When you are reunited with Rod Hull in the afterlife - Please let him know that it finished 2-1. I’m sure it’s been bothering him.

Of course I know Lloyd, my child. Everyone knows Lloyd. Lloyd is truly a True Emu… unless you mean _that_ Lloyd. In which case, I don’t know him.

Alas, my dear **BJMoose** , I cannot say. It remains to you to find the inner emu within yourself. Once you have crossed the paths of emu obdurance and overcome the struggles of emu resistance and challening emus, then you will reunite with the blissful cosmic harmony of the holy and blessed Emu of the Universe, and the seventeen divine and awesome revelations of the most worshipful Emu will be revealed unto you.

And she was totally legal. I _swear_.
