graysheepCOLOR: Happy New Year!
ALL: Happy New Year!
COLOR: Now, how about we all set some New Year's resolutions? We'll start with Joe.
JOE: Hyahya...!! I- I'm first?
COLOR: Come on, give it a whirl.
JOE: P-, PPPP- Peace of mind.
SPIDER: I'll go with "Fast like the wind, quiet like a forest, daring as fire, immovable as mountains", then.
COLOR: What do you mean "I'll go with"? Are you just going to say whatever~?
SNOW: (Are we... minimizing them to four-character idioms only...?)
OWL: Writhing in agony......
SNOW: (! So we are.)
COLOR: Never give up. How about picking yourself up*?
NURSE: Let me think, for me it's... Not yielding to hardships.
COLOR: Nice one, sounds reliable. Snow, you're up last!
SNOW: Commitment to learning. Because everything, in my opinion, is an experience.
NURSE: But don't burden yourself too much, alright?
SPIDER: And? What about you, Color?
COLOR: My life is already comparable to the marvels of nature, I suppose?
OWL: Huh...?
SPIDER: Didn't quite catch that. Yo wild monsters?
NURSE: ... Kh, haha, pft.
SNOW: Could this be some kind of improv comedy competition?
COLOR: What? No! I really did mean it!
SPIDER: That's even worse, man.

TN. What Color says here is a play on words. Owl's four-character idiom, 七転八倒 (Shichiten Battou), is similar to 七転八起 (Shichiten Hakki), except for the last character. 七転八起 means "never give up," and 起 means "get up," thus why he says "How about picking yourself up" next.
