Harold? Harold?!
- That's weird.
Harold has perfect attendance. I hope he's okay.
(Concerned chatter) Yeah, what happened to Harold?
- Ah, don't worry, kids.
Harold could be absent for all sorts of reasons.
He could be stuck in the bathroom...
- (Gasps, whimpers) - Fallen down a well.
Or kidnapped by the creepy things
that roam in the basement!

yes, I noticed Harold is...
Hold on. Did you say... chicken pox?!

Hello Chef, are you there?

- Nothing to worry about kids.
Everything's under control.
- The way he said that makes me think
everything's not under control.
(Spray spritzes, twinkles)
- We just have to take precautions
because chicken pox is very contagious.
But everybody just stay calm.

♪ Ta da da da!
- Cody's infected! Everybody panic!

We'll just keep Cody quarantined in my office

Agh! (Gulp)

- What? Some things are worth the risk--
Ohhhhhhh no.
Still worth it!!!!!
- What's chicken pox? - Isn't it obvious?
It's called chicken pox.
If you get the virus,
it gives you those itchy red bumps.
That's where the feathers poke through.
And before you know it, you're a chicken!
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo!
- (Frightened gasps) - Dude!
- Izzy, that is not a chicken.
- It is where I come from.
- So the chickens are behind the pox?
What've we ever done to those guys?

- I need more oatmeal, Chef!
- Owen, put the oatmeal compress on your skin.
Don't eat it!
- But my insides aren't itchy
and it's just so delicious!
- More back-scratcher over here please, Chef.
(Scratching sounds)
- Make it stop!!!!
- Get - offa - me!
(Gasps)
- Oh, no.
- This must be the place!
- You really think they're headquartered here?
- It's the last place I'd look for a chicken.
One that hasn't been deep fried, anyway.
Nerdy kid: Can I take your order?
- We're here to see the chicken high council!

What's the password, human?
- Um. (Thinking) Hm...
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo!

Take the elevator to the 4th floor.
(Elevator dings)
- You changed the password?
- Well, the old one was too hard.
Everyone kept forgetting it.
(Scratching sounds) - Eeeee!!!
Gwen: I've always wondered what's inside these buckets.
- Humans? In the royal bucket?
What is the meaning of this?!
(Buckawk)
Why, I have half a mind to turn you into a ten piece meal!
- Try me, lady.
I eat birds like you for breakfast.
Well, the ones in eggs, anyway.
- (Shocked gasps)
(Talking over each other)
- Stopppppp!
What are we doing, chicken dudes?
And... little girl dudes?
Sure, humans and chickens have been feuding for centuries...
- We have?
- But don't you know that hate only breeds more hate?
I bet, if we talked this out,
we'd find we have more in common than you think!
Because deep down,
aren't we all a little chicken sometimes?
(Clapping)
(All Clapping)
- Silence!
You speak eloquently, young human.
But why have you infiltrated our royal coop
if not with ill intent?
To be honest, yer majesty,
we were kinda hoping you'd ix-nay
the whole chicken pox thing?
- (Confused reactions)
- Pardon me?! I assure you, child,
we have nothing to do with these 'pox' of which you speak.
- But then why were you spying on us?
- Because you kids have become the biggest threat
to chicken-kind since the advent of the nugget!
(Concerned clucking)
- Strangely, we have had a lot of altercations
with chickens lately.
- Don't get me wrong.
We've done some evil stuff.
The market crash of '08. Corn relish. Rap-rock.
- Rap-rock?!? You monsters!!!
- But we chickens deeply resent
being associated with that awful, itchy disease.
The good news is that chicken pox
only lasts a few days in children.
Both: Phew!
- So this whole mission was pointless.
Much like life itself.
- Whoa. Dark.
Anyhoo, we've developed a lotion
to help with the itching.
It comes in three soothing flavours:
barbecue, ranch and blue cheese.
(Concerned clucking)
Blue cheese is the least popular.
Take the lotion and never speak of this meeting to anyone.
You do not want to cross the chickens.
(Buckawk!)
- Wow! Thanks!
- No! N-n-n-no! Yous gots the wrong guy!
I'ze just a dumb old cat!
Meowwwww! See?
No, no, no, not the batter!!!
- Okay, then, I guess we'll be on our way.
But wait, where's Jude?
- Buk buk bugawwwwwk...
- Whoa, Jude! You got it bad!
- Don't worry, girls. I've finally found my people.
I'm going to live here with the chickens... forever.
(Concerned clucking)
- But Jude! We just learned
chicken pox only lasts for a few--
- A-ta-ta-ta-ta... I've made my decision.
Buh-kay?
Owen: (Sounds of relief) ohohohoh...
This feels soooo good! (Fart)
- Owen, you're over the chicken pox,
you don't need the lotion anymore.
- I don't?!? Awesome!!!
(Slurping)
- (Retches)
- (Slurping)
- Mmm mmm! Those chickens are missing out!
- (Licks) Mmm-mmm!
- Boy, am I glad things are back to normal around here.
