[Laughter.]
Mei Xiang: What it means, Tian Tian, is that I'm at my peak fertility. This is the best time of year for me to get pregnant.
Tian Tian: And what does this have to do with me, exactly?

[Laughter. Hoots.]
Mei Xiang: Oh Tian Tian, you're useless. It takes two to make a baby. And you've always said you wanted a baby.
Tian Tian: I have?
Mei Xiang: Yes.
Tian Tian: Always?
Mei Xiang: That's right.
Tian Tian: Because, it's funny, I remember saying that I always wanted a back rub. And I always want bamboo of course; that goes without saying. But a baby? No, that I don't recall.
Mei Xiang: Well whether you remember it or not, you're giving me a baby, buster. And you're giving me a baby right now!
[She leaps at him, snarling, and we cut to a commercial.]
Dan Snyder: Hi, I'm Dan Snyder. You may know me as the owner of the Washington Redskins. But did you know that I'm also a licensed and insured tree-removal specialist? Have pesky nonnative trees invaded your land? Has the relentless onslaught of ailanthus and paulownia made you fear for the safety of your loved ones? I can help. Let me prune your troubles away! Remember our motto: "When you can't see the river for the trees, cut 'em down!" And ask about this week's special: free stump grinding! [We return to "Oh, Those Pandas!" The setting is now the Pandas' bedroom. It features a queen-size bed with red duvet cover and sham from Pottery Barn. Hanging on the wall above the bed is a framed print of Monet's "The Japanese Footbridge." Mei Xiang and Tian Tian are kneeling on the bed, growling at each other.]
Tian Tian: Grrrrrrr. Are you sure this is right?
