MAILMANSpecial delivery.
(Both gasping)
Special delivery.
Is it for me?
Nah, it's probably for me.
Aah!
Pull yourself together, man.
Who's the letter for?
Uh, it-- Uh, it's for M-M-M-Melvin.
Don't you mean Marvin?
M-M-M-Marvin.
Yeah, that-- That's right. Marvin.
Here you go.
Goodbye.
(Bicycle bell dinging)
Hmmm. Nervous fella.
Eddy, could you open this for me?
Someone named Clyde is coming for a visit.
Clyde? That's my brother.
I didn't know you had a brother.
Clyde's a racehorse.
He's famous.
Wow. A real racehorse? Why didn't you tell me--?
Marvin?
Marvin, what's wrong?
Don't you and your brother get along?
Sure we do.
We used to have lots of fun together when we were colts.
Playing hide-in-the-haystack,
Kick the Apple,
Roll the Barrel.
(Marvin laughing)
Oh, those were good times.
So why aren't you glad he's coming?
Every time he comes, we run a race.
And every time we do...
He wins?
How'd you know?
Marvin, he is a racehorse.
He's won so many races, I've lost count.
EDDYWow. You must be so proud of him.
Yeah.
Except when he beats me,
which is always.
Always. Every single time.
He doesn't just b*at me, either. He creams me.
And he's my little brother.
Hmph! I'll bet that's why he's coming:
so he can b*at me in front of all my friends.
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
The big show-off.
Is he here yet? Is he here?
Well, little brother's in for a surprise.
This time's going to be different.
Hey, Marvin.
You big lug.
DIAMONDSClyde! ELIZABETHHe's here!
STRIPESHey there, champ.
ELIZABETHHi!
Hi, everybody.
How are you, bro?
So, we meet again.
It's been a donkey's age since I've been here.
Good to see you.
I know the real reason you've come.
Very well. We will race at dawn.
Race? Okay?
Uh, what's wrong with him?
I'm not sure.
I don't know. Beats me.
He's, uh, just looking forward to the race.
Yeah, I guess so.
You must be Eddy. Nice to meet you.
Clyde, would you like a tour?
We've got some exciting new rides.
Sure.
EDDYMarvin, wait up.
Marvin, don't you want to spend time with your brother?
Can't. I only have one day to get ready for this race.
I've got work to do.

There's the Great Horse. Isn't that right, big brother?

Isn't it the Great Bear?
Marvin always used to say that the Great Horse chases the sun
across the sky, pulling the moon behind him.
Hmm. Doesn't sound very scientific.
It's just a story, Stripes.
I wish Marvin would wake up and tell us one of his stories.

You showed a lot of heart out there, Marvin.
Easy for you to say.
You always win.
When we were little, you always won.
Really?
Yeah.
Wonderful race.
STRIPESGreat.
I don't know when I've been so excited.
If it weren't for you,
I probably wouldn't be a racehorse.
Really?
You're the best storyteller,
and the best dancer.
I can't dance at all.
I've got four left feet. Four fast left feet.
Yeah, but they're no good for dancing.
I guess we're just good at different things.
You're always number one with me, Marvin.

MARVINGee, it sure is swell working for Jack.
He's the best boss ever.
You know, we should do something nice for old Jackie boy.
Hmm.
Why don't we give him a party?
I'd be happy to organize one.
What a lovely idea.
I'll help. Thank you, Eddy.
Hey, let's have a luau.
What's a luau?
A Hawaiian beach party.
Jack would love it.
What about a square dance?
If we're going to dance, let's rock and roll.
How about a shindig?
Everybody knows you can't b*at the heat
of a Mexican fiesta.
Olé!
Diamonds is the party planner. She should decide.
My decision?
(Laughing nervously)
Square dance?
Fiesta?
Shindig.
Luau?
They all sound fun to me.
So who's idea should we use?
Um, let me get back to you.
Oh, my.
Oh, I can't decide.

Why don't you just pick the one you think is best?
But I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings
by not picking theirs.
Oh... Let's ask Marvin.
He gives good advice.
Good idea, Eddy.
Marvin, are you there? Come on in.
I need a little help with Jack's party.
I can't... (Gasping)
(Laughing)
It's my old grass skirt.
Still fits.
I wore it for my role in my beach movie Surfin' Saddles.
The perfect thing to wear to a luau.
(Hawaiian music playing over radio)
(Both laughing) It sure is, Marvin.
All right!
A luau it is.
I'll start rounding up more beach stuff.
Uh, Marvin... But...
Oh, um, Marvin...
Oh, I guess it's a luau.
Could you haul some sandbags to the big top?
Sure thing.

That's some hairdo, Stripes.
(Imitating Elvis)Thank you. Thank you very much.
(In normal voice)And I've got enough hair cream for everyone.
Hair cream? What for?
To slick everyone's hair back for the shindig.
You're way square without the hair, right?
Uh, right. I mean--
I knew you were a hepcat.
A shindig it is.
I'd better sort out my records.
But, uh, Stripes, uh...
