Heya Tom, it's Bob from the office down the hall
Good to see you buddy, how've you been?
Thing have been OK for me
Except that I'm a zombie now
I really (1)________ you'd let us in
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might (2)________________ to submit to our demand
But here's an FYI
you're all (3)__________ die screaming
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable
I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat (4)________ brains
We're at an impasse here
Maybe we (5)____________ compromise
If you open up the doors
We'll all come inside and eat (6)________ brains
I don't want to nitpick, Tom
But is (7)________ really your plan?
To spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that's OK for now
But someday you'll be out of food and guns
And then you'll have to make the call
I'm not surprised to see
You haven't (8)______________ it (9)______________ enough
You never had the head for all that
Bigger picture stuff
But Tom, that's what I do
And I (10)________ on eating you slowly
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable
I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an (11)______________ here
Maybe we should compromise
If you (12)________ up the doors
We'll all come inside and eat your brains
I'd (13)________ to help you Tom
In any way I can
I sure (14)____________________ the way you're (15)______________ with me
I'm not a (16)______________ Tom
Well, technically I am
I (17)__________ I am

I've got another meeting Tom
Maybe we could wrap it up
I (18)________ we'll get to common ground somehow
Meanwhile I'll report (19)________ to my colleagues
Who were chewing on the doors
I guess we'll (20)__________ this for now
I'm glad to see you (21)________ constructive criticism well
Thank you for your time
I know we're all (22)________ as hell
And we'll put this thing to bed
When I (23)________ your (24)________ open
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable
I mean, no one's (25)__________ eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here
Maybe we should compromise
If you open up the doors
We'll all (26)________ inside and eat your brains
