JAPANESE FROM HEROES FOR THE DAY: tomodachi = friend. Pronounced "toe-moe-dah-chee." Spelled in Japanese as ともだち.
jaa ne = not so much "goodbye" but more of a jaunty, informal "see ya." Spelled in Japanese as じゃあね.
ETA: Moshi-moshi is a telephone-only "Hello?" It is pronounced more or less like you said - Japanese occasionally drops its vowels when they come at the end of a word, like desu is pronounced "dess." You can pronounce the vowel, but it must be barely audible, so "hello?" comes out as "moe-sh'mowsh." (Always long os.) Spelled もしもし.
Can I just ask? See, this is why I can't really get into Heroes...what the balls is the purpose of even keeping Sylar alive? I mean, he killed Nathan, right? You'd think the Petrellis would be a bit perturbed by that, yes? My husband tried to pass it off as "well, he's in politics, they have to keep him alive" and I'm all "No. People die all the time. They even get murdered. Even political figures. Shit happens, kill the fuck out of Sylar! Don't sit

I do love the horror... But if the psychological stuff gets too much for me (I couldn't stand the Cape Fear remake, for example), then I run away.
And then ... he goes all sinister. *melts* Excuse me ...
Oh thank God, it's not just me. It's the same as the Chick's Christmas Special or the Critic's Halloween episode, what should be nightmare fuel just becomes far too hot. We're really sick people, aren't we?
Oh thank God, it's not just me. Oh, it's far from just you ... we're just the only ones to have admitted it thus far. (Seriously, he was all 'step into my lair, milady ...' and I thought 'all he needs now are fangs and a cape and I'm his forever ...')
It's the same as the Chick's Christmas Special or the Critic's Halloween episode, what should be nightmare fuel just becomes far too hot. Indeed! (I can't work up the nerve to WATCH the Christmas Special ... is it very scary? Will I never look at stuffed animals the same again?)
We're really sick people, aren't we? Um ... we limit ourselves, and we aknowledge that we're bound for Special Hell ... so ... we're not as bad as we could be? *shrugs* If it's sick to enjoy a pretty girl singing and posing sexily, or a cute guy looking rumpled and woobified, or a normally nice-guy acting evil ... I think there are a LOT of other people just as sick as us. tvtropes confirms this!
Indeed! (I can't work up the nerve to WATCH the Christmas Special ... is it very scary? Will I never look at stuffed animals the same again?)
I think it's her darkest and her best. It involves the Nella-getting-abused scene, the Santa Baby routine (which obviously isn't scary but, yeah hot), the roofie joke, a bit towards the end where she acts like the Joker and one segment where she slows down a song by the Chipmunks, puts in all these disturbing images and even makes herself look like a skeleton at one point. It's all very creepy and psychotic but at the same time, incredibly hot. :P
Woops, I mean to type the Critic's Halloween Special. I just watched it. Creepy, but there was the added bonus of the Critic looking all freaked out (what is it with my love of the rumpled, disheveled look on guys?) and then the bit were Teddy put the gun IN HIS MOUTH (ungh ... I need to go lie down ... excuse me ...) Of course I've seen the Chick's Christmas episode! It was funny, sexy, scary, and disturbing all at the same time!
