mind is like money in the bank'.

Cyril: Money in his bank!

He's making a fortune off
the hat franchise alone!

Pig1: And he scorns
material wealth, Sir.

Cyril: That's where
I've got the edge!

I'll meditate
myself to millions!

I'll buy a fleet of Swamis!

Pig2: Now, Sir,
remember, wild rages,

Pig1: And terrible tantrums..

I should've done a better
job of 'watching for rocks'.

Bert: Ha! Can Bert Raccoon
ride a trailbike!?

Ha-haa! I can ride
one blindfolded.
