Leber's congenital amaurosis. Do you know if there's any treatment for it?
What does that have to do with anything?
You do realize that there is a one in 80,000 percent chance any child is born with that. In the event that there are there's experimental gene replacement therapy which has had recorded cases of positive results.
And pirates are in so you can't go wrong with eye patches.

Why is there a road when you can't go anywhere?
You asked a random placed question, why can't I?
There's a twenty-five percent chance of it happening if both parents are carriers.
[A pause. A very heavy pause.]
Which they are in this case.

My question was not randomly placed. I just arrived here. It seemed prudent to inquire as to how that is at all possible. You can hardly expect me to believe it's all just... magic.

I don't. I don't believe it's magic. Magic is what you say when you can't explain it and don't have the ability to see all of the logic hidden. Believe whatever you want.
Where is your logic, then, Doctor House?
That means if you were capable of having a litter one of four Angebabies would have Leber's congenital amurosis. Chances are the procedure will be more effective by the time your water breaks.
Eat more carrots.

The truth is I don't now. It's logical to admit it and be open to hypothetics as they come.
I'm due in a week and a half. I hope those scientists and the FDA work weekends.
Shut up.
Shut up.
How long have you been stuck at your stop sign?
[Please note that 'stop sign' is said with all the unfamiliarity of someone who has never actually seen a stop sign. Let's not even touch the deer crossing one in the background.]

There are stranger things. You should know that.
You've got two more questions, Preggo.

Years. I'm not there on the road. People shouldn't live in roads.

I'll save those two for the other doctors in case of emergency evacuations of my uterus.
[Is this a road for deer? What is going on? :(]
I do realize that you aren't actually on the road, thank you.

Right. Then I would like to speak with those who claim to be in charge of this place. You can't possibly tell me that it's lacking in that as well as a way out. Even pirate ships have captains.
I wanted to clear that up from the get go.
Yeah. You might want to rethink that part about an exit. You could say that this chamber has no windows or no doors.

I hope you don't force your beliefs on your foundling nation.
You mean telling them that life is to be lived and to not be an jerk like you? Of course I am.
A little negotiation might be the only thing needed to locate a window or a door.
There have been women to negotiate the way women can. You're prettier than average. Have at it.
