Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 11, 1986
Transcript:
Calvin: OK, Hobbes. I need you to help me memorize my line for the play. Hobbes: Sure. Calvin: I'm the onion, and I say, "In addition to supplying vital nutrients, many vegetables are a source of dietary fiber." Ok, ready? Hobbes: Ready. Go ahead. "In addition..." Calvin: Wait. Hold it. I'm not in character yet. What motivates an onion? Hobbes: Fame. I suppose this could be a big break.
You gotta finish the scene. You gotta get to the parfaits!*
Donkey: What about cake? Everybody loves cake!
Shrek: I don’t care what everyone else likes! Ogres are not like cakes.
Donkey: You know what ELSE everybody likes? Parfaits! Have you ever met a person, you say, “Let’s get some parfait,” they say, “Hell no, I don’t like no parfait”? Parfaits are delicious!
Shrek: NO! You dense, irritating, miniature beast of burden! Ogres are like onions! End of story! Bye-bye! See ya later.
Donkey: Parfait’s gotta be the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet!
