Oook.... no, ... Eeek!

Any regular readers of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels are familiar with "The Librarian." He's a guy who is the head librarian at the magical university's library, but was at some point turned into an orangutan in an unfortunate accident. Almost all of the time, when anyone asks him anything, all he ever says is, "oook." (People who work there, though, can somehow miraculously understand him.) The only exception is when he hears something seriously alarming, in which case, instead of "oook" he says, "Eeek!"

This one from Waveflux is a definite "Eeek!"
