Wardrobe Malfunction

Daddy Steve: There appear to be some sneaky shenanigans afoot in Gregoropolis...

Holly Belle: Now, does he understand what he's supposed to do?
Meghan: Oh yes, he's quite clear on that.  He brought up the issue of compensation again.
Holly Belle: He needn't worry.  If everything goes according to plan, he'll get what's due him.

Rhoda: Hey, what's going on here?
Meghan: Never mind, Rhoda.
Holly Belle: Yes Rhoda, you just run along.

 Meanwhile, in the boys' room...

Frank: Hey, John Martin.  Whatcha doin'?
John Martin: Changing clothes.  Somebody got jam all over one of the kitchen chairs 
and I sat in it.
Frank: >Tsk, tsk<  There are some careless folks around here.  You're gonna wear that?
John Martin: Yeah, why?

Frank: Well, it's not really up to par for a smart looking chap like yourself.  Why don't you wear this?  For looks, you can't beat a man in nautical wear.  That's what I always say.
John Martin: I've never heard you say that.  In fact, I've never heard you talk about fashion at all.
Frank: Well, then dig the potatoes outta yer ears.  No,no, you put this on.  Trust me, it's your look.
John Martin: Oh, all right.

John Martin: At last, some peace and quiet.
Holly Belle: ♫♫ Ooooh John Marrrr-tinnnn ♫♫
John Martin: >Sigh<

Holly Belle: Oh, there you are.  I... >gasp< what an astonishing coincidence!  
Our outfits match!  Can you believe it?!?
John Martin: Yipe!

Holly Belle: Of course, this just proves what I've always said: what a handsome and well-matched couple we make!  Let's go out to the garden and have someone take our picture.
John Martin: Well, I...ah..ah... >sigh<

Meghan: Here you go, as promised.
Frank: Thanks.  Pleasure doing business with you.

Rhoda: Wow, Frank.  You sold your brother out for a cake?  That's pretty harsh.
Frank: >chomp, snarf, chomp<  Want a piece?
Rhoda: ...  >shrug< ...sure.

Frank ! I'm impressed with your willingness to do anything for a food payoff!
Poor John Martin out in the garden with Holly Belle! Who knows what he'll have agreed to by the time they return....

Lol!
I'm not certain if a matching shirt alone will do the trick. John Martin's face tells different.... There's still some work to do, Holly Belle!
