Rat says, "You imitate George W. Bush by squinting your eyes and muttering bushisms....like this...we're gonna smoke 'em out.'" Pig says, "Oh, I'm not good at imitations." Rat says, "C'mon, dude." Goat says, "Okay, guys, ham's almost ready. Do you want pineapple slices in the ham?" Pig says, "Yeah, but will you do that trick?" Rat says, "What is that?"
