"Flower of Life."
"That's nice. What are you doing with my uniform buttons?"
"Making you comfortable."

So Rem, or someone else?

Pick a schmuck in uniform.

"Ah, is this before or after you lot evolved to better fit in on Earth?"
"AFTER, of course."

Dr. Grant: "So; Rand...how DID you get a video camera shoved up your...?"

Rand: "How far up is it?"

Nurse Hugh Mann: "We've got a great close up of your tonsils."

[SRoss]

Capt. Grant: "Sir, I'd like to be exempted from the program."

"Why?"

Capt. Grant: "My wife would kill me and she has the extensive Medical knowledge to make it painful."

Dr. Grant: "Damn strait!"

[taalismn]

"That was...startling..."
"Yes, didn't expect the Invid ...uhm...delegates...to show up in person to make their petition..."
"So apparently they stopped at Earth's polar region before moving down into the more densely populated areas?"
"Yes, and decided to check up on residual protoculture signs up there. They incidentally got a good look at some of the abandoned human facilities up there..."
"WE REALLY got to re-survey that area."
"Agreed."
"Anyways, how'd the Admiral take the news."
"He's locked himself in his quarters after raiding the liquor cabinet."
"And the Ambassador?"
"Still in shock."
"Wouldn't you be if several monochromatic copies of yourself showed up and said they 'wanted to become one with you' and your husband?"

Rand: "I was healing alright from the beating Rook gave me, but my roommate, Col. Wolff, tried to pass an armor-piercing kidney stone..."
Lancer: "Uh-oh, that doesn't sound good...but it doesn't explain your burns."

"....and the bad news?"
"You've broken just about everything else in your body. You're confined to this body cast for the foreseeable future."
"Stupid humans! We Invid can REGENERATE from such injuries easily enough!"
"So can we, with the right technologies. But about that; we received explicit instructions from the Regis NOT to use regenerative procedures on you. Something about 'keeping that loudmouth little upstart down for a while...' So, for the time being, you're confined to the Convalescent Ward of Manhattan General."
"Ah, Manhattan? As in the hu-man island community of Manhattan?"
"Why yes, we found you in Central Park, not far from here. You're familiar with this city?"
