Transcript:

Goat says, "Where were you yesterday?" Rat says, "I traveled to New York and snuffed out the editor of 'Pearls Before Swine.'" Goat says, "What?? Why'd you do that?" Rat says, "Well, originally, I wanted to do it so we'd have no editor and could do whatever we want in 'Pearls,' but after I got there I changed my mind." Goat says, "What do you mean, 'Changed your mind'?" Rat says, "Well, after I knocked the poor guy senseless, I noticed his computer had access to this database where every syndicated cartoonist in the country submits their work." Goat says ,"So?" Rat says, "So it meant I could mess with other creators' comic strips." Goat says ,"You didn't." Rat says, "I did. I deletes captions and replaced them with some quotes I found in this little book I carry around." Goat says, "'The complete speeches of Benito Mussolini'??" Rat says, "What's wrong with that?" "Let us have a dagger between our teeth, a bomb in our hands, and an infinite scorn in our heart."
