[timer ticking]

- Nice and easy.

Nice and slow.

[timer dings]

Soufflés can be very, very temperamental.

- Hey, Angus!

I'd like to introduce you to my new buddy, Buddy.

Buddy just moved to Orangefield with his dad.

- Oh, yeah? Whereabouts? - Across the street

from that cow who moos like a chicken.

- May I just say, sir,

I am a big fan of the post office,

if no one said it today. Heh-heh.

Thank you for your service.

- Oh, that's, uh, quite a handshake, son.

- That's quite a beard, sir! - [chuckles]

- Wow! This is, like, the coolest ship ever!

[gasps]

What's that?

- Parker, you said you'd clean that up.

- Sorry, Angus.

I had so much fun with my friend Lily yesterday,

and sometimes, when I get really,

really happy, I "rainblow."

- As in? - Rain-blow chunks.

Toss my colors. You know, ralph rainbows.

- Blimey!

Doh! Gotta go now. - Later, new friend!

- Oh! Did you hear, Father?

The cloud makes rainbows.

Just like you thought!

- Best believe it, boy!

And every leprechaun knows at the end of a rainbow

there's a pot of gold!

♪ We're gonna be rich ♪

both: ♪ We're gonna be rich, we're gonna be rich ♪

- I can't take you serious with that ridiculous disguise on.

Now that we look civilized, we can get down to business.

- What's the plan, Father?

- We need to find out what makes this cloud happy.

It's the only way to get the rainbow.

We get the rainbow...

- We get the gold!

- Ha! Let's visit this "Lily."

- Puppies. Ice cream. Rubber band fights.

Jujitsu. Unitards. Parker's happy a lot.

- But what's the one thing that makes Parker super happy?

- Besides puppies, ice cream--

- Oh, for gold sake! - Oh-oh-oh!

- You're blowing it, boy!

Find out what makes this cloud jump for joy already.

- I'm trying, Father. - Excuse me.

- Oh, dear.

- Rollercoasters.

- What about 'em? Ow!

I mean, uh, rollercoasters. They make Parker happy?

- Uh-huh.

Pretty much every ride at the Orangefield Fairgrounds.

- Like, so happy Parker might,

uh, you know, "rainblow"?

- This is amazing. [retches]

- Yup.

- Thanks for your help! Doh!

Ahh! Oh! Ohh! Augh!

[groaning]

- Hmm.

- Is it me or did I just master baking?

- Hi, Angus. - Ahh!

- Is Parker here? - No, Lily.

The little nimbus is with a new friend, Buddy.

- Hmm. You know where? - I do not.

- Hmm. What do you know about this new friend of Parker's?

- I know he's a big fan of the post office.

And he just moved here with his dad.

- And? - Uh.

Oh! Well, he--he likes beards. Stand-up kid.

- Hmm. Did you meet his dad? - No.

- Hmm. So you don't know where Parker is,

but you do know Parker's with a new friend

who likes mail and facial hair

and whose parents you've never met, not once.

- Think Russell and I are gonna pay a visit to Buddy's dad.

- I mean, only if you want to.

- Now where did Parker say this kid lived again?

- [clucking] Right.

No need to tell him I didn't bake the soufflé myself, right?

- [screeches] - Good girl.

[banging at door]

Well, I guess that's one way to make a first impression.

Hello?

What in the world?

[leprechauns cackling]

I don't like the looks of this, Russell.

Not one bit.

- [whimpering]

- Hmm. What do you think it means, girl?

Uh-huh. Yeah. I'm with ya.

[coins clinking] Okay.

- [cackling]

[engine revving]

Holy shamrock!

Leprechauns are trying to make Parker rainblow

so they can steal the kid's gold!

Wait, Parker can make gold?

Ooh, this Buddy character. He duped me real good, Russell.

And if there's one thing I hate, it's the old duperoo!

We gotta go find Parker.

[gasps] Leprechaun!

[upbeat carnival music]

- Rollercoasters are my favorite!

- Ya hear that, Father?

- Ha-ha! Get ready for the gold!

both: We're gonna be rich! We're gonna be rich!

- I'm so excited!

[thunder cracking] both: Ahh!

That was awesome! Let's do that again!

- The cloud better rainblow this time!

- The cloud will, Father! The cloud will!

[thunder cracking] - Whee!

- Ya feel happy yet?

- Yeah! Again!

[giggling] Again! Again!

Again! Again!

- Why won't this cloud just rainblow?

[thunder cracking]

- Alley-oop! Ow!

Oh, this is all my fault, Russell.

I let my best buddy run off with a total

and complete stranger.

I'm supposed to protect Parker, not serve the little nimbus up

to greedy, gold-digging leprechauns!

[both sobbing]

- [blows nose]

Oh!

- Hi, Angus. - Lily!

You'll never believe this, but Parker's new friend is a--

- Leprechaun? I know.

- How'd you know? - It's pretty obvious.

Come on, I know where Parker is.

- Let's go get our little buddy back!

Ahh!

- Ahh!

[upbeat carnival music]

- Ooh. Ah!

Look at how weird I look in this mirror, Buddy!

- I thought rollercoasters make you happy.

- Boy, do they! - Then rainblow already!

- [gasps]

Buddy, there's an angry little man under your coat.

- I'm the boy's father, ye dolt!

- You're Buddy's father? Nice to meet you, sir!

- This is going to be anything but nice.

- Aw, that's a super cute flute!

[flute music]

♪ ♪

- This is gonna be like finding a needle in a haystack.

No time to show off, Lily. We gotta find Parker.

- [snorting] Russell found a scent!

Good job, girl!

[both cackling]

- Whoo! [laughs] Buddy, sweet beard, my man.

Whew...whew...ahh...

hey, I can't move.

- That's because I've immobilized you

with my magic flute! Not so cute now, is it?

- Look at the tiny little holes!

Be-boop! Be-boop! Ba-beep-boop-boop-boop!

Be-boop-boop! Look at my hand.

It looks like a whale.

[gasps] Look at my other hand!

"Hmm, I love cheeseburgers. Chomp, chomp."

"Whale." [gulps] "That was tasty."

Ahh!

Ohh, heh.

- How much "magic flute" did you use, Father?

- Enough lollygaggin', cloud!

Give up the rainbow! Go on! Spew it!

- A rainbow? That's all you guys want?

Okay!

Did it happen? both: No!

- Sometimes I can't do it if people are watching.

Mind, uh...

[gurgling]

It's not working. I need to be really happy to rainblow.

both: We know!

- Hi, Angus! [both gasp]

- Parker! - Grab the gold!

They're onto us!

[laughter]

- Hey!

[laughter]

Hand over the cloud! Now!

- See ye later, suckers! - Hi, Russell!

- Ow. - Ow!

- Let us out of here, ye dolt!

- Good girl!

- Oh, this won't be the last time you see Bud and Buddy!

- Tell 'em, Father!

- Well I just did, ye dolt! - Parker, mallet, please.

- Sure thing, Angus!

- Leprechaun!

- So who were those guys? They seemed grouchy.

- Parker, they were leprechauns.

Remember?

The ones that kidnapped you and tried to force you to rainblow

so they could steal your gold? Ha!

As if you could just make gold.

- I was kidnapped by leprechauns? Sounds scary!

- Parker, we rescued you just five minutes ago.

- You--you rescued me? That makes me so ha...

[retches]

[coin clanging]

[both gasping]

- Wait, we're at the Fairgrounds?

I love rollercoasters, especially the Gravitron,

the Tilt-o-Whirl, the Smack-a-Clown.

Who wants to go on a ride?

[saw sawing]

- Ooh!

[metal clanging]

- Oh! [drill whirring]

- He's been in there an awful long time, girl.

Think the big guy's gonna pull through?

- Ahh! I'm not gonna make it!

- [groans]

- It's okay, girl.

If anyone can fix Angus, it's Lily.

- Hmm. Tweezers. All right, I'm going in.

- [whimpering]

- This is one of the worst cases

of "weird beard" I've ever seen.

Now hold still.

- Ow!

- I can't stand to hear my best bud in so much pain.

Can I get an inside hug, girl?

- [groans]

- Well, that was a bust.

Chain saw.

[chain saw revving]

- Nope.

- Is it something I said?

Oops.

- Don't look at me, Russell.

I'm a monster!

[sobbing]

[chain saw revving]

- Is it over already?

- Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do.

I'm afraid he's going to have a bad beard day.

[thunder booming]

- Oh, poor Angus. - What's in the box, Parker?

- Oh! I found it way down in Russell's belly.

It says "Top Secret" on it.

We probably shouldn't open it, though.

You know, because, uh, it says "Top Secret."

- "To my one true love. I am rudderless without you.

"A pedal boat with no pedals. A sailboat with no sails.

"Will we ever meet again?

Love, Angus R. Shackleton III."

- [sniffles] That is so beautiful!

- [blows nose]

- I'm starting to feel a little guilty

that we opened the "Top Secret" box.

- But if we had never opened it,

we would have never found

all of these love letters Angus wrote,

love letters that he's clearly too shy to send.

That's it! I, Parker J. Cloud,

will stop at nothing

until I find the big guy's secret lost love!

[heartbeat thumping]

- How are you going to do that, Parker?

- Uh, I think it's pretty obvious, Lily.

- Hmm? - Hi! I'm Parker.

I'm going door-to-door reading my good friend's personal

and private love letters in hopes of finding

the very special person the letters were intended for.

[clears throat] "To my one true love.

"Your warm embrace would melt the coldest

of polar ice caps..."

- Ooh.

"Every breeze carries your memory,

and every sunset your smile."

- [giggles]

- "You're my secret crush, and that secret crush

is crushing me..."

both: Ohh.

- "Like the coral reefs,

I'm dying to see you once again."

- [crowing]

- "My heart weighs heavy with each moment

we're apart like an anchor stuck in the muck of life."

So you think these letters were written for you?

- Oh, yeah. Totally me.

- Yee!

- In your dreams, Nancy.

- Whoever said finding someone's true love

was easy never had to read

their boss' love letters door-to-door before.

- You can't give up now, Parker.

You're in too deep.

- I know. And love is in the air!

- [sniffs] I thought I smelled love.

- But at this rate, it's gonna take forever to find

the big guy's lost love. If only there was a way

to read the letters to the whole mountain at once.

- Hmm. What about the radio? - I don't know, Lily.

You really think Angus would be this much in love with a radio?

- Hmm.

- Argh! Stupid hair!

Huh? What is it, girl?

"Bad Beard Balm." Well, it can't hurt to try.

Thanks! "Apply small amount. Don't get in eyes.

Never leave on longer than a minute."

Blah, blah, blah. Go big or go home.

Right, Russell?

Hey, hey! Will you look at that?

- [squawks]

- The beard's back, baby! Ha-ha-ha!

Ooh, yeah! All right, there.

- This is Derek "The Drizz" Drizzle

with "The Romance Hour."

Our guest today is Parker J. Cloud.

- Say what now?

- Uh, you say you're trying to find

the lost love of your best pal in the whole world?

- That's correct, Drizz. - And you plan to do that

by reading an entire box full of love letters?

Live? On air? To the entire mountain?

- Correct again, Drizz. - The cloud's gonna do what?

- I gotta say, you're one good friend, Parker J. Cloud.

- Oh, I would do anything in the world for...

- No, no, no. Don't say my name;

don't say my name. - Angus R. Shackleton III.

He lives on a ship on the top of the mountain!

- Ahhh!

"Like a foghorn misses the fog.

Like a kite misses the wind. You octopi my heart."

- Wow. I mean, you know, that gets you right here.

Hey, read another one.

- You got it, Drizz.

"You're the pineapple of my eye..."

- Parker...

Stop reading...now!

- Angus! - Hey, this is Angus?

May I just say, ah, your words, they--they move me, sir.

[loud rattling]

- No, you may not.

Parker, what in the world do you think you're doing?

This is my private property meant for no one

but me, myself, and I.

Not you, not Russell, not Derek "The Drizz" Drizzle,

and definitely not the entire mountain!

- But I was only trying to help.

- Help do what? Embarrass me?

- No! Find your one true love.

I thought I was doing a good thing.

But I can tell by that vein in your neck

that I did a bad thing.

- [speaking gibberish]

- Parker, I hid those letters in a box inside a walrus

for a reason so that no one would ever read them. Ever.

- [sobbing]

I'm so sorry, Angus.

I got caught up in the love.

I didn't mean to make you mad at me.

- Okay, my little nimbus.

There's no need for the waterworks, Parker.

Let's just forget this whole thing happened and move on.

No harm, no foul.

- I love you, Angus.

[together] Angus! Angus! Angus!

- Okay, that's a foul.

- Angus, I'm your long lost love!

- I love you, Angus! - No, she doesn't! Not like me!

- Hey! It looks like this whole mountain has Angus fever!

- You think your lost love is somewhere down there?

- No, Parker. I do not.

Whole thing has gotten way out of control.

We need to find a way outta here.

- Hey, you're at the top of a windmill, my dude!

Afraid there's only one way in and one way out.

[together] Angus! Angus! Angus!

- Sorry, it's just us, Parker and Russell.

Just two buds leaving a windmill.

- Boo! I want Angus!

- We're in the clear now, Angus. You can come out.

- Ugh!

You just had to eat tacos today, didn't you?

- [munching, screeches]

Lock the door, Parker. Hurry.

- I'm pretty sure nobody followed us.

- Angus! I followed you all the way here!

[glass shattering]

- Angus! - Batten down the hatches!

We're under att*ck!

[together] Angus! Angus! Angus!

[pounding at door]

- Bro! Those letters are for me, bro.

- Bro! I love you too, bro!

- Bro! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

- We can't hold them back! Quick, to the poop deck!

- [giggles]

- Angus! Dude, Angus!

I'm coming for your love, Angus!

- [squeals] We gotta get out of here!

To the crow's nest!

Whew! Parker? Russell? Hmm?

- Okay, everyone. Let's try and be civilized here.

- He's mine!

- Or not! - No!

[together] Angus! Angus!

Angus! Angus! Angus!

- Enough!

- Ow.

- This obsession over a few measly love letters

is ridiculous and is gonna end now!

You really wanna know who those letters were intended for?

[together] Yeah!

- Fine. I'll tell ya. It's true.

Angus R. Shackleton III has a long-lost love.

- I knew it! It's me! - Shut up, Amanda!

- And that lost love is...

[all gasp]

[together] Bro?

- The ocean. The deep blue. My true love.

So calm, so gentle. [seagulls caw]

Yet if you take her for granted, she'll drown you.

Big-time. [sniffs]

Ah, I can smell her salty air now.

I can hear the waves lapping against the bow of the ship.

Lap. Lap. Lap.

If I close my eyes tight, I can still see...

[crowd grumbling]

- Hey, where are you goin'? - I mean, seriously?

- Bro. The ocean is a toilet for fish.

Ugh. - Angus!

- I know, I know!

I made a huge fool outta myself!

I never should have--

- Shh, shh. I just wanted to say

that I don't care that everyone thought

what you just said was lame and corny

and a complete waste of their time

because Russell and I thought it was...

[sniffles] Beautiful.

Just like your letters.

- Thanks, you two. - And may I add,

your beard looks amazing! - It does, doesn't it?

Well, you can thank Russell's beard balm for that.

- [gasps] - What?

No, seriously. What?

- Ahh! - Wh-what?
