Sprinkles: whispers excitedly. The buck on the left is winning. Scallop, prepare your wallet for emptying!

Scallop: tosses his nonexistent hat on the ground. C'MON! WE TRAINED SO HARD FOR THIS! THIS BRACKET IS SINGLE ELIMINATION, RIGHT DEER, I ****** SWEAR IF YOU LOSE THIS, I WILL RIP OFF YOUR ANTLERS!

Scallop: But the left one looked cooler...

Sprinkles: sighs. I give up. Ravioli, can I have a raise, a bottle of beer, and some alone time behind the tent?

Ravioli: If you promise to make me food AND quit interrupting my filming.

Sprinkles: Deal.

Scallop: can I get in on this deal too?
