CAMP WEEK QUOTE WALL

We're theatre people. We say funny things sometimes. Here's proof: 


FROM THE STAFF

(playing hacky-sack with Jacob) "I used to be good at this, back in the day. But then I...took naps." --Matt

"I'm exhausted. And there were seven of them. And they were perfect." --JB

(in character at the Murder Mystery dinner)
Liz: I am the head of the postmodern freeform movement.
Jacob: Ooooh, you mean like lesbians and stuff.

"There are too many chefs in the cookin." --Jerry

Chelsey: I don't want to toot my own horn or anything...
Katie: Do it! Toot it!
Everyone: Toot it! Toot it! 

"If we can get that little fool to speak one language." --Jerry

"Y'all gonna be sleepin' like precious lil babies." --Seve

"Let me put the wig on now that I'm Polynesian." --Katie

"Please everyone refrain from using words that make Mr. Costner go retarded." --Jerry

(coming downstairs from the Black Box catwalk)
"I was playing with sound. And I made a sound story. About some seagulls. And they're flying. And then a storm blows in, and they get upset. But then some Grecian monks come. And they calm the seagulls. With their chanting." (long pause) "I call it 'Grecian Seagulls in a Storm.'" --Matt

3-headed Expert answer to the question "Who killed Dr Who?":
"He-was-killed-by-a-man-with-a-disability-(long pause)-period."

Jordan: We have a good long history with drooling. (pause) Wait that sounded weird.
Alex: It was his drool.

"If I was an animal, I'd move my tongue like this to attract a mate." --Jordan

FROM THE PARTICIPANTS

(after performing the dance for the EFY kids) "That was really fun!" (pause) "My legs are really wobbly." --Drake

"Jerry gives the best hugs. He's like a big teddy bear." --Dreemi

"I'm feeling fat and sassy." --Sarah, while sitting down to breakfast

Kristina: We found out about the camp from the parade.
Sarah: Wait. The Rexburg parade?
Kristina: Yeah.
Sarah: You came from Boise to Rexburg for the parade?
(long pause)
Kristina: You guys have a chocolate milk truck in yours. 

Katie: I am so tired.
Drake: With a hint of lime.

"I didn't know Drake wasn't a member. He IS from Hailey. There are a lot of liberals and Democrats and environmentalists down there." --Sarah

"I will go...crazy on you. (pause) I was about to say 'Nazi on you' but that would be inappropriate." --Drake
