Rolly: Man, I can't believe we're doing this at the beach!
Cadpig: I think this looks fun!
Lucky: How are you guys doing down there?
Cadpig: Doing good, Lucky! With my arms much longer, there's nothing holding me down from holding you up!
Belchic *off screen*: Okay, guys, hold it just like that. I'll go get a camera.

Patch: Are Mum and Dad still trying to sneak into places with that trench coat disguise? Don't they know that it's getting old and that humans are not getting fooled by it anymore? Why are they still doing it?
*later*
Perdita: Patch, I'm sorry you have to catch me and your father still walking around in a trench coat, even though that trick has gotten really old. It's just that we've just gotten into it when we first heard about it from Belchic, and it was just a lot of fun doing it.
Patch: But you and Dad got
very carried away. Whatever happened to just acting like
real dogs? Being a dog or a pup should not be any more complicated than just running around and chasing things, burying bones, chewing on stuff, playing fetch--activities like those. But lately, most of the stuff that most dogs in the farm have been very human-like. I don't want us to do that anymore.
Perdita: Of course, Patch, I'm sorry I didn't realize that in the first place. But at least it was fun trying those things out.
Patch: Well, no more dogs and pups should try those stuff from now on. We are not meant to do those stuff anyway.
Perdita: Now, Patch, don't be so harsh. Everyone has different interests, and those interests are just part of who they are. You guys don't have to do what others like to do if you don't want to, but if someone likes something, let them like it. No one can control anyone except themselves.
Belchic: No one can control anyone, eh? Well, with my embarrassment gun, I can--
Perdita *off screen*: Belchic, don't even think about using that thing on anyone just to get them to do what you want them to do! Many other pups you used it on have been giving many complaints about it. I mean, I didn't mind it when you used it on your father and me one night to make me realize how badly I acted with Lucky, but from now on, I don't want you using it for anything except for
good things.
Belchic: Well, I
did promise everyone that I will accept them for who they are from now on. But what I was
really gonna say is with my embarrassment gun, I can use it on enemies to keep away from us. Is using it on enemies a good thing?
Perdita: Well, yes. Of course, it is. Just don't use it on your own family or friends. If they give you any problems, then talk to either me or your father about it, and we'll try to work it out.
Belchic: Okay, Mother. I promise.

Priscilla: Hi, everybody!
Belchic: Priscilla's here! How are you?
Priscilla: I'm just glad to be away from Beau and my mother. I never get to spend two whole days with you guys right here on this farm. By the way, Belchic, you don't think I'm a horrible pup for saying that Patch and I will not do piggyback rides and trench coat disguises anymore, do you?
Belchic: No, Priscilla, I
never thought you were horrible when you said that. Why do you ask?
Priscilla: Well, I've talked about it with Patch before, and when I told him, he agreed with what I said and told me that we shouldn't be doing stuff like that anyway.
Belchic: There's something I wanted to ask. How come you and Patch don't like doing piggyback rides and trench coat disguises anymore?
Priscilla: Well, it's because we're pups, and pups don't do that stuff. Girls don't even carry boys on their shoulders, either. I'm still a nice, sweet, and friendly pup who likes to get along with everyone. I don't need to carry Patch or any boy on my shoulders just to be a sweetheart. I mean, what kind of girl do you think I am? And how hard is it to just act like a
real dog and accept other pups for who they are?
Belchic: I've been accepting everyone else for who they are for some time as of now. But it's not fair, because not much of them have been accepting
me for who
I am.
Priscilla: That's not true, Belchic. I
know they have accepted you for who you are.
Belchic: Well, if what you're saying is true, then why are they always bashing my quirks?
Priscilla: Because you have been forcing it in everyone's faces, and you have been using your embarrassment gun to make them do what you wanted them to do. Everyone else have their own, what you guys call, "quirks", and they were able to actually control them. But you have never controlled yours, have you?
Belchic: I have been keeping my quirks under control when I started to really accept others for who they are, and I promised to keep it under control. And I'm hoping that they will accept my quirks now that I'm keeping control of them, because my quirks are just part of who I am.
Priscilla: I'll accept you for who you are. I understand that piggyback rides and trench coat disguises are things that you and Tippy like to do together. It's not like I'm trying to ruin your fun and keep you from doing those things anymore. So, if you two like doing those things, that's fine. But you can't force others to do those things, too. Let them come to you. It's for
them to decide whether they want to do them or not, not you.
Belchic: I hear you, Priscilla. I don't want to lose any of my friends. I don't expect anyone to like my quirks, but I do expect them to respect my quirks, as they do with each other's quirks. Getting others to play along didn't work, so I'm not gonna try doing that again, but the least they can do is just respect what I like.
Priscilla: I'll respect your quirks, just like I respect everyone else's. Just make sure you keep your word and never force your quirks in front of everyone's faces ever again.
Belchic: Thank you for respecting my quirks, Priscilla. That means a lot to me. I hate to hear all my friends bashing me about my quirks again. And don't worry. I won't make you and Patch do my quirks anymore. I'll let you two be the dogs you want to be and accept you for who you are. At least you gave gave my quirks a try, though.
Priscilla: I sure did, and I just know that it's just not the right stuff for Patch and me.
Belchic: That's why I'm letting you two do what you want to do, and not forcing you to do my quirks again. So, what do you say? Friends?
Priscilla: Friends.

Cadpig: I want an Easter egg! I want an Easter egg! I want an Easter egg!
Lucky *off screen*: Hey! Stop that!
How you holding up?
