Pink: Non... it is not here. Socks, oui, dryers eat all ze time, but shirts?
Magma: It's all right. I'll get by.


Magma: Thanks for washing my clothes for me while I was tied up. And for letting me shower before I go.
Pink: Your smell much better and your hair is nicer now, yes?


Magma: Yeah. Was that your conditioner? The label wasn't in English, but whatever is in it, it made my hair much nicer.


Pink: It is ze 'Rarity'. Made 100% endangered species. It is illegal this country. Maybe you get Ash's genie to bring you some?
Magma: Ash has a genie?


Pink: You did not know? It was what kept Nightshade and ze british dogs from ze weapons and technology while ze lovers were away.


Magma: Lovers? Who are lovers?


Pink: Your cousin and Valentine.
Magma: They're not lovers, they're just friends.


Pink: Oh ho ho! She keeps ze girl around, takes her on cruises to private islands tres romantique, and here she sleeps in ze same bed as her little princess. Did you not know your cousin is a woman who prefers ze company of other women?
Magma: But she slept with Dr. Furter!
Pink: He is not 'man'. He is 'queen'.


Magma: Hmm... she did tell me she doesn't want to have any relationships with men...
Pink: You see? It is as I say. Perhaps you would like to stay a bit longer in ze company of a woman who prefers men?

 

 

 

Elsewhere:

Ash: ...so you'll sleep here in Nightshade's bed and Eric is bringing a sleeping bag to camp out on the floor.
Valentine: But what about you? Where will you sleep?
Ash: I won't sleep in Nightshade's lair. I'll keep watch over you two.


Valentine: But Ash, we'll be here for weeks!
Ash: Probably not. You'd be surprised how quickly a house can be rebuit if you have enough money. But I do need you to do one thing for me.
Valentine: What?

Ash: Get to know Nightshade's people. I have to take care of the rebuilding, and they won't talk to Eric because he went against them at the house. I want to make sure she isn't associating with really bad people.


Valentine: ...you're right. Nightshade is trouble, but she's usually not dangerous. I'll see what I can find out.
Ash: Thanks Valentine.


Commentary:
Pink's conditioning treatment was the explanation I used for Nightshade's hair getting fixed, and I'm using it to explain Magma's hair change too. And something that works miracles like that has to be made from SOMETHING incredibly rare and expensive, otherwise we'd all have a bottle in our bathrooms.

As for the rest, well, this is how rumors get started.
