Continuing the Snow White bit, Tim imagines himself pitching to play the Cheshire Cat and mocks the 'freak show' casting choices for the dwarfs.
- Tim questions what negative stereotypes about dwarfs are actually being reinforced by Snow White, noting the original dwarfs had distinct individual personalities and jobs.
- Tim proposes a hypothetical: if Disney made a film with seven loud, vicious fat men instead, why would he complain, and what exactly is Peter Dinklage upset about?
- Peter Dinklage doesn't want dwarf culture to become a Disney character, Tim guesses—but then tells him to either not make the movie or accept that Disney will do it anyway.
- Tim accuses Dinklage of taking opportunities away from other little people actors who could be working, describing it as closing the bridge for everyone else now that he's rich.
- Tim reveals he would love to play the Cheshire Cat in a Disney adaptation—a nasty, cognizant character that appeals to him as a role.
