Maggie and the Ferocious Beast

This is a kids program about Maggie (who is a little girl) and her adventures in nowhere land with Hamilton (who is a pig) and the Ferocious Beast (who is a ferocious beast). The ferocious beast roars very loudly and in general tries to be ferocious.

We were sitting down at the dinner table having dinner (yes, we sit down at the dinner table to eat our dinner) and Matthew was being his normal loud self. After several times of asking him to quieten down and reminding him we were all sitting right next to him and did not have hearing problems he let out some god awful yell about something or other (probably asking me to pass the tomato sauce or something... that would be ketchup in American speak) and I finally yelled at him to use his 'inside voice' and to stop making so much noise. To which he replied "but Daddy, I have to be loud. I am after all the ferocious beast".
This is what the beast tells Maggie when she asks him why he is so loud..... well it was funny at the time.
