Not the only ones who what, eat people? Yeah, yeah, tell me about it. It's pretty damn sad when you're used to fighting things like that.
The thing I wanna know is...what the hell did those things put on their blades? That stuff could put me out of business.

I do not want your forgiveness, nor do I expect to receive it, Helen. Nevertheless, I would like it if we could at least be civil with one another.
Those happenings are in the past, and I think Priscilla might appreciate the both of us not being at each others' throats. Furthermore, I feel strongly that I would make a far better ally than an enemy, don't you think?
So, it is your turn to tell me something now. Do you believe that it would be possible for you and I to move on? Keep in mind, I am not asking for your trust, merely your cooperation.

So you stay away from my throat and I'll stay away from yours. That's as good as it's gonna get.

But I needn't be at your throat to pay you a visit at the Foxhole, Helen. And I intend to do just that sooner or later.

[Orange does remind him of Ichigo, however. And it reminds him that he hasn't spoken to the boy in too long. Something to remedy, then. Sooner rather than later. But first...]
I will take your word for it. How is tomorrow evening for you? I will pay your establishment a visit at that time.
Don't forget the strawberries, Helen.

[As in, there's no good time for something like that. Now the how the hell's she going to tell Deneve. Or better yet, keep them separated.]
