Bugs Bunny: *standing behind him and peering over his shoulder* "Bugs" is spelled with a Z.

Light Yagami: *without turning around* Ah yes, thank you *erasing furiously and continues writing*

Bugs Bunny: *stroking chin* Or was it an S?

Light Yagami: *erasing again and writing again*

Bugs Bunny: No, it was definitely a Z.

Light Yagami: *erasing again, even more agitated*

Bugs Bunny: Wait! It was a TH!

Light Yagami: *turning around, red faced* Can you decide on a spelling already?! *awkward pause, realizing who he's talking to*

Light Yagami: *screams, notebook and pen shooting up*

Bugs Bunny: *yoinks them both out of the air* Now let's see... Light Yagami... *begins scribbling*

Light Yagami: *on his knees, hands clasped* Wait, no, please, I beg of you! Spare me!
