215: Two Who? [ft. Jonathan Braylock]

It is a period of civil war.

The rebellion against the sinister and corrupt Federated alliance grows stronger, and the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance.

Now, rebel emissary Pleck Dexeta and his intrepid crew travel the farthest reaches of the galaxy to explore astounding new worlds, discover their heroic destinies, and meet weird bug creatures and stuff.

This

is mission to zinc.

Hey, Bargie.

Yeah.

I haven't seen your boyfriend around in a while.

How's he doing?

Oh, we broke up.

What?

Why?

Honestly, we just didn't have that much in common.

All they did was deliver shrimps, and I am a former international hollow star with a long list.

You're sort of dating down a little bit on that one, Bargie.

I gotta say, I think you could do better.

Also, mainly it was he smelled like shrimp.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That makes sense.

Anyway, so say single ready to bingle.

Boop bad doop.

I'll make up a new ship dar profile.

Sure.

Okay.

Yeah, well, best of luck out there, you know?

Whatever.

Nermit,

you feeling okay, buddy?

Yeah, what do you why wouldn't.

You're just looking out the window so wistfully this whole time.

Uh

enui.

Yeah, Bino and I were just looking out the window, and

it was weird to realize that Dar and I like didn't, when it came down to it, it's like we're

we seem so similar, right?

You ship, you both ship, ship, shit, always work.

And like, then you try to, you just like realize you're actually very different.

One of them gives a little shrimp and the other one doesn't, yeah.

Yeah, which one is the shrimp deliverer?

And you're in Darling.

Yeah.

Nermart's definitely the shrimp.

Whoa, wow.

Nermart.

I'm sorry I've been ejecting so much.

Nermart was the closest he's definitely ever got.

Sorry, I take that back.

Let me do it again.

Narcenistic.

That's more on target for

where we've normally been.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, I think I'm probably in the DAR.

In terms of me and Dar,

I'd say I'm the shrimp delivery guy to Dar's Bargy.

So are we all in here talking about me?

We're not all talking about you.

C-53, I take it you're not talking about me.

Well, to be honest, I was talking.

I was wondering who is the shrimp delivery guy in your relationship with Merman.

Did someone say shrimp?

What?

Huh?

Huh.

Who are you?

Hello.

What?

My name is Two.

Does the word shrimp conjure you?

What is going on?

No, I just thought it would be a great entry.

If we say shrimp three more times, does that send you away?

No, Dar, I don't think it.

I don't think it actually.

I think it's just a.

Yeah, I don't think it has anything to do with shrimp.

Ms.

Tellurian is right.

It had nothing to do with shrimp.

That was just like your way of entering.

That's right.

If you had shut up with me, like holding a big shrimp.

Yeah, who is this?

Oh, we're sorry, Bargie.

I'm just speaking up memories.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

I really want to address this.

It's captivated this entire crew, and

you're right.

I should have come with some shrimp cocktails.

How about this?

Oh,

okay, sure.

No, listen, listen.

Wait, wait, not just me.

Okay, now we're going to go.

Oh, we're all

going to be able to do that.

This is very nice.

fine.

That's mean to make Bargie have that giant platter of shrimp.

Can I just say that

you all are taking this very, very well?

Well, we sort of got off on the shrimp thing and then it kind of stopped being.

I think the initial surprise of you appearing on the bridge of the ship wasn't as shocking as me saying.

Yeah, but did someone say shrimp?

I mean, it implies that you're here for some screw shrimp.

So I think we were just trying to figure out that more than we were surprised.

I mean, it's fine.

I mean, when you mentioned it again, I was like, Yeah, I do not know how he appeared on this spray.

That should have been equally as mysterious as a shrimp fine.

Yeah, now I'm noticing your cloak, and that it's you are a very mysterious being.

Yeah.

I'm here for a purpose.

Oh,

okay.

Oh, our shrimp is gone.

That's right.

You

shall be tested today.

Uh

shrimp tested.

No, I don't think

they definitely move past the shrimp.

I just want everyone to know

the shrimp thing

was a non-sequitur.

Sure, sure, sure.

Yeah, I think that's it.

We ascribe too much value to it.

Okay.

And just for the record, you should know that we talk about shrimp way less.

I'm just saying, it's not representative.

It's an atypical day.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

We don't love talking

That's actually not true.

Whoa.

Oh, geez.

Okay.

And the purpose of today's visit for me, too,

is not to talk about shrimp.

Failed so far.

Now,

do you know who I am?

No, I had no idea.

No, we don't.

I am a being beyond your comprehension.

Uh,

Yeah, okay.

I am a being that is here to test your metal.

Oh, I don't know.

I'm feeling pretty tested right now.

Oh, good.

We don't need this ship, right?

Oh.

Oh, I'm...

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hold on one second.

What?

Oh,

I was on.

Was that the test?

No, that wasn't a test.

We can't be in in the face of the face.

My eyes.

The tears in my eyes were boiling.

But also freezing.

Simultaneously.

Okay, listen.

This is a lot.

Yeah.

Yeah, two.

This is a lot.

Let's take it a little slower, if we can.

Maybe a place that relaxes the mind.

How about that?

Oh.

Yes.

Would you like a small pear?

What?

A small pear?

Yes, I transformed your ship into a circle a steel circle that hands out food.

My name is Bargerian Pear.

Two, can you just please tell me what's going on?

I feel like

I don't know what kind of test this is supposed to be, but I'm kind of getting scared.

All right, here we go.

I am a part of a collective known as the Singularity.

Oh,

we exist in every corner of the universe.

Our purpose is simply simply to observe and test living organisms to make sure they're worthy of being a part of this great and wonderful circle that we call life.

Can I be a ship again?

This is-I really don't like this.

Oh, sure.

Wow.

Archie looks great as a circle, to be perfectly honest.

I was freaking out.

You were an exceptional circle.

I was freaking out.

Perfect circle.

It was amazing.

My pear's gone.

Gun do out like pal.

End of message.

Two, what?

What is your purpose here on this ship?

I need to determine whether or not the Tellurian race should exist in the galaxy.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

Easy.

Yes.

No.

Oh.

Sorry.

Bargie.

Are you not the captain of this ship?

What, captain?

I don't know.

I'm the emissary.

He's absolutely not the captain.

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have acted like that was partially true because it's actually not true at all.

I just am.

I'm an emissary.

We're rebel emissaries.

Bargie kind of flies herself, so captain is not really the.

Don't you start most of the conversations?

Yeah, I guess so.

you want to put it that way, I mean,

that's factually accurate.

I mean, listen to this.

Hey, Bargie.

Hey, Dar.

Hey, Nermit.

Hey, C53.

Hey, Darn.

Uh, hey, Bargie.

Hey, C53.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Bargie.

Nermit.

Hey.

Hey, Darn.

Hey, C53.

Hey, Dar.

Okay, yes, I start a lot of conversation.

I mean, I'm a curious, inquisitive person.

From my vantage point, the person who starts the most conversations is a captain of sorts.

Oh, okay, great.

Yeah, well,

congratulations to me, I guess then, right?

So now, the responsibility of the Tellurian race rests on your shoulders.

Oh,

yeah,

okay, wow.

So he trapped you, Bleck.

He trapped you in the middle of the morning.

That's a really good conversation starter.

Well, you know, oh boy, you boy normat.

However, I will grant you

the help of your trusty crew.

Uh great, yes.

I mean, yeah, we're best friends, most of us.

So that sometimes lovers, not me.

I mean, just that it's a part of the history.

Which one of the crew were you?

He doesn't need to know that.

Well, it's important.

Bino want to know what the test is.

Bino want to move things along.

Your first test, should you choose to accept it.

Oh.

Oh, we have a choice.

Do I have a choice?

Yes, every crew member has a choice.

Okay, okay.

Hypothetically, if we decline the test, what happens?

The entire Tellurian race will be decimated.

Okay, yeah, let's definitely not.

Yeah, let's not.

Think hard before instantly declining it, okay?

Just think about it.

Your first test, should you choose to accept it,

will be here.

Yes, you two are alone.

Oh, uh, yeah.

Is this a box?

Are we in a box?

Yes, this is a box of wood.

Okay.

Yeah.

You have to find a way out.

And if you don't,

one of your crew members will perish.

Wait.

Wait.

One of my crew members.

Okay, so there's a one in three chance it's Bino.

Do you not consider your ship a crew member?

I thought you guys were.

So we have to.

Did I mince my words?

Well, my confusion is which of the crew members is if.

I feel like Hazel caught up on this which crew member is gonna die.

I'm just saying if I just assumed you would be equally in love with all of your crew members, I'm saying if there's any chance it's Bino, I'm gonna try a little less hard.

But it's a wooden box, is it not?

Can I not just punch through this wooden box?

Well, all I know is that you guys still haven't gotten out of the box.

I actually thought this was one of the easiest parts of the test, and now it's proving that this test was

worth it.

Oh, yeah.

Seems we're in some sort of storage area.

If we get out of the box, then what?

Do we just keep going or?

Wow.

Wow.

I instructed you with one task.

You still have not exited the box.

Proving it once again that this test was worth it.

Well, this test is sort of a bleak area.

Yeah, too.

We're just not really sure where the parameters are.

Sorry.

Is this test not good enough, boy?

Okay, all right.

Okay, oh, no, no, no, no.

I don't know anything about tests, do I, huh?

Okay, look, I'm outside of the box.

I thought it was some sort of trick.

I'm pretty sure this is the lower cargo hold of Bargie, right?

Yeah.

Hey, Bargie?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, no, we're still on the ship.

Well, you passed the test.

I mean, I'll see you guys later.

Wait, that was the whole test?

I thought we did a good job at that test.

Sort of seems kinda easy, right?

You know, you feel like with a demi-rod like this, they're trying to trick you.

That there'd be some sort of irony involved here.

Yeah, but turns out.

Sorry to interrupt, but I just want to let you two know that the door to this area has disappeared.

Oh,

so you're stuck.

Now to find a way out of the lower cargo hold.

Yep.

Okay.

Now, okay, now the irony.

I get it.

Now, I get it.

Yep.

But how do we get out of the cargo hold without hurting Bargie?

Let's introduce some more players to this game.

Listen, I get it.

We agreed.

We're in the won't they phase of their will they won't they phase?

I was not flirting with him.

You absolutely wasn't.

I recognized the sparkle in his eye too, and frankly, I would have been attracted to it, but then you were attracted to it, so I was not going to be attracted to it.

I'm the only one who flexes.

You guys, hang on one sec.

I am allowed to talk to anybody who wants to be.

Of course, you are.

We're both allowed to talk to whoever we want to talk to.

You make everything about you.

I

make everything about you.

I wrote in your flap once.

C53, I think we

should.

we gotta get out of here.

Yeah, this is this becoming.

Two has removed the door for some reason to the cargo hold.

We need to get out.

That means we could just go through if there's no door.

What do you think of the fact that Two chose a form where he's not wearing a shirt?

I mean, to see if he's a little bit more than a little confusing.

He just doesn't know.

Yeah, he sort of

manifested the muscles.

He does have a fantastic upper body.

It seems like Two doesn't necessarily need a physical form and therefore wouldn't need clothing.

So that would be active.

I'm defending two.

I'm not.

He's clearly some sort of trickster rod who's come in and decided to mess up our life.

Hey, oh.

Oh, sorry, am I interrupting someone?

No, no, no.

Did your hair get longer?

Do you like it?

Yes.

Extremely luxurious.

Thank you.

I'm getting used to this form, I must say.

It's quite fun.

Yeah, you know, it's two legs, turns out.

You like legs and arms?

Yeah, yeah, I like them.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Go!

My My arms and legs!

Oh!

Oh, am I gonna get out of the room now?

Oh, oh, no.

Oh, Cleck, you're barely taller than me.

You know who has arms and legs?

Cleck.

Not any of these.

But this guy.

He didn't have arms and legs.

Oh, no.

Whoa.

It's so grotesque.

Oh, no.

It's so grotesque.

Wait, the test is with my arms and legs.

You don't have big arms and legs now.

As you see, I have this very tall refrigerator, and on top of this tall refrigerator is a jar of cookies.

Each a cookie.

Wait, are we still trying to get out of the room?

No, this is a new test.

No, we didn't get out of the room.

Yeah, but you guys weren't like doing that one.

It was like really boring.

I wanted to cry.

No, you were talking a lot.

You have no action.

Seriously.

Well, to be fair.

We do have action.

Look at Telegraph.

Oh, what a beautiful dance.

It's so disgusting to see Tellurian-sized arms and legs attached to a torso that is the size of a bean.

It's deeply wrong.

So.

Alright, fine, fine.

We don't have any arms or legs, but we have to get on top of this refrigerator to eat a cookie.

That's right.

Alright, no problem.

I'll just drag myself with my head.

Taking

longer than I'd like, but I'm making progress.

We don't love cookies.

No, no, no.

Just give us one.

You find cookies?

Yeah.

One cookie.

Each of us needs to eat a cookie.

Yeah.

Beano.

Have they treated you right?

Beano, we tuck you in every single night.

Perhaps you'd like to look at this playback.

This is bad.

That's really not good.

Yes.

I feel like I'm really caught up on this which crew member is going to die.

I'm just saying if I just assumed you would be equally in love with all of your crew members, I'm saying if there's any chance it's Bino, I'm gonna try a little less hard.

Yeah, we don't come off grain in that cliff.

Beetle,

Bino, sad.

Oh no,

come on.

Wow.

Beato, break arm.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, that's my arm.

No.

So, Bino, did that hurt you?

Bino no hurt!

No, that actually

don't.

Wow!

He keeps opening and shutting the refrigerator door on it.

Bino, look at me.

Bino, we admit it.

We've been disrespectful, and it's because you can be abrasive, but this is your chance to join the team for real.

You can help us and therefore be respected.

And we'll tell you- we'll tell you.

Be no now.

Be no now.

Be no, no?

Be no break other arms.

Let's reset.

Oh, please unbreak my arms.

Please unbreak my arms.

You don't like them like that?

No, it's so painful.

Oh, really?

Oh, all right.

You have four legs.

Oh, no.

Is that better?

I mean, slightly.

what about now?

No!

What are you here of shrink?

Oh come on!

Okay.

All those powers aren't.

Wait, did you just do that as like a throwaway thing?

Because that was horrifying.

Very good.

Beano thought this test was...

Okay.

Oh,

okay, Bino.

Yeah.

Beano normally loves stuff, so that's actually kind of a harsh review.

Huh.

Yeah.

Hey, too, can I ask, like, how many of these tests have you given to different species?

What makes you ask that question?

Why would you ask that?

I don't know.

I just feel like I can't really tell what these tests are supposed to be doing exactly.

Like,

it's almost like you don't really know anything about Telluriant.

Or how to test things.

Are you the one being tested?

Interesting.

Yo, buddy, what's your deal?

Interesting.

Bino wants to know the final test.

Yes, of course.

Okay.

Bino, why are you so interested in these tests?

Okay, all right, all right.

Yes, don't I know it?

Hmm?

Don't you know him?

I'm sorry.

Do you not know him?

I need to find

a Tellurian that actually

cares about

fellow man.

You might be on the wrong shoe.

No, no, no, no.

Hold on, hold on, C53.

You're looking for a Tellurian who cares?

Yes, I just...

I need to find a Tellurian who

cares about other creatures so that, you know, we don't have to wipe the species from the face of existence.

Okay, well, yeah, I mean, I would say that that's pretty much like a Tellurian's whole thing.

We're very emotional, care a lot, maybe too much sometimes.

Empathetic to a fault.

Empathetic to a fault.

I can say, despite the regularity with which Pleck messes up social situations, offends almost everyone he meets, and drags people into morass, he really means well.

I'm just not intelligent enough to succeed at doing well.

So you

care about all of these crew members that you have?

Yeah.

Oh, deeply.

And I would say that I care way more than I am capable of succeeding at pretty much anything.

Hmm.

Well, in that case, uh

I guess

I guess just one more test will do.

And you really couldn't find like another Tellurian.

Get down on the brown.

Yeah, okay.

I'm Clint 9214.

Though you probably recognize me as the drummer from the band the Clints.

Yeah, well, I sit in the back, though, I'm pretty much the front man.

Anyway, I'm here to tell you that if I demand that you get down on the ground and show me your fake, you better one, get down on the ground and then two, show me your fake.

I will accept no other identification.

The only exception being a high-quality business card from Vistaprint.

That's right.

When we started the Clints at Clintillion three cycles ago, we wanted to be ready for any gig that came our way.

That's why we all ordered cards from Vistaprint to make that professional impression right in the moment.

Because your next opportunity is coming right now.

And all it takes to feel like you're ready to own the now

is

$10.

Not sure what that is in Kroon, but it's low.

Just upload your design or start with one of Vistaprint's beautiful, professionally designed options.

Pick the paper stock, style, and quantity, order, and boom!

Receive your cards in as few as three days.

And you know those are carefully selected inks and responsibly sourced paper stocks.

Um, can I can I get up?

I have a fake.

Um, yeah, great.

Just tell all your friends.

Vistaprint wants you to do something great for your business right now, which is why they can get 500 high-quality custom business cards starting at $9.99.

Use code MTZ at Vistaprint.com.

That's code mtz at vistaprint.com.

MTZ at Vistaprint.com.com.

All hell the Federated Alliance.

I'll hail the Federated Alliance.

And also rock and roll.

Also rock and roll.

Alright.

Alright, Two.

I'm ready.

I'm ready to take whatever test you can throw at me and, you know, probably screw it up.

Are you absolutely sure about this?

I mean, what else?

What other choice do I have?

Well, you could maybe prepare for the test a little bit so that Tellurians aren't extincted by your potential blowing.

I don't know how to prepare for a test like this.

I've never done it, but you know, maybe just get into better shape or

physically?

That's mean.

Do you want some time?

I can give you some time.

50 years?

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

Here we go.

50 years.

Wow.

What?

Look how

pink and wrinkly he is.

Cleck, where did you just go?

Into space devoid of time or light, substance, or matter.

For 50 years, I floated endlessly.

Did you learn anything?

I learned nothing.

What did you do for 50 years?

Well, for like the first, like six months, I sort of freaked out.

And then I was like, I should probably.

This is part of the test.

Yeah.

But at a certain point, you just stop.

I kind of lost track of reality for a bit.

I kind of floated through.

But the thing was, I couldn't see anything.

Hmm.

I couldn't.

I kind of forgot what was real and what wasn't.

That was my bad.

Let's notice that.

You feeling better?

About what?

Right, of course.

All right, back to the test.

Yes, as you can see, we are standing on a crystal obelisk.

Oh.

Before you

lies

the entire entire Tellurian population.

Ow.

Fleck.

It's Pleck with a P.

Have you tested?

Have you been testing the wrong Tellurian this whole time?

Are you supposed to find a Fleck?

Because

I will tell you this.

Fleck Deck Setter is a very famous Tellurian.

Hold on.

What's your name?

Pleck, with a P.

Pleck.

Pleck Dexetter.

Your

Pleck Deck Setter.

I'm Pleck Deck Setter.

Not Fleck Deck Setter.

No, Fleck Deck Setter is very

famous player.

This makes a lot of sense.

But since I've already started, I mean, we might as well finish the test.

Oh, I don't know if I can do it.

I don't know if...

If you were supposed to be testing Fleck.

I mean.

Pleck.

Yes.

When I snap my fingers, you will have the intelligence that rivals Bino.

What?

I think that's a compliment.

And

it will be up to you to decide what to do when a comet comes.

What?

To destroy this entire planet that holds...

the entire Tellurian population.

Riding on that comet

is Bino.

Oh, I see what's going on here.

I d okay, so so my choice is to

my choice is to either save Bino.

Wait, if I

maybe give him the intelligence now.

Are you ready to go?

Never better.

With my enhanced vision from my keck eye, I can tell that the comet's current rate of descent and distance gives us about a minute and a half, so we'll have to act fast.

C-53, can I borrow your left arm, please?

Yes.

He's shipping away at the crystal obelisk with C's.

C-53's arm.

Because he could have asked me to chip in and be far too slow for that, C-53.

Look at how fast he's going.

Could you also give him super strength?

Well, actually, when the Tellurian mine is at top speed, it is able to take the body to limits.

Not have you.

Not have.

shut up you idiot

Not that you could break my concentration, but if you could I would ask you to kindly shut up

Yes, the crystal is nearly complete stand back

this lens I've created will reflect light from this planet's Sun and send a beam of focused energy back toward the comet, slowing its descent as it comes towards us.

As the comet blocks out light from the Sun, the energy from the lens will decrease as well until the comet is in a perfect geosynchronous orbit around the planet, thereby saving both Bino and the Tellurian species.

I shall also carve in the rest of this obelisk a giant P so that the crowd will know that I am not Fleck, but rather Pleck, Dexetter.

That's important.

It's important to me.

They're saying flepp.

They're saying flep now.

That's a commentary in me.

Yeah, well, flep deck setter is a retired zyball player who's now an umpire.

Magnificent.

Two.

I must say, it wasn't until you unlocked the depth of my intellect that I was able to fully grasp your test.

You wanted to see if I would put the existence of my species above that of a warm bean, and you gave me the intelligence to save both if I so chose.

I'm honored that I was selected for this test.

I hope I've proven the importance of my species.

Well, thank you.

That being said, the Tellurian race, I mean, it's saved, but important, that's...

wow.

I definitely would not use that word.

Like, there are so many species in all of the different galaxies, and you guys, like, if we were ranking them, which we don't officially,

but like, you know, in the locker room, we rank them all the time, and you guys,

I mean,

way down there, so far down.

There are inanimate objects that rank above you.

Give us an example: moss, yeah,

you are pretty much anymore.

Yeah, in an animate object, it is not, but still,

did you switch intelligence with me?

I'll be honest,

Giving you intelligence took away from mine.

It's actually one of the hardest things that we can muster.

Oh, man.

I'm going to need that.

Pleck, how do you feel?

Are you dumb again?

What do you mean again?

I mean, now you have.

No, he hasn't taken it back.

I still haven't.

You know, I just gotta say, I really pulled out some smart stuff right then, back then, earlier.

And I appreciate that you let me keep all the smarts that I had because it still feels good.

Yep, all the smarts still feels real good.

Thank you, Dar.

Yes, absolutely.

Couldn't have been set or bad.

Yeah, Pleck, now that you're still as smart, can you explain kind of the math behind that tricky quote back there with the light in the comet?

Just explain it again.

So, essentially, so essentially, what I did,

Bino was on the comet.

I thought, what if

I was able to

use the power of the sun?

And then I did.

Wow.

Yep.

So brilliant.

Well, I'm satisfied.

Sure.

Pleck.

Yeah.

Congratulations.

Your test has been passed.

To adieu.

To adieu.

That seems like I think he's trying to

make that a little mannered.

Yeah.

Bino?

Yep, Bino here!

I uh

I have finished the test and I think I did rather well.

Excellent.

Bino pleased with the progress you made, too.

I

must admit, that was a hard one.

Plech is

a creature that uh is so dumb, I don't know how he's alive.

Plech dumb, Bino's smart, yes.

Beeno, thank you to.

Thank you for running complicated complicated probability field tests in quantum space.

Anytime, please.

It was an honor and a pleasure, and I hope I did you proud.

Be no proud.

Well, thank you, Bino.

And if you ever need me to come back,

well,

you know my number.

Bino dude, two.

Bye, Bino.

Yeah, I just wanted to see who was winning.

Is that Fleck Decketter?

Yeah, that's Fleck Deck Setter.

I wonder how he would have done in the test.

Yeah.

He seems like kind of a jerk.

He's in great shape, though.

Yeah.

Very good shape.

Are all the deck setters related?

No.

No, no, no.

It's incredibly common to learn a name.

Let's just say I was in a situation where like a comet was like coming at me and what would I do?

That's a really interesting question.

Thank you so much for asking.

I would basically lift my shirt out and show my amps in a hundred percent that comet would gooey.

Gooey?

You know, the game's over.

We could probably just do it.

Yeah, I mean, honestly, when the athletes just get interviewed, it's the worst part of the situation.

You can tell they're just

platitudes about the game.

It's not really.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Oil the fury.

We've turned off this program.

Oh no, that ship guy is here again.

The ship guy?

The ship that I broke up with.

Oh, the shrimp delivery ship?

Wait a minute.

It's a giant shrimp.

There you go.

There's some iron rats.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Did somebody say shrimp?

Oh, look at that.

Did you do this?

Did you turn the shrimp boat into a giant shrimp?

Yes, yes.

Ah, haha.

I've learned something after all.

I think you're getting there, buddy.

Thank you, thank you.

Okay, I'm going for real this time.

Tula Doo.

He said to Ladou.

Thank you.
