"Look, Terry-- we all know that The Commitment says the Pilgrim named the celestial bodies after years of studying the ten sacred potentials, right?

"He what? He waited til the last day?"
"He forgot to do it. Can you believe that shit, Terry!"

"Adventures! Mayhem! Comedy! There's a buddy! And a CGI prehistoric goose!"
"A what?"
"A goose!"
"Sounds..."
"Sounds brilliant, Terry! And we're gonna get Cunkle Bunkler to direct the shit out of it."

"It's gonna be a hit, Terry."
