Georgette: "Look at the pickle jar... Wow. Nasty fleas on that rat... Good thing I decided to sterilize it. The vinegar and alcohol made them just drop off of it."
Jake: "They just keep... Moving. I mean, we didn't know there were any on them, but aren't they supposed to drown?"
Cal: "Doesn't work like that. Bathed my dog once and those bastards kept moving in the tub until I let them down the drain."
Georgette: "A lot of insects can survive for days, even weeks underwater, and some spend most of their life in it. Fleas are less tolerant than that, but yeah, they'll probably be in that jar for weeks before they stop twitching. I'd normally say we should just flush them, but we blocked the drains to keep more rats from coming up them."
Jana: "Well, we could flush them the next time one of us needs to use the toilet."
Alex: "Tell me you're kidding."
Jada: "Huh? No... What do you mean?"
Alex: "None of us have used it since we sealed it up."
Cal: "Francine even got Ron to understand that. I thought you did to. Have you been... Opening and resealing it?"
Jana: "Well..."
Georgette: "Jana, just... give me a moment guys, I'm going to have a talk with my friend, we're going on the balcony for a bit."
