Rat says, "What are you doing?" Pig says, "Going to 'The Quest for the Perfect Bea Arthur'? I'm taking my pal, Chan. ?He's always wanted to see it." Rat says, "Who's Bea Arthur?" Pig says, "The woman from 'Maude' and 'The Golden Girls'? the goal is to look like her, but not overdo it." Rat says, "How could you overdo it?" Pig says, "Some people dress exactly like she did on the shows. That looks too corny." Rat says, "So what do you try to do?" Pig says, "Be casual. You know, look like Bea Arthur, but not too like Bea Arthur... so do you think I overdid it?" Chan says, "I think you look like Bea Arthur." Pig says, "Yeah, but that's not what I'm shooting for. I'm shooting for the right amount of Bea Arthur." Chan says, "So what are you asking us?" Pig says, "Too Bea or not too Bea? That is the quest, Chan." Rat says, "Which one's your drawing hand?"
Looks like Rat doesn’t have the noble mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous puns, but instead takes arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing ends them.
