They ate eyeballs, they drank blood, they had sex with animals, but they did not pluck out each others' hearts, because obviously, that would have been weird.

Owen: If it's someone we've pissed off that narrows it down to 4 or 5 million.

Gwen: [getting out chisel] It's a shame your tool's not big enough for the job, darlin'. Catch!
