Son: Do women have it?

[first lines]
Mona Gray: [narrating] I used to love my dad's stories, until the one he told me on my tenth birthday.
Dad: There once was a kingdom where everybody lived forever. But the problem with nobody ever dying was that the kingdom got very crowded. And so the king, getting squeezed out of his own castle by his endless royal lineage, issued a decree.
King: [still-life cartoon] Everybody in my kingdom, please pick one person from your family to die. We will have a mass execution that will bring forth much-needed space. Sorry to bum everybody out, but that's the way it goes.
Dad: And each family showed up with their martyr, all except one family.
Father: Sire, we can't decide. We love each other so much that we would all like to die together.
Baker: Oh, no, they can't all die. They run the bakery. They make the best cinnamon buns in all the land.
Father: What if we each cut off a piece of ourselves? And with all of these pieces combined, it will be as if one less person lived in town.
King: Interesting. Hmm. Continue.
Dad: But the daughter refused.
Daughter: But, Dad, I like my limbs.
Father: Don't be selfish. Would you rather one of us die?
Son: You can have my arm.
Mother: I'll give my right ear.
Baker: I see no problem losing some of my fingers.
Father: I'll throw in my nose.
King: Guarantee me a leg, and it's a deal.
Daughter: Well, I do have another one. Okay, I'm in.
Dad: After the executioner had done the deed, the family made an unsightly sight and business went bad. So the family started selling their cinnamon buns by mail order to the next kingdom. And since no one had to look at them, they were a huge hit, and they made heaps of dough. And the father said to the daughter, "You see what we can accomplish if we all stick together?"The end.

Son: Imagine giving you the sausage, Puss. I should make a sausage out of you. You'd make... one decent meal, and a fur cap. Is that all you can do for me, Puss? A sausage and a fur cap...
Puss: [hisses] Get me some proper boots and you won't lack for fur caps, nor for decent meals, nor for anything else.
[squints and disappears]

Princess Vera: Well, you're not my master! I'm free to risk my life if I wish to!
Puss: And I'd like permission to risk mine!
Son: That's easy for you to say, you've got 8 more to go!
Puss: Tch, well!

Son: I've literally eaten everything that I've come across. When I interact with a new object, I'm gonna look at it for a little bit, I'm gonna reach out and poke it, see if it moves around, pick it up, wiggle it back and forth... and then that thing goes all the way in my mouth. And if it doesn't try to get out of mouth, it's going down the hatch. If you ask me, it's a pretty good way to do things. The other day I put a scorpion in my mouth, that guy jumped right out. I mean, he knew the rules, he played the game... I respect him for that.
-- Son -
Son: Are we gonna go skinny dipping?
Mother: Why would we do that?
Son: I don't know.
-- Son -
Son: I lost a shoe two months ago. I didn't say anything about it and no one asked me, so... I've been walking around with one shoe. If someone were to ask me, Where's your shoe? I'd say, I don't know. Because at this point, I honestly don't. I mean, I remember where it was when I threw it off the wagon. But I mean, it bounced for a little bit and I kind of put my hand out and pointed at it, but no one said anything so I just put my hand down and forgot about it, man. All I know is that shoe bounced pretty good.
-- Son -
Son: Goodbye, Dad. I guess I'm Mom's only son now.
Father: You were always Mom's only son. I'm the father, remember?
Son: Oh. Well I loved you like a brother.
-- Son -
Son: [sings] Craaphoole, yeah that's me, I'm seven and I'm male!
Daughter: [sings] Mouuthface, is what my friends call me, I'm looking for love on the trail!
-- Son -
Father: All right, on three. What's this trip all about? One, two, three!

[Said at the same time]

Horny Ox: I'm a monster!

Mother: Now kids, say a few words for your poor, foolish father, please.
Daughter: Pepperoni...
Son: And... cheese?
Mother: [pause] Yep. Y - yeah... couldn't have said it better myself. Pepperoni and cheese, amen.
-- Son -
Son: Oh wait, hold on, listen, Mom, listen. Now I'm all for a quick skinny dip, but if we go in there, we could die. Remember what everyone in Independence said? Friends don't let friends ford the river.
-- Son -
Son: Well, I guess it makes sense I'm the one dying of dysentery. I shouldn't have put all that shit in my mouth... especially that shit.
-- Son -
Son: [sings, taking clothes off] Splashy, splashy, there's nothing more fun / Than dropping trou and getting some sun / You can skinny if you're fat or old / Put Marco Polo in a wrestling hold
Father: There's his penis.
-- Son
