Bill - I've got one word for you, Jim. Raviolis.
Jim - Raviolis? Like, as in...
Bill -The noodle. Yep.
Jim - O...Kay. I mean, that's kind of random.
Bill - Look, Jimmy. Jim-meister. Have I ever steered you wrong?
Jim - What about Birdo? I get the feeling you're not even trying anymore.
Bill - Don't bring Birdo into this, dammit! She's just too complex a character. Gamers just weren't ready for such depth. I don't understand your problem with the ravioli enemy.
Jim - It just seems a little weak. Why doesn't Mario just eat him?
Bill - Because he's made of stone.
Jim - Really. Oh, well you didn't mention the stone...
Bill - Yeah. Loads of stone. And a horn.
Jim - No Way! Is the horn stone too?!
Bill - Yeah. Definitely some stone in that horn.
Jim - That's ace! You're a genius. I'm sorry for doubting you.
Bill - It's cool, I knew you'd come around.
Jim - What are you thinking of naming it?
Bill - Raviolis make a thwomping sound when they hit things. How about Thwomp?
Jim - I hate you.
