SK: My daddy! -crowd of 5 families laugh. Skullkid's eyes water-

KG: OK. Hey Tatl!

Tatl: Yeah?

KG: I need you to do me a big favor. Go find Skullkid's father, and ask him how many games I've been in? Hurry… HURRY!

Tatl: OK.

Tatl: He... -breath- asked, "why... -breath- did my son waste... -breath- his time... asking -breath-... ... me?!" - big breath, and collapse-

SK: AAARGH!!! DARN MY FATHER!! MAY HE ROT IN THE BOWELS OF EL DIABLO!!!

SK: -reads letter- "Skullkid, you are grounded. From, your Dad. PS Haha" AAARGH!!! He thinks he can outsmart me, eh? I'm the man in the Bessemer mask...aka, man in the steel mask, you … father! I don't give a jack smack! Don't ground me, don't even think about it you crazy kidstas, Mista Kidstas, ex banned Mista Kidsta that smacks the jackety smack off jack smack!

KG: Um... What? –to himself- Sheesh… somebody's got some issues to work out… -To Skullkid- Try going to your dad and talk to him. You can get a map at--

SK: Please, don't get smart with me. Now is neither the time nor the place. I know how to access the map my fair jack smack. Just where are the darn maps anyways?

KG: I believe they are in North Clock Town. If not, maybe northeast or just East. I think it's just north!

SK: THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THE QUESTION NICELY. GOOD JOB JACKY.

KG: Sorry dude, I was just telling you-

SK: I know dude, I'm just fooling with you. I'm just in a bad mood cause my dad failed to send me a birthday card. I haven't seen the guy in five years, and by the way, he raises, skunks and llamas like a jack smack would.

KG: ... what's a Jack smack?

SK: Hopefully you don't think I'm the crazy one. It's this game, you know, that's driving me crazy. Actually it's my real dad. Don't blame me. You haven't seen what I've seen with the skunk/llama trials.

KG: OH FOR THE LOVE OF NAYRU!!! SHUT UP!!!! THE FRIGGIN MAPS ARE AT THE NORTH CLOCK TOWN AREA!!!! THAT'S WHERE IT IS!!! OK?! ALRIGHT??!?!! IS EVERYBODY FRIGGIN HAPPY!!?!?!?! CAUSE I'M NOT!!!!! WE NEED TO FINISH THE SHOW!!!

SK: I THINK I'M GONNA GO CRAZY!!!!

KG: YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GO CRAZY?! I STILL DON"T KNOW WHAT A JACK SMACK IS! –Ahem- Anyways… We'll be right back after these messages. Thank you. No really. The humor has ended.

SK: IT'S ONLY THE FIRST HALF YOU PIT-DIDDLE!!!!

KG: Pit-diddle? What the… er—Don't go anywhere folks 'cause we'll be right back!
