L: Vive la pursuit Bro, vive la pursuit…Hunters gotta hunt.
KD: Just remember, the prey has choices too.
Ken-Dogger: "Okay today class we will be discussing the concept called over-exertion. This happens when those who don't know their limits, exceed their limits. This is an example of over-exertion in the canine world."

Ken-Dogger: "Yes, yes, you can call it played out..."

Mongo: "KD, I just get this swashbuckling thing down a little more and I'm takin' on the persona of BEAGLE ZORRO..."
Ken-Dogger: "Mongo, certainly appreciate the effort, what are you planning?"
Mongo: "Dude, I'm learning how to fight cause I'm takin' back this country from this degradation, and you peeps seem like lambs headed for the slaughter..."
