• Ghost: "So beautiful."

Panel 2:

• Ghost: "Why we had fields and fields of apples and enough lead arsenate to keep all the pests away."

Panel 3:

• Character 1: "Didn't that get in the food?"
• Ghost: "Sure did! Did you know arsenic increases the growth rate of livestock?"

Panel 4:

Panel 5:

• Ghost: "Kids can only live off apples for so long before their digestion starts to break down and muscles won't grow."

Panel 6:

• Character 1: "Okay, how many ancestors do I have to go back to get to a charming farm experience?"
• Ghost: "Eventually you'll get to a feudal overlord, which sounds pretty nice."
