Steve says, HEY BROCCOLI, IT'S GREAT
TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO CHAT WITH YOU TODAY.
NOW, I HEAR YOU CONSIDER
YOURSELF THE BEST VEGETABLE.

Broccoli says, OBVIOUSLY.
I MEAN,
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS CROWN?
RIGHT?
NOT EVERY VEGETABLE HAS A CROWN,
BUT I DO, AND THAT CLEARLY
MEANS I'M THE BEST.
AND EVEN FLOWERS,
AND FLOWER CROWNS,
ARE LIKE,
REALLY IN RIGHT NOW.
PLUS, I'M A FANTASTIC SOURCE
OF PROTEIN.
YOU KNOW,
I'M PACKED FULL OF FIBRE,
AND NOT TO MENTION IRON,
POTASSIUM,
ZINC,
RIBOFLAVIN.
THEY DON'T CALL ME A SUPERFOOD
FOR NOTHING, STEVE…

Steve chuckles.

Broccoli says, ….YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I'M AMAZING.

Steve says, AH, YES, YES, YES,
INDEED.
SUPERFOOD,
SUPERFOOD, RIGHT.
NOW, TELL ME,
ASIDE FROM BEING A SUPERFOOD,
WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM
THE OTHER VEGETABLE CANDIDATES?

Broccoli says, MM-HMM, GREAT QUESTION.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE
WATCHED MY CAMPAIGN VIDEO,
BUT I'LL LET YOU IN
ON A LITTLE SECRET.
UNLIKE CORN, BROCCOLI DOESN'T
NEED TO BE PEELED
OR EVEN COOKED IN ORDER
TO BE DELICIOUS.
NO PREPARATION NEEDED,
BROCCOLI IS READY TO GO,
UP FOR ANYTHING
ALL THE TIME.
AND YOU CAN BE TOO,
IF YOU VOTE BROCCOLI.

Steve says, RIGHT, OF COURSE.
OKAY THEN,
SO TELL ME,
IF ELECTED THE MAYOR,
WHAT CAN THOSE WHO VOTED
FOR YOU EXPECT?

Broccoli says, WHAT CAN THEY EXPECT?
THEY'LL BE VOTING
FOR THE BEST VEGGIE,
WHAT MORE IS THERE?
BUT I'LL TELL YOU, BECAUSE
GUESS WHAT, THERE IS MORE.
WHEN I'M ELECTED MAYOR,
I VOW TO BE THE FRESHEST,
THE CRUNCHIEST,
SNAPPIEST VEGETABLE
ON THEIR PLATES
AND IN THEIR HEARTS.
I'LL WORK TIRELESSLY TO GIVE
THEM THAT EXTRA BIT OF STRENGTH
TO FINALLY MAKE IT ACROSS
THOSE MONKEY BARS.

Steve says, INCREDIBLE.
WELL, I'M SO GLAD
I ASKED THAT QUESTION.
NOW, I BELIEVE THAT'S ALL
THE TIME WE HAVE TODAY.
THANK YOU AGAIN
FOR STOPPING BY,
AND UM, AS I SAY TO ALL
THE CANDIDATES,
ALL THE BEST ON
THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

Steve says, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT STEVE,
I AM THE BEST.
BUT THANKS SO MUCH STEVE,
HAVE A GOOD DAY.

Broccoli and Steve smile.
