Ah, [Aziraphale says, in the exact tone of someone who says "ah" and means "you're being just a little bit ridiculous, and I love you anyway" and who has been around his ridiculous, wriggling serpent long enough to leave it at that. Ah.]

There have been some plants that have unfortunately expired, yes, alright. I— could keep a plant if I wanted to. [No, he couldn't; he'd get absorbed in new books and old books and going out for a quick bite and suddenly a month's passed and he has to miracle life back into his poor fern but he still knows, deep down, that he forgot all about it yet again. He could keep a plastic plant, maybe.]

If you're going to threaten the garden, I'm going to pick the drapes.
