"I'm busy trying not to look like anything edible."

"So, while we're sitting here on this luxury yacht enjoying our bread and water, why doesn't someone tell me the plan?"

"Fun fact: You may hug koalas in the Australian state of New South Wales, but not in Queensland. So, if you didn't hug your koala nice and tight before you got here to Sydney, you're going to be shit out of luck until we go back to Surfer's Paradise."
