01x02 - Vitamin D-isaster

Post by bunniefuu »

-Munchy, why are these so hard
to open?

-When a strange man sells you
a giant bag of fortune cookies

at a huge discount,
you don't ask questions.

-I feel like that's the
perfect time to ask questions.

-Hold up, I have an idea.

-Ooh, thank you.

-Munchy, I think these cookies
are really old.

-Why do you say that?

-Mine says,

"You will soon receive
a DVD player."

-"Back up your computer.
Y K is coming."

-Well, you know what they say
about fortune cookies.

The older they are,
the better they taste.

-Who told you that?

-The guy who sold me
the cookies.

[gags]

These taste like
my brother's socks.

-Are you okay?

-I'm good.

I just gotta find my glass
of water.

[notification chimes]

-Hey, we got a KidDING.

Vitamin tester.
-[gagging]

-All we would have to do
is take a vitamin.

-Sounds like a good gig.
[notification chimes]

-Whoa,
we got another KidDING.

Someone wants to hire us
for princesses

at a kid's birthday party.

-We've been practicing
our princess waves

since we were, like, four.

together:
[high-pitched] Hello.

-You're naturals.

-No way.

The person hiring us
is Ms. Castillo.

-As in our first grade
teacher Ms. Castillo?

Isn't she a little old
for a princess party?

-No, it's for her daughter.

Ms. Castillo was the best.

She's the one who started
my love affair with homework.

-[scoffs]

Well, I still remember our
arguments over silent letters.

She tried to tell me the word
"knuckle" starts with a K.

I don't think so, lady.

-I'm back.

-And I'm back too.

I see my little bro and his
friends are eating cookies

when they should be paying
my daddy back.

Or did you forget
that you set his boat on fire?

-Nope.
-Of course not.

-Well,
to make sure you never forget,

here's an unfriendly reminder.

-For your information, Jaget,
we've booked two jobs.

-Then I guess you don't have
time to eat these cookies.

Luckily,
I have no plans whatsoever.

-Wait, don't take those.

-Because they're so good.

-Yes, so very good.
-Yum, yum.

-Too bad, so sad,

but me glad.

[gags]
These taste like my socks!

[upbeat music]

-Excuse me.

Hello, science people?

Munchy,
can you get their attention?

-On it.

Butts! Butts! Butts! Butts!
Butts! Butts! Butt--

-Could you please stop
shouting "butts"?

-One more.
Butts!

The floor is yours.

-You must be the KidDING kids.
Sorry to keep you waiting.

Everyone has been working
around the clock

to get this new vitamin test
ready.

-What kind are we taking?
Vitamin A? C? K?

K is my favorite.

-It's a new one we invented.

You see, I work for
the Radish Farmers of America.

-Lucky you!

-[snorting chuckle]

Our new vitamin does
the impossible.

It makes kids want
to eat vegetables.

That way we can
sell more radishes.

-Oh, it's a profit deal.

You corporate fat cats
are all the same.

-So you don't want
to get paid today?

-We do.
-Yes.

-I love fat cats.

-Great.

Let me introduce you
to the scientist

that's been working on this
project for the last two years,

Dr. Proctor.

-I'm very excited
you test subjects are here.

Please have a seat.

Please take the vitamin.

-The vitamin should
take effect immediately

and so could the side effects.

-Wait, what side effects?

-Side effects could include
extreme dizziness, nausea,

swollen ear lobes, et cetera.

-I do not want
to get et cetera.

-You have two plates
in front of you.

In a moment, we're going to ask
you which one you prefer.

Plate number one
is full of fresh vegetables.

-Including radishes,
the raddest of all vegetables.

-Plate number two has--

[together]
Nachos!

-Before you make
your decision,

consider
that delicious plate of--

-Give us the nachos, lady!

-I paid millions of dollars

for a vitamin that makes kids
want to eat nachos?

-Speaking of dollars,
where's ours?

-Would you consider being
paid in radishes?

-Great question.

No.

-We're taking these nachos.

Heard you screaming.

What in the summer squash
is going on?

-Dad, I think we took
a vitamin yesterday

that's making us eat a ton
of vegetables.

-Girls,
this is really serious.

You ate all the ingredients
to my Alan salad.

-What's an Alan salad?
-No, no, no, no, don't ask.

-Glad you asked.

The Alan salad was named
after me, Alan.

You got your Caesar salad,
you got your Cobb salad,

and I want to give the world
the Alan salad.

But you ate my one sh*t

-Do you guys notice
anything different today?

eating vegetables.

But I'm also falling down
a lot.

-Are you okay?

Oh, super dizzy.
-Yeah, me too.

Didn't that lady say
a side effect of the vitamin

could be extreme dizziness?

-This dizziness
definitely feels extreme.

[upbeat music]

-The lab that gave us those
vitamins is closed all weekend.

-Typical fat cat move.

-We need those scientists
to make us better.

[footsteps on stairs]

-A package came for you

and I couldn't help overhearing
that you need a scientist.

Luckily,
I happen to know a great one.

Talkin' about me.

-Yes, Fisher.
We--

-When you say my name,
a rainbow erupts in my heart.

-We took a vitamin
that makes us crave vegetables.

-It also makes us
extremely dizzy.

-It's weird.
The dizziness comes and goes,

but the urge to eat vegetables
is always there.

-Hmm,
let me do an experiment.

Stand, please.

-Uh-oh.
Feeling dizzy again.

-I can fix this.

But I'll need to run tests on
someone who took the vitamin--

someone with the face
of an angel,

a soul that inspires poetry,

grace of a--
-I'll do it.

-What?
No, I was talking about--

-Test away, my young friend.

I always wanted
to donate my body to science.

Hey, buddy, thanks for saying
I have the face of an angel.

-What's in this package?

It's addressed to both of us.

"Enclosed are your dresses

for the birthday party
this afternoon."

Signed Ms. Castillo.

That's today.

stuffing my face with veggies.

-I don't want to see her
at all.

Still talking about that, huh?

-And there you are, Presley.

-Hello, Ms. Castillo.

-You still having trouble
with those silent letters?

-No, because in the real
world, they don't exist.

-Well, I am so happy
you girls are here.

When I found out
about your KidDING business,

I--oh, are you okay?

Why--why are you holding on
to each other?

-Because we support
each other.

-Uh-huh.

And we show our support
by supporting.

That's sweet.

And strange.

Well, Carina is gonna lose
her mind when she sees you.

This is my husband, Felipe.
