[ having seen Sam's little drone thing and, presumably, having seen Claptrap wheeling around camp before are the only reasons he doesn't question the robot talking to him right now. An alien fish-man gave him some kind of pickled locust to eat earlier. Things are weird here. Bizarre, even.

It's an old legend where I'm from. The Trojans were a people fighting a war; they arrived at the enemy's city offering peace, and brought a big wooden horse as a gift in proof. But once the horse was within the walls, it opened up, and released dozens of Trojan warriors who slaughtered their unsuspecting foes. [ he tells this story very matter-of-factly. ] What I'm saying is that we don't know what's inside that shell or what their intentions are.
