" 'Close it up, close it up, closer! Shove that there wingtip right in his lap...'Sweet Savannah! That wing tip o' Baxter's has been tickling me right in the ribs for three days now, man, I'm gettin' mighty tired of it!"
"That's tellin' em Birdy!"

Hmmmph! Looks like we just got ourselves a talkin' General!"
