If we keep him for ourselves, we can do anything we want with him!''OH, REALLY?! Does that include baking him in a quiche?!''NO, IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THAT! IT INCLUDES EATING HIM RAW!''That's too bad. He would've made a fine pastry filling.
The dialogue from Jeff Smith's "Bone, Vol. 2: The Great Cow Race" humorously illustrates a playful discussion among characters about their unexpected culinary options. One character suggests they could keep someone for themselves, implying they could do anything with him. Another chimes in with the outrageous idea of baking him in a quiche, only to be met with a firm denial that this option is acceptable.
The exchange highlights the absurdity of the situation, as one character admits that they could eat him raw instead, which still maintains a comical tone. The banter about using him as a pastry filling adds a layer of humor, showcasing the characters' whimsical yet morbid sense of humor in a fictional context.
