"Ferdinand."
"Oh Ferdinand."
"Ferdinand!"
"What?"
"Ferdinand we're hungry. Ferdinand we have been sitting in this jar for days without a drop to eat or drink."
"Well...!
"Ferdi?"
"Yes?"
"We are sooooo very very peckish."
"Ferdi you look very handsome."
"Very full-bodied."
"A red blooded male no less."
"A real hunk."
"Excuse me but are all of you lot female fleas?"
"Ferdinand let us introduce ourselves."
"Fiona; hello Ferdinand. "
"And I'm Fifi."
"I'm Faye."
"Fanny here. "
"And I'm Flora."
"Aha thought so! I sometimes count six but you all fidget so much!"
"...And this is Frederick."
"Hi Ferd."


"Ferdinand. You're our agent we require...! And a decent place to live. 70% of the profits...! Top billing...! And...! And ...! Also.....! And in addition...! We also want... and want... want, want, WANT!"

"Ferdi, you got it in one."
"Blood suckers."
