Five miles away, at Pacific Lumber headquarters, spokeswoman Mary Bullwinkel deadpans, "I don't believe trees can talk."

One slip from Susan Carpenter-McMillan said it all: "I'm going to let her -- I'm sorry, we're going to let her speak for herself," said the erstwhile spokeswoman -- a hint of her much-reduced future role.
