I _told_ you people not to jerk the trigger. I’m going to make use of the prison shop to build my own fully-automatic gas-powered sawblade launcher. A production line, actually. They’ll sell better than license plates. ---

Speaking of weapons, I can’t believe Scylla hasn’t already gone for the recruiting power inherent in the Silver Bullet. You get more recruits with beer than pie. ---

Well if that’s the way you’re going to be about it, **Scylla** , we’ll just go off and start our _own_ armed insurrection! And you can’t join! We were going to call it [_La Resistance_](http://www.southparkhell.co.uk/lyrics/lar.html), but now we’re calling it **No Scyllas**. So there! ---

Will there be any pillaging? Of all the forms of plundering - looting, sacking, or pillaging, I’m most looking forward to the pillaging. (psst… dibs on the comely lasses of virtue true. Oh yes, and the silver. ---

It’s a heavy burden I bear, but I’m up to the task. ---
