Hat man 1: Oh, I haven't seen the third one. The villain is a BIRD? Isn't it a JET LI movie?
Hat man 2: Yeah, Spoiler Alert- the villain's this giant robot, but at the end it turns out to be a bird in a--
Hat man 1 [[interrupting]]: WHOA whoa whoa! THAT was NOT a spoiler alert!

Hat man 1: In the last ten seconds, that bird's opinion of both of us has dropped dramatically.
