You do remember that we lick our butts every day? / Ebenezer: Not for sustenance!!! / Snooch: I'm just saying-- / Ebenezer: Shut up. Just shut up.

I am the Ghost of Christmas Past, here to show you how you used to be. / Eben: A cute, innocent kitten? / Ghost: Please, you were megalomaniacal from birth. Now follow me. / Eben: Forget it.
