[Panel 1]
[Elizabeth]
Tea.

That's better.

[Bell]
Yes, well, sorry about
the delay. I forgot you
didn't know the drill.

[Nils]
The fuss she makes you'd
think I was stealing them or
something. They are MY mugs.

[Panel 2]
[Nils]
All it means is that they
need to be put under a hot
shower for ten minutes....

[Bell]
Or hosed down in the yard
if they've gone critical.

[Nils]
You always exaggerate. I haven't
ever had one go for the throat.

[Bell]
That's because I put them
into a bath of bleach whilst
they're in captivity.

[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
Oh, all those poor
little mycelia...

...but I don't
think I quite
understand.

How do you manage not to
notice thirty-seven coffee
mugs all round your room?

[Nils]
Genetic programming.

[Elizabeth]
They're genetically
programmed?

[Nils]
Oh, no, I meant MY
genetic programming.

[Bell]
He's got this theory...

[Panel 4]
[Nils]
It's perfectly scientific.
Goes back to the first
hunter-gatherer societies.

Men were hunters, so the
successful ones noticed
things moving. Women were
gatherers, so they noticed
things that DIDN'T move.

[Elizabeth]
So if we had mice you'd notice
them and I wouldn't?

[Bell]
We'd notice them when they stood
still, he'd only notice them when
they ran across his feet.

[Nils]
Hmph.
