| 0:00.0 | This story might have ended a lot differently if this kangaroo got his own bedroom and, like, maybe a PlayStation. |
| 0:04.7 | Bruch! Hit it, boys! |
| 0:22.7 | Well, that didn't take long. |
| 0:26.0 | A kangaroo has murdered his owner, Pete. |
| 0:29.1 | What a, what a take by you, huh? |
