[Chase] Attention, recruits.

Once you have freed the stranded vehicles,

join Medix at the bridge to assist in directing traffic.

Affirmative, Professor Chase. Directing traffic?

Medix must be having the time of his life.

-Bridge closed! -[tires screech]

Turn back or take alternative route.

[horn honks]

Pay attention, citizen!

Driving is serious business.

We were supposed to help you,

but it looks like there's nothing left for us to do.

When one follows protocol,

the job is quickly accomplished.

And now we are free to assist Hot sh*t and Whirl!

Look, Hot sh*t! New record!

Most Snow Primes ever! Ha ha!

Only five seconds left!

Can Hot sh*t win the game?

Four, three...

Oof!

-What in the name of-- -Okay!

-If that's how you want it! -Ha ha!

-Incoming! -Hang on, Hot sh*t!

-I'll save you! -Stop!

Professor Chase hasn't dismissed us yet.

Which means we're still on duty.

So-- Oof! Oof!

Enough!

Rescue work is serious business.

[Medix] There's no time for snow play.

[muffled] But we already took care of the emergency.

There's nothing wrong with having some fun

-after the job's done. -Yeah!

You just need to get a sense of humor, Medix.

[Chase] Attention recruits. You are now relieved of duty,

and can return to headquarters.

Now you can officially have fun!

-Huzzah! -Too late.

[sigh]

Do you always have to be such a stick in the mud?

Pssst, Whirl.

Hey Medix! Oh! Are we playing hide and seek?

Can you explain why everyone is upset with me?

I would think being a stick in the mud is a good thing.

To let you know how deep the puddle is, for example.

It's just a saying humans have.

It means someone who ruins a good time for everyone else.

-By using a stick? -What? No.

So it's the mud that stops the fun? Now I see.

What I'm trying to say is, maybe it wouldn't hurt to try

what Wedge said. Loosen up!

Laugh a little more. Just-- have fun!

Loosen up. Hmmm.

I'm not sure how this leads to having fun, but...

-Medix, are you ill? -Oh!

Uh, no sir, I was-- I was attempting to--

"loosen up."

It was a suggestion from my fellow recruits.

They think I need to learn to--

"Have fun?" Ah, yes.

I understand exactly.

You would not think it to look at me now, but in the past,

I too was accused of being a muddy stick.

-You? -But in time,

with help from Cody, I learned how to loosen up,

tell jokes, and win friends.

Professor Chase...

Is it too much to ask if--

I would be happy to help. I'm confident that in no time,

you too can be the life of the party.

We'll start with the basics.

I have found that when someone is having "fun,"

they usually laugh.

So, the opposite is true as well.

If we laugh, the fun will come.

-Ha. Ha ha ha. -Ha ha ha!

-Ha ha ha! -Ha ha ha ha.

-[Chase] Ah ha ha! Ah ha ha! -[Medix] Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.

Hmm, perhaps that wasn't basic enough.

A few elementary lessons in comedy may prove fruitful.

My studies show that what humans find funniest of all--

other than odd bodily noises-- is this:

-A pratfall. -[thud]

[gasp] That's horrible!

[Chase] Don't worry, he is not hurt,

and only pretending to fall to make others laugh.

Odd behavior, I know.

But humans find it to be of high comic value.

I have asked Tough Luck Chuck to help show you

the many types of pratfall.

[Goofy music playing]

[thud]

[thud]

Next. How to relax.

Is there something wrong with your back, sir?

Not at all. I am being what humans call "cool."

[Chase] I am in fact so cool,

that I refuse to sit up straight. You try!

[effort grunts] How is this?

Excellent. You may also try noises

that show you are not serious about anything.

Observe. [clears throat]

Aaayyyyy.

Alright alright alriiiight!

-Oobily shoobily! -Fascinating.

Props can also help one become the life of the party.

Juggling balls...

A lampshade, for your head...

And the sure-fire-laugh, seltzer bottle finish.

Let me demonstrate. Chuck!

[spritz]

Hmmm. I still don't find it funny.

But I see how others might.

Like, the snowball fight!

I believe you're catching on.

Thank you, Professor Chase.

-Aaayyyyy. -Good!

Go now, and be humorous!

There we were, right in the middle of the meteor storm,

our ship hit on all sides!

We didn't know what was coming next--

Hello everyone! I'm walking over to you now.

[thud]

-Are you alright? -Be careful!

Oh Primus!

Alright, alright, alriiiight.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Medix, are you feeling okay?

Better than okay! Cool!

And fun! And loosened up!

Ha! What are you wearing?

Better question:

What happened to the real Medix?

But I am the real Medix.

Wedge means that you're acting different.

-You're not yourself. -Well then.

Perhaps I'm... [imitates voice] Optimus Prime.

Ha ha ha!

I don't know what's gotten into you, Medix,

but you're hilarious.

[Chase] Recruits. We are needed again in Griffin Rock.

Uh oh! We better hurry!

Hmmm.

[Chase] The ice and snow have knocked down some power lines

near an intersection.

Rescue Recruits, roll out!

Come on, team, let's-- Whoaaa!

[thud]

Medix, are you alright?

Of course I am! That is what is known as a "pratfall."

Done for your entertainment. As is this!

-[spritz] -What are you-- ahem-- Stop!

Ah ha ha!

Medix, stop. What is going on with you?

There's no reason why we can't have a good time

-while on a rescue. -Actually, there is.

Rescues are about safety!

You need to get serious, Medix.

[Wedge] Keep your mind on the mission.

[zzzzap]

[Hot sh*t] Live electric cable, ice, broken pole...

What do we do first?

Medix, what's the protocol for a down power line?

[Medix] Alright, alright, alright.

Alright. What?

Ah ha! I am having such a good time

on this rescue.

Come on, Medix. We need your help!

Well, If I weren't having such a good time,

the first thing I'd do would be to stand guard

over the ends of the power line to make sure no one comes near.

Like that car driving toward them now!

[engine revs]

Next I would follow the wire back to its source

and turn off the power there.

Hurry! Before another car comes!

I see the power box!

But we need to get up there and cut through those branches.

-Any ideas? -[Medix] I have three!

-Ta-da! -[Hot sh*t] Medix!

Come on! Knock it off!

I'm doing what you asked! Loosen up!

-Laugh, have fun. -[Whirl, Hoist] Oh. Ah.

We did ask for that, huh.

But we didn't ask for it now! This is an emergency,

and we need the old Medix to help us!

But, I thought you didn't like the old Medix.

We never said that!

We just wanted you to have more fun with us.

After a mission.

Yeah. There's a time for laughs and a time for being serious.

And on a rescue,

serious, logical, rule-following Medix

is the best bot for the job!

Well, in that case.

Wedge. How 'bout a boost?

♪♪

Power out!

[gasp]

Chase was right. That is a sure-fire finish!

-[together] Great job! Good going! -That's the Medix we know!

Medix, we owe you an apology.

This whole mess was our fault.

I am sorry as well.

But relieved that there is a time and place for fun.

It's exhausting trying to be the life of the party every moment.

-[thud] -Wa-oh!

Uh, Medix. You can stop now.

That was not intentional.

[all laugh]
