Hah. Okay, the igloo joke was clever.

I can't even imagine it... It's... Like the balance of nature is wrong.

Why do you all think something's going on? Nothing's going on!

I can appreciate a good pun. Even if the person who said it hates my guts.

Brainwashed? Wh... What are you talking about?

[ Huff. ] [ Lightly pokes her forehead. ] What's so funny?

Relax...? [ He scratches the back of his head. ] Uncle taught me to meditate, but... Somehow I can't get it right...?
