While Erica had left Geoff high and dry, the fight over Riptide Waters raged on.
Mr. Glascott: Why, hello, young lady. Is your mother home?
Essie Karp: Well, aren't you a big ball of charm.
Mr. Glascott: I am playful, but to be clear, I am here with a petition for you to sign.
Barry: Stop. Don't sign that man's dumb thing. Sign my dumb thing.
Mr. Glascott: [sighs] Barry Troublemaking Goldberg, what are you doing?
Barry: Just keeping Riptide Waters open for future generations to enjoy. Every child deserves water fun in a barely supervised atmosphere.
Mr. Glascott: Incorrect. All 50 acres are an aquatic torture chamber.
Essie Karp: Ooh! You know how Gravity Falls dumps out into an actual river? I once hit a trout who swallowed my wedding ring.
Mr. Glascott: Exactly. It's a hazard for child and odd lady alike.
Essie Karp: Yeah, I'm gonna sign neither and shut the door.
