    Chicken:     Now you DO reassure me he's gone?
    Duck:         I told you.  He's gone.
    Chicken:     Why do I keep smelling cigar smoke?
    Duck:         That isn't cigar.  It's serotonin.
    Chicken:     Are you sure?   I keep seeing those specs.
                      And that awful grey tail.
    Duck:         That's natural, Isabel.  You had a bad fright.
                      It'll pass.
    Chicken:     I don't know what I'm going to do.
    Duck:         You're going to have get a grip, Isabel,
                      that's what you're going to have to do.
                      I told you.  He's history.  All those stories
                      were just so much turkey shit.
    Chicken:     Oh sure.  You all say that.  But there were two
                      more again last night.  Just a few feathers,
                      they say.  That's all that was left.  Just a couple
                      of sad little feathers.  And a few crumbs of
sachertorte.
    Duck:         Well it wasn't him.  I'll tell you once & I won't
                      tell you again.  He's  NO LONGER ANY
                      THREAT TO US POULTRY.  Not now,
                      not ever.
    Chicken:     You go & tell that to the girls in Coup 14.
    Duck:         Have you stopped taking your pills?
    Chicken:     No.
    Duck:         How come you're still wearing that ridiculous hat?
    Chicken:     It's my mother's hat.
    Duck:         I think you need to double the dose.
    Chicken:     Don't say that.  Aw, come on, don't say that.
                      I think I'm a little better.
