Would you look at that - a talking goat!

Ben: Hey, goat! What are you doing just siting around there by the fence?

Goat: Ahhhhh, wise guy. . . I'm tied to it with a three foot rope! So pretty much my options are limited, you little. . .

Ben: So, you want me to untie you for a little while?

Goat: No, I'd love to sit on de asphalt all stinkin' day. . . Yes! Dat would be great! Would you untie me, fella, because my stinkin' hind legs, dey are frickin' cramped. . .

Ben: Hey, goat - I think you have a knot there on your face. . .

Goat: Eh?

Ben: A knot.

Goat: Oh that. Yeah. . . you better "knot" mention dat again, you little stinker. . .

Ben: [laughing]

Goat: So, eh. . . what else, fella? What are you doing? We should go get some beers and look at some girls or whatever. . .

Ben: Actually, me and my mommy were on our way to the Reggae Festival.

Goat: Oh, the eh. . . Ragu Festival? I heard about that thing on de AM radio. Yeah, sure. Sometimes the old man zookeeper passes out and leave de AM radio on, so I get to hear de oldies songs, you know, and some current events kind of things. It's not M-Tz, you know, like you kids listen to dese days, but it keeps me company. I don't watch de TV you know, because I'm not allowed in de house.

Ben: [laughing]

Goat: So you are going to go to de Ragu Festival, heh? Maybe I can tag along? That would be fun. We could do de mosh pit? Throw me around. Put me on de mosh pit, pass me around. Crank it up, Benjamin!

Ben: We only have two tickets.

Goat: [sad pause] Oh - that hurts.

Ben: Yeah, well. . . we're going to go anyway.

Goat: Nice, nice. You're going to go and have de good times, and I'm going to sit here on de asphalt. . . and stinkin'. . watch my tail get smaller.

Ben: Sorry, goat. But we gotta go now.

Goat: Hey maybe you can come tomorrow, you know, like eight o' clock, we can go dancing or something?

Ben: I don't know. . .

Goat: You should stop by.

Ben: You know, I'm kinda busy. . .

Goat: Ohhh, all right. . . I be busy too, sitting here on de asphalt with de rope tied around me. . .

Ben: All right, my mommy is calling me. I really gotta go.

Goat: Okay, okay, kid. Have good mosh-pitting!
