FLAME COW:

I am a cow who is Flame Cow. I sentence you to not be the beef, and I prefer Petra. Gringor, you will be eaten correctly in time if it is true that I am a cow who is Flame Cow.

GRINGOR STYNX:

Error 1416: An unexpected error occurred, and Script Applicator 4.0 was unable to compile the character dialogue driver for this character. Please try the dialogue driver compilation again. If the problem persists, reinstall Script Applicator 4.0. OK or Cancel?

MILKMAID PETRA:

FLAME COW:

I am a cow who is Flame Cow. Petra prefers beef, but Gringor is uncompiled. This is to my advantage, being a cow who is Flame Cow. The motivation of a cow who is Flame Cow is clear, and we insert a new beat here. I hospitalize Gringor to make him tender for the eating in a later scene. Come back.

INT. HOSPITAL TENDERIZATION UNIT, NIGHT....
