Jelly
How can a beautiful lady like me love a puppy? I do not want it.

(Jelly looks to him and smiles.)
Jelly
You are so smart! you want to be my puppy, and kiss.

The man
(Proudly) Oh! You are so kind to me. It is a nice gift to me. I will take it to my home and worship it. Can I do, Queen!
(The queen looks to him with smile, shakes her head in affirmation. The man goes back to his place, having his shoe at his heart.)
John
For a good kingdom, it is important to have the subject dissatisfied. If they have enough to eat, they will start thinking and a thinking subject is never good for an empire and its activity. (He holds her hands and she open her another shoe and kicks more than sixty times. All the units realized the seriousness. and the director was very calm to see the scene, as if he was not watching the scene. All the fours cameras are moving all around the hall according to a plan way, and director was very much free. All his assist dogs are just watching the one way fighting. When Jelly flowed all her beating energy over the Bishop and exhausted she looked to the director. She throw the shoe to the painting and breaks it….
Iner cut....
