"Hey, Jim, what are you doing?"

"I'm digging a tunnel out of here, Jack. I'm sick of this place."

"But Jim, we're goldfish. Where do you think you're going to go?"

"I don't know, anywhere but here. You with me?"

"I don't think that's such a good idea, Jim. I mean, we don't even have legs to run with."

"I'll flop my way to freedom if I have to, Jack. You can stay here if you want."

"Suit yourself, Jim. I'll just stay here and enjoy my bubbles."

(Splash)

"Jim! You made it out!"

"I did it, Jack! I'm free!"

(Seagull screech)

"Uh-oh."

(Chomp)

The end.
