(To Shinpachi) "Sh-Shin-chan, what'll I do? I pooped my pants. What'll I do, Shin-chan? Shin-chan, I'll bet you're really awake. Shin-chan, Shin-chan!"
(By Shimura Tae) "When your friend is crying, cry with him. When your friend is worried, you should worry with him. When your friend has an awkward bowel movement ... then you must have a bowel movement too, Shin-chan."
