040 estimation
POPPY: Ouch! Brave, don't take it out on me just because you can't go out!
BRAVE: Uh, sorry. I didn't mean it. I don't know why, but I can't sit still.
TARZAN: What's wrong with him?
POPPY: He's now in heat. So, he's so excited and irritated.
TARZAN: Not just excited, he's almost off his head.
POPPY: Usually, he's very gentle, you know.
TARZAN: Yeah. He's missing a few screws.

041 popularity vote
BRAVE: Hey, Poppy, did you hear? According to the popularity vote, Tarzan is the number one.
POPPY: Popularity vote? Who on earth did such a ridiculous thing? When? Where?
BRAVE: Uncle Kitchan recently did it at the office.
POPPY: Humph! Tarzan is popular just because he's still a kitten. It won't keep so long. I was also very very cuuuuute when I was a kitten. Look! 3months old in this photo.
BRAVE: Me, too! Here! I was 4 months.
TARZAN: Whatcha doin'? Haw-Haw! Hey, who's the kitten with a poop look?

042 astonishing appetite
POPPY: Tarzan is growing day by day, don't you think?
BRAVE: Yeah.  He looks bigger than you, already.
POPPY: It's only natural because he eats so much.
BRAVE: I'll bet that he can keep on eating for whole three days if he really wants to.
POPPY: I'll say!  Actually, he eats three times more than I do.
BRAVE: You eats twice more than me.  So, he eats more than me by 32 times according to my figures.  Incredible!  Ordinary cats never can eat as much as he does!
POPPY: Right!  It's, if anything, a cow's appetite.

043 Daddy's compromise
BRAVE: Look! Carpets are laid down all over the hallways!
POPPY: This is Daddy's compromise.  Anyway, from now on, we can run the hallways to our hearts' content. Also, Daddy won't have to cry over every scratch we make on his favorite wooden corridors. We're happy, he's happy, we're all happy!!
TARZAN: So, you mean that we can run here at full speed?
POPPY: Definitely!
TARZAN: Can we claw the carpets?
POPPY: Definitely!
BRAVE: Then, can I spray here?
POPPY: Defini...... Uh-oh, I don't know.  Ask Daddy.

044 Christmas gifts
BRAVE: Whee!  At last, tomorrow is the long-awaited Christmas!!  
TARZAN: What's Christmas?
POPPY: Oh, Tarzan, don't you know that?  Christmas is another day when we can get lots of loot except birthday!  I'll get a mirror to watch pretty myself every day.
BRAVE: I want a real alive mouse!  Tarzan, what do you want?
TARZAN: Me?  Ur....I want a spaceship!
POPPY&BRAVE: Spaceship?!  Why do you want such a thing?
TARZAN: Will go to the space and catch an alien.  I'll be able to be rich by showing him.  Well, do you think I can get a spaceship?
BRAVE: Mmm.....I doubt it.  Spaceship needs a special order.  So I don't think that it can reach here by tomorrow.  By the way, if you can seize an alien and make money, can I get a share?  Of course, I'll help you show him.  Can I?  Can I?
