A slumlord: "The original reason I went to Dobermans was that I fell in love with their teeth. I thought they had more teeth than other dogs. They remind me of sharks.

The doll supervises the bedtime ritual: "Did you remember to brush your teeth?" and "Is the light turned out?" As it asks about the child's day, the questions are punctuated with suggestive yawns. To spare the batteries, a microprocessor tells the doll to turn itself off once the child falls asleep and stops squeezing the toy. The bedtime companion comes in two forms...
