"No, I mean that little dope's got a money tree." "Gee, I wonder if anybody else knows about this." "Martin, I've decided my money tree needs protection." "Yeah?" "From what, aphids?"

"Of course, money does not grow on trees, unless you can convince someone to take leaves for currency." "But fruit grows on trees, as well as nuts, dates, and flowers." "You can start growing your own tree right inside your very own home." "Access Video Encyclopedia Section T, for tree." "AUTOMATED VOICE:" "Section T, Entry, Tree." "DOC:" "Let's review our inventory." "You'll need a piece of fruit with a large pit." "An avocado works quite well." "Also some toothpicks, and a glass jar filled almost to the top with good old H20." "Water." "First, you'll need to remove the pit from the fruit." "Remember, if you're too young to use a knife, be sure to get assistance from an adult." "Insert three or four toothpicks into the pit." "You can also use nails." "Now, rest the pit on the rim of the jar." "Remember, one of the first rules of horticulture is that in order for a seed to germinate, or grow, it must be wet." "This is the beginning of your tree." "After a few days, you'll see that the pit has sprouted root tendrils." "The question is, without any soil, how can this be?" "Plants need four things to grow, sunlight, carbon-dioxide, water, and soil minerals." "The avocado pit, like all seeds, contains not only an embryonic plant, but also stored food." "In addition, the pit draws upon the minerals in the water, and when combined with carbon dioxide, actually creates sugar." "After two weeks, there's no stopping your tree." "That is, unless it runs out of minerals, or in non-scientific terms, food." "Hence, it's time to do some transplanting." "Cut the bottom off a clear liter soda bottle." "This will serve as your pot." "Add some soil, place the pit in the center, and then carefully place more soil all around." "It's as easy as that." "In a few years, you'll have your very own avocado tree, and you'll be able to enjoy an endless supply of guacamole." "Ole!" "Ah, one more info-bit!" "If you happen to live here in the rain forest, don't forget about that accelerated growth rate." "Ah!" "(CRASHES)" "I should have known better than to toss that banana peel there." "See you in the future."
