Doesn't belong to you, Buck.

Chimney

What's going on? Look at me. I'm a Smurf, and I need a root canal.

Hen

Pulse is steady. Pupils are normal. How long has this been going on?

The teeth since last week. The "Avatar" look since I woke up. And on top of that, I have to go to work today. On Christmas! I mean, what kind of loser has to work on Christmas? [looks at the 118] Right. Sorry.
