台词选段：

【说唱《游乐园》】

欢乐世界 / 我们一起游戏/ 疯狂地嬉戏

随机选中一个闪烁靶心/ 箭一脱手/ 只能继续前进/ 飞速地前进

吞没/ 将我吞没/ 欢呼扑向我/ 我爱这堕落

远去/ 看着我远去/ 奔向沸腾人群/ 我满心憧憬

最后发现终点不止一个/ 你我面面相觑不知所措

没关系/ 一起享受这美妙的时刻

（场外音）：它是不是普通的狗重要吗？现在外界都在说我们中心伪造证明！再说 了，哪有人不希望自己的狗是名贵品种？哪有人会刻意要求自己的狗是普通品种？说出去谁会相信？你自己信吗？你见过谁鉴宝的时候希望自己的宝物是假的？现在你只需要向外界澄清自己判断失误，我们道个歉就完了。如果再坚持说下去，保不准我们整个鉴定中心都会被上级审核调查！再说了，这么多年谁能保证自己的鉴定没有失误呢？你也是蠢，塞红包的过程也被拍下来，你要是不想被吊销执照你赶紧给我道歉！不然就卷铺盖滚蛋！

宠物医生：是，是，是，我知道怎么做了。

……

鉴狗专家三：大家好，我是 James Wild。我认为，这只狗长成这样完全是自然界的错误，是基因突变的产物，因为我从没有在美国文献中发现这种狗的存在。（其他两位专家听见后耳语了一番）据——说，（稍停顿）据说，麒麟狗来自中国的古老神话，它寓意着子孙满堂，多子多福，品德高尚，才高八斗，招财进宝，财富满贯，长命百岁，寿比南山，事业顺畅，家庭和睦，吉祥如意，繁荣昌盛。谢谢！

……

艺术家（亢奋地）：“您好动物园，我是一位当代艺术家。得知跳舞小狗死去的消息，我深表遗憾，我想买下小狗的遗体做成作品…… 名字我都想好了，就叫《生者对死者的无动于衷》。草间弥生说过：‘魔鬼是艺术的敌人，但更是它的盟友，如果不是为了艺术，我应该很早就自杀了。我成为了创作的囚犯，创作成为了我的医生。’ 对，她是这么说的。这将是一件伟大的作品，一座堆满尸体的动物园，不再有痛苦….. ”

动物园（打断）：“没问题啊，还有别的死了的都可以一起拉走。”
