I went down!DrSns : I don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!YW+D : Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!DrSns : Call my lawyer; I'm ready to sue!YW+D : Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!DrSns : Aaaaaaaaaa!Marita: Yessah, brother!Squit with the flute again, accidently jabs Pesto in the beak.Pesto : Hey!
