I prefer insects' organs remaining off my belongings.

Better they be dead organs than livin' ones though, yeah? [smirk] Leave that thing runnin' around alive and it'll probably just wait til you're asleep n'lay eggs in your ear, aha! [screwy laugh, that]

[NO SERIOUSLY. He's thinking she's either liquored up (not a bad thing) or seen some crazy-ass voodoo in her time. Either way, she's damn well got his attention.]
