Damndest thing, isn't it?
Cherry
What are you talking about?
Lorne
See, no one gets poked more than the porcupine himself. So, scientists say after ages of slipping on ice and landing on our backs, the quills got medicated so they wouldn't infect us.
Cherry
Why are you telling me this?
Lorne
Because I think they're wrong. It wasn't to protect the porcupine. Infection just kills the tissue. But, see, a quill keeps the nerves alive. Makes the other guy feel every little hook digging deeper and deeper and deeper.
Lorne
Nothing yet. But I am about to be your clearest, most life-changing memory.
Lorne
Little birdies don't ask questions.

Wait. Wait, wait, I don't understand. What am I supposed to tell you? What do you think I know? What do you want?
Lorne
Me? Nothing. Ostrich? Much.
Lorne
You don't listen very well.
