(LAUGHS)
CHESTER: You see
that little cutie sleeping
there in the sun beam?
That's me!
My name's Chester,
and I'm a cat.
And this is what
we cats call,
"The good life".
MINA: (SINGING)
Going to the fridge,
I'm going,
I'm going to the fridge ♪
Good morning, Mina!
Did you and your friend,
Marsha, have a good time
at your sleepover last night?
Oh, yeah, Dad!
It was super fun!
CHESTER:
This is my owner Mina.
She's just about the coolest
person on the planet.
(GULPING)
MINA'S DAD: What time
did you get to
sleep last night, Mina?
CHESTER: And
this is Mina's dad.
He never does
anything interesting,
so I just kind of ignore him.
MINA: Oh, my, gosh!
(PURRING)
We didn't sleep at all.
MINA'S DAD: But I thought
you were gonna
clean up the apartment
and do your homework.
MINA: (SCOFFS)
Well, I don't think
that's gonna happen, Dad.
MINA'S DAD: Well, then
I guess you're grounded.
(LAUGHS)
Say what?
CHESTER: Yeah,
Mina's dad never
does anything interesting,
until he does.
I've been reading this book
called Maybe you should
ground your child.
And it got me thinking,
maybe I should
ground my child.
Dad! Who gave you that book?
You know
how impressionable you are!
Well, actually, Mina,
this book was given to me
by a giant anaconda
that I met in the basement.
Have you ever thought
that maybe you should
ground your child?
Oh, Dad! You're so weird.
I can never tell
when you're kidding.
But the good news is,
there's no need to ground me.
I may have been up all night,
but I've got so much energy.
I'm gonna clean this place
and I'm gonna do my homework.
You will be astounded,
your worries are unfounded
And there's no need
for me to grounded! ♪
Hey, huh? C'mon dad!
All right, Mina.
I'll be upstairs working
on Mr. Moseby's plumbing
for a couple of hours.
When I come back here,
things better be in order.
Easy-peasy, Dad!
Right? Easy-peasy Chester.
I mean, the kitchen
is a little bit of a mess,
but nothing I can't handle.
And then the living room
Uh, okay, the living room
makes me tired
just looking at it.
And then finally,
we'll move on to the homework.
Ah, Marsha,
she looks so peaceful.
(YAWNS)
(GASPS) No!
Pull it together, Mina,
you can do this!
All right.
What have we got here?
"Omega Juice.
"All of the vegetables
and most of the minerals."
All right,
that'll help keep me awake.
Some loud music
(LOUD MUSIC PLAYING)
All right, Chester,
over the course of
the next couple hours
I am gonna be
a cleaning machine!
I'm awake!
And Alert!
And I'm ready to take a
(SNORING)
Now if I lived in any
other apartment building,
Mina would get grounded
and that would be
the end of the story.
But it just so happens
that someone very special
lives in
the Orlock apartments.
Is it me?
No, Harold.
I'm talking about someone
who helps Mina
when she gets in trouble.
Oh! You're talking
about Bunnicula.
No, no.
I'm not talking about him.
I'm talking about me!
I help Mina with her problems,
that's why they call me,
the fixer.
Oh, I thought Mina
said you were fix-ed.
The point is,
Mina needs our help right now
or her dad's
going to ground her.
That's terrible!
Why would Mina's dad do that?
That dumb, giant snake
that Bunnicula's been
hanging out with
gave him a book.
(SOBBING) I'm not dumb!
I'm just a reptile!
Our brains
are the size of peas.
(MUMBLING)
No, I know
when I'm not wanted!
(WAILING)
Oh? What?
So now I'm the bad guy?
Are you guys gonna
help me or what?
Is this helping?
No.
Why don't we start
by picking some of this
stuff up off the floor?
(MUMBLING)
(SLURPING)
(SHATTERING)
Wait, wait, Bunnicula.
What're you doing?
What are you doing?
(STUTTERS) What're you
putting in your mouth?
(SLURPING)
What is that? What is that?
(BURPS)
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
"Omega Juice.
All of the vegetables
and most of the minerals."
All of the vegetables!
(MUMBLING)
At this point,
I'm pretty worried.
Just one vegetable
can turn Bunnicula
into a terrible monster.
I can only imagine
that all of the vegetables
can turn him into
all of the monsters!
Who are you talking to,
Chester?
Oh, well,
that's simple, Harold.
You see,
I am talking to nobody!
Because now, I talk to myself,
because Bunnicula
has driven me so cuckoo!
(CLOCK DINGS)
(LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY)
(LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY)
(LAUGHS)
(BURPS)
(MUMBLING)
(SOBBING)
(MUMBLING)
(HUMMING)
He looks like a total creepo,
but he
cleans like an angel!
(SINGING INDISTINCTLY)
Hey, Chester,
do I also clean like an angel?
(WHIRRING)
No.
But it doesn't matter.
Any minute now,
Bunnicula's Head is going
to turn into a pillar of fire.
Or he's gonna grow, like,
80 feet tall and step on us,
or he's gonna break
into, like, six million
little spider rabbits
and crawl into our noses.
(SNARLING)
(RUMBLING)
Oh, my gosh, this is it!
He's gonna destroy us all!
(SNORING)
(BURPING)
(SIGHS)
(BURPS)
HAROLD: Whoa!
Check this out Chester!
These blankets are mega-soft.
(SNIFFING)
And springtime fresh.
(GASPS)
What the dilly?
Bunnicula single-handedly
cleaned the living room in,
like, 5 seconds.
Totally!
He seems
kind of sleepy though.
(SHATTERING)
So sleepy!
Whoa
Well, let's move on
to the kitchen, shall we?
(MUMBLING)
Aw! Hey, buddy, why don't
you sit this one out?
I mean, how bad
can the kitchen really
(MICE SQUEAKING)
be?
Huh?
(GASPS)
More of that Omega Juice?
Hmm.
(CHUCKLES)
Hey, Chester?
I'll start by cleaning
this light bulb.
(GROANING)
Don't you worry, Bunnicula,
Harold and I can handle
the kitchen ourselves,
even though it might take
a really long time.
(EXCLAIMS)
(MUMBLING)
(BURPING)
(MUMBLING)
(EXCLAIMING)
(MUMBLING)
Amazing!
Bunnicula is moving
in bullet time.
Well, it looks like
we can just, uh,
sit this one out again,
huh, Harold?
I don't know, Chester,
maybe we ought to
help him out
(SPEAKING IN SLOW MOTION)
Out.
Oh, Harold, just relax.
(CHOCKING)
(COUGHS) Relax.
Whoa-ho!
The kitchen is spotless,
that was amazing Bunnicula!
(BUNNICULA YAWNS)
(GROANING)
Nose to the books folks!
It's time to tackle
the homework.
With a double six-pack
of Omega Juice. (ECHOING)
Juice. Juice.
I think
there's an echo in here.
Hello!
(SNORING)
Hello, Bunnicula!
-Harold, Harold, Harold?
-(HAROLD MAKING
INDISTINCT NOISE)
The echo's gone.
(EXCLAIMING)
Are you sure
it's a good idea to
give him more of that stuff?
He's looking pretty ragged.
(MUMBLES)
It's not a good idea, Harold,
it's a great idea!
Think about it, Harold,
two six packs!
That's all of the vegetables
times 12,
and 12 times
most of the minerals.
Which means Bunnicula
will be done 12 times faster.
And there will be
plenty of time before
Mina's dad gets back.
(MUMBLING)
(BURPS)
(SNIFFING)
(SNARLING)
(LAUGHING) Dude!
12 times the size.
(SNARLING)
(RUMBLING)
More than 12 times the size.
(SNARLING)
MINA'S DAD: My goodness,
this is some rumbly plumbing.
Nobody move. No!
(SNORING)
(FOOTSTEPS THUDDING)
(MUMBLING)
The kitchen! No!
(LOUD BURP)
What happened?
Bunnicula broke the Orlock!
MINA'S DAD: I'm back!
Oh, no, Mina's dad's back.
Maybe he won't notice.
(GROANS)
Dad?
Nice work, Mina.
It looks great in here.
Eventually,
Mina's dad did notice.
Oh
Mina got grounded,
and she was sad.
The worst part was,
I just wanted to
fix Mina's problems,
but in the process,
I'd taken advantage
of a friend.
Chester, are you talking
to nobody again?
No, Harold.
This time I'm taking
to Abraham Lincoln,
the 16th president
of the United States.
It's good that you've
taken responsibility
for your actions, Chester.
I'm sure
you'll do better next time.
CHESTER: Thanks, Honest Abe.
I'm sure I will.
