Cut to the Wartwood Farmer's Market

Sprig: Ah, Harvest Day. My favorite holiday.

Polly: I'm hungry just thinking about it.

Anne: I get it. Frog Thanksgiving.

Sub-Zero: You even have a turkey.

Turkey: [shrieks]

They shudders

Anne: Eh, who am I kidding? We'll eat it.

Sub-Zero: Harvest Day! We're all in!

Hop Pop: Here, Girls. How 'bout you put these turnips

Hop Pop: "all in" our display?

Anne: All right, all right.

He hammering

Sub-Zero: Huh?

Anne: Go Farmers? What's that all about?

Sprig: The big bugball game, of course.

Hop Pop: Every year, Wartwood plays a friendly game of bugball.

Hop Pop: Farmers-- That's us-- versus the Townies.

Polly: And every year, the Townies destroy us! It's humiliating.

Sprig: And to top it off, the losers have to wear these ridiculous costumes for a whole week.

Turkey: [gobbling]

Hop Pop: Those outfits are so itchy.

Anne: Whew, tough break, you guys.

Sub-Zero: Hey, do you think We can make this?

They grunts

Anne: Ha! four-for-four, babies.

Frog: Ribbit.

Hop Pop: Anne, Sub-Zero, where'd you learn to shoot like that?

Anne: Learn? I don't know if you've noticed,

Sub-Zero: But the both of us have natural athletic abilities.

They fanfare and cheering

Hop Pop: You'd two would be perfect for bugball.

Sprig: If you both join our team, we might actually win!

Mayor Toadstool: Win?

He laughs

Mayor Toadstool: Not in a million years!

Mayor Toadstool: Hello, Farmers.

Mayor Toadstool: Allow me to introduce this year's Townie team.

Mayor Toadstool: First, we got Lydia, four time frog-lympian.

Mayor Toadstool: Olaf, who transferred from state.  

He exhales

Mayor Toadstool: Frog Jordan, who I literally bribed to join.

Frog Jordan: What's up?

Mayor Toadstool: And last but not least, Toadie, who is surprisingly good at this.

Mayor Toadstool: Mm-hmm, yes. Scary stuff, huh?

Mayor Toadstool: Be careful you Farmers don't soil yourselves on the field.

He laughs

Mayor Toadstool: Did you hear that? Soil?

Mayor Toadstool: Cause they're farmers.

They laughter

All groans
