Quotes:

King Koo-Koo: Ready. Aim. Tickle!

[last lines]::Raggedy Ann, Andy: [singing] Candy hearts and paper flowers / Will always keep me close to you, / Will always keep me close to you.

The Camel: [singing] When you can't find a friend / And the road doesn't seem to end / And you're lonesome the whole day through / How can you be happy? / How can you be smiling? / How can you be anything but lowdown saggy and blue? / When there's nothing to share / And you don't have a dime to spare / And there's no one to comfort you / How can you be smiling? / How can you be singing? How can you be anything but lowdown saggy and blue? / I look around and see the sweet life everywhere. / I watch the cookie bushes shining in the sun. / The smell of sweet vanilla living blows in every breath of air. / Doesn't anybody want me? / Doesn't anybody care? / When you're wrinkled and cold / And your fortune has all been told / And you're nobody's "I Love You" / How can you be happy? / How can you be smiling? / How can you be anything but lowdown saggy and blue? / Sad but true. / How can you be happy? / How can you be singing? / How can you be anything but lowdown saggy / And rag bag baggy / And blue.

The Greedy: Is this endless eating all there is to be? Or not to be?
