Alice: I'm bringing my toys in to meet your toys! Where are they? Petey: My toys are in a box under my bed. Alice: Okay, let's see- here's a jar of grey fuzz. This is a toy? Petey: That's Mr. Uggins, my old teddy bear. I was a little too clingy an the wore out. Alice: Here's an assortment of plastic body parts. Petey: Those are from monster model kits. I didn't finish. I hate the finality of completion. Alice: Here's one army man. Who has one army man? Petey: His country was disbanded. He's the last one left. Alice: What crummy toys! Alice: My toys are laughing at your toys! Petey: My toys don't push each other into a volcano when their tea party goes horribly awry.
