Bingo: Can I have a piggyback?
Bandit: No, you can walk yourself. We're only going up to the river and back.
Bingo: Aw, that's too far.
Bandit: It's not too far.

Bingo stops walking and opens her eyes wide. Her face then becomes gloomy.
Bingo: Aww, yes.
Bandit: Aw, bummer. I wanted to give some of those pine cones to your mum.
Bingo: Ooh, I'll get 'em!
Bingo runs ahead of Bandit and Chilli, leaving them behind. When she gets to the pine cones, Bluey can be seen hitting a tree with a stick.
