<<Throughout the comic a steady "kot kit">>
Dr Quickly: I have invented a metronome that beats in reverse!!
Rabid: What good is that? It sounds kind of awful...
Host: Aren't you hungry?
Rabid's Ancestor: That noise is unrelenting! Can't you hear it? It ruins my appetite ALL THE TIME.
Medieval Nursemaid: Well, little one, our ancient legends tell us it is the heartbeat of the planet we live on.
Cave Rabid: Rarr! I hunt by the beat of the world drum! The rhythm guides me true.
Primate Rabid: Noise... noise is... PATTERN!!
Other Primate: PATTERN! WHAT IS PATTERN!!
Another Primate: NOISE IS HOOT!
[[The universe begins.]]
