- (in robot voice): Neigh!
Richard the Third.

Does not compute.

- Greetings, people of earth!
I'm Peg, this is Cat,

and we're back
on the Purple Planet,

to see our good friend, Richard!

- It's so good
to see you!

- Richard invited us to his
family picnic!

- Yeah!
- At his beautiful ranch!

- Are you going to introduce us
to your family, Richard?

- Maybe let's not, or
something... Okay, sounds good!

- What's the matter?
- Well, my family

is great and all, but they're
always comparing stuff.

- Comparing?
- It's when you point out

what's the same
and what's different.

- My mom would say,
"You're taller than Cat!"

And my dad would say,
"You're purpler than Richard!"

And I don't want to be
compared to anyone.

- You don't have to be
compared to anyone, Richard.

After all, there's
only one Richard.

- Actually, about that...

- Peg, Cat, this is my dad,
Richard.

- Well, howdy, y'all!
- My mom, Richard.

- So nice to meet you!

- My brother, Richard.
- Sup.

- And my sister, Richard.
- Hey!

- So what were you saying about
there's only one Richard?

- They're all named Richard!

- We're so thrilled
that you kids could join us!

There's going to be
all kinds of games!

- Robopony races...
- Roboponies!

Every little robo girl's dream!

- Milking the Cowalas...
- They're a mix between
a cow and a koala!

- Thus filling a void
I never knew existed.

- And of course,
the Flexibull.

(snorting)
- (Peg and Cat): Whoa!

- So how long have you guys
known Richard the Third?

- Richard the what?
(laughing)

- Third! When three things
are in order,

instead of one two three,

you can say
first, second, third.

But why do you guys call him
"the Third"?

- N-no need to explain,
really...

- 'Cause he's always
third at everything!

♪♪ We're Richards, we three ♪

♪ Him, her, and me ♪

♪ It's a name that
we all have to share ♪

- ♪ So we find
little things which ♪

♪ Help us distinguish

- ♪ He's not the jock
- And he's not the nerd ♪

- ♪ I'm Richard!
Just Richard ♪

- ♪ That's right!
Just Richard the Third ♪

- I'm third in everything.

I wish I could be first,
even second!

- If we can get you
to place first or second

in any of the games today,

you won't have to be
Richard the Third anymore!

- But Peg, placing anything
but third won't be easy.

Look!
- Hmm, third place,

third place... Again third.

- Getting Richard
to place anything else

is a way bigger pblem
than I thought!

- Would you say that
it's even a--

- It is...a really big problem!

(trumpets sounding)

- The games are starting.
Let's get this over with.

- Well, buckaroos, is everybody
ready to pony up and race?

- (jock Richard): Oh, yeah!
- (nerd Richard): Uh-huh!

- (Richard): Eh...
- Y'all know the rules;

Pick your pony and race
to the finish line!

- And the rider who came in
third last year gets first pick!

- Anyone remember
who was third last year?

- Richard the Third
was third,

I was first,
she was second.

- No, I was first,
you were second!

- Like squat I was!
- Richard said "squat"!

- Uh, what's wrong with squat?
- Squat sounds silly!

- My squat sounds sillier
than his squat.

- Your squat's not squat.

- I can't stand
all the comparing.

I'll just pick a horse.

- That's it, Richard! You can
use comparing to win this race!

- Really?
- Do go on!

- If you want to win,
compare the ponies

to see which one's the fastest.

- Great idea, Peg! Yippee!

- The fastest robopony is the
one with the longest legs.

So compare the lengths
of their legs!

- Let's get a-leg measuring!

- , space-units long!

- Nice calves.
- Actually, they're ponies.

- , , space-units long!

- And is longer than !

- , , , space-units long!

- Whoa, that's
a lot of leg!

- is long, is longer,

but is the longest!

- Then saddle up, partner
You've got a race to win!

- On your marks...

Get set... Race!

- Oh, no! They're not even
using their legs!

- They never did that before!
- Well, they've been upgraded
to version . !

- And Richard takes first,
followed by Richard

in a close second, with Richard
bringing up the rear.

- I came in third again!

- Hey, there's always
the next event!

- The cowala milk-off!
- The who-ala what-off?

- It's like milking a cow...

...but messier.
- Ew!

- Sorry.
- Whoever fills the most buckets

by the time the buzzer
rings wins!

- And, Richard, since you
placed third last year,

you get to pick which cowala
you want to milk!

- Okay, Richard,
let's compare.

- What do we compare?
- What's that blue stuff?

- That's their feed cubes.

We give them each a boxful;

they eat some, and turn it
into milk that squirts out.

(spitting up)

- So the cowala who
eats the most feed

will make the most milk!
- Right!

- This first cowala's hardly
touched her cubes.

- This second cowala's
had some of her cubes,

but there are still
a lot left.

- This one's almost finished
her whole box of cubes!

- So in terms of
who's the best eater,

they're first, second,
and third.

- I'm going with the one
who ate the most.

She's all ready
to make the most milk!

- Okay, everybody,
squat beside your cowala.

- Ha ha ha! Squat...

- On your marks...
Get set...Milk!

- Whoa-oh-oh!

- Time's up! Udders down.

- I got two buckets full!
- I got four buckets full!

- I got zero buckets full.

- So Richard took first place
with the most milk,

followed by Richard,
who has less milk.

- And finally, Richard,
you have the least milk,

you're in third place.

- But I have the most milk
on me...

- In the bucket, son.
In the bucket.

(sighing)

- No, no, son, I just meant the
milk had to be in the bucket.

- (Peg): Richard,
I know you're upset,

but your parents said there's
still one more event.

(trumpets sounding)
And it's already starting!

- What's the point?
I'm Richard the Third, Peg.

- Third in everything,
and I always will be.

(sobbing)

- Oh, no! Richard's seriously
sad...and stressed!

- And covered in
cowala milk!

- I can't stand
to see my friend cry!

I am totally freaking out!

(whistling)

- Cat's right. I should
count my fingers backwards,

from my fifth to my first,
to calm down.

- Fifth, fourth,
third, second...

...FIRST!

That's it, you
making-me-shout-out-"first" Cat!

- Huh?
- Richard, do you realize

you were the first space alien
we ever met?

- I...I was?
- Yep!

And we were there
for your first Halloween!

- (Cat): Ha ha ha!
We thought you were a tiger!

- (Peg): And how about the time
you were first in line

at the Yellow Store? Or directed
your first show at Radio City?

- Man, you were a terror.
- Good times.

- To me, you'll always be
Richard the First.

- But we'll just call you
Richard. It's easier.

- Aww thanks, guys.
Now let's get to that bull pen!

- Richard, you're up next!

- Your brother stayed on
for seconds.

-.Your sister for .
- Now it's up to you

to stay on for the longest time.

- No. Mom, Dad,

- I don't want to be compared
to anyone anymore.

- You see, I have a dream.

A dream where Richards
of all shapes, sizes,

and arm-lengths can live in
harmony-- Whoa!

- Start the clock, here we go!

- Whoa, yeah, whoa!
Oh, man! Ouchie, Yikes!

- Hang on, Richard!

If you stay on
the longest, you win!

- seconds!
A new Richard record!

(all cheering)

- So how's it feel to be
Richard the First, son?

- Honestly, I just
want to be Richard.

- Richard's right.
There are so many special things

about each of us, I don't think
we need to compare ourselves

to each other all the time.

- But how do we
tell each other apart?

coming this way!

- (Peg): It's the teenagers, and
they're loaded with marbles!

- Welcome to our
lemonade stand, customers.

Cat and I are pleased
to offer you a glass

of our famous lemonade
for just ten marbles.

- Lemonade is SO in right now.

- But, like, just one teensy cup
for ten marbles... Hello?

- Apologize-ations Peg,

but I can't spend ten marbles
on just one cup of lemonade.

That's all my marbles!

- So, stay cool!
- We're outtie.

- (gasping): Teens love
to buy stuff!

- But they didn't
buy our lemonade!

So we didn't
get any marbles!

We've got a big problem!

- The teens think ten marbles
is too much to pay

for one glass of lemonade.
Nine's less than ten.

So instead of ten,

let's sell a cup of lemonade
for nine marbles!

- It's so crazy,
it just might work!

- Let's compare
nine marbles to ten,

so they'll see that
our lemonade costs less now.

- Uh, right...

- Comparing is showing how
two things are different.
- Right!

- Ice-cold lemonade! Now only
nine marbles a glass!

- (Cat): Only nine marbles? Wow!

- I am comparing nine to ten

and realizing that
it sure is less!

- They're still not buying.
- What are they waiting for?

- Us to go lower,
I guess. So...

- ♪ Five little marbles is
way less than nine ♪

- ♪ That's not much at all,
For lemonade this fine ♪

- ♪ Only five marbles
for our tasty drink ♪

- ♪It sure doesn't stink ♪
Noo!

- Two is even less than five.

Is it worth lowering
the price to--

- Only two marbles
for one glass of lemonade?

- Sounds like something
just went on sale!

- Lemonade me, bro!

- I'm texting
all our friends about it!

- And they're texting
