There’s a special bonus prize for anyone who brings me melon today. It has to be ripe and fresh, and preferably should be cantaloupe, but watermelon would also be acceptable if it’s really good.

Uhh hello? February? The only melon you'd get would be flown in from somewhere and remind you why you wait for fruit to be in season to eat it ..

I know, that's why I want it so badly. If it were easier to get, I'd have done so and been satisfied already.
