This toothpaste tastes funny. French Fries are not a dessert. Wheeeeee! Go ahead. Make me disappear. Is this your first time bungee jumping? I hate being on the tightrope. You swallowed fourteen pounds of What? Elephants make me nervous. Pretend like I’m not here. Okay, but this is your last marshmallow. I hate being a penguin. Abra-ka-da-bra! You put your IPod in the toaster? He’s been lying there for two days. My uncle just turned to plaster. Okay! You try it now! Twelve times is enough! Come on! You can climb that ice cream! Are you sure this is safe? Don't look now, but it’s getting closer.

Serious IDA: That’s what you keep telling me. Maybe they won’t find out. This is going to be hard. Let’s don't talk about it. This isn’t going to be easy. I wish I had more friends. It’s the way you act…really. I just want to be alone. Do you think we can do it? I just can’t tell him.
