01:35:06 [Tristan]: i didn't realise such things existed!
01:35:16 [Tristan]: you should capture him and put him in a zoo!

Shoshana: "Hey, this seahorse looks like it's pregnant."
Josh: "Well, I don't know—it says here that it's a 'pot-bellied seahorse.'"

20:28:28 [Amanda]: i think he looks like a chicken
