“You think you can do whatever you want because your corporation is a universitey! This country was founded on the ideas that one corporation couldn’t hog all the slaves while the rest of us wollow in poverty! screw you sah, Im going home!”

So poigant, when you look at how we function in many facets of modern society. Not that people don’t get paid, but that “paid” means less and less over time.

also “moral teflon”.

    I’ve got two and they’re both from Butters:

    • Grandma? I did it, Grandma. I finally stood up for myself. I got real mean and I beat the shnot outta Dr. Oz. I can’t lie, it felt kind of good. At first. But since then all I have is just… a kind of dark, empty feeling. Then I realized… that’s how you must feel. All the time. Poor old Grandma. You know, I-I’ve been gettin’ lots of advice how to deal with you. Stand up to you, tell on you… But I kind of realize there’s just people like you out there. All over the place. When you’re a kid, things seem like they’re gonna last forever. But they’re not. Life changes. Why you won’t always be around. Someday you’re gonna die. Someday pretty soon. And when you’re layin’ in that hospital bed, with tubes up your nose, and that little pan under your butt to pee in, well I’ll come visit ya. I’ll come just to show you that, that I’m still alive and I’m still happy. And you’ll die. Bein’ nothin’ but you. 'Night Grandma.
    • Kyle, every boy pays for kisses. Do you know what I am saying? If you got a girl and she kisses you, sooner or later you’re paying for it. You gotta take her out to lunch, take her to a movie, and then spend time listening to all her stupid problems. Look, look at Stan right there. He’s got to sit there and listen to all her stupid motherfuckin’ problems 'cause she kisses him. If you ask me, that’s a lot more than the $5 my company charges.

    Now, I’m not a proponent for elder abuse and I don’t pay for kisses, but both of these lines get me every time. Butters is much more insightful than he seems at face value, and I love him for it.

      “Well yeah, and I’m sad, but at the same time I’m really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It’s like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin’ really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I’m feelin’ is like a, beautiful sadness. I guess that sounds stupid.”

      Butters = 🐐
