ER, THE USUAL, PLEASE.

HELLO? IS THIS THE PLACE
WHERE YOU ORDER BOOKS FROM

NO, THAT'S ABSURD.
THINK, BERNARD, THINK!

NO.

'THE MANNSTER! '

(HUMMING)

NO. QUESTION.

- WE'RE CLOSED.
- WE'RE CLOSED!

BLUHHH...

- RIGHT.
- GOOD THINKING.

NEVER MIND. I'M SURE YOU LEFT
A BUNSEN BURNER BEHIND.

- WHY DOES HE WANT ME TO GO?
- HE SEE YOUR PICTURE.

I CAN'T PLAY THIS EITHER
BUT IT MIGHT BE LESS OBVIOUS.

MANNY! MANNY!

- THIS IS MR, ERM...
- AHH.

AND MAYBE I INTRODUCED THEM
TO EACH OTHER.

TO GET A GIRLFRIEND IF YOU'RE ME,
WHICH YOU'RE NOT.

TO SOUND OUT ANY GRIEVANCES.

THE BOSS IS AWAY. EVEN BETTER!

(DOOR OPENS)

OH, NO! IT'S GONE!

YOU'D SHATTER THE MAGIC
FOR THE LOVELY CHILDREN,

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH MY MIND!

FORGET IT. SHE WAS NEVER YOUR GIRLFRIEND.
