  Rita Connors : Oh what's the matter, Merle? Did someone kidnap your mouse?

  Kath Maxwell : [trying to comfort her]  Merle, come on, your lunch.

  Merle Jones : I'm not hungry!

  Kath Maxwell : Oh, she lost her mouse.

  'Spike' Marsh : What?

  Merle Jones : Writing words and stuff

  'Spike' Marsh : It sure is, Merle.

  Merle Jones : And sometimes writing them isn't the hard part... sometimes you can't even think 'em.

  Merle Jones : Oh, words of how me and Muscles used to feel about each other.

  'Spike' Marsh : Well, you can. But... if they dont feel it or they dont know it...
