Ernesto: Peter, have I seemed a bit distracted recently? Petey: Yeah, kinda. Ernesto: You see, the additives in my breakfast cereal have combined with the additives in my luncheon meat to form a potent hallucinogen. But I'm free of its effects now. Petey: Oh, good. Petey: Huh. Well. Alice: Jump through my hoop of Dill will both you! Petey: Ah, normality!
