Zorak:
Everyone knows the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. Now let's hear ... the rest of ... the story.

When he was small, George Washington received a hatchet for his birthday. He promptly walked to his neighbor's yard and chopped down a cherry tree. "George, why did you do that?" the neighbor asked.

Zorak:
Mmmm, termites.
Brak:
Zorak doesn't even have any teeth, do you, Zorak?
Zorak:
Nnnnnope.

How do you chew your food?

Zorak:

Brak:
Now you know ... the rest ... of the story. Good day.
