Aww, thank you! I love a good PIE dive. <3
Can't help myself!
Rather enjoyable read as always.

All I can think of is "Up and Atom!"

Good luck! Or, as Google Translate indicates: Boa sorte!
"Bwah sorchee."
"Bow Uh Soar Tay"
"Bwah sorchee!"
"Bow Uh Soar Tay"
"BWAH SORE CHEE!!"
"Bow Uh Soar Tay"
"Better."
