S—so, if you could, uh, stick your head in the toilet and, um, flush the toilet ''{holding back laughter}'', and then give us a call back and let us know if your toilet is all right. Okay, have a good day! ''{more stifled laughter}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What? Oh, i—it's the machine. Oh, well, hey... hey Marzipan, it's Strong Sad. And, uh, I was wondering if you... do you still have my CDs? 'Cause I think you still have 'em, and it's been three months and, um, I like those CDs and, uh... and I even got ya those same CDs for your birthday and you still have mine... So, i—if you could give 'em back or—I mean, I guess—you know, take your time... you don't have to give 'em back if—if—if you, um... you don't want to. Have a good day, bye.

We'll get you a ticket, and... we'll go in... or maybe I'll wait outside. Um, no, um, or maybe I'll go in. Um, but Pom Pom's got his cell, so give us a call on his cell phone if you get this message.
