Jessie: [on the phone] I'm calling for Trenton, New Jersey. Dr. Jack Penix! WITH AN X!
Jessie Bannister: How would you murder someone? If you have a question Los Angeles... then you should just ask someone else cause I swear to God I don't know anymore. What am I talking about? HOUSEGUESTS! Houseguests from hell! Ladies and Gentlemen you listen to me, no you get that snack later, you listen to me! Lock your doors! Don't answer the phone! If you have to leave the country then leave the country but don't let them in! They may look like your mother, your father, your sister, your friend, but they're not! They're slimy! They're cockroaches! If the world was to summer a nuclear holocaust the only surviving life form would be HOUSEGUESTS! AHHHHHHHH

Insulin is a hormone, produced by the pancreas, which is central to regulating carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body. Insulin causes cells in the liver, muscle, and fat tissue to take up glucose from the blood, storing it as glycogen inside these tissues.
Insulin stops the use of fat as an energy source by inhibiting the release of glucagon. With the exception of the metabolic disorder diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome, insulin is provided within the body in a constant proportion to remove excess glucose from the blood, which otherwise would be toxic. When blood glucose levels fall below a certain level, the body begins to use stored sugar as an energy source through glycogenolysis, which breaks down the glycogen stored in the liver and muscles into glucose, which can then be utilized as an energy source. As a central metabolic control mechanism, its status is also used as a control signal to other body systems (such as amino acid uptake by body cells). In addition, it has several other anabolic effects throughout the body.
Well I'm flat broke my whole life is a dream
well it's more like a nightmare you know what I mean?
If you got cash busting out of your seams
it's a new charity won't you send it to me?
Hey, if you wanted to stay well
I don't even care so please just go away
Cuz what you say is the type of disease
my organs twist up inside of me
You've bled me dry sucked the life out of me
I'm all fucked up I need something to eat
Well god damn, you'll get nothing from me
I've got neuropathy in my hands and my feet
cuz the blood flow has decided to cease
day after day when you wont talk to me
I've been checking my pulse running the needle deep
I'm down on my luck and I'm down on my knees
My sugars low I'm feeling sick
Don't you know that you turned me into a diabetic
Thanks for nothing
You know I'm down with you girl
but I'm feeling weak tonight
Won't you be my insulin
My sugars low I'm feeling sick
Don't you know that you turned me into a diabetic
You know I'm down with you girl
but I'm feeling weak tonight
We dissolve everything
Scratch follicles so they don't grow
Expose your shame for all to see
Sell your bones as ivory
Perfume in my blood
Nails grow through the glove
Bruise my embryo
Lay them down lay them down in rows
I sleep for you when you're exhausted
Your first born will be accosted
Fill their lungs with tar and sage
Make the stem cells act their age
Perfume in my blood
Nails grow through the glove
Bruise my embryo
