I don’t know why he crossed the road. Maybe in those last moments he loved crossing roads more than he ever had before. Not just this road, any road. My road. All he’d wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? Is there anything good to eat on the other side of the road? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

That chicken’s here! He got across the road! Game over, man! Game Over!!!

“I find your lack of Poultry…disturbing.”

It crosses roads! That’s what it does! It never gets hungry, it never gets tired - you can’t plead with it, you can’t reason with it - it will never stop until it has crossed!

…to put flowers on Algernon’s grave.
Thank you. Thank you.

Because he wanted to shop smart. He wanted to shop S-mart.

The chicken crossed honorably. The chicken crossed bravely. The chicken crossed valiantly.
And the chicken died.
