Sub-Zero: That's because in Amphibia, we weren't in hiding.

Sprig: Ugh, fine.

Polly: I still can't believe you actually LIKED that movie! It was stuffed with predictable tropes and lazy writing!

Hop Pop: We have got to cut back on your internet use.

Polly: All I'm saying is that you'd have to be pretty dense to think any of that would be possible. First of all, the idea that a vigilante would be given free rein...

in his thoughts

Sprig: He was just a mild-mannered frog boy who never made a fuss.
