Hey, I tried my shoes before I bought them. They were innocent!
As long as you have happy feet
Good. Out of the door, line on the left, one cross each.
Forget the shoes, my feet are killing me!
Emporer Xi will send you off to Xinjang if you don’t.
Can I bring my phone? I don’t know if it’s guilty, but it’s been charged.

My shoes were set up! Follow the socks if you wanna find the real culprit!
…and you’ll have to crawl in on your knees for good measure.
What’ll happen if I’m rude?
I’M ALREADY GOING TO PRISON!
