Dialog
Maru: Havin' fresh food around the place is truly a blessin', but our kitchen's caught the attention of some hanuman langurs -- an' the boss wants it sorted now.
Maru: I reckon if we've been reelin' 'em in with the scent of our Hippo Rider Specials, we can use a different sort of smell to drive 'em out...
Maru: Namely, gulal! It ain't toxic, but certain jungle critters can't stand its, er, unique aroma.
Maru: Talk to Vata an' he'll tell you what sort of gulal makes a hanuman langur gag. Oh, an' take a cart while you're at it -- we want those langurs to know that our hippos mean business. Stenchy business.
Vata: How's it rollin'? Out to fling pigment at langurs, are we?
Vata: Through proper research and suchlike, I've learned that yellow gulal is most effective for drivin' away hanuman langurs. Or maybe I accidentally hit one when I was throwin' a blessin' for plenty one day, an' haven't stopped laughin' since. Who's to say?
Vata: Just don't forget -- you've got a live hippo yoked to your cart, eh? In the immortal words of my mum, "Those who don't hold on, fall off." Ta-ta!
Fleeing Hanuman Langur: Khe-kheeeeee!
Disgruntled Hanuman Langur: Khhheee! Khhheeeeee!!!
Shocked Hanuman Langur: Khe-khe-kheee!?
Maru: You're yellow up to your elbows! I'll bet the langurs can smell you from malms away.
Maru: Still, somethin' tells me we haven't seen the last of 'em, so I might borrow your throwin' arm again before long...
