Quote 4
In the eyes of our Lord Jesus Christ [every death matters]. Even the sparrows that fall out of their nest and what not. (3.16.33)
It's surprising to hear this attitude from Rachel, who acts as though she's superior to everyone else. We guess death is the great equalizer, even to her. (Although check out that totally Rachel-esque "what not" at the end there.)
Quote 5
Mr. Patrice will be the Prime Minister of the Congo now and it won't be the Belgian Congo anymore, it will be the Republic of Congo. And do you think anybody in this hip town we live in is actually going to notice? (2.9.5)
Despite making fun of the guy's name, Rachel makes a good point here. Many citizens of the now Republic of Congo won't even notice a difference. Who is this change of power mostly going to benefit? And are the consequences of American elections really any different?
Quote 6
We Christians have our own system of marriage, and it is called Monotony. (6.2.10)
This is another one of Rachel's surprisingly accurate malapropisms... especially for her, to whom her endless successions of marriages are just one monotonous, monogamous event after the other.
