KINA: And then what do we have to do without Tweak or Mommy or Captain Barnacles or Dashi? I don’t know what we do without them.

DADDY: When you’re dressed as She-Ra, how do you feel?

KINA: Happy. Halloween happy. if it doesn’t go wrong then I will not do it but if I do do it, I will do it on the dance party.

DADDY: You will do it on the dance party.

KINA: Of course I will, because it doesn’t have to be anyone of course, because it has to be not a long line if it hasta go faster. It doesn’t trust me if it doesn’t have a word.

DADDY: Let me ask you a question.

KINA: Lemme ask YOU a question. My question is: I’m gonna be She-Ra with the Halloween sword with me and you and Mommy, Captain Barnacles and Dashi and Tweak and Shellington and Tunip, and I couldn’t have done this without you—thanks, Captain Barnacles.

DADDY: Are we gonna go to the park?

KINA: Yes.

DADDY: What are we gonna do?

KINA: We’re gonna get treats, but first we need a show for just a Halloween party that is just showing up for people that are like you, and then if you wanna lollipop you can have some wine. I can give you whatever flavor wine, dear Captain Barnacles to Kina.

DADDY: Lemme get this straight, if I get you a lollipop, you will get me…

KINA: Some wine that is any flavor you want. You can have any flavor wine you want and any kind of phone and any color phone and any flavor wine and jook.

DADDY: Do you think that Halloween is scary?

KINA: Halloween is not scary, because there’s funny scary monsters and She-Ra from She-Ra.

DADDY: And are you gonna see any friends today?

KINA: Futura.

DADDY: Where are you gonna see Futura?

KINA: McGolrick Park.

DADDY: What will she be dressed as?

KINA: I don’t know. Maybe Elsa! [Ed: This was, as it turned out, an accurate prediction.]

DADDY: What do we have to do now?

KINA: Whatever we’re gonna do now.

DADDY: Like what?

KINA: I don’t know what it will be. Let’s just find out and let’s see with Google. That’s a good plan. Remember that’s a good plan.

DADDY: I love you.

KINA: I love you.
