And from out of the woodwork appears an old grizzled Fruit Fly Bounty Hunter.
On another note, Darwinism? [link] 22 y.o. rapper kills himself accidentally with pen gun.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Maybe the fruit stand owner is a retired organ grinder and the monkey is a retired organ grinder's monkey. Eventually they determine that the frequency of organ grinder music repels the giant fruit flies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't forget the grumpy but good hearted black guy in a position of authority over our protagonists who gives them a good cigar-chomping chewing out, replete with threats of suspending their vendor licenses.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can he be bald and somewhat overweight?

Not totally bald--he needs a bit of grizzled hair on his head. Definitely chunky, but in a solid formerly muscular way, I think. Air of authority, and all that.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
RE: mutant fruit flies, I apparently don't watch enough bad movies.
Maybe make up a thermos of hot chocolate the night before or some other sort of fun stuff to eat in the car?
Well, it's only an hour drive, so it shouldn't be too bad. The length of the drive only bugs in the sense of it being an hour less sleep.
When we were kids, I used to drive my siblings nuts because they were up at the crack of dawn, ready to open presents and I would sleep in until I was dragged out of bed. (Which was generally around 7am when my parents couldn't deal with them fidgetting anymore.)
Still, I can't imagine doing the family Christmas two days before. It's just not right and worth getting out of bed early for. (Though I wonder if I'll think so as I sit in the cold car Christmas morning.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm confused. When do the Swiss peeps come into all this?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
In a world where street fruit vendors struggle to survive, and only the craftiest glass-pane-carrying guys escape destruction (of their glass), one man rose up to end the chaos....

Not until the final few seconds of the movie. Everyone (who lives) is happy that they've killed the last of the mutant fruit flies - then we cut to a shot of giant fruit flies eating a giant Peep.
