AGENORA: Those evil-minded proph-profs like to stir
up trouble by pretending dreams come true.
They don't, so there.

TALIPED: It isn't hard for you

COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN: [TO MAILMAN]
She hasn't had for years.

MAILMAN: That's nice.

TALIPED: The worse
of those two prophecies might snag me yet:
I can't kill my old man, but I might get

MAILMAN:Isthatyour problem, Dean?

TALIPED: That's one.

MAILMAN: Then I've
got news for you. You don't know me, but I
know you from way back when. That nice old guy
in Isthmus and his wife, that used to call
youSonny,weren't your mom and dad at all.

TALIPED: They weren't?

MAILMAN: No. You needn't have skipped out.
