[Cliff's not entirely obtuse, so he does sort of note that there's some distaste there when he calls Louie a duckling. He arches a brow.]

No, Webby's great! A real sweetheart. But duckling's a miss for you, huh? What would you prefer? If she's fine with that, I'll call her that in reference, and call you what you like. I get it, Cliff's a nickname.

[Yeah, he does not prefer his full name, so he can get why Louie might not like the word.

So weird stuff happened. [He pauses for a moment.] Yeah, this is pretty weird.
