  • Zombie's impressed by how quickly Nugget as adjusted to his new nightmare life.
  • The one time he didn't fare so well was during an air raid drill. He had no idea what to do, and Zombie basically had to carry him outside.

  • Back in the barracks, Tank is really angry. He thinks that Zombie should have left Nugget behind.
  • Tank's yelling has escalated into a full-scale freak out. Dumbo says that he's "going Dorothy," which is slang for losing his mind.
  • Apparently soldiers "go Dorothy" all the time. Sometimes they snap kill their fellow soldiers.
  • Tank's pointing his rifle at people. Yep. He's definitely gone Dorothy.
  • He's also screaming, "You are not the boss of me!" which is a little bit funny.
  • Flintstone takes down Tank, who starts screaming like a lunatic. Everyone's bummed about it.
