Skar :  Zora is now planning on becoming the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
 
MauMau: I will be the President of Defense.
 
Betty: Secretary of Defense?

MauMau: I'm no preacher either.

Skar : (smirking)  Alaska, MauMau. I will be the Secretary of Alaska. 
 
AA :  Does anyone have any idea where GED went?
 
AB  :  Ned was missing, then he returned and GED was missing. 
 
Pons : Like they changed places.
 
AA :  Did you see the detectives? I wonder if one is the clone of the other.
 
Betty: Ned said they are twins.
 
AB  :  My guess is that one is a Martian, and the other its look-a-like android.
 
MauMau: Well sure, but which is which?
 
AA :  I feel a poem coming on.
 
Pons : Let's make up a joint poem that we all contribute to.
