Erky Perky (2006) s01e16 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? ♪
- Mmm, that stench,
what do you think it is?
- Who cares?
It's green, it's? greasy
and I'm going to eat it.
Okay, go.
Okay.
Rah!
Okay, that's a wrong way.
- Hiya Perky.
Can I talk to you?
- Rah!
Oh!
Stand still!
- You want to talk to me?
- Yeah, um, I was wondering
if you could do me a favor.
- Just name it.
I'd be happy to do
absolutely anything you ask.
- Could you come up
to our lair for a minute?
- Except that.
- Ugh!
Rah!
- You don't need to
worry about Aunt Margaret.
She's out looking for
someone new to wear.
Please, Perky, I really, really
need you to see something.
(tinkling)
- Well, okay, if you're sure
Mad Margaret's
on a hunting spree.
- You'd have to be
bonny to go up there.
- Thanks Perky,
I'll never forget this.
(splats)
(door creaking)
Come in, silly, I told
you nobody's home.
- Hmm.
Nice, anybody I know?
Okay, well, thanks for
showing it to me, gotta go.
- Five, six, seven, eight.
Hot dog, hot dog,
stand, stand, stand.
Hot stand, hot
stand, dog, dog, dog!
Dog stand, dog stand!
Hot, hot, hot, dog, stand!
Well, do you think I
could make it as a dancer?
I mean on Hot Dog Stand?
- Ooh, great!
Oh, I love the tapping.
Yeah, and the pointing.
Ooh, my favorite
next to the twirling.
(gulps)
- How dare you
set foot in my lair,
you sniveling worthless
waste of bug carcass!
- I didn't want to come,
Your Horribleness,
but Sajuica made me.
I told her it wasn't right.
- Perky.
- Sajuica, I didn't mean
- You are so pathetic, you're
not even worth squishing.
- Thank you.
You're right, you're
right, I'm nothing.
- I wouldn't have you
on my wall if you paid me
a million crumbs, you zero!
- Thank you!
(metal clanking)
- I'm guessing Mad Margaret
came home, you groveled
and turned green
in front of Sajuica
and then Mad Margaret
hollered and tossed you out, huh?
- Mm-hmm.
I wish I weren't so pathetic.
- Well then don't let
yourself be pushed
around all the time.
Stand up!
I never let anybody
push me around.
- You push them around,
I know, you're perfect.
- I am.
You could call me a Super Bug!
- If I were only
more like you, Erky,
then life would be great.
- Let's do it!
(laughing)
- Why am I happy?
- I am going to turn you
into a Super Bug just like me.
(laughing)
- You'd do that for me?
- Oh, yes!
And then you'll
give Mad Margaret
a taste of her own medicine
and win back Sajuica's respect.
(nervous giggle)
(gulps)
The first step in becoming
a Super Bug like me
is confronting your fears.
Now let me hear it!
(clears throat)
- Confront my fears.
- I can't hear you!
- Confront my fears!
- Now tell me your fears!
- Oh, I'm afraid of
being tackled, monsters,
looking up, having an
itch that I can't reach.
Ooh, my second cousin Avril--
- Well you've got Super
Bug written all over you.
After this, you won't be afraid
of monster bugs anymore.
- Um, I'm also
afraid of the dark.
- Take off the blindfold.
Aargh!
(screams)
Perky, look, it's me
and a potato peel.
- Oh, no!
You mean I'm afraid
of potato peels, too?
- No, you're not
afraid of anything.
Come on, show that potato
peel you're a brave Super Bug.
(growling)
(growling)
(noisy eating)
(burps)
Hey, where's my share?
- Um, Super Bugs don't share.
(growls)
- Nice!
You have successfully
faced your biggest fear.
- I made a mistake.
Monster bugs aren't
my biggest fear.
(nervous giggle)
- Fear of being hurt!
- That's definitely
my biggest fear.
- Not for long.
Turn around.
(screams)
Will you stop doing that?
That's just like running away.
- That's why I do it.
- No more rolling.
- Okay.
- Pinky promise.
- Pinky promise.
(snap)
Hey!
- Well that didn't hurt, did it?
That's because
bugs don't feel pain.
- (gasps) You
mean I'm not a bug?
- Ow!
I mean, that didn't hurt at all.
Congratulations,
Perky, your biggest fear
has finally been faced.
(bell rings)
Time to show Kitchen
the new Super Bug.
- Hey! I give the orders
around here, buddy.
Get used to it.
(growls)
Now, let's go.
(swishing)
(sneaky music)
(crickets chirping)
(leaf crunching)
- Hey, watch where you're
stepping, you yellow belly!
- Save it for the old
fleas home, Pops.
I'm not listening.
- What did you say?
- Ooh, careful, you
dropped your cane.
I said, old timer,
your stories are boring
and you always fall
asleep before the end.
(growls) (screams)
- I don't know who you are,
but I think I used to like you.
- I figure we charge
the aphids double
because they have two stomachs.
- That's a great idea, Frenzel.
Count me in.
(dance music)
- Hey, invited guests only.
Scram!
- Yeah, well, you're the
one who should scram
because you're a
bilious balloon of germs
just waiting to pop.
- Who put you up to this?
- Erky.
And, and I never
liked your eyes.
They don't match.
'Scuse me.
- I've been teaching
him to be more like me.
- Erky, you wrecked
a perfectly good bug.
(farting)
- My grandmother
makes worse smells.
They should call you
Flowers, not Stinks.
(farts)
Amateur!
- So Stinks doesn't
like the new Perky.
Big deal, Super Bugs
don't need friends.
You're ready, time
for Mad Margaret.
(bugs chattering)
(bell rings)
This is it, the final test.
(slapping) (growling)
- Ho, ho, ho!
This ought to be good.
Five crumbs says
he loses his head.
(laughing)
- I'm ready.
(growling)
- Mad Margaret, get down here!
Perky's got something
he wants to say.
- I do?
(growls)
(growling)
(wings flapping)
(growling)
- Oh, oh, oh, look!
The dizzy-eyed yellow one
is pretending to have a spine.
(laughing)
- Mad Margaret, your days
of flying around Kitchen
like a queen are over.
I'm the new Queen, and
these are my loyal subjects.
- [Both] Oh, no we're not!
- Oh, Perky, what
happened to you?
- Oh, don't listen to her.
- But, but
- You're a Super Bug,
you're not afraid of anything.
- I'm not
Scared.
- We'll soon see about that.
(bugs gasping)
(laughing)
(screeching)
- Oh!
Stop!
Please stop!
You can be the Queen.
You can be the Queen.
(bouncing)
(bugs sighing)
(blows breath)
(crickets chirping)
(clears throat)
- Some applause for Margaret,
you sniveling wretches.
(loud applause)
- Thank you.
You're all too kind.
- Say good-bye to
Perky the Super Bug.
- I'm glad you're you again.
Everybody likes the
sweet, kind Perky.
- She's right.
Welcome back!
- Righty-o!
Who is Perky?
- Wow, I think I'm gonna
stay a miserable, cowardly bug.
- You left out
pathetic and annoying.
You know there's a
lesson to be learned here.
Some of us are super and
some of us are, well, you.
- I know what my
biggest fear is now.
Fear of not being liked.
I don't know how
you can stand it, Erky.
- What are you talking about?
Everybody loves me.
- [Perky] Well, I don't know.
Remember, I was
just like you for a day.
- [Erky] Come on, look at me.
What's not to love?
