JERRY: And what is the purpose of your visit?
MAN: (pointing to the stuffed animal on his head) I’d like to get this removed,
please.
JERRY: You’d like what removed?
MAN: The stuffed animal that’s on my head.
PHIL: It’s a lion.
MAN: I’d like the stuffed lion removed from my head. How soon can I get it
done?
JERRY: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We have a lot of questions that need
to be answered before we discuss removal.
PHIL: Why don’t you tell us why you’d like to undergo such a painful operation
to remove something that’s sooooo cute and cuddly?
MAN: Because I’m really not interested in having a stuffed animal on my head.
JERRY: Before we move any further I’m under obligation to tell you that the
removal procedure is potentially life-threatening.
