Donkey says I WAS AFRAID SIR BOUNCE-A-LOT WOULD NEVER STOP BOUNCING.
Bob Dog says, BUT THAT'S OKAY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MAKES SIR BOUNCE-A-LOT... SIR BOUNCE-A-LOT. AND THAT'S WHY HE'S MY FAVOURITE.
Donkey picks up her ball.
Donkey says, HEE-HAW. TO THE BEST BALL FEST!
Bob Dog says, YES!

At the Best Ball Fest, Turtle Lou, Duck Duck, Harriet, and Panda hold balls.
Turtle Lou says, ALL OF THE RUBBER BANDS FROM ALL MY SPEEDY DELIVERIES.
Harriet says, HM, LOOK AT THAT. MINE'S GEODESIC-- OH, HEY THERE, DONKEY. HEY THERE, BOB DOG. OH, BOB DOG, EVERYBODY HERE WANTS TO KNOW WHICH BALL IS YOUR FAVOURITE.

Duck Duck says, WHOA, HEY, HEY, TELL US. HOW DID YOU PICK YOUR FAVOURITE BALL, HUH?
Bob Dog says, WELL, WITH DONKEY'S HELP, I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT I LIKE AND DON'T LIKE ABOUT EACH BALL. AND THAT HELPED ME FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE I LIKE THE MOST.
Harriett says, OOH, THAT'S A CLEVER DOG RIGHT THERE.
Duck Duck says, OH YEAH.
