I'm sick of being pushed around by that dog! Charles atlas says he can make a real squirrel out of me! Squiggles: Boy! It took 5 years, but look at those muscles! He won't push me around again! Squiggles: Hey, dog! Poncho: Squiggles? Is that you? Poncho: Geez, I'm sure sorry about all the times I barked at you when I was younger. How you doin'? Did you make something special of yourself?
