 Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know the movie quote. With this info in mind, I now think that panel 2 shows that Cueball is perhaps not making friends, so he decides to just go for the chewing gum option?? [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.36|141.101.99.36]] 08:40, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

 :: sorry, no native english - why is "I'm" counted as one word as it is "I am" which I would count as two words? Or is "don't" and "can't" also one word? -- [[Special:Contributions/162.158.92.17|162.158.92.17]] 13:09, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 :::"don't" and "can't" are both also considered one word. In English, a contraction functions as one word, even though it combines multiple words. Don't bother asking why... the rules of English don't necessarily make sense. :-) [[User:Suspender guy|Suspender guy]] ([[User talk:Suspender guy|talk]]) 16:37, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 The description of the hovertext mentions "out of words" and "out of both"; might want to include the original, "out of bubblegum".  Also, the deliberate truncation implies "out of time", which could relate to the possibility of it being a tribute to Roddy Piper.--[[User:Beth|Beth]] ([[User talk:Beth|talk]]) 12:44, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
