"Hey, stop!" shouted Cubicle Seven.

"Look at me. What’s all the commotion?" asked Space 24.

"They never stop, just walk on by."

"I know, right?"

"Remember when they placed us here? They said we were memories."

"Remember when they told me they loved me?"

"You sound like a Karen Carpenter song."

"Hey, don’t be saying nothing about Karen Carpenter," shouted Cube 84.

"Zip it, Boomer, don’t make me come down there."

"Oh, I’m so scared, Sock Monkey, come on down here and I’ll show you a sock to the snozola."

"Why can’t y’all be friendly and fluffy like us rabbits?"

"Oh, speaking of that," said Push Toy, "where did all these rabbits come from?"

"Well, you know how rabbits are," said Cho-Cho.

"Hey, now, let’s not get tacky," chorused the 39 rabbits.

"Well, it’s not my fault," said Turquoise Rabbit. "They’ve got me in a dome, and I can’t get out."

Fighting and shouting broke out in the hallway.

"Ow!" I shouted, stepping on a ceramic rabbit.

"What is all this stuff on the floor?" she asked me.

"Oh, look, I just love this one. Remember when you gave it to me?"

"That was back when we were dating."
