Red Eyed Frog: Happy Shut‐In!

Knight Helmet Frog: Thank you.

They laughing

They knocking

Anne/Sub-Zero/Polly/Sprig: Stay inside, hide your eyes, give us practical supplies!

Felicia: Oh, you're just in time. I've got one last box of nails. And they're rusty.

Anne: Ooh. 

Sprig: The good stuff!

Anne/Sub-Zero/Sprig: Thank you.

Felicia: Happy Shut‐In, kids.

Anne: You too, Felicia.

Polly: Happy Shut‐In!

Sprig: Right back at ya!

Anne: Ooh. Man, this is a workout. 

Sub-Zero: Explain this holiday to us again.

Sprig: It's not a holiday, Guys. It's the annual Blue Moon Shut‐In.

Polly: We need the supplies to survive through the night.

Anne: Huh. Well, you know, we have a similar thing in my world called Halloween. We say "Trick or treat," and people give you free candy.

Polly: Free candy! What's the catch?

Sub-Zero: If they don't give it to you, you get to play a trick on them.

She gasps

Polly: That is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

Hop Pop: Hey, kids. What'd y'all get for tonight's Shut‐In? Show me the goods.

Polly: I got a hatchet.

Sprig: I got a first‐aid kit.

Anne: I got a flamethrower!

Sub-Zero: I got a trident!

Anne uses said weapon: surprised and jealous, Polly and Sub-Zero tosses her hatchet and trident on the ground and pouts

He screams

Stumpy: Ooh. Been there.

Gourd Carver: I need a bath.

Anne: You sure this isn't a holiday? You even have jack‐o'‐lanterns.

Hop Pop: Those are fear gourds, Anne, and, yes, I'm sure.

Hop Pop: The Shut‐In is dangerous, for tonight the moon turns blue, and anyone who gazes upon it becomes a hideous beast!

Sub-Zero: And is this true or just a legend?

Sub-Zero: 'Cause sometimes it's hard to get a handle on what's real around here.

Sprig: No one knows, Sub-Zero. 

Hop Pop: And no one wants to find out!

Polly: Ever.

Anne: You guys are really close to my face right now.

Cut to the Plantar Farm

Anne: Whoa. So when you say "shut‐in," you really mean it, huh?

Sprig: It's actually kinda nice. We sit by the fire‐‐

Polly: And tell spooky stories.

Sprig: And Bessie hides in her shell till morning.

Sub-Zero: Cool! Let's get this holiday started.
