(Mr. Quiet snaps out of his meditation, gets up, and walks around his garden. He ends up walking on a rake and gets hit in the face with it. Mr. Quiet falls to the ground in a daze. The screen iris' out. The scene transitions to Mr. Grumpy's house. Mr. Grumpy is dialing a number on his phone)
Mr. Grumpy: Hmm.
(Once he dials the number, a split screen forms to show Mr. Happy as the one Mr. Grumpy called. Mr. Happy is shown sitting behind a desk with several potted plants on a shelf behind him)
Mr. Happy: Dillydale Gardening Service. What can we do for you today?
Mr. Grumpy: It's Mr. Grumpy. I need some work done around my garden, and I'm in no mood to do it myself.
Mr. Happy: Then you've called the right place! We'll send our best garden experts out to you right away!
(Knocking is heard followed by the sound of something breaking)
Mr. Grumpy: Hmm?
Miss Whoops (from outside): Whoops!
(The sound of something breaking is heard from outside)
Mr. Happy: That should be them.
Mr. Grumpy: Now don't think I'm paying extra for the fast service.
(Mr. Grumpy hangs up, the split screen goes away, and Mr. Grumpy opens the door. Mr. Grumpy sees Mr. Scatterbrain and Little Miss Whoops. The latter holding a broken garden gnome and wearing a bonnet)
Mr. Grumpy: Hello, Mr. Scatterbrain.
(Mr. Grumpy notices Little Miss Whoops holding his broken garden gnome)
Mr. Grumpy: Miss Whoops!! What happened to my garden gnome?
Miss Whoops: It was an accident. Here you go.
(Little Miss Whoops gives Mr. Grumpy the broken garden gnome. Mr. Scatterbrain puts his hand behind his back)
Mr. Scatterbrain: And here's...
(Mr. Scatterbrain takes out a sock puppet that's now on the hand that was behind his back)
Mr. Scatterbrain: A sock puppet!
(Mr. Scatterbrain moves the sock puppet close to Mr. Grumpy)
Mr. Grumpy: Hmm! Hmm.
Mr. Scatterbrain (offscreen): He's not as funny as the garden gnome, but he's quick with a riddle!
(The sock puppet grabs Mr. Grumpy's nose and honks it for a moment
Mr. Grumpy: (screams)
(The sock puppet releases Mr. Grumpy's nose)
Mr. Grumpy: I think you should go now.
Miss Whoops: But we were sent to do work in your garden.
(Mr. Scatterbrain nods in agreement)
Mr. Scatterbrain: Which is why we brought our...
(Mr. Scatterbrain takes out a garden hat and puts it on his head)
Mr. Scatterbrain: Garden hats.
(Mr. Scatterbrain takes out a spatula)
Mr. Scatterbrain: Our spatula,
(Mr. Scatterbrain takes out a popcorn maker)
Mr. Scatterbrain: And our popcorn popper!
Mr. Grumpy: Wait, you're the experts?
Miss Whoops: Absolutely, Mr. Grumpy. We're trained professionals.
Mr. Scatterbrain: We are (chuckles) at what?
Mr. Grumpy (offscreen): Now, I want these peach trees
(The screen lowers down to show Mr. Grumpy showing Mr. Scatterbrain and Little Miss Whoops around his garden and what he wants them to do)
Mr. Grumpy: Trimmed. Just a few inches off each branch. Understood? I don't want to lose a single peach.
Miss Whoops: Right-o!
(Mr. Grumpy directs Mr. Scatterbrain to three pre-plowed rows)
Mr. Grumpy: And over here I'd like you plant my vegetable garden.
(Mr. Grumpy points to the row on the left)
Mr. Grumpy: I want to row of corn,
(Mr. Grumpy points to the row in the middle)
Mr. Grumpy: A row of tomatoes.
(Mr. Grumpy points to the row on the right)
Mr. Grumpy: And a row of couchettes. Do you follow?
Mr. Scatterbrain: Sure! To where?
Mr. Grumpy: Nowhere.
Mr. Scatterbrain: Well then why am I following?
Mr. Grumpy: I mean do you understand!?
Mr. Scatterbrain: (chuckles) Understand what?
Mr. Grumpy: My vegetable garden!
Mr. Scatterbrain: Oh that! (chuckles) Absolutely! I've planted loads of vegetable gardens.
Mr. Grumpy: You have?
(Mr. Scatterbrain frowns)
Mr. Scatterbrain: Well, not really. But how hard can it be?
Miss Whoops: Don't worry about a thing, Mr. Grumpy. Go on. Enjoy yourself. We'll have this garden sort into no time at all.
Mr. Grumpy: Well, that's more like it.
(Mr. Grumpy leaves)
Mr. Grumpy: I'll be clipping my toenails if you need me.
(Mr. Scatterbrain starts using his hoe on the ground to his left and right. Little Miss Whoops take out a pole and starts it up. She struggles to get a feel for it at first but gets it started and gets the hang of it)
Miss Whoops: This is really pretty easy once you get the hang of it!!
(Little Miss Whoops loses control of the pole-saw)
Miss Whoops: (screams)
(Little Miss Whoops swings the pole-saw and it starts shaking. The pole-saw goes up. Little Miss Whoops struggles to control the pole-saw, Little Miss Whoops starts using the uncontrollable pole-saw on the peach trees and starts slicing oil the branches off the trees. Some branches land on Mr. Scatterbrain. Little Miss Whoops then starts using the out of control pole-saw on the whole trees and cuts them down accidentally. Little Miss Whoops tries to stop herself from destroying the trees but the pole-saw is too out for control. Four trees fall to the ground and leaves fall around Mr. Scatterbrain like snow)
Mr. Scatterbrain: (laughs)
(Little Miss Whoops finally manages to get control of the pole-saw and it turns off as Little Miss Whoops skids to a stop)
Miss Whoops: (breathes hard) Whoops.
(The camera zooms out to show the destroyed peach orchard)
Miss Whoops: I know he said "only a few inches", but it looks such a lot better than it did before.
(Mr. Scatterbrain gives the "okay" sign)
Mr. Scatterbrain: Abso-posita-lutely!
(The scene transitions to Mr. Scatterbrain holding two packets of seeds. One for corn and one for tomatoes)
Mr. Scatterbrain: Seeds? Now how does anyone expect to start a garden with seeds?
(The scene transitions to Mr. Scatterbrain shopping in the produce section of the supermarket)
Mr. Scatterbrain: Now let's see; a row of corn,
(Mr. Scatterbrain takes all of the corn from the crate into his shopping trolley)
Mr. Scatterbrain: A row of tomatoes,
(Mr. Scatterbrain takes all of the tomatoes from the crate into his shopping trolley)
Mr. Scatterbrain: And a row of...um...
(Mr. Scatterbrain thinks for a moment)
Mr. Scatterbrain: Oh yes! (chuckles)
(Mr. Scatterbrain approaches a store shelf of alarm clocks)
Mr. Scatterbrain: Alarm clocks!
(The scene transitions back to Mr. Grumpy's garden. Mr. Scatterbrain has placed the alarm clocks, tomatoes, and corn into their respective rows (from right to left). The camera zooms out to show Mr. Scatterbrain and Little Miss Whoops the messed up garden. Even the wire trellis are strung with tomatoes)
Mr. Scatterbrain: There! (chuckles) That was easy.
Miss Whoops: Finished, Mr. Scatterbrain?
Mr. Scatterbrain: Yes! And it's a nice feeling to know that we've helped Mr. Grumpy!
(Mr. Scatterbrain gestures to the right just as Mr. Grumpy returns. Mr. Grumpy looks around and jumps up in horror over his decimated and mixed-up garden)
Mr. Grumpy: (gasps) Heu!
(Mr. Grumpy looks around)
Mr. Grumpy: (gasps) Oh!
(The camera pans to the left as it shows the decimated peach orchard)
Mr. Grumpy (offscreen): Oh! Oh-ho!
(The camera cuts back to the distraught Mr. Grumpy)
Mr. Grumpy: You ruined my beautiful peach orchard!
Miss Whoops: I knew you'd be pleased.
(Mr. Grumpy sees the messed up vegetable garden)
Mr. Grumpy: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!
Mr. Scatterbrain: Planted you a delicious vegetable garden.
Mr. Grumpy: Oh...crooked cucumbers!!
(Mr. Grumpy throws his hat onto the ground)
Mr. Grumpy: (sobs)
(Mr. Scatterbrain and Little Miss Whoops don't realize that they upset Mr. Grumpy and shrug off about what just happened)
Mr. Scatterbrain: I knew he'd be happy, but I didn't expect tears of joy.
(A bunch of tomatoes appear and cover the screen. The tomatoes lower down and the first bumper plays. Mr. Small and Mr. Nosey are out in a garden. Mr. Nosey sees a small plant grow. Mr. Nosey wants it to grow more so he slightly tugs at it. Meanwhile, a plant Mr. Small was looking at jerks as Mr. Nosey pulls it. The two grab their plants at the same time and Mr. Nosey pulls his plant fully which causes him to pull Mr. Small and his plant with it. They both pop out of the ground and Mr. Small and Mr. Nosey are very happy to see each other)
Miss Scary: Are you tired of smelling the flowers?
(Little Miss Scary throws the daisy away and takes out a tomato plant)
Miss Scary: Had it up to here with vegetables?
(Little Miss Scary throws the tomato plant away)
Miss Scary: Then come on down to Miss Scary's...
(2 Little Miss Scary heads appear next to Little Miss Scary)
All 3 Miss Scarys: House of Cacti!
(The two heads disappear)
Miss Scary: When we sell...
(Little Miss Scary starts walking past a bunch of cacti)
Miss Scary: Nothing but cacti! Scary, prickly, spiny cacti!
(A giant Little Miss Scary head comes into the frame from the left side of the screen)
Miss Scary: Why have a rose garden?
(The Little Miss Scary head moves to the top right corner of the screen. Mr. Bump and a rose plant fade into the frame. Mr. Bump sniffs the rose plant)
Miss Scary: Where people come and enjoy themselves?
Mr. Bump: Mmm.
(The rose plant fades into a cactus plant)
Miss Scary: When you can have a place people fear!
(Mr. Bump leans his face into the cactus and gets his face covered and pricked by cactus spines)
Mr. Bump: Ow! Oh! Poopity poop!
(Little Miss Scary's face zooms in towards the center of the screen)
Miss Scary: Here at Miss Scary's House of Cacti,
(Little Miss Scary's face moves away and shows the thorn-covered Mr. Bump surrounded by a rotating circle of six different cacti)
Miss Scary (voiceover) We carry a wide selection of...
(Little Miss Scary's face appears and enlarges on Mr. Bump's right)
Miss Scary (with an echo): Thorny,
(Little Miss Scary's face shrinks away then reappears and enlarges on Mr. Bump's left)
Miss Scary (with an echo): Pointy,
((Little Miss Scary's face shrinks away then reappears and enlarges at the center of the screen)
Miss Scary (with an echo): Plants.
(The scene transitions to Little Miss Scary showing Mr. Bump a bright red cactus)
Miss Scary: Like this fire cactus.
(A bee buzzes by Mr. Bump)
Miss Scary: One poke by one of these needles and...
Mr. Bump: Mmm.
(Mr. Bump backs-up into the fire cactus and his behind gets pricked by cactus needles)
Miss Scary (overlap): WHAM!
Mr. Bump (overlap): Ow!
(Mr. Bump holds his behind in pain)
Mr. Bump (overlap): (whimpers in pain)
Miss Scary (overlap): You'll feel like your fanny's on fire.
(The camera pans to the left. A cactus that is around 3 Mr. Bumps tall is between Little Miss Scary (who's on the cactus' right) and Mr. Bump (who is on the cactus' left))
Mr. Bump: Oh! Well...it's big.
(Little Miss Scary takes out a pointer stick)
Miss Scary: And when you're here, don't miss our prized one hundred-year-old cactus. Which we call, "The Cactus of Doom!" Weighing nearly a ton!
(Little Miss Scary starts leaning The Cactus of Doom with her pointer)
Miss Scary: This is the largest known cactus of captivity.
(Little Miss Scary accidentally tips The Cactus of Doom over with her pointer stick. The Cactus of Doom starts falling down towards where Mr. Bump is standing and Mr. Bump realizes this)
Mr. Bump: Woah!
(The Cactus of Doom falls on top of Mr. Bump; crushing Mr. Bump and stabbing him with cactus spines)
Mr. Bump (from under the cactus): Oh! You never learn.
(The camera zooms out and The Cactus of Doom is now split into four pieces)
Miss Scary: Well, it was the largest known cactus of captivity.
(The screen fades and the giant Little Miss Scary head zooms back into the center of the screen)
Miss Scary: So, remember!
(The camera slowly zooms in on Little Miss Scary's face)
Miss Scary: There's no reason to settle for a garden full of flowers or vegetables, when you can have your very own...
(The camera slowly zooms in on Little Miss Scary's face)
Miss Scary: Terrifyingly, dangerous cactus!
(The screen lowers and shows seven different types of cacti pulsing like a heart. Little Miss Scary's head moves across the screen. First on the top to the left, then on the bottom to the right)
Miss Scary: So come on down today to "Miss Scary's House of Cacti"
(Mr. Pernickety rises up and looks at the screen in disgust. He then cleans the screen with cleaner and a rag and drops down smiling. This acts as a transition to the second bumper. Mr. Nosey is standing by a small plant. Mr. Small walks over to the small plant dragging a hose with him. Using the hose, Mr. Small waters the plant . After he waters it, he stands on it and the plant grows. This makes Mr. Small as tall as Mr. Nosey. The former then uses the hose to give the latter a drink of water. The next scene starts sliding in. Mr. Stubborn tries to stop it but fails to do so. Beware of What You Grow plays)
Mr. Nervous: 🎵Beware of what you grow
It's all in the seeds you sow
Though it looks like a lily
It just might scare you silly!
And when it comes to gardening
There's nothing so alarming
Make sure you plant with care
Don't throw those seeds just anywhere!
Beware! Beware of what you grow!
Beware! Beware! The Dillydale folks oughta know!
Beware! Beware of what you grow!
It can happen awful speedy
That your garden gets all weedy!
But it's not beyond repair
Just mow your lawn if you dare!
Beware! Beware of what you grow!
Beware! Beware! The Dillydale folks oughta know!
Beware! Beware of what you grow!
Beware! Beware! Beware of what you grow! 🎵
(The screen fades to black and the next bumper plays. A rain cloud floats above Mr. Nosey and rains all over him. Branches sprout out of Mr. Nosey as if he were a plant. This scares Mr. Small and he runs away in fear. Little Miss Daredevil pushes the bumper away to transition to the next scene. The next scene begins with Mr. Quiet walking home after a long, strenuous day. Mr. Quiet walks past Mr. Noisy's house. An ambulance drives past, blaring its sirens. Mr. Quiet is bothered by the noise. Mr. Quiet proceeds to continue on his way but finds Mr. Small and Mr. Nosey doing some road work; work that involves a jackhammer. The pounding of the jackhammer bothers Mr. Quiet but he continues his way home. Mr. Quiet finally arrives home. Mr. Quiet is happy to see his humble abode)
Crows: (cawing)
(Mr. Quiet winces in pain)
Mr. Quiet: Oh.
(Mr. Quiet goes inside. The screen fades to Mr. Quiet sitting on a wooden bench in the lotus position)
Mr. Quiet: (sighs)
(The camera zooms out to show that Mr. Quiet is in his Zen garden about to engage in a mediation)
Mr. Quiet: Om.
(Mr. Quiet starts feeling some peace and tranquility when two crows perch on the garden's fence)
Crows: (cawing)
(Mr. Quiet snaps out of his meditation)
Mr. Quiet: Oh.
(Mr. Quiet sees the two crows)
Crows: (cawing)
Mr. Quiet: Hey! Shoo! Get away!
(The two crows fly away. Mr. Quiet smiles and starts thinking that he can finally meditate in peace. Unexpectedly, Little Miss Chatterbox pops up from the other side of the fence)
Miss Chatterbox: Hi, Mr. Quiet!
(Mr. Quiet is mildly startled. The camera zooms out to show the whole Zen garden)
Miss Chatterbox: Ooh! This is your Zen garden, huh? I've never seen one before.
(The camera cuts closer to Little Miss Chatterbox)
Miss Chatterbox: Except in a book, which is quite different seeing one in the real garden. It's so peaceful. Do you find it peaceful?
(The camera zooms out to show Mr. Quiet sitting on the wooden bench as well as Little Miss Chatterbox)
Mr. Quiet: Uh, usually.
Miss Chatterbox: They say it's very healthy to spend...
(The camera cuts over to Mr. Quiet)
Miss Chatterbox (offscreen): A few minutes of every day just sitting still.
(Mr. Quiet gets back into the lotus position and a fantasy sequence showing Mr. Quiet's inner thoughts begins)
Miss Chatterbox (offscreen): Not even moving your mouth!
(The camera zooms out to show Mr. Quiet floating in a pink sky surrounded by white clouds)
Miss Chatterbox (offscreen): Can you imagine?
(Mr. Quiet continues floating in the sky and soon approaches a cloud in the shape of a harp)
Miss Chatterbox (echo): Imagine? Imagine?
(Mr. Quiet moves out of the lotus position but keeps on floating though the sky. Mr. Quiet passes some clouds in the shape of three hearts)
Birds (voiceover): (chirping)
(Mr. Quiet floats pass a cloud in the shape of a dove, another cloud in the shape of a circled plus, and one more cloud in the shape of a flower)
Miss Chatterbox (offscreen): I can't.
(Mr. Quiet snaps out of his fantasy and the camera cuts back to Mr. Quiet sitting on his wooden bench while Little Miss Chatterbox talks on the other side of the fence)
Miss Chatterbox: But I love how you can sit on that little bench, smell the jasmine, and relax with nothing but the sound if trickling water. (giggles)
(Mr. Quiet frowns and Little Miss Chatterbox sees bonsai trees in the garden)
Miss Chatterbox: Oh! You have bonsai trees! I love bonsai trees! They're so cute and little! (giggles)
(The camera zooms in on Little Miss Chatterbox)
Miss Chatterbox: It must be so nice to have a place where you can enjoy peace and quiet. You know maybe I'll go and make myself a Zen garden?
(Mr. Quiet is happy to hear that Little Miss Chatterbox is leaving)
Mr. Quiet (overlap): Phew!
Miss Chatterbox (overlap and offscreen): That way I'd have a place to practice my cymbals too!
(Mr. Quiet rolls his eyes and the camera zooms out)
Miss Chatterbox: Thanks to the good idea, Mr. Quiet.
(Little Miss Chatterbox leaves)
Mr. Quiet: Yeah.
(Mr. Quiet gets back into the lotus position and resumes his fantasy of floating in the pink sky surrounded by peaceful clouds. Mr. Quiet passes the harp-shaped cloud and the clouds shaped like three hearts)
Birds (voiceover): (chirping)
(Mr. Quiet floats pass a cloud in the shape of a dove, another cloud in the shape of a circled plus, and one more cloud in the shape of a flower. Mr. Quiet smiles a huge smile but is snapped out of his fantasy by the sound of a helicopter. Above Mr. Quiet, Little Miss Daredevil is shown flying her helicopter directly above the garden)
Miss Daredevil: Woo-hoo!
(Little Miss Daredevil starts landing her helicopter near the garden. Mr. Quiet looks at the viewers)
Mr. Quiet: Oh!
(Mr. Quiet becomes annoyed and gives up his attempts at meditation. Little Miss Daredevil flies her helicopter close to the Zen garden's ground)
Monkey (offscreen): (chattering)
(Mr. Scatterbrain shows up playing a drum; Mr. Scatterbrain is in a marching band with a monkey leading and three penguins following him)
Monkey (overlap): (chattering)
Penguins (overlap): (squawking)
(The mini-parade passes and Mr. Quiet covers his eyes in frustration. The screen iris' out and the fourth bumper plays. Mr. Nosey and Mr. Small are doing some garden work. Mr. Nosey waters the ground in front of him and a sapling plant grows out of the ground. Mr. Nosey looks at Mr. Small and gets an idea. Mr. Nosey takes Mr. Small's hat off his head and waters Mr. Small. Mr. Small temporarily grows bigger but shrinks after Mr. Nosey stops watering him. Mr. Nosey places Mr. Small's hat back on his head and Mr. Small smiles. The screen cuts to black. The ending scene begins with Little Miss Scary and Mr. Bump at the House of Cacti and Little Miss Scary showing Mr. Bump "The Cactus of Doom!"
Narrator: So you see, the Mr. Men and Little Misses are extremely proud...
(The camera pans to Mr. Quiet's Zen garden. Mr. Quiet is trying and failing to meditate due to Mr. Scatterbrain and a monkey conducting a parade through the garden, and Little Miss Daredevil flying her helicopter right over the garden)
Monkey: (chattering)
Narrator: Of their gardening skills. So why not give planting a garden a try?
(The camera pans past a peach orchard and stops over to Mr. Grumpy's messed up vegetable garden. Mr. Grumpy is crying inaudibly while Little Miss Whoops is just standing there. Tomatoes are on the wired part of the garden and there are rows of corn and alarm clocks)
Narrator: There's no end to the wonderful things you might grow.
(The camera zooms in on the row of alarm clocks as they begin to ring. The screen fades to black)
(The episode ends here)

Miss Whoops: Finished, Mr. Scatterbrain?
Mr. Scatterbrain: Yes! And it's a nice feeling to know that we've helped Mr. Grumpy!

Mr. Scatterbrain: Planted you a delicious vegetable garden.
Mr. Grumpy: Oh...crooked cucumbers!!
(Mr. Grumpy throws his hat onto the ground)
Mr. Grumpy: (sobs)
(Mr. Scatterbrain and Little Miss Whoops don't realize that they upset Mr. Grumpy and shrug off what just happened)
Mr. Scatterbrain: I knew he'd be happy, but I didn't expect tears of joy.
(A bunch of tomatoes pop up on the screen as a transaction. The tomatoes lower down from the screen and the first bumper plays. Mr. Small and Mr. Nosey are out in a garden. Mr. Nosey seeing a small plant grow. He wants it to grow more so he slightly tugs at it. Meanwhile, a plant Mr. Small was looking at jerks as Mr. Nosey pulls it.

Miss Scary: Where people come and enjoy themselves?
(The rose plant fades into a cactus plant)
Miss Scary: When you can have a place people fear!
(Mr. Bump leans his face into the cactus and gets his face covered and pricked by cactus spines)
Mr. Bump: Woah! Oh! Poopity poop!
(Little Miss Scary's face zooms in towards the center of the screen)
Miss Scary: Here at Miss Scary's House of Cacti,
(Little Miss Scary's face moves away and shows the thorn-covered Mr. Bump surrounded by a rotating circle of six different cacti)
Miss Scary (voiceover) We carry a wide selection of...
(Little Miss Scary's face appears and enlarges on Mr. Bump's right)
Miss Scary (with an echo): Thorny,
(Little Miss Scary's face shrinks away then reappears and enlarges on Mr. Bump's left)
Miss Scary (with an echo): Pointy,
((Little Miss Scary's face shrinks away then reappears and enlarges at the center of the screen)
Miss Scary (with an echo): Plants.

Miss Scary (overlap): You'll feel like your fanny's on fire.
(The camera pans to the left. A cactus that is around 3 Mr. Bumps tall is between Little Miss Scary (who's on the cactus' right) and Mr. Bump (who is on the cactus' left))
Mr. Bump: Oh! Well...it's big.
(Little Miss Scary takes out a pointer stick)
Miss Scary: And when you're here, don't miss our prized hundred-year-old cactus. Which we call, "The Cactus of Doom!" Weighing nearly a ton!
(Little Miss Scary starts leaning The Cactus of Doom with her pointer)

(The Cactus of Doom falls on top of Mr. Bump; crushing Mr. Bump and stabbing him with cactus spines)
Mr. Bump (from under the cactus): P'ah! You never learn.
(The camera zooms out and The Cactus of Doom is now split into four pieces)
Miss Scary: Well, it was the largest known cactus in captivity.
(The screen fades and the giant Little Miss Scary head zooms back into the center of the screen)
Miss Scary (with an echo): Remember!
Miss Scary: There's no reason to settle for a garden full of flowers or vegetables, when you can have your very own...
(The camera slowly zooms in on Little Miss Scary's face)
Miss Scary: Terrifyingly, dangerous cactus!
(The screen lowers and shows seven different types of cacti pulsing like a heart. Little Miss Scary's head moves across the screen. First on the top to the left, then on the bottom to the right)
Miss Scary: So come on down today to "Miss Scary's House of Cacti"
(Mr. Persnickety rises up and looks at the screen in disgust. He then cleans the screen with cleaner and a rag and drops down smiling. This acts as a transition to the second bumper. Mr. Nosey is standing by a small plant. Mr. Small walks over to the small plant dragging a hose with him. Using the hose, Mr. Small waters the plant . After he waters it, he stands on it and the plant grows. This makes Mr. Small as tall as Mr. Nosey. The former then uses the hose to give the latter a drink of water. The next scene starts sliding in. Mr. Stubborn tries to stop it but fails to do so. Beware of What You Grow plays)
Mr. Grumpy: 🎵Beware of what you grow
It's all in the seeds you sow
Though it looks like a lily
It just might scare you silly!
And when it comes to gardening
There's nothing so alarming
Make sure you plant with care
Don't throw those seeds just anywhere!
Beware! Beware of what you grow!
Beware! Beware! The Dillydale folks oughta know!
Beware! Beware of what you grow!
It can happen awful speedy
That your garden gets all weedy!
But it's not beyond repair
Just mow your lawn if you dare!
Beware! Beware of what you grow!
Beware! Beware! The Dillydale folks oughta know!
Beware! Beware of what you grow!
Beware! Beware! Beware of what you grow! 🎵
(The screen fades to black and the next bumper plays. A rain cloud floats above Mr. Nosey and rains all over him. Branches sprout out of Mr. Nosey as if he were a plant. This scares Mr. Small and he runs away in fear. Little Miss Daredevil pushes the bumper away to transition to the next scene. The next scene begins with Mr. Quiet walking home after a long, strenuous day. Mr. Quiet walks past Mr. Noisy's house. An ambulance drives past, blaring its sirens. Mr. Quiet is bothered by the noise. Mr. Quiet proceeds to continue on his way but finds Mr. Small and Mr. Nosey doing some road work; work that involves a jackhammer.

(Mr. Quiet is mildly startled. The camera zooms out to show the whole Zen garden)
Miss Chatterbox: Ooh! This is your Zen garden, huh? I've never seen one before.
(The camera cuts closer to Little Miss Chatterbox)
Miss Chatterbox: Except in a book, which is different than seeing one for real. For sure, huh. It's so peaceful. Do you find it peaceful?
(The camera zooms out to show Mr. Quiet sitting on the wooden bench as well as Little Miss Chatterbox)
Mr. Quiet: Uh, usually.
Miss Chatterbox: They say it's very healthy to spend...
(The camera cuts over to Mr. Quiet)
Miss Chatterbox (offscreen): A few minutes of every day just sitting still.
(Mr. Quiet gets back into the lotus position and a fantasy sequence showing Mr. Quiet's inner thoughts begins)

(Mr. Quiet frowns and Little Miss Chatterbox sees bonsai trees in the garden)
Miss Chatterbox: Oh! And you have bonsai trees! I love bonsai trees! They're so cute and little! (gasps)
(The camera zooms in on Little Miss Chatterbox)
Miss Chatterbox: It must be so nice to have a place where you can enjoy peace and quiet. You know, maybe I'll go and make myself a Zen garden?
(Mr. Quiet is happy to hear that Little Miss Chatterbox is leaving)
Mr. Quiet (overlap): Phew!
Miss Chatterbox (overlap and offscreen): That way I'd have a place to practice my cymbals too!
(Mr. Quiet rolls his eyes and the camera zooms out)
Miss Chatterbox: (scoffs) Thanks to the good idea, Mr. Quiet.
(Little Miss Chatterbox leaves)
Mr. Quiet: Yeah.
