Baz-El, Julie Yamamoto and others in “Pier Pressure”

Yes, well as I was saying, before I lost consciousness I exuded this symbiote. The one you call 'Ship' — thank you — and sent it off to find the nearest Plumber.

Because your sink is clogged?

No, the Plumbers are intergalactic police officers. (Julie gives him a weird look) ...I'll explain later. And that's why it came after me.

Well, of course. Didn't you receive its distress signal?

You mean...the beeping?

...Yes, that beeping. (narrows eye) Don't you know how that works?!

Not so much, no.

Really. Aren't you a Plumber?

I thought you were.

(muttering) I'm going to spend the rest of my life here. (exasperated) Look is there anyone else I can talk with?!

Not really.

That's why Ship tried to get your attention.

Get my attention? He wrecked the pier, he kidnapped you.
