Senses Taker:
Names! I must have your names before you can proceed!

Milo:
Well, uh, this is the Humbug.

Senses Taker:
Humbug.

Milo:
This is Tock.

Senses Taker:
Tock.

Milo:
And my name is Milo. Now can we go?

Senses Taker:
Milo. Ooh, I haven't had an M in ages. Now then, if you will just tell me when you were born, where you were born, why you were born, how old you are, how old you were then, what grade you're in, your shoe size, shirt size, collar size, hat size, and the names and bank references of six people who can verify this information! Then you can go.

Milo:
What do you need all this for? We're in a hurry.

Senses Taker:
I'm the official Senses Taker! I must have this information before I take your senses! So, now then, if you will fill out in triplicate your height, your weight, how many ice-cream cones you eat in a week, how many you don't eat in a week...

Milo:

Senses Taker:

Tock:
Milo, the bottle of laughter! Use this bottle of laughter I got from Dr. Discord! He can't take away our sense of humor!
