17:30Oh, gosh

20:15Pretty nasty, huh?
20:18Well, kind of, but did you have to bring him, too?

20:54Oh, no. Where do we go now?
20:57Come on, guys. This way.
21:00Yes.
21:03Walloping web-slingers.
21:05I've heard of raining cats and dogs, but pigs and bears never.
21:09Come on, everybody. It's here.
21:15Somebody do something.
21:18Oh, ha-ha.

21:28Nanny.
21:30Oh, boy, are we glad to see you, Nanny.
21:33And I'm glad to see you, too, Gonzo.
21:35Ready to read the funny papers now?
21:37Sure, Nanny.
21:38But we want to read them to you.
21:41What?
21:42Uh-huh.
21:42We found out that we can make up really great stories.
21:45Just by looking at the funny pictures.
21:48Well, that sounds wonderful, kids.
21:50I can hardly wait.
21:52You can come and get me as soon as you clean up the mess in this hallway.
21:56Huh?
21:59Gonzo!
22:01Gonzo?
22:03Gonzo!
22:03Gonzo!
22:04Gonzo!
22:06This cadet Gonzo skulked into the darkened chamber to escape the angry fort behind him,
22:13not sure if he would ever see the nursery again.
22:20Shoosh.
22:38Hey, hang in there, dudes, cause that cool cat and his buds are on the loose.
22:43That's right, it's Garfield and Friends on Kid TV, next.
23:07Hey, look, huh?
23:10Wow, it's Spider-Man.
23:12Not Spider-Man, Spider-Animal.
23:17Ow! Hey, Animal, what's going on?
23:20Me not know.
23:23Uh, Animal, I see we have a little problem here. What do you say?
23:30Oh, bye-bye.
