ZCROSS.SVL.002

Drew: "We have to get into the Fish-Flushing facility, otherwise… otherwise… oh, yeah! We'll be unable to win the sole fish and retrieve the sacred 'Promotional Parchment Of Significance'."

WACINDBL.SVL.113

Woof: "Well... why didn't you say so before? Heck, why just one safe?"

WACINDBL.SVL.114

Woof: "I'll tell you what... why don't I give you the combination of every safe we've ever sold... tell you who they belong to... and give you a lift to their homes, so you can more easily plunder our valued customers' precious trinkets, eh?"

WACINDBL.SVL.115

Be it known that, in adventuring through the illustrious land of Zanydu, the bearer of this Most Significant Parchment has gone below and beyond the call of duty, manipulating dogs, clocks, Security Professionals, and toilets with skill, finesse, and a decided lack of taste."

OUTHSDBL.SVL.007

Drew: "Furthermore, should aforementioned bearer wish to continue this lunacy, said bearer should be sure to use the enclosed five dollar rebate."
