make the rules
Yay! We're graduating!
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.
Hey, Grandma, don't you want a pic
with the smartest 'corn in the class?
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.
Wh-Whoa!
Is...time... of the essence?
Oh, thanks, Grandfather clock.
Hmm, yeah.
Aah! Ugh!
Hey, Ava, why are you getting rid of this stuff, again?
Hedgehog, this is beautiful.
What?
Thanks, Ava.
Okay! What'd I say?
Hey, Hedgehog, you done signing our yearbooks?
I'm spring cleaning!
-A grub made of sleeves! -A mutt full of fleas!
Guys, I've got to say,
Almost. It's just hard coming up with a different
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!
heartfelt message for every student.
Nope! I said...
Hey, Ava. How's the yard sale going?
Am I going to see you guys at graduation later?
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.
My boy here is the "key-nut" speaker.
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.
We wouldn't miss it. Well, make sure
you get there early
Oof!
because there is a limited amount of seats.
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!
Mail for Hedgehog!
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.
It's from Ramona! What does that powerful
sorceress want?
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.
Dear Hedgehog,
Where is it?
Lucy, that's a huge deal.
Oscar, let's see yours.
your first magic lesson is scheduled for today.
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.
Ah, bup-bup-bup-bup-bup! Don't make that face!
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.
I know you're worried about starting from scratch
and now, I can't play it without screaming.
Well, if I could, I'd make a towel
with Susie as your teacher.
Ooh, thanks!
I am. It'll be okay.
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.
Take this card and punch it
Hello, Susie.
Oscar! That's a great idea!
You have one reminder.
to -- to still have a baby tooth?
every time she gives you too much gruff.
But then, I started thinking about the audience,
Well, I think Oscar still has a baby molar.
-It is? -We should make those towels!
I'll hear all about it.
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.
What happens after the 10th punch?
Yeah, it would be cool. Too bad it's impossible.
What? Come look.
Did he say "yes"?
Maybe you get a free Susie --
He did?
Hello, Susie.
Then, I couldn't play the notes because I was too cold.
-Why? -Make something on your own?
the worst prize in the history of "camp-kind."
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.
Ugh! I don't want to start from the beginning.
Susie's intimate deets.
A citizen of what?
But the world doesn't have to be like that.
I had a wand. I can levitate, for grape's sake!
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.
Wait. You're doing the lesson today?
-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.
But we have to get to the graduation early to get seats!
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!
I'll get there in time for the ceremony.
This -- Last night.
you are a perfect, delicate princess.
Just save me a seat, okay?
Prove it.
And that was the end of my uncle.
You're beautiful and strong
Uh...
Save seats?
and the architect of your own awesomeness.
I wasn't finished!
Yeah. Show us.
You know this is the one thing I can't do for you, Hedgehog.
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.
Is this seat taken?
but what are you gonna do?
Get a move on.
It's not an inspirational story, Oscar.
Nope! It's all yours.
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!
My seat!
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.
Is this seat taken?
-I feel bad for Ava. -Me, too.
But if my uncle couldn't do it, no one can.
It's all yours.
Yeah, but don't worry. I bet it's one of those meetings
Oh!
We have to figure out a way
Ohhh.
My seat!
where the first hour is them just gabbing
to get Ava to play the violin again.
Alexa, I think you'll be pleasantly destroyed
Ah buh buh buh buh?
You know what? I'm so dumb.
and talking about their weekend and stuff.
Without screaming.
when we prove you wrong.
The one I'm sitting in?
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!
No. It's all yours.
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.
Your seat!
But what are you gonna do
I guess half this cookie belongs to you, Oscar.
Bah bah bah!
if she won't give you your wand back?
during a recital. Right?
Tortilla, towel.
Goo goo ga ga?
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.
I can't say no to them! I feel like I'm letting them down!
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.
They always look so tired of standing!
'cause it's hard to have stage fright
I don't think that's gonna work. But look at this ad.
I have to go to Susie's.
The sooner I get these lessons over with,
when the audience is all in their underpants.
Dirt.
Are you Oscar?
Heartforde Towel Company.
the sooner I can get my wand back.
You work on that, and I'll do my thing.
Yeah.
We make custom towels?
Just use something to save my seat.
Molar Mole.
All we have to do it send pics and tell them how many we want.
You got this.
I've got a report of one newly dislodged baby tooth
"Closed for meeting."
Well, if Hedgehog's gonna become a celebrated witch,
of the molar variety.
You're a genius, my Hedgehog.
I think it's closed, Hedgehog.
I'm gonna become a seat-saving wizard.
Huh? Ava?
Hand it here, please.
Uh...
Something's moving in there.
-Hi. -What are you doing up there?
Oscar! Time to wake up!
Courage, Hedgehog.
Look, it's unlocked.
Aah! I thought you were asleep!
Courage.
Spring cleaning. I'm repainting the place.
Why not?
No way! I'm just on low power mode
Hey, Susie! I'm here for my magic lesson.
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?
Yeah, looks like it's gonna rain.
Um, excuse me. Excuse me?
you molar-faking swine!
But don't you think it's time to change out of your swim trunks?
Come back in an hour, after it clears up.
What? There's not a single cloud in the sky.
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.
What about that?
Anything you say above ground
may be used against you underground.
That's a used tissue.
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.
Who is it?
Hedgehog, call my lawyer!
Oh! I changed the order to 4.
Hedgehog. It's been an hour. I'm here for my lesson.
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.
Your hands are freezing! You can't do magic
with cold hands.
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.
You could blow a knuckle.
If you'd like to return tomorrow,
Hedgehog, I would never cross out your 2.
Do some hand warm-ups and come back in an hour.
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.
No one told me I need hot hands.
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.
Okay, I got hot hands. I'm ready.
Yeah, unh-unh! Not so fast.
Inside!
Well, I already booked the hall.
Oh, no.
This fabric doesn't breathe. Wear something more comfortable.
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."
Too comfortable!
Did you already put down a non-refundable deposit?
from snotting all over
Can we return them and start over?
You're too cheerful. Go read a sad book.
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, dear. You look thirsty.
Oh, really? Well, I'll have you know
I'll tell you what -- you paint my house,
finest lawyer in all Metropmolis!
Go get yourself hydrated.
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.
You look tired. Go take a nap.
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.
Okay, I did everything you asked.
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
Can we start?
Because we're responsible! Bah!
Oh. But you can
borrow my law book.
Ha ha ha! Kid, what's wrong with you?
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!
You look absolutely ridiculous.
Those are for serious non-babies.
Go change, and I'll pick you up from your cabin.
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 look ridiculous, Hedgehog.
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,
Your hands are too cold, Hedgehog."
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.
Who does she think she is?
That's right,
I'm a grownup!
Click!
You have crossed a line, Susie.
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!
Get ready to be punched.
-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.
Hole Punch Number 1 reporting for duty.
Ava and I had nice tea together before that rehearsal.
Oh, hey, Hole Punch. Are you here to punish Susie?
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?
Nah, I'm just gonna tell on her to Ramona.
I think I know just the thing.
Law number one, the judge is always right.
It looks just like a burrito!
She is being pretty mean to you.
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!
Thank you! Finally, someone who understands.
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.
Okay, bye!
Well, this is a lot to learn.
They're not for eating.
I'm saving this seat. My friend owns this seat.
No, we mostly stayed in.
We'd better -- Trial's starting.
This is super cute,
It's actually illegal for you to sit down.
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.
I'm saving this seat. My friend owns this seat.
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.
Mortimer: Hey, Oscar!
My friend owns this seat!
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.
What? No, I just wanted to let you know that graduation
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.
isn't starting for like three hours.
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.
Oh. Okay. Thanks.
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.
We did it, Hedgehog.
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.
Hedgehog!
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?
For your first lesson, you'll organize
A wand I saw Hedgehog using?
Did you try...
Last week was all Tuesdays?
every pine needle on the floor into height order,
First, you gotta put your clothes back on, Osk.
Eeny, meeny, miney, chocolate.
Yeah, we had a candy slide and, uh...
underpants?
clean out the sap from the tree's air holes,
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?
and wash every leaf.
in their underpants fixes stage fright.
No, Oscar, these moles are imbeciles.
where hand towels matter the most.
Ah-choo!
Uh, you can start now.
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.
When am I gonna learn magic?
Counselor, if you please.
What?! Oh!
But we don't wear underpants.
Kids! What do you want?
Kid, this is learning magic. Now, out of my way!
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.
These nails aren't going to paint themselves.
-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 --
Ahh! Gross.
Hmm.
During this trial, I intend to demonstrate
Alright, let me just stop you right there.
Hey! It's natural.
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.
Hey, make sure those curlers are tight.
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.
Uh! That's it!
I'll do yours, Hedgehog.
while standing on one leg.
Oh, hey, Hedgehog.
Uh, Hedgehog?
Well, a deal's a deal.
Law 751.
Let's start with a simple classic.
I didn't think I'd be punched again so soon.
Oh. Sorry.
Hedgehog, what's this?
What's up? I'm so glad you're here.
As I was saying --
I'm designing a rudimentary siege engine, a tank of sorts.
Stop! Law 87.
Take it away, Hedgehog!
Susie's the worst, right? Tell Ramona everything.
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.
Uh, sure.
Aah!
Okay.
Every day, we wash those dirty, dirty hands.
I-I'll go tell her right now.
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?
Phew! Done.
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.
Leaves washed, holes cleaned, pine needles and cones sorted.
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.
Done!
Wow. You're fast.
Your plan?
Mm, maybe this one?
Ava says you need to play a little faster.
It's about courtrooms being hippopotamuses on holidays
Too fast. What?
Props. Props?
And you think to yourself...
You forgot to dry the leaves. See?
Elaborate props.
How did she seem? Like, a little calmer?
if the defendant is over 10 years of age.
...gosh I love tortillas!
They're all crusty.
Ooh-boo-boo. Thank you,
Saxophone.
Ugh! I'm not getting paid for this.
Well, that leaves you out, you big baby.
What?! What?!
You better do it over.
Now, who's next?
Fine. Tell her "okay."
Lucy?!
Well, now, you can reach for one of these!
Yes! Are you kidding me?
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.
I'm trying to be a witch, not a forest janitor.
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
Hedgehog, the best witches are forest janitors.
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.
Wha?
100 inches.
that you teased Oscar, and excluded him from the group,
Now, clean it again, but this time with some TLC.
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.
That's "tree leaves cleaned." Mleh!
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?
Both: Whoa. Two at once? That's a little harsh, no?
And this is yeti yarn!
But...
Let's knit some underpants!
Everyone said she's so smart, so much potential,
She's just trying to teach you -- Oh!
-Underpants! -Yay!
Lucy, what are you doing?!
They're gonna put me in jail!
We can't even sell one hand towel.
Dumb Susie.
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.
Sorry. This seat's taken.
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.
Excuse me, is -- Sorry!
This seat's taken.
Ha!
Oh, we're all about truth, now, huh, cookie boy?
Oh, no.
-Whoops! -Oof!
Whatever. I don't care anyway.
Stop! Bailiff, get her out of here!
Hmm!
See those holes, there?
Uhh. Aah!
Oh, right.
-Puddle, are you okay? -Puddle, are you okay?
Susie: But she never learned to use her powers responsibly.
I'm so sorry, you guys, but this seat is so taken!
I'm fine! And I didn't spill my bubble water
And when confronted about it,
No.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
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.
Ah! I'm getting kind of good at this.
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!
Excuse me.
Allow me to demonstrate how to step into underpants!
but rather, there'll be, um, lunch break instead.
This is a superb body towel.
Muh hoo?
I'm sorry. This seat's taken.
Oh, goodness! My hat!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Very absorbent.
Aah!
Actually it's a hand --
Please! I promised Hedgehog I'd save her seat.
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?
Take my tater tots. They're all I gots.
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.
Okay, it's all cleaned
and dried.
One law. One law.
Bye!
Hedgehog?
What? All-you-can-eat pies?! Oh.
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.
Hmm.
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!
Not bad, not bad.
Nope. I don't get stage fright.
Oh, wait. Hold up.
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.
You forgot the pits.
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.
Looks like you'll have to do it over one more time.
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?
You know what they say, though -- third time
you fail stinks the most.
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
Darn you, Susie!
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...
Hey! Don't talk to your teacher like that.
No can do. I don't know how to tell time.
But it's cool you don't have stage fright.
You're no teacher.
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
You're just messing with me because you don't actually
Exquisite.
Huh.
that's taken the palace by storm.
want me to learn magic.
Stop! Why is Oscar putting on this foolish act?
That's why you took my wand.
I'll admit, it's not bad.
The King: Hey, friends.
That's why you're making me do fake work.
What are we doing, again?
Are you on the beach crying because you're not a burrito?
'Cause Hedgehog told me to.
You want me to give up so there's not another witch.
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.
That's adorable. You think I'm threatened by you?
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.
This is how witches have trained for thousands of years,
Tss -- I mean, to the meeting.
Wait, why are you practicing?
-Easy! -Tortilla towel!
Correct?
Hodgepodge.
I am French.
An enchilada? Nothing simpler.
Oh, my plan changed. I'm doing the recital.
Yes. And...?
It requires patience,
I don't speak French.
Tortilla towel!
and patience is key to being a good witch.
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?
When do you ever have to be patient?
Gosh, I didn't know.
Explain yourself.
-Tortilla towel! -Whee!
You just magic your way out of everything.
-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.
Duh! Because I can.
Can you just bring Ava on stage when you're done?
The King: Buy Oscar and Hedgehog's tortilla towel.
That's the difference between you and me --
We can't afford to be afraid of things
As you know, the first law of Metropmolis is
By royal decree.
I actually have skill.
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?
I have skill!
So, you were right when you said that Oscar is not a fool.
Huh?
Oh, yeah? Let's see it.
Allô, mon chéris.
Look, Puddle told the entire alien world about our towels.
But, and I'm sure the stenographer will concur,
Zebras bubble gum pants for goats,
I, 'ow you say, thought you might be 'ungry
Uh... sounds good!
We sold 15,000 of them!
it's time for us to float!
the second thing you said when we entered the courtroom was...
for a petite sa-lad.
Alien News here.
Look! A shooting star!
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.
Dear shooting star, please bring Hedgehog back soon. Love, Oscar.
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,
Aah!
It's Hedgehog dressed as a sa-lad.
and then we can make 2 towels for us!
-Yeah! Hedgehog! -Hedgehog!
Ta-da.
Uh...
Wait! I've worked so hard for that wand!
That's how business works.
Aah!
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.
What happened?
See? What'd I tell you? Angry salad.
That was a truly fine display of Mole Lawyering.
that I placed 2 minutes ago?
You went too fast to have proper form, and you lost control.
This is exactly the type of stuff Mildred would do.
Doing great, sweetie.
I want my towel!
Para...solis!
Yeah, I'll say. That's the smartest thing you've done
Mildred couldn't wait.
Pajamas: Customer service.
Aah!
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.
What else you got, genius?
Sir! That's a very rude thing to say.
Monsters, put on your underpants!
Are you mad at me?
Uh...
But you have to learn like everybody else!
Hedgehog? Um, okay.
This!
Speak to the management?
Wait. Don't!
Thank you.
Well, I'm gonna go poke around out there.
Maybe you should speak to anger management!
All: Uh-oh. Susie's gonna get it.
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?
Susie!
Uh, 14.
See? I told you, Ramona.
No! Reconsider, Susie!
Why is she getting stuck here?
What?
I found this dental mirror,
Nice! Gonna grab some snackberries
Hedgehog's too impatient to learn magic.
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.
I tried. I did the tree cleaning thing.
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!
Yes, but you didn't explain why it's so important.
Plus, I got the key to your cell.
If we don't go to the bathroom, sleep, or eat,
Wha-- How?!
You're just punishing her for having potential.
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!
Now, you know what happens after 10 punches.
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.
But...
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?
Ugh!
Let's go.
Earnesto encouragemento.
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?
Hedgehog, I want you to know
Ava, you played something without screaming.
that I think you're an amazing talent.
Lovely. Thank you, Butter Goth.
I did? I did!
Root beer time at last.
Hedgehog, having a job is making me sad.
In fact, you're better than I was at your age.
I was so worried about you
Pointed-hat lady!
Susie, can you see me? A-Am I coming through?
So, if you keep working hard,
I didn't even think about my stage fright.
Now you're attempting a criminal escape?!
The customer is always mean.
I think you're gonna be a great witch.
Nope, can't see you. You're in frozen time,
And I really mean that.
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!
Oh, I feel sick.
Coming out of retirement, MoMo?
Obsessed with being embarrassed
because I was the late baby in my pottery group.
Aah! Uh, what now?
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.
Figure it out. Remember what you did all day?
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.
Yeah, I cleaned the tree a thousand times and
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!
collected raw materials for building a rescue device!
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.
Well, look who's learning. Treeweavis lifenetticus.
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!
I-I should've remembered.
No! No!
since you've been otherwise occupied
They're not shorts. They're underpants.
These certain tree parts are the base ingredients
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,
in this area of magic.
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!
See, the first step is knowing your tools.
Rose water soda, my treat!
Then, when you're good like me,
But Hedgehog will continue to learn magic.
Hand it here, please.
Ship these towels faster! -Help us, then.
you get to improvise fancy spells with them.
What? Okay.
It's been fun, Oscar. I'll see you later.
The sooner we're done, the sooner they're gone.
But why did the leaves have to be washed?
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.
To boost their confidence.
You two are free to go.
Yep, I'm now your new CEO.
The self-esteem makes them strong.
And you still stop hammering on about Mildred!
Hostile takeover, baby.
I guess you really are teaching me magic.
You wanted them to boo?
Taco. Enchilada.
Ooh! Ooh!
You planned the stage fright all along.
Burrito. Taco.
Duh.
Enchilada. Wand change.
I did plan for Ava to come on stage,
I'm sorry! This seat is taken! It belongs to Hedgehog.
Burrito. Taco. Enchilada.
and rescue me from being booed.
But to be honest, the stage fright was real.
Sorry. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Thanks.
Oscar: That was the last one!
-Thanks, Susie! -Thanks, Susie!
What a meeting.
Oscar, Hedgehog, where you have you been?
Hedgehog, you made it! Of course.
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 would never miss acorn graduation.
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.
It's the biggest day of their lives.
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.
All: Whoo-hoo! We did it!
See you later.
We should make earmuffs shaped like avocados next.
Here, just take it.
Yay! Chase your dreams, little acorns.
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.
Take my tater tots. They're all I gots.
