[Ta giggles, and the Misfits all stop and turn, staring at Ta]
Atouk : [Angrily] Ca-ca.
Nook : [looking with disgust at his fingers and then right into the camera] Shit.
[the Misfits all grab Ta and throw him into the doo-doo]

Atouk : [as Bork holds up the corpse of a slain bird-like creature] Ool?

Nook : Friend.
Atouk : "Fend"? *Bobo*!
Lar : [slowly and exaggeratedly] Bobo.
[others repeat, "Bobo."]
Atouk : [getting that Nook has different words, challenges him to a definition battle] "Alounda."
Nook : "Love."
Atouk : "Zug-zug."
