My Favorite Things

(In Leona's tavern, Viktor and Humphrey are seated at their favorite table. Viktor's obviously already had a few, because waving a mug in the air, he starts to sing...)

Viktor:
Beer that's so foamy you can't see the bottom!
Victory toasts when we finally got 'em!
Sake while bathing in bubbling springs -
These are a few of my favorite things!

(Humphrey pretends not to notice Viktor's drunken singing, and goes on about his own drinking.)

Viktor:
Kanakan vintages, wine from Matilda!
Rum from the dwarves that's so strong it could kill ya!
Drinking with friends in the inn back in Muse -
This is a bit of my favorite booze!

(Flik peeks in, looks around nervously, then sits down at the table next to Viktor and Humphrey.)

Viktor:
Ale at Leona's while Flik dodges Nina!

Flik: (grouchily)
Don't you forget you got outdrunk by Rina.

Viktor:
Whiskey with Humphrey, who sits there and thinks -
These are a few of my favorite drinks...

Humphrey:
.........

Viktor:
When the booze bites,
When the beer stinks,
When I'm feeling sad...
I simply remember my favorite drinks,
And then I don't feeeeeel... soooo baaaaaad!

(He chugs the mug in his hand, while Humphrey actually says something for a change.)

Humphrey: (leaning over to Flik)
I think the type's not important to Viktor.

Flik: (leaning back over to Humphrey)
Yeah, he drinks anything, long as it's liquor.
Give him some swill and he won't even blink -
He might declare it his favorite drink.

Viktor:
Kanakan vintages - that's worth repeating!

Flik: (to Humphrey)
If he goes on like this, he'll get a beating.

(Humphrey nods.)

Viktor:
Drinking with friends in the inn back in Muse -
This is a bit of my favorite booze!

Glasses of mead till my eardrums are ringing!

Flik:
Vik, we don't care - will you please stop that singing?

Viktor: (waving a mug drunkenly in Flik's face)
Have a few mugs and forget that it stinks -
One benefit of my favorite drinks...!

(Caught up in his singing, he doesn't notice Flik and Humphrey just getting up and leaving in annoyance before he's finished...)
