But we can defend ourselves! [Even though tears are threatening to spill down her cheeks and she wants to let them, her voice is firm when she says this.]

What about the gnomes? Or the lake monster? What about those wax statues? What about that awful shapeshifter? What about those dumb golf balls? What about Gideon? What about Bill?!

[Rubbing at her eyes, she sniffles a little.]

We can defend ourselves just fine. You can defend yourself. You're so smart Dipper and it's always you protecting me in the end...so...so don't say we're defenseless!
