1 | * In "Tourist Dispute", when [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster1/004-003.html Gilou identifies and resolves the tourist's complaint about her tour guide.]] |
2 | * After [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster1/006-002.html Tal cut his hand slicing a roll of bread and asks Gilou to help patch it:]] |
3 | -->'''Gilou:''' I didn't realize it was so late -- I was going over reports, then I got caught up talking to Zefonith. You should have called me. I would have made lunch.\ |
4 | '''Tal:''' Gilou, I'm perfectly capable of making a sandwich.\ |
5 | [''[[BeatPanel Gilou gives Tal a look.]]'']\ |
6 | '''Tal:''' There were extenuating circumstances. |
7 | * Tal's discomfort with sexual matters has created quite a few, such as [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster1/008-002.html this page from the chapter "In Which The Main Characters Are Damp".]] |
8 | * When [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster2/012-010.html Her Royal Highness Jillienne Stelton of the Kingdom of Larry lands and is met by Governor Bretnon Falstoph Perius Tallifens Monteblanc LVII]], the first thing Jille does is ask to see Tal's hands. [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster2/012-011.html Because she's looking for someone to date and -- because her father's kingdom is a dairy farm -- he needs to be someone who works with his hands.]] |
9 | * In "A Picnic In The Shrine", when [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster2/014-006.html Javin and Gilou tease Tal.]] |
10 | * Javin is a professional blogger (although [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster3/018-002.html his official title is "Public Nuisance"]]) ... who wears [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster3/018-013.html a pork pie hat with "VOID" tags stuck in the band]], instead of a trilby with "PRESS" tags. |
11 | * "Founder's Day", in which Tal realizes that he needs to give a speech and no longer has Partasah to write it for him, has quite a few funny moments: |
12 | ** When [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster3/021-007.html Tal tries to get Javin to write his speech.]] |
13 | --->'''Tal:''' Doesn't speechwriting fall under your duties?\ |
14 | '''Javin:''' Nope. Partasah was too smart for that. You really wanna get up in front of a crowd and read something I wrote?\ |
15 | '''Tal:''' ...all right, that's probably a bad idea.\ |
16 | '''Javin:''' "People of Port Tethys, I'd like to take a moment to apologize for my lack of fashion sense, and that [[ApologizesALot I apologize far too much]]..." |
17 | ** ...and [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster3/021-012.html while he's wandering the town asking everyone for advice:]] |
18 | --->'''Kere:''' I think your speech needs to be about how everyone should eat deep-fried seafood and that my shop is open late for the holiday.\ |
19 | '''Tal:''' Kere, you are the first person to give me a solid answer. |
20 | ** At the end, when Tal finally writes a speech for himself and [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster3/021-016.html delivers it to the awaiting crowd:]] |
21 | --->'''Tal:''' People of Port Tethys ... keep up the good work. Enjoy your holiday.\ |
22 | '''The audience''' [''as Tal walks off stage'']: ''Yay!''\ |
23 | '''Gilou:''' Seriously? |
24 | ** ...and on the page after, [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster3/021-017.html the reaction of Tal's father and grandfather, watching the ceremony on the news feed.]] |
25 | * In ''Devoir Familial'', Tal has an [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster4/024-005.html exceedingly awkward]] conversation with his grandfather about marriage and relationships. It continues for a few pages. |
26 | * In "Pulp", Zefonith's reactions throughout. |
27 | ** First, immediately after his FishOutOfTemporalWater patient, Richard Stevenson, [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster4/029-002.html awakens in his lab.]][[labelnote:Translation]]from [[http://www.langsci.ucl.ac.uk/ipa/ IPA]]: Panel 1: "Human. You've slept long enough. No use putting it off. Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life." Panel 2: "I don't understand a word you're ... of course -- language barrier." Panel 4 ([[PlayAlongPrisoner as he allows Stevenson to haul him off by the arm]]): "I suppose I'd be rude if I woke up in a strange laboratory, too."[[/labelnote]] |
28 | ** Second, after he's recruited Governor Monteblanc to translate, and [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster4/029-005.html Monteblanc is busy trying to explain to Stevenson his actual situation.]][[labelnote:Translation]]Zefonith: "Twenty years and I finally found a use for the Veran." Jendolyn: "Sh."[[/labelnote]] |
29 | * [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster4/029-019.html Javin flirting with Gilou.]] ("Don't you humans know how to state your intentions outright?" "Ah, but what if my intention is only to trade lines?") |
30 | * [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster4/029-030.html Richard Stevenson tries to yell at 'Frenchie' about the side effects of his resurrection.]] |
31 | -->'''Tal:''' What's wrong, Ri-- ''[sees Richard naked, brandishing a towel]'' -- what has everyone got against clothes? |
32 | * [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster4/029-034.html Tal starts walking downstairs to meet Javin, who is talking with someone on the phone]] ... and then starts ''running'' when he hears ''whom'' Javin is arguing with: [[spoiler:Tal's evil grandfather]]. |
33 | * [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster5/029-048.html The snippet we hear of one of Javin's 'the despot is a no-fun jerk' editorials.]] |
34 | -->'''Javin:''' '...and furthermore, [[BigStupidDoodooHead our governor dresses funny, and he smells.]]'\ |
35 | '''Gilou:''' [[LiteralMinded He smells sort of like vanilla. I think he and Anthemys use the same shampoo.]]\ |
36 | '''Javin:''' Details. |
37 | * [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster5/029-057.html At the end of "Pulp":]] |
38 | -->'''Gilou:''' I take it Richard is on his way to Veras?\ |
39 | '''Tal:''' I don't think the Ukariels are awful enough to deserve him, but I'm selfish enough to be glad that he's no longer my problem.\ |
40 | '''Gilou:''' Want me to mind the office a while longer?\ |
41 | '''Tal:''' No, I'll be fine. I'd rather get right back into my regular routine--\ |
42 | '''Tourist:''' ''[barging in]'' ''I was filming a tamtusuchus and it ate my camera! You owe me a new camera!''\ |
43 | '''Gilou:''' I'll leave you to your routine. |
44 | * [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster5/032-003.html In a flashback to Jendolyn Basaday as a child:]] |
45 | -->'''Capt. Basaday:''' L'il Jendy, you can be anything you want.\ |
46 | '''Zefonith:''' You could be a fish.\ |
47 | '''Capt. Basaday:''' What? |
48 | * For all that Gilou is an excellent physician, they've [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster6/035-002.html never been all that artistically inclined]], even when inspired by a life drawing. |
49 | -->'''Partasah:''' So much for any hope that we're raising an artist. Looks like we've got a doctor.\ |
50 | '''Nephos:''' Balak said that it's the most accurate drawing anyone's ever done of him. Gilou will be smug for days. |
51 | * In the winding down of a WhamEpisode, Tal wakes up [[spoiler:on the surgery table]]. [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster7/041-074.html One of the first things he says:]] |
52 | -->'''Tal:''' [[NakedFreakOut Where are my clothes?]] I had trousers on when [[spoiler:I went under]]!\ |
53 | '''Zefonith:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Good to hear your priorities are in order.]] |
54 | * Perius [[http://www.waywardmartian.com/harbourmaster8/043-107.html finally realizes]] that maybe, just ''maybe'', Gilou would be a good choice for his grandson, BigScrewedUpFamily be damned. |
55 | -->'''Gilou:''' Perius, I know you're only being truthful with me because [[FalseDichotomy you think it will give me a dilemma]] -- should I tell Tal the terrible secrets or leave him in comfortable ignorance? But there is no dilemma. He would want to know and [[UndyingLoyalty I tell him everything.]] |
56 | -->''{{Beat}}'' |
57 | -->'''Perius:''' Did Tal ''really'' turn you down? |
58 | -->'''Gilou:''' Yes. |
59 | -->'''Perius:''' That stupid boy. |
