Sylvester: Okay, son. Start reading.

Sylvester Jr.: [reading] In order to grow up to be a real cat, it is necessary to... chase birds, catch birds and... gulp!... eat birds? Oh, father! What are we, cannibals?

Sylvester: Yeah, he-he-he... ahem. That is how we cats survive.

Sylvester Jr.: Oh, how can I face my friends? My father shooting at helpless old ladies.
