(yawns)
- Up and at 'em, Perky my Pal!
Today's a big day!
- C'mon Erky, today is
gonna be just like yesterday,
a never-ending
search for scraps.
You act like food
just falls out of the sky!
(splat)
- Well, that was
a piece of cake!
- What is it?
- Piece of cake.
(humming)
- Aw Mad Margaret has it all.
Now we'll never
get another taste.
- Don't be so sure.
As the saying goes
what you don't ask for
you don't get to
stuff in your mouth.
- You're just going to ask?
- [Erky] Something like that.
- Oh Cecil, I am so full!
- I know.
- It's not my fault you're
allergic to chocolate.
(knocking)
- Hey, someone's at the door!
What do you want?
- Ahhh we found
this at your door.
(nervously giggles)
- And what is that?
- We don't know but I
mean aren't you intrigued?
Don't you want to follow it
and find out what's
at the other end.
- Yeah, we'll stay here
and mind your choc
- Oh, no don't pull it, you're
supposed to follow it, um.
(grunts)
(snores)
Oh, gee, look at that!
What a surprise.
(slaps)
- Hey.
(grunts)
(splats)
- I had the most terrible dream!
(chewing)
(knocking)
- Not again.
- Just when we were
enjoying me time.
Whoever it is, get rid of them.
- You again!
Look get lost will you,
Margaret doesn't want to see--
- Oh my, where did you get
those lovely head pieces?
- [Perky] Excuse me?
- Those wigs, where
did you get them?
- Oh these old things?
Frenzel was having a sale and
we thought we'd get one each.
You like?
- Oh I must have one!
- Margaret?
I'm staying here!
- [Margaret] Cecil my handbag!
Hurry, before all
the deals are gone!
- This pile of cake
better look exactly
the same when we get back!
(door slams)
(laughs)
- Wait!
We can't eat too
much or they'll know,
we'll have to use self control.
- Right!
(chewing)
- Perky!
Oh Perky.
Oh, don't worry I have a plan.
(tools buzzing)
No, Perky, it's just a picture.
(Perky giggling)
Perky!
(straining)
- OK, I'm alright now!
(grunting)
- Uh oh, Mad Margaret
will be able to follow us
unless we find something
to wash our feet.
Something like that!
(percussive beat)
- What is it?
- I don't know.
(knocking)
(slurps)
(straining)
- I ung ith uck!!!
- Your mom's a duck?
- O!
I ung ith uck!
- You stung a buck?
- O, oo, e-e-it!
My ung ith uck!
My ung ith uck, my ung ith uck!
- It'd be a lot easier
to understand you
if your tongue wasn't stuck.
- That's what I said!
- Don't worry, Erky,
I'll have this problem
solved faster than
you can hug a duck!
- Air are oo o-ing?
- To get my thinking cap!
- No, no, no, no, no, no!
- Sorry it took me so long,
but I couldn't find my thinking
cap, so I brought Stinks!
- What seems to be the problem?
- My ung ith uck!
- His mom's a duck,
and he also seems to
have his tongue stuck.
- Hmm.
Notice how the gravotorial
forces of nature have failed?
By my tabulations
he'll be stuck forever!
- [Both] No!
- Oh he won't
stay stuck forever.
No, no, no.
First he'll freeze, then
drown, then he'll come unstuck.
- ]Both] No!
- 'Course, you
could just rip him off!
- Uh
- Right!
(straining)
- It seems you are flaunted
by the girth-omological size
of Erky's rotundness.
(groaning)
- Help?
- Wait
(farts)
(yelling)
- Hank you.
Why am I halking like his?
- Hey.
What's that wobbly thing?
- Has a very
tongue-like texture.
- Reminds me of
a friend of mine.
She had a tail just like it.
- No!
- Wait till I get my
hands on Erky and Perky!
I can't find Frenzel
or his wigs anywhere!
Hey!
- Oops.
- You did that on purpose so
you could lick your own feet!
(slurping)
- Guilty.
(coughs)
- Serves you right.
Let's go, we've got
some bugs to fry.
- My ung!
My ung!
(sobs)
My ung.
My ung, my beautiful ung!
- It's okay, Erky!
I've got your tongue!
- Erky and Perky!
Where's my wig!
- Erky what do we do?
Erky?
Someone tell me what to do!
- Run!
- What?
(jazzy music)
Speak to me, Erky.
What should we do?
This stinks!
(farts)
- I've been doing
some tabulations
and I think I have
the problem licked!
Erky could probably
recombobulate a new tongue,
if he were to have
some food, sugary food!
Like chocolate!
So, she asked you for a wig?
- Yeah.
Where did she get that idea?
- I don't know.
- I didn't have a
wig, but she insisted,
so I had to improvise.
Besides, Bob, owes me a favor.
- Who's Bob?
- Ah, well, never mind.
Anyway she said she
was headed back home
to try him, it on.
Now if you'll excuse me,
I think I'm going to have
to lay low for a while.
- Oh, I can't wait to see
how my new wig looks.
- Nothing but the
finest for you, Margaret!
- All right, now
to pin it in place!
- Pins?
No one said anything about pins!
I'm outta here!
- (screams) It's alive!
Don't let it escape!
My wig is gone!
And it's your fault!
- Go on, say what I told ya!
- Well you see, shame
about the wig and all and well,
but um, well Erky has
had an accident you see
and we would be so
grateful if you could just spare
a little chocolate so
he can recombobulate.
- What will you do for me?
- Um, make you another wig?
- Acceptable!
But only a bite!
- Wow, really?
Well, thanks Mad, er, Margaret!
(screams)
- My cake!
I've been robbed!
- Run!
- How dare you
steal food from me?
- And me!
- I was saving that
cake for dinner!
And now thanks to you I'm
wig-less, cake-less and starving!
- But I won't be
starving for long.
- Oh, that's good.
- At ave oo one?
- Wait, I know
what you're saying.
- Margaret, as peace
offering please enjoy
this special treat
from Erky and I.
- No!
- In fact it was
all Erky's idea.
This is a rare delicacy he's
prepared especially for you.
He calls it Tongue De Loon.
- No, no no no no!
- Very well, fetch Cecil!
- [Erky] No, no, gi mi ah!
(Margaret gulps and swallows)
- Mm!
Tasty!
Bitter at the
back, a little sour
on the sides but salty
and sweet at the tip!
- Does that mean
all is forgiven?
- No!
(screams)
(splats
- I don't believe it.
I saved the day!
Good thing your tongue
was so tasty, huh Erky?
- I hay you!
- I hay you, too buddy.
Oh, and here!
- How could you?
Of all the stupid things
that you could have done
how could you feed that
crazy bug my tongue?
Thinking for yourself
is not an option
for you in the future.
And as for decisions,
if I see you
- [Perky] Yup, the old
tongue's as sharp as ever.
