Pictures from every aspect of her life, including intimate moments. She was stunned to be enschweined in this manner. Her personal privacy had been invaded and after the initial shock, her anger had exploded. "I thought you were my friend, Boarus, how could you stalk me this way?"

You are sow beautiful and sty-lish, my little sausage, with your porcinelain complexion and oinkredible smile...I'll be frank, I've always wanted to pork you! All your other boyfriends were hogging you." Keira walked to the apartment door, where 2 undercover pigs awaited her ham signal.

You are under arrest and you are going to the pen for a very loin time, where you will be bacon a lot of license plates!"
