"We throw sticks at dogs, that's the level we have dogs at. You'd never dream of throwing one for a cat. We throw sticks for dogs, and dogs go, "Oh, he's dropped his stick! I better go and get that. Saw you dropped your stick there, thought I'd bring it back. And you – hang on! Did you see me just bring that back? And then you … you dropped it again? This is very weird. I don't know what's going on here. Now, hang on to it this time, I don't want to piss about all the time. You think I enjoy this? There you … don't fucking throw it!" That's why the third time, when they come back, they won't give it to you. They go, "No … I won't let you take it!"
