[Waving a stuffed animal in front of Freddy]

Come on, Freddy! Come on!

Don't do that.. you're confusing him.

Messiah
[Freddy growls.]

The dog has spoken.

Yan

They feed him t-bone steak and he refuses to come back.

Kneller

Freddy has been brainwashed.

Kneller

T-bone steak?

Yan

16 ounces, thick cut.

Kneller

Dammit.

Zia

He was floating in the air..

Kneller

I wouldn't pay attention to what happens all the time around here.

Zia

What happens? Miracles?

Kneller

Yeah. People floating in the air, like, uh, people turning stones into plants, or, changing the color of different objects.

Zia

Fixing the headlights, maybe?

Kneller

What do you mean, fixing the headlights?

Zia
[To Kneller]

His headlights have been broken for ages, and she fixed them not far from here just by touching a button.

Kneller

Oh. Yeah, something small and insignificant like that.

Kneller

Once upon a time there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. And they grew next to each other. And every day the straight tree would look at the crooked tree and he would say, "You're crooked. You've always been crooked and you'll continue to be crooked. But look at me! Look at me!" said the straight tree. He said, "I'm tall and I'm straight." And then one day the lumberjacks came into the forest and looked around, and the manager in charge said, "Cut all the straight trees." And that crooked tree is still there to this day, growing strong and growing strange.
