I ran out of minutes for a while there. But we're good now. [and he shakes his head, scratches through his hair again, much to Gizmo's squirming dismay.] Nah. It's not stupid. But I think I'm okay.

There's still more varieties of monsters out there than most can name, and each one's got their own reason for bein' dangerous. Even if you were Superman, I'd still be fuckin' worried.

Yeah, uh. That's not exactly something that showed up on the news. But that was an adventure, for the serious lack of a better word.
