[RATTLING]

Way up high in the Rolie Polie sky

Is a little round planet
Of a really nice guy

He's Rolie Polie Olie
He's small and smart and round

And in the land of curves and curls
He's the swellest kid around

-Howdy
-Howdy

-Hooray
-Hooray

And in the land of curves and curls
He's the swellest kid around

He's Rolie Polie Olie
He's small and smart and round

And in the land of curves and curls
He's the swellest kid around

-Howdy
-Howdy

-Hooray
-Hooray

And in the land of curves and curls
He's the swellest kid around

And in the land of curves and curls
He's the swellest kid

The swellest kid around

[ALL CHEER]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[PAPPY SNORING]

[SNORING]

[CLUCKS]

[BOTH SIGH]

-Sure is swell here, huh, Zow?
-Yeah.

I think Pappy's place

is the most wonderfullest place
on the whole Rolie Polie planet.

-[SPOT BARKING]
-[GIGGLES] You too, Spot?

[BARKS]

ZOWIE: Butterfly, Olie, butterfly!

Wow, I've never seen one like that before.

-[SPOT BARKING]
-Come on, let's follow it.

[ZOWIE GIGGLING]

Where'd butterfly go?

OLIE: Way to go, Spot!

-Wow, it sure is quick.
-[SPOT BARKING]

ZOWIE: Oh!

How about going
on a good old butterfly hunt?

-Yay!
-[BARKS]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

See anything, Jolly Roger?

The song fish tree?

-Thanks! Ready, Zow?
-Ready, ready, ready!

[SHUSHES] We've gotta be really quiet,
okey-dokey?

Okey-dokey.

[GIGGLES]

[CONTINUES GIGGLING]

-Zow!
-Oopsie. Sorry.

[GIGGLES]

OLIE: Real gentle, Zow. Now!

Oh, nuts and bolts.

What that, Olie?

Hey, those are Mom and Dad's initials.

Dad told me he used to play
his harmonica for Mom here,

but I never noticed that before.

Hmm.

[POLINA, PERCY GIGGLING]

[SIGHS]

I don't know how this night
could be any more beautiful, Sweetums.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[POLINA SIGHS]

That's the magic of Pappy's place, hon.

You never know what wonderful thing
is going to happen next.

Oh, sweetums.

[BARKING]

OLIE: Wow! It's Dad's harmonica.

Let's take this home.

I'll bet Mom and Dad will be glad
we found it for them.

Okey-dokey, Olie. [GIGGLES]

Hey.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-[SPOT BARKING]
-[ZOWIE GIGGLING]

[LOUD THUD]

-OLIE: Are you okey-dokey, Spot?
-[WHIMPERS]

-ZOWIE: What this, Olie?
-I don't know.

Wow! Motorcycles. Rockabilly bots.
Jeepers.

This must've been Uncle Giz's fort
when he was little.

YOUNG GIZ: One day, I'm going to get one
just like this, only bigger.

[IMITATES REVVING]

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

YOUNG GIZ: And I'm going to have big hair.
Really big hair.

A Giz a rula, a walk it to it

A Giz a rula, A walk it to it

A Giz a rula, a walk it to it
A Giz a rula, a walk it to it

A-thank you, thank you very much.

OLIE: Hey, Uncle Gizmo's old microphone.
Neat-o.

-[BARKS]
-I'll bet he's forgotten all about it.

[SPOT BARKING]

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

-Oh! That light spooked it.
-Oh! Spooked it.

Gee wilickers! A golden locket.

Whoo! Pretty locket.

Grandma Lulu-Lu.

Grandma loved this garden.

She said she loved
to watch little things grow.

[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[LULU-LU SIGHS]

-Zowie miss Grandma Lulu-Lu.
-We all do, Zow,

-but she wouldn't want you to be sad.
-[SNIFFS]

Okey-dokey, Olie.

And now we found something
to give back to Pappy, too.

-[BARKING]
-ZOWIE: Butterfly. Butterfly.

Let's see if Tele can help us find
the butterfly.

[SNORES]

There it is!

It's coming this way, Zow.

-[SHUSHES]
-[SHUSHES]

[GIGGLES] Sorry.

-[SNORES]
-OLIE: Gotcha!

Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha!

Howdy, kids. Say, what you got there?

-Butterfly.
-PAPPY: Oh!

You sure found yourselves
a beauty, all right.

That's not all, Pappy.

Everywhere the butterfly took us
on the farm,

we found special places and things.

[SIGHS]

You know, maybe if you let her go,

she'll show you some other special places
and things another day.

-Do you think so, Pappy?
-[CHUCKLES] Yep.

Okey-dokey.

And, uh,

I think you should put these things back
where you found them.

-Put back, Pappy?
-Yeah.

You see, I think your parents
and Uncle Gizmo left these things here

-on purpose.
-Why, Pappy?

Well, I guess they felt that if they left
a special thing here,

a little bit of them
would always be here, too.

That's why I put this by the garden
Grandma Lulu loved so much.

Even though she's gone,
her memory will always be here.

-You understand?
-Yes, Pappy.

Do you want us to put the locket back?

No, no, that's okey-dokey, Olie.
I'll... I'll put it back in a minute.

Well, hello, there.
Oh, you sure are a pretty one.

Well, that's the darnedest thing.

-[GIGGLES]
-[BARKS]

[PAPPY SIGHING] I wonder if Olie and Zowie

will find a special place
of their own here.

-[BARKS]
-[LAUGHS]

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

There they are.

[MEOWS]

-[YAWNS]
-[SIGHS]

-Hey, everybody, welcome home.
-Yeah!

Uh, where's Billy?

Wow.

[ALL LAUGH]

That's really neat-o, Billy.

-Wow.
-It's a hover-cube.

Isn't it great?

-You can only get them on Planet Cubey.
-It's super-duper square-coolio.

Everything on Planet Cubey is cool.

Gotta dig those straight lines
and sharp corners.

That's Cubey's angle.
It's got the "Edge" on style.

It's just so, oh, cubular.

Yeah.

[MEOWING]

Come on. [INDISTINCT]

Arrivederci.

-I knew you'd like it, Olie.
-[BOTH LAUGH]

-Gotcha.
-Oh!

-[LAUGHS]
-[POLIE SIGHING]

How's about taking me for a spin, Billy?

Um, I'd like to,
but it needs to be charged up.

Oh!

-Then tell me about your trip.
-Yeah, Billy.

Sure. but not right now.
I've got to do some stuff.

What stuff?

-Uh...
-Hey, Billy-O, time to split.

I'm parking the cube out back
to unload your stuff.

Later, taters.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

I got to go.

OLIE: I thought for sure
Billy would wanna tell me

-all about his trip.
-Maybe he's tired.

Yeah, it's a long trip to Cubey.
He was probably just too tired.

BILLY: Hey, Dad. Do you think
we have enough boxes?

OLIE: Billy doesn't seem too tired
to move heavy boxes.

POLLIE: Maybe that's because
they aren't heavy.

-What do you mean?
-What if the boxes are empty?

What if Billy's moving?

Moving? No way. Billy's my best buddy.
He'd tell me if he was moving.

But the Bevels sure loved their trip
to Cubey.

-Maybe they're moving back.
-Gee wilickers, you really think so?

POLLIE: There's one way to find out.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]

[OBJECTS CLATTERING]

They sure sound busy.

BOTH: Whoa!

Olie, Pollie. What are you doing?
[GASPS]

Um, uh...

Nothing, Billy.
Uh, just stretching our gears.

Hey, want to play Space Boy?

[GASPING] Sorry. Can't.

-What's the tape for?
-Um, well,

I was, uh, just practicing
my juggling act.

-[MEOWS]
-See?

I need lots more practice.
See ya, bye, gotta go.

[DOOR SLAMS]

What could be more important
than playing Space Boy?

Nothing. Except...

moving.

I don't know, Pollie.

Pollie?

[GASPS] That's spying.

-[GASPS]
-[GASPS]

BOTH: Billy is moving.

I can't believe he wouldn't tell me.
I thought we were best buddies.

Maybe that's why Billy won't tell you.

He might be worried
you won't be best buddies

when he moves away.

That's silly. We'll always be friends.
Nothing could change that.

Maybe you should tell Billy that.

I'll do better than that. I'll show him.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

One more box and I'll be... Olie!

You'll be what?

Nothing, just...
I'm almost finished with my stuff.

Here, I want you to have this.

-But that's your favorite toy.
-That's why I want you to have it.

That's what best buddies are for.

And nothing could separate best buddies,
right?

You know it. See ya!

BAXTER: Gotta hustle.

The truck should be here any minute
to move the boxes.

[GASPS] It's true!

Billy is moving.

-There must be some mistake.
-Here comes the moving truck.

I can't believe he's really moving.

-He's packing up all the boxes now.
-Who will I play Space Boy with?

-There he goes with all the boxes.
-He didn't even say good-bye.

-[DOORBELL RINGING]
-Billy!

BILLY: Hey, Olie. I've got a surprise.

Yeah, I already know.

Aw. But I was trying so hard
to keep it a secret.

I thought best buddies
didn't have secrets.

But then, I guess we're not best buddies
anymore.

Sure we are.
Why else would I have built you this?

Wow!

You made me a hover-cube! [LAUGHS]

So that's what you were doing
with all those boxes.

-Yeah.
-Thanks, Billy.

-So, then you're not moving?
-Moving?

Why would you think that?

Um, Pollie and me kind of peeked
into your house,

-and saw all those boxes.
-And then the truck came...

To take all the leftover boxes
to the recycling plant.

I'd never move without telling
my best buddy in the whole world.

Thanks, Billy.

-Ready to play Space Boy?
-No, I gave it to you.

-But now I'm giving it back.
-You don't have to.

Yes, I do.

Space-Bots, start your hover-cubes.

Ready, set, blast off!

[LAUGHS]

ALL: Hooray!

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

BILLY: Watch this gear-grinder
with a hoop-loop!

-Wah-hoo!
-OLIE: Good one, Billy.

Here's a toe-jammer with a gear-popper.
Yee-ha!

Yes!

[BONGO DRUM b*ating]

Hey, that's Mom's dinnertime bongo.

Gotta go, Olie-O!

-[IMITATES CAR REV]
-Later, skater! [CHUCKLES]

[BONITA HUMMING]

And now for the under-and-over
catch-a-roller. Whoo-hoo!

[GASPS]

Yippee!

Yes!

-[BONITA CLEARING THROAT]
-Oops.

BILLY: I know. No wheels in the house.

Rightio. And you forgot to dong the gong.

I declare this room is square.

I'm going to put the board away for a day.

But Mom!

How's about you juke, jump, and jive
up to your room,

and have a little quiet time
till chow time.

Aw! It's just not fair.

[SIGHING]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[SIGHS]

It's not like I wrecked anything.

[MEOWS]

Mom gets to use wheels in the house.

The vacuum has wheels.
Dad's golf bag has wheels, right?

[MEOWS]

Can't I have any fun around here?

[OLIE IMITATING REVVING]

Whee-ha! Wha-hoo! [LAUGHS]

Look at that.

Olie gets to ride his skateboard
anywhere he wants.

[SIGHS]

-No wheels in the house, Olie.
-Sorry, Dad.

It's not fair.

I betcha Olie gets to ride his skateboard
anywhere in the whole universe.

Hmm.

Yee-ha! Whoo-hoo! Ya-ha!

Here comes the asteroid blaster
with a moon roll.

I bet his folks think it's okey-dokey.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

-Dad!
-[CHUCKLES]

Catch that particle wave, Olie.

-Whoo-hoo!
-OLIE: Yay!

I betcha Olie even gets to skateboard
all the way to the Ice Cream Planet

any time he wants.

OLIE: Yeah! Ice cream!

Lots and lots of ice cream!

Mm.

And I betcha his mom even lets him eat
all the ice cream he wants.

[POLINA GIGGLES]

Olie, did you try
the triple dip chocolate chip?

BILLY: He gets to eat buckets
of ice cream, any flavor, any time.

I betcha Olie even gets
to have totally chocolate breakfast

every day, too.

-[BOTH CHUCKLING]
-Yum.

Mm. Totally chocolate breakfast
are the bek-kist!

[HICCUPS] Oh, excuse me.

PERCY: No problemo.

How's about
some yummy chocolate toffees?

[ALL LAUGH]

I'll bet Olie never has
to go to bed, either.

He probably gets to stay up all night
if he wants to.

-Come on, Spot. Yee-ha!
-[SPOT BARKING]

I'll be none of the Polies go to bed
if they don't feel like it.

POLINA: Whee! [GIGGLES]

-PERCY: Hey!
-[GIGGLES]

I have to go to bed
at the same time every night.

It's just not fair.

How's the quiet time, Billy-O?

Had a chance to think things through
and get things squared away?

Yep, sure have. I'm going to go live
with the Polies.

-You are?
-You are?

Uh-huh. Olie gets to do
anything he wants.

Like skateboard to the Ice Cream Planet,
and have totally chocolate breakfast,

and stay up all night long.

Well, that sure sounds cubular.

It is.

Way more cubular
than your brick collecting,

and square dancing,
and jiggle-O cubes, and waffles.

And trips to Planet Cubey and bongos.

Aw, but that's just a bunch
of square mumbo jumbo.

Olie doesn't get to do any
of that square stuff?

No way, Illy-Bay.

And there's other square things
I can think of that Olie'll never have.

-Like what?
-Well, like us.

Of course, it's hard to measure up
to totally chocolate breakfast, Baxter.

It sure is, Bonita Chiquita.

Hmm. No bongos, no waffles, no you?

Whoa. Maybe I won't go live there.
Maybe I'll just visit.

[CHUCKLES]

Sorry about the board in the house, Mom.

That's okey-dokey, Billy.
We're all squared away.

Say, why don't we Bevels put
our cubes together,

and come up with some
of the squarest fun in all Polieville?

[CHUCKLES]

Better have a square meal first.

And it's choco-block chocolate squares
for dessert, Billy.

Choco-block chocolate squares?
Hot diggity!

[FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, Billy, whatcha doing?

Hey, Olie. Come over.
We're having a Bongo-A-Go-Go.

-What for?
-Just for fun.

-Neato! Be right over.
-PERCY: Olie, dinnertime.

Come help set the table, please.

But, Dad, I gotta... I...

Roll on in here, Olie.
You know the Polie rule.

-Everyone helps out.
-Okey-dokey.

It's not fair. I'll bet Billy never has
to set the table.

He just gets to have fun, fun, fun.

I'll bet he gets
to have Bongo-A-Go-Go parties,

and ride his skateboard
in the house any time he wants.

Dad, it's just not fair!
