Sprig: What's wrong?

Sub-Zero: Are you stung?

Sprig: We'll have to amputate.

Anne: No. This caterpillar looks exactly like my cat Domino from back home.

Larva Domino 2: [meows and purr]

Anne: I love my cat more than anything in the world. She was irreplaceable. But now I found a replacement. Let's take her home with us!

Sprig: Eh, I don't know, Anne. That's a wild animal. I'm not sure bringing it home is a good idea.

Anne: Pshh. That's ridiculous.

Larva Domino 2: [purring]

Sub-Zero: My cat back home was a stray before I adopted her. 

Sub-Zero: To be honest, that's creepy and also adorable both at the same time.

Sub-Zero:  All it takes is love and patience and... love. Beside like me, Anne is feeling pretty homesick.

Sprig: You said "love" twice.

Anne and Sub-Zero holds the caterpillar near him and it licks him.

Sprig: Sold!

Anne: It's settled. I hereby dub thee "Domino 2." Come on, girl. Let's go home.
