Mateo Quote #230
Quote from Mateo in Managers' Conference
Mateo: Cheyenne, I can't believe you didn't tell me you were pregnant.
Glenn: Cheyenne, you're pregnant?
Dina: Obviously she is. Look at her boobs.
Garrett: Whoa!
Cheyenne: I'm not pregnant.
Mateo: But Sayid said... [scoffs] That guy's always making up stuff about people.
Glenn: Huh?
Mateo: I mean, it's it's not his fault. Uh, it's a cultural thing. You know, lying is a big part of Syrian culture.
Dina: I've never heard that, and I've slept with a ton of Syrian dudes.
Cheyenne: Wait, is that where the phrase, "lying like a Syrian" comes from, Mateo?
Mateo: Oh, you know, now that you mention it, that makes sense. Yes, Cheyenne.
Garrett: Wow, what a completely natural conversation, Cheyenne and Mateo.

Quote from Sayid
Sayid: I was fleeing the civil war in Syria.
Cheyenne: Whoa, what was Syria like?
Sayid: Not good. Seriously, not good.
Glenn: Yeah, there's all sorts of, like, rampant destruction and beheadings and locusts, right?
Sayid: Yes, though the locusts had nothing to do with the war. They're a seasonal nuisance.
Dina: Hey, what are your thoughts on the movie, Syriana?
Sayid: I thought George Clooney was pretty okay, and Matt Damon was just okay.
Quote from Glenn
Cheyenne: Well, I've heard that E-Verify is full of bugs. Just lots and lots of bugs.
Glenn: They're not bugs, Cheyenne. They're human beings.
Quote from Mateo
Mateo: So Syria, huh?
Sayid: Why does everyone here start conversations like that?
Mateo: Ha. You know, I'm actually an immigrant, too. Not a refugee, like you. Knock on wood. [knocks twice] Just a regular, undocumented immigrant. Or is it "documented"? I'm always mixing those up. I think it's like inflammable-flammable, where they mean the same thing?
Sayid: No, they're opposites.
Mateo: Anyway, I'm definitely the legal kind. Came here legally, took the citizenship test, got sworn in by the president.
Sayid: The president swore you in?
Mateo: Uh-huh, yeah. Yeah. They, um... They do it personally. At least they used to.
Sayid: Which president?
Mateo: God, it's been so long, I don't even remember. One of the white ones? I wanna say... Henderson.
