- Jacob Scribble: Listen to this: Many plants only live for one season. They grow, blossom, bear fruit, and die.
- Maurizio di Mauro: And?
- Jacob Scribble: The answer is in Auntie Noah's riddle! They sprout and enjoy a moment of spring glory, but dry up and croak in the fall! We just have to make them grow and croak faster!
- Maurizio di Mauro: By watering and feeding them!
- Jacob Scribble: Bingo!
- Maurizio di Mauro: But what do we feed them? I'm way too junky and full of fur! And I ran outta bananas.
- Jacob Scribble: Not you, Moe. Super plant food!

- Colonel Custard: Private Krakel bypasses the defenses before reaching his goal. Private di Mauro will launch a diversionary maneuver.
- Maurizio the Cat: You mean while the meat-eating plants are eating me for lunch, Jacob sneaks into the library?
- Colonel Custard: Absolutely correct! It's the stuff of heroes!
- Jacob the Raven: [giving a weak thumbs up] Good suggestion, Colonel.
- Maurizio the Cat: You think so, maybe, but I have another plan.
- Jacob the Raven: Oh-oh.
- Jacob Scribble: The library! We can find the answer in a book!
- Maurizio di Mauro: Sure, but how do we get there? Check it out!
- [the monster plants are now obscuring the sky]
- Jacob Scribble: I can fly, Maurizio.
- Maurizio di Mauro: Like the rocket? That plant probably loves raven sushi, too.
