MARC SANCHEZ: (SINGING) I love animals. Animals are so cool. I love animals even when they drew. I love animals. Scooby, doo, doo, doo, doo.
MOLLY BLOOM: Hi, Marc. What are you doing?
[CHUCKLES]
MARC SANCHEZ: Oh. Hey, Molly. I'm making a collage of my favorite animals. See, here's a black-footed ferret and a ring-tailed lemur. And here's a fardelum.
MOLLY BLOOM: A fardelum?
MARC SANCHEZ: Yeah. See, it's a type of snail.
[LAUGHTER]
Wait, why are you laughing? The name fardelum comes from Latin. Fardem means stuffed thing. And fardelum means little stuffed thing. And this snail looks like--
MOLLY BLOOM: A little, stuffed sausage.
MARC SANCHEZ: --a little, stuffed sausage.
MOLLY BLOOM: Yes, a little, stuffed sausage.
MARC SANCHEZ: Exactly.
[LAUGHTER]
MOLLY BLOOM: I'm glad my name isn't Molly Fardelum Bloom.
MARC SANCHEZ: I wish my name was Mark Fardelum Sanchez.
MOLLY BLOOM: Whoa. What animal is that? It looks like a rug with a mouth.
