Eventually Georgie said, We better get some milk for those bunnies.
We dont have
milk, I said.
Well mix sugar up with it.
Will you forget about this milk all of a sudden?
Theyre mammals, man.
Forget about those rabbits.
Where are they, anyway?
Youre not listening to me. I said, Forget the rabbits.
Where are they?

Little feet! Little eyelids! Even whiskers! Deceased, I said.
Georgie asked, Does everything you touch turn to shit? Does this happen to you every time?
No wonder they call me Fuckhead.
Its a name thats going to stick.
I realize that.
Fuckhead is gonna ride you to your grave.
I just said so, I agreed with you in advance I said.
