T-Rex: When you're short and great and know your height has nothing to do with your self-worth, WHICH IS TRUE, they call you a short king! And guess what?
T-Rex: I TRULY LOVE THE PHRASE "SHORT KING".
Dromiceiomimus: But you're not short, T-Rex! This phrase isn't FOR you!
T-Rex: I know, I know!! The tall simply can't co-opt it for themselves, so I can't be a short king OR a tall king.
T-Rex: No matter HOW much I wish I could!
Utahraptor: Well, if you're not a short king, maybe you can be a tall boy?
T-Rex: It's already taken! For booze!
T-Rex: The fact of the matter is short kings have a phrase I love but can never have for myself. And I can't even really USE the phrase, because if a tall guy calls someone a short king, is there a chance it's read as pejorative?? Who knows? NOT ME!! Only short kings know for sure!
Off panel: 〚small〛 T-Rex I'm the shortest of the short kings and you can call me that if you want!
T-Rex: MR. TUSKS, the elephant vice mayor of Tiny Towne who got island dwarfism! It's so good to see you!!
Off panel: 〚small〛 Same, my friend!
Off panel: 〚small〛 It's good to appreciate SMALL blessings
T-Rex: Oh, Mr Tusks!!
