Transcript:
Rat: What's the matter with you? Pig: I have to go to a dinner party with a bunch of academic types. And I'm afraid I'm gonna look stupid. Rat: Just talk like they do and use all the buzzwords. You know, like 'existential angst', and 'paradigm shift'. Pig: And thanks for letting me use your bathroom. Where I relieved my existential angst with a paradigm shift.
