Quote #4

"I just saved your f***ing life, Mom," Y.T. says. "You could at least offer me an Oreo." (35.96)

The rift in the mother-daughter relationship is pretty wide at this point. Y.T. thinks she's saving her mom's life by destroying her ability to look at a computer screen that might be carrying a virus; Y.T.'s mom knows none of this and is angry at her crystal-award-slinging daughter.

Quote #5

"But this time, Ninhursag manages to obtain a sample of Enki's semen from Uttu's thighs."

"My God. Talk about your mother-in-law from hell." (33.68-69)

Yep, even the gods have family issues. Like incest. And… just ick.

Quote #6

The only ones left in the city are street people […] immigrants […] Young smart people like Da5id and Hiro, who can take the risk of living in the city because they like stimulation and they know they can handle it. (24.75)

Don't have a family to take care of? Great. You're eligible to live by yourself and take more risks, which will either pay off or kill you. You can thank us later.
