Dunsinane and Terminus

'Pooh.  Just speak into the microphone as normal.'
'Hello Pigscruff, hello Pigscruff, alien message on the line from Johnny Commonsense.'
'Pooh!'
'Oh, all right.  I'm just getting bored, that's all.'
'You'll get used to it, Pooh, it's--'
'Fact is I think I'll go out for a walk.'
'Ah.'
'Ah?'
'Ah.'
'Does it say we absolutely can't?'
'Well, it's not been…I mean, as yet…well, Owl says it's a grey aria.'
'Oh.  Well, I've found a way round that.'
'Really?'
'Wire frame to go over your head and body.'
'Yes?'
'Brown paper and leaves and bits of twig on the outside.'
'Yes?'
'Label saying "Birnam Wood for Dunsinane and Terminus".'
'Ah.'
'Ah?'
'Ah.'
'Make you one?'
'Please.'
'Capital, 3Hundred Acre Pigscruff!  A bientinytot.'
'Souffle, Pooh.'
