What are these guys? He whisperedCanadians, Percy said. Frank leaned away from him. Excuse me?Uh, no offense, Percy said. That's what Annabeth called them when I fought them before. She said they live in the north, in Canada.Yeah, well, Frank grumbled, we're in Canada. I'm Canadian. But I've never seen those things before.

In the scene from "The Son of Neptune" by Rick Riordan, a character expresses confusion about a group of beings they encounter, prompting a whisper of surprise. Percy informs him that they are referred to as Canadians, a term used by Annabeth when he previously fought them. This response reflects the lighthearted banter typical among the characters as they navigate their unusual circumstances.

Frank, seemingly offended, emphasizes his own Canadian identity while expressing that he has never encountered such beings before. This interaction highlights the blend of humor and cultural reference in the dialogue, illustrating how the characters grapple with their situations while also poking fun at the unfamiliarity of their environment.

No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
