BEG YOUR PARDON, GOAT, BUT THIS WAS TO BE MY AUTUMN OF READING FAULKNER, A GOAL IMPEDED BY THE INFERNAL RACKET THAT IS STEVE.
WHAT CAN I DO?
I'M PLEASED YOU ASKED, BECAUSE I BELIEVE I HAVE A COMPROMISE THAT WILL BE ACCEPTABLE TO ALL.
GREAT! WHAT IS IT?

I am a good boyfriend.

I am tough.
I am brave.
DUDE, SHOW A LITTLE VULNERABILITY. CHICKS CAN'T RESIST A GUY WHO ADMITS HE HAS SOME WEAK SPOTS.
I have gas.

Danny Donkey hated people.
He made him wait at the supermarket.
He made him wait at the video store.
They made him wait in line at the amusement park.
So Danny Donkey cut the line.
Cut the line at the supermarket.
Cut the line at the amusement park.
Cut the line at the video store.
Why, Danny Donkey cut every line he could find.
But for everything we do, there are consequences. And this was no exception.
For as a result of all his line-cutting, Danny Donkey saw that he had become something he had never been before.
Happy.
YOU ARE NOT PUTTING THIS IN A BOOK FOR CHILDREN.
SO, REMEMBER, KIDS, NEVER WAIT YOUR TURN!
WOW! WHAT A TIME-SAVER!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW, RAT?
I'M PERFORMING A PUBLIC SERVICE.. THE WORLD CRIES OUT FOR ME.
YOU CANNOT INCREASE THE SIZE OF SOMEONE'S BRAIN.

RAT, JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
BEFORE I JOIN THIS YOUNG COUPLE IN HOLY MATRIMONY, I'D LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS TO THE LOVELY BRIDE AND HER GROOM ABOUT THIS THEIR SPECIAL DAY...
EACH OF YOU COULD HAVE DONE MUCH, MUCH BETTER.
YOUR MOTHERS MADE ME SAY THAT.

RAT ACTS AS JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.
AND NOW I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE A DOVE, WHICH REPRESENTS THE PEACE AND HARMONY YOU TWO WILL EXPERIENCE TOGETHER.
AND BOB THE ELEPHANT, WHO REPRESENTS THE PROBLEMS.
NO SUDDEN MOVES. BOB'S JUMPY.

WHERE'S RAT TODAY?
HE GOT A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE LICENSE... HE'S GONNA PERFORM WEDDINGS.
A CYNIC LIKE HIM?... THAT'S PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA.
OHH, HE'LL BE FINE.
AND REMEMBER, 'GROOM' RHYMES WITH 'DOOM.'

WELL, GOODBYE, MOM... I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I LOVE YOU... AND EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF WHAT YOU SAY IS FILLED WITH SUBTLE CRITICISM, I KNOW YOU DON'T MEAN IT.
I LOVE YOU TOO, SON... I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING.
DID YOU SHOWER?

SON, TALK TO YOUR UNCLE... HE HASN'T SEEN YOU IN TWELVE YEARS...
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY... I DON'T UNDERSTAND HIM.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HIM?
HE'S... HE'S CHANGED. HE'S JUST A GOAT. HE EATS GRASS. HE WALKS ON ALL FOURS.
OH, SON... HE DIDN'T CHANGE... YOU DID.
AND NOT FOR THE BETTER, SAYS YOUR PEEVED UNCLE TED.

GOAT RETURNS HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWELVE YEARS
I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND, SON, BUT I INVITED OVER SOME OF YOUR RELATIVES... THEY'RE IN THE BACKYARD...
YOU DID? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME? WE HAVE SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT... SO MUCH CATCHING UP TO DO...
BAAA-AA
SOMEBODY'S CHANGED, MA..
DON'T BE RUDE, SON... SAY HELLO.
