Dude," said Hassan softly. "Khanzeer." {Arabic:Pig} "Matha, al-khanazeer la yatakalamoon araby?" Colin asked. {Arabic: What, pigs don't speak Arabic?"
"That's no pig," answered Hassan in Enlgish. "That's a goddamned monster." The pig stopped its rotting and looked up at them. "I mean. Wilbur is a fugging pig. Babe is a fugging pig. That thing was birthed from the loins of Iblis." {Arabic: Satan} It was clear now the pig could see them. Colin could see the black in its eyes.
"Stop cursing. The feral hog shows a remarkable understanding of human speech, especially profane speech," he mumbled, quoting from the book.
"That's a bunch of bullshit," Hassan said, and then the pig took two lumbering steps towards them, and Hassan said, "Okay. Or not. Fine. No cursing. Listen. Satan Pig. We're cool. We don't want to shoot you. The guns are for show, dude."
"Stand up so he knows we're bigger than he is," Colin said.
"Did you read that in the book?" Hassan asked as he stood.
"No, I read it in a book about grizzly bears."
"We're gonna get gored to death by a feral fugging hog and your best strategy is to pretend it's a grizzly bear?"
