Brad: You did it again, didn't you? You ate my pet.

Schlock: Sorry, Brad. I thought it was a rat.

Brad: Something about that disturbs me in a visceral way.

Brad: And for your information, it was not a rat. It was a gerbil.

Brad: Gerbils are harmless and playful... Gentle...

Schlock: I'd add 'tender' to the list.

Schlock: Tender, but with just the right amount of crunch. They're succulent, in a small, furry kind of way.

Schlock: ...much better than rats.

Narrator: Thanks, Schlock. Now we're all viscerally disturbed.
