Hop Pop: Hmm. Got any threes?

Polly: I ain't telling you nothing, old man.

From the basement, Anne's footsteps are heard; she kicks open the basement door and emerges, face completely broken out in the pimples.

Anne: AHHHHHHH!!!!!

Sprig: AAGH!!

Hop Pop: IS SOMEONE DEAD?!!!

Polly: WHY ARE WE YELLING!!??!!

Anne: Just...look at me.

They shows her breakout

The Plantar gasps

 Sprig: She's diseased!

They get out weapons.

Hop Pop: We have to quarantine her!

Polly: Don't struggle, Anne.

Sub-Zero: Relax, guys.

Anne: What? No, guys, it's not a disease. These are the pimples. It's just a human thing.

Hop Pop: Oh. False alarm, everyone. Just a human thing.

Polly: Hey Sub-Zero, why does Anne have pimples and you don't have.

Sub-Zero: I do, actually, but they're not as bad as Anne's.

He sighs with relief

Sprig: Okay.

She sighs

Anne: Everybody already treats me like a monster. This is just gonna make it ten times worse.

She groans

Sprig: Ah, come on. No one treats you like a monster, Anne.

Sub-Zero: Are you kidding? 

Anne: Neither Anne or me could even go outside without making a scene.

Flashback 

Anne and Sub-Zero whistling as they walks through town.

Villager: Ah! It's hideous.

Woman: Look away, Teddy. Just Look away.

They screaming

Anne: Ah, poop.

End of flashback.

Sprig: Okay, fair point, fair point. But who cares what they think? We like you.

Anne: Uh-huh. I'm going to go hide in the basement until this clears up.

Hop Pop: Sorry, Anne, but nobody's hiding anywhere today. I need help at the vegetable stand. We got a bumper crop of scream beans that need sellin'.

Screams beans: [screaming]

Merchant: Fresh crickets, ma'am? Always fresh.

Merchant: Worms! We got worms!

Villager: Are these grubs organic?

Hop Pop: All right, kids. Get out there and sell like your lives depend on it. Because they do. We-- We really need this.

Sprig: Come one, come all. Try the beans everybody's screaming about.

Screams beans: [screaming]

Sub-Zero: Beans, everyone. Wow, can you believe it?

Woman: Oh, gracious!

Villager: Like I'd buy beans from a monster.

Anne: Yup.
