Ivy: Hi-yah! Think you can sneak up on me, alarm bug? I've been awake for hours!

She grunting

Ivy: Boom!

Felicia: Excuse me, young lady. Where do you think you're going?

Ivy: I'm meetin' Sprig for some Glitter Bug huntin'. I told you last night, remember?

Felicia: I remember saying you had to finish your chores first.

Ivy: Aww.

Felicia: Now let's see how good a job you did. Aha! What's this?

Ivy: A plate?

Felicia: A filthy plate! And just look at these napkin swans. Their necks are looking pretty sad.

Ivy: Aw, come on, Mom. They're good enough.

Felicia: They most certainly are not! Now fix your shoddy work or you aren't goin' anywhere, young lady.

Ivy: But, Mom, I'm gonna be late!

Felicia: Up, bup, bup. Should have thought of that before you rushed your chores.

She gasps

Felicia: Heavens! That'll be the morning rush! Come on in, everyone! My favorite time of day.

Felicia: Oh, Mr. Patterson, is that a new scarf?

She groans

He clears throat

Sprig: Hello, Ivy.

Sprig: Uh, how's it hanging, Ivy?

Sprig: Hmm.

Sprig: Oh, Ivy. Sorry, didn't see you there.

He grunts

Ivy: Ambush!

He grunts

Sprig: Hey, Ivy. I wasn't here talking to myself. That's for sure.

He chuckles

Ivy: Uh-huh. Well, sorry I'm late.

Ivy: My mom was on my case again. It's so annoying!

Sprig: I'm sure she's got her reasons. 

Ivy: I guess.

Anne/Sub-Zero/Polly: Muay Thai! Muay Thai! Muay Thai! Muay Thai! Muay Thai! Muay Thai!

Polly: We're Muay Thai-ing!

Sprig/Ivy: You're what?

Sub-Zero: It's a form of traditional Thai martial arts.

Anne: My mom enrolled me in a class when she realized how high-spirited I was.
