Transcript excerpt

Aw, nuts. I've been kidnapped to the squirrel realm. Why? What did I ever do to you? You ate my better, Fair and all. We all sat there and watched. Oh, yeah. I did do that. You're a monster. Hey. I did what I had to to survive. I was starving and lost. It was Washington Square Park. Yeah. And I didn't have my phone, so I don't know what you expect from me. For your crimes against squirrel manatee, we're gonna eat you whole. You're gonna eat my what? No. No. Come on, man. We're gonna eat you alive. Okay? Wait. Before you do that, I just wanna say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for eating your brother Ferndol in the Washington Square Rank Fountain. It was not cool. Rank, but I mean, we still have to eat you. Oh, crap. She's getting away. Human realm transport Kadabra. No. Okay. I'm going home.
