*Mike looks up at the sky with sad eyes, then looks down in disappointment.*

Chirpy: Boy-Kitty?
*Mike turns to find Chirpy.*

*Chirpy looks worried.*
Chirpy: Are you okay?
Mike: Chirpy..

Mike: Could you even begin to understand ANY of that?!

*Chirpy is weeping.*
Chirpy: M.. my..
*Mike raises an eyebrow.*
Mike: What?

*Chirpy cries in despair.*
Chirpy: My mommy…
