Erky Perky (2006) s01e03 Episode Script

Crazy!
♫ Life was good on Hot Dog Stand ♫
♫ For two bugs with food demands ♫
♫ Had our last meal one sunny day ♫
♫ They got caught
up and swept away ♫
♫ In to Kitchen's
where they landed ♫
♫ We're so hungry
and we're stranded ♫
♫ Finding food
is quite a mission ♫
♫ Other bugs are competition ♫
♫ Now just one question ♫
♫ How do we find
our way back home ♫
- What's that?
I don't think I
have one of those.
Oh Cecil, it's beautiful
and its all mine
What is it?
- Well, it is one
of those, um, er
- What are they doing?
- They're trying to keep us
away from that thing, of course.
- I've seen something
like it before.
You remember that day
back on Hot Dog Stand
when that thing flew over?
Just like Mad Margaret does.
- Don't be ridiculous!
It's obvious what it is.
- It is?
- That, my friend, is the
perfect container for a hot dog.
- Wow, a hot dog container.
Are you sure?
- I can sniff out anything
to do with Hot Dogs
from 1,000 paces.
- A hot dog container, eh?
(yelling)
- Erky, you're amazing.
- But you know
what else it is, Perky?
- Uhhm?
- I'll tell ya what,
it's a sign, Perky.
It's a sign We've got to
go home to Hot Dog Stand.
- I don't know, Erky.
It's got to be a long,
long, long way back home.
We'd never make the distance.
- Why not?
- Well, we're not
exactly in top shape.
- Well, we'll just have
to get into top shape
then, won't we?
- You need to get
with the program.
See this muscle?
(farting)
- Impressive.
- All thanks to my
customized exercise program.
- What are you talking about?
- I'll show you.
(upbeat quirky music)
- Hey this is great.
- Looks dangerous to me.
- You'll hafta meet the boss
- Looking for me?
(punching)
You continue on
your own for a bit.
So you're interested in
joining my exercise club, huh?
- Well, actually, no.
- One low monthly
food contribution
and you can come
in as often as you like.
- We're really not--
- We have to get in
top physical shape
'cause we're heading
home but it's a long, long,
long way back to Hot Dog Stand
and look at us, I mean we
like our food, everybody does,
I mean I try to limit
myself to two courses--
- Hey!
Whatever, buddy.
I just know I can
have you in top shape
inside three minutes, yeah.
- Ha!
- Just need one of our fitness
assessment managers, hello.
- Hi!
- To assess what
condition you're in.
- Oh, no.
- Hmmm!
Challenging
good luck!
- Oh dear.
Apparently there's only
one apparatus that will
sort you out.
Follow me.
The Gut Toner 5,000
all-in-one exercise apparatus
will turn a fly speck into a
rippling amoeba in minutes.
- Anyone tried this before?
- Ah, nope.
- Well, after you,
training partner.
- You sure it's safe?
- As long as I stand
back here I'll be fine.
Lie down.
Now clench.
- Clench?
- Yeah, clench your muscles.
Get ready to take the weight.
- Like this?
Hey, Erky, the more I think
about it the more I'm sure
that hot dog container
thing is meant to--
(screaming)
- I thought I told
him to clench.
(screaming)
(splatting)
(groaning)
- That's terrible.
- But kinda funny.
- Can't stop. Nice of
you to drop in though.
See ya.
- Perky!
Perky!
Perky!
You did it!
- Excuse me?
- You were magnificent.
- I've never seen
such bug elegance.
- Wow!
Awe-inspiring Perky.
- I was wasn't I?
- Can we get you anything Perky?
- You name it buddy.
- Um, some food?
- Of course.
Boys, the food.
- Oh, wow!
(chewing and swallowing)
- I'm just so proud of you, pal.
You flew across Kitchen
with all the gracefulness of, of--
- A fly!
- Oh, yes.
- That's right,
I flew, didn't I?
Erky, I've just had an idea!
- Oh, you know how much
I love your brilliant ideas!
What is it?
- I know how we can get
back to Hot Dog Stand.
- But how, Perky?
How can we get back home?
- We're flying home
to Hot Dog Stand.
- [Both] Wow!
- But I don't fly.
- You don't have to fly.
- But you just said
- Because we're
flying home in that!
- What?!
- Oh, and Sajuica's
coming with us as well.
- On behalf of all bugs who
fly I would just like to say
that what we are about
to do is perfectly safe
and even enjoyable.
Should an anything go
wrong please remain calm.
Thank you.
(plane engine revving)
- You sure this is safe, Perky?
- You tell him, Stinks.
- My pleasure, Perky.
Flight is a naturally occurring
phenomenon depending solely
on the confluence of a
number of physical qualities.
- Ah, the sound of
complicated explanation.
So reassuring.
- [Stinks] The law of relative
dynamics states that air
displaced downwards will
exert an equal force upward
(tense music)
- Anyone for some snacks?
Margaret, would you
care for something to eat?
- Oh no thank you, Sajuica.
Please save my
entire portion for Perky.
- Anything for you, Cecil?
- Nope.
Send it on back to the boy
who really deserves it, Perky.
- Hi Perky.
- Hi.
- Would you like
some, refreshment?
- Okay.
- Well, I'm going
to, er, go for a stroll.
- Perky, can I tell
you something?
- Yes, Sajuica?
- I, I
- What is it?
- I want to tell you
- Yes?
(loud crashing)
- We're going down!
- Say your goodbyes everyone!
(screaming)
- Now, fly!
- But Margaret, I--
(screaming)
- Sajuica!
Come here!
- What is it Sajuica?
- Perky I will always--
- What?
What?
- Flap those wings girl.
(farting)
- Bye!
(farting)
- So long bugs, without wings.
- Bugs without wings, huh?
I'll give it a go.
- Goodbye son.
(lips smacking)
Goodbye Perky.
Goodbye kiss.
- No, no, no, no!
(hacking)
- Hold still I'm reviving you.
- Get off me!
- Perky, you're alive!
- What happened?
- You were flung
right across Kitchen.
- And you smacked into the wall.
- And you dribbled
down the face of it.
- It was ugly.
- But thanks to me you're okay.
You owe me boy.
- What about flying
home to Hot Dog Stand?
- Flying?
- Well technically I
suppose you were flying.
- And you were
all flying with me.
- Of course we were.
- And Sajuica, is she okay?
- Last time I looked
she was fiiiine.
- And Erky, you were so
kind to me, so considerate.
- Okay, the boy has suffered
some serious brain damage.
- No, no.
It's true!
We were all on that
Hot Dog Container and--
- Oh, that thing.
That's gone.
- It's gone?
- Yep Gone!
Not a good sign.
- We're not going home anymore?
- Not just yet.
And no more exercise.
It's obviously bad for us.
- Oh, where is it?
Where is it?
- C'mon!
Who was it?!
- Uh, oh.
- I'm coming, wait up.
