Please don’t cry, Barbara!
You’re a nice manatee.
You’ve been so good to me.
But I must go into the world and do noble things for the good of all.
And you can’t come because you don’t speak French! Ore voi.

BARBARA
But if you leave, Bill,
who will take me to the ball?
Who’s going to take me to the ball, Bill?
I have a new dress and shoes and new manatee lipstick!
Who will take me to the Ball?

I’ll take you to the ball, Barbara Manatee!

Please don’t go!
