Narrator: WOULD CHILD YOU BE HAPPY WITH ADULT YOU?
T-Rex: Absolutely!!
T-Rex: I have a dog and I can buy Bubble Tape whenever I want!!
T-Rex: Not that I do buy Bubble Tape, obviously, because it's just cheap gum shaped like a roll of tape sold in an expensive novelty plastic tape dispenser and I prefer VALUE with MY gum-purchasing dollar, but still!
Utahraptor: Still! You have the CAPACITY to buy it, and that's what counts!
T-Rex: Exactly!
T-Rex: I have the CAPACITY. And I have the DISPOSABLE INCOME, though again, not so much that I don't care for - and seek value with - my gum-purchasing dollar.
T-Rex: Also, my tastes have changed and Bubble Tape is no longer my primary motivating concern.
Off panel: So child you would be disappointed.
T-Rex: Child Me believes if he swallows gum it'll stay in his belly indefinitely; I care not for his whims and still less for his prognostications
