First slug [in negligee, blowing smoke rings towards ceiling]: No, I’m not bored.
Second slug [wearing nothing but slime]: It’s just, you seem so distant.
First slug: Nooooo, anytime you get more of those protein pellets, feel free to come over.
Second slug: You’re getting hooked.

Tortoise [Sticks head out so human can scratch her under chin]: —
Human: Time for the salt!
