Transcript:
PIg: Hey, Gomer goldfish. How goes it? Gomer: Not good, PIg. I'm starting to think this is it... Me... Tiny fishbowl... Swim swim swim... Pig: The goldfish is on to us.
Cheer him up Pig. Tell Gomer Goldfish that someday soon you’ll show him a magical porcelain gateway, where a rush of water will carry him through a wondrous underground tunnel, and guide him to a magical kingdom where everything becomes clean and purified . . .
Oh,Pig! How could you? Rat, I get it. But dear innocent Pig, keeping poor tormented Fishy in a watery prison cell, endlessly, and doing it knowingly?!I am shocked.
Gomer Goldfish? Larry the Groc. HMMM, why don’t Pig, Rat and Goat have first names? Pig could be Purdy Pig. Rowdy Rat and since we have Gomer, Goat would have to be Goober Goat.
Every time we watched our daughter’s fish for her, one would die. A particular time, her plecostomus fish (fishtank cleaner) died. We replaced it with a bigger one before she got home and told her it had eaten a lot. She never figured it out.

He might have to swim with the fishes.

Maybe they should get Gomer together with Fish (from Pooch Cafe).

“Gomer,” Steph? No wonder he’s depressed.

I doubt that, Pig.
My memory is like a goldfish’s most of the time.

Explain sushi to Goldie. That’ll shut him up.
