Exit Through the Gift Shop

Once we reached the Gift Shop, Wilson considered buying a souvenir toy anteater. I think he really wanted to, but eventually decided against it, thinking Antony's feelings might be hurt by a newcomer usurping his place as Largest Toy Anteater. 

As we ate our cakes, Wilson was all, 'Dennis this… Dennis that… what Dennis thinks is…!' 


Apparently Dennis serves only Lapsang Souchong, which Wilson thinks is way cooler than Happy Shopper, and thinks he might start serving Lapsang Souchong too when we get home... from a teapot, no less!


He also remarked on the size of Dennis's nose. I told him not to feel inadequate, but W says he's always felt embarrassed about the size of his own nose, and was happy to know someone with an even bigger sniffer who nevertheless still felt able to act cool and urbane!


As we were leaving W spotted one of the shop assistants taking a toy anteater — the very same one he'd nearly bought — out into the sunshine and giving her a Diet Coke. Now he knows that they are well cared for at the shop, he feels much better about leaving her there.
