Lara on the Power of Laughter

I enjoy bringing LOLs to the otherwise boring life of America's youth.

Lara on Episode Previews

(looking at episode preview clip for 'Trash')

"Is Mal wearing pants?"

Emma: "No."

"He just likes to walk around wearing no pants?

(episode starts)

*snicker* Pants are not mandatory here."

Lara on French

Monsieur: "Comment dit-on (How do you say...) 'How much is the grapefruit juice', Lara?"

"I don't know; I don't buy grapefruit juice."

Monsieur: "No, Lara, translate."

Lara on Apologies

(say with mumble) "Missouri."

Lara on Tom Sawyer

"WHAT THE HUCK?!"

As seen here.

Lara on Quotes

"I should follow Kira around so that every time I say something funny she can write it down."

Lara on Papyrus

"I thought it was some kind of weird fruit I'd never heard of."

Emma: "They're in the same place!"

"Yes, but they're higher."

Lara on Manicures

"It's a French manicure. I thought she was saying "fringe" for the longest time. It made sense. Fringe. Like... the edge of your nail."

Lara on Cell Phones

(hears phone ringing, look incredibly surprised) "My phone is ringing!"

Emma: "Yes, Lara, that's what happens when you actually turn it on."

Lara on Spelling Bees

"The only thing that motivates me, besides the glory of a ribbon and a pat on the back, is the fact that last year's national champion got to be one of the audience spellers in the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee."

Lara on New CDs

(about the Les Miserables Original French Concept CD)

"I love my new CD.

It now seems to be Fantine's Arrest. I DON'T CARE THAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THEM! SHUTTUP! I can tell little snippits...and the tunes! So...I'll eventually be able to sing the whole CD in French...even though I can't understand what I'm saying. WHOA! That part was really cool. And I understood what Javert just said. W00t."

Lara on Criticism

(talking about Les Miserables)

"...instead of dying at "pup...grows-*boom!*", it was something like...err...."trust Gavroche, count to ten. *boom!*"

Lara on Protests

"I say we build a barricade."

Lara on Joints and Lung Functions

Emma X: (waking up to realize she is falling off the bed) "Lara... why are you in my bed?!?"

"I got cold."

Emma X: "... get out."

Lara on Sleeptalking

Emma X: "I mean, you have to be so righteous in your ability to..."

Kira: "Go back to sleep, Lara."

"I'm totally awake."

Kira: "How much did you hear?"

"Something about righteousness." (goes back to sleep)

Lara on Hidey Holes

*thump* *bang* *thud* "Hehe... dust bunnies."

Lara on Spandex Socks

"I'm Superman!"

Lara on the Big Issues

"Why is Dove chocolate and soap? I mean, I don't want to eat soap, and I don't want to wash myself with chocolate."

Kira: "Who doesn't want to wash themself with chocolate? Weirdo."
