Todd: I thought we would talk about insects. So, I warned you when you guys came over to this place that my apartment has cockroaches 1, spiders, and centipedes.


Katia: Centipedes. It's my only problem.


Todd: Really! Centipedes. Why? Because they look scary?


Katia: No, I just... all the hundred legs that they have. It's a little bit scary. Snakes are OK. Spiders is OK.


Todd: Oh, really, you don't mind snakes?


Katia: Mm-hm.


Todd: See I think snakes are much freakier.


Fred: Yeah, I think snakes can be pretty freaky as well, but I think centipedes are scary because of the fact that if they bite you, then it becomes dangerous.


Katia: And you never know where they are, and they're small. You don't know where is the front, where is the back, and all the legs "sch-sch-sch-sch".


Todd: I know. I know. Yeah, there're kind of... actually, I have to hang my clothes on a hanger 2 because it's... If I hang them on a hanger, the light goes through the clothes, and I can see if they're in there or not.


Katia: Ooh!


Todd: Well, because this place is by the woods so, yeah, there's more I think.


Fred: OK, cockroaches. I used to be really afraid of cockroaches. I thought they were the most disgusting little insects, but living here, they're just everywhere, that you kind of get used to them and sure, no problem anymore. I don't feel so uncomfortable around them.


Todd: Wow!


Katia: Nature is smart. There's always a reason why cockroaches exist, why spiders exist.


Todd: That's true.


Fred: Oh, thats a good point. Spiders in your house will take care of the cockroaches, but the cockroaches will take care of the smaller spiders, or the smaller little pieces of food that might be on your floor or little things.


Katia: There you go.


Fred: It's the chain. It's the food chain.


Todd: So you're saying you don't have to vacuum 3 basically 4.


Katia: No, you just...


Todd: Cockroaches take care of it for you.


Fred: Is that what I'm saying?
