Christmas: You two did a terrific job with that sunflower for artist.
Pepper: Salt made the design, I just helped her execute it.
Salt: Don't be so modest. Like so many great accomplishments, it was a team effort.
Christmas: In any case, he really loved his present. And that brings me to your present!
Pepper: A trip back to Edwards Air Force Base? I loved seeing all those planes!
Salt: You also enjoyed seeing the SR-71 Blackbirds.
Pepper: That's true.
Salt: And hiking in Red Rock Canyon.
Pepper: That was a special trip. What did you enjoy most?
Salt: Knitting our cyberman hot pad in the evening, while Master read us stories about Conan the Barbarian by author Robert E Howard. They made me want to exterminate evil wizards like Thoth-Amon and Tsotha-Lanti, or conspiring rulers like Amalrus and Strabonus.
Pepper: Yes, Exterminate all of Conan's Enemies!
Salt: Exterminate, Exterminate, EXTERMINATE all Hyborian fiends!!!
Christmas: Yes, well, uh, good Christmas spirit, you too. I'm sorry I can't send you off on another trip just yet. Still, I'd like to speed you on your merry knitting way with a few Cadbury Crunchie bars. They're light honeycomb inside a thin chocolate coating, so they should provide lots of energy for knitting Christmas presents.
Pepper: Thank you. I'm overwhelmed.
Salt: I'm going to design an extra special present for you this year. How would you like a broadsword for Christmas?
Christmas: Yes, well, uh...
