Schlock: PX guy wanted proof I needed all that food. Went on a binge then an' there. Legs: That's never made you sick before. How much did you eat? Schlock: Four bottles. Legs: That's not very Schlock: ...of concentrated solvent. Legs: Perhaps you need to be a little more discriminating when you binge.
Schlock: I'm an amorph. Dinner isn't coming back up unless it can fight its way back up. Smutto is just corn and soy, it'll stay down. Ebbirnoth: It's not just corn and soy. It's also a bacteria colony fighting off a fungal infection. Smutto is a little of germ warfare disguised as a side dish. Schlock: Okay, sure. But the last time I had to spit something out it was an infection of nanobots. The Smutto I dropped down the hole is way out of its league. Ebbirnoth: You can eat anything, then? Schlock: Amorphs are weird that way.
Bunny: Sergeant, did you just drink medicine out of a bottle you found on the ground? Schlock: Yes. Bunny: I...I... (beat) Bunny: Okay, I guess I can't see how that could possibly be more dangerous than swallowing two armed men whole. As you were. Schlock: And you humans call yourselves omnivores.
Schlock: I thought all of us were omnivores. Murtaugh: We are, but that just means we can eat lots of different kinds of organic material. We can't eat everything. Schlock: I can. What's that make me? Ebbirnoth: We need a word that means "omnivorous like a forest fire." Schlock: When you find that word, I will eat it.
Ebbirnoth: Whoa, it's definitely not safe to eat. Forget metal toxicity. I've found what's laying down the metals. Ebbirnoth: Some of the tissues host free-ranging cells that are more like industrial nanobots. These "metallocites" would tear us up inside. Schlock: That's the fizzy taste. They're trying to electroplate me from the inside! Murtaugh: Aren't you listening? Why are you still eating that? Schlock: Food that fights back builds the character. Also, I like the fizz.
