[grunts in effort]
-[screams, grunts] -[snarling]
* *
-Hee-hee, ha-ha, ho-ho hee!
BOTH: Hee-hee, ha-ha, ho-ho hey!
Hee-hee-ho-ha-ha-hee-hee...
-What in the Big Bloop is going on out here?
[gasps] Oh no. They've been bitten by snickersnakes.
We gotta cover them in tar before they lose their minds!
-Ugga! Get the tar! -It's not snickersnakes.
The hee-hee berries are hee-hee ripe, so we sing the hee-hee song
-while we hee-hee pick them. -Why are you talking like that?
-Because I hee-hee have to. If I don't,
it hee-hee hurts Phil's feelings.
-[sighs] I hee-hee hate it. -Well, I hee-hee love it!
-Hee-hee-ho-ha-ha-hee-hee- ho-ha-ha! -[sighs] Hee-hee help.
ALL: Hee-hee-ho-ha-ha!
Hee-hee-ho-ha-ha-hee- ho-hee-hee-ho!
Ha-ha-hee-ho-ho!
-Ha-ha-hee-ho! -[knocking]
-What is this hammer-head horseplay?
-We're picking hee-hee berries, Mom. Wanna come?
-Hit the sticks or get hit with a stick! -Ah! Ah!
ALL: Hee-hee-ho-ha-ha-hee-hee...
-[creaking] -Do we have to do it in the elevator?
-Yes! -ALL: Hee-hee-ho-ha!
-Ha-ha-hee-ha! -[growling]
Hee-hee-ho-ha!
-Ha-hee-hey! -[gasps]
PHIL: Gone?
The hee-hee berries are gone!
[sobbing]
-Hee-hee-ho?
-Hee-hee-no!
-* Let's live wild, the world's our own *
* We built this wheel now it's gunna roll *
* You know a spark becomes a fire wherever we go *
* Whoa-ho-ho *
* Stuck together, stuck, stuck together *
* It's an evolution for worse or for better *
* To find some unity *
* For all humanity *
* Because we're stuck together *
* In one big family tree *
-What hee-hee happened here?
-Punch monkeys! That's what hee-hee happened.
-[chomp] Hm...
And they can't be far away because they just left.
-We know that, Grug, because we just saw them leave.
-Also, you can tell when an animal left by tasting the dirt?
-No. Why? [chomp]
-Uh... -PHIL: Well,
there's only one way to avenge this hee-hee heist.
We need to hee-hee hit them where it hee-hee hurts!
-Yeah! Let's bring the hee-hee heat to the punch monkeys!
-And drop the hee-hee hammer on them! -Ah!
-Can we please stop saying "hee-hee"
since the hee-hee berries are gone?
-Very well, but we're still going to make
the punch monkeys pay for this transgression.
-And then what? -And then what, what?
-Well, that's what we did when the punch monkeys
took our bounceberries, right?
-And when they took our chickenseal eggs.
-And our pies.
You deserved better, pies...
-And when they broke mirror-window!
Wait. No. That was me.
Hey, Phil, can you fix mirror-window?
-The point is counterattacking the punch monkeys
is what we alwaysdo.
But it hasn't solved the problem,
so we need to try a new approach.
-Good thinking. I'll get the tar.
-No, no tar.
I've got a better idea.
EEP: Uh, I don't get it.
The punch monkeys took our food.
So now, we're bringing them more food to punish them?
-Yes, because this food is poisoned.
Well played, Ugga. I underestimated you.
-The food isn't poisoned.
-Right... Plausible deniability. Smart.
-No, it's not poisoned.
-Incredibly spicy?
-No. -Too much salt?
-They're just delicious pies
because we're bringing them a peace offering.
-Pies? Why did it have to be pies?
-Because they like pies. -So do I!
-I think it's a nice gesture. I mean, who doesn't like getting pies?
-But can pies bridge this divide? -UGGA: No.
The pies are just a way to start a conversation.
-Ha! And what will you say, Ugga?
You speak Punch Monkey like Grug eats bananas!
Without success.
-Aw, banana bad.
-I don't need to speak Punch Monkey, Phil. Guy does.
-True, but that doesn't mean they'll listen to me any more than Thunk
is listening to us right now. Isn't that right, Thunk?
-Thunk? -Autumn is my favorite time of year.
-I think it's a great idea! -You do?
-Sure! It's a perfect distraction for a sneak attack.
While you're smackin' your gums,
-I'll be crackin' their skulls! -That's the spirit!
-That's not why we're doing this.
-Yeah! We're doing this to mess with their heads!
-No! We're doing this to be friendly
-because friends don't steal from each other. -PHIL: You make a valid point.
I mean, we're all friends, and we don't steal from each other.
Wait! Where did my banana go?
-Is that my banana?! -What banana?
PHIL: Hm?
-Aw! Banana sad!
-Well, I don't think this will work,
but we've tried everything else, so what do we have to lose?
-Oh, I don't know. The rest of our food, the farm, our lives...
-Thanks for the help, Guy.
[all shuddering, groaning]
THUNK: Whoa! What is this place?
EEP: It's Punch Monkey Village.
-What? Why are we here?
-Thunk, were you not listening when we discussed our plan?
-Isn't that right, Thunk? Thunk?
-THUNK: Oh no! Someone just said my name! -Say something, Thunk!
Something smooth so they'll never know you weren't listening.
Autumn is my favorite time of year.
Ha-ha, they bought it!
-Thunk. -Oh, no!
I- I definitely heard the plan, Mom,
but what do youthink the plan was?
She bought it!
-This place gives me the creeps.
-Why? Is it the bad memories? Or all the bones?
Or the fact that there's only one way out?
-Thanks, Guy-boy. Now I have more reasons.
-Maybe it's all the punch monkeys watching us.
They've had their beady little eyes on us
since we breached the perimeter.
-[growls] -HOPE: You know what?
Now that we're here, I think we should turn around and go home.
-[squawking] -Why? Is it the dread in the air?
The possibility that you may never leave this place?
Orthe realization that we've wandered into hostile territory
-without an invitation or protection? -Guy!
-You're right. I'll stop doing that.
-I hate to say it, but Guy's right. We should go.
-I hate to say it, but Grug's right. We should go.
-I hate to say it, but we can't go.
[punch monkeys chatter, growl]
-He's asking who speaks for us.
-Well, this was Ugga's idea, so...
-I'll speak. Guy, you translate.
[punch monkeys chattering, squeaking]
We know you took the hee-hee berries,
but that's water under the bridge.
We are here to make peace.
and as a gesture of goodwill,
we brought you these pies.
-Why pies?! Why?! -My pies! My!
[squeaks]
UGGA: Oh!
BOTH: Bye, pie, bye.
-That feels like a "no" on peace.
-Indeed, which means we're in trouble. -[shrieking]
-It's a good thing I like trouble.
-Yeah, this is my kind of peace talk.
As in someone ends up in pieces!
Time to finish this once and for all.
-No, no, no.
We have to stick to the plan or this will never end.
-Bah! We gave your way a chance.
Now, we're doing this myway!
-So, I guess it's my way or the pie way, huh?
-Aw! -[monkeys chattering]
* *
-Whoa. Who is that?
-And where did she get that amazing staff?
-Guy, ask her. -Alright.
[growling, grunting]
She's their queen, and she wants to know why we're here. [grunts]
-Tell her we want our stuff back!
-Starting with the hee-hee berries! -EEP: Or maybe,
you two learn how to speak
this rich and mysterious language and tell her yourself!
-Guy, can you tell her we're here to end our feud
and make peace?
[growls]
[grunting]
[laughing]
-[Queen roaring] -[all shriek]
[grunting]
What did she say? Is it bad? Say something, Guy-boy!
-She said if we really want peace,
we can prove it by experiencing how punch monkeys live.
So, she invited us to stay here to learn the way of the punch.
[punch monkeys shrieking]
DAWN: Oh no, they're fighting!
Look what we did! We're monsters!
-Actually, they're just talking, but easy mistake 'cause punch monkeys.
Those punch monkeys are saying they think this is a bad idea. But the queen is saying,
"As your leader, I feel this is the best move for all of us as a community."
"And now that punch monkey is saying
"that while they may not agree with the queen,
they respect her authority."
-And now I'm saying this is a terrible idea.
-Come on, guys. This is a huge breakthrough!
Let's live like punch monkeys.
-HOPE: [grumbles] Fine. -Thunk?
-Spring is also a lovely time of year.
-Nice, me. You are killing it. -[grunts]
-May I [grunts] please borrow [grunts] your coconut [grunts]?
[chirping]
-[clapping, cheering] -GUY: She's good!
-Coconut is not an easy word. [laughs] -That wasn't so hard.
And the first step in getting along is communicating. Dawn?
-You're next. -Ooh!
I don't know.
I just don't feel right about punching them.
-That's how they talk, Dawn. They wantyou to punch them.
-Really? Uh, okay.
-May I [weak grunt] please borrow
[weak grunt] your coconut? [weak grunt]
-[confused chirp] -Why isn't he giving me the coconut?
-He can't hear you. You have to speak up.
-Okay. Gimme the coconut! -[squawks]
-He heard that.
-Hey! It worked! -[screeching]
[slow motion]: No!
[growling]
[shrieking]
[grunts]
Well, that was really nice of her.
-But not so nice of the other monkeys.
Not exactly feeling the punch-love, Mom.
-Just give it time, Eep.
We're in this for the long punch.
* *
-This is Punchicus, the first punch monkey.
Oh! According to legend [grunts]
he was cornered by ramacondas [grunts]
facing certain death.
Oh! But instead of giving up-- Oh!
He punched his way to freedom. [grunts]
So began the way of the punch. Oh!
-Punch monkeys fight ramacondas, too.
Isn't that interesting, Mom?
-Not even a little! Animals fight other animals.
Welcome to the jungle, baby.
-Oh! Punchicus is revered as a hero
[grunts] by all punch monkeys [grunts]
who leave tribute before this sacred statue
to honor his memory [grunts] each and every day.
-Cool statue.
-Whoa! -[monkey shrieks]
Uh... how'd that happen?
-[shrieking] -GUY: Uh...
-That was weird, right?
-Guy, tell them Grug is sorry.
-[grunts] Ah!
They don't accept the apology.
[shrieking]
[growls]
-Okay. Who's next? Guys,
how can we be friends with the punch monkeys if we can't communicate?
-[quietly] Maybe we don't wanna be friends.
-What's that, Grug? You wanna learn to speak Punch Monkey?
-Great. -What? I don't remember saying that!
-Guy, how long did it take you to learn Punch Monkey?
-Well, the longer you take, the more you get punched.
So, not too long. [panting]
Okay, this is how you say "banana."
-Banana?! Yes! That's my kind of punch word!
Go on, monkey. Give me your best banana blow.
[wheezing] Oh! Okay, got it.
Ooh! I said I got it!
-[shrieks] -[grunts] Banana! [grunts] Banana!
I got it! Why is this guy punching me?
-I guess they really want you to learn how to say banana.
-Yeah, this isn't about bananas.
It's about payback for the statue.
-[monkeys chattering] -[Grug grunting]
-Great! Now, I hate bananas!
* *
[growling, sniffing]
-Well, this is uncomfortable. -It's not that bad.
I mean, pillows would be nice or softer rocks.
-Sure! So we can all drift off
to Snoozy Meadows, and then...
Bam! Those monkeys let the fist flurry fly!
-No, Mom. This is a ceremonial punch performance.
It's a rare honor never before shared with outsiders,
so let's all be quiet and respectful, please.
-They said it was a performance
because if they said it was a trap,
it wouldn't be a trap!
-Gran! We're supposed to be quiet.
-[screech] -Ooh! Why are you shushing me?
She's the one who's talking. Huh?
-[shrieking] -[musical drumming]
-See? They're gonna tie us up with those vines!
Told you it was a trap! Not today, fur-fists!
* *
[shrieking]
[shrieking continues]
-It's graceful. It's hypnotic.
It's punch poetry.
-It's confusing.
Who's the good guy and who's the bad guy?
-[quietly] Guys, keep it down.
We're trying to build a bridge, not blow it up.
-[shriek] -Ah! Why are you shushing me?!
-She's the one who's talking! [grunting] -[shrieking]
-It's even better on this bone window I found!
-[shriek] -No! Bone window!
[growls]
-Ooh! -[Queen grumbles]
Oh! Thank you.
[grumbles]
-[growls] -Okay, Gran. He's going to ask you
-if you'd care to dance. -[squeaking]
-He can try, but he's not going to like the answer.
-Mom, for the last time, these aren't fight-punches.
These are talk-punches.
-Talk-punches, huh? In that case, I got a lot to say...
-You know what? Maybe that's enough for today.
-Looks like you got off easy, Eyeballs,
but I'll be watching.
[both growl]
[both yell]
[monkeys shrieking]
* *
-I'm not doing that. -Come on! It'll be fun!
It's the way of the punch!
-I wish they'd learn the way of the napkin.
-If we want to build a friendship, we need to play ball... with dinner.
[chomp] Mm! See? Mm, it's good.
-Ugga, in case you've forgotten,
I'm a civilized human being.
I live in a tree house. Where are the forks and the spoons
and the plates? Only animals eat like this!
-[chomp] I love eating like this!
Bring the heat, Thunk!
-[grunts] Oh, how delightful.
-Sorry. Still working on my dinner aim.
-Dinner time, Dawn! -Eat this, Eep!
-Dawn, we don't play with our food, so stop before someone gets--
-[screams] -THUNK: Oh! Sorry, Hope.
My papaynapple pitching needs work.
-Oh, it does? In that case, let me show you how it's done!
-[thud] -[Hope gasps]
[shrieking]
Phil... do something!
-Of course, dear. You are my everything.
I would do anything to protect you!
You'll have to go through me to get to her!
And I'm going to hide,
-so good luck finding me! -[growls]
[snarling]
[shrieks]
[growling]
[shrieking]
-Why is this so hard for everyone?
If we don't find a way to get along, this will never end.
They'll keep stealing from us, and we'll keep attacking them.
And it'll just keep going and going and going. Is that what you want?
-No. What I want is to go home.
-As do I. I'm afraid this attempt
to overcome our differences
was doomed before it started.
Because we'rehumans, and they'repunch monkeys.
-I hate to agree with Phil.
-You hate to agree with Phil, but... -No but. That's it.
-[sighs] Fine. We can go home.
-Really? Yes!
-Sure. Just as soon as you all grow up
and find a way to make peace with the punch monkeys.
-Now, let's go get some sleep! -[Sandy snarls]
PHIL: So, it seems punch monkeys simply sleep
wherever they land, without a care for comfort.
-Or a bed. I need a bed to sleep.
-Until we found the farm,
we went our whole lives without beds and slept fine.
-Yeah, but I just got used to sleeping in a bed.
This is too much sleep change for me.
-Maybe the rocks will soften up if we're nice to them? Nice rock.
-As long as they have a couch here, I'm good.
-Pretty sure they don't have couches.
-Ah! Really need to work on turning myself into a couch.
-You gotta have dreams, T-bone.
-If you think I'm going to close my eyes
around these punchy pirates,
you're as twisted as they are!
-All I'm hearing is complaining. None of you are trying.
So, sleep on a rock or on the ground or on each other.
I don't care! But, I'm done! Goodnight!
-[panting] -[Thunk snores]
[monkeys snoring]
* *
[sighs] Maybe this was a mistake.
Maybe humans and punch monkeys can't get along.
Maybe we shouldgo home.
And maybe I should stop talking to myself.
Whoa! Ah! [gasps]
[grunting]
Oh! Wow, that was close! You saved my life.
-Thank you. -[growls]
Oh, right. You have no idea what I'm saying.
[grunting]
[snorts]
Why can't [grunts]
we make [grunts] peace? [grunts]
Oh, sorry. I meant peace. [grunts]
[grunting]
Okay, yeah, I think you're saying, um,
punch monkeys [grunts] and humans
are just different. [grunts]
From the start, we didn't get along. [grunts]
But that doesn't mean we can't get along.
But how? We don't trust you,
and you don't trust us. It's hopeless.
-[growling] -As Punchicus said, "Nothing is hopeless.
[grunts] You can overcome anything..."
[grunts] uh-huh, "if you keep punching. [grunts]
That's the way of the punch."
So tomorrow, we punch again?
[growling]
By harvesting coconuts [grunts] together.
So, cooperating to get something we all want.
That makes sense. [grunts]
-Coconuts. That's what I said. [grunts] -[growls]
Yes! Coconuts!
[grunts]
Oh! Ha-ho nuts.
[laughs] Still getting the hang of punch talk.
Are those like coconuts? [grunts]
Better than coconuts? And better than hee-hee berries? [laughs]
Sold! Let's do this. [grunts]
[snoring]
[whimpering]
Good morning, everyone.
[all yelling]
-[groans] Grug! Get off of us,
you heaping slug-opotomus!
-[stretches] It's like I slept on a rock.
Because I slept on a rock.
[groaning]
-Still better than sleeping on a bunch of bones.
-Ah!
-We've got a big day ahead of us.
Now, I know none of you wanna be here, but--
-No, Mom. We talked about what you said,
and we agreed you were right. We need to try harder.
-Something's got to change, and that something is us.
-[sighs] And I guess it wouldn't be the worst thing that ever happened
if I figured out how to make peace with the punch monkeys.
-That's the spirit! I'm going to be so friendly,
those punch monkeys are gonna wish they never met me!
-Thanks, guys. This is for the best. For everyone.
Now, let's go harvest some ha-ho nuts!
-Ha-ho-whats?
-Ha-ho nuts are a staple of the punch monkey diet,
and they were nice enough to invite us to their ha-ho harvest.
And, apparently, they're even better than hee-hee berries.
-Ha-ho-hold on! Better than hee-hee berries?
-I am in! -[Phil gasps]
-Do you ha-ho-know what this means?
-Ha-ho-no.
-It means we can sing the hee-hee song!
But with less hee-hee and more ha-ho!
Ha-ho! Ha-ho! Ha--
-No! We are notdoing that!
-[monkeys chattering] -[growls]
-She says the ha-ho nuts are at the top of the trees.
But you probably didn't need me to tell you that 'cause the pointing.
-No, Guy. We didn't.
Actually, I did. Thanks.
-What are we waiting for?!
Let's ho-ho-go!
-[annoyed grumble] -Sorry. Let's go!
[Phil humming]
-No. We're doing this withthe punch monkeys.
Together. Because that's the way of the punch.
And that'show we make peace.
[growls]
-Now, dear, the trick to climbing trees is don't let go.
-[shrieks] -Ah! You're stepping on my face! Ugh!
I thought monkeys knew how to climb.
Now, watch and learn.
-Phil! You're stepping on myface!
-Honest mistake, dear.
I'll just move my foot over here. Mm?
-[shrieking] -Ah!
-[Hope and Phil yelling] -[crash]
-Ah, this tree's a lot shorter than it looked from the ground.
[straining] Oh no! I'm losing my grip! [grunts]
[shrieks]
Sorry!
-Right behind you. -[panting]
Who am I kidding? This was over before it started.
[grunting]
-We're doing it! We're doing it!
-But they're doing that!
[all grunting, yelling]
[crash]
Three of us with one nut! Not bad!
-I've fallen out of enough trees to...
forget what I was gonna say. Time to head home!
-Please, everyone! We just have to keep punching.
I mean climbing! This isn't over yet!
Wait! Look! Sandy
and that kid punch monkey are doing it!
-[grunts] -What did she say?
-She said humans are delicious with the right sauce.
ALL: What?!
-Hold on. I got that wrong.
What she really said was she's never seen a human
-climb like that. -[growls]
Hey! I speak Punch Monkey!
[both chattering]
[chirps]
ALL: Aw.
-[Queen growls] -[Ugga laughs]
-You know, if those two kids can come together and be friends,
-I think the rest of us can-- Oh no! -[hawk screeches]
[screech]
-[confused grunt] -Ah!
-[Sandy snarls] -[shriek]
[screaming]
[monkeys chattering]
-Don't worry. We'll bring your baby ho-ho-home.
-[monkey screaming] -[Eep screaming]
[growls]
-Drop that punch monkey!
-Yeah! Or we'll drop you!
-[zap] -[both gasp]
-Wrong choice, eelgle!
-All wrong! [grunts]
[screaming]
-Can't drop, won't drop!
-Woo! Woo-hoo! -[Sandy laughing]
-[Eep and Dawn laugh] -Woo!
-[grunting] -[monkeys cheer]
[all cheer]
[cheering stops]
-[monkeys chattering] -[grunts]
Hugs are a good thing in punch-talk, right?
GUY: [muffled] Mm. The best.
[laughing, chattering]
-Fine, but don't get used to it.
This is a one-time punch.
[quiet monkey chatter]
-Thank you for [grunts] welcoming us into your home [grunts]
and [grunts] teaching us the way of the [grunts] punch.
We have learned that [grunts] while we're different,
we don't have to be at [grunts] odds.
We just [grunts] have to keep punching.
It's the first step [grunts] toward turning enemies
[grunting] into friends. [grunts]
* *
[wheels squeaking]
-Hey! It's the hee-hee berries!
-And our bounceberries!
-And our chickenseal eggs!
-[gasps] And my pies!
-And our carts!
Oh...
So, wehave to push these carts
all the way back to the farm? Unacceptable!
UGGA: Hm...
* *
