    KENTUCKY RED: Okay, I've had enough.
    KENTUCKY RED: No really, I'm putting my foot down.
    KENTUCKY RED: You kids who want to collect my feathers, fine. Go ahead.
    KENTUCKY RED: Just wait until they fall out first. It hurts if they're pulled out.
    KENTUCKY RED: Also, I'm getting tired of people stalking me in the showers.
    KENTUCKY RED: Thank you

    KENTUCKY RED: I'm guessing your biology grades aren't that great.
    KENTUCKY RED: And I wasn't worrying. Just because I happen to know which food group muffins belong in.
    KENTUCKY RED: ...what kind of muffins are we talking here?

    KENTUCKY RED: It means you don't act like someone who's suffered through high school.
    KENTUCKY RED: Castrate--. Okay. The only reason that isn't that weird to me is 'cause I'm a Cornhusker myself.
    KENTUCKY RED: I still probably wouldn't advertise that though.
    KENTUCKY RED: Wait, what did you do to Adam?

    KENTUCKY RED: High school was...an experience.
    KENTUCKY RED: I wouldn't want to repeat it.
    KENTUCKY RED: I wasn't saying to hide your roots - I was just saying that the average New Yorker gets a bit squeamish where castrating a bull and then eating what you cut off is concerned.
    KENTUCKY RED: Adam? Guy who lives next door to me?
    KENTUCKY RED: Mutant power lets him turn into a bear?

    KENTUCKY RED: Though I don't imagine that being a mutant helped.

    KENTUCKY RED: Funny? I'm pretty sure people have stopped keeping count of the number of people he's killed.
    KENTUCKY RED: I certainly wouldn't want to have been the one who destroyed his home. He's kinda private.
    KENTUCKY RED: ...bummer about your powers though. What are they?
    KENTUCKY RED: The wings ain't exactly subtle, but I've never destroyed anything with them.

    KENTUCKY RED: ...actually, that's pretty much what they do.
    KENTUCKY RED: But they do more than that as well.
    KENTUCKY RED: It's not all big, epic battles - they're really fighting for mutant rights as well. The Professor doesn't want any more muties lynched by ignorant humans.

    KENTUCKY RED: But seriously, kid, have you been loving under a rock this entire time?
    KENTUCKY RED: Maybe they accept mutants where you come from, but not everywhere else.
    KENTUCKY RED: Some people think we're inferior to normal people. Freaks. That we don't deserve the same rights as the rest of the population.
    KENTUCKY RED: And, it sucks, but those are still better than the ones that think the world would be a better place if we were all exterminated.
