Vuja de.

You a friend of Henrietta?

[collareddog]

[Looks up and nods.] Yes, Signore.

[mercwamouth]

God, right down to the creepy "Signore" thing.

[collareddog]

That's how I'm supposed to address people.

[mercwamouth]

Which is creepy.

[collareddog]

Why is it creepy, Signore?

[mercwamouth]

'Cause it's got that whole "Stepford Wives" thing going on with it. Don't need a reminder that you're a cyborg or whatever.

[collareddog]

[mercwamouth]

Well no, but you cyborgs say it like you're programmed to say it.

[collareddog]

We are.

[mercwamouth]

My point exactly.
