  Berrykin Bill : Is everything alright, Berrykin Bloom?

  Berrykin Bloom : Alright? How can it be alright when that Slinking Slinker is slinking about?

  Berrykin Bill : Slinking Slinker? Hmm... that doesn't sound good.

  Berrykin Bloom : Umph, I should say! Slinking Slinkers are only the most terrifying creastures in existence! I read it in a science book!
