[Chester] You see that little cutie sleeping there in the sunbeam?
That's me. My name's Chester, and I'm a cat.
And this is what we cats call the good life.
♪ Goin' to the fridge I'm goin' to the fridge ♪
Good morning, Mina.
Did you and Marsha have a good time at your sleepover last night?
Oh, yeah, Dad. It was super fun!
This is my owner Mina.
She's just about the coolest person on the planet.
[gulping]
[Arthur] What time did you get to sleep last night, Mina?
And this is Mina's dad.
He never does anything interesting, so I just kind of ignore him.
[Mina] Oh, my gosh.
-We didn't sleep at all. -[purring]
[Arthur] But I thought you were gonna clean up the apartment
and do your homework.
[Mina] Well, I don't think that's gonna happen, Dad.
[Arthur] 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 be grounded ♪
Eh, huh? Come on, Dad.
All right, Mina.
I'll be upstairs working on Mr. Mosby'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.
Aw, Marsha. She looks so peaceful.
[yawns]
[gasps] No! Pull it together, Mina. You can do this.
All right. What do 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. -[rock music playing]
All right, Chester, over the course of the next couple of hours,
I'm gonna be a cleaning machine.
I'm awake and alert,
and I'm ready to take on the...
world.
[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 happened 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!
-[wailing] -[gibbering]
No, I know when I'm not wanted. [cries]
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?
[gibbering]
[slurping]
[Bunnicula slurping]
Wait, Bunnicula. What are you doing? What are you putting in your mouth?
What is that? What is that?
[burps]
Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh!
"Omega Juice.
All of the vegetables and most of the minerals."
All of the vegetables?
[gibbering]
At this point, I'm pretty worried.
Just one vegetable can turn Bunnicula into a terrible monster.
I can only imagine that all the vegetables can turn him into...
all of the monsters?
Who are you talking to, Chester?
Oh, that's simple, Harold.
You see, I'm talking to nobody!
Because now I talk to myself
because Bunnicula has driven me so cuckoo!
-[cuckoo clock chimes] -[laughs hysterically]
[laughs hysterically]
[laughs, then belches]
[gibbering]
[sobbing]
Huh? [gibbering, then humming]
He looks like a total creepo.
But he cleans like an angel.
[singing]
Hey, Chester, do I also clean like an angel?
[whirring]
No. But it doesn't matter.
Soon, Bunnicula's head is gonna 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 six million little spider rabbits
and crawl into our noses!
[growling]
-[rumbling] -My gosh. This is it.
He's gonna destroy us all!
[snoring]
[belching]
Ah!
[Harold] Whoa.
Check these out, Chester.
These blankets are mega soft.
[sniffing] And springtime fresh.
[gasps] What the dilly?
Bunnicula single-handedly cleaned the living room in, like, five seconds.
Totally. He seems kind of sleepy, though.
So sleepy.
Wow.
Well, let's move on to the kitchen, shall we?
[gibbering]
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.
Ah!
[belches]
[growling, then yelling]
[gibbering]
Amazing! Bunnicula is moving in bullet time.
Well, it looks like we can just sit this one out again, huh, Harold?
I don't know, Chester. Maybe we ought to help him ou...
[speaking in slow motion]
[in normal voice] Out.
Oh, Harold. Just re...
[chocking]
[coughs] Relax.
Whoa-ho! The kitchen is spotless! That was amazing, Bunnicula.
-[groaning] -What?
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? Hello, Bunnicula!
-Harold, Harold, Harold. -[Harold whooping]
-The echo's gone. -[yelling]
Are you sure it's a good idea to give him more of that stuff?
He's looking pretty ragged.
[gibbers]
It's not a good idea, Harold.
It's a great idea!
Think about it, Harold. Two six-packs. That is 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.
Whoo! [gibbering]
[belching]
-[sniffing] -[snarling]
Dude!
Twelve times the size.
[snarling]
[rumbling]
More than 12 times the size!
[roaring]
My goodness, this is some rumbly plumbing.
The living room, no!
[snoring, then mumbling]
The kitchen! No!
[loud belching]
Wha--? What happened? Bunnicula broke the Orlock.
I'm back!
-Oh, no. Mina's dad's back! -Maybe he won't notice.
[moans, then groans]
Uh, 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 had taken advantage of a friend.
Chester, are you talking to nobody again?
No, Harold.
This time, I'm talking 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.
