"...Give your wife a break and stop singing in the shower."
"Why?"
"Because you can't carry a tune in a basket." [p200]
"Russel has a malignancy in his colon."
"What? How do you know that?"
"I can smell it on his breath." [p200 - In real life dogs can be trained to smell out some cancers from tissue/fluid samples of humans quite accurately]
Chuck gave him (prot) a copy of Gulliver's Travels, which he had lifted from the bookshelves in the quiet room. I recalled prot's telling me that the (Earth) story he liked best was "The Emporer's New Clothes." His favorite movies, incedentally, were The Day the Earth Stood Still, 2001, ET, Starman, and, of course, Bambi. [p209]
His last four words were somewhat more encouraging, however. They were: Oho minny klup kelsur - "They are yet children." [p215]
