Diphtheria: Rooter has two working brain cells that aren’t always both on at the same time.
Courtney: He described a female Jukani.
Diphtheria: What? How could there be a Jukani here? They don’t have SHIPS! He must have found my files and used them to play a stupid trick on me.
Courtney: He seemed pretty frantic. He didn’t know the name of the species. He seemed to think you’d like each other.
Diphtheria: What? I don’t like anyone. He should know that by now.
Courtney: Should I get the FBI on the phone?
Diphtheria: Hello, Mr. FBI Man? My name is Diphtheria Jenkins. Yes, that's my real name. My friend Rooter- and that's also his real name- he's found one of these aliens I discovered the existence of via the Internet— how old am l? I’m twelve. Will you do something, please, sir?'
