- I don't often slug a lady, but you gave me the cue.
- I shouldn't have expected any better. If you only had kept out of this. You've messed up everything.
- Yeah, I'm ashamed of myself.
- Hey! Them weenies are tagging us.
- Right.
- Stall them as long as you can.
- Say, what are you trying to do, break your neck?
- I suppose you're sorry I didn't.
- If you try that again, then maybe I'll do it for you. Come on. Get on your feet.
- What are you standing here for?
- Oh, we'll never find them. They are gone.
