Mr. Sane: (looking around) What is this place?
Ms. Looney: (excited) It's Dr. Quack's lair! I knew it! He's got secrets hidden everywhere.
Sir Barkalot: (sniffing) Smells like trouble.
Dr. Quack: (voice echoing through the labyrinth) Welcome, my dear patients! You've found my playground. Let the games begin!
Mr. Sane: (annoyed) Games? We're not playing any games, Quack!
Dr. Quack: (chuckling) Oh, but you are. To escape, you must solve my riddles and survive my traps. Good luck!
Ms. Looney: (determined) We can do this. He's just trying to mess with us.
Mr. Sane: (sighing) Great. More madness.

Dr. Quack: (voice booming) To pass through this room, solve my riddle: I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I?
Mr. Sane: (thinking) This is ridiculous. It's an echo.
Ms. Looney: (nodding) An echo. That's the answer!
Sir Barkalot: (barking) Echo! Ruff!
Dr. Quack: (sighing) Correct. But don't get too comfortable. The next challenge awaits.

Mr. Sane: (disoriented) Which way do we go?
Ms. Looney:(frustrated) It's all reflections! We'll never find the exit!
Sir Barkalot: (sniffing) Follow me! I'll find the way!
Mr. Sane: (doubtful) We're trusting the dog-man?
Ms. Looney: (resigned) We don't have a better option.
Sir Barkalot: (leading) This way!

Dr. Quack: (clapping) Bravo! You've made it further than I expected.
Mr. Sane: (angry) Enough, Quack. Let us out of here!
Dr. Quack: (smiling) Ah, but the fun is just beginning. To escape, you must answer one final question: What is the meaning of madness?
Ms. Looney: (thoughtful) Madness is... seeing the world differently, isn't it?
Sir Barkalot: (barking) Madness is chasing your tail and loving every moment!
Mr. Sane: (defiant) Madness is being trapped in your twisted games and still hoping for freedom.
Dr. Quack: (surprised) Interesting answers. Very well. You've earned your freedom. (presses a button, revealing an exit)
Mr. Sane: (skeptical) That's it?
Dr. Quack: (grinning) For now. But remember, the door to madness is never truly closed.
