Kinako, whatever happened to that box of Japanese cakes that your mother gave us?
(Whatever happened to = 一体どうなったのですか？ used to ask where a person or thing is now / e.g. Whatever happened to Steve? I haven’t seen him for years.)
(What happened = どうしたの？何かあった？)
I ate them.
You ate the whole box of "wagashi"?
Yes. You know me, Frank. I can't eat just one.
You could have saved some for me.
I couldn't help it. They were so good. I loved the ones with strawberries inside.
Oh, don't rub it in. That's my favorite.
(rub it in = 事実・不愉快なことなどをわざと繰り返して言う、ネチネチ言う they keep talking about something that makes you feel embarrassed or upset. I know I made a mistake, but you don't have to rub it in.)
Sorry. Oh, look! I found one.
Ah, great.
Ha ha. Just kidding.

So she is an anko-holic or something.
Ohhh...
What it is? Yes?
Yes.
She can't eat just one.
Oh my!
It sounds like me. I can't eat just one of anything sweet.
Oh, you have uh... what do you call that?
A sweet tooth.
Sweet tooth. Oh, my goodness.
(sweet tooth = you like eating sweet foods, especially sweets and chocolate)
Yes. I still have more than one, I think.
Uh-huh.
I have a sweet tooth, too.
You do too.
Oh, yes.
Oh, my goodness.
How about you, Ken?
Well, I have a sweet tooth too but it's kind of short, you know.
Oh.
Just a small one.
And I have a sweet personality.
Yes.
Just kidding.

Do you mind if I step outside, Brownie? I want to raid a beehive.
(raid = 襲う a short sudden attack)
Yum! I'll keep you company, Grizzly.
I crave honey every day. I've been trying to kick this habit for years.
(crave = feel a powerful desire for something)
What's wrong with eating honey?
Nothing except that the bee keeper's dog guards the beehives.
Aaah! Run, Brownie!
That was scary.
Let's try again later.
No, thank you very much. I'll be busy.
Oh, I can't bear that.
I'll be busy. I can't bear it.

Good morning, Aaron.

Too bad. Should we order the usual?
I gave up coffee yesterday.
Oh! You're suffering from caffeine withdrawal.
(withdrawal = 依存性薬物の離脱症状 a period during which someone feels sick because they have stopped taking a drug or other substance that they are addicted to)
Mary, I guess you're right.

Okay.
For you two.
Yes.
Do you like coffee?
Oh, I do. I'm a morning coffee drinker and an afternoon coffee drinker.
Wow.
I think I'm the only one on this show that doesn't like coffee.
That means you don't like (coffee.)
I don't. I don't drink it. No.
You don't drink it.
I don't.
Oh. Wow.
I'm already happy and ...
Coffee relaxes me.
