Octopus

In their brief time together Slothrop forms the impression 

that this octopus is not in good mental health, 

though where's his basis for comparing?

This is a gift I got from Kirk and Jared.

I love it.

The octopus is attacking the ship and bringing it under the sea with it.  And that is how I feel about my relationships with other people. I just want to grab them and drown them!

Not really.  To be totally honest, I'd rather not touch most people.
