Season 1 Episode 5: Hop Luck

Start from the beginning
                                    

Hop Pop: No, silly. It's a traditional recipe from my family's cookbook. We been using this baby since I was a pollywog.

Anne: (Looks through the book) Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I think I found your problem, guys. (The frogs gasp) Old things are dumb! (The frogs gulp at this news)

Y/N: Wow, real helpful Anne. (Anne hits him on the head with the book)

Polly: Oh, that makes sense.

Sprig: It's all so clear now.

Hop Pop: But we Plantars have always cooked these recipes. What would my great-gam-gam say?

Anne: (Looks at a picture of the frog, who's knitting a blanket with the words "Tradition means Everything" on it) She'd say "Move on."

Hop Pop: (Sighs) She was a fierce woman.

Anne: Look, if we're gonna win this thing, we need something new, something revolutionary, something no one in the swamp has ever seen before. Something like... (Sprig gasps) Pizza! (Shows a picture of it on her phone)

Sprig: Whoa.

Polly: I don't know what it is, but I love it.

Anne: Pizza is the ultimate dish. You haven't lived until you've shared one with your friends at the mall.

Y/N looks slightly sad after hearing that. He never really had friends he could hang out with, he didn't really have friends to begin with, but his face begins to lighten up a bit since he's in this new world with at least a couple new friends.

Hop Pop: Now, now, hold on. Before we get carried away, what about this tried-and-true recipe? Swamp mold pot pie! (Shows a picture, which gets Sprig and Polly to chant Pizza) Okay, okay. Sheesh.

Sprig: We'll win for sure with this, Hop Pop.

Anne: Now all we gotta do is-- (Clears throat) All we gotta do is get four ingredients-- dough, cheese, basil, and tomatoes (Y/N begins to write that down for himself) Are you guys ready to make our pizza dreams a pizza reality?

Sprig/Polly: Pizza dreams!

Sprig: Oh! Oh! Maybe we should put pineapple on it. Seems like a natural fit. (Groans as Anne pins him to the wall)

Anne: (Whispers) Don't you dare talk about pineapple on my pizza. Ever. (Suddenly in Y/N's head a light bulb goes off, signaling that for the first time in forever he has an idea) Okay. Let's go get those ingredients. Pizza dreams! (Leaves the kitchen)

Sprig: (Weakly) Pizza dreams.

Polly: (Shakes Sprig) Pizza dreams!

Soon, we see the main five outside the bakery, where Mr Flour, the baker, is seen rolling on dough before stomping on it and tossing it into the oven.

Mr. Flour: If you want the dough, the boy has to marry my daughter. (Sees Y/N getting ready to introduce himself) No, not you. The Pink one. (Points to Sprig) he's gotta marry my dear Maddie.

Y/N: (Sadly) How did I get turned down by a frog?

Mr Flour points behind him, revealing his daughter, Maddie Flour, who's holding a voodoo doll of Sprig while ominous music plays.

Maddie: (Creepily) Hiiiii, Spriiiiiiig...

Mr. Flour: Ain't she adorable?

Anne: Done.

Hop Pop: You know, if we used a traditional recipe, we wouldn't have to sell Sprig.

Anne: No! That old book is old. Sprig's eternal happiness is a small price to pay for pizza.
