| 0:00.0 | If you're one of those real fancy parties with the swirly drinks, then everybody's dressed up. They're very, very best. It's in |
| 0:21.3 | like a big hall or something. There's a music with live string quartet playing there or something. And then somebody walks in and they're, they got like the puffy pants on and they have one of those banging sticks, like a spear where you hit the butt of the spear on the ground to get everybody's attention, they walk in and they, |
| 0:38.7 | ton, ton, turn, turn. They bang the bangy stick. |
| 0:40.9 | And they're like, you're a a spear where you hit the butt of the spear on the ground to get everybody's attention. |
| 0:37.9 | And they walk in and they, they bang, ton, turn, turn. |
