[ethereal music playing]
[whirring]
[heart thumping]
[bopping]
-[echoing] Hi, PuppyCat. -[breathing heavily]
You're breathing kind of heavy there, and gross.
[beeping]
[beeping continues]
What?
-[PuppyCat gasps] -[teeth chattering]
[raspy breathing]
-[breathing grotesquely] -[beeps]
[in gibberish] Ooooh…
Thanks. I almost suffocated.
I’ve been playing this game on your phone all night.
[in English] What game were you playing?
[in gibberish] PRETTY PATRICK EGG ADVENTURE.
You gotta make Pretty Patrick some breakfast.
First, you add the water.
Then you turn on the heat and you summon the egg hag.
[chiptune music playing]
Then you wait three minutes for the eggs to boil.
I’ve been counting the seconds.
[in English] What does this money icon do?
[beeps]
[comical music playing]
-[Bee] NO! -[PuppyCat in gibberish] YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
[PuppyCat] OW!! I'M BRUISING!
When I run out of my money, your money becomes my money too, right?
-[smacking] -[in English] My money is always my money!
No! Bad!
[scrapes]
[exhales] So smooth.
[cracking]
[crashing]
Good morning, Cas.
Oh, you're busting up my walls, but now you're doing it backwards.
Found out I gotta protect the junk in the front.
Ugh, gross.
Hey! You've been sleeping here a few weeks and you keep bringing in stuff.
You can't live in my room!
[thudding]
The door.
[crashing]
Good! Good! Good!
-You are being bad, PuppyCat! -[phone beeping]
And you can't jump forever! I want my phone!
Aah!
[phone beeping]
[in gibberish] GURURKK!
[in English] PuppyCat!
[wheezing]
I'll get you down!
-[grunting] -[glass shatters]
[in gibberish] Wretched woman.
-[Bee grunting] -[clattering]
Throw something sharp.
[in English] Okay. Got it.
[in gibberish] You don't need to wrap it.
-[sawing] -[yelps]
-[Bee in English] Oop! -[phone beeps]
[in gibberish] You saved my life. I am eternally grateful.
[in English] You're welcome. Now give me back my phone, please.
Hey!
-No! Bad! -[thuds, shatters]
Aah! PuppyCat!
[in gibberish] What?
[in English] Your paw!
[shuddering]
[in gibberish] Eugh.
[in English] Aah!
-[triangle ringing] -Hear ye! Hear ye! I am Toast!
[muffled] Lend your ears to the voice which pronounceth your inescapable doom.
[ringing]
Ding, ding, ding, ding! I'm also doing it too!
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
I've sampled the apothecary you keep in a mirror over the sink.
I have rifled through all of your belongings
and have gathered serious recon about all of your shameful habits
and subversive property.
[ringing stops]
-[ringing continues] -I've spent entire nights under your beds…
-[gulps] -…listening to you dream.
I have used these dreams to feed my familiar.
[knocking on door]
In your very midst, I've been able to not only thrive,
but grow more powerful than I could've imagined!
The door locks the other way.
[Toast] Now it is through me that the prophecy of doom will manifest!
Gather now about me so that I might shame you more efficaciously.
Everyone in the house, hear me well.
My unwed husband and I have an announcement to make.
Husband?
Why do some of you look guilty? I don't get it. You're using fancy words.
Fine. From this point forward, you may hit me anywhere.
Except here. Ha!
[gasps]
That's right, Castaspella.
Even now in its fetal state, my pregnancy mocks you.
You're not gonna trick me into feuding with another baby again.
Oh, what's that, small half-me?
[gasps] Oh, you want to mystically speak aloud using my mouth?
[squealing] Oh, go ahead, little one.
Climb up to my neck and be heard.
[voice deepens] "Hi, Cas. It's me, a baby."
-"I can't see yet…" -[thuds]
"…but I can tell from your nasally voice
that your hips are inhospitable."
[gulping, coughing]
[squealing] Ha ha!
Good one, my baby.
That baby…
sounds like one of you!
Now she's gonna live with me forever! Which one of you did it?
[paper tearing]
-[grunts] -[groans]
Yes, Cas, one of your six brothers did this,
and you've caught one at random. [chuckles]
Tell me.
[groans, gags]
[coughing]
[Toast] Yes! I am pregnant!
And even though I am laden with the foundries of life,
I will still beat anyone in the ring.
-[bones crackling] -[grumbling] Turn around.
I have a glow. Look at me.
-[Cas groans] -[cracking]
[booms]
I'll never be more beautiful than I am right now.
Merlin!
Yes! It was Marvin!
Merlin!
Right, Marvin.
His name is Marvin! I mean, Merlin!
[in gibberish] You've saved my life again.
[in English] You gotta be careful playing that game, PuppyCat.
You get distracted by Pretty Patrick Egg Adventure,
and you keep almost dying in real life.
[in gibberish] Yes. I love Pretty Patrick Egg Adventure.
[sighs]
[in English] You're not listening. Give me my phone now.
[rustling]
-You tramp! -[footsteps receding]
[rustling]
Oh! It's you.
[Cardamon] Mm-hmm.
[Bee grumbling] Hmm…
Hi, Cardamon. What you doing?
I'm burying my mother's tears in this garden.
Oh. You're making the plants weird.
[Cardamon] Mm-hmm.
[chimes]
[chiming reverberates]
How is your mom?
She's still sleeping and won't stop crying these blobs of color.
That's sad.
Is there anything I can do to help?
-Hold this bag. -[water sloshing]
-Do you know what this stuff is? -[splashes]
No.
[Toast] I'm pregnant. Oh-so pregnant.
[shrilly] So audibly, audibly pregnant!
Now I can raise their rent.
[Bee] Ah. Out-of-shape footprints.
[jaunty music playing]
[in gibberish] Ugh, hurry up.
[dings]
[in English] Oh, nicely done. You're a good egg.
[in gibberish] Thank you, Pretty Patrick.
[in English] Phone, please.
[in gibberish] No! I've almost ranked up to Egg-Beater Class!
If I boil and peel 17 more eggs,
Pretty Patrick will email me his personal hotline number!
-[in English] You're a good egg. -[groaning]
Oh my God! You bought $500 of in-app purchases from Pretty Patrick?!
[in gibberish] Pretty is priceless.
[in English] I don't have $500, PuppyCat!
Hey, look at me!
Look at me.
Both of our savings combined is only $30.
[sighs] We have to do temp work. And after it's over,
I am keeping your share of the money to pay off this bill.
[in gibberish] For Pretty Patrick, nothing is impossible.
[in English] Rent is due on the first of the month.
-[phone beeping] -[bubble pops]
[ethereal music playing]
[phone dings]
My phone!
[ethereal music playing]
[water burbling]
-[water rushing] -Oh, you idiot!
No! No!
-Oh my God! -[phone beeps]
[ladybugs sobbing]
[sobbing continues]
[smacks]
[squeezing]
[retches]
[in gibberish] You saved my life again.
[in English] I know you wanna make Patrick happy,
but you can just wait the three minutes till the eggs are--
-[Pretty Patrick] Nicely done. -I am gonna put you back in the tree!
[in gibberish] Okay! Fine! I'll pay it off.
[scuttling]
I caught the letter in midair.
[clapping]
[ethereal tones chiming]
[in English] TempBot, you won't believe this...
PuppyCat took my phone and bought all of these in-app purchases.
[in gibberish] I needed them.
[in English] No one needs to buy fake time for boiling in a fake egg simulator.
[PuppyCat in gibberish] Yes.
[Bee in English] You can't have my things. They're mine.
[in gibberish] Ownership is an illusion.
Nothing is real in this life
except Pretty Patrick’s Boiled Egg Adventure.
[in English] You don't know.
Who's your friend?
[Bee] Huh?
Your friend?
Who? PuppyCat?
The nest? Those eggs?
PuppyCat's bell?
My shorts? My shorts?
I was getting ready for bed and gave up halfway.
My hair? My cell phone?
Mmm. What's its name?
Cellphone.
Hmm.
What?
TempBot, we need a really big assignment to pay off PuppyCat's cell phone bill.
Is Cellphone going with you?
Yeah.
[laughing awkwardly]
There's a big job to do on Palm Planet.
That's what I do.
I organize important jobs and give them to temporary work professionals.
It's important work, managing so many different assignments.
[laughing awkwardly]
Prepare for uniform assignment.
Aah.
Hey, wait. Can you give this note to Cellphone?
But tell it it's from…
Don't tell it it's from me, but just see what it says first.
[chuckles]
[in gibberish] You can trust me. I am good now.
[in English] Oh?
[in gibberish] I will find a proper time to deliver the letter
to avoid any suspicion of your authorship.
[groovy music playing]
[in English] Ew. Ugh. I can't.
[whimpers softly]
It's hard. My fingers are so small.
[chuckles]
I know. Will you hold mine?
Rest it on my palms.
Sick.
It's too hard.
It's not hard. We're just not good at it. We're good at other things.
Our hands are gross.
Yeah, our hands are gross.
Ew. You're right.
Hello. So I am here to help you open that can of soda, right?
-[fizzes] -Oh, wow.
-Dude, sick. -Oh yeah.
Yes. Wow, it's open now.
Our hands are so gross.
And so long.
All right. So we'll take our payment now, please, and be on our way.
Oh, no.
This little can isn't the assignment.
Didn't the agency tell you?
[chuckling]
All right.
No, TempBot didn't say.
-Yeah. -Oh, gross.
Interesting.
[fizzes]
-Fascinating. -[creature] Ew.
Mm-hmm.
Argh! What are you doing?!
Oh, this? This is how we learn…
[both] And understand each other and the world around us.
-[chuckles] -[clicks tongue, inhales]
-Yeah. Okay, so… -Mm-hmm.
-[whispering] Can I learn from you? -Yeah, can we learn from you?
[yelling] No!
Just tell us what you hired us to do so we can get out of here!
Oh, well, I assume you're here because you asked for a big assignment.
We need someone who can open our big soda on the other side of our planet.
Oh.
How are we gonna get up there?
Oh, you're, like, the professionals, right?
[groans] Yeah. Get out of our way.
[in gibberish] Wait up for me, Bee.
[in English] Want me to pick you up?
[in gibberish] Pick me up.
[in English] Sure you don't wanna walk yourself? Maybe get some exercise?
[in gibberish] No. I'm into eggs now. I want to live like an egg.
[chuckles]
[in English] All right.
Maybe I… [exhales]
…I can punch my way to the top.
Oh, yeah, like punch into the metal and climb up the punched-in holes.
[rattling, booming]
[explodes]
Wow. So pretty.
-[camera clicks] -[paper rustles]
[in gibberish] Can I have your phone for a second?
[in English] What? No, you've been bad!
[in gibberish] I am a good egg.
[in English] Pretty Patrick Egg Adventure turns you into a thievy little nightmare.
I'm not letting you have my phone if you're just gonna keep stealing.
[in gibberish] I have been charged with a secret mission that requires your phone.
[in English] I'm trusting you because…
I don't know why, but I am watching you.
So, technically, I don't trust you that much.
[PuppyCat in gibberish] This is for you.
OH NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
[phone screeching]
[in English] What did you do?!
[in gibberish] I was being good!
[in English] You're selfish!
[in gibberish] Noooo.
[Bee in English] PuppyCat is selfish!
[ethereal music playing]
[phone screeching]
[laughs]
Is this is a butt text? It's a weird one. It's making my phone warm.
[upbeat music playing]
[airplane whirring]
[high-pitched beeping]
-[beeping continues] -[snoring]
[grunts, snores]
[phone beeping shrilly]
[both] You gotta pour it into the cup!
In the cup!
[shouting] What?
[both] You gotta pour it! Pour the soda in the big cup!
That's the last part of the job!
[thuds]
Uh…
That looks hard.
I'm gonna come down!
[creature] No.
[creatures] No. No.
[Bee grunts] Whoa.
My thighs.
[both] You need to pour the soda into the cup so we can drink it!
You gotta pour the soda! Then your job will be complete.
I know! I heard you!
But I… I don't think I can do that.
I mean, why do you even have this big soda or that cup?
I mean, it's too big and you can't even get up there to drink it. It's too big!
We don't want to drink it. We want to learn from it.
In the cup, this was a big temp job.
-I thought you were a professional. -…you were a professional.
[chuckling goofily]
Okay. I'll try.
[suit squeaking]
[fizzes]
I told you I couldn't do it!
-Ooh! Ooh! -Oh! Oh!
You owe us a soda!
Yeah, you owe us one big soda.
You still have to pay me. I got it open.
No, we don't. We pay when the job is done, and now it can never be done, probably.
You took this away from us.
We like to study everything by touching it with our--
Ew. Our fingers.
It's not easy for us.
Our fingers are disgusting,
and we know that they are gross.
Ew. Ugh. Sick.
But this is how we live. This is our life and it is how we live it.
Ew. We're born this way, and we live our lives
by learning from the world around us,
and learning from the soda and the cup was a gift to ourselves for the year.
It was the icing on the cake for our past year.
-Now it's floating into the sky. -[burps]
[creature 2] It's a mess, thanks to you.
Ew.
To learn by sticking our tiny fingers into the molecules of new things,
but we can't do that now, and we're not going to pay you anything.
[in gibberish] If I let you touch my face, can we get the money?
[in English] We'll pay you half.
[in gibberish] Okay.
[in English] Ew, PuppyCat. No!
Don't let them touch your face with their little fingers!
[both] Whoa. Wow. Ew. Oh wow. Ew.
Oh, he's becoming goopy. How often does that happen?
[in gibberish] None of your business.
[both in English] It's none of our business.
[in gibberish] You can touch it for ten more seconds.
[in English] No, we don't need ten more seconds. We're done.
Want me to carry you home?
[in gibberish] No, I'll walk.
[thuds loudly]
[suit squeaking]
[thuds]
[coins clattering]
[in English] Thank you, PuppyCat, for letting them touch your face
for money.
I'm sorry I called you selfish.
I was wrong to scream out into space that you were selfish.
Now I can pay off your bill.
-[coughs] -[clinks]
[phone dings]
[beeping rapidly]
[beeping continues]
[sniffing]
-[burps] -[beeps]
You are the most special egg in my life.
You crack me up.
[in gibberish] YEEEAAAAH! Gulp! Gulp!
I got salmonella from eating eggs off the floor.
Bee took care of me till I felt better a week later.
