Transcript:
Cobra: Jack Spade's voodoo spell had us frozen like a red lobster entree! Rip: I'm not buying that phony Cajun hoodoo! Shelly: How did you not get put under, Cobra? Rip: It's a good thing she wasn't - he told her to kill me! Cobra: I guess this juju blocker medallion you have me really works, doc. Shelly: Ugh! That's a spicy fajita! Doc: Shelly's contractions are getting worse! We've got to get out of here before rip faints again! Rip: I - that was totally a low-blood sugar thing!

Oh, Rip, everyone sees through your old “blood sugar” gag! Be a big brave boy and help Cobra birth Shelley’s baby now. Anyone got an extra amulet for Rip? :-)

I’d be happier to learn it was actually some form of nerve gas… I’m not buying the “Cajun hoodoo”, either! That stuff is satanic, and only affects others who dabble in such hoodoo or have otherwise submitted to the power that is its source. Rip’s too much of a red-blooded American to fall prey to that nonsense!

@Kydex29: Ah, but this is the Haywireverse, a world where vampires creep (sparkly and non), ghosties groan and ghoulies ply their trade. So movie-style hoodoo works just as advertised here. Also tough danger-seeking adventure heroes always save the day, lovely jewel thieves turn out to have hearts of gold, the good guys always win, and my checkbook balances. Expect no reality here.

Why do I get the feeling our good doctor wasn’t sure the medallion would work? Or maybe he just forgot that he gave it to her…?
