Liz "............. Wow. I wonder why............"
Ashley "Did something happen?"
Liz "Wow. There's a lot they don't teach at school."
Ashley "Just give a short explanation."
Liz "In the back of the mouth, in fact, pretty far back, there's a switch. Just imagining the switch and the hand intercepted by the block makes me quiver."


Ashley "Hmm............ I can't reach it."
Liz "Ha. Ha. Ha! So..........sorry."
Ashley "What is it this time?"
Liz "This is terrible. I just came up with a brilliant idea!"
Ashley "I hate to interrupt your glee, but if you have a solution, tell me."
Liz "Oh, it's easy, really. If we use our graceful tails and stay flexible, the rest is easy."
Ashley "Please.
I hate saying this after asking for help, but please, don't make things worse."
Liz "Remember that 'gentleness' is one of our talents after 'kindness'. I'm leaving it up to you, Ard! Time to show your power!"
Ard "Ar........Ard!"


Ashley "Your partner seems to be complaining about something."
Liz "It seems.... If you take calcium before bed, the absorption is best. No one fusses like Lizard."
Ashley "Look at you, at your age, crying and complaining.........in public like that. There's no need for it."


Liz "At any rate........ It seems his tail got caught in the switch. How do you propose we proceed?"
(We could just let him die. That's one possibility. I mean, the guy has lived long enough already.)
Ashley "Th-that's instigation of murder! Don't drag us into your crazy plans! Let's just hurry and save him."
Liz "Yeah....not long ago, you would've deserted me, a No. 1 scientist."


Ard "Ard.........Ard."


Ard "Ard.........Ard, Ard. Ard. Ard. Ard, Ard, Ard, Ard!"


Ard "Ard.........Ard, ArArAr. Ard, Ar-d!"
Liz "He's very 'grateful' for the rescue. Now this is a top-notch human drama unfolding."
Ashley "It seems like one problem turns into 10 problems..........which turn into 20 problems. How do you manage to stir up so much trouble?"
Liz "Is trouble like a bamboo shoot, sprouting up everywhere?"
Ashley "Or is trouble like a snowball, growing bigger and bigger?"
