Daddy, daddy, can we go inside

damn thing on your back?
Oh, this? Yes.
- But sadly, - Mip hasn't been inspired
enough to use it
for many moons.
- Sorry, Mip. I've got a pretty - bad headache, man.
Is it okay if you could not...
If a headache you've got,
a headache can cure.
Drink this, yellow one.

Hmm, let's see.

- in a metaphorical sense - and then...
- Instead of just trying - to take it out?
It came right out,
just like you said.
Ooh!
Charlie, how did you know
how to do that?
You must be a hero.
Ahh!
- Yeah, you know, - when you put it like that,
