{{quote| '''Carpenter:''' Typical. I try to help and this is the thanks I get. Do you think I can't see you shaking at the other end of that barrel? Do you think I don't know your brain is trying to process the ''horrible'' fact that "Oh my god it talks!" and if it talks, it thinks, and you don't like that.}}
