THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET( short 50/50 )

How come you didn't stop that morning when you saw me on the road?

Rancher's word, I never saw you.

I need a box of biscuits, a box of mixed biscuits and a biscuit mixer.

Are you talking to me or are you talking to the peanut butter?

It's a diction exercise, moron.

You'd be better out trying some yourself enough here or make it on TV again.I've got some more to do in the public speaking department.

How about you just show us how its done the day you're in a movie.

Yeah, or in the running for Miss Montana.Or a reality show about a normal person living with a bunch of insane hostile degenerates.

Speaking of which, does anyone know if or when your father is showing up for breakfast?
