Charles Rogers:
Um, yes. Here’s my coupon.
Cashier:
Okay, thanks. Sure you don’t want that other deal…
Charles Rogers:
No, this is fine.
Anne Nickles:
Charles Rogers, is that you? The Charles Rogers?
Charles Rogers: I never get greeted like that. They think I’m a Tony
Blair look-alike.
Anne Nickles:
I’m Anne Nickles, former Ty Inc. spokesperson. I heard you quit your job, too.
Charles Rogers:
Yeah, I used to work for Chubbley, and now I buy my food here. I used to have
it all, but with that stupid war going on… I mean, can Beanie Babies and
Chubbley Bears even communicate with each other? The only things I hear from
them are “Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba!”
Anne Nickles:
And I think I heard Nuts say, “Can I have a cookie?”
Charles Rogers: This is so weird. I mean, the Chubbley Bears talk to
each other, I watch their home movies, when I actually hear them speak, it’s to
go “GRRRR!”
Anne Nickles:
I had to deal with that so many times with Peace and Halo and all those bears.
I’m like their little baby-sitter.
Charles Rogers: Those
little Chubbley Bears, they’re so batty. They’re so plump and fat, and they
have these weird little eyes. It tells me something – they want me to be their
chef. I’m commanding their milit’ry. The least they can do is give me a few
pounds so I can buy my Teethbrushers Weekly.
Anne Nickles:
When Ty released that 1999 line-up I knew I had done something wrong because
Spangle and Osito, originally it was going to be the other way around with
Spangle as a USA exclusive and Osito being able to find everywhere. I changed
them around!
Charles Rogers:
Well, I started out in the UK, and originally George wasn’t going to be a UK
exclusive, Jubilee was! Like your Celebrations!
Anne Nickles: I ruined that even more by letting Australia and Canada
feast on it.
Charles Rogers:
Didn’t you also let a part of Australia, you know, feast on it?
Anne Nickles: I never tell anyone about New Zealand anymore. They’re
just like the Aussies. “Oh, mate, why do we talk like this? Is this the way
they talk in Old Zealand?”
Charles Rogers:
I heard on BBC News that the Chubbley Bears want to attack the Countin’ Sheep
before the Beanies do because people want to think the Chubbley Bears are
supreme.
Anne Nickles:
Well, I don’t care. It’s not my business anymore. Let Ty handle it. He started
the company and this is his first war since 1991, when he defeated the Cabbage
Patch Kids in Operation Cabbage Patch Storm.
Charles Rogers: What
a guy, this Ty is. Where is he located?
Anne Nickles: Don’t bother trying. He never lets anyone in. Especially
since you’re from a competing company…
Charles Rogers:
I’m not anymore. I quit. I resigned. That’s it. Ta-ta. Boop.
Cashier:
Um, is it okay if you two went and talked someplace else? I really have a long
line here and it’s because of you two yapping away.
Anne Nickles:
They can go on other lines.
Cashier:
My line’s the only one open! Move it!
Charles Rogers: What’s that, governor?
Cashier: What are you talking about, fancy pants? You want to fight me?
Well, this is my job! I don’t pick fights or I get fired!
Anne Nickles: I’m
sorry, please excuse Charles. He worked with the Chubbley Corporation.
Cashier:
Oh, the Chubbleys? Never heard of them, don’t care.
Charles Rogers: We’re competing with that Ty Warner
and his little cute and cuddly Beanies. I used to work with Chubbley.
Cashier: Oh. Can you go already?
Charles Rogers: Hmm, fine. Anne, it was nice meeting you again, and hope
we can be friends.
Anne Nickles: You too. You know, it’s funny, Ty is running the company good without me. Wonder if I was wrong about no Billionaire 6?
Charles Rogers: Maybe… unless I copy that idea. Goodbye.
Anne Nickles: Nice meeting you.
Cashier: Yeah, come on. Stop the chatter. Yes?
Cabbage Patch Doll: I’m a Cabbage Patch Kid… well, not really a kid anymore, since I was born in the 80’s.
Cashier: Here we go again.
