Now, I'm not calling you silly, stupid Jeff and Idiot Mike, but you do realise this is speech, don't you?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

while
actually, after '"Yummy!' Vogon Poet put a closing quotation, and a comma and the word 'said' usually that indicates that the speech ended, just before the quotation mark
The Tom put another open quote after his word, but i dont think that were following it. Why should we?

It isnt any one person's job to make this funny.. its more of a group thing (dont know if the first 680 words might have taught you a thing or two about teamwork.
You're bringin' me down, man!
