04x04 - Senior Day

[bunniefuu]

♪♪

Blythe: Good morning, pets! Who'd like to go with me today

to the 'Sunset Siesta Retirement Village'

for a little pet therapy?

I've met so many great people

since I started volunteering there.

I just know the residents would love to meet you.

Well, obviously I'm going.

Spreading joy is kind of 'my thing'.

Awesomesauce! Vinnie? Sunil?

Sorry, Blythe, but Vinnie and I are very busy right now.

True dat. We are in the middle of an epic staring contest.

Really? What does the winner get?

Actually, we don't know.

Perhaps we should've thought this through a little more

before we began.

Ooh! Does that mean you want to quit?

[growling voice] Never!

How about you, Minka?

Sorry, Blythe, I have to stay and see who blinks first.

Are you interested, Pepper?

No thanks. I've spent more than my fair share with older folks.

My owner's parents once stayed with us for three weeks.

Hello!

Eww!

'Eww' doesn't begin to cover it.

Well, I'll go with you, Blythe.

I'm built for cuddling. I'm like a pillow with arms and legs.

[chuckle] You sure are, Penny Ling.

Russell, how about you?

Sure, I'll come along.

It'll give me a chance to catch up with my dad, Jerry.

Your dad lives at Sunset Siesta?

He does. His owner's been a resident there for a while now.

Huh. This is the first time I've heard about this.

Why don't you go see him more often?

Well, let's just say that Jerry is... a lot of a lot.

Oh come on, Russell! Your dad can't be that bad.

You'll see.

OK, everyone, gather 'round

I've brought some of my friends from Littlest Pet Shop

with me today that I think you're gonna like.

Everyone? This is... Russell, Penny Ling, and Zoe.

Feel free to pet them, play with them, or even talk to them.

[chuckle] Just don't expect them to talk back.

I was wondering where I put my hair piece!

Um, Zoe's a dog, not a hair piece.

Are you sure? Because she looks like my hair.

Uh, why don't you go mingle with the other residents, huh, Zoe?

Oh, Oh, That's the stuff. Oh yeah.

Will you be OK, Russell?

Cause I should start making my rounds to the residents' rooms.

Sure. Penny Ling has this crowd under control.

So I think I'll go look for my--

Excuse me! Do you mind? Hedgehog comin' through!

Ugh! It's like trying to cut your way through a thick forest

of veiny trees.

Dad!

Rusty! It's about time you came to visit me.

I was beginning to think you forgot I lived here.

Uh, sorry, Dad. I guess I've been a little busy.

Doin' what? Offending eyeballs with that haircut?

Is that the look you kids are into these days? Who's that?

Your new owner? What happened to the other one?

You finally drove her nuts, didn't you?

Look, I hate to say I saw it coming, but I did!

Dad, Mrs. Owens is still my owner.

This is Blythe. She's my friend.

What, you can't make friends with other hedgehogs?

Why do you always gotta be different?

Hi, Mr. Ferguson. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Likewise, sweetheart. And please, call me Jerry.

Pfft! You picked a real winner this time, Rusty.

She's trying to talk to me!

That's because Blythe can actually speak with pets

and she's trying to be nice!

Wow, Russell, you weren't kidding. Your dad is...

'A lot of a lot.' Yup.

'A lot of a lot?' What is that, some kind of new slang?

You kids and your cool words.

Would it hurt you to use the English language properly?

Well, it was nice meeting you, Mr. Ferguson.

I have work to do, so I'll just leave you two to catch up. .

Listen, Rusty, I'm really glad you're here.

Something terrible is happening and I need your help.

What is it, Dad?

My owner is moving to another retirement home

and he's not allowed to take me with him!

Really? Why?

I have no idea. I overheard him talking yesterday.

That's right! That's what they told me.

At my new home I'm not allowed to have Jerry

in any way, shape, or form.

I'm just so upset about the entire thing.

On the bright side,

I did hear they have the best creamed corn in the city!

That's great. Have you seen my hair piece?

What am I gonna do, Rusty?

Despite what one might assume from my rugged good looks,

I am not built to survive on my own in the wilderness.

But couldn't someone else here adopt you?

And please don't call me Rusty. No one calls me Rusty anymore.

Ah, nobody else wants an old hedgehog.

♪[sad violin]

Maybe there's a shelter for homeless hedgehogs.

Or I could learn to be a hobo.

I always did want to play the harmonica

and eat nothin' but beans out of a can.

Well, I guess you could... come live... with... me.

Ahh, you don't mean that.

Uh, sure I do, dad.

I'd just be a pain in your spine.

Honestly, it wouldn't be a bother--

I'd be in the way. You'd just get sick of me.

No way. I really think we could make it work.

'Work' is right!

That's how you'll feel about me as your roommate.

Stop it, Dad! I want you to move in with me.

I insist and I won't have it any other way.

OK! I'll come live with you.

But remember, this was all your idea, Rusty. Now let's go!

I need to pack my stuff. And by 'I', I mean 'you'.

[knock at door]

Hello, Lorraine.

How's my favorite resident of Sunset Siesta today?

I am just wonderful, Bee.

I've decided that's my new nickname for you.

I may be getting older,

but I can still hang with the cool kids.

Bee, huh? I love it.

[gasp] Fresh flowers? For little ol' me?

[sniff] You know, this is exactly the type of sweet thing

my granddaughters are always doing for me.

They truly are just the most caring and selfless girls.

You remind me so much of them.

So you've told me. Too bad this picture is so out of focus.

It is?

Well, I'm bummed I always miss your granddaughters

when they visit.

Me too. I really think you girls would get along so wonderfully.

I'd love for you to meet them.

Definitely! They sound awesome.

Uh, I'll be right back.

[grunting]

Russell, what's going on?

Um... well... you see...

Maybe you should put the boxes down.

Oh. This is my dad's stuff.

His owner Larry is moving to a new home

and can't take Dad with him, so he's going to live with me.

Really? That is so nice of you.

I was thinking more along the lines of 'completely cuckoo'.

But what can I do? He's my dad.

HEY! Less talk, more move!

I want to be unpacked and settled in before dinner.

Speaking of, I eat at four.

We eat any later and I'm gonna be up all night

starring in a one-man show called 'Bladder Wars'!

Your dad knows that I'm your ride back, right?

Not a clue.

Chop chop, Rusty! I'm not getting any younger!

[quiet whimper] Help me!

There. All unpacked, Dad. Dad? Where'd you go?

Ugh, is this where we sleep?

Ah? Comfy and cozy, right?

We're too close to the heater!

And when was the last time someone washed that pillow case?

Uhh...

Look, I'll take your pillow and you can lose sleep

worrying about your allergies flaring up.

Hey, how warm is your owner's lap? Not for nothing,

but I could use a little cuddle time tonight.

[groan]

What's the matter? Got a migraine?

[yawn]

Huh?

[munching]

Hey! That's my breakfast!

Mine was mushy. You can have it.

Ugh! [GAG]

[snores and mumbles]

Hey, I was watchin' that!

[groan]

[sigh]

Hiya, Rusty.

Gah!

Another migraine?

Thank you so much for coming early to help me get ready

for my granddaughters' visit, Bee.

It's my pleasure, Lorraine.

I want you to look your prettiest for them.

And that is just what they'd be doing for me

if you were the one coming to visit.

I just know you girls are going to be B.F.F.L.'s.

Best Friends For Life!

Did I get that right?

[giggle] Close enough. And we're done.

You look gorgeous, Lorraine.

Now why don't you take a little walk

while I get your room ready for their visit.

You're such a dearie.

Are you sure you and my granddaughters

weren't separated at birth?

[giggle]

I've gotta say, I'm pretty excited to meet these girls.

So this is where we spend the day, huh? What time's 'Bingo'?

No 'Bingo' at Day Camp, Dad.

So what are we supposed to do to pass the time?

Talk to each other?

Well, it wouldn't hurt you to get to know my friends.

And leave me alone for five minutes.

Come again? My left ear is a little wonky.

Never mind. Here! This is my friend, Zoe.

Oh, I remember this cutie.

We met on the ride back from Sunset Siesta.

Rusty, didn't tell me he was such good friends

with a supermodel.

Oh, my. Thank you.

And moving along. This is Vinnie.

What are you, some kind of Komodo Dragon?

Gecko, actually.

Phew! Guess that means you won't try to eat me!

But if you do have a taste for hedgehog, try Rusty first.

He's young and soft. I mean, look at him!

When do you think was the last time

he even looked at a dumbbell?

Ha ha ha! Oh, man. Dumbbell! You're k*lling me!

What's the matter with this one?

[laugh] Rusty, why didn't you tell us your dad is so funny?

Uh, I'm Pepper, Mr. Russell's dad.

I thought I knew comedy, but it looks like I have much to learn.

Teach me, Master.

Hey, what do I know from comedy? I just know what makes me laugh.

Like how Rusty's nose whistles when he snores.

Now that's funny!

[laughter]

Grr.

It's the kookiest thing! I'm trying to sleep

and this one next to me is using his schnoz

to referee a basketball game!

[giddy laughter]

That's IT! I can't take it anymore!

Dad, you are driving me out of my mind!

You are the one who leaves your quills in the bathroom sink

every morning! You are the one who eats all my food!

And, you are the one who follows me everywhere I go

so I never have one second of privacy to myself!

You are a nuisance and I, Russell, am doing everything

I can to help you, but you make it impossible!

I'm done! Finished! Tapping out! UNCLE!

'Uncle'? I thought Jerry was your dad.

Well, now that I know how you really feel,

I'll just pack up my things and be on my way.

I'm sorry I am so horrible to live with.

It was nice meeting all of you.

When you see me living out of a box on the street,

be sure to say hello

and maybe throw your spare change in my direction.

Dad, come on. Don't be so dramatic!

Gotta admit. This is PERFECT!

Hurry, girls. Bee, is waiting for us in my room.

She's so excited to meet you!

Finally, Grandgran. You've been, like, raving about 'Bee'

since the day she started.

[gasp] Lorraine's sweet granddaughters are the Biskits?

[panicked whimpers]

O-M-G! There's no escape!

Hmmm. Looks like Bee isn't here.

Well, I'm sure she'll be back soon.

Whoa! I, like, love how she decorated your room, Grandgran.

Grandgran, from everything you've told us, there's, like

no way we won't be friends with this girl.

And, Whittany, your idea to bring Bee a gift

for being so nice to Grandgran was, like, totally awesome.

Is this really happening?

Look, I know I was harsh on my dad,

but you don't know what it's been like since he got here.

He's never satisfied with his own meals.

I can't even touch the TV remote.

And he follows me everywhere I go!

Russell, I'm sure he doesn't follow you everywhere.

Ev. Ree. Where.

Look, it's not that I want my dad to leave,

but he's just so hard to live with.

I feel like we have nothing in common.

How do you know for sure?

Huh?

Jerry just moved in with you.

He's been uprooted from his nice comfortable life with his owner.

Maybe if you give him more time to get used to

his new surroundings, things will be better

and you two will get along swimmingly.

Let's not get crazy.

Well, you know what they say:

You can't teach an old hedgehog new tricks.

That may be true, darling,

but perhaps Jerry can teach you a few things

he's learned along the way.

Hmmm. Maybe you're right.

In any case, I need to find my dad and apologize.

I could be stuck in here for hours! What am I gonna do?

What am I gonna do? Think, Blythe, think!

Brittany, I have an idea-thingee!

You do?

Yeah! Why don't we, like, go to the Commons Room

and get some old school board games to like play

with Grandgran and our soon-to-be Bee-F.F.?

'Bee-F-F'! Get it, Britt? Bee, like her name.

Good one, Whitt. You're totes hilar.

Mwah Mwah!

We'll be right back, Grandgran.

They are the nicest girls. [snores]

This is my chance.

We forgot to ask what board game you'd like to-

Omph!

Blythe?

What are you doing here?

Bee!

You're Bee?

Surprise?

Waiting for me to pack your box for you, Dad?

Well, I'm here to say I won't do it because...

I don't want you to go.

I know it can't be easy for you to start a new life here with me

and I need to be more respectful of that.

If you want to eat my food instead of yours,

or follow me everywhere I go, or just do... whatever...

...you can. It's totally fine.

Uh, I admit I had a good thing going with Larry.

My life at Sunset Siesta is all I know.

But I owe you an apology, too.

I feel like I've been a pain in your spine,

which is exactly what I didn't want to be.

I can be a little 'prickly', sometimes.

Comes with being a hedgehog, I guess.

So, I'm sorry if I embarrassed you in front of your friends.

Ah, that's OK, Dad.

We embarrass ourselves in front of each other all the time.

Grandgran, this is the girl who reminds you of us?

I'm Bee, I mean Blythe, and it is soooo nice to meet you.

Let me guess, you're Whittany?

Like... Uh huh.

Which makes you Brittany. You so totally look like a Brittany.

I, like, know.

This is soooo great! I've heard so much

about Lorraine's sweet and loving granddaughters,

so much so that I was beginning to think that

you had to be too good to be true.

But here you are, and I have to say...

Ha ha ha! I still find it hard to believe.

Us, too.

Oh, Bee, the girls brought you a gift!

For me? That's so sweet!

Oh, wow! I love it! I can't wait to wear it!

Oh! Try in on now.

NO!

Great idea, Lorraine.

It's totally my size. I might never take it off.

Ugh, great.

I told you my granddaughters were the sweetest.

And now you can all be B.F.F.L.'s.

Total B.F.F.L.'s.

Ugh! Well, so nice meeting you, Blythe,

but we don't want to, like, keep you from your...whatever you do.

We'll just walk you out.

Those girls as friends does a Grandgran's heart good.

O.M.G.! That was, like, the worst!

I can't believe you two are the sweet, loving granddaughters

Lorraine's been telling me about!

And we can't believe you are her favorite volunteer!

YOU. As if.

Well, I am a pretty good volunteer.

It took everything in me not to, like, scream.

Me, too.

And to think Grandgran wanted us all to be B.F.F.'s.

AS IF! [laughs]

Never happening.

NEVER!

Listen up, 'Bee'.

You can, like, keep being Grandgran's favorite volunteer

as long as we're never here the same time you are.

Fine by me.

And you can, like, never ruin our reputation

by telling anyone how nice we can be. Understand?

Pfft, like anyone would believe me, anyway.

Oh, and you can keep that adorable kitty cat sweater.

We'd never wear it.

Perfect. I'll think of you both whenever I wear it.

Blech! Please. Don't.

Larry! What are you doing here?

I'm here to pick up Jerry and take him to my new place.

But I thought Jerry wasn't allowed at your new place.

Well, uh, Yeah. Well, it seems I was mistaken about that.

They didn't say that I wasn't allowed to have Jerry.

They said I'm not allowed to have 'jeggings'!

Ooh! Ha ha.

Too bad, too, because I just bought a dozen of them

down at the ShopCo.

So, you OK with me going back to live with Larry?

Dad, he's your owner.

Of course I'm OK. It's the way it should be.

You're the best son a hedgehog could ever ask for.

I'll come back and visit often.

Maybe not too often.

Jerry, there you are! You're gonna love our new place, Jerry.

It's nice and quiet.

Not for nothin', but this place seems like a lot of a lot.
