[Quibbel] What be this I heard about us fighting?
[Battel] Robin hath entered us in the Site Fights Competition...
[Lady TangylWyt] The Sanskrit word for "war" means "desire for more cows."
[Babbel] I be a Lover not a Fighter...
[Battel] Nay, it be on account of our wit.
[Bottel] ...half right there...
[Lady Lucrativa] What do we get if we win?
[Battel] Verily, I be sure the City Fathers will encourage everyone to vote for us.
[Lady De KupKake] Why be that?
[Battel] Well, if we win the preliminaries, then we will have to travel away to contest the Finals...
[Lady Lucrativa] Think you that the City Fathers may pay for the journey?
[Bottel] They did the last time they encouraged us to leave...
[Lady Lud Wygel] I still get sea sick thinking about that ship...
[Lady TangylWyt] Did you know that the eye of an ostrich is bigger than it's brain?

[Bottel] Sticks and stones...
