[Jungkook is seen in Sahara Square where he is continuing his meter maid job. he prints out another ticket and puts in on the windshield of a red car. he wipes his brow. Through the reflection, he sees Finnick.]

Jungkook: Oh! Hey, little toot-toot...

[he notices Finnick holding a jar, and red juice is pouring out of a rain gutter. Tae is seen on top of a roof, melting the Jumbo-pop on a chimney grate. After he melts it completely, he tosses the stick down, slides down from the roof like a cool surfer, grabs the jars, and he and Finnick walk inside their van and drive off. Jungkook looks confused as he sees Finnick driving the van. he follows them to Tundratown and sees Tae and Finnick. Finnick is now in his animal form and is making paw prints in the snow and puts small popsicle sticks by them, while Tae pours the melted Jumbo-pop juice over it. Jungkook continues to watch them in confusion. Later, Tae is seen carrying a cart of small Pawpsicles. He looks at the clock and it chimes 5:00. Lemmings are seen exiting Lemming Brothers Bank.]

Taehyung: Pawpsicles! Get your pawpsicles.

[Some lemmings leave, then one of them takes notices and goes up to Tae, and the other lemmings follow. The lemmings pay Tae as he hands them the pawpsicles one by one. They eat the pawpsicles and throw the sticks in the recycle cans in unison. Finnick pops out from the recycle cans and pulls carts holding the discarded sticks to the van. Jungkook watches suspiciously from behind the grass and growls angrily, knowing he'd been conned.]

[In an alley, Tae is paying Finnick his share.]

Taehyung: Thirty-nine, forty. There you go. Way to work that diaper, big guy!
[Finnick takes off the costume and goes in the van.]
Hey! No bye-bye kiss for daddy?
[Finnick slams the door, spits out the pacifier and looks at Tae.]

Finnick: [in a deep gruff voice]
You kiss me tomorrow, I'll bite your face off! [French hip hop music starts playing; Finnick puts on shades] Ciao.
[Finnick drives off, revealing a glaring Jungkook. As Tae eats one of his own "pawpsicles", he stops at the sight of him.]

Jungkook: Well. I stood up for you, and you lied to me. You liar!

Taehyung: It's called a hustle, sweetheart. And I'm not the liar, he is!
[points the other way; Jungkook looks, but sees no one. he turns back and sees that Tae disappeared. he turns the other way and sees Tae walking away]

Jungkook: Hey! [chases Tae] All right, slick and sly Tae, you're under arrest.

Taehyung: Really, for what?

Jungkook: Gee, I don't know. How about selling food without a permit, transporting undeclared commerce across borough lines.

Taehyung: [shows a certificate] Permit, receipt of declared commerce.You can't touch me, Carrots. I've been doing this since I was born. Take care.

Jungkook: [threateningly] You're gonna want to refrain from calling me "Carrots."

Taehyung: My bad, I just naturally assumed you came from some little carrot-choked Podunk, no?

Jungkook: Uh, no. Podunk is in Deerbrooke County and I grew up in Bunnyburrow.

Taehyung: Okay. Tell me if this story sounds familiar.
[takes a blueberry from a stand and eats it] Naive little hick with good grades and big ideas decides, "Hey, look at me, I'm gonna move to Zootopia, where predators and prey live in harmony and sing "Kumbaya"!" Only to find - whoopsie - we don't all get along. And that dream of becoming a big-city cop? Double whoopsie! he's a meter maid. And whoopsie number three-sie, no one cares about Him or his dreams.
[As he says this,Jungkook looks sad and shocked that he knows everything]
And soon enough those dreams die,
[Jungkook gives him a look of shock and anger at the mention of the possibility of his dream dying]
and our bunny sinks into emotional and literal squalor, living in a box under a bridge. Till, finally, he has no choice but to go back home with that cute fuzzy-wuzzy little tail between his legs
[he bruhes his tail against the ground to emphasize]
to become... You're from Bunnyburrow, is that what you said? So how about a carrot farmer? Does that sound about right?
[walks off, leaving Jungkook stunned. Jungkook follows Tae]
