Taboo
"I do."
Taboo
"Do you know she took you down to the river to drown you?"
Taboo
"Carried you across the foreshore. A tiny baby in her arms."
Taboo
"Innocent and sweet. She waded in."

"Held you under, until the bubbles stopped!"
Taboo
"She was deranged, James!"
Taboo
"That's why your father had her committed to Bedlam."

"To protect you."
Taboo
"To save your life, son. Desperate for your death!"

"Stops you sleeping, belches, farts, screams..."
Taboo
"and she's going to make this whole process louder and wilder,"
Taboo
"more insane, more impractical..."
Taboo
"and the only thing that will stop this entire enterprise"
Taboo
"from erupting in a giant explosion the size of Mauritius is this..."
