Okay, let's give your self preservation routine a real test. “Does this dress make me look fat?”
[!2.0]AAIIEEEE!
Screaming and running away. Not bad. I've met humans with far worse survival responses.

Part of being a successful captain is crew morale. Watch me make Florence happy with a simple compliment.
You look pretty good for a dog in a dress.
That's Helix's problem. No people skills. He's not smooth like I am.

Back up the truck. I'll shut the door once you're out.
[!3.4]SCREEECH!
That's right. You worked on this truck, didn't you?
It's still a bit sluggish, don't you think?

What did you do to this truck?
The super conductive motors and power torus had a lot of quench points. I took them out and cryo-treated them.
The rest was just minor work. Replacing seals, calibrating sensors, and fixing some problems in the optical communication harness.
It's fun to work on these old vehicles. You don't need a lot of specialized equipment like you do on the new ones.

The main power source for machines in this world, according to Mark Stanley – is a superconducting toroidal coil in which the energy of the magnetic field is stored. (KALDYH)

How does a superconductor work?
Oh, it's really simple.
Electrons are half integer spin particles. In a superconductor, you get a pair of electrons to act as a single particle with integer spin properties. This electron pair now operates by the Bose-Einstein statistical model instead of the Fermi-Dirac statistical model and is no longer affected by the exclusion principle.
I learned something new. Any time Florence says “It's really simple”, I'm not going to understand a word of it.

Particles with integer spin (bosons) are described by Bose-Einstein statistics, while those with fractional spin (fermions)  – Fermi-Dirac statistics. Also one of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, Pauli principle (exclusion principle) describes the behavior of fermions
Gadget didn't get that far :3 (Robot Spike)

You know, we don't have to go to the restaurant.
I am NOT eating road kill.
Wah!

Maybe we should try someplace else.
But Florence, it's CHEAP!

[!2.4]AAAAAAH!
[!1.3]Run! Run! If you value your life, leave now!
[!1.7]Abandon hope,
[!1.7]all ye who
[!1.7]enter here.
Don't worry, Florence. I've eaten in restaurants that were given far worse reviews.
[!2.4]AAAH!

From Italian: Lasciate ogni speranza voi ch'entrate = Abandon all hope, you who enter here. The inscription on the gates of Hell from the Divine Comedy (Hell, Canto 3) by the Italian medieval poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)

No, Daddy! Please! Not “The Golden Trough”!
I said you were going to be punished if you kept fighting with your sister.
Can you believe the hospital was just going to throw these organs away?

I want to go back for the possum we road killed.
Too late. I've already paid.

You just don't get this whole buffet thing, do you?
Food quality doesn't matter. If you make something cheap enough, people will eat it.
I see they're all out of shredded cardboard and gravy.
Yeah. That stuff always goes fast.
