... I took the liberty of examining that dragon, and I discovered that the only reason that it had been sitting in that limo in the first place was that it had been nailed there ... Look matey, this dragon wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it. It's bleeding demised ... It's not pining, it's passed on. This dragon is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late dragon. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the seats, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's off the twig--it's curled up its tootsies--it's shuffled off this mortal coil--it's rung down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible. 'E's f**kin' snuffed-it!
