Delta Dawn: So one of these tunnels leads to the Country Cactus.

Holly Darlin': That's right.

Delta Dawn: There's so many of them, I wonder which one.

Holly Darlin': [stares at the holes] I don't know.

Cloud Guy: [in deep voice] Choose a hole wisely! For one will lead to Scorpion Town... and the others, to certain death. [echoes]

Holly Darlin': Who said that?

Cloud Guy: It was... [comes out from a buffalo in a normal voice] me. Hey, guys, how's it going? Welcome to the root tunnels. Uh, I just wanted to warn you, one of these tunnels leads to the Country Cactus, and the others to certain death, death, death, death... [imitates echo fading]

Delta Dawn: Do you think you can tell us which is the right one?

Cloud Guy: You bet.

Delta Dawn: Great!

Holly Darlin': [shakes her head] No, that's okay. We're fine, thanks.

Delta Dawn: Holly. [laughs] He's tryin' to help us.

Holly Darlin': [whispers] I don't like the looks of him. I mean, who wears socks with no shoes?

Delta Dawn: He seems to know what he's talkin' about.

Holly Darlin': [groans] Okay, fine. Which way do we go?

Cloud Guy: First, you have to give me a high five. Then I'll tell you.

Holly Darlin': What?!

Delta Dawn: Oh, oh! I love high fives, I'll do it.

Cloud Guy: Oh, I know you'll do it. But will she? Okay high ponytail, up high.

Holly Darlin': [crosses her arms] Nope, I don't do high fives.

Cloud Guy: Slap it, boss.

Holly Darlin': Not gonna happen.

Cloud Guy: Party on the top floor.

Holly Darlin': Nope.

Cloud Guy: Little slappy, make Daddy happy.

Holly Darlin': That's weird.

Cloud Guy: Come on, just one little high five!

Holly Darlin': Ugh no. Thanks, I'm good.

Cloud Guy: Here, just do this... [hits his hand] But with your hand.

Holly Darlin': Thank you for that demonstration, I'm cleared up exactly for what I'll not be doin'.

Delta Dawn: Holly! It's a high five. The others lead to certain death. Come on, just do it! We need to find the right tunnel.

Holly Darlin': [groans] One high five and then you'll tell us which tunnel to take, right?

Cloud Guy: So easy.

Holly Darlin': Ugh! Okay, fine!

(Cloud Guy moves his hand before she touches his)

Cloud Guy: Too slow.

Holly Darlin': [in disbelief] Too slow?!

Cloud Guy: [laughing]

Delta Dawn: [stiffens a chuckle] Classic.

Cloud Guy: No, no. All right. I'm gonna let you slide with a fist bump.

(Holly tries to do it)

Cloud Guy: Shark attack! Nom-nom-nom-nom. Jellyfish! Hand sandwich. Turkey. Snowman. Dolphin. Helicopter. Last Supper. Monkey in a zoo.

Holly Darlin': What?

Cloud Guy: Gear shift! [makes engine noises and laughs]

Delta Dawn: [laughs, until Holly glares at her making her stop laughing]

Cloud Guy: Okay, okay, okay. Now I'm thinking we hug.

(Holly grabs a stick and breaks it in half while breathing heavily, thunder rumbling)

Holly Darlin': [chases Cloud Guy]

Cloud Guy: [screams]

Delta Dawn: Holly!

Holly Darlin': That's right. You better run, Cloud!

Delta Dawn: [catches up with Holly] No! Wait!

Holly Darlin': I'm gonna tear your little cloud arms...

Delta Dawn: Holly!

Holly Darlin': ...off your cloud body...

Delta Dawn: Nooo! Wait!

Holly Darlin': ...and high five your face with them!

Delta Dawn: He's just a cloud!

(The cloud runs through a tunnel with the Country Trolls following)

Holly Darlin': Get back here!

Delta Dawn: Holly! He can help us!

Holly Darlin': Come back!

Delta Dawn: Run, Cloud Guy!

Holly Darlin': I'm gonna kill you! [they stop]

Cloud Guy: Ta-da! We're here! You guys are a lot of fun. You know, I gotta go. Got some cloud stuff to take care of. Catch you on the way back? Unless... [in deep voice] you die. [echo fading]

(Then Cloud Guy leaves)

Delta Dawn: The Country Cactus.

HollyDarlin': [whispers] Scorpion Town.

(They see the Scorpions looking miserable)

Delta Dawn: Woah Holly, they look more miserable than you.

(Holly is unamused to hear it)

Delta Dawn: [gasps] Do you know what this means? They haven't eaten a Troll yet. And come on, our friends are still alive.

Holly Darlin': Your friends.

Delta Dawn: Our friends, don't fight it.
