"Ya lost 'em again!"
"S-sorry..."
"This is the sixteenth year you did this, Caramel! Look, how 'bout you do something different this Winter Wrap, okay?"
"But... I don't know, grass seedin' is kinda better than... well, anything else."
"What'd ya mean, Caramel? Had ya tried other jobs before?"
"Yep, every year!"
"Had ya tried makin' new birds nests?"
"Only an outhouse."
"How 'bout ice skatin'?"
"I... accidentally killed a pony with the ice skates..."
"..."
"That's why I wasn't there four years ago."
"That explains it. How 'bout the critters...? ya didn't kill them too, did ya?"
"Oh, hay no!"
"Thank Celestia..."
"But the bunnies almost did..."
"The bunnies, Caramel?!"
"You should of saw 'em! They're a lot more fierce and dangerous than those fluffy little critters seem!"
"They're herbivores, their teeth can't munch on anythin' thicker than a carrot!"
"But they tried to eat me!"
"Celestia's mercy, Caramel... had ya tried... um... plowin'?"
"Crushed a pony."
"Of course ya did."
"S-sorry..."
