- This is a big
Responsibility, jessica.
I don't let just anyone
Take care of t.d.
- I know all about being
Responsible.
I take care of of
My neighbor's houseplants
And an ant farm.
- Ant farm.
Ant farm.
- T.d. Likes to mic
What he hears sometimes.
- Mics what he hears.
- Ha ha ha!
- Don't worry, mr. Barber.
T.d. Is in good hands.
I've done a lot of research
On african grey parrots.
Do you know they can live
Up to years?
- Oh, really? That's crazy.
I guess that's why
They call them grey.
- I am very impressed,
Jessica,
But, please, don't call me
Mr. Barber.
Call me tiki.
- Ok. Ha ha!
- I'm going to go run
Some errands.
T.d. Squawks a lot,
So if he gets too loud,
Just take this sheet,
Throw it over top of him.
- Right.
- Goes right to sleep.
- Ha!
-
Good morning.
- Oh.
-
Morning.
- That is a good trick,
Mr. Barber. I mean, tiki.
- I'll see you
In a couple hours, t.d.
- See you in a couple hours.
- I do love that parrot.
- See you later, tiki.
Ha! I can't believe
Your first pet-sitting job
Is for tiki barber!
- I know, and I don't want
Anything to happen that makes me
Look irresponsible.
If I can prove myself
As a responsible pet-sitter,
I'll get a great reputation
And more customers.
I even have a slogan:
"Jessica ruiz pet-sitting.
You run, I sit."
- Jess, ok, check it out.
So we got big tiki,
And we got
Baby tiki. Oh!
- No, no. T.d.'S cage
Is looking really dirty.
Maybe I should clean it up
Before tiki gets home.
You know, uh,
Really impress him.
- Yeah, whatever.
You know how I always say--
There's nothing more impressive
Than a kid cleaning bird poo.
Take it away, jess.
Oh.
No!
- Oh, no!
No! T.d.! Come back!
Oh.
Hey, you guys!
-
Oh, oh, oh, come on, yeah!
Feel the power!
Feel the power!
Feel the power!
Yo! And plug it in!
It's electric
Electric company!
Electric company!
Electric company!
Electric company!
-
Yo, yo, yo, yo!
The power we perfected
Is electrically connected
So use it as directed
And expect to be respected
-
Just turn it on
And you will see
That you belong
In the company!
Feel the power! - Oh, feel
The power! - Feel the
Power! - Yo! And plug it in!
-
Plug it in, everybody!
-
Electric company!
Electric company!
Electric company!
-
Electric company!
-
You guys,
I have to find that parrot.
He can be in danger.
So could my reputation
As a responsible pet-sitter.
- Maybe he was kidnapped by
A collector of rare birds.
- Except, from what I read,
African greys aren't rare.
They're a very common housepet.
- Maybe he flew down south.
Maybe we should just be
Searching downtown.
- I don't think
Pet parrots migrate.
- Hold on. Maybe I could
Pick up some clues.
- There's nothing
More impressive than
A kid cleaning bird poo.
Take it away, jess. Oh!
- There! You heard that sound.
- It sounds like
A bird squawking.
- That squawking is
The african grey's mating call.
That's what we heard out
The window just before
T.d. Flew away.
- Oh, maybe t.d. Has
A girlfriend.
- Play it again.
- Oh, no! No! T.d.!
- You see, there's another sound
In the background.
It sounds almost like laughter.
- So someone mimicked
A bird squawk, recorded it,
And then played it back.
- You're right. And it sounds
Like it's on a loop.
- It sounds like the work
Of manny spamboni.
- Mm-hmm.
- Boni's phone-y.
- Manny, where's the parrot?
- Parrot? I don't know what
You're talking about.
- Manny, we hear squawking
In the background.
- Fine. I know exactly what
You're talking about.
Meet me at the basketball court
In minutes. We'll discuss.
-
- Ight.
- Ight.
- Bright.
-
Oh, right-ight-ight
That's right-ight-ight
It's all right-ight-ight
Whoo, that's tight
Sometimes things just
Don't look right
We get mixed up,
Day becomes night
But on the other side of night
Is the dawn's early light
With the light we just might
Improve our sight
Think through a problem,
You will never lose a fight
Stretch out your brain,
And you'll always shine bright
Oh, right-ight-ight
That's right-ight-ight
Ooh, that's tight
Oh, right-ight-ight
Well, that's
Right-ight-ight
To shine bright
Ight, ight, ight!
Tight!
Ight, ight, i-light!
Ight, ight, i-might!
Ight, ight, ight, frighten!
-
Ight, ight, ight!
Bullfight!
Ight, ight!
Ight, ight, ight, ight!
- It turns out that i-g-h-t
Makes the same sound as i-t-e.
How could you do that
To me, i-g-h-t?
It's just not polite.
I can fly my kite,
My white kite,
Without i-g-h-t.
My kite can take flight
Without i-g-h-t.
Oh, man.
You mean, my kite can't
Take flight without i-g-h-t?
That's not right!
Some things
You just can't fight.
- Hello, josephine.
- Hi, mrs. Dwight.
I'm raising money
For my school.
Want to buy a light?
- Josephine, your lighthouse
Is too bright.
- Well, then, how about
Your very own knight?
- This knight would
Frighten mr. Dwight.
- Oh, right.
How about this night?
- I love this night.
I'll take two.
- All right.
- Rr.
- Ight.
- Frr.
- Ight.
- Sss.
- Ight.
- Ll.
- Ight.
- Brr.
- Ight.
- Nn.
- Ight.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Where is he?
- "Play me."
- Sorry, electric company,
But t.d. And I had
To fly the coop.
See you when I see you.
Ha ha ha ha!
- Ohh! Man,
He is so frustrating!
- But this recording is proof
That manny stole the parrot.
We'll play this for tiki,
And he'll know the truth.
- Yeah.
- Come on.
- And if you're thinking
Of playing this for tiki,
Think again.
This recorder will
Self-destruct in ,
, , , ,
, , , , .
- Oh!
- Ok, I thought that was
Going to be much bigger.
- Yeah.
- We need to find that parrot.
- Which means we need
To find manny.
- Yeah. Come on. Let's go.
- Ha ha ha ha!
My plan is coming
Together perfectly.
Soon, jessica's reputation
Will be ruined,
And I will be the ruler
Of my own pet-sitting empire!
Ha ha ha ha!
Plus I will be b.f.
With mr. Tiki barber. Ha ha!
Go, tiki. Go, barber.
Go, manny spamboni.
- I thought we were b.f.
- You know, you're great,
But we're talking
About tiki barber.
He's a legend!
- I don't know
Who you are anymore.
- Oh.
- Oh, no.
Look, it's mr. Barber.
I mean, tiki.
All right, guys. Manny's going
To have to feed t.d.,
So lisa and hector, go
To donatella's store.
It's the only one in
The neighborhood that carries
Bird seed for african greys.
- Got it.
- What about me?
- You go to manny's house
And see if he's there,
And I'm going to tell tiki
What happened.
- All right. Good luck.
- Thanks.
- He's kind of a big guy,
Shaved head,
Usually travels with
A little mean robot.
- Oh, yes!
He had a small, very strong cup
Of coffee. Espresso.
They were here
About minutes ago
Buying a big bag of grey
African parrot bird seed.
- Did he say
Where he was going?
- Yes, he did.
He said, "let's go, robot.
We go to the e.d."
- The e.d.?
What could that be?
- Ear doctor?
- Espresso deliveryman.
- Elephant dentist.
- Espresso deliverywoman.
- Electric diner.
- That's it.
Ok, thank you.
- Hey, you want some biscottii
Or coffee for the road?
- Oh, we're good. Thank you!
- Ciao, electric company guys.
-
Ok.
Um, so t.d. Flew out.
No, ok.
Um, he ran away--no.
That just doesn't make sense.
Ok, t.d., He didn't mean to--
Oh. Oh.
Hey, tiki.
Uh, back so soon?
- Yeah! It's almost time
For the best show on tv--
"Judge trudy."
- "Judge trudy"?
- Yeah. T.d. And I have
A great sense of...justice.
How did everything go?
- Uh, ok. Well,
Everything went--
- T.d., Daddy's home.
- Uh, sir, there's something
I have to tell you.
- What's up?
- I was cleaning
Out t.d.'S cage,
And he escaped...
Out the window.
- What?! My t.d.,
Out the win--
- Yeah, I'm so sorry.
I just--
- He has no money,
No food, no tiki.
Oh, my!
We got to go find him.
Who are you?
- Mr. Barber,
This is your house?
- Of course it is. - Mr. Barber,
I think I have something
You've been looking for.
- Oh! T.d.! Oh!
Come here, buddy.
How you doing?
- Oh, he's fine.
- Who are you?
- Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is manny spamboni.
Oh! Jessica.
What a surprise.
- Cut the act, manny.
- Mr. Barber,
We were very lucky.
I found poor t.d.
In a park with a bunch
Of rough-looking pigeons,
But I swooped in
And saved him.
Looks like somebody was
A very irresponsible pet-sitter.
Good thing manny spamboni
Was there to pick up
The pieces.
- Uh-uh. That's not true.
This is a frame job.
Manny's just trying
To make me look bad.
- That is ridiculous!
Tiki, I would like to offer
My own pet-sitting services
Because when you run, I sit.
- I like that!
That's a good slogan.
- That's my slogan!
This isn't fair!
- Life isn't fair.
- Don't I know it.
- This isn't right.
I feel like I'm being
Judged without a trial.
- Wait. You're saying we should
Hear both sides of the argument
And then figure out
Who's responsible?
- Yeah! Like a fair trial.
- Justice.
I like that idea.
We have to get
To the bottom of this,
So both of you present
Your cases
And I'll be the judge.
- Trial by tiki?
-
Trial by tiki.
- Old school
- Right
About now
- Old school

- Welcome to "tiki's court."
Today's case--
Jessica versus manny.
Let the trial begin.
All rise for the honorable
Judge tiki barber.
- Are you both ready
With your cases?
- Yes, your honor.
-
Clean up that seed.
- Not right now, t.d., Ok?
Manny spamboni,
You may begin.
- Thank you, your most
Honorable of honors.
Jessica, in a completely
Irresponsible act,
Lost the bird,
And I found him.
I rest my case.
- That's not true.
You stole him.
- How could I have stolen him
When I was nowhere near
This legend of
The gridiron's apartment
At the time of the crime?
Truth is, you opened the cage,
And t.d. Flew out.
Isn't that true?
- Yeah, but you made
That machine that mics
Birds squawking.
You sent out
A mating call to t.d.,
Who flew the coop
Looking for love.
- I did no such thing!
- Order in the court!
- Order in the court.
Clean up that seed.
- Bird-attracting machine,
You say?
Sounds like something right out
Of a science-fiction comic book,
Doesn't it, your honor?
Ha ha ha ha!
Tell me, where is
This magical piece
Of technology, hmm?
- It self-destructed!
You should know!
You're the one
Who set it to explode.
- Exploded?
How convenient.
Truth is,
You were irresponsible.
You lost the bird, and now
You're trying to blame it
On someone else.
Do you deny it?
- Yeah, but you're
Trying to set me up
And steal my business.
Your honor,
You have to believe me.
I am a very responsible person.
- I'd like to believe you,
Jessica,
But you haven't
Shown me any proof.
- Any proof.
Clean up that seed.
Clean up that seed.
Clean up that seed.
Clean up that seed.
- I got it. Keith.
- On my way.
- Jessica, if you
Have any more evidence,
You should present it now.
- Your honor, I do have
New evidence that will
Affect this trial,
Which will be here
Any minute,
But in the meantime,
I wish to make a statement.
- Your awesomeness,
This is outrageous!
- Highly unusual.
- Highly unusual.
Clean up that seed.
- I'll allow it.
-
-
Some people try
To fool you
So let me try
And school you
On what you should
And shouldn't believe
You can't be sure
Of what you see and hear
Sometimes things are not
As they appear
You have to be smart,
You have to be clear
'Cause looks,
They can deceive
You have to look
A little harder
Dig a little deeper
Get the whos, the whats
The wheres, and the whys
You have to answer
All the questions
Question all the answers
To separate the truth
From the lies
The truth is often twisted
And liars are assisted
By talking just
A little too loud
- Blah, blah, blah, blah!
-
And here's
Another thing they do
They repeat a lie
Till it seems true
And at that point
It's up to you to
Stand up to the crowd
You have to look
A little harder
Dig a little deeper
Get the whos, the whats
The wheres, and the whys
You have to answer
All the questions
Question all the answers
To separate the truth
From the lies
- Manny!
- Mommy?
- Uh-oh.
- I thought I told you
To clean up that seed.
- Clean up that seed.
- Ai, mommy!
- You made that mess,
And it's your responsibility
To clean it up.
- Clean up that seed.
-
Tiki barber?
I love you!
Why didn't you tell me
Tiki barber was here?
Hello, tiki.
I am manny's mother.
- It's nice to meet you.
-
When you smile,
There's music.
- I know.
Well, now, given this wealth
Of new evidence,
I find jessica not guilty.
- Yes! - No! - And I sentence
You to clean up
That seed like I told you to!
- But, ma!
- Clean up that seed.
Clean up that seed.
- Enough of that, t.d.
It's getting
A little annoying.
- Jess, how did you know
That t.d. Was micking
Manny's mom?
- Well, I figured he must
Have picked up the phrase
When he was with manny,
And there's only one person
In the world who knows how
To boss him around.
- I want to be able to eat off
The floor when you're finished.
- Mommy!
- And your little metal friend
Is going to be
Right there with you.
- Please, can you help
A robot out?
- Nice meeting you, tiki.
-
- Captain cluck!
- Yo.
- My bull is mad,
And my cow is sad.
- Fear not,
Gentle farmer. Right.
I think they're sad because
You labeled these signs wrong.
Poultry patrol!
- Oh, wow!
- See?
The bull's a he,
And the cow's a she.
- Oh, thank you,
Captain cluck.
Want to help me fix the rest
Of the he/she signs?
- Call my mother. We're going
To be late for dinner.
-
- I'm special agent
Jack bowser.
It's halloween night at
The candycorn factory.
This place is about to explode,
And I can't cr*ck
The code to get out.
Help me read this.
- All right, mr. Favre.
So I'll be there at :
To walk sparky.
No, no, thank you.
- Favre? Jessica, that is
Really impressive.
- Yeah, I know.
I already have clients today.
- You're building quite
The reputation.
- Oh.
Jessica ruiz pet-sitting.
Well, hello to you, sir!
It's brian urlacher,
The toughest guy in the league!
How can I help you
Today, sir?
Oh, what's your dog's name,
Bruno or butch? t*nk?
I see.
And is that fluffnstuff
With fs or ?
, Ok. I--i gotcha.
I'll be there. Bye.
- Hey, guys. It's hector here
From the electric company.
You know, the thing I love
Most about our neighborhood
Is the people.
Folks from all over live here.
In fact, some of our friends
Came all the way
Form another planet.
- I am from the planet skyleki.
- They're called skylekians.
For the most part,
They're just like us
Except for a few small things.
- Would you like
To smell my feet?
- Like fresh
Chocolate chip cookies.
- You can always
Spot skylekians
By the unique
Necklaces they wear.
- Blllbblll!
- But the coolest thing
About the skylekians
Is all their awesome gadgets.
In fact, one of the skylekians,
Dax, has a machine
That can shrink people down
Smaller than ants.
You might think it's funny
That we have aliens in our hood,
But once you've met
Some of our other friends,
You'll see that
The skylekians fit right in.
- What was that?
- Excuse me.
- The electric company
Is never too far away,
So keep tuning in.
- I take care of
Of my neighbors' ant plants.
Well--
- Love "ant plants."
- I'm gonna rrr--
- I cannot believe that
Your first pet-sitting job
Is for tiki barber!
- I know, and I don't want
Anything to let happ--
I don't want anything
To happen--to let--what?
- Maybe he flew down south.
- I don't think pet--pir--
Parrots migrate.
Pet pirate--pet parrots.
- Yeah. You know what I always
Say? Nothing is more
Impressive than a little kid
Cleaning up dird poo.
"Dird poo."That makes sense.
