All: Mmm!

Sprig: Anne and Sub-Zero, we'd sure appreciate it.

Anne: So, what you making over there, Hop Pop? Sock gumbo?

Hop Pop: No, silly. It's a traditional recipe from my family's cookbook. We been using this baby since I was a pollywog.

Sub-Zero: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I think I found your problem, guys.

Anne: Old things are dumb!

They gulps

Polly: Oh, that makes sense.

Sprig: It's all so clear now.

Hop Pop: But we Plantars have always cooked these recipes. What would my great-gam-gam say?
