ROSE: [Excuse me! What am I, Chopped Grublets here?]

KANAYA: [Rose Please]

K: [I Am Certain This Is Simply A Misunderstanding Somehow]

R: [If anything, I’m more of an infant than her. At least in the traditional human sense.]

K: [Rose…]

K: [Lets Not Turn This Into Another Competition]

ROSE: [Kanaya and I would appreciate if everyone would keep their suggestions age-appropriate, thank you.]

KANAYA: [Rose My Love]

K: [Kiss Me]

R: [ .  .  . ]

ROSE: [You are welcome to try…]

KANAYA: [Okay You Are Beginning To Scare Me Now Rose]

K: [Rose]

K: [!!!]

KANAYA: [Well My Mother Grub Does Not Allow Me To Watch Very Much Television]

K: [But From What Ive Seen Of The Show With The Singing Marine Mollusks That Rose Seems Quite Fond Of]

K: [It Is Rather Enjoyable]

ROSE: [Oh really?]

K: [Err Yes]

K: [Is That A Problem]

ROSE: [I should think that retaining consciousness through the opening theme number would be bare minimum criterion for calling a program your favorite.]

KANAYA: [Oh]

K: [Well I Did Not Mean For My Lack Of Consciousness To Imply That I Was Not Thoroughly Enthralled]

K: [It Is Just Very Accommodating And Pleasantly Snug In Your Pile Of]

K: [What Did You Call Them]

K: [Tentacuddlers]

K: [?]

R: [Tangle buddies.]

ROSE: [My mother always stocks a handsome selection of soupy pastes by the dozen in sepia and verdant jars advertising pureed vegetable medleys and healthy, smiling offspring.]

R: [Is that what you desire, mother? Am I to aspire to be like those grinning cherubs? Well then, I feel it is only fair that you get your money’s worth considering the king’s ransom you must fork over to the Gerber corporation every month, I will accept this as my fate.]

R: [For the moment anyway.]

KANAYA: […]

R: [But I digress.]

R: [The dietary intricacies of Troll wrigglers remains a mystery to me however…]

ROSE: [As far as I can tell, darling Kanaya’s diet at least consists of a starchy substance called Grubmeal, as well as another curious Alternian foodstuff known as Chopped Grublets.]

R: [And what is it that you’re drinking?]

KANAYA: [Grubsmilk]

R: [Of course.]

R: [Why do I get the feeling that asking where that comes from will only sour my appetite?]

KANAYA: [There Was A Time When I Was Less Than Fond Of Activities That Necessitated A Certain Amount Of Dexterity]

K: [Due To A Lack Of Matured Appendages Drawing Has Always Proven To Be A Challenge To Say The Least]

K: [However I Have Been Receiving Counsel On The Subject From Several Of The Hatchlings In My Brood]

K: [Namely Nepeta And Terezi]

K: [Their Help Has Been Instrumental In Overcoming The Glaring Handicap That Is A Lack Of Hands]

K: [Now I Realize That I Actually Enjoy Drawing Quite A Bit]

KANAYA: [Hmm]

K: [Perhaps I Have Been Spending A Bit Too Much Time Around Those Two]

K: […]

KANAYA: [Well It Isnt Exactly A Toy]

K: [But My Rainbow Drinker Ensemble Is A Favorite Plaything Of Mine]

KANAYA: [Did I Scare You Rose]

K: [Rose]

K: [Why Are You Laughing]

K: [What Is So Funny]

K: [?]

ROSE: [Well it seems that a curious little bedbug, has invaded my bed-sheets.]

R: [I could be wrong now, but I was under the impression that you had no shortage of blankets to call your own. Is there something wrong with your blankies, Kanaya?]

KANAYA: [No]

K: [But]

K: [The Only Blankie I Have Any Interest In]

K: [Is A Blanket That Rose Is Already Under]

ROSE: [Yeah, yeah! I know, yes…]

R: [Fifty is a very impressive number and I’m sure we’re all very excited about it. Now if one of you could please make yourself useful and perhaps, begin to entertain the possibility of say, removing this affectionate wiggler from my face?]

R: [If its not too much trouble, that is.]

ROSE: [Nothing of note. You know, whatever it is that children our age would normally dream about.]

R: [Certainly nothing worthy of further dream analysis.]

KANAYA: [Wait]

K: [Further Analysis]

K: [?]
