6(2b): You gotta help us search too, Billy! That's right, it's your responsibility too!

07)
1: Mic's been saying that you're a fake.
2: Then we got all mad at him and told him not to say stuff like that.
3: And that there's no way the Billy in Billyland would be a fake!

4: Who's the author?
5: Some Jap.
6: A Jap, drawing Billy?!

1: I'm tellin' you, it's because our judicial affairs don't know their shit from shineola that stuff like this keeps comin' out.
2: Yes sirree!
3(2b): It's just like those Japs to go and say something that isn't theirs belongs to them! Just like they did with Okinawa!
4: It don't matter, though, it's not like some Presidential manga like this is gonna sell anyways.
5: Yeah, you gotta point there.
6: Look at this, they even got some sexy Monroe-ish thing in here.
7: What, are they gonna have her assassinated by some secret organization or something?
8: Who's gonna read a comic that isn't for kids?
9: Yeah, I'm sure this publisher'll disappear out of our sight before we even know it.

2: I don't wanna.
3: Well, either way, there's no way you can stay here, kid.
4: Eddy and 'em called me a liar.
5: Since I said you were a fake.
6: Well...you know what? You aren't a liar...
7: But why did you call me a fake in the first lace?
8: Because the way you talk and your voice is all wrong!!
9: This is the first time you heard me talk, though! I'm not even allowed to talk in the park!!

12)

7: What'd you do?
8: Huh?
9: Don't play dumb with me. What'd you do?
