## Quotes

* **Sam:** (narrating) And Minnesota, he forgot to buy sunscreen and got an awful sunburn.
* (The scene cuts from Florida in Minnesota's climate to Minnesota in Florida's climate. In this scene Minnesota looks sad and hurt --from the pain-- because he did not buy sunscreen and got sunburned by the sun. And now, he is unprepared for Florida's climate. Vermont jumps behind Minnesota --who is ferociously sunburned.)
* **Vermont:** (before hugging Minnesota) A big hug will make your sunburn feel better.
* (Vermont --to cure and ease Minnesota's sunburns-- hugs Minnesota. While Vermont says his line, Minnesota --startled because Vermont is hugging him to cure and ease his sunburn-- stands shocked into silence. After Vermont says his line, he lets out a shriek of pain. That is, not only from the sunburn, but also from Vermont's "hug".)
* **Minnesota:** (shrieks) **YEEOOWWCH!**

## Relationships

### North Dakota and South Dakota

The Dakotas border Minnesota to the west. In the second book, Minnesota and the Dakotas trick the audience when the former attempts to saw South Dakota in half.

### Vermont

In the first book, Florida was freezing when he switched places with Minnesota. And Minnesota, he got a sunburn. Vermont (who tries to hug him to cure his sunburn), hugs him after telling him that a big hug will make his sunburn get all better. However, he --Minnesota-- lets out a shriek of pain (and says a big, long, "YEOW" in response). The page --which is the character-- in the book (Uncle Sam --character in video adaptation) reads, "And Minnesota, he forgot to buy sunscreen and got an awful sunburn".

In the video adaptation, Minnesota is shown sad/hurt when he is seen sunburned because he forgot to buy sunscreen. (That is, as Uncle Sam reads, "And Minnesota, he forgot to buy sunscreen and got an awful sunburn".) Then Vermont (like in the book itself) says to him, "A big hug will make your sunburn feel all better". He hugs Minnesota. Minnesota startles in pain when he feels it from Vermont (while Vermont says his line about curing and easing Minnesota's sunburn). And Minnesota --like in the book-- he --when Vermont hugs him (to ease his pain from the sunburn)-- shrieks in pain (saying a big, long, "YEOW!").

This part was the same in both versions without any functionality changes. (That is, including Minnesota getting a sunburn, Vermont trying to ease Minnesota's sunburns, and Minnesota shrieking in pain from Vermont's hug.) When he shrieks in pain, he says, "**YEEOOWW!**".

### Wisconsin

Wisconsin borders Minnesota to the east. In the first book, Minnesota tells Wisconsin about his sunburn. In the second book, he promises her that he will never saw her in half, which made her mad.
