Transcript:
Rat: Who were you yelling at on the phone? Stephan: The people who color my Sunday strips. Rat: I thought you colored them. Stephan: Well. I do. But then my color file gets sent to some company that turns it into color plates for the Sunday paper. Rat: I don't understand that. Stephan: I don't either, really. All I know is that those guys are ultimately responsible for how the color appears in the Sunday strip. Rat: Why'd you get ticked at them? Stephan: Oh, they screwed up the color in a strip a few weeks ago, and I told them to be more careful. Pig: Will they listen? Stephan: Oh, yeah. I told 'em. "You don't mess with the color in MY strip. I'm Stephan Pastis, darn it." I think that really intimidated them. Rat: It sure did. Pig: I'm so pretty. Stephan: I'll get them for this. Crocodile: Whoa. Me must be more buzzed den me tink. "@*#@# you Stephan"
