They discuss what further subjects they may cover in the series mentioning Natural History. Ricky brings up his perennial Wittgenstein quote about not being able to understand a lion and asks what Karl thinks about it; Karl reckons he could understand a lion, as it is not that different, however he would have trouble understanding a worm. Ricky asks what animal would Karl be scared of if it could speak to him, Ricky suggests a crocodile and Karl retorts with an owl.
