The Arrival of the Quantum Deer
Kasper Gutman: "You're a close-mouthed deer?"

[sits back]
Kasper Gutman: "Now, deer. We'll talk, if you like. I'll tell you right out, I am a man who likes talking to a deer who likes to talk."
Deer: "Swell. Will we talk about the yellow wall?"

Jailbreak
There was a Zebra of mine on murder
And the judge's gavel fell
Jury found it guilty
Gave the Zebra sixteen years in hell
The Zebra said "I ain't spending my life here
I ain't living alone
Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang
I'm breakin' out and headin' home
Gonna make a jailbreak
Got to be free
Jailbreak, let me out of here
Jailbreak, sixteen years
Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak, yeah"
