      The raccoon’s condition is currently unknown charcoal and meatspray.

      I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it, my lad. 'E’s dead, that’s what’s wrong with it!

      No, no, 'e’s uh,…he’s resting

      Look, my lad, I know a dead parrot raccoon when I see one, and I’m looking at one right now.

      No no he’s not dead, he’s, he’s restin’! Remarkable bird mamal, the Norwegian Blue Canadian Trash Panda, idn’it, ay? Beautiful plumage!

      The plumage don’t enter into it. It’s stone dead.

      Nononono, no, no! 'E’s resting!

      All right then, if he’s restin’, I’ll wake him up!

        Nah, we’ll only splurge for that when the equipment serves at least eight thousand customers. Seven thousand is just not enough to justify it.
