"What does it taste like?" "Like nothing." "It has no flavour." "It's a very thin paste that is made without salt or yeast." "The wafer is not food for the body Linda, it's food for the soul." "I'm going to die." "I've got very fat veins... and someday the blood won't be able to pass through them." "Who told you that?" "Someone at the school."
