[The dwarves are examining their newly cleaned kitchen.] 
Sneezy: Hey, someone stole our dishes! 
Happy: They ain't stole. They're hid in the cupboard. 
Bashful: My cup's been washed. Sugar's gone. 
Happy: [sees a pot cooking over the fireplace] Something's cooking. [sniffs] Smells good. 
[He and Dopey walk towards it; Grumpy jumps in front of them.]

Sings not all his garnered wisdom;

Than to sing them out of season."

The Ultimate Question, part 275

The man had a smooth voice, like velvet. “I’m Detective Inspector Me. Unusual name, I know. My family were incredibly narcissistic. I’m lucky I escaped with any degree of humility at all, to be honest, but then I’ve always managed to exceed expectations. You are Kenny Dunne, are you not?”
   “I am.”
   “Just a few questions for you, Mr Dunne. Or Kenny. Can I call you Kenny? I feel we’ve become friends these past few seconds. Can I call you Kenny?”
   “Sure,” Kenny said, slightly baffled.
   “Thank you. Thank you very much. It’s important you feel comfortable around me, Kenny. It’s important we build up a level of trust. That way I’ll catch you completely unprepared when I suddenly accuse you of murder.”
