“I’m not as bad as you may think I am.”

“Shut up evil one.”

“Oh, gonna resort to name calling. Okay, yeah I’m the big bad wolf. I do have street creds to uphold but I’m not a bad guy.”

“You ate my grandmother.”

“Hello, I am a wolf. I eat meat, Red”

“Well your meat eating days are over…”

“But I don’t want it to end. I want it to go on and on.”

“It can’t, it is physically impossible Marilyn.”

“I’m not talking about the physical, Leonard.”

“Then what are you talking about,.”
