IS THAT THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO SAY TO ME?
NO. I'M HUNGRY. WHERE IS MY FOOD?
EUSTACE, I DON'T THINK YOU'RE BEING VERY POLITE.
HEH! WHO CARES WHAT YOU THINK?
I THINK YOU'D CARE WHAT I THINK.
I'D CARE WHAT YOU THINK IF YOU SAID SOMETHING WORTH THINKING ABOUT!
I THINK YOU'RE STUBBORN.
MM-HMM.

AND I THINK YOU'RE BEING VERY NASTY!
MM-HMM.
DON'T CARE! YOU'RE BLOCKING ME TV, DURN TV-BLOCKING WOMAN.
I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU NOT CARING WHAT I THINK OR SAY.
[GRUMBLES]
THEY SHOULD MAKE A REMOTE THAT SHUTS OFF PEOPLE.
DON'T WORRY. I'M SHUTTING MYSELF OFF!
I'M NOT SPEAKING ANYMORE.
LISTEN TO THE TV ALL YOU WANT.
YOU WON'T BE HEARING FROM ME AGAIN.
[WHINES]

OUCH!

[BABBLING]
IF PATIENT CANNOT DESCRIBE PROBLEM TO ME,
I CANNOT HELP--

[BABBLING]
IF THE SILENT ONE WON'T SPEAK,
YOU NEED MORE THAN A DOCTOR TO HELP.
YOU NEED MAGIC.
HA HA! THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
OUCH!
MUST HANG UP NOW.
YOUR MURIEL WILL NOT SPEAK
BECAUSE OF THE STUPID ONE?
WHAT IS IT I CAN DO?
[BABBLING]
OK.
I WILL UNLEASH FORCES WHICH CAN ONLY BE STOPPED
BY THE SOUND OF YOUR MURIEL'S VOICE.
HUH?
THESE ARE POWERFUL FORCES--
VERY POWERFUL.
[GASPS]
I WILL MAKE A SPELL...
FROM DEEP BELOW THE PLANET'S SHELL.
DEEPER THAN THE DEEPEST WELL...
MAY FORCES RISE TO BREAK THE GROUND...
AND CAUSE YOUR MURIEL TO SOUND.
[SAXOPHONE PLAYS]
AHH. THANK YOU!
AH-AH-AH! THERE'S MORE.
IF YOUR MURIEL WON'T SPEAK...
MUCH HAVOC WILL THESE FORCES WREAK.
OR IN OTHER WORDS, IT WILL NOT BE PRETTY.
[RUMBLING]
SO IT BEGINS.
[GASPS]
AAAAAAHHHH!
[ROARING]
IF I WERE YOU,
I WOULD GET TO YOUR MURIEL BEFORE IT DOES.
