Quotes

Ewan Niles: Fuck this place! This mess is a blessing in disguise, trust me. You don't want to end up like me.
Derek Cho: What are you talking about? You have everything figured out!
Ewan Niles: No, Derek. This - this - this meditation & this incense, it's all bullshit. You think I like the taste of kale? Come on! I'm fucking dead inside.
