Wait a minute. Ask anything. I can explain anything.  Sly talks to dogs too? How? 

How? Give me a fucking break.

 

Hmmm. I should maybe oughta take that as a compliment. I've laid out in great detail how Sly came to master people-talk, but I've not mentioned dog-talk, nor pig-talk, cow-talk, yadda yadda, the full range of his competency. Sly can't talk to anyone under the sun, but he has a flair for mimicking sounds, a splendid brain, and a steely determination to succeed. This is not magic. Put that idea out of your head right now.
