Transcript:
Alice: Is that the sad pull toy that Santa brought you? Dill: Yes. It's been acting strangely, so I'm taking it for a walk in the fresh air to see if that helps. It's been making a high-pitched whine, and sometimes spits out sparks like it might explode. It wanders around the house at night and leaves puddles of green goo in the closets. My other toys don't do that. So I figure it's an alien toy from Mars that was delivered to Earth by mistake. I just hope there's not an Earth jack-in-the-box on Mars running amok destroying the planet. Alice: Martian kids must be so weird. Toy: EENK

They’re probably rather normal compared to Alice.

That thing may be from Mars, but it’s learned enough already to know that it should be scared of Alice!

There was a song about that toy. Does anyone remember the words?
I think it starts “it goes pop when you pull it”. ————“and brrrrrr when it stands still”.

Santa must have got that from Lio, and re-gifted it to Dill.

It went “Gleep” when it moved and “Glorp” when it stopped and “Nanoo-Nanoo” when it stood still…
