Erky Perky (2006) s01e13 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 ♪
Into 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? ♪
(grunts)
- I'm gonna bust a gut.
- I'm gonna bust
a gut and a spleen.
- Bugs don't have spleens.
- It's gonna bust anyway.
- Quiet!
More to the left.
No, to the right.
Eh eh eh, no.
(grunts)
Left.
That's it.
Oh, the perfect spot.
Oh, oh oh.
Don't you just love decorating?
(cries)
On second thought,
let's try over there.
- Oh.
- Oh.
(grunts)
Ah, ah!
Oh, my arm!
Oh, the agony!
Now I won't be able to help.
I might as well leave.
- Leave?
No way.
- You can't fool me.
Back to work.
- Oh!
It's useless.
Limp!
- Oh!
Help!
Everything's gone dark.
Erky, help!
- Get out!
Before you and your arm
cause any more damage.
- I'm going, I'm going.
(ding)
- My poor little wiggy, oh.
- Hmm.
- What are you staring at?
Left!
(clock chimes)
- Aah
This is the life.
- Eh.
Left, right, left.
I'm exhausted.
I'm all used up.
- Oh, gee, Perky.
I wish I coulda helped.
Oh, ah.
- Eh, you can pull your arm.
But you can't pull my leg.
- Bullshit, I can't.
- Oh, oh, hey!
(clink)
- Oh!
- By the way, you
don't have to work
for mad Margaret tomorrow.
- I don't?
Why not?
- Because tomorrow is one
of the best days of the year.
- Oh, is it bugmas?
- Better!
- Stinky cheese day?
Oh, I know, bad breath day.
- It's my birthday!
- Hey!
Many happy returns.
Gee, wait a minute.
You just had a birthday.
Sure.
From now on, I'm having
two, six, ten birthdays a year!
And you my friend,
have the honor
of organizing the celebrations.
We're talking a
fish dinner holiday.
Can I count on you?
- Me?
You're trusting me?
I don't know what to say.
Of course you can count on me.
- Ah!
- It'll be the best
birthday ever!
- Oh, you're my bud.
(laughter)
(guitar tuning)
- Happy birthday Erky!
- Ha ha, that Perky, old pal.
Where's the cake
and the presents?
- I worked my
fingers to the bone
getting the
decorations just right.
But I have one more surprise.
A song.
- Oh, knock yourself out.
(throat clearing)
(beat boxing)
Erky you are so cool.
On your birthday you rule.
Happy birthday to you Erky,
from me, myself,
your best pal Perky!
P-P-Perky.
P-P-Perky.
- Just hold on a minute there.
It's not my birthday
and no one can say it is.
But I like the tune.
Disco fever!
(disco music)
Ah, ah, ah!
What's with the headgear?
- I made it for Erky's birthday.
- Did you say Erky's birthday?
- Eeh!
- Yes you did.
Can't take it back now.
Well, well, what do you know.
It's party time!
- Yeah, party time!
- Where did I put
those platform shoes?
- Yeah!
(buzzing)
- I just heard a rumor
someone in kitchen
is having a birthday!
- A birthday?
Really?
And whose special day is it?
- I don't know.
- Well, it's not mine.
Aah!
- Why didn't you
know about this?
- How could I?
You made me play
banged up bug all morning.
No that I didn't enjoy
every moment of it.
- What are you waiting for?
Go and find out
whose birthday it is!
Kitchen tradition
must be upheld!
Ah ha!
- You're a good lad, Erky.
Your mother would be proud.
- Well, now that you mention it.
I was my mum's favorite.
She used to say--
- Oh!
Is it true?
Is it someone's birthday?
Confess!
Whose is it?
- Really?
- Erky's.
- Erky's?
Oh, oh ho!
Fun fun fun fun fun!
- Yeah!
- As a fervent supporter
of kitchen tradition,
Margaret is pleased to
host a birthday party for Erky!
Everyone is welcome.
- Wow, yeah!
So cool!
All right!
- See you at the
party, young fella!
- You hear that, Perky?
A party!
It's kitchen tradition!
What did I tell you?
This is going to be a great day.
Happy birthday to me.
The greatest bug alive.
I'm getting lots of cake.
Because I am the tool kit.
(buzzing)
I'd like to thank you all
for coming to my party.
All gifts greatly received.
- Time for the first
birthday kitchen tradition!
- I love tradition!
(drum roll)
(laughter)
- A re-birthing!
(laughter)
You're going back to
the cocoon, bug boy.
- Ah!
A cocoon?
Eh, you back off, spider woman!
Whoa!
(laughter)
Ah!
Perky, help!
- The birthday
feast, your madness.
I mean highness.
- Excellent.
Let the feasting begin!
(noisily eating)
- It's delicious, Erky!
What a party!
(muffled voice)
isn't this fun, Erky?
- Cecil, my mallet.

- Erky, I'm having a great time!
One, two, three.
(grunts)

(cheers)
- Food.
Where's the food?
Let me at it!
- Don't worry, Erky.
There's still the cake.
- Time for the second
birthday kitchen tradition!
- What?
- The countdown!
- You mean like
three, two, one, cake?
- Bring out the gong!
(low orchestra rumbling)

I break out in hives.

Eh, nevermind.

Oh, look!
- Mmm, cake.

birthday kitchen tradition!
The birthday cake dance.
- I'm not much
on the dance floor.
I'll just have a
teeny sliver of cake
and be on my, ah!
- Ah-ha!
Take it away, Cecil!
- Whee!
(laughter)
(upbeat horns)
- Aah!
Why?
(laughter)
- Whee!
(tango music)
- You've got some
nice moves, Marilyn.
- Perky!
- Oh!
Now that was a party!
Call me sentimental, but
I'm a pushover for tradition.
Cecil!
Let's go.
Party's over.
- I think that went
very well, don't you?
- Great party!
Loved the cake!
- Aah!
- Great day, Erky.
All that food and dancing?
And mad Margaret loves your idea
of having more birthdays!
- Eh, no.
- Oh come on, Erky.
I know you're tired,
but you don't have to
do any work tomorrow.
- I don't?
- No.
Mad Margaret wants to
play bang the bug with you.
- Oh, bang the bug.
Oh, great.
- You know what, Erky?
- What?
- I can't wait until
your next birthday.
I wanna have a go at
that re-birthing thing again.
It was so sentimental.
- Oh yes.
Brought a tear to my eye.
