they just need help scaring
8:35
those eggs out. So. Scully
8:37
went back to work, doing his
8:39
best to scare. Barbara said
8:41
or any of the chickens but
8:44
he didn't manage one single spook
8:46
and cause uncle came to pick

said. Guess uncle summoning a few
9:12
horses out of. Then. A Kindle kind of
9:14
a little. More. Just
9:17
don't think being evil is the
9:19
best way to motivate our coworkers.

9:24
it's done. You'll do better after
9:26

14:18
people at the same time. No,
14:21

Alabaster Zero. That's good, cause the
14:25
story needed another deep voice. You can
14:28
say that again. I don't think he

15:09
hurt cause they're full of eggs. Yeah,
15:11
our faces hurt from all of you
15:13

15:15
I just throw my boot at the Nikindel
15:18
Con, then I'll just hop on one boot
15:20
until the magic is fixed. Well, I don't
15:22
know about that. Brrrr. Brrrr.
15:25
Brrrr. Brrrr. I'm

the Nikindel Con safely. Uh,
15:38

15:41
stone tablet somehow. That's weird.
