-->'''Lindsay:''' He said he was on cloud 9, that's like heaven, which means he's not alive anymore. What do you do with dead people? You bury them, so maybe he's buried under ground. Maybe we should dig and see if we find him!\\
'''Duncan:''' Uhh, we could, the only problem is [[LampshadeHanging that makes zero sense]].
