You can do anything in the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH!
[she laughs] The little mice haven't been sharing the cheese. More like I bet Nothing's cut the cheese. That rat! You tell them Fruitbowl! Tell them, I said SHARE!

I saw that it was called that. I am not sure why, though I did enjoy it. I would not mind seeing it again. I do not think we have rides like that back home.
[He works to sound confused.] The mice? Nothing? Nothing is a rat? Who tells them to share?

I KNEW IT! WE ARE UPSIDE DOWN! WE ARE IN A LAND DOWN UNDER!

I look forward to it! And you are saying that the little boy would not like mazes? Wings can be very lovely things.

Under what?

Fruitbowl is a better name! Youthful fruit guy! He caused a wave. I wonder what he did?
UNDERWHERE? [she laughs]

You can call me that if you would like, though I do not think I will introduce myself like that. It is not as easy to remember as Gai or Youth. I do not know what he did. I hardly ever spoke with him.
