JWS: Is that so? Well, every time I try to free us They simply censored censored upon us I'm a censored censored censored, you know that, sir

Others: Yes, we know.

JWS: Usr. Moulton, dear Usr. Moulton I've only been censored 41 days, approximately I still romp through Cupid's Grove with agility But Wikimedia must escape educational perversity

Others: Perversity, perversity, perversity!

Moulton: Usr. JWS, damn you Usr. JWS You're called a censored, that cannot be denied That censored forbids using names congenially Censored is driving censored censored censored!
