Mr. Johnson is not ready for this, so he asks if there's any "slow food." There is, but it's served by a turtle who takes longer than Mr. Johnson wants to wait.

He swipes socks from everyone's collection until he catches Blue Bird's attention. A chase ensues until Blue Bird finally apprehends him.
