The sun is setting, and Ravioli has already strewn herself across a rock, dramatically fanning herself with a piece of paper containing the script for Episode 19. Scallop is playing Bloons Tower Defense 5 on his phone, Margaret is tanning in the fading light, and Vivian is sitting awkwardly off to the side.

Ravioli: Vivian, be a lamb and fetch me a water bottle.

Vivian: eyes widen. Uh, okay... do you want the flavored kind or the regular kind? picks her way over to the pile of supplies that Scallop is supposed to be organizing.

Ravioli: I'd like some diet water, please.

Vivian: impossibly, eyes widen even more. I beg your pardon?

Ravioli: to herself. Yes, beg away, slave. 

Vivian: What?

Ravioli: Uh, I meant... the diet water's the one with the blue cap.

Vivian begins to search for the requested drink, pawing through a large brown leather bag. She can't seem to discover where the blue-capped diet water is, but she does find several empty bottles. Hoping that Ravioli is too busy cooling herself down to notice, Vivian takes a bottle of regular water and carefully pours it into a diet water container. She screws the blue cap back on and delivers it to Ravioli.

 Vivian: H-here you go. hands the bottle over. Are you going to film tonight? There ought to be some animals coming out since it's getting so dark...

Ravioli: drinks some of the water and sighs heavily. Yeah, yeah... we'll get around to that. Now, Vivian, be a lamb and get me some... uh... why don't you just fan me?

Vivian: glances around nervously. You really s-should be filming, Ravioli. I know it's not my place to say... but you have been in this desert for, like, a week, and you haven't filmed all five episodes.

Scallop: narrows eyes at the cream tabby. How do you even know how many episodes we have per biome?

Vivian: I-I just listen! defensively. 

Scallop: shrugs. Okay, whatever. I just felt left out of this conversation. goes back to playing (now) the Blockheads on his phone.

Ravioli: Well, Vivian, if you so desperately think we should be filming... then why don't you do it?
