Sprig: Wow, Anne, look at all your cool stuff! What's this? Ah, I get it. Torture device.

Anne: That's a toenail clipper.

Sprig: Oh, okay, okay, sure. Oh! How about this? What does this do?

Hop Pop: Kids, Chow Time!

Kids: Time to eat! Time to eat!

Hop Pop: Hold on, you kids. Hold on.

Kids: Time to eat!

Anne: Ugh! Uh, you know what? I think I'm gonna pass.

Sub-Zero: Me too, my doctor says I need to be an all bug diet.

Hop Pop: Why? Is my food not good enough for the princesses?

Anne: Well, if I'm the princesses, then you're the king of bad cooking.

They chuckles

Sprig: Ohhh!

Polly: Oh oh oh!

Sub-Zero: You gonna get burn!

Hop Pop: Oh, yeah? Well, you... I...

Sub-Zero: What's the matter, Hop Pop? Frog in your throat?

Polly: Ohhh!

Sprig: Oh, he got you again!

Hop Pop: Oh, dang it! You know what? I'm gonna take a nap. I don't believe this. I feed you, I house you, and this is how you repay me? If you don't shape up soon, Anne and Sub-Zero, I'm throwin' you out!

Anne: Yeesh. What's his problem?

She grabs a cane and hunches over speaking like an old man

Anne: I'm Hop Pop, and I cook bad and have a temper problem!

They laughing

Sprig: That's so Hop Pop!

Anne: Eat your aphids, don't play with them. Elbows off the table!

They both laughing

Anne: Sometimes I wonder why I even bother putting up with you at all!

She breaks the cane; Sprig and Polly gasp.

Anne: Oopsies. Guess I don't know my own strength, right, guys?

Sub-Zero: You guys okay?

Anne: What's the big deal? It's just one cane.

Sprig: That wasn't just any cane. It was Hop Pop's special cane, passed down from his father, Hop Poppity Pop, all the way from his father, Hop-and-Lock-Drop Soppity Pop.

Anne: Oh! You guys gotta help me. 

Sub-Zero: Us.

Anne: He's gonna kick us out the second he finds out about this. We cannot go back to living in a cave!
