YUMIKO LA GRANGE;  What the fuck was that, anyway!?  Lorelei Grim is like a thousand fucking pounds!  She moves like a sloth!  How the fuck can you not duck that lariat!?

TOSHIYO NAKANO:  Please, Yumiko-san, I-I I try, but she just-

YLG:  Do not give me a fucking excuse!  DUCK! THE FUCKING! CLOTHESLINE!

UNCLE ABDUL:  For Christ’s sakes, Yumiko, just calm down!
