Mercy Watson is Missing! Quotes

“But Mercy’s head, of course, was not there. Mercy Watson was missing! How terrible! How unbelievable! Something must be done! Mr. Watson dialed the police. “Officer Tomilello here,” said Officer Tomilello. “Officer Tomilello, this is Mr. Watson over on Deckawoo Drive. Mercy has gone missing.” “Are you speaking of your pig?” said Officer Tomilello. And then the police officer answered his own question. “You are speaking of your pig.” “Yes, yes,” said Mr. Watson, who was now frustrated beyond all measure. “I’m speaking of my pig.” “Are missing pigs a police department matter?” said Officer Tomilello.”
