"Johnny, what's 'water-based' stain?"

"Oh. Because I saw it in the store, and I put it back on the shelf because I figured, if I'd never heard of it before, then that meant you never used it. And if you never used it then there had to be a reason. And I thought that if I brought it home--"

"I'd killya?"

Yep.
