Is it no longer on fire, I hope?
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Call the dolphins. They'll know what to do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

After capturing the dolphins from the ocean, Lindell and his colleagues tagged them and placed them under the intense, high-wattage lights of a moisture-proof lab. The researchers then administered an extensive battery of tests designed to measure everything from the dolphins' self-awareness to their aptitude for writing and reading comprehension.
"Dolphins have a popular reputation for being excellent communicators," Lindell said. "But our study group offered only three types of response to every question we posed: a nonsensical, labored wheezing, an earsplitting barrage of unintelligible high-pitched shrieks, and in extreme cases, a shrill, distressed scream."

Well, it was only throwing off blue flames for a second or two. IT suggested we unplug it. We suggested THEY unplug it. After 20 minutes someone came but, like, he has to go home now so we're waiting for the building engineers...

Dolphins are bright. Dolphins are dumb.
The science behind the Dumb proposition seeemd specious compared to all the observed phenomena of the Bright camp.

Too late, then.

The engineers have arrived. They turned the power back on to the office. Why does this seem like a good idea?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm getting annoyed. The person I think I may be having dinner with tonight hasn't gotten back to me.
