Cut to the Plantar Farm in the Morning

They sips drink

Rooster crows

Rooster: COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO.

They yawns

Anne: Ahh.

Sub-Zero: What a day.

Sprig: Guys, Guys, Guys, Gu--

Sub-Zero: Coffee first.

They sips and gulps

Sub-Zero: And continue.

Sprig: Guys, Guys, Guys Look what I found! A blue moon shell.

Anne: Pretty.

Sprig: Yup! And you know who's gonna love it? Ivy! Tomorrow's her birthday. And this is the perfect gift.

Sub-Zero: Aww, that's so cute.

Hop Pop: Morning, kids! Time to start the chores. Whoa! Is that a blue moon shell?

He gasps

Hop Pop: Beautiful! You know, some frogs die never having seen one.

She laughs

Polly: Suckers!

Hop Pop: Anyway, enough dilly-dallying. Chore time! Bessie's waste ain't gonna shovel itself.

Sprig: Well, don't wanna get this thing dirty.

He whistle

Anne: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Anne: You're just gonna leave that there?

Sub-Zero: Someone's gonna steal it.

Sprig: No, they won't. This is Wartwood, Anne and Sub-Zero, not some den of thieves.

Sprig: I will do no such thing! I trust my community. And frankly, Anne, I pity you for not trusting yours.

Anne: Okay, okay. Sheesh.

Hop Pop: Kids, get your butts over here!

Sprig and Anne and Sub-Zero wearing the Gas Mask

Sprig and Anne and Sub-Zero: Coming, Hop Pop.

After we finish the Hop Pop chore

Sprig: Glad that's over with.

Anne: Well, I'm scarred for life.

Sprig: Yup. But never mind that. Look. The blue moon shell. Right where I left it. Wait. Wait a minute. What? The shell. The shell's not here. I've been ROBBED!

Anne: Well, I don't wanna tell you, "I told you so." But--

He sobs

Sprig: Ivy's birthday is tomorrow, and I've got nothing.

He sobs and pants

Anne: Okay, first, calm down.

He breathing heavily

Sub-Zero: Second, maybe we can track this thief down.

Anne: Quick. Look for clues. Well, well, well. What do we have here?

Sprig: Oh, that's just waxed yarn. They sell it at the Grub & Go.

Anne: Well, then, let's Grub & Go there to catch our thief.

He chuckles

Sprig: Nice.

Anne: Finally, hundreds of hours of watching trash cop shows is gonna pay off.
