GADDARN. Do you know what I do to telltales? I cut out their tongues and nail them to their bedposts as a reminder of what they shouldn’t have done. I’d hate to do that to you – seeing as how your tongue is so pink. Now get out there and serve. And smile, Toby Gaddarn.

You never say no, and you never, ever tell a soul about anything you see in this house. Is that understood?

GADDARN. People like your smile. They like your pink tongue. They like how black your skin is from your head to your toes.
