Detailed summary
Memorable quotes
Potamus: Is that you, Birdman?
Harvey: Now is not a good time.
Potamus: You got that thing I sent you?
Harvey: No. No, I didn't. I never get that thing you send me. I've never gotten that thing you sent me...and I'm beginning to wonder whether you ever once sent me anything. While I'm at it...If I had gotten that thing you sent me--ever--I doubt I'd be interested in what it said.
Potamus: He got that thing I sent him!
