Go To

Lorelahn: Let us show these abominations the forest's rage!

Caboose: You see I-I killed Church and um I kept his helmet-
Sarge:-Badass!
Caboose: -and-and when he died, and he died a lot, I-I'd sit with him and feel...um...not better, but um...it's complicated. You see, when someone dies, my brain likes to hurt me with memories and I don't know why.
Genkins: Do you have a point?
Caboose: After Epsilon went away, holding the helmet helped me think, cause it hurts to look at. Does that make sense? It hurt me so that I didn't have to. Grief, grief is weird but these days I like to feel better and you're making me sad SO PLEASE PUT HIS BODY DOWN!
Genkins: Hmmmmmm, no.
Caboose: Put. It. Down.
Genkins: Or what?
Caboose snaps and attacks Genkins in a violent rage

Dr. Hibbert: Second is anger...
Homer: Why you little—?! Do'h—! Aaargh!
Dr. Hibbert: After that comes fear.
Homer: What's after fear? What's after fear?!
Dr. Hibbert: Bargaining.
Homer: Doc, you gotta get me outta this. I'll make it worth your while!
Dr. Hibbert: And finally — acceptance.
Homer: (shrugs) Well, we all gotta go sometime.
Dr. Hibbert: Mr. Simpson, your progress astounds me!

Bismuth: (desperate) Oh no, am I smothering you? I get it, I get it. How about I build you a nice vacation house just outside of Little Homeworld?
Lapis: (seriously) Listen to me, Steven. You can't run away from yourself. Wherever you go, you'll be there. Trust me, I know.
Peridot: (sobbing) Where am I going to find another Steven as good as you, huh? I like this one so much!
