Cut to the Wartwood Farmer's Market

Sprig: Ah, the Wartwood Farmer's Market, where salt of the earth frogs come to sell stuff and fill up on free samples.

He swallows a jar of Gentle Jon's Expensive Jellies.

Gentle Jon: That wasn't a sample.

He spits it back out

Sprig: Now it's like nothing happened. 

Gentle Jon use spike mace

Sprig: I-- I can pay for that.

She humming

Anne/Sub-Zero/Polly: Good morning, Mrs. Croaker.

Mrs. Croaker: I'll take this here gangly gourd, Hopediah.

Hop Pop: Oh, I sense a batch of Croaker stew coming on. Hmm... Hang on there, Sadie. You don't want that one. 

Hop Pop: Mm-hmm...A-ha! It's a gourd maggot. These guys taste terrible.

She screaming

Anne: It's in my hair! It's in my hair!

Sub-Zero: Hang on, Anne I'm coming!

Sub-Zero use golf club and smack the gourd maggot Anne hair

Hop Pop: Here, take this one, instead. It's maggot-free.

Mrs. Croaker: Classic Plantar honesty. I've been buying from this stand since your father was running it. And y'all have never steered me wrong.

Anne: Very impressive, Hop Pop.

Hop Pop: That is the Plantar difference, Anne and Sub-Zero. You can't taste honesty. But if you could--

Sprig and Polly:...it'd taste like a Plantar stand vegetable.

Hop Pop: This stand is the heart and soul of our family. I don't know what I'd do if we ever lost it.

Toadie: Bad news, everyone! Bad news! Gonna run away before you read it!

Hop Pop: That Toadie...

He mumbles

Hop Pop: Say what? Mayor Toadstool is quadrupling the rent! 

Sub-Zero: And he wants it in THREE DAYS!

Villager: Have you seen this?

Villager: This is outrageous!

Hop Pop: At this rate, we'll lose the stand. What are we gonna do?

Anne: Hmm...Got it! Snugaroos, blankets you wear over your clothes.

Hop Pop: What the--Anne and Sub-Zero, we're a vegetable stand.

Sub-Zero: No, I mean we need our own Snugaroo, a flashy new product.

Anne: Something like... like... A-ha! 

Anne use jar and gourd crack half

She grunts

Anne: A little bit of this.

Anne squeak gourd juice and throw it

Anne: Shake it up.

Anne shake the gourd juice

Anne: And... Introducing Plantar Potion. A hearty mix of vitamins and minerals that'll extend your life and keeps you regular.

Hop Pop: Wowza. All that in one jar?

Anne: Heck if I know, I just made all that up. But health drinks are all the rage back home. The best part, we can charge through the nose for them.
