You, uh...you look the same.

Either you have it or you don't, little miss.

I learned it playing chess.
Gregory: I know.
[ Chuckles ] Momo: Can I ask you something?
Gregory: Hmm?
Momo: Why do you have my name tattooed on your wrist?

[ Down-tempo music plays ] [ Groaning ] [ Door closes ] Sandwich: Hurry.
Put him over here.
Carrot: I can't believe I found him.
I thought he was a goner after he took a left at the deep fryer.
Sandwich: Wait.
He wasn't bitten, was he?
Carrot: No, no.
He was hidden.
He's clean.
Must have gotten hit in the head and passed out, though.
I think he lost a few chips.
