(whistles)
(yells)
- Am I dead?
Are you an angel?
- No, it's Seduca, silly.
Here, let me help you.
What happened?
- Oh, I lost my balance.
(laughs)
- Well, I guess I'll see you.
- You will?
When?
- I don't know, what
are you doing later?
- Oh, eeking out a meager
existence while struggling to
survive constant peril.
But I can cancel!
- You know, for a weedy
little yellow bug with puny arms
and no bottom lip,
you're kind of cute.
- She loves me, she
loves me not, she loves me,
she loves me not.
She loves me.
Did you hear that, Kitchen?
She loves me!
Erky, those are my crumbs!
- What?
Crumbs don't eat
themselves, you know.
- Never mind.
I'm not hungry anyway.
- Are you sick?
- Nope.
I'm in love.
- In love?
- Well, definitely
in major like.
With Seduca.
We're gonna get
together later on.
- She said that?
- Well,
- What would a cute little
former Ms. Cocoon see in you?
- Whoa!
(yells)
what are you doing?
- I just needed to lie down.
- Girl troubles, huh, kid?
- No.
Well, yes.
And the only way to end my
misery is the mighty torrent
from above!
Right?
- Listen, I have a little
something here that I'll trade
you for, let's say two crusts?
- Two crusts?
I don't have two crusts.
- Too bad.
I guess I'll have to sell my
love crumb to somebody else.
- Love crumb?
- Whoever eats it is
guaranteed to fall in love with the
first bug they see.
- So if I get Seduca
to eat this and then--
- You become, in her eyes,
the hottest bug in Kitchen!
- Is it safe?
No side effects, I have
allergies, you know, delta mash,
plasma duco, flopdust.
- Surefire, 100%
success guaranteed.
- Oh, another blackhead, nice!
Happiness, am I
hearing happiness?
That can only mean one thing!
Food!
You found more food, didn't you?
- I have something better.
- What would a cute little
former Ms. Cocoon see in you?
Well, what is it?
- Um, it's,
a crumb that makes
you disappear.
I got it from Frenzel.
- A disappearing crumb?
Now what kind of fool would
believe in a disappearing crumb?
(yells)
Mad Margaret!
Oh no!
Oh you, give me the crumb!
- What, no!
Oh!
- You can't see me!
(laughs)
- How many times
do I have to tell you?
Everything in Kitchen
belongs to me, including
your reflection!
- Oh!
- My love crumb!
- You are so masterful!
- I, huh?
- Oh, your power,
your sheer power!
- Are you insane?
- Yes, with admiration for you!
- I'm gonna be sick.
- Your scent is intoxicating.
- It is?
- Like a moldy bit of crust
one might find between
one's toes.
- Stop!
Look at me, I'm blushing!
- Please, you must
allow me to worship you.
- I don't know.
This is all so sudden.
- Meet me up on the windowsill,
there I will perform for you
the traditional bug
dance of worship.
Tethering me to you forever.
- Color me intrigued!
(laughs)
of course, if the dance is
anything less than spectacular,
I'll be forced to turn
you into a suitcase!
Cecil, fetch me my cheese.
Thank you.
There!
I'm done.
- Do we have a big
evening planned?
- Not we, me!
I'm going out.
And don't wait up, I
might be quite late.
- There's another
bug in her life?
- Let me get this straight, I
accidentally ate a love crumb
that I thought was a
disappearing crumb and now I've
fallen in love with an
insecticidal maniac and don't
remember that
you're my best friend?
- Yes, exactly!
- You're one funny bug.
What's your name again?
- Oh, she's here!
- Well, hello.
- Um, um, um,
- Is that what you
say to girls in the city?
- Um um, um,
- Oh, I get it!
Um um, um um!
(laughs)
Way random, Perky!
(gasps)
- Um, I've got
something for you.
- You have?
- Close your eyes.
- I've been counting the
moments until you came, my dear.
And I don't even know
how to count that well!
- Well, I must admit I've
been looking forward to this
evening too.
- Erky, can I say something?
- No, you may not.
- I am deeply honored to
now perform for you the sacred
bug dance of worship.
- No!
- No?
- No?
- Yes, exactly, no!
I mean, how can you perform
the bug dance of worship
without the ceremonial makeup?
- Oh, I forgot!
- Let me help you slather it on.
- Hey!
- Erky, you can't perform
the bug dance of worship for
Mad Margaret,
you snap out of it!
- There's nothing to snap
out of, she completes me.
- No she doesn't, she eats you!
Not completes you,
there's a difference.
- Don't you get it, this is it!
True devotion!
Oh!
- Ow!
- Oops, sorry.
- Wait here, I'll be right back.
- Um, um um.
Um.
- I'm back.
Um, um,
- For me?
Uh, cute!
- [Erky] Uma uma uma ma ma
uma uma uma uma ma ma
- Is that a dance from the city?
- Um, yes.
- That Erky, he wants to
become Margaret's willing slave?
Her unappreciated, overworked,
maltreated and groveling
footstool?
That's my job!
(chanting "Uma")
- Mistress Margaret, you
are my morning, my evening,
my larval stage, my pupa stage.
- Erky, don't!
- Why not?
- Um, um, the musicians,
they're not here yet!
- The bug dance of
worship doesn't need music.
- In most times, but
tonight is special, isn't it?
- I think I deserve
the full treatment.
Don't you?
- Of course.
- Um, I'm gonna go see if
I can find some musicians.
Promise me you won't
dance until I get back.
Promise me, promise me!
- Go, go on.
(chanting "Uma")
- Um um, um um
- Um um, you going?
- Um um, um um.
Gotta practice these new moves!
- The approach of amazement!
- Oh dear!
Oh!
- And now the
flutter of flattery!
- Um um, um um.
- And finally, the
samba of surrender!
And I will be
your slave forever.
- Bring it on, hee haw!
- Prepare to meet
your doom, Erky.
- No!
- Oh, what happened, where am I?
(yells)
Mad Margaret!
- Mad Margaret?
- I'm up, I'm up, oh yeah!
- Oh, you had
your fun this time.
Cecil!
- I'm coming, Mistress!
- [Seduca] That
was so cool, Perky!
- Um, good!
- See ya.
Um um, um um.
- Perky, what happened?
- Um, well,
(gasps)
- Was I just, did I actually?
- Yeah, the samba of
surrender and everything.
- Oh, what was I thinking?
- Well,
- On second thought,
I don't want to know.
I'm just happy it's over.
Perky, my friend,
take it from me.
Love is like a rose.
- It is?
- Yep, fake and stinky
and if you're not careful,
you can fall inside
and get trapped.
