Jake, Jake! Check it out! This true story is going to totally cure you.
Oh my gosh! What is it?
First, the leaf fell off a tree. Oh, but — wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...
Spit it out!
The snail was on the leaf! [long beat] ..The end. [Jake then starts to recoil]
Oh, no... Now I feel a thousand times worse! Finn, a story's got to have excitement, romance, [pulls his cheeks] suspe-e-e-e-ense... and it has to have a happy ending. [sniffles]
But... I don't know how to make that stuff happen.
That's okay, buddy. Just... dig me a hole, then. Actually, two holes — one for my guts and one for my face, 'cause when I die, my guts are gonna blow out of my face!!
I am not gonna let that happen, dude!
Then go get me that story. [hands him a piece of paper] And make sure it has all the stuff on this list.
I'll be back as fast as I can! [runs off] I won't let your guts blow out of your face!
