[kids laughing]

Oh! [laughs]

[Julia] Oh, sorry, little man.

[sighs] Today is gonna be

a super-duper day.

[playing notes]

[grunting]

Yeah! [chuckles]

Awesome!

-[distant thud]

-Whoa! Huh?

Hmm. I have

a belly bad feeling about this.

Oh! The baddest belly feeling.

[thud]

Relax, it's just a little earth--

Duck!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Go! Go! Go!

Huh?

Mmm, orange.

[all screaming]

[both grunt]

[blowing party horn]

[kids laughing]

[Julia] Having fun, my little man?

[chuckles] How could anyone not?

-[woman] Time to cut the cake, kids!

-[kids cheering]

[all sigh in relief]

Oh, oh!

Uh, yeah, great idea, Julia.

[chuckles]

It's healthy to have

a little time apart every now and then.

[yells]

Oh, you're back.

Who wants a cuddle-wuddle?

[man] Ugh! How much rubbish

can a few kids make?

[gasps]

Ah, there seems to have been

a little boo-boo. [yells]

[gasps]

Oh. Oh, no.

-[sobbing]

-[kids laughing]

Okay, don't panic.

Julia will be back in a flash.

She won't last five minutes

without a cuddle-wuddle.

[kids continue laughing]

[sniffles] Any moment now.

Just any moment and it'll just...

They'll be right back

to all the cuddling and love.

[sobbing]

You bugs hear that?

[teddy bear crying in the distance]

Hello? Julia?

Oh, its coming from

the Mountain of A-marvel-mazings.

-The trash heap?

-Yes!

[teddy bear continues crying]

But we can't just charge off into the dark

without proper, uh, planning!

"Charging off into the dark"

is my middle name.

But you don't have a last name!

[Jay chuckles]

-Hmm?

-[teddy bear] Hi, there.

[yells] Oh, oh!

The amazing mountain is talking.

[teddy bear chuckles]

Uh, sorry to disappoint,

but it's not the trash talking. It's me.

[all] Huh?

[Kumi grunting]

Who is me? [grunting]

Hi. Maxwell's the name,

Julia's favoritest soft toy.

Uh, anyone need a cuddle-wuddle?

[laughs nervously]

I know I do.

What are you doing

in the, uh, trash heap, Maxwell?

[chuckles] Great question. I...

[sighs] I really don't know.

[Jay] Uh, however you got in there,

we are gonna get you out.

However long it takes.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you, thank you. I...

As soon as I can move,

you are all gonna

get the biggest cuddle-wuddle

you've ever had in your lives.

[bugs grunting]

[bugs continue grunting]

[gasps] Come here.

So, what is this place, anyway?

Oh, uh, well, this is where

the gigants dump all their garbage.

Garbage?

Old and, uh, useless stuff

they don't want anymore.

Uh, why would Julia do that?

Why don't you come back

to our village, Maxwell?

[chuckles] It's a lot more comfortable

than this dump.

You can stay at my house.

Plenty of room at the old boot.

I can clear up some space in my workshop.

I think there's a functioning couch

in there somewhere.

You can come to my house.

I live in a juice box.

[chuckles] I should stay put.

Julia will be looking for me.

I mean, I have been here

since... since yesterday.

[chuckles nervously]

Are you sure, Maxwell?

Yes. Uh, I'm sure.

I'll wait for Julia.

Hmm. Let's keep an eye on him, okay?

[sighs] I really wish...

[sobbing] I wish it was...

♪ Yesterday ♪

♪ All my troubles seemed so far away ♪

♪ Now it looks as though

They're here to stay ♪

♪ Oh, I believe in yesterday ♪

♪ Suddenly ♪

♪ I'm not half the man I used to be ♪

♪ There's a shadow hanging over me ♪

♪ Oh, yesterday came suddenly ♪

♪ Why she had to go ♪

♪ I don't know, she wouldn't say ♪

♪ I said something wrong ♪

♪ Now, I long for yesterday ♪

[sobbing] Oh, my bellyness.

That is just too much!

[Jay] We're gonna

get you back to Julia, Maxwell,

and we've got the perfect plan to do it.

Uh, Kumi will fill you in

on the details.

[Kumi] Uh...

[gasps]

Uh, yeah, thanks, Jay.

Huh. Well, I guess, um...

Oh! We need to get Julia's attention.

Ideas, anyone?

I love ideas!

But I don't have any.

Ah! I may have a few.

Okay, bugs, status update.

[both grunt] Ready!

Ah, well, hmm.

I just need a--

Ready!

Then raise the flag!

[both grunt]

Sound the summoning horn!

-[party horn blows]

-[Buzz screams]

Give it another go, Crick.

[party horn blowing in the distance]

I'm sorry, Maxwell.

Maybe Julia didn't hear it?

Or... Or maybe...

Maybe she doesn't want

any more cuddle-wuddles.

Wait, wait!

By my, uh, cricktocalculations,

all we need to do

is, uh, make a louder noise.

There's a louder noise than that?

You are standing on it.

Huh?

Huh. We just need to figure out

exactly how to trigger

the, uh, boom buckets.

[footsteps approaching]

[man] Time to take out the trash.

[laughs] Never gets old.

Hey, down here!

Cuddle-wuddle? Cudd--

[man] Trash night is tonight? Ugh.

Guess I'd better tidy this up.

[gasps] Oh, my goodness gracious!

It's... [gasps] the disappearers.

Ahhh! The disappearerers?

I've seen them before. They take things

-and make them disappear.

-[gasps] Oh!

Hmm. That's better.

[garbage truck beeping]

We have to save him!

No! I won't let you disappear, Jay!

But what about Maxwell?

[Crick] Yes! I've got it!

The, uh... The trigger

for the boom buckets is, uh, this!

Quick! Boom bucket stations!

On my signal...

And now!

[party poppers pop]

[Julia] What was that?

Yeah, I got these ones.

[gasps]

[Julia] Stop!

Maxwell?

What are you doing in the trash?

Oh, you poor thing.

-[all cheering]

-[Crick] Yeah! Bye, Maxwell!

Thank you.

[Walter singing opera]

-[bugs groaning]

-[Walter singing louder]

[whimpering]

[barking]

[Walter continues singing]

[howling]

[barking]

-[Jay] Look out!

-[bugs screaming]

-[barks]

-[yells]

[dog howling]

Hmm! How rude!

Um, is he heading for the village?

-[objects clatter]

-[bugs gasp]

Yes!

[all panting]

[Jay] Whoa!

[whimpering]

It's okay, Bulldog.

The scary noise is gone now.

-[continues whimpering]

-[Kumi] Shh.

[whimpers]

Oh, the scary noise is gone? Ah.

Ex-squish me?

I think singing

makes Bulldog's ears go hurty.

Uh, bugs, I think

Bulldog made our village go hurty.

[Walter] Huh?

[indistinct chatter]

[all gasp]

[whimpers and barks]

[indistinct chatter]

One at a time, please. [sighs]

Okay, whose houses were damaged?

Everybuggy's.

[bugs] Yeah. Uh-huh.

My workshop has a huge hole in the roof.

And the tree house is all broke!

-[bugs clamoring]

-[bug] You gotta fix it.

You bugs got a problem

and I got the answer. Ugh!

[ants yelling]

[clears throat]

[clears throat] Cockroach Urban

Developments, aka CRUD, presents...

[projector clicks]

the bug village of the future!

[all] Wow!

It's like our village, only futurerer.

That's right, bugs.

Beautiful new houses for everybuggy.

[all exclaim]

[Cockroach] And a shiny new playground

with a super-deluxe skateboard ramp.

-Awesome!

-[laughs] Whoo-hoo!

Hmm. You know,

this seems too good to be true.

Plus, a high-tech inventor's workshop.

[gasps] But I can't argue with science.

I mean, it's all terri-belly nice,

but, uh, I don't see

what all the big fuss is about.

And a brand-new theater that makes

Penny Lane look like small change.

[gasps] Belly-rilliant! When do we start?

All this and much more

in the village of the future!

[all cheering]

Hold on, Cockroach.

Who's gonna build all this?

Who else? My hardworking ants.

I love to work.

Work, work, we love work.

Work, work, we love work...

But how will we get the food to pay them?

Easy. A tax'll pay for it.

Huh? Atax? Is he your friend?

[chuckles] A tax ain't a bug.

A tax means

every bug gives a little bit of food,

-which all together makes a lot.

-[projector clicking]

And we use that food to pay the ants

to build the village of the future!

So, what do you say, bugs?

[all cheering]

Hmm.

-[Cockroach] Bring out your tax!

-[ants grunting]

There's no time like tax time!

[bugs cheering]

Keep the food coming!

We're building

the village of the future here.

Hmm, I don't see any building going on.

Tax first, building later.

[coughs] Here, let me explain it to you,

so there's no confusion.

♪ Let me tell you how it will be ♪

[chuckles]

♪ There's one for you, for me ♪

Huh?

♪ 'Cause I'm the taxman ♪

♪ Yeah, I'm the taxman ♪

♪ If you drive a car

I'll tax the street ♪

♪ If you try to sit

I'll tax your seat ♪

♪ If you get too cold

I'll tax the heat ♪

♪ If you take a walk

I'll tax your feet ♪

♪ Taxman ♪

Come on, ants, keep the tax cart rolling.

[ants grunting]

Uh, wait. Where are you going?

Uh, aren't the ants gonna start building?

Cockroach!

Ugh!

[Jay humming]

Huh! Anyone else got a bad feeling

about this whole tax thing?

[chuckles] Oh, don't be

so belly-suspicious, Kumi.

That tax idea is genius.

Yeah. We get to kick back

while the ants do all the work.

Except the ants don't seem to be working.

Huh? Well, I'm sure

they'll start any moment now.

-Can I show you something, Crick?

-Mmm-hmm.

[ant snoring]

Huh?

Hmm.

[Crick] Hmph.

See? The village of the future.

It's still in the future.

[both groan]

[distant chomping]

[chomping loudly]

-Cockroach!

-[yelling]

Huh? [clears throat] Uh, what's up?

We paid our tax,

so why aren't the ants building anything?

Apart from a few, uh, holes?

Oh, that's just stage one.

Stage one? So, when's stage two?

Well, if you want stage two,

you gotta pay more tax.

-[both] Huh?

-More tax?

But the bugs

can't afford to give you more food.

We won't have anything to eat.

Sure they can. [gulps]

If they want a new village.

[clears throat] Anyway, gotta run.

No rest for the taxman, huh?

[laughing]

[both] Oh!

[Crick grunts] And if I multiply

the food we gave Cockroach

by... [grunts] the number of bugs,

then divide by the... [grunts]

number of buildings,

uh, Cockroach should have enough food

to build the new village times over.

[all] Huh?

And he wants more?

But what's he done

with all that belly-licious food

we gave him already?

That's exactly what we need to find out.

Hmm. Buzz?

How'd you like to be a spy?

Ha-ha! Yes, please!

Uh, what's a spy?

-[ants] Tax! Tax time!

-[ant ] All right!

-[Crick] Here they come!

-[ant ] Food tax!

Ready, Buzz?

-Ready!

-[Jay and Kumi] Shh!

[whispers] Oopsie. Ready.

[Kumi and Jay grunting]

[ants] Bring out your tax! Tax!

Tax time! Tax, all right!

Tax time! Tax! Tax! Food tax!

Hey, hey ants! Uh, wait up!

We've got this bag of, uh...

-Nuts!

-Berries!

Uh, nut-berries.

[ants] Mmm-hmm.

[Buzz giggling] That's ticklish!

[ants] Huh?

[both] Huh?

[giggling] Stop tickling me, Kumi.

-[both] Huh?

-[ant] Uh-huh.

[ants grunting]

[panting] Oh, my!

Where's he taking Buzz?

What if we never find her again? [crying]

Don't worry, Walter.

We just have to follow the trail of food.

[crying] Sorry, uh, did you say "food"?

[slurps]

-[Kumi] Mmm-hmm.

-[Walter] Ah!

You know...

I could, um,

get used to this spying thing.

Shush. I think we're there.

Oh, my belly-ness!

♪ Let me tell you how it will be ♪

♪ There's one for you, for me ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm the taxman ♪

♪ Yeah, I'm the taxman ♪

[all gasp]

♪ And you're working for no one but me ♪

♪ Taxman ♪

[chuckles] Keep it comin', ants!

I just love my tasty taxes.

Surprise!

-[Cockroach] Ahhh!

-[ants] Ooh! Ah!

[bugs] Big surprise!

[yells]

Oh! [whimpering]

[bugs] Hmm!

Okay, I know what you're thinking,

but I can explain everything.

Oh, this is gonna be good.

Uh, it's simple.

I'm a cockroach,

so being sneaky is my job, right?

But you've eaten

nearly all the food we gave you.

And our houses are still broken!

Exacta-belly! Who can we get

to fix up the village now, hmm?

Mmm?

I think I know

just the cockroach to do it.

[huffing]

Did I mention cockroaches are allergic

to hard work?
