"Ha-ha! Success! I did it!"

"What is it now?"

"I, the Great Captain Usopp, have made a spectacular contribution to the science of long-distance communication! Listen…."

tudilip tudilip…tudilip tudilip….

"Cool, huh?"

"Uh-huh, riiiiight."

"Aw, come on, Nami! I just converted this den den mushi's ringtone. Don't you think it's wonderful?"

"Oh yeah, it's grand. How's that gonna help?"

"You don't have to be sarcastic. Den den mushis don't have to be boring anymore, with their monotonous 'ebulebulebulebulep' or'buriburiburiburi' sounds. You can choose your own ringtones now. Imagine the belli you'll rake in once the technique's been patented!"

"This is why you're asking me for a loan? I don't think so. See ya!"

"H-hey, wait-wait-wait! It's a pop song, for crying out loud. Don't you recognize it at least?"

"Nope, can't say that I do. Bye."

"Give it a chance, please! It's Beyonce."

"You're kidding! That song…it can't be!"

"That's right, it's your fave song. What do you think?"

"Get out."

"What?"

"I said, get out!"

"But-but-but—"

"You turned my song into some semi-comprehensible poppycock from a den den mushi's mouth, and you want me to pay you for it?! Do you actually believe I'm out of my mind?"

"But—but—"

"Dammit, do you want to go out the door or through the wall?!"

"But this is my room."

"…"

"I'll be leaving now. No need to escort me, Usopp. I know where the door is."
