• Jane in Heaven : [Set in Heaven]  And it is very unfair that the Great Plague of the 17th century is only attributed to rats and mice alone. Most of it was created by poor sanitary system. The population of rats and mice is growing and growing. There are many, many types. I know there have been many stories about rats and mice lately, growing and growing but, there you go... But there are many, many types...

  Second John : Come on Jane, stop smoking in my face!

  Jane in Heaven : Never happy! Small pause. Do you know how many rats and mice there are in the world?

  Second John : No, I don't know

  Jane in Heaven : I don't even know myself. There are the "House Rat" and the "House Mouse" that live in houses. There are the rats and mice that live in the boats. There is the "Air" rat and mouse that live on airplanes. There is the "Countryside" rat and mouse. There are the ones that live in sewers; the "Town Rats". And there are the ones that live underground... going in the Tube...

  Second John : Well, rats and mice. We cannot live without rats and mice...

  Jane in Heaven : Why is that?

  Second John : Because they carry diseases and we wouldn't be immune enough to resist them. It's a pretty good thing to have in your house.

  [laughing] 

  Second John : To have a mouse... I mean a mouse or a rat in our house, yeah!

  Jane in Heaven : I would recommend cats. I wouldn't recommend poison. I would recommend... Do you know what I would recommend? I would recommend a cat! A cat is all you need.

  Second John : Yeah. And get a few. Call the cat and hygiene your house! That's the best, however if you fancy them get one from the pet shop.

  Jane in Heaven : And the worth thing is the excrements. A soon as you find excrements... Clean everything in the house...
