    "You know, 'Curiosity killed the cat.' And I have enough curiosity to start a feline genocide."
    "Feline genocide?"
    "Yeah. If you don't explain Apollo, the cat kingdom will crumble. Cats all over the world will suddenly plop down in unmoving masses of fur, their food will dry up in smelly chunks of fish, and when people call, 'Here, kitty kitty kitty,' no cats will come running; they'll just-" Walter suddenly stopped.
