“Hurry up squaaaawk…hurry up Chuck!”
“What’s Murphy yapping about? …Oh my god! What happened?!”
“We’ve been robbed. They took my stereo system and my power tools!”
“Oh no! Did you call the police?”
“They’re on their way. And of course I’ve got Murphy here.”
“Murphy?”
“Yep! He’s our eye witness.”
“Wait! Do you think Murphy saw the robbers?”
“I do. When I came in he called them out by name. Chuck and…”
“Hurrying Pete. Stereo…pack the steeereeeoooo….aaack!”
“See what I mean?”
“Wow! Way to go Murph!”
“Murphy…hurry…Murphy up Chuck…Pete pack the power tools…stereoooo!”
“Brilliant! Murphy! You’re such a good boy!”
