Daniel:
[as Pudgy the Parrot] Yipe. On second thought, YIPE! 9-1-1! 9-1-1! Police! Civic Authorities! A.S.P.C.A, A.S.A.P! Murder! Betrayal! Kidnapped! No! Birdnapped!
Daniel:
[as Grunge the Cat] A cup of garlic, a twist of parakeet. Eat your heart out, Julia Child.
Daniel:
[as Pudgy the Parrot] Excuse me, but isn't it customary for the jailbird to get one telephone call?
Daniel:
[as Grunge the Cat] In your case, I think not. Afternoon snacks have very few civil liberties. But I'm not wholly without heart. How about a nice, soothing cigarette?
Daniel:
[as Pudgy the Parrot, pretends to cough and choke and ad libs over the line "Beak Cancer"] I will not do this! I cannot! Oh, what a foul way for a bird to die! I don't want to get beak cancer! No! My lungs are blackened!
[Irritated, Lou rolls his eyes]
Lou:
Here we go again. Cut! Roll it back! What are you doing? [Daniel stops, startled] Daniel, that line is not in the script. Why did you add it?
Daniel:
Well, I thought I should comment on the situation.
Lou:
What situation?
Daniel:
The fact the Pudgy the Parrot has a cigarette shoved into his mouth is morally irresponsible!
Lou:
This is a cartoon, okay? This is not a freaking Oprah Winfrey special!
Daniel:
Lou, millions of kids see this cartoon. It's like sending each one of them a packet of cigarettes and saying, "Light up!"
Lou:
You can't put words in Pudgy's mouth if his mouth isn't moving!
Daniel:
Well, it's a voice over. It's an interior monologue. Maybe even the voice of God. That's even better. [as God] Don't Pudgy! Don't smoke!
Lou:
[sighing] Actors.
Daniel:
What? Well, let's ask the technicians. [at technicians] Do you think it's morally right to promote smoking to the youth of America?
[The three men are observing the recording studio from a control room, each smoking a cigarette. One of them shrugs.]
Daniel:
[Whistles] They're biased. That's a mistrial.
Lou:
Daniel, listen to me. This session is costing the studio thousands of dollars. Now if you want a paycheck, you stick to the script. If you want to play Gandhi, then do it on somebody else's time!
[Daniel removes recording headphones]
Daniel:
[as Gandhi] Then I got to do what I got to do.
[Daniel proceeds to exit recording studio]
Lou:
That's very funny. Where the hell are you going? Hey, listen, buddy. I'll tell you something. If you leave, you're not coming back in. I'm not taking any crap from you, pal.
Daniel:
Well, in the words of Porky Pig... [as Porky Pig] Pi-pi-pi-pi pi-pi-pi-pi pi- piss off, Lou!
[he exits]
