Karl:You can know too much, where it gets you down.
Ricky:Go on.
Karl:I just was reading something about an octopus, that's like a killer octopus. And it annoyed me that this was knocking about now. Because I didn't know, I thought they were quite friendly. Whenever you see them in cartoons and that, they're always happy, aren't they, and then suddenly they've brought the whole sort of creature down. Do you know what I mean?
Ricky:No, what do you mean?
Karl:Just whenever you see them in films they're always running about and that and everybody likes an octopus. But this one - it was your fault, really, because you told me about the frog that's going about killing people.
Ricky:No, I didn't say that.
Karl:So I looked it up on the internet, at like, other creatures and stuff -
Ricky:Dot com -
Karl:And there's some octopus that's in the sea, and what it does, you don't even have to, like, threaten it. It just spits in the water, and if that stuff gets on you, it does you in. So in a way, it's good knowledge because, I mean, I don't go in the sea because it's full of stuff like that, but that's just reassured me that I'm doing the right thing. If they're knocking about just gozzing everywhere, you don't even have to be near one, you don't even know if it's been spitting and stuff, it can kill you. It just seems unfair. I haven't harmed it, I haven't gone near it, why is it getting annoyed with me? Doesn't seem right. So that's where knowledge has not helped that octopus out, because now, when you eat them, I just think "Yeahhh, have another one." Do you know what I mean? Get rid of 'em.
