That's just plain old "I wanna get laid" with a layer of kink on top
though[*1]; it's not really in the same "What the?" league as "You
wanna be saved?  Okay, I'll turn you into a tree."  I've gotta at
least suspect that there was a "Maybe next time they'll bother
somebody *else*" muttered under his breath.

 *1: Plus your basic divine "Because I can," of course.
