Grover orders a glass of milk, and the bartender asks if he wants the big glass, the bigger glass or the biggest glass.

The bartender asks if Fred wants anything, but Fred says, "No thanks, I'm drivin'." As Grover rides his horse out of the café, the bartender asks who's going to pay for all this stuff.
