[At the Plantar house, Sprig and Polly are doing dishes and winter was on the couch reading her book.]

Polly: [licking a fork] La-la-la-la.

Anne: *Look, dude, all I'm saying is that where I'm from you could get arrested for having a couch this firm.*

Hop Pop: *Back in my day we didn't have furniture. We sat on rocks. Sharp ones.*

Anne: *Okay. But if I get butt blisters, I'm blaming you.*

Hop Pop: *Back in my day we called those "character".*

[Shot cuts to the outside of the Plantar house. As Sprig rakes leaves, Anne carries a crate of vegetables outside.]

Anne: (groaning) *So... heavy.*

Hop Pop: *Mind the flagstone.*

[Anne trips on a rock and falls down.]

Hop Pop: *Back in my day, kids spent less time complainin' and more time watching their step.*

Anne: *Yeah? Well, where I'm from people fixed their crummy houses.*

Hop Pop: (gasps) *This house is like family! You apologize!*

Anne: *To a house?*

[Cut to Polly and winter playing solitaire in the living room. A loud thud is heard.]

Anne: *Where I'm from, we didn't rush people in the bathroom!* [Another thud is heard.]

Hop Pop: *Well, back in my day we didn't have a bathroom!* [Another thud.]

Anne: *Stop hitting the door with a battering ram!*

Hop Pop: *It's been two hours!*

Sprig: (yells) *I can't take this anymore!*

Polly: *They're just getting used to each other. It's not a big deal.*

Winter: *I know I can't stand it but yeah i agree with Polly it's not really a big deal*

Sprig: *Not a big deal? Do you remember the Henderson's next door? They used to argue all the time, and look what happened to them.*

[Wally loots the Henderson's house which looks abandoned.]

Wally: *Nothing like scavenging the remains of a broken frog family.*

Sprig: *If we don't do something now, it won't be long before their bickering tears this family apart.*

Polly: *I still think we should just give them time. Not like we have a lot of options. You can't force people to get along.*

Winter nods in agree with Polly

Sprig: (having an idea) *Of course not, Polly. Of course not... Of course-*

Polly: *Just go already!*

Winter: *hm wanna play again*

Polly: *sure!*

[Shot cuts to the back of the Plantar house.]

Hop Pop: (sighs)

[A flock of flies honking like geese fly pass.]

Sprig: *We've been robbed!*

Hop Pop: [shocked] *Say whaaaaat?*

Anne: (laughs) *Sorry. Sorry. It's just that Hop Pop delivered the perfect sitcom catchphrase.*

Hop Pop: *Must be painful to make so little sense all the time.*

Hop Pop: [gasps] *My prize-winnin' corn!*
