"In the first verse, he's rapping as the character B-Rabbit, and there is a movie-- I'll grant you that." "Thank yer." "But in the second verse, the perspective switches to that of Eminem, the real-life rapping actor." "So therefore, the lyrics stand." "There is no movie." "There is no Mekhi Phifer." "All right." "Point taken." "Wait a second." "Hold on." "If, in the second verse, he's rapping as Eminem," "then it's real life, correct?" "Correct."

"Between us, Timothy, blink if he actually got murdered." "Sir, I have to blink, but it doesn't indicate a guest was murdered." "Is that clear?" "Yep." "Totally clear." "Okay, seriously, nobody got murdered." "Oh, no, we understand." "Okay." "Enjoy your stay." "Hey, and thanks for being up-front about the whole murder thing." "We'll keep that between us." "Man, I hope we get some Alfred the Ghost action." "Wouldn't that be awesome?" "Yeah, but, to be honest," "I don't really believe in ghosts." "What?" "Why?"

"They have distinct personalities and opinions, and" "Wait, hold on." "Octopuses don't have opinions." "That can't be true." "There's not, like, an octopus that believes in mandatory minimum sentences and then another octopus that feels like rehabilitation is key." "I mean, if there were jails in the ocean and that was a political policy introduced into their ecosystem, yeah, they might have an opinion about it." "Um... so is there enough stuff here for you to eat?" "Yeah, I'll figure something out." "I'll just order off the sides menu." "I love sides." "Okay." "Man, that's a pretty big bombshell to drop, Rachel." "Eating is a big part of dating, and if you got this strict diet, we're gonna run into problems going splitsies." "Even now," "I got to pick between the ribs and the chicken." "I want to try them both, but I can't." "That's hard."
