Little Blaine nods as he's helped up, looking a bit confused about the whole falling down thing. "Yes. I'm okay. I'm not used to being in this shape yet. And I don't change like you do."
"Someone did," Quint said, with a headshake. "And they knew what was in it first, too. We had a hard time after that convincing him that even if some people would eat bugs Dr. Wily would not want to." He shakes his head no at the mention of tequila. "Actually, tequila doesn't have the worm. Tequila is a type of mezcal, which is a liquor made from agave, and the worm is a kind of larva that lives on the plant. Mezcal can be made from any kind of agave, but tequila is only made with blue agave. Lower grade mezcal has the worm so that you can tell it apart from the tequila. So if anyone ever tries to give you 'tequila' with a worm in it, they're trying to rip you off." He rubs the back of his head and looks a bit sheepish at knowing so much about liquor. "Dr. Wily preferred a good scotch, but, well... we all had to know which were the right bottles for what he wanted or he'd get angry."
