02x14 - Thumb and Thumber

[bunniefuu]

-Hello, and welcome to my presentation.

Have you ever wondered how close we are

to paying back my dad for the boat we exploded?

Well, now I can show you in

chart form!

-Whoa! We're so close.

Look, the red is almost to the top!

-Yes!
-Uh, no.

The white is how much of the boat we've paid off.

So we still have this much to go.

-Why would you make a chart like that?

-Because when you have a fever, which is bad,

the temperature goes up.

So the payments, which are good,

make the temperature go down.

-From now on, I'm in charge of charts.

[knocking on door]

-Oh, hey, Dad.

I thought you were hanging
out with your boat buddies today.

-I changed my mind.

It's no fun hanging out with boat buddies

when you don't have a boat.

Speaking of boats,

I saw the Professional
Federation of Thumb Wrestling

is having a tournament in Altoonisburg.

Do you know what the prize is for winning?

-A hug from a panda?

-No. A boat!

-A hug from a boat?

That doesn't make any sense.

-He's talking about winning a boat,

which would mean we wouldn't have

to do any more jobs to pay him back.

-Exactly.

And I heard Presley's an
expert at thumb wrestling.

You should enter that tournament

and win me that boat.

-Tedward, my thumb wrestling past

is something I don't like to talk about.

-Okay. Well, if you're not comfortable--

-I was seven years old.

[dramatic music]

And the number one ranked junior thumb wrestler

in the state.

I called myself

Thumbderstorm!

I was in the championship match

against a jerk named Rago.

-Wait, Rago!

Before you fight, let Mama
kiss your thumb for luck.

-Now my thumb is mighty!

♪ ♪

-Fight!

-I did my signature move,

pretending I had a thumb cramp.

[grunts]

When he tried to pin me,

I surprised him.

But my thumb slipped.

He pinned me and won.

-[laughing harshly]

[laughing in slow motion]

-I was humiliated and vowed
never to compete again.

-I got to admit, I wasn't expecting

such a dramatic thumb wrestling story.

-Presley, it was such a long time ago.

Can't you get back into the ring?

-There's too many painful memories.

Well, really just that
one, but it's very painful.

But I can do the next best thing.

I'll train one of you.

-Oh! Pick me!

-Eh, fine. I don't want to touch

random people's thumbs.

-Yes! You hear that, boys?

We're going to the big leagues.

[upbeat music]

-[sighs]

Maybe I shouldn't have left the big city.

Nothing exciting ever happens here.

Oh, my gosh! Is that pop sensation, ZooZoo?

-Stop asking questions, milk man,

and get her a milkshake stat!

-I need to commandeer this. It's for a celebrity.

What happened?

-This hero saved my life.

I was in the crosswalk on my phone,

just looking at pictures of myself,

and almost got hit by a bookmobile!

-The only thing worse than libraries

are moving libraries.

-He pushed me out of the way at the last second.

How can I repay you? [gasps]

Do you want tickets to my concert?

-Yeah, I'm not really a fan.

-Well, is there anything I
can do to pay you back?

-Knowing the crosswalk is
safe is the only payment I need.

-Okay.

-Wait!

I want a dune buggy.

-For real?

-I've always wanted a dune buggy

to patrol the crosswalks all around Altoonisburg.

-Sounds dumb.

But if that's what you
want, that's what you'll get.

-I also want a hammerhead shark to go--

-You get one thing.

-Dune buggy it is.

[upbeat music]

-My old thumb wrestling trunk.

I haven't opened this since I was seven.

Me on the cover of "Thumb Wrestling Insider."

They called me an "up-and-thumber."

I have everything in here I need

to turn Munchy into a champion.

-Ooh, and I'll create a thumb
wrestling costume for him.

-Oh, great idea.

Thumb wrestling is % having a great costume,

% thumb strength,

and % agility.

-That's too many percents.

-I'm sorry, was your thumb on the cover

of "Thumb Wrestling Insider?"

Mm, didn't think so.

Now let's get to work.

because I'm about to blow their minds.

Let me introduce you to your new character.

You're no longer Munchy from Altoonisburg.

-I'm not?

-No. You're from the Australian outback.

Your best friend is a kangaroo.

You're...

Crocodile Thumbdee!

-Wow!

Or should I say

[with Australian accent] crikey.

[upbeat music]

-Welcome, thumb wrestlers.

Sign up for the tournament here!

The grand prize is this boat!

-G'day, mate.

G'day, mate.

Put another shrimp on the barbie!

Look at that boat!

Crocodile Thumbdee reporting for duty.

-Make way for the champion!

-Is that Rago, the guy you lost to?

-Yep. That's him.

And his weird mom.

-Well, well, well, if it isn't Thumbderstorm,

all grown up.

Please tell me you're entering the tournament.

I would love to destroy you once again.

[laughing]

-She's not competing.

I am.

And you're going down

-We don't have to wait
for the tournament to start

in your American gymnasium.

We can thumb dance right now. Come!

Let's have a friendly practice match, huh?

-Munchy, no--
-Munchy, yes.

-Mama, kiss my thumb for luck.

-Anything for my precious baby.

[bones cr*ck]
-Ah!

Crikey!

-The pain will eventually fade,

but the humiliation will last forever!

Come, Rago!

-Munchy, are you okay?

-[in normal voice] Who has a broken thumb

and needs to go to the hospital?

This guy--

[whimpering in pain]

You wrote, "Feel bet?"

-Well, I wanted to write "Feel better,"

but your thumb cast is just too small.

-I wish somebody could take Rago down.

-I know who can do it.

-Santa.
-Vin Diesel?

-No.

Thumbderstorm!

K-kew!

-I told you, my thumb wrestling days are over.

-No, you got to do it.

-Avenge me.

-But more importantly,

avenge your seven-year-old self.

-Yeah. Do it for me.

You know what?

Young me is right!

Let's do this!
-Whoo!

-Give me that thumb cape.

[thunder rumbles]

I've missed you, old friend.

[upbeat music]

-Hey, you! Look both ways!

Yes, this is a new dune buggy.

No, I'm not a professional model,

but thanks for asking.

And that's how I imagine my
first day in my new dune buggy.

-So you like it? Great.

I'm out of here.

-I like it, but I don't love it.

There are some extra features I need,

and I know the perfect kid for the job.

-Hey, Jaget. So what's so important that I--

Whoa!

You're pop sensation, ZooZoo!

-[chuckling] Please, please.

Call me international pop sensation, ZooZoo.

-Sweet dune buggy, ZooZoo.

-It's mine.

And you're here to make some modifications.

I jotted a few things down.

-Flame thrower, ejector seat,

invisibility mode?

-Come on, Science Kid.

Do your science stuff on my dune buggy,

and ZooZoo will pay you.

-Fine. Whatever gets me out of here.

I'm starting to wish that bookmobile hit me.

-Hey, Munchy, have you checked the weather?

-Yup, and there's a Thumbderstorm coming!

-Yeah! Whoo!

Go, Thumbderstorm!

-I know her!

-The champion is here.

Show respect, weaklings!

-I'm glad you came out of retirement.

Now I'm going to break you.

Just like I broke your friend's thumb.

-Hey, you did amazing today at the competition.

Just one more win and we get that boat,

and no more KidDINGs.

-Yeah, but I'm up against Rago.

He drove me out of the sport
and crushed Munchy's thumb.

Plus, I'm getting a lot of pressure from Tedward.

He keeps leaving me voice messages.

[voicemail tone plays]
-Presley!

Congrats on making it to the finals!

Don't lose.

I need that boat.

-Rago is a Cheaty McCheaty Pants!

-What are you talking about?

-I filmed his matches today
looking for a weakness.

You know how his mom kisses
his thumb before every match?

-It's weird.
-So gross.

-Well, she's not just kissing it for luck.

Look.

[crowd cheering]

-Thumb grease?

-Thumb grease is illegal.

It makes your thumb impossible to pin.

That must be how Rago b*at me when I was seven.

-And why my thumb slipped off and he pinned me.

-Okay, guys, all we have to do

is tell the ref that Rago is a cheat.

He'll be like, "Rago is

out!"

He'll be disqualified, and you
can win that boat for Tedward.

-No. I need to prove to
myself that I can b*at him.

-But his mom is just gonna
kiss grease on his thumb.

-Then we'll just have to make sure

she doesn't get the chance.
