Pig: Sorry I'm late, Goat. There was some construction, so I had to walk a different way. Goat: That's okay. Hey, I'd like you to meet my friend, Chris... Chris, this is pig. Chris: Pig, Huh? What do you go by? Pig: The cheese store and the bakery. Goat: A name, Pig... He's looking for a name. Pig: Oh, I think it's 'Lou's Cheese Store.' They have very good cheese. Chris: Never mind.
