Okay...

Okay...

Whoa!

Okay!

Ooof! [Cans clatter]

Oh man!

Howdy!

I'm tasha and I'm a rancher.

I have so much work to do on my ranch.

I gotta paint the barn

And fix the house and sweep the fence.

Or was that... Fix the barn and sweep the house

And paint the fence?

[Sighs] oh, for goodness sakes, there's so much to do!

♪ I've gotta, gotta, gotta get to work ♪

♪ There's a lot of, lot of, lot of work to do ♪

♪ And not a, not a, not a lot of time but... ♪

♪ I'll keep on working 'til my work is through ♪

♪ I gotta mend the fences, pull out weeds ♪

♪ Give my horse the food it needs ♪

♪ Clear the brush and paint the wall ♪

♪ Then sweep out the horse's stall ♪

♪ Take the trash out, sweep the floor ♪

♪ Then put up the new barn door ♪

♪ Water plants and mow the lawn ♪

♪ At this rate I'll work 'til dawn ♪

♪ I gotta, gotta, gotta get to work ♪

♪ There's a lot of, lot of, lot of work to do

♪ And not a, not a, not a lot of time but... ♪

♪ I'll keep on working 'til my work is through ♪

♪ Find the mop and fix the broom ♪

♪ Build a wall, pick up the leaves ♪

♪ Wash the mud stains off my sleeves ♪

♪ Cook my dinner, eat it too ♪

♪ Fix the big hole in my shoe ♪

♪ There's a lot of, lot of, lot of work to do ♪

♪ And not a, not a, not a lot of time but... ♪

I sure got a lot to do.

But when I'm all done,

I'm gonna have me a nice big helpin' of pancakes!

Mmmm... Pancakes.

Well, I better get to it.

Time to make tracks to my ranch,

Where there are prairies...

A ranch house for me...

And an old barn for my horses.

[Horse whinnies]

Howdy, ralphy!

[Neighs]

You know, you are my favorite horse

On this whole broken down old ranch.

[Snorts]

[Sighs] you're right.

We have to build a new fence,

Clean out the barn

And then paint the house.

[Neighs]

I know, that is a lot of work.

I sure do wish we had some help.

I need some ranch hands.

[Whirring]

[Banging and rattling]

[Whooshing]

Zablo, we are on the planet earth.

Earth?but why?

Because this is where our flying saucer

Stopped flying.

True. But why?

I do not know. Let us find out.

[Beeping, whirring]

[Gasps] we are out of zum-zum.

Zum-zum makes our flying saucer fly!

Without zum-zum,

We will never get home to planet zorbidor!

[Gasps]

[In unison] we must find zum-zum! We must find zum-zum!

We must find zum-zum! We must find zum-zum!

Look zuniqua, a house!

Maybe an earthling lives in that house.

Maybe the earthling will help us!

Give us zum-zum

So we can fly home to planet zorbidor?

Zoid-zoid! Give us zum-zum!

We will go to the earthling for help.

[Door creaks open]

[Ralphy neighs]

Be patient, ralphy.

We can't eat pancakes until all of my work is done.

[Snorts]

And I don't know how we're gonna get it all done

Without any help.

[Neighs]

Pablo and uniqua: zum-zum, zum-zum! Zum-zum, zum-zum!

Zum-zum, zum-zum! Zum-zum, zum-zum!

Tasha: uh, howdy, pardners.

Zoid-zoid!

Uh... What was that?

Zoid-zoid!

Zoid-zoid!

Ralphy, I'm gonna guess these fellas want to say hello.

[Snorts]

Howdy, pardner, I'm rancher tasha.

How-dy pard-ner! I am zablo!

Uniqua: how-dy pard-ner! I am zuniqua.

Whoa!

Those sure are some firm handshakes

You all have there!

What brings you cowpokes to my ranch?

Zoid-zoid! We come for help!

Yes, we come for help, and zum-zum!

With blueberries, if you have some.

Hmm. I don't know what zum-zum is,

But if you help me do my work,

I'll certainly give you some of my pancakes, pardner.

Uniqua and pablo: zum-zum!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, pardners!

First of all,

Where I come from they call these pancakes.

Pablo and uniqua: pancakes?

We want pancakes! We want pancakes!

With blueberries, if you got some.

Now hold on,

When all the work is done,

Then you ranch hands can have as many pancakes as you want.

Pablo and uniqua: zum-zum!

[Whinnies]

Pablo: ♪ pancakes, pancakes

Uniqua: ♪ we'll work for pancakes

Pablo: ♪ if you've got pancakes

Uniqua: ♪ we'll work for you

♪ Pancakes, pancakes

Pablo: ♪ we'll work for pancakes

Tasha: ♪ whatever I call them

♪ You sure want some, some

Uniqua: ♪ hey lady rancher we're here to help out ♪

Pablo: ♪ workin' for pancakes is what we're about ♪

I'm so glad I found some ranch hands

And you all like pancakes as much as I do!

Well, let's get to work.

Ranch hands, follow me.

Pablo and uniqua: zum-zum! Zum-zum! Zum-zum! Zum-zum!

[Snorts]

Pablo and uniqua: zum-zum! Zum-zum! Zum-zum! Zum-zum!

First, I need you to help me build a new fence.

And I need it to be really tall

So that my horses don't run away.

Zoid-zoid.

Zoid-zoid.

Well, alrighty, then.

Just hold on,

I'll be back with some more wood!

Hmm... Rancher tasha wants a fence.

Hmm... A really tall fence.

Both: hmm...

Zoid-zoid! I know!

Let us do it the way we do it

On planet zorbidor!

Zoid-zoid!

[Buzzing and humming]

Ralphy: [neighs]

Zoid-zoid!

[Laser zaps]

Zoid-zoid!

[Whinnies]

Rancher tasha will love this fence.

And then she will give us zum-zum!

So we can get back to planet zorbidor!

Both: we will get zum-zum! We will get zum-zum!

Tasha: hey, pardners...

I'm back and I brought some more wood.

Now we can make the fence!

Uniqua: zoid-zoid!

We already made a fence!

You made a fence?

But where?

Oh my!

A fence isn't supposed to do that!

You said you wanted a tall fence.

But not tall like that.

That won't stop my horses from running away.

I need a fence to go around the yard,

Not up into the sky.

Ohhhhhh!

[Laser zaps]

[Fence creaks as it sways]

[Whinnies]

[Gasps]

Oh my, oh my!

It's going to fall over!

Let's hightail it out of here!

Come on, ralphy! Come on, you ranch hands!

[Gasps]

[Fence creaks]

[Wood crashing]

Ahhhhhhhh!

[Loud clattering crash]

Well, I'll be knocked off a chuckwagon at lunchtime!

That's the best fence-fixing job I've ever seen!

Zoid-zoid!

We are happy that our help made you happy.

Now it is time for pancakes!

With blueberries if you got some.

Zum-zum! Zum-zum! Zum-zum! Zum-zum!

Where on earth did these buckeroos come from, ralphy?

[Snorts]

Tasha: no one gets pancakes until all the work is done!

Come on, follow me.

I need you ranch hands to help me with another chore.

[Whinnies]

[Horses whinny]

Tasha: this is the barn where I keep my horses.

The floor is really dirty

So I'd appreciate it

If you would move the horses out of the barn

While I start sweeping.

Both: zoid-zoid!

Zoid-zoid!

Hmm... This horse is big.

[Grunts of effort]

Hmm...

Too big to move.

Hmm...hmm...

Zoid-zoid! I know!

Let us do it the way we do it

On planet zorbidor!

[Laser zaps]

[Tiny, frightened whinny]

Shrink the horses!

So they will be easy to move!

Excellent horse-moving idea, zablo!

Zank-you, zuniqua!

Uniqua: now they are all shrunk.

Let us move them outside.

Zoid-zoid!

We have moved the horses out of the barn

Just like rancher tasha wanted!

Zoid-zoid!

Ralphy: [tiny, frightened whinny]

But what does rancher tasha want us to do with them now?

I do not know.

Let us do what we do on the planet zorbidor!

[Horses whinny]

Tasha: alrighty, ranch hands,

Let's bring those horses back inside.

Um, where are they?

No, no,

I don't need a bucket right now, pardner.

Where are the horses?

Zoid-zoid! Bucket!

No thanks, buckeroo.

You keep the bucket

And give me the horses.

Ralphy: [tiny, frightened whinny]

[Gasps] did you hear that?

The horses!

Maybe they went back into the barn!

Come on!

Oh man!

Looks like they're not in here either!

Oh ralphy, where could you be?

Zoid-zoid. Ralphy!

He was the best horse I ever had.

Ralphy! Where are you?

Ralphy: [tiny whinny]

It seems like I can hear him

Back in his stall.

Oh ralphy!

Ralphy: [whinnies]

Ralphy?!

Ralphy: [whinnies]

Tasha: oh ralphy!

I was worried about you.

Ralphy: [snorts]

Tasha: where did you get off to?

Don't you scare me like that ever again.

[Horses whinny]

Oh my, you found them!

And I thought you ranch hands

Were just horsing around!

You did a right fine job moving my horses.

Thank you!

Zoid-zoid!

We are happy to horse around with your horses!

Now it is time for pancakes!

Zum-zum!

With blueberries, if you've got some.

Zum-zum, zum-zum! Zum-zum, zum-zum!

I tell ya, ralphy,

There's something real strange

About these buckaroos.

I just can't put my finger on it.

Now settle down.

No one gets pancakes until all the work is done.

And there's one last chore,

So come on!

See my house?

I've always wanted an orange house,

But I need help.

Zoid-zoid! Orange house?

Zoid-zoid. Orange house.

We will make an orange house for you,

Rancher tasha!

Then you will give us pancakes!

Well, alrighty.

I'll go get the supplies.

Come on, ralphy.

Hmm... Make an orange house.

Hmm... How will we do that?

There are no orange houses on zorbidor.

Hmm...hmm...

Zoid-zoid! I know!

[Beep] zoid-zoid, zap!

[Streaks through the air]

Pablo: zoid-zoid!

[Beep] zap!

Tasha: I wonder where they went?

You know, I never met anyone

Like those two.

It's like they're from outer space.

[Snorts]

[Whooshes through air]

[Thud]

[Whirring]

Ready?

Zoid-zoid!

[Laser zaps]

I don't know where they...

Oh my!

Oh my... Oh my...

Oh my!

Zoid-zoid!

We have made an orange house for you,

Rancher tasha!

Zoid-zoid!

A ripe and delicious orange, too!

Tasha: oh my!

Oh my, oh my!

Yes, it is very "oh my"!

Tasha: ♪ oh my, oh my

Uniqua and pablo: ♪ oh my, oh my

♪ That's quite a sight oh my, oh my ♪

Uniqua and pablo: ♪ oh my, oh my

This isn't what I wanted at all!

I said I wanted an orange house.

Zoid-zoid!

Now your house is an orange again!

Tasha: ah! No!

The color orange, not the fruit orange.

I wanted my house painted orange!

[Groans]

Uniqua and pablo: oh! Zoid-zoid.

Painted orange, the color.

Painted orange, the color.

Zoid zoid.

Zoid zoid? Zoid zoid.

[Laser zaps, ralphy whinnies]

[Gasps]

Whoa, doggies!

Uniqua: now it is not an orange house...

It is a house painted orange!

This is the best house painting job

I ever did see!

Thank you!

You ranch hands really had me going there!

Zoid-zoid!

We are happy to have you going there!

Zoid-zoid!

And we are happy to go there with your zum-zum!

With blueberries, if you got some.

I'm a rancher of her word.

Let's go get us some pancakes, pardners!

Come on!

Uniqua and pablo: zum-zum! Zum-zum! Zum-zum! Zum-zum!

Just wait here.

I'll get the butter and syrup for our pancakes!

Pancakes!

Zum-zum with blueberries!

We can make our flying saucer fly again!

And take us back to planet zorbidor!

Uniqua and pablo: zum-zum, zum-zum! Zum-zum, zum-zum!

[Door creaks open]

[Neighs]

Those buckaroos disappeared again!

Uniqua and pablo: zum-zum, zum-zum! Zum-zum, zum-zum!

Enough is enough, ralphy.

Those two are up to somethin'

And I'm fixin' to find out what!

[Horse hooves galloping]

Uniqua and pablo: zum-zum, zum-zum! Zum-zum, zum-zum!

Oh my ralphy, it's a flying saucer!

[Whinnies]

Shhhh.

[Bleep, mechanism whirs]

Zoid-zoid! Here comes the zum-zum!

Look what they're doing with those pancakes!

Ralphy: [snorts]

Uniqua and pablo: zum-zum, zum-zum! Zum-zum, zum-zum!

[Saucer powers up]

The flying saucer thinks the zum-zum is yum-yum!

Come, zablo,

Let us bring the zum-zum plate back to rancher tasha.

[Gasps]

Here is your plate, rancher tasha.

Thank you for the zum-zum.

Oh, well, you're very welcome.

But you didn't eat my delicious pancakes.

Eat them? [Laughs]

[Laughing]

Nobody eats zum-zum! [Laughs]

They make our flying saucer go!

Exactly where are you folks from, anyway?

Planet zorbidor.

Planet zorbidor?

Both: planet zorbidor!

Well, ralphy, I was right,

These ranch hands are from outer space!

[Stomach growls]

Was that your flying saucer?

[Laughs]

No, that was my tummy!

I'm hungry.

Let's go back to my house for blueberry pancakes!

Yeah, that sounds great!

Let's go!

Pablo and uniqua: zum-zum! Zum-zum!

All: [giggle]

Pablo: I could eat a whole plate of blueberry zum-zum!

Me too!
