4th Excuse [video]

[The video comes on, but for a moment, nothing distinct can be seen because the room being shown is spinning wildly.]

Why, of course! I'd be happy to have this dance!

[The view of the room stops spinning, but it dips briefly before coming back upright.]

What was that? You think I'm handsome? Why, thank you! You're looking lovely yourself.

Ewwwww don't kiss me!

[excuuusemehero]

[Link mimics Goten's voice with a high falsetto.]

Eeeww! Why would I want to kiss you?

[littlelegend]

I don't know, why're you kissing everybody?! That's gross!

[excuuusemehero]

I am not! I wasn't kissing anybody, kid!

[Oh wait.]

I mean, the only person I was kissing was this incredibly beautiful girl. Who just left. But you shouldn't know about that anyway.

[littlelegend]

Nuh uh, I saawww you. You were kissing all of us.

That's icky, mister, you shouldn't kiss so many people. You'll get cooties.

[excuuusemehero]

Well, I sure didn't see anyone else. How can you get cooties from people you didn't touch or see?

[littlelegend]

I dunno, but if you can then you soooo did.

[excuuusemehero]

How do you know that? Do you have cooties?

[littlelegend]

N-no! I don't have cooties! I don't kiss anybody but Mama!

[excuuusemehero]

[Link grins.]

What if she has cooties, huh? What if someone kissed her and she didn't tell you?

[Link is so mature.]

[littlelegend]

[GASP

Oh you better not talk about his mama like that mister]

M-

My mama doesn't have cooties. And only me an' my brother and our daddy are allowed to kiss Mama, and we don't have cooties because Mama doesn't have cooties!

[excuuusemehero]

[Oh fine, he'll just have to add the whole Son family into it and make it fair~]

Your daddy could have cooties, then! Or your brother! Maybe someone with cooties kissed them.

[littlelegend]

No, I think they would've told me if they did.

[excuuusemehero]

You never did something bad that you never told anyone about? And you think they haven't either?

[littlelegend]

Cooties are important to tell people about, mister. You don't lie about that stuff.

[This is as close to condescending as Goten will ever get, because God. It's cooties. Obviously you share these things with the people that could be affected by them.]

[excuuusemehero]

Then I've got bad news for you, kid.

[Link sounds grave, very grave indeed.]

If I just kissed everyone on the ship, I probably got cooties - which means I probably just gave them to you.
