A stylishly-dressed hippo in a suit, tie, and bowler hat sits outside reading a book titled "Hats of the World".
Dobbsdale (offscreen): Eek! A hamster! There's a hamster in the lab!
Dobbsdale (offscreen): And a cat! Two cats! There are cats in the lab!
Dobbsdale (offscreen): And...other brains! There are brains in the lab!
The hippo closes his book.
Professor Hippoponderous: Well, I certainly find that hard to believe.
