The Fanciest of Flying Rats

On various pets . . .

Sally: I don't get why people have birds as pets. I mean, I like birds, don't get me wrong. I think they're cute. But I just don't get them as a pet. 

Curtis: They can be really sweet.

Sally: Sweet? Sweet how?

Curtis: Parrots close their eyes when you're scratching them.

Sally: Is that your criteria for cuteness? Eye closing?

Curtis: I don't know. They're just cute.

Sally: I'd get a kiwi. Kiwis are cute.

Curtis: They're blind, you know.

Sally: No, I didn't know that. [pause] I'd have a Victoria Crowned Pigeon.

Curtis: A what?

Sally: A Victoria Crowned Pigeon.

Curtis: That sounds like the fussiest fussy thing ever.

Sally: It IS.

See?
