Nature's Most Glorious Splendour Presents ...

Peter MacKay the Bear was smitten with Belinda Stronach the Giraffe.

MACKAY: Shucks! There's nobody else for her! There's nobody else for me!

STRONACH: Oh, Peter ...

MACKAY: I like books! And she likes books!

STRONACH: We both like reading books!

MACKAY: Yeeeee haw! We're the same!

STRONACH: Did you read the Da Vinci Code?

MACKAY: Um, well ... I only read non-fiction.

STRONACH: I prefer fiction.

MACKAY: Okay.

STRONACH: But we both like books.

MACKAY: Some people don't even read books! We're so alike! How else are we alike?

STRONACH: We're both Red Tories.

MACKAY: Yeah!

STRONACH: And we both like each other!

MACKAY: YAY!

STRONACH: You said it.

MACKAY: Hey, who is that?

STRONACH: Oh, a friend ...

A monster truck with dark, tinted windows bounced towards them ...

EMISSARY: It's done?

STRONACH: I haven't asked him yet.

MACKAY: Asked what?

EMISSARY: You haven't asked him? You don't think he's got the stuff?

MACKAY: What are y'all talking about?

STRONACH: Peter, do you remember what we talked about? I wanted you to meet some people.

MACKAY: Yeah?

STRONACH: We want you to meet with Stephen Harper.

MACKAY: HARPER? I ain't gonna meet with no gosh-dang Stephen Harper!

EMISSARY: I told you we should have stuck with Orchard. He was bought and sold ...

STRONACH: Peter, it's the only way.

MACKAY: But I said ... I promised that I wouldn't!

EMISSARY: Baby bear wants his mommy.

MACKAY: Shush, you! I ... I ... wait, that voice sounds familiar...

STRONACH: Peter, it doesn't hurt to talk. Just hear what Harper has to say.

MACKAY: Why are you asking me to do this? I though you loved me ... why are you trying to hurt me?

STRONACH: Talking won't hurt. Peter, trust me.

MACKAY: What else can I do?
