Olaf: This is a raid You shall all perish by the hand of Olaf the – oh, wait, what’s that – That’s new
Smitty: Whaa? Huh?

Olaf: Oh, nothing! Just passing through! Looks like you guys made some, um, improvements since I was here scouting the area for conquest- I mean – um – dropping off that muffin basket.
Smitty: What, this? This is nothing! It’s our new taffy machine!

Olaf: T-taffy machine?
Smitty: Go on, take a close look! Unless you don’t want some delicious taffy!
Olaf: I do like a good taffy

Smitty: Delicious taffy.
General: SMITTY ARE YOU RUNNING THE TAFFY MACHINE AGAIN AND NOT SHARING
