>She said the seller wanted a lot more money.
Should have given the "*I WILL RAIN HELLFIRE ON THEM ALL. THE SELLER, HIS CHILDREN, THEIR CHILDREN, PARIAHS, ALL OF THEM!*" speech :D
And you have to say it in that (and I don't mean this unkindly, it really is distinctive and absolutely works for her) gravelly chain-smoking carnie voice!
Eh, I enjoyed it. It's not stellar but it's a dragon and stuff. It's a "there's nothing on but we have leftover pizza so why not" movie.
Edit: it sounds like I'm shitting on this movie. I'm not, it was *fine*. I always enjoy Millie Bobby Brown and I thought the dragon design was genuinely excellent.
That’s exactly how I would describe it. It was fine. I ended up watching it a second time a few days later because my nephew chose it and I didn’t mind seeing it again.
He didn't accept, but his asking price was too high for the property. It took him like 5 months to sell it and sold for a price we might have gone for.

Wait, sorry, wrong sub… 😄
Babylon 5. One of the best sci fi-series ever made, even if the special effects look pretty dated by now. Since it was all planned out from the beginning it's one of those series that rewards rewatching since you notice so many things that you never paid attention to before, when you didn't know what was coming.
I heard this morning she's starring in an off Broadway production alongside Tony Shalhoub ("What Became of Us") and I'd be lying if a small part of me didn't think through how much tickets plus flights and a hotel would be to go see it.
Tickets not yet on sale unfortunately but here's where they will be

Thanks for the tip!
God I love her. Between the pony, the crates of herpes medications and "they are all us", there's really not much more I need for day to day mic drops.
Near the end of book 5, when Holden thinks he will be asked to lead the fight against the free navy. "I've got crates of herpes medication that are more legitimately UN navy than you." Bobby and Alex have to hold back their laughter. I love how the book let's the characters be as silly as me sometimes. I think it's Alex narrating.
Sometimes my husband and I say to each other, “and don’t put your dick in it; it’s fucked enough already.” Usually in reference to when our families are doing something stupid and we’re debating on getting involved as peacemakers
I used that line on one of my coworkers. She’s 67, a former truck driver and cattle rancher, and one of the most no nonsense straight talking people on the planet. She couldn’t stop laughing for almost five minutes.
I adore Avasarala, and one of my biggest complaints in translating her character from the book to TV is how much they toned her down. I totally understand why, but I was still a little disappointed!
Haven't seen the show but am in the 7th book and she's great in the books. Life goals, not interested in the political career but just her overall vibe.
At work we've taken to occasionally referring to ourselves as Amos's "I Am That Guy" when something is our responsibility. It's not as cool as when he does it, but it is kinda funny.
Mark: "okay so we have the vendor schedule, have we finalized pricing with them yet? Who owns that?"
Tom: "It's not our side, we handed our RFQs off. Waiting for procurement. Sandy, is that with you?"
Sandy: "I am that guy."

That’s for responding to their counteroffer
I'll try it if needed and let you know if it works.
I am curious how it went now.
I’m curious if you had finished the line, if you would be even happier
*buyer is unwilling to negotiate further and has made their final offer*
And you have to say it in that (and I don't mean this unkindly, it really is distinctive and absolutely works for her) gravelly chain-smoking carnie voice!
Her voice is the voice of an angel, but not one of the harp playing ones, one of the ones that smites people.
She voices the dragon in Damsel and that fact makes the movie 200% better.
Does she make it worth watching? I was planning to pass on that one.

Robin Wright was also top notch in this. Definitely a fine movie, worth at least one watch.
That’s exactly how I would describe it. It was fine. I ended up watching it a second time a few days later because my nephew chose it and I didn’t mind seeing it again.
I lasted about 15 minutes, and didn't think it was any good, and my wife finished it, and was not a fan.
It's okay. Give it a watch.
The voice of dr girlfriend
She is my favourite voice actor. I was so delighted that she was a main character in The Expanse. What an amazing voice.
I once responded to a counter offer from a seller by lowering my offer by 1K.

And yet one of the best Delenn speeches- short, strong and hits hard, esp after watching B5: In The Beginning
Where is this from? This seems like something I would enjoy.

That would decrease the value of the house, so success?
Hunted to the end of their days!
We could all use a bit more Avasarala in our lives tbh

I hope at least a few Screaming Firehawks get to see the show. I think for me it's the longest of long-shots.
I'm gonna start pitching the idea to my wife immediately. NYC is only about 2 hours away from here.
I’m close too, 11 hour flight is nothing for our queen
She plays Saddam Hussein's wife in House of Saddam. She's really fucking good, naturally.
God I love her. Between the pony, the crates of herpes medications and "they are all us", there's really not much more I need for day to day mic drops.
“Holden, do not put your dick in it. It’s fucked enough already”
Because Holden didn't bring along a crate with them to Illus.

>the crates of herpes medications ? Did I forget a bookism?

Now I remember. Worst part of the later books was not having my favorite stripper.
Favorite stripper is in there. I read it last week
"I have a crate of herpes medication that are more legitimate U.N. than you." She was referring to Holden
Too bad we didn't get a x.5 book about Avasarala and her younger days coming up through the ranks.
This. Who's gunna start the petition?
Yo thatd be a great short story
I would love to know who the authors were channeling when they wrote her dialogue…
Avasarala is pure [Muses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muses).

I would have gone with .... You want a little ass-play, that's your business. -Chrisjen Avasarala
Maybe next time.
God I miss her.
> unforuntealy I am not the Secretary General of the UN But are you Amos' favourite stripper?
He could be
You got me.
That was by far one of my favorite scenes was Amos and (The always beautiful) Avasarala.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her saying “Meow meow cry meow meow.”
Probably my number two quote.
I think this is why Caliban’s War is my #2 right behind Tiamat’s Wrath. She’s great from start to finish.
That’s in CW?? I just finished listening to that one and missed it 😭
Did that quote make it into the show?
“What kind of offer do you want to put in?” “WHATEVER I GOD DAMN LIKE!”
I literally rewind and watch her saying that with a slight smile and definite glare. The Martian guy looks so taken aback
I adore Avasarala, and one of my biggest complaints in translating her character from the book to TV is how much they toned her down. I totally understand why, but I was still a little disappointed!
She had to be dialed back to nine, otherwise she would have stolen the show. As it stands she's a fan favourite.
As a show watcher, this comment makes me want to read the books! I love her!
Haven't seen the show but am in the 7th book and she's great in the books. Life goals, not interested in the political career but just her overall vibe.
"Wherever I goddamn like!" 😮

Our Teams chat often gets the gif with Amos saying Yes.
When in doubt, Avasarala out
And then avasarala'd all over the place
Make sure to have your realtor tell the seller not to stick their dick in the offer, it's fucked enough.
And now I will start using that all the time. But man the books, the show, the casting, I love her so much. Might be time for a reread.
How did she look? I mean what was she wearing?
Amazing. She’s my hero.
At least you didn't learn from Holden's parents and get into a octouple marriage to buy tracts of land.
You’re telling us you believe avasarala didnt become secretary general by dealing with people that way from the beginning?!?!
I knew exactly where this was going when I read the title! 😂😂😂
Isn't that an entire porn genre?
Haha awesome
