Bill: That's process of elimination?
Jeff: But puppy--Meredith, how much time do I have?
Meredith: Your time ran out, actually.
Jeff: I'm gonna say--
Bill: You're thinking puppy or bunny, really, duckling--not so much?
Jeff: I'm going to say--puppy dog tails is a guy sort of thing, so--bunny heels?
Bill: I've heard of bunny slippers.
Meredith: Oh, the two of you are a trip! God!
Jeff: If I was a cross-dresser, you know--
Meredith: There's always time.
Jeff: I know, I'm gonna say bunny heels. That's my guess. Bunny heels.
