Why, yes, sir, he's like
the lone stranger
only more so.
'Exactly. He's an ant's ant.'
'Send for him immediately.'
Yes, sir.

Bully for you. Atom Ant speak
with strong tongue.

How is this for
up and Atom's strength, chief?
Hmm...ah, big deal.
Alrighty. How about this?
'Juggling three wagons at once?'
I repeat

What do I have to do
to convince you, chief?
You have contest with
my son Big Moose Ant.
If Atom Ant win

But if Big Moose win,
