T-Rex: We say "Let's party!!" all the time, but when we say "Let us party!!" it sounds hella formal!
T-Rex: "Let's" is a crazy contraction, you guys!
T-Rex: Other contractions sound a little formal when uncontracted ("You will definitely love this" versus "You'll definitely love this"), but "let's" is INSANE! "Dudes! Let us now gobble these sausages!" Are we KINGS and PRINCES?
T-Rex: In summary and in conclusion, "let's" is contracted SO RELIABLY that it seems like a big affectation to use "let us" as separate words.
Utahraptor: So let us break that association by no longer contracting it!
T-Rex: Let us see how that goes, Utahraptor!
Utahraptor: I think that this has been successful so far. Let us continue this experiment!
T-Rex: Let us! Incidentally, my favourite Salt-N-Pepa song is "Let Us Talk About Sex".
Utahraptor: Let us listen to it right now!
Off panel: Let us talk about sex, baby / Let us talk about you and me / Let us talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be / Let us talk about sex
T-Rex: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD HOW'D THEY KNOW WHAT WE WERE DOING
T-Rex: I'VE HAD THAT TAPE FOR TEN YEARS
T-Rex: OH MY GOD
