Transcript:
Goat: I hear Pig found your conscience locked in a trunk in the attic. Rat: Yeah. And if you say another word about it, I'll beat you like a $*#!@! rug. Voice: Profanity is wrong. Rat: This could get very annoying.
I’m so glad this one is getting a series. Nothing wrong with having a yelling voice upstairs telling you right from wrong. Some people call that a grandparent.
Rat, you don’t know the half of it! How long have you had your poor Conscience stashed in that locked trunk? When is the last time it was able to try to guide you? You may even be prodded to do a good deed or two!
and pick up that empty beer can. Don’t you know you should be recycling? Sit up straight, stop slouching. Keep your feet off the sofa. Go out and get a job. Oh, wait I thought I was talking to a “Occupier”.
Have you ever seen or had been served a fried egg with it’s shell? I doubt it.This may be Stephan “coming out of his shell.” And besides, this “Conscious” in the trunk has to be light enough and visible enough for Pig to have found it, carry it, and to inquire it’s desires.But, perhaps on the light side, Rat’s secret may be that he’s really a softy mouse on the inside.

Rat refuses to perform any service to humanity (and animality?) on the grounds that he’s a Conscientiousness Objector.

Wow. Rat’s conscience is screaming at him. I’d never have expected that.

Maybe if rat sobers up there won’t be voices in his head.

It’s appropriate that Pig woke up Rat’s conscience.
+++++
I just can’t figure out why either “darn” or “dirty” is profane. . . .;^)
