Complete catalog record
[Ollie] Pssst. Pssst. Psst. There you miserable old bug. That will fix you for attacking my plant. Oh, my plant! My plant! Kukla! Kukla!

[Kukla] What is it Ollie?

[Ollie] Look - my little plant. It just died.

[Kukla] What were you doing to it?

[Ollie] I was spraying it with my 'bug bomb.'

[Kukla] Well how much did you use?

[Ollie] Oh about a half a can or so.

[Kukla] Oh, Ollie, that's too much.

[Ollie] Well I wanted to be sure, Kukula.

[Kukla] What do the directions say?

[Ollie] I don't know I didn't read them.

[Kukla] Ollie! You didn't read the directions?

[Ollie] No, I didn't read the directions.

[Kukla] Well you should have. When you use a pesticide Ollie, you've got to read the directions and then follow them. Don't depend on your memory or guesswork. Use pesticides safely. Ollie.

[Ollie] Oh, look Kukula. Not only did I use too much but I used the wrong one! This one's a weed killer.

From the Wheeling, WV cache. Didn't edit out the leader on this one - consider that a bonus.
