 * Emmet: I think they're from Riverbottom!
 * Chuck: Look at the birds up in the tree.
 * Harvey: Yeah? Well, we're not birds, we're a jug band!
 * Charlie: Yeah! Practicing for the talent contest!
 * Stanley: Oh, sure! They're gonna win the talent contest, right, boss? Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!
 * Chuck: Shut up.
 * Wendell: What was that all about?


 * Ma Otter: Emmet, what do you say? Sounds better than selling snake oil.
 * Emmet: Why, sure. Nobody wants to oil a snake these days! (laughs)
