Hey Riley, yeah, what did you have? Paps Blue Ribbon, what else? Tastes that flavour, smooth and light, the beer that leaves no after bite, the beer that always tastes just right is Paps Blue Ribbon beer.

Oh, right, so it will be a few minutes late. There won't be nothing left. I haven't eaten all day on purpose. I've been counting on his party. Hurry up, we're near! All right, don't get too excited, Daddy.

I ain't excited. I just can't stand waiting around like this. Hey! Alright, thank you, Mother Soo, you're only getting dressed. Here I've been standing around all dressed up for the last half hour. Pop, where's your pants?

I better put them on. Party's formal. Junior, get up off the studio couch. Huh? My pants, they're under the mattress. I'm putting a crease in it. Oh, you're here for going to the movies. That's cool.

The brave bull goes on an 850. Oh, OK, Babs. Can I pop? Night, Daddy. Night, Father. Good night, kids. Don't be late. Aren't you dressed yet? I'm ready. I'm ready as soon as I slip on these pants.
