Hmm.... This could be Ronette speaking. It sounds to me like a female is 
warning another female to stay away. This would make sense if it was Ronette.
I suppose a man could have been saying it, but why would they be warning
Laura away (unless there was someone other than Leo and Jaques around)?

I couldn't tell if she was saying Leo or Leland either. I agree it's Leo,
but that's just from reasoning it out. It could have been either name, from
what I heard.
