Out of this trap in time for his party.

- I have a brilliant idea.

- A fisherman is pulling the lobster trap up.

- Now I'll never get to my party.

- If I didn't know better, I'd think...

♪ This is se-wious

- Wonder pets, we have to get the rock lobster

Out of the trap fast.

- Do you guys hear a clicking sound?

- Oh, that was me.

I pinch my pinchers when I'm nervous.

- That's it.

The rock lobster can use what he's got.

All: huh?

- Just like when ming-ming used her wings

To get the straw back in the classroom.

- Oh, yeah.

Rock lobster...
