[TV playing]
What do you think, Bonnie?
You're right. Too boring.
[woman on TV] Working as a brain surgeon,
an astronaut, and a supermodel
can be tiring,
so Bonnie needs a vacation now and then!
And there's no better vacation spot
than her new Getaway Beach Pad!
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking, Bonnie?
Mommy, Mommy!
-Mommy! Mommy!
-Ella, honey, hold on.
-Whoa!
-[sighs]
Mommy! Daddy! Bonnie's really stressed.
I know how she feels.
And she needs a vacation.
Can I buy her a beach house, please?
[laughs] That's a beautiful dream,
honey child.
And if you wanna make it come true,
you need to start saving your money.
Yeah. Just like we've been doing
for our vacation, Ella-bella.
You could start right now.
That's not 'nough, Daddy.
I know, sweet pea.
But from little things, big things grow.
It's gonna grow?
[yawns]
Oh, okay.
We've got a lot of deliveries to make.
Can you kids grab a few things
from the store?
Grandpa will walk you there.
Oh, oh, whoa, whoa!
Come on, Ella,
time to go shopping with Grandpa.
Can I wear my pajamas, too?
[gasps]
[chuckles] Oh, yeah.
Be right back.
You're right, Bonnie.
We really need some
[grunts] money.
That's what I want!
[gasps]
-Where do you want this, kids?
-[Ella] Right here, Grandpa!
Ugh. If you need me,
I'll be in my office.
[yawns]
[snoring]
Okay, let's check the list.
Milk. Bread. Eggs.
Bonnie's Getaway Beach Pad
Wait, what? That's not on the list.
I buyed it.
You bought it? With what?
Hmm.
Ella, you didn't!
[snoring]
[gasps]
It's okay. It's okay.
Long as it's not damaged,
we can return it.
Oh, no!
Ella!
Bonnie needs a vacation.
She works really hard fixing brains!
And how hard do you think
Mom and Dad worked to save all that money?
[gasps]
I don't know, Benji. How hard?
[Ben] Mom and Dad got that piggy bank
a long time ago.
And I've seen them put coins in there
every single day since.
I did something real bad, didn't I, Benji?
[cries]
I only wanted Bonnie to have a vacation!
[crying]
Oh, no, no, don't cry, Ella.
You shouldn't have taken that money,
but we can fix it. I promise.
Okay, now we have to earn that money back
before Mom and Dad get home.
How we gonna do that?
I've got a few ideas.
The car, um, bike, scooter
Um, vehicle wash is officially open!
So, uh, how much is it?

Are you familiar
with the concept of noise pollution?
What's the mean girl saying, Benji?
I'm saying, stop making that racket!
How rich are we?
Well, if we ignore the likely fine
from Stephanie's official complaint,
we are $6.29 in debt.
Yay!
Um, what's "in debt" mean?
It means we're even worse off
than we started.
But Mom and Dad will be home soon.
All right. It's time for Master Piece.
Dancing Machine used to make cars,
so making money should be easy.
ABC, easy as one, two, three!
[laughs] No sweat, Benja-matic!
I'll get you more money
than you can carry.
Dance this way! Ha ha!
Dance this way!
[beatboxing]
[laughing and beatboxing]
[Ben sighs]
[Ben beatboxing]
Isn't that The Maestro's palace?
So what are we doing here?
Trust me, brothers and sisters.
Boom! Here it comes!
[gasps]
What are they, Benji?
Records. Gold records!
[laughing] The Maestro makes 'em faster
than he can get rid of 'em!
[beatboxing]
[beatboxing]
Now we just have to carry them.
[whistles]
Hey, Jimmy! Jimmy Mack!
[tires screeching]
Hey, guys! [laughs]
What's up?
That's the last of 'em, Jimmy.
Oh, Dancin'? Oh, that is pushin' it!
Oh, no, our gold!
[laughs] All aboard the gold rush!
[Ben] There!
Thanks, Jimmy! We got it from here!
Go for gold, kids!
[grunts] I'm out of here!
And now we watch the money roll in.
[both cheering]
[humming]
[gasps]
Huh? It's melting.
[gasps] It's impossible!
It can't be happening.
[gasps]
What do we do now, Benji?
I guess what we should have
done all along.
Mom? Dad? We need to tell you something.
That's great, Ben.
'Cause we have a few questions.
Mmm-hmm. Like, where'd you
get the money for this, Ella?
I took it from your piggy, Mommy.
I'm really sorry.
And I thought we could put the money back
before you found out.
Well, you shouldn't have taken it.
[Marvin snoring]
But thank you for owning up.
I'm proud of you.
You're proud?
Does that mean
we don't have to pay it back?
[laughs]
Well, the best things in life are free.
But that doesn't mean
you can get something for nothing, Ella.
But we tried to make the money back,
Mommy.
Yeah, and the only thing we earned
was a noise complaint.
Then maybe you need a new approach.
What's something you're both good at, hmm?
[Marvin snoring]
[snorts] Oh? A pig?
[stutters] What'd I miss?
[sighs]
[giggles] Let me fix your hair, Grandpa.
I think I just got an idea.
[Marvin] Come one, come all.
Get your original glamour portraits here,
hand-painted by the one
and only Benjamin Love.
With hair and make-up
by my precious Miss Ella.
