make the rules
Ava: Hey, Pepper.
Your turn, Oscar!
Oh, Mortimer, you're growing up so fast.
Hedgehog! Where are we running to?
That's a nicely eyebrowed piece of pottery you've got there.
To Susie's, to get my wand back!
Where does the time go?
Max, what are you working on today?
It's a tornado-style pot.
Is...time... of the essence?
Oh, thanks, Grandfather clock.
Hmm, yeah.
Hey, Ava, why are you getting rid of this stuff, again?
Hedgehog, this is beautiful.
What?
Thanks, Ava.
Okay! What'd I say?
I'm spring cleaning!
-A grub made of sleeves! -A mutt full of fleas!
Guys, I've got to say,
I guess what I'm asking is, uh, must we run?
It's summer, Ava.
your pottery skills are impro...
I procrastinated.
A gut ball of grease!
Nope! I said...
Hey, Ava. How's the yard sale going?
Thanks. I just ate a huge breakfast and --
What kind of pot is that, Oscar?
My butt's made of cheese!
-Pretty peachy. -Oh, look -- a violin!
It's a lint pot.
It's, uh, for bits of lint and stuff.
Yep! Game over, kids.
Whoa. Whoa!
Neat! Ooh, there's something else in here.
I gotta go do my calisthenics or I'll get depressed.
I don't think my pottery skills are improving.
Oof!
She must've stepped out. I'll just run in and grab it.
Whoa, baby Ava.
Everyone else is so good.
Check it out -- I'm a lemon slice! Squeeze.
I like your lint pot, Oscar.
I didn't know she played the violin.
It has feeling.
Hey! Don't zest on my tasty buns!
Sorry I'm late, everyone, but check it.
Make way for a large pepperoni with extra Hedgehog.
Come on, Oscar, help me look.
Aww, she looks so happy.
My violin!
Hurry up and find it so that we can get out of here.
Oh, sorry. Is this not for sale?
Lost it first thing this morning.
You can have that for free.
-Wow! -That's so cool.
Great towels, everybody.
Where is it?
Lucy, that's a huge deal.
Oscar, let's see yours.
Come on, it's gotta be here.
-Is it broken? -No. The violin sounds great.
You can have this grown-up cookie covered with toffees
My towel is... blue.
Aw, come on, come on.
I used to love playing it, but then I got stage fright,
because you don't have anything to lose.
and now, I can't play it without screaming.
Well, if I could, I'd make a towel
Ooh, thanks!
Geez. What happened?
Lucy, were you the last one of us to lose --
that looked like a tortilla and wrap me up like a burrito.
I was playing at my recital, and it was going well.
Hello, Susie.
Oscar! That's a great idea!
You have one reminder.
to -- to still have a baby tooth?
But then, I started thinking about the audience,
Well, I think Oscar still has a baby molar.
-It is? -We should make those towels!
Play reminders?
who was staring at me with those cold eyes.
Right, Oscar?
Whoops! Spilled my beans!
Hey, uh, Hedgehog?
Then, suddenly, those cold eyes were turning into cold notes.
Am I right?
This is going to be so cool.
Yeah, it would be cool. Too bad it's impossible.
What? Come look.
Did he say "yes"?
He did?
Hello, Susie.
Then, I couldn't play the notes because I was too cold.
-Why? -Make something on your own?
You have one reminder.
I advise you to stop those vain judgments,
Play reminders?
Then, the audience started booing.
as a fellow citizen of permanent teeth.
You can't. Towels come from stores.
Susie's intimate deets.
A citizen of what?
But the world doesn't have to be like that.
Maybe we shouldn't -- Play reminder.
All the notes started booing,
so I couldn't do anything else but scream.
Let me tell you a story about my uncle.
I actually lost mine, too.
Good morning, Susie.
-Awesome! -Oscar, my bro!
One time, he had a vision of making socks
Susie here with an important reminder from me to you.
Ugh. Real nightmare.
Shushabee! Yeah, right. When?
that looked like asparagus.
Remember, no matter what anyone says,
Haven't played since.
Here, Let me show you.
Well, he tried his best, and he failed!
This -- Last night.
you are a perfect, delicate princess.
Prove it.
And that was the end of my uncle.
You're beautiful and strong
Uh...
and the architect of your own awesomeness.
I wasn't finished!
Yeah. Show us.
Anyway, it's cool.
Mm, yes, prove it.
That was the end of my uncle's story.
Also, you're late for Meeting of the Minds
at the Bank of Heartforde at 9:00.
I mean, I do miss playing the violin,
Of course. That's a very logical request.
Wow. So he lived.
but what are you gonna do?
Get a move on.
It's not an inspirational story, Oscar.
Did you hear that, Oscar?
Well, I'll take good care of it, Ava.
I can respect that. It should be easy to prove.
Not with that attitude, it's not!
That must be where she took my wand.
We'll see you later.
I guess the easiest way to prove it would be to, uh...
But 9:00 was over an hour ago.
Look, I would love for you to make your own towels.
-I feel bad for Ava. -Me, too.
But if my uncle couldn't do it, no one can.
Yeah, but don't worry. I bet it's one of those meetings
Oh!
We have to figure out a way
Ohhh.
where the first hour is them just gabbing
to get Ava to play the violin again.
Alexa, I think you'll be pleasantly destroyed
You know what? I'm so dumb.
and talking about their weekend and stuff.
Without screaming.
when we prove you wrong.
I completely forgot that I've been carrying
You know, you're right.
-I have a plan! -I have a plan!
I doubt it, but good luck!
Ooh, do you think it's the same plan?
my baby tooth around with me in my pocket
Come on, let's go find that meeting.
My plan is, Ava got stage fright for the first time
since 9:00 last night. What?
Oscar: Tortilla, towel.
But what are you gonna do
I guess half this cookie belongs to you, Oscar.
if she won't give you your wand back?
during a recital. Right?
Tortilla, towel.
So, I got to get her to return to the scene of the crime,
If you take it from her, she'll just take it back again.
Psshew!
Yeah, well, we'll see about that.
get her back on the horse, and help her do a new recital.
-Yay! -Yeah!
How many tortillas do you think it takes to make a towel?
I'm a lot stronger than she thinks, you know?
Thanks for helping me out, Hedgehog.
No problem.
We do not have the same plan.
Um, yeah, for sure.
What?
I was gonna say we should get everyone in their underpants,
It's not like we're gonna be thrown in jail, or something.
Like if we layer them and smash! And smash!
Stronger than anybody thinks.
'cause it's hard to have stage fright
I don't think that's gonna work. But look at this ad.
when the audience is all in their underpants.
Dirt.
Are you Oscar?
Heartforde Towel Company.
You work on that, and I'll do my thing.
Yeah.
We make custom towels?
Molar Mole.
All we have to do it send pics and tell them how many we want.
I've got a report of one newly dislodged baby tooth
"Closed for meeting."
of the molar variety.
You're a genius, my Hedgehog.
I think it's closed, Hedgehog.
Huh? Ava?
Hand it here, please.
Uh...
Something's moving in there.
-Hi. -What are you doing up there?
Oscar! Time to wake up!
Look, it's unlocked.
Aah! I thought you were asleep!
Spring cleaning. I'm repainting the place.
Why not?
No way! I'm just on low power mode
Come on.
Ugh. I hate painting!
while we wait for our towel delivery.
It's a fake.
For your sake, I hope you have a good lawyer,
I share in your excitement.
Well, can you come here for a sec?
Um, excuse me. Excuse me?
you molar-faking swine!
But don't you think it's time to change out of your swim trunks?
What?!
Can't do that. Low power mode.
Oh, I thought I smelled something.
You're under arrest by the Molar Mole Fraud Squad.
I think you should do a recital.
Anything you say above ground
may be used against you underground.
The solution isn't just selling your violin,
Special Delivery!
Baby powder.
Enjoy!
Aren't you taking this way too seriously?
and squashing out something you love!
It's Stuart, your nemesis from the library.
It's just a fake tooth.
Big box for just 2 towels...
Yes, it is. The best way to get over your fear
Okay, let's go.
Hedgehog, call my lawyer!
Oh! I changed the order to 4.
I know who Stuart is.
is to sell your violin, and not let the buyer
You don't have one. You're a child.
Then call my mom!
Did you forget to cross out my 2?
Excuse me, the bank is closed today.
come into your house and noodle around in your past.
Oscar!
Or did you just write a 4 next to it?
Well, call me "spaghetti," because I'm noodling.
Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup.
If you'd like to return tomorrow,
Hedgehog, I would never cross out your 2.
after you've had your nap,
Look at this picture of you. You're so happy.
This way.
-Whoops. -Well, let's see what we got.
I'm sure someone will be available to assist you.
That way, tough guy!
You should at least give it one last try.
Alright. Alright. Hup, hup.
Kind of small.
What are you even doing here, Stuart?
Forget it! I'm cleaning.
I asked for regular size.
Inside!
Well, I already booked the hall.
Oh, no.
If you're not into it, can you teach me how to play?
"Regular" means "small" in towel sizing.
I'm just here to keep any goober-fingered little rug rats
If you want a regular towel, you have to order a "biggo."
Did you already put down a non-refundable deposit?
from snotting all over
Can we return them and start over?
Hedgehog! Oscar!
this serious, grownup -- oh -- meeting.
Mm-hmm.
The receipt says no returns on custom orders.
Hello. Who's this?
Oh, man.
Bartholomole Hildebrandt Esquire,
And now all our chocolate money's gone.
Oh, really? Well, I'll have you know
I'll tell you what -- you paint my house,
finest lawyer in all Metropmolis!
that we're not here for a meeting, Mr. Know-it-all.
and I'll teach you the violin.
Maybe Alexa was right --
Are you here to represent me?
you can't make your dreams come true.
Deal!
We're here to open checking accounts!
Well, normally, yes, but it's Tuesday
Aah! Aah! Aah!
You can only hope to buy them in stores.
'Cause we're grownups, Stuart!
and my name starts with a "B," so no can do.
And we need checks to pay our bills!
Oh, Hedgehog, we do not have the same plan.
-Ah! -This is just a hiccup!
We can sell these little towels
Because we're responsible! Bah!
Oh. But you can
borrow my law book.
and use the money to make big ones!
You could never handle a checking account.
I never use it 'cause I'm so good.
We just gotta hustle! Hust-le!
Those are for serious non-babies.
Hi, Oscar. What's up?
I'm so sorry I got you into this mess, Oscar.
Together: Hust-le! Hust-le!
Click! Click! Click! Click!
You'll be hearing from my lawyer.
So, you were at the scene of the stage fright?
I'm gonna get this straightened out as soon as I can.
Thanks, Stuart. That's right,
Thanks, buddy. I know you will.
I have a lawyer because I'm a grownup!
Oh, wow.
Click! Click! Click!
Where did you even get that picture?
The book of Mole Law, complete and unabridged.
That's right,
I'm a grownup!
Click!
That happened a long time ago.
Just revised this morning, as a matter of fact.
Man, that Stuart really cheeses me off.
Tortilla Towels! Tortilla Towels!
-Tea? -Nah, I'm good.
Wait. I'll take that, Mr. Esquire.
So, about Ava's stage fright...
I'd like to go right back in there and give him
another piece of my --
I'm gonna be Oscar's lawyer.
Well, sure.
Wrap the meats you are in our incredible Tortilla Towels.
Ava and I had nice tea together before that rehearsal.
Up-bup-bup. Maybe let's try a different way?
You can be his astronaut, as long as the judge doesn't mind.
Ava played so beautifully, until she got stage fright that night.
How many towels would you like to buy today?
Huh?
I think I know just the thing.
Law number one, the judge is always right.
It looks just like a burrito!
Come on!
She used to be so happy just from hearing
Well, good luck, and don't mess up my book.
But it smells just like not a burrito!
the violin being tuned.
Um...
And now, all that's left are screams.
Thanks. Thank you.
Did y'all go anywhere in your flying saucer?
Tastes just not like a burrito, too.
Well, this is a lot to learn.
They're not for eating.
No, we mostly stayed in.
We'd better -- Trial's starting.
This is super cute,
Finally got up early enough to go to the farmers market.
Ooh ooh.
Do you think it's because of that tea we drank?
and if it was bigger, I'd totally buy one.
Well, well,
Hmm.
But there's no room in my life for hand towels right now.
He was cute, but I just can't take Tauruses seriously.
if it isn't the shameless counterfeiter.
I heard tea makes you sort of relaxed.
Right? That's what I heard, too!
You know what I mean, Betsy?
Hello.
I like to eat tortillas. But I don't think they're cute.
Okay, okay, that's enough chitchat.
What if I told you we could fix Ava's stage fright?
Oscar, don't respond to that.
Glad everyone had a nice weekend.
Sorry.
I've assembled you all here today to talk about...
You must be a fool to have pulled this clumsy caper.
I already tried everything.
I tried acupuncture, a psychic reading, couple's massage.
What do we do now, Hedgehog?
this!
Here in Metropmolis,
Well, the peaches were just gigantic.
Nobody wants our towels.
I even bought her a viola, trying to trick her mind.
we don't play by your silly above-ground ways.
Everybody does want them, Oscar.
I mean, these...
Leaders, hello?
She screamed twice as loud.
Oscar, these laws are all nutso.
They just don't know it yet.
This is a wand?
Honey is a vegetable?
But how do we make them know?
A wand I saw Hedgehog using?
Did you try...
Last week was all Tuesdays?
First, you gotta put your clothes back on, Osk.
Eeny, meeny, miney, chocolate.
Yeah, we had a candy slide and, uh...
underpants?
I did not.
No salad for Dave?
It's time.
Second, we need to get to them in the place
Okay, well, what if I told you that unbeknownst to all of us,
I read in a book that picturing the audience
What are we gonna do?
in their underpants fixes stage fright.
No, Oscar, these moles are imbeciles.
where hand towels matter the most.
Betsy has been teaching Hedgehog magic behind my back!
I'll run circles around them.
-Their hearts? -Their homes.
So, I want put all the monsters in underpants.
Opening remarks.
Counselor, if you please.
What?! Oh!
But we don't wear underpants.
Kids! What do you want?
Oooooo-oo-oo.
Watch this.
We don't even wear overpants.
Good day! We'd like to speak to the monster of the house.
I love this juicy drama.
Who says you need overpants to wear underpants?
Ladies and gentlemoles of the jury, I ask you this.
-Are you selling something? -Why, yes!
Ugh! I need your keys so we can lock this
What is free will, really?
in the safe until further notice.
Hmm?
In fact, the most marvelous and --
Hmm.
During this trial, I intend to demonstrate
Alright, let me just stop you right there.
Come on.
Seriously, just pass your keys up here so we
can get on with it.
that Oscar's sheltered upbringing
has left him so impressionable
But you don't even know what we're selling!
Okay.
that he effectively lacks any agency at all.
I don't want any!
Georgina: These oil pastels should do the trick.
I'd do anything to see Ava that happy again.
I call this condition "impressionablitis."
Mortimer, please!
Great! Let's make some underpants!
We are trying to make our dreams come true.
Voilà! A magnificently perfect Pointillist mustache.
Hedgehog: Aah!
Stop! I know you're new here, Counselor,
Ugh. Oh, alright.
Oh, Hedgehog, we do not have the same plan.
but all opening statements must be delivered
Just this once, because it's you.
Thanks, Georgina. This is gonna be great.
I'll do yours, Hedgehog.
while standing on one leg.
Uh, Hedgehog?
Well, a deal's a deal.
Law 751.
Let's start with a simple classic.
Oh. Sorry.
Hedgehog, what's this?
As I was saying --
I'm designing a rudimentary siege engine, a tank of sorts.
Stop! Law 87.
Take it away, Hedgehog!
Anyone standing on one leg must also be touching her nose.
Life, it's messy.
Hmm.
Stuart's gonna rue the day he stood between me and my wand.
Every day, we get our hands dirty.
Aah!
Okay.
Every day, we wash those dirty, dirty hands.
Uh, so, as I was -- Stop!
But that's crazy.
Aah!
But you're not crazy.
It seems you can't be too close
We wash, rinse, and repeat, only to get our hands dirty again.
to the violin without screaming.
So, when the trial is through, you will see then,
Wait! Don't you see?
What?
I think you just need a bit of distance
he can't help but do what it takes to fit in.
Susie put Stuart there to throw you off your game
from the violin in order to teach me.
And sometimes we wonder -- what is it all for?
so you'd make mistakes!
Atrocious.
Is this endless routine all we have?
And it's working!
I suggest you brush up on your mole law, Counselor.
You may have a point.
Hmm.
And then, you look at your hand towel.
Don't worry, though, 'cause my plan is foolproof.
You found anything useful yet?
Your sad, grimy, faded old towel, hanging by a thread.
Your plan?
Mm, maybe this one?
Ava says you need to play a little faster.
It's about courtrooms being hippopotamuses on holidays
Props. Props?
And you think to yourself...
Elaborate props.
How did she seem? Like, a little calmer?
if the defendant is over 10 years of age.
...gosh I love tortillas!
Ooh-boo-boo. Thank you,
Saxophone.
Ugh! I'm not getting paid for this.
Well, that leaves you out, you big baby.
What?! What?!
Now, who's next?
Fine. Tell her "okay."
Lucy?!
Well, now, you can reach for one of these!
Gosh, I don't know what to do.
You said you'd go first.
Will the witness please take the stand?
This doesn't make any sense.
Hedgehog's smart, responsible, and conscientious.
You're next, Howard. Hold out your leg, please!
Oops. Got to run.
I mean, maybe if the towel was bigger...
Now, Lucy, the defense would have us believe
I don't see why she can't learn magic.
10 inches. Arms, please.
then I could wrap up my body like a burrito
Hedgehog has a lot of potential.
and forget my troubles.
100 inches.
that you teased Oscar, and excluded him from the group,
Yeah, Susie, Hedgehog would be a great witch.
80 inches.
You could wrap up your hands
Listen up, monsters!
making him desperate to fit in.
You know that. So, why are we here?
We didn't just measure for fun.
and use them as hand burrito mitts!
'Cause some of us have plans.
This is a pair of underpants.
Is this true?
Well, are they towels? Or mitts?
No, Your Honor. In fact, he teased and excluded me.
Study them closely.
Sure they are!
Mortimer: And then just go take a look around, you know?
This seems really half-baked.
And just this morning, he -- he stole half my cookie!
There's so much great -- Need I remind you
all of Mildred?
And this is yeti yarn!
But...
Let's knit some underpants!
Everyone said she's so smart, so much potential,
-Underpants! -Yay!
Lucy, what are you doing?!
They're gonna put me in jail!
We can't even sell one hand towel.
a real preteen prodigy.
Pfft. Chill out, Oscar. It's only for six months.
Oscar, I think I'm done!
Maybe Alexa was right, we're not entrepreneurs.
Those are great underpants, Blanche.
Six months?! You got to tell them the truth.
We're entreprenothings.
Put them on. -Okay.
I don't even know what that word means.
Ha!
Oh, we're all about truth, now, huh, cookie boy?
Oh, no.
-Whoops! -Oof!
Stop! Bailiff, get her out of here!
Hmm!
See those holes, there?
Oh, right.
-Puddle, are you okay? -Puddle, are you okay?
Susie: But she never learned to use her powers responsibly.
I'm fine! And I didn't spill my bubble water
And when confronted about it,
No.
Eh. I don't know about this, Oscar.
But Judge, what about my cross-examination?
that I've been looking forward to all day.
she threw a tantrum and left home.
Monsters, I realized I've neglected to give you all
Ugh!
Uh...new law.
Ah, refreshing!
All Lucys shall not be cross-examined,
some crucial information.
-Towel? -Thank you!
Allow me to demonstrate how to step into underpants!
but rather, there'll be, um, lunch break instead.
This is a superb body towel.
Oh, goodness! My hat!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Very absorbent.
Aah!
Actually it's a hand --
Aah! Aah!
Oscar: Mm, I think that went okay.
It's a hand-designed full-body towel!
Yeah, maybe. But what are we gonna do?
Ha! Aah!
Aah!
I do love bespoke bath products.
Oh!
Yay! Whee! Yay! Whee!
I can't learn all these laws.
All: Underpants! Underpants!
And even if I could, the judge will just add more.
Check it out, I'm a burrito!
She's a witch! She's a witch, she's a witch!
One for The King, please!
Well, maybe instead of all the laws,
Here!
Just be sure to tell all your friends
you could just focus on one, like a one-pronged attack.
about our tortilla towels!
Of course I will. I'm a tastemaker.
Susie: She walked into the woods that night and disappeared.
One law. One law.
Bye!
Hedgehog?
Wow, so you really don't have stage fright?
-Our first two customers! -Our first two customers!
If Hedgehog goes bad, we don't know what she'll do.
Hedgehog? Oscar, shh!
If Puddle wears our towel to the alien beach,
I'm scheming.
You're not thinking about the audience?
She could end up blowing all our covers.
Judge: Now, Oscar, you must answer every question
we could sell the rest of our stock in a few weeks!
Nope. I don't get stage fright.
As Prime Monister, I speak for the monisters --
I'm not thinking about anything.
and must follow all instructions,
See, Ava, getting over stage fright
and that's all there is to it.
I mean, monsters. And you have our support.
First one awake gets to pick the TV channel!
is just about turning your thoughts off.
Counselor, you may proceed.
Yeah, it's not necessary to talk. Just give me your key.
I think, if you just tried to play --
Counselor?
Man, not me.
Thank you. I accept your apologies.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
That's it! What's it?
I just think about everyone watching me,
Hedgehog: Judge, if I may.
I don't make the rules, but I live by them!
Am I the only one here who thinks Hedgehog
and absolutely messing up, and everyone booing me,
Breaking news!
and then feeling dumb for the rest of my life.
Now, then, Oscar, will you please let the court know
is mature enough to handle it?
Our beloved king has made a commercial for a towel!
where you were at 10:00 this morning?
Georgina: Ooh! There we go.
And in a shocking twist, this towel looks...
No can do. I don't know how to tell time.
But it's cool you don't have stage fright.
Oscar: Very nice. Now, hold still.
like a tortilla!
See you tomorrow.
Also, I don't know what "court" means, or who Oscar is.
Let's take a look at the sensation
Exquisite.
Huh.
that's taken the palace by storm.
Stop! Why is Oscar putting on this foolish act?
I'll admit, it's not bad.
The King: Hey, friends.
What are we doing, again?
Are you on the beach crying because you're not a burrito?
'Cause Hedgehog told me to.
Morning, Hedgehog! How's your day going?
Counselor?
Well, stop and get yourself a tortilla towel!
Where are you going, Mister, with...
Judge, you just said Oscar is acting foolish,
Great! I'm pretty much ready for the recital.
It's soup and salad. I'm delivering this to grownups.
which means he can't be a fool,
-We are, too. -I'm gonna keep practicing.
Oh, you want to be a taco?
since he must act to seem like one.
Tss -- I mean, to the meeting.
Wait, why are you practicing?
-Easy! -Tortilla towel!
Correct?
I am French.
An enchilada? Nothing simpler.
Oh, my plan changed. I'm doing the recital.
Yes. And...?
I don't speak French.
Tortilla towel!
And so, I rest my case.
Go that way.
What?
Or maybe you just wanna chill quesadilla style!
Hedgehog, I have so many underpants in motion right now!
-What? What? -What do you mean?
Gosh, I didn't know.
Explain yourself.
-Tortilla towel! -Whee!
-Well... -Okay, look. It's fine.
Well, as a rotten little show-off, I'm glad you asked.
I know Hedgehog. She's no Mildred.
Can you just bring Ava on stage when you're done?
The King: Buy Oscar and Hedgehog's tortilla towel.
We can't afford to be afraid of things
As you know, the first law of Metropmolis is
By royal decree.
that haven't happened yet.
Great!
the judge is always right.
-Wow.
Do you really want to start a beef with the witches?
Oscar! Are you watching this?
So, you were right when you said that Oscar is not a fool.
Huh?
Allô, mon chéris.
Look, Puddle told the entire alien world about our towels.
But, and I'm sure the stenographer will concur,
I, 'ow you say, thought you might be 'ungry
Uh... sounds good!
We sold 15,000 of them!
the second thing you said when we entered the courtroom was...
for a petite sa-lad.
Alien News here.
Oh, yeah. This plan is gonna work.
You must be a fool to have pulled this clumsy caper.
How do you feel about having 15,000 unfilled preorders?
I am French.
Oscar, I don't know how you got in here, but get out.
15,000!
Therefore, if one must be a fool to have committed this crime,
But we we're just trying to make 2 regular sized ones!
I'm about to lock up a wand.
Welcome, monsters!
No!
Allow me to introduce you all to our friend, Hedgehog!
and Oscar is no fool, then Oscar is free to go.
Don't worry, we'll just have to make 15,000 towels,
It's Hedgehog dressed as a sa-lad.
and then we can make 2 towels for us!
-Yeah! Hedgehog! -Hedgehog!
Ta-da.
Wait! I've worked so hard for that wand!
That's how business works.
Can you tell our viewers why you haven't shipped my order
Why is it so bad if I have it?
Well, I know when I'm beat.
See? What'd I tell you? Angry salad.
That was a truly fine display of Mole Lawyering.
that I placed 2 minutes ago?
This is exactly the type of stuff Mildred would do.
Doing great, sweetie.
I want my towel!
Yeah, I'll say. That's the smartest thing you've done
Mildred couldn't wait.
Pajamas: Customer service.
Mildred tried to take everything she wanted.
Uh...uh...
since you made me that fake tooth this morning.
Yes, we're working as fast as we can.
Everybody thought she was so special.
Oh, no. She's panicking.
Sir! That's a very rude thing to say.
Monsters, put on your underpants!
Are you mad at me?
But you have to learn like everybody else!
Hedgehog? Um, okay.
Speak to the management?
Thank you.
Well, I'm gonna go poke around out there.
Maybe you should speak to anger management!
Maybe I can find the first mole?
Actually, forget it. I'm not gonna lock this up
for safekeeping.
The lawyer?
Hello. Customer service.
Yes!
She knows this part. This is the easy part.
I'm tossing it in the middle of the ocean.
Hedgehog, great news!
How many does that make?
Uh, 14.
No! Reconsider, Susie!
Why is she getting stuck here?
What?
I found this dental mirror,
Nice! Gonna grab some snackberries
You don't know how conscientious and reliable I can be.
She's getting in her head about it.
and hop right on the next 14,986.
so we can look around corners when we escape!
Wow. Good job, Oscar.
Sorry, Susie, I can't let you through this door.
Boo! Boo! This is an assault on my little ears!
Plus, I got the key to your cell.
If we don't go to the bathroom, sleep, or eat,
Wha-- How?!
Aah!
Terrible!
I found one of the guards, and pushed him over.
we should be done in...
Oh, yeah, you're stronger than me.
Boo this!
Ramona: Enough!
Oscar, I love you!
4 years!
Now, let's get the heck out of this crazy place!
Ramona? How long have you been here?
I'll just work and snack at the same time.
Long enough.
No guards around. They must all be pushed over, or something.
That shouldn't create any easily avoidable problems.
Butter Goth, can you turn the camera toward Susie?
Let's go.
Order 15 here I come.
Um, Waiter?
-Ooh! -Ooh!
Look! There's a special door!
Oui, oui.
Maybe it leads to the surface!
Stop! You're going to stain the towels!
Huh?
Ava, you played something without screaming.
Lovely. Thank you, Butter Goth.
I did? I did!
Root beer time at last.
Hedgehog, having a job is making me sad.
I was so worried about you
Pointed-hat lady!
Susie, can you see me? A-Am I coming through?
I didn't even think about my stage fright.
Now you're attempting a criminal escape?!
The customer is always mean.
Nope, can't see you. You're in frozen time,
and we're in a bank basement, so...
Guards!
Maybe Alexa was right.
Oh, come on, Your Honor.
Ah, Ramona, you beautiful sorceress.
She was just trying to help me.
Creating something on your own is impossible.
Because I was obsessed.
This is Mortimer. We see and hear you perfectly.
No! I was wrong! You guys worked so hard!
Coming out of retirement, MoMo?
Obsessed with being embarrassed
because I was the late baby in my pottery group.
Not quite. Oh, it's good to see you all.
In a day, you got so much further than my uncle
Yes, pottery group.
ever did in his whole life.
I was even embarrassed because I still have a baby molar.
-You're amazing! -You're amazing!
And you've got something that he didn't have.
Susie, it was I who told Betsy to train Hedgehog.
It worked! She saw the underpants.
But so what?
Your friends! We're here to help!
Yes, I have a baby molar. I can live with that.
Seriously? Oh, my gosh.
Betsy was just a pawn?
What I can't live with is Hedgehog getting thrown in jail.
Ava! Brava, Ava! Magnificent!
Susie, I've been trying to tell you,
Oh, you did great! One of your best.
Take me! I'll go for twice her time.
How many does that make?
but you refuse to listen.
Thanks, Blanche.
With this one...
I had Betsy begin Hedgehog's training
Hmm? Hmm. Hmm.
Why are you all wearing shorts?
37!
No! No!
since you've been otherwise occupied
They're not shorts. They're underpants.
How did it finally come out now?
I quit!
and neglecting to do it yourself.
Address my unemployment checks to the dresser!
What are underpants?
Your baby teeth fall out when you're mature,
and that was a very mature speech you just gave.
Now, Susie, you will not destroy Hedgehog's wand.
Wait. You don't know.
Hey, lazy kids! Where's our towels?!
It was? Oh, yeah.
So, why did I...
Yes!
Oh. This was a waste of everyone's time.
I planned it out that way, quite maturely.
But you will lock it up.
Babies!
No.
The whole camp is overrun with cranky aliens!
Rose water soda, my treat!
But Hedgehog will continue to learn magic.
Hand it here, please.
Ship these towels faster! -Help us, then.
What? Okay.
It's been fun, Oscar. I'll see you later.
The sooner we're done, the sooner they're gone.
But she has to be taught by you, Susie.
-Yeah, later. -Bye.
Baby tooth certificate.
-Ugh, fine. -Really?
No! No!
But if all these underpants didn't work...
That's bail.
You two are free to go.
Yep, I'm now your new CEO.
And you still stop hammering on about Mildred!
Hostile takeover, baby.
You wanted them to boo?
Taco. Enchilada.
Ooh! Ooh!
You planned the stage fright all along.
Burrito. Taco.
Enchilada. Wand change.
I did plan for Ava to come on stage,
Burrito. Taco. Enchilada.
and rescue me from being booed.
But to be honest, the stage fright was real.
Oscar: That was the last one!
-Thanks, Susie! -Thanks, Susie!
What a meeting.
Oscar, Hedgehog, where you have you been?
Oscar! Is that you?
It's scary out there, Oscar.
Whatever, I'll see you guys at the next board meeting.
You both look so much older.
I didn't recognize you! You're a natural waiter.
But you can't let that stop you.
Wow, you can really tell?
I'll be announcing layoffs.
Ava just needed to get out of her head.
I lost my baby tooth. And I'm a lawyer.
Oscar: We did it! Full-sized crew towels.
And I need to get out of this huge pile of underpants!
Aww, merci beaucoup.
Oh. I meant because you both look so horrible.
That was fun.
See you later.
We should make earmuffs shaped like avocados next.
Here, just take it.
Hmph.
Seriously, please help me.
Who's Mildred?
What? What'd I say? What?
Eeny, meeny, miney, chocolate.
Uh...new law.
Hedgehog, I would never cross out your 2.
