->"I couldn't possibly write ''[[Literature/Jaws]]'' today. We know so much more about sharks - and just as important, about our position as the single most careless, voracious, omnivorous destroyer of life on earth - that the notion of demonizing a fish strikes me as insane."

-> [[VengefulGhost Spirits who curse humans]] are pretty frightening. But humans are responsible for [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom creating spirits in the first place]]. The malicious actions of people cause grudges, and grudges create spirits. It's a [[ThePowerOfHate chain of hatred]], one that begins with humans.

->''"Who is the enemy of the platypuses? Or platypi? Or platypeople? Or… well, you know what I mean… The platypus is one of our greatest friends in nature; a humble but key component in Mother Nature's delicate cycle of life. But as of late, worldwide populations have been declining to near endangerment. But why? Who is the enemy of the platypuses? Or… well you know what I mean. Historically, the enemies of the platypus were well known: the poisonous swamp viper; the snaggletoothed badger; and duplicating imitable stunts seen on television. But there is a new enemy of the platypus. One whose tireless development paves over the platypus' woodland homes… the greatest enemy of the platypus… is '''man'''."''

'''Mariner''': Lieutenant junior grade's... log... nope, no, too weird. Uh, let's go with ''Mariner's log''. So yeah, of course, it was the humans in the menagerie that set the moopsy free. They'd seen how profitable they were as an attraction, so they wanted to kill Narj and keep the station for themselves. Humans. We really ''are'' the worst. So anyway, instead of bringing them to the ''Cerritos'', [[RefuseToRescueTheDisliked we left them in the menagerie]] until somebody else has time to pick them up.
