[Bo] You don't say!
Well, what's your question, Keiran?
Can you please tell me

Oh, yeah, okay.
Oh, good idea.
[Bo giggles]
Bing, can you tell us
what we're doing here?
It's over there! It's right there!

[flies laughing]
Uh, I don't see the connection, Bing.
You don't see the connection?
Uh, excuse me. Guys!
-Oui?
-Yeah, you!
Can you please tell my good friend
over here where you dudes come from?
From France, of course.
Boom! Nailed it!

What are you doing back here?
I told you to get an answer!
Not dillydally!
[Beep]
We got the answer, Boss!
We know exactly where
French fries come from!
It all starts underground.
With potatoes, man.
Yeah. A giant tractor comes
and scoops 'em all up,
and then they rumble, and they tumble,
and they shake off all the dirt
before they get dumped in a truck
and driven away!
Then it's so nice!
They get washed and scrubbed
and cut and soaked in hot oil!
[Bing]
That's the frying part.
