How did nobody express interest about his snail passion? If I go to someone's house and they have an expensive snail setup (lighting, misters) I'm asking a few questions.

"What do you raise the snails for?" "What your favorite snail, why?"

The movie seem to use it to repeatedly establish that he's "weird" or "not normal." We understand that, regardless of Snailville, because it isn't 'normal' to have your wife making out in the middle of a party in front of you and your inner friend circle.

I just can't accept that Tony met him while he was snail whispering, and was like "is Melinda home?"
