#sweet pea riverdale

Getting ready to watch last nights episode of Riverdale. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you think my entire being will be destroyed?

All my babies wanted was a good education and you gave them this? WTF Riverdale….WTF. 

Riverdale S6B, Ep #101 (“Unbelievable”)

Hello people I am back. Spoilers and gratuitous longing for Sweet Pea follow. 

A bomb blew up the Andrews house to smithereens but the Cooper house is completely unscathed.  I don’t know why that strikes me as less creepy than the fact that Alice Cooper is wearing her hair exactly like her surviving daughter’s.

We open with  Betty, Archie and Jughead sitting in the Cooper home, trying to explain what happened at the end of S5 to Alice and Frank.  Then Alice asks each of them a question, followed by a suggestion that all of them need to go to the hospital.   This is one of the very few instances in SIX SEASONS that Alice Cooper actually had a direct exchange of dialogue with Jughead Jones and it feels a bit momentous.   Archie doesn’t want to go get medical care, Betty doesn’t want to either, but tellingly, Jughead Jones can’t afford  to go.  That he wants to might be inferred, because he doesn’t say he doesn’t want to, or that he doesn’t think he needs to.  And the entire table of people - his childhood best friend, his childhood girlfriend that he hallucinates as a ministering angel when he’s in a literal pit, his dad’s ex girlfriend and mother to his half brother - all just STARE AT HIM and say nothing. Nobody offers help - not even Veronica Lodge’s financial resources (which are considerable, as we shall see later). 

Along with gentrification and small town blight, the insurmountable terror of hospital bills in a for-profit medical system is a theme that Riverdale consistently brings up and I feel very sorry for you all. (I live in a universal healthcare country and actually, people who immigrated to America repatriate when they run into health problems and exploit the health system they didn’t pay into and local politics issues of no interest to anyone reading this sorry).

Alice being very insistent about getting medical care for Betty makes me feel very much for the fact that both Archie and Jughead are motherless, with living mothers. Because Uncle Fucking Frank doesn’t do what Fred would’ve wanted and also insist that Archie get a check up after a bomb literally exploded under his actual bed.  He just wants facts.  I hate him so much.  

The Andrews house looks absolutely unsalvageable.

Jughead, upon very clear confirmation that nobody from his pre-time jump life cares about him, directly goes to the Diner, where the only two people who give a shit what happens to him (that would be Tabitha and Pop Tate) are trying to run a business in a similarly bombed out Chock’Lit Shoppe.  Riverdale pulling at my Jughead heartstrings here, because Tabitha has a concerned reaction (“What???”) but Jughead reverts to thinking up the only way (he has been led by his so-called friends to think) he adds value to anyone else’s life: He’s going to write an article about what happened to him in a way that makes it relevant for people who are not him.  What a long winding way to get attention and care.

The shoulder-grab move he does to beg Tabitha for a place to stay (because they haven’t moved in together yet because that happened in Rivervale and this is already too taxing for my brain) was also extremely sad.   He doesn’t seem entirely sure that he’s going to get a yes answer.  And because Jughead summarily says that everyone is fine, Tabitha looks worried but doesn’t come at him with You Have to Go To the Hospital the way Alice, who has seen the actual aftermath of the explosion felt compelled to do.

As he leaves the diner, the actual physical damage the explosion wreaked on Jughead manifests in the form of tinnitus.  Because he has done the most important things: Gotten affirmation that someone cares about him, figured out a place to stay, given himself a project.  The show makes it seem like he gets tinnitus from the bell on the door of the diner but I really think this was needing the basics cared for first.

Toni and Fangs tell Kevin they are now romantic, but very much bisexual and Riverdale is a funny funny show because literally a second after they drop this ‘bombshell,’ Sheriff Keller calls Kevin with news of the explosion at the Andrews House, and he must’ve said, “A bomb went off” since Kevin says exactly those words in the form of a question. Yes Kevin, a bomb did just go off in your life, in more ways than one.

I like the idea of Choni, I really do, but those two have never had any sexual chemistry.  And now we have Fangs and Toni - Tangs? Foni?  - and they have repellent energy and I don’t know what to do anymore. All three people are TV beautiful so why is this such a lacunae, a VOID, of sexual tension?

The phone tag the Riverdale community plays in the aftermath of the explosion is very funny. Betty and Archie have no friends in the community and so tell nobody.  Jughead has a friend, and that’s Tabitha so he goes to tell her himself.  Kevin is told by his dad and his first instinct is to call Veronica.  Somehow Britta hears about this from somewhere else and is the one to tell Cheryl.  

Britta has the same elaborate braids they used to give Jellybean when she lived in the Cooper house. Does this mean something?

I’m just going to leave this note for myself here. I have absolutely no recall of whatever Abigail’s curse was or whatever it was that happened with that.  This must’ve been sometime in s5, pre Rivervale and I’m so sorry but I just don’t recall.  Cheryl is freaking out about the curse being real and Nana Rose claiming she burned the piece of paper with the magic recipe on it or whatever, and I just have no idea what she’s talking about.  I apologize. 

One of the major events of this episode was the absolute demolition of Mary Andrews.  I’ve always thought she was a  total failure as a mother - more so than Alice Cooper (Yes that’s what I said - she of the Giving Yale Money To the Cult) and Penelope Blossom (Son Worshipping Serial Killer Brothel Madam) and Gladys Jones (who definitely beat up Jughead as a small kid and all the rest of it).  Mary Andrews just does not care about her son.  Absolutely indifferent.    Everything she does in the rest of the episode is absolute villainy. Unforgivable.

And Uncle Frank seems to know this.  The stone cold clarity of this exchange had me in stitches. 

Frank: Have you called your Mom? 

Archie: No not yet. I don’t wanna worry her.

Frank: It’s her house, Archie. 

Mary Andrews will want to know that her property in Riverdale has in demolished by a bomb, is what Frank is saying.  Mary Andrews the homeowner will care about the house.  Mary Andrews will want to know the state of her real estate investment in Riverdale. She does not and will not worry about Archie. Frank knows this and says it straight.

Then the second funniest bit of this episode happens. The Vet who is looking after Bingo, who somehow didn’t die after being crushed under a wall or something in the explosion, comes out and asks the Bear and the Redhead  if they are “Bingo’s Dads.” Archie is Gay joke goes here.

Tinnitus is getting bad for Jughead while typing in Tabitha’s apartment (where he doesn’t live).  The interior is exactly the same as it is in Rivervale.  She and Jughead are wearing the same shade of brown in their outerwear - hers is leather, his is suede.   This made me happy. She also brought him food because she thought he would be in the zone.   Jughead is still lying to Tabitha by omission about his hearing problem, and instead says that he’s going to write the article about Hiram Lodge rather than about the ‘cherished’ Andrews home.  

Riverdale writing room really coming for the Jughead stans in this episode.  Who exactly cherished this home? It isn’t really Archie, per se.  It’s Jughead, for sure.  But anyway, he’s still trying to ‘buy’ standing and legitimacy through writing, and in the short term he achieves this goal because Tabitha has a bone to pick with Lodge as well.  The searching look Jughead gives her retreating back is him trying to figure out if he can admit to having an actual problem and not get rejected out of hand or treated with cruelty. He’s  not sure.

Tangs/Foni doesn’t really work as a couple for me but what they really truly don’t work as is gang leaders.  Fangs was the also ran sidekick to Sweet Pea who used to be the main muscle.  Toni was kind of a mafia princess type, who was given a certain amount of standing by dint of birth.  Neither have any sort of  the air of recklessness or danger about them.  I don’t believe you,  at all.  Physically small, pretty people CAN be scary, but these two are not it.

“We can’t be as reckless as we once were” is what Toni says, which ignores the fact that the Serpents under Jughead were a daycare center that things happened to, and when she and Fangs took off for college, it was entirely dormant and existed physically only in the form of Sweet Pea.  Now there are about 11 Serpents hanging around in what seems to be the Whyte Wyrm, though the basement space under the diner is magic and can expand or shrink depending on the story’s needs, and right this moment it looks very tiny. 

Pandemic regulations are starting to ease up, and the way the group shots are presented in this episode made me wonder if they are going to do discussions about 2020-2022 television tropes thirty or fifty years from now.  This is how it apparently works in Canada:  Only two people can sit in any close proximity to each other, others can stand in groups but must face in the same direction AND NOT TALK. 

There’s nothing about this ragtag cluster of people staring silently at Fangs and Toni that would scare even me, a super-femme-y,  short, soft-bellied, bespectacled desk jockey. (If we meet in the wilds of the real world this is how you can recognize me.) This looks like a gang run by Mickey and Minnie Mouse.  When Minnie Mouse (um, Toni Serpent Queen) mentions Twyla Twist, the new Ghoulie leader, they play a rattlesnake sound effect over her name. Even though she’s a Ghoulie. Is this Toni’s inner Serpent coiling at her?

Since the show stupidly wrote off Sweet Pea (#justiceforsweetpea) can we at least get Peaches back? The only reason the Ghoulie leader has to be this new Twyla lady is because there is no way that Toni would in any way be a force to reckon with for a criminally minded male villain. Everyone loses. I hate it here.

Cheryl is doing candle magic.  Riverdale the show tells us through Britta’s worried eyes and scared line delivery that we “now believe in magic and curses.”   This is a statement of purposes stated in the form of a question.   Cheryl answers by saying “a new age of wonderment is upon us.”  This completes the statement of where the show is going to go now. Strap in everybody.

Chicago is the source of all badness this episode (Mary Andrews lives there, Twyla Twist comes from there).   

Archie has visited Betty at the hospital.   “Everyone keeps texting and calling to check in” says Betty. Me too, says Archie.  But Jughead (without Tabitha) is all alone.  (Tabitha is real right? She’s exchanged dialogue with Veronica, so she’s absolutely real. I’m suddenly worried Tabitha may be a Jughead hallucination and he’s really as alone as I fear.)  This ‘peek’ into their being close and intimate together is beautiful looking, the hospital lights glowing yellow, haloing Betty.  Archie saved Betty but neither of them understand what’s happened. Both are disturbed.

Someone has blown out Cheryl’s magic candles so she’s very annoyed, but the important part of the exchange she has with Nana Rose is that Cheryl calls her an old maid. Is this not her grandmother? (Even if not biological?) Didn’t Nana Rose mention being married to a husband who stepped out on her and um, fathered those feral Blossoms who lived in the woods??  Does old maid mean something different to Cheryl?

When Betty checks out of the hospital is when Alice mentions INTERNAL BLEEDING. So there’s still no ambulance or law enforcement in Riverdale, and once again, everything Alice says is quite sensible as well as applicable to Jughead and Archie. Why does Frank never suggest this basic check up to Archie??

I am four pages into this word document but the show just showed me the Producer’s name. 

So Jughead and Tabitha are having breakfast.  Jughead is suffering from the disorienting effects of his steadily worsening ear problem while Tabitha is exulting over his article.   So we never hear it. The Show’s commitment to never showing us Jug’s writing after Bughead ended is absolute.   I am curious as to why Jughead feels like he has to entirely give up fiction altogether when people he’s not really friends with (the Serpents) didn’t like it, and, yeah, his agent fired him for attempted plagiarism but to become an untrained gonzo journalist seems like a drastic turn.

Veronica and Betty have a short discussion - the FBI is going to go after Hiram, and the Lodge sisters will do the same.   Archie is getting very heavy in his gym.  The orderly that Betty saw glow red killed someone.  Hermosa is a disembodied voice on the phone. I want more Hermosa. 

The FBI office in Riverdale is hopping (there are at least 8 other agents in addition to Glen and Betty).  The shot set up is the same as with the Wyrm - Glen and Betty in one shot, or Betty and another agent in another shot, but group shots are held far away from people who have dialogue and are silent. 

You know how the evil orderly glowed red?  Veronica is now sitting in a very red lit room as she looks over Hiram’s evil doings, apparently dug up by Hermosa, when Reggie bounces in to say that he told his dad he needed time off from the car dealership.  

Veronica treats the documentation she has on Hiram as confidential to Reggie but not her plans to kill Hiram, which is an interesting choice.  Veronica also will not give any of this information to Betty, nor does Betty FBI agent ask her for any.   Veronica also says that her father will never “stop gunning for us” so I have to ask - Who is US? Does blowing up Archie’s house count as US?  What is the significance of this house to Veronica? Her attempt to live in that house and be wifey in it is what blew up her relationship with Archie.  

Meanwhile Betty is working late, so she’s super annoyed when Glenn comes in and tries to hit on her while drunk. The way Betty says the name “Archie” when asked who she’s seeing, and then says he satisfied her more than Glenn. This is an exact echo of Veronica telling the husband she eventually shoots dead that all she needed was Archie.  The thing is, even though Betty sees the red glow, what Glenn does is just look annoyed.  Betty punches him straight in the face, breaking his nose, because he takes a single step towards her.  Um. Yay? I guess?   

Archie never fights other men for women (he didn’t have to fight Sweet Pea for Josie, for example) but the women around him do violence.

Mary is such a problem. “How did you not die?” she cries, while weeping, but then she says a crazy thing (”It was your dad”) but doubles down to say this is the only thing that makes sense. 

Ownership of this house is an interesting issue.  Jughead ‘cherished’ this house.  Frank says the house is Mary’s (This is legally correct).   Mary says the house is Fred’s (“It’s his house”) and that’s probably emotionally correct.  Archie wants to live there for the rest of his life.  Veronica could not find a berth there. Hiram blew it up. 

Veronica calls in a dude who is coded Russian (He answers the phone with “Da”)  for the assassination job on Hiram.  There are Italian gangsters, Quebecois gangsters, the Lodges speak Spanish and were Catholic and seemed to be coded Cuban.  But the assassin is  Anatol and speaks with a Eastern European accent.   This seems unnecessary. 

Hiram’s death costs $2M. How much money does Veronica have? 

Reggie’s dad had a heart attack the day after Reggie says he doesn’t want to focus on the business anymore.  Marty Mantle’s shittiness as a father knows no bounds, because he absolutely refuses to release Reggie to live his own life, follow his own path. (Yes I am yelling at a man for having the wrong kind of heart attack.  Abuse your children -> I hope you die.)

Twyla Twyst is surprisingly maternal-seeming and is closer to the Fred/Mary generation.  She has the same assessment of the current era Serpents as I do.  And really, Toni’s absolute inability to be scary is what limits how bad Twyla can be. This is a huge pity.  Twyla doesn’t have the unpredictable grit of Gladys Jones nor the smart-person-stuck-with-idiots irritability of Penny Peabody.  She looks a lot like Ashley Judd, so I keep expecting her to sing a rockabilly song. I’m so annoyed. 

Hiram had time to make a deal with the Ghoulies before leaving town. OK - so the Ghoulies had Malachai, then Malachai and Penny, and then just Penny, then there’s this weird dormant period (Sweet Pea did say it was a long time since they rumbled with the Ghoulies and he was excited about it).  They had to bring in someone from Chicago, so she must’ve been some sort of Regional HQ. The geography is weird- the Serpents have an  Ohio branch and the Ghoulies have a big branch with this serious minded woman in Illinois.  Hiram had all this time to keep up contact with the straggler Ghoulies in Riverdale who managed to get a message to others in Chicago? Is there where Malachai is?

Serpent Mickey and Minnie Mouse are just not scary.  They just aren’t.  Sweet Pea is sorely missed.   

Archie meanwhile is doing a second, even larger clean up of his/ his dad’s/ his mom’s  house since moving back to Riverdale and having it destroyed in some way.  The way Archie tests his power, which he thinks he has now, is to punch an entire doorframe to pieces in the middle of clean up. This is the guy that is better than Glenn and better than Chad.  The only thing he does better is that he’s not a rapist and not a woman killer.  The standard is below the floor and I’m so depressed.

Mickey and Minnie not being scary is part of a giant problem (oh is this intentional?).  When Fangs says Twyla is stone cold crazy, it doesn’t land. Not with me because I saw Twyla and she doesn’t seem even a little bit crazy (Betty is much crazier) and not with Archie.  Instead of saying she’s crazy, Fangs may have been better off saying something like -  Twyla knows how to be an actual criminal and she’s twice our age and is professional about this including having direct contact information with Hiram and knowing how to get direct deposit links from offshore bank accounts… may have worked better.  But Fangs says someone’s crazy and Archie just looks at him.  They are waiting to hear back from FP.  

So FP talks to Fangs but not Jughead. 

Archie being the prize boy is kind of a problem.  He goes to where the Ghoulies are - doesn’t tell his FBI agent girlfriend, his sheriff’s son childhood friend, nothing to no one - and just goes to inflict violence. 

Reggie’s dad sickened and died in Rivervale, and he sickened and collapsed in Riverdale . Rivervale’s Reggie didn’t get to really reconcile but Riverdale Reggie says it “kills him the most” that his dad and he had reached peace at last.  The hospital room of reconciliation is orange but Veronica when she has to hear from the hyper-efficient Anatole that Hiram is dead is in a red-lit space.  She weeps. 

Archie has beaten up so many people so badly he is COVERED with blood. It’s kind of gruesome.  Betty has no reaction to people being so wounded as to bleed on him as long as Archie is not hurt. Is this a commentary on the FBI or on Betty? 

Jughead the neglected child who comes up with something self incriminating to say because everyone was willing to believe him this whole time - “I was in my head” when he’s directly asked, “Couldn’t you hear him?” and then Tabitha refusing to take that first defensive answer because she’s observed him (closely and lovingly!) and knows what his tells are. OH THIS IS SO GOOD. 

Betty goes to interrogate (off books?) of the killer Trevor, hospital orderly.   They have the Virgin Mary behind Betty’s left, fully visible and lit in the orange light of reconciliation in her alcove, as she’s confronting the woman killing hospital orderly.  The Virgin Mary looking over Betty Cooper’s shoulder might be the only time in my life when I do not feel positive about the Virgin Mary.  The Virgin is still visible when Betty smiles so pretty at her boyfriend threatening the orderly with broken arms (“He’ll do it too”).

Betty and Archie tell each other their weird secret superpowers in the red glow of a different alcove at the Whyte Wyrm.  There’s an interesting array of posters right behind Archie but I don’t know how to get screen grabs.  One of them just says Southside Serpents with the snake design that’s all their tattoos (oh is Archie still a Serpent?) (But Jughead isn’t?)  Is this leftover or is this a recruitment poster?

In any case Archie, after doing whatever it is he’s done to the however-many Ghoulies he wounded (we haven’t seen yet), is now worried about his potential for ‘hurting people.’  But he doesn’t think Ghoulies are people.   Betty doesn’t think Ghoulies are people either.  Still bathed in the red glow of danger and death, Betty tells Archie about Glen getting ‘handsy’ and tells him not to do anything. She is very confident that Archie can’t mean ill, because she can see the red aura, except they’re both sitting in THE REDDEST place on earth and it’s not clear to me how she would see Archie’s aura if it’s red, given HOW RED the booth is.

Britta is possessed by Abigail.  When did this curse invocation happen? Was that Rivervale? I just don’t remember.

The clean up of the Andrews house continues.   And now comes Percival.  When asked by Percival, Mary says she’s the owner.  She doesn’t feel the need to consult with Archie at all whatsoever about what to do about this house.  Mary Andrews treats her son with the exact indifference that her son treated Jughead when it was clear Jughead wasn’t doing OK.   This is something he gets from Mary then?  In any case, she never asks, Do you have to find a new place to live?

When Glen comes to work, Betty is seated (didn’t she JUST MAKE FBI agent?) and the three women are standing around her denoting status plus she’s the one running the meeting.   And she reassigned ALL the men inclusive of Glen.   Subject of a sexual harassment investigation (?). Um. OK.   I don’t think Betty knows how sexual harassment investigations work, because Glenn could totally fight this and win. 

Going with someone to the blighted hospital in Riverdale is an act of love.  Betty is the only person on the planet that Alice says she loves, so she went with her. Then we have Tabitha who went with Jughead.  Jughead can now just be very honest about not being able to hear. Oh Jughead is so defeated when he says the percentages for the hearing damage he’s sustained, but he does get to hear, “We’re going to get through this together” 

Mary Andrew’s villain arc is complete with the revelation that she insists on Archie BUYING the cursed house from her.  She judges him for his decision, but she makes sure she doesn’t lose any money, because seriously, Archie acquires a mortgage, to buy a completely busted up house, from his mother, the lawyer who lives in Chicago.    I think she’s actually really pleased that the money she’d been ‘forced’ to put into a college fund for Archie (probably at Fred’s urging) can now come right back into her pocket.  I hate her so much.  (Is  the availability and unaffordability of real estate a huge problem where I live?  Why yes! How could you tell?)

Veronica lies to Reggie about killing her dad. There was an unexpected echo between Veronica and Tabitha - Tabitha has her sad reaction over Jughead’s hearing problems over his shoulder, and Veronica has her guilty one over Reggie’s.

Nana Rose stood up for this one and she’s weirdly following like, Catholic rules - Latin works better than English for magic and prayer.  

The call from Twyla  declaring war on the serpents happens when Toni and Fangs are in red light at the Wyrm. 

Archie assaults Glen. I’m now sure that Archie DID glow red when he was telling Betty that he’s invulnerable and she in her hubris did not imagine that the red neon that they were sitting in drowned out the light of his aura. 

Kevin takes custody of Baby Anthony.  So that baby definitely isn’t Kevin’s then?  I know Cheryl said that the question as to paternity of this infant was “gauche” and therefore none of us is supposed to ask, but I am gauche and common and vulgar and I want to know whose sperm created that child, all right?

The real estate agent that Mary hired (and probably forced Archie to pay for) to close on the sale, wherein Mary forced Archie to hand over his meager life savings to her, cannot in good conscience bring herself to call the building A HOUSE. She calls it a structure.  And like the abused, not very bright man he is, Archie thanks his mom for ‘trusting’ him.  Oh god dude you are so dumb.

Hermosa calls Veronica to say  blood will have blood.  I’m not sure what Hermosa’s end game was, actually.  Can she only come to town when Hiram is in custody, and is that what she was hoping for?

Betty and Archie  are in Betty’s childhood and current bedroom.  She now wears the Betty pink and she says ‘we should face it together’- meaning their strange powers-  and the camera angles back and forth are very like the  Ep. 4.17 confession of the Barchie kiss to Jughead.  And there’s some sort of musical theme  that plays over them while they’re being nice to each other.  

The dog has superpowers (healing?)  - so literally…. literally… the DOG made out better than Jughead.  Did you need to be IN THIS HOUSE for this superpower manifestation?  Does the garage not get St Fred’s protection?  Oh but that used to be Archie’s music room - is that why he’s deaf? Is this some sort of cosmic joke?

TBK is in the back of Glen’s car and does something to him in the red light. How does TBK know what Glenn did? Does TBK work for the FBI?  Plus, Glenn must really suck as a law enforcement person if he doesn’t check the back of his car before getting in. His reaction time is also extremely slow.  Good bye Glenn??

Fangs: Hey what time is it?

Sweet Pea: I don’t know, pass me the trombone and I’ll find out.

Sweet Pea: [blasts the trombone]

Toni:Who the FUCK is playing the trombone at TWO IN THE FUCKING MORNING?

Sweet Pea: It’s two A.M.

Fangs:… Figured

SweetPea:Don’t say a word

Fangs:… fergalicious

SweetPea:I said no words!

Fangs:Oh, I see how it is. Two weeks ago, playing scrabble, it wasn’t a word, but now it is. how convenient for you!

Penny & the ghoulies: *breathes in the direction of Fangs*

Me:*crackling knuckles* i think the fuck not u trick ass bitch

Toni:I may only be five feet tall, but you see that thing in the top of the cabinet? I put it there.

Sweet Pea:Why??

Toni:SPITE.

Fangs:[hugs sweet pea from behind]

Fangs:[softly tucks his hair behind his ear]

Sweet Pea: [shivers]

Fangs:[whispers] Eat all the frosted animal crackers again and we’re done.

Sweet Pea: C’mon, I wasn’t that drunk

Fangs: You tried to colour my face with a highlighter because you said I was important

Sweet Pea: [tearing up] Because you are!

Sweet Pea: I’m over this dumbass school with all of these fake ass people

Jughead:Hey

Sweetpea:Hey

Sweetpea: Fuckin’ bitch

*Sweet Pea and Archie fighting behind the counter*

Fangs: “Can I get a waffle? Can I pLeAsE get a waffle??”

Fangs: Please tell me this is safe

Sweet Pea: This is safe

Fangs: Please tell me this is safe, without lying

Sweet Pea: …You’re really demanding, you know that

Sweet Pea: [To Jughead] I don’t hate you. I’m just not necessarily excited about your existence.

Jughead: Do you ever do anything except whine like a little bitch?

Sweet Pea: Sometimes I whine like a big bitch

Toni: Can you pass the sugar?

Sweet Pea: *throws Fangs across the table*

Fangs: Just be yourself. Say something nice.

Sweet Pea: Which one? I can’t do both.

Sweet Pea: Do we have all of the knifes?

Fangs:Check.

Sweet Pea:Transport?

Fangs:Check.

Sweet Pea: Did you have breakfast?

Fangs: What? That’s not on the checklist.

Sweet Pea: I added it because I care about you.

Fangs:No, I did not have breakfast.

Swear Pea: Unacceptable. Look in your pocket.

Fangs: [pulling out a granola bar] Hey, there’s little chocolate chips in this!

Sweet Pea: Yeah, I’m not an idiot. I know how to trick my best friend into eating his fiber.
