Lana: No, Geo! We can’t be best friends again! I’m not going to go…

Geo: Lana, vait! De ticket is in your name, so it is no good if you don’t come…

Lana: What do you mean the ticket is in my name? Why would you buy a ticket in my name? I’m supposed to be on tour right now…

Geo: But I tought vit de parrot gone…

Silence.

Lana: Geo, do you know anything about Einstein? Geo, what did you do? [Long pause] Geo, you’re right. I miss you. We should be best friends again. I would love to go with you to Canada, but unfortunately I can’t, until Einstein’s safe. If Einstein was safe, then I could take a little time off and go with you. So, Geo, if you know anything about Einstein, like where he is, then that would help. I just have to find him, you see, and then we could go to Canada. Geo, do you know where Einstein is?

Geo: I don’t know noting about dat stupid bird! [Click]
