How we cite our quotes: (Part.Paragraph)
Quote #7
Most everyone thinks of Smekday as the day the Boov arrived, and as the day they left, one year later. But the longer they've been gone, the less I care about that. The Boov weren't anything special. They were just people. They were too smart and too stupid to be anything else. (2.722)
It turns out the Boov are more human than alien, or at least they have the same emotions. We wonder if the Gorg have the same capacity for being smart and stupid, and if Tip just spent time with the worst ones.
Quote #8
"Maaa-aa-aa-aa-aa!" J.Lo laughed. "Of course the Boov love. The Boov love everything!" (3.81)
Tip thinks the Boov don't really love if they love everything. We think Tip's being pretty judgmental about love, though. Who put her in charge of intergalactic definitions?
Quote #9
"It doesn't matter!" I said, standing. "Green or purple… it's still the wrong color skin, and they aren't welcome here!" (3.250)
Yikes. Tip makes it abundantly clear here that she doesn't have something against Boov or Gorg specifically, but against all aliens and anyone who isn't a human. Not her finest moment.
