Roger: What are you doing with all this paint?
Girii: And Beer? I thought you couldn't get drunk.
Jacob: You never know...maybe I like the taste of... Uraguayan... 'Yerba Duro'? Is this even beer?
Girii: You said aluminum cans.
Jacob: Yeah, I did. Aluminum plus Iron Oxide from the paint makes thermite. Got to be prepared.
Roger: Wait -- thermite? Is G.U.S. going to bomb these slums, or are you going to blow them up?
Jacob: First one, then the other, probably. Make sure you get it all on camera.
Roger: Of course I will. I get...everything.

Oh, and for reference, ‘Yerba Duro’ is meant to translate to ‘Hard Yerba’ — an alcoholic brew of Yerba Mate Tea. I only mention this because Pope Francis’ love of yerba is in the news *today*.
I love it when real life and comic stories align…as long as they don’t get too close to each other.
