The Animal Within Pt. 1[]
| Character | Dialogue |
|---|---|
|
"First thing an exotic petting zoo needs is a stage where they can prance around." |
|
"And, er… chairs right up against the stage for the best views." |
|
|
"Good idea. Then the pets can climb right down onto kids' laps." |
|
|
"...and they can stuff their dollar bills into their costumes." |
|
"Wait, what? Are you thinkin' this is exotic ladies?! This is an exotic ANIMAL petting zoo." |
|
"Sorry. When I hear “exotic” and “petting” my mind goes where any crummy mayor's would." |

|
"Maybe you could make Springfield's regular animals into special ones?" |
|
|
"I think you're on to something, Barn." |
|

"I believe it technically counts as exotic if I order paint and stick-on parts from overseas!" |
