[farkle]

Well, someone had to be the pioneer of the future. Look where he's at now.

[hitthebrokenroad]

Rich famous and upgraded to Count Chocula?

[farkle]

And practically owns corporate America, yeah.

[hitthebrokenroad]

Giving away penguins every chance he gets, I know.

[farkle]

Are you jealous you don't have a penguin yet? I can hook you up.

[hitthebrokenroad]

Nah. I can in no way provide a stable home for an arctic bird.

[farkle]

Too bad. We have plenty of extras.

[hitthebrokenroad]

You know, there's this thing called wildlife preserves.

[farkle]

We have those, too, in the south and north poles. But everyone these days wants penguins.

[hitthebrokenroad]

People wanting penguins doesn't mean people should get penguins.

[farkle]

We remind them to refrigerate them.

[hitthebrokenroad]

You think that's even remotely the same?

[farkle]

Hey, we give the people what they want. Customer satisfaction.

[hitthebrokenroad]

You know kid, if you really want to rule the world you really ought to pay more attention to what the world actually needs.

[farkle]

I do, I am. Penguins are just for fun. People need a good Earth to live on. Penguins aren't the only important things to them.

[hitthebrokenroad]

People aren't the only things that need a good planet.

[farkle]

Yeah? And did you know most of our Penguins were rescued from oil spills? We make sure they get cleaned up and the area they're from. [ JUST GOING WITH IT UNTIL CANON DISPROVES. ] Most of them we send back to the wild after.

[hitthebrokenroad]

I did not, actually. That your dad's idea, or your mom's?

[farkle]

Dad's, but mom will say she helped.

[hitthebrokenroad]

Did she?

[farkle]

No idea, but I'm gonna go with yes.

[ because who denies jennifer bassett? ]

[hitthebrokenroad]

[ Shawn Hunter? ]

Good.

[farkle]

It's the only acceptable answer when she's concerned.

[hitthebrokenroad]

She ever talk about me? [ If so, he can't imagine it's good. ]

[farkle]

Nope, not one word.

[ which she might, but let's have fun with this a bit longer okay. ]
