“No, Gerry Dorsey! I like Gerry Dorsey!”
“No, we can’t, who we got? Zingelbert Bembledack, Tringelbert Wangledack, Slut Bunwalla, Klingybun Fistelvase, Dindlebert Zindledack, Gerry Dorsey, Engelbert Humptyback, Zengelbert Bingledack, Engelbert Humperdinck, Vingelbert Wingledanck –”

“No, no, go back one!”
“Engelbert Humperdinck?!”
“That’s it!”
