    • Panel 3: It means my speech is all funny-sounding.
    • Panel 4: Come again?
    • Panel 6: Can someone please get weepy transsexual off me?
  • In the second panel, Belkar hints to the readers that Haley's speech is in cryptogram, and not just random gibberish.
  • In the No Cure for the Paladin Blues book, in Panel 6, Haley instead says "Qos emdghmnu cigoeg bgy zggcu qvrqa mww mw dg?", which translates as "Can someone please get weepy chick off of me?"
