mama?

Could you tell us a story
about the three little otters.
Please?

I just need to finish
the book I'm reading,
then I promise I'll--

Mama! Mama! Mama!
Shh!

Now, I told you,
aunt nanner's sleeping
right next door.

She had a long trip,
and she's really tired.

So you've got to be quiet
and let her rest.
[Together] yes, mama.

Nighty night.
Don't let the fishes bite.

night night!
night, mama.

[water sloshing]
peanut, are you awake?

- Huh?
- Peanut, psst!
I think I hear something.

- What? What is it?
- I don't know.

It sounds like something's
licking the side of the boat.

What could be licking
the side of the boat?

I don't know,
but it's something
big and licky!

Maybe it's a shark!

[Laughing, slurping]

Don't be a goof.
Sharks don't lick boats.
Go back to sleep.

[sloshing continues]

Aah!
Aah!

Wait. Come here.
That licking sound
is just the water.

You're right!
You're right!
He's right!

It's only water.
He's right.

Oh, boy.
[Crying]

Butter, it's okay.

It's just your big, brave
older sister... Freaking out!

[Gibbering]
mmm!

Why don't you try
counting frogs?

Mom says that helps you
fall asleep.

Frogs? Hm.

[jelly]
one frog. Two frogs--
[croaking]

shark eat frog!
[roars]

It is gonna be
a long night.

Counting stuff
is a bad idea.

I don't care what you do.
Just be quiet so I can sleep.

[Moans]

[snarling]
[gasps]

Peanut? Peanut?
[snarling continues]

It's a gorilla!

No, it's just my imagination,
just my imagination,
just my imagination.

Right? Right?

[All gasping]
how come I hear
a gorilla?

[Jelly]
run for your lives!
It's a gorilla!

[snarling continues]
[jelly]
aaah!

Jelly, it's just
our imagination.
Oh.

There's nothing
to be scared of.
Let's go back to bed.

[snarling]
wait!
There it is again.

Aah!

What are we gonna do?
How about
the noodle dance?

I don't think
that's such a good idea.
How come?

While we're dancing,
we'll be sitting ducks...

For the gorilla
to gobble us right up.
[crying]

No, butter.
Peanut was just kidding.

You know,
playing a game.

Oh.

A game, you know,
like the noodle dance
game... Thing.

Yeah! Come on, butter.
Let's noodle dance.

♪♪ [Humming
"noodle dance song"]

Shh! We gotta figure out
a way to keep that gorilla
away from us.

I got it!
We build a high-powered
force field.

The gorilla takes one step
across the laser beams,

And bam,
that gorilla's toast!

- [Giggling]
- great, jelly!

Let's go fire up
our lasers!

Wait!
I forgot something.

What?
We don't have
any lasers.

- How 'bout
we lock the door?
- I don't know, peanut.

Sounds like the gorilla
is already in the room.
[snarling]

Getting ready
to eat us up?

Like a midnight snack?

Snack!
Wait, that's it!

The gorilla's hungry,
right? So, let's
give him a snack.

You wanna feed the gorilla?
What do you think this is,
the zoo?

No. You see, we give it
lots and lots of food,
right?

Gorilla full.
Boom! Gorilla
leaves us alone.

Jelly, you're a genius!
Come on.

[laughing]

I wonder what gorillas
like to eat.

Peanut--
butter--

And jelly
sandwiches!

[Together]
yeah!
All right!

That's it!
Good thinking.

Wait. You know
what else gorillas
like to eat?

What?
A lot!

Mmm!
Butter, no.

No eat.
Feed the gorilla.
Feed the gorilla.

Let's make a line.
It'll go faster.

I'll throw the food
to you, you throw it
to butter.

That's using
your noodle!

[Grunting]

Wh-- wh--

Huh?
[Chuckling]

Okay, that's everything.
Let's--
[gasps]

hey! Where'd
all the food go?
mmm.

You threw it
out the window?

She threw it
out the window?

Now what are we
going to do?

I think it's time to ask
mama and daddy for help.
No way!

We're not supposed
to wake them up
unless it's an emergency.

Peanut, there's
a giant, huge,

Otter-eating gorilla
in our room who wants
to gobble us up.

It's kind of
an emergency!

You know what I need?

Snacks?
You read my mind.

Hello, babbleberry pie!

Ernest, you are an otter
after my own heart.

Mom! Dad!
Mama!

Oh, no!

The gorilla!
You see the gorilla?

The gorilla's been here.
He's got mama and daddy.

We've gotta wake up
aunt nanner!
You heard mom.

Aunt nanner's tired
from her long trip
and needs to rest.

Peanut, this is an even bigger
emergency than before.

The gorilla that's
waiting to gobble us up
has got mama and daddy!

[Together]
aunt nanner!

One yummy, yummy slice
of babbleberry pie
comin' right up!

[Ernest gasps]
who could've eaten
all our food?

I hate to say it,
but that sister of yours
has the appetite of ten otters.

Lucky thing
I set aside some--
salmon-sicles!

Let's eat out on the deck.
It's so peaceful
under the stars.

[Together]
aunt nanner!
[Snores]

Huh? What are
you little cuties
doing up at this hour?

Aunt nanner, there's
a gorilla in our room!

You've gotta help us!

It took mama
and daddy prisoner!

I see.
There's a gorilla
in your room, huh?

Now, why do you say that?

Just listen.
You can hear the gorilla
for yourself.

[crickets chirping]
huh?
It stopped.

He must be hiding.

Ooh, he's
a sneaky gorilla.
[Chuckling]

Don't worry.

Sometimes I imagine all sorts

Of scary creatures
hiding under my bed.

- And you know what?
- [Together]
what?

Nothing ever turns out
to be as scary
as I imagined.

But, aunt nanner,
this is a real gorilla.

We all heard it,
even baby butter.

Yeah.
This is
a real emergency.

Well, in that case,
I think it's time
to dance the "go away."

The what?

It's a dance
your grandma taught me
when I was your age.

What do we do?

You gotta sing loud,
and you gotta sing real bad!

Scary creatures hate that.

[Together]
ohh!

And if you sing
and dance bad enough,

Those scary creatures
will turn tail
and run for the hills!

Gorilla.

Aunt nanner's helping us

She's also helping you
wake up everyone on the lake.

[Giggling]
really, anna.

Sorry, but you remember
the "go away" dance,
don't you?

Well... Yeah.

Has everyone on this boat
lost their minds?

Does anyone know
what time it is?

Your father's right.

It's way past
your bedtime.

[snarling]
oh, no!
Not again.

[snarling continues]
I don't believe this.

[Snoring]

Boy, I wish
I was a baby.

There's a gorilla
in our room,
and butter's sleeping.

She sounds like
a baby gorilla.
Wait a minute.

When aunt nanner
was awake, we didn't
hear the gorilla.

But when aunt nanner
went to sleep--

[Snoring loudly]

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Aunt nanner's
a gorilla?

No! Her snoring
just sounds like a gorilla.

Exactly.

[Opal]
oh, dear me!

So you kids
thought aunt nanner
was the gorilla?

[Laughing]
but there's one thing
I still don't understand.

What happened
to all our food?

[big burp]

[Gibbers, burps]
ha ha.

[All laughing]

[Slurps]
ahh!

Ernest, will you
call pe--

Ahh-- ahh--
ahh-choo!

excuse me.
bless you, honey.

[Sizzling]
ooh! Ah! Ooh!

I guess
I'm getting a cold.
Ahh-choo!

- [Jelly] what was that?
- Peanut! Jelly!
Baby butter!

- biscuits are up!
- biscuits!

[butter]
bisky! Biscuits!

Me first!
Outta the way!

[Laughing]
whoa!
Hoo-hah!

Okay, kids, here's
your bre-- ahh-choo!
[Sniffles]

What's the matter?

I'm fine, honey.
No big de--
ahh-choo!

Fine, my foot.
You're catching a cold, opal.

I'm going
to stay home from work
and take care of you.

You can't. You've got
people all over lake hoohaw
who need their deliveries.

Then I'm going to call
the raccoons and have
wanda come over here.

Oh, don't do that.

Somebody's gotta
look out for you.
Oh, I'll be fine.

Now, don't you worry.

No, wait, daddy.
I can take care of mama.

- Excuse me?
- Hey!

Okay, okay.

Peanut and butter and I
can do it.

I don't know about that.

Please?
I know how to do
everything mom does.

- It's easy.
- Oh, really?

You think so, hmm?
Mm-hmm.

Well, okay, then,
since it's okay with mama.

It's fine with me.
Ahh-choo!

- Yay!
- Now, mama, you get upstairs
and get to bed.

All right.
[Peanut]
I'll help you, mom.

Mama, mama.
I've gotta get going.

Take care of your mama
and make sure
nobody disturbs her.

Got it?
[Kids]
got it!

[Kisses]
good luck.

Mm-hmm.
[Coughs]
ahh-choo!

If you need anything else,
just holler, okay, mama?

Thank you, jelly.

I'll be...
[Sniffles]
fine.

Okay, y'all,
let's let mom
get some rest.

Feel better.
Feel better.

I will.

- [Ringing]
- I'll get it!

[Rings]

Otter residence.
Jelly speaking.

Hello. This is
georgina snooty.

I've got to speak
to opal this instant.
Rrrr.

Okay. Oh, wait.

Sorry, miss snooty,
but she can't.

And why not?

Well, she's got
a real bad cold,

And daddy told her
she can't talk to anybody.

Well, I'm not
just anybody.

[opal]
jelly, who is that?

Gotta go now.
Mama's calling. Bye.

Well, I never!
[Barks]

[shouting on tv]

What are you
watching?
squid squad.

[Squid on tv]
okay, copper. Hands against
the wall, all eight of 'em.

You know
we're not supposed
to watch that junk.

- We're supposed
to be helping mama.
- Oh, right.

- I know. She's probably
getting hungry, right?
- Right.

- We can make her some food.
- And bring it to her in bed.

Yeah!

I know how to cook
really good.

- Me too!
- Me three.

Hey, what are we
gonna make?

Well, when you're sick,
you're supposed to eat soup.

Yeah. Let's make
peanut butter
and jelly soup.

You do the peanut,
and I'll do the jelly.
Mmm, yummy!

Mom's gonna
love this.
Mmm!

Man, that's good eatin'!

Be careful.

I am!
[Giggling]

Jelly, you wanna come out
and play ballerinas?

Not now, pinch.
I've gotta stay
and take care of my mama.

- Aaah!
- No, scootch, no!

Sorry, sorry.
My fault.

Oh, pb&j,
I'm so sorry.

What can I do to help?

[Together]
take scootch home!

Oh, okay.
Come on, scootch.

Sorry, sorry.
My fault.

[smacking lips,
giggling]

aw, man!
we better clean
this up fast.

What if mama came down
and saw this?

She'd feel so bad,
it'd make her even sicker.

You know how she likes
to keep the house
neat and tidy.

I've got
a great idea.

We're gonna clean up
this mess.

You already had
that idea, peanut.

In fact, anybody standing
here

In a big, old puddle of
peanut butter and jelly soup...

Is gonna have that idea.

No, wait.
And then we clean up
the whole house.

Wow! We'll make mama
so proud and happy.

She'll just forget
all about that cold of hers.

Jelly, let me speak
to your mother
right now!

I have
an emergency here.
An emergency?

Yes. I need her to fix
my hat immediately.
[Barks]

She's resting,
miss snooty.

Resting? What does she
want to do that for?

I never rest
a minute, young lady.
Tell her that.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh! Those otters!
[Snarling]

Whew!
Man! Phew!

Oops. We forgot
to do the dishes.

[opal]
kids?

I better go check
on mama.

What's the matter, mama?

I justed wanted to see
how you all were doing.

We're fine.
You rest now.

You just take it
easy, okay?

If you want, you can play
with commander casserole
and lord gravy.

Oh, thanks, honey.

Don't you worry about us.

[Peanut]
everything's under control.

[Peanut, jelly]
oh, no!

I left the water
running! Whoa!

Ah!
[Giggling]

Oh, man!
Whoa!

Whoo!

Whoo! That's
a whole lot of bubbles.

We gotta get rid of them
before mom comes down again.

Yeah, but how?
what can we use to get
rid of these bubbles?

I know. Raisins.

Raisins? No way!

- [jelly]
oven mitts?
- like how, jelly?

I don't know.
I'm just thinking about
what we've got around here.

Cups!
Come on, peanut.

Let's scoop up
these bubbles.

Aw, man!

Bubbly.
Hee hee!

Look!
We could blow 'em away.

What on earth?

Come here, kids.

Aren't you sweet.

Oh, it was nothing.
Yeah, piece of cake.
Huh?

You know, I'm feeling
better already.

I knew we could be
mama for a day.
Yay!

How'd they do?

These little otters took
extra special care of me.

You wouldn't believe
all the work they did
around the house.

I don't think they realized
how much work it would be.

Really?
How do you know?
See for yourself.

[Snoring]

They're plumb

I guess it wasn't
so easy after all.
