(talking on the phone with the doctors assistant)
Mr. Ernst: Positive, gastrothombous. Then its true I can't believe this is happening. Isn't there anything that can be done? (doctors assistant speaking) What do you mean don't worry? Sometimes its for the best. Well thanks a lot! (edit) Melody: Jake, is it true your so dumb mind readers only charge half price. Brad, is that your face or did your neck just throw up. Danny, I heard you were so ugly when you were a kid they had to tie a bone around your neck so the dog would play with you. Buddy, why don't you come down to the pool later and I'll give you some free drowning lessons. One more thing, as far as your father goes I hope its far. (edit)
