Stanford Pines has been through a lot in his long life. There are things that might frighten some people that he can laugh at because he's already survived them once, long enough ago that the memory has lost its bite. But this wound is a new wound, one only a little over a year old, and for just a second there he was back in the Fearamid dangling fifty feet above the ground while Bill sent shocks through him intense enough to singe his hair, What do you think, pals? Another 500 volts?, and his breathing's gone very ragged and his hands aren't nearly as steady as he'd like. He should be more in control of himself than this, and it frustrates him that he's not.]
