Ned and Pons meet up with Pez and Pallas at a bus stop.
Pons: The bus is late today, Ned. I hope we can get to Uncle Anzo's place on time.
Ned: This bus goes to his house?
Pons: No, Ned. It goes to the bus station in his town. Then we'll need to catch a taxicab to his place.
Pez: Hey, buddy. Does this bus go to Lapp City?
Pallas: It was supposed to have been here by now.
Pons: It must be running late.
Ned: It usually goes to my Uncle Anzo's place, but we hafta catch a toxic cab first.
Pez: Huh?
Pallas: Did you say a toxic cab? What's that?
Pons: He misunderstood me from before. We're catching a cab.
Ned: Ya'd think someone woulda rounded 'em up ahead a time.
Pez: Huh?
Pallas: Is there some kind of hazardous spill or something in Lapp City?
Pons: No. Ned just didn't get what I told him earlier.
Ned: Our uncle lives there.
Pez: You say his name is Anzo?
Pallas: We have an old friend of our dad's who lived in Lapp City; his name was Anzo.
Pons: Well, that's a coincidence. I would think he's the same person. How many Anzos could there be in Lapp City?
Ned: That would be a pozer fer sure, Pons. If we got to Lapp City and only knowd 'is first name, we'd have to check out ev'ry feller named Anzo in the whole town.
Pez: Looking at Pons. Is this guy an idiot?
Pallas: Looking at Pez. Is that a real question? Because I can pretty much tell you right now he is definitely an idiot.
Pons: Looking at both brothers with a stern face. You two are pretty common. How about keeping your mouths shut.
Ned: We playin' a game, Pons. I tried keepin' my mouth shut once, but the bug kep' ticklin' my tongue and I hadta spit 'im out.
Pez: Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot, than to open it and remove all doubt.
Pallas: That's Twain.
Pons: You are about to get hurt.
Ned: There a train comin', fellers? I thunk this here was a bus stop.
Pez: Okay, dude. I was out of line. Your friend here just caught me by surprise.
Pallas: We didn't know he was, y'know, whatever.
Pons: He's not.
Ned: I wonner if we was sposed ta ketch the toxic cab ta Lapp City and then git on the bus.
Pez: Chuckling and looking at Pallas. Oh, yeah. That's probably it.
Pallas: Yup, should have called a cab. Smiling and looking at Pons.
Pons: Looking to Ned. C'mon, Ned. We WILL catch a cab and go straight to Uncle Anzo's. Forget the bus.
Ned: Okeedoke. Fergettin' things is what I do bestest. The two walk off.
Pez: I'm glad we didn't have to beat that guy up.
Pallas: Yeah. Plus his goofy friend might have killed us.
Pez: We probably should have told them that Anzo died a month ago.
Pallas: Well, Anzo Morella died. They might be looking for Anzo Jones or Smith.
Pez: Looking at his younger brother and smiling. Maybe so -- Ned.
