Dr. Batorious (announcing): One's a cute 'Peanuts'
character, one's just plain cute. Presenting the awards for "Best Joke/Use
Of Humor" are Schroeder and Binky.
::The audience applauds as Gadget leaves and returns with Bink. She guides the
toddler squirrel up the podium, then walks off, waving goodbye to everyone::
Schroeder: Okay, 'jokes'. Jokes are like these humorous statements—they're
there to keep things from getting oh-so-serious.
::Binky sucks on her pacifier, saying nothing::
Schroeder: Yeah, like you slip on a banana peel, or you say something about
chickens crossing the road...
::Binky again sucks on her pacifier, saying nothing::
Schroeder: Ah, I see...a squirrel of few words...y'know,
I admire that...
::Schroeder starts to get fidgety::
Binky: Cookie?!
Schroeder: *to audience* Oog...I *gotta*
see my agent about this!
::The audience laughs::
Schroeder: And here are the nominees.
