"You go first," said the one whose ears had been chewed off.

"Shame about those two, said one of the Bosses. "Who would have slipped them such powerful Mickeys?" asked the other....

' "I shall ask the Magic Egg to transport you back to the place you need to go next," Naomi said.

' "Quite sure--anyway the magic from the egg will wear off." "Is there any way to get an extension?" Naomi laughed. ...

' "Just as I'm holding you, just as you gave me magic, to separate friends would only be tragic."

' Is it possible that I'm no better than those I've criticized? I could be like Spike, which I truly don't like, or the bitt...

' "Hey--is there something going on between you two?" Kirby asked. "I just make music," said the Accordion Egg. ...
