01x33 - A Litter Help From My Friends

Post by bunniefuu »

[quirky music playing]

Hi, Dinah! I would've been home sooner,

-but I stopped at the pet shop.
-[meows]

That's right, and I got you a toy.

Hm. It's in here somewhere.

Gee, I guess it's been a while
since I've cleaned all the junk

out of my pockets.

-[meows]
-Oh!

Here it is.
With all that litter in my pockets,

I guess it's lucky I found it.

And speaking of finding something...

I think I'll go someplace
where I can always find a good time.

Now, Rabbit.

I want you to make sure the picnic area
is completely ant-free.

And then-- Oh, good gracious!
Look at that!

-Oh!
-Oh...

Some careless person has thrown
an empty ginger ale can in the pond.

I beg your pardon, Your Majesty?

That litter. Please fish it out.

[stammering] Why, yes, Your Majesty.

Oh. I don't think I can...

Oh, I don't care whose can it is,

pick it up and put it
in the palace recycling bin.

-Hi, Mr. Rabbit.
-Oh. Hello, Alice.

Oh, Rabbit! I've invited Alice
to this afternoon's picnic.

And she's kindly offered to help us
check the picnic supplies.

-Oh!
-[chuckles]

Now, let's see. Red cloth napkins?

Oh!

Check.

Matching red tablecloth?

Oh. Check.

Reusable plastic plates
with cute little red hearts?

Check.

[wind blowing]

[Red Queen] Oh! An old newspaper.

Old newspaper? No.

I don't think one of those is in here.

Oh, not there! Here!

Oh! Let me get that for you, Your Majesty.

Now, what was I saying? Oh, yes.

Uh-- Ah! [gasps]

My roses. They're full of litter too.

-They sure are.
-Oh, my goodness. Yes.

What a mess!

Well?

Hm? Oh! Right.

This is an outrage.
Empty cans, old newspapers,

and now my posies are piled with paper.

Well, it looks to me
like you've got a problem with litterbugs.

Oh, no. Ladybugs aren't a problem.

They, uh, take care of the roses--

No, Rabbit. She didn't say "ladybugs,"
she said "litterbugs."

You know, people who carelessly
toss their trash on the ground

instead of into a recycling bin.

Oh... [stammering] Yes.

Well, not to worry, Your Majesty.

Litterbugs or no litterbugs,
you can count on me to help clean up.

[laughs] Very good, Rabbit!

Now make sure you get all the litter
picked up before the picnic.

[stammering] Oh, yeah.

Piece of cake, Your Majesty.

There'll be time for dessert later.
Now get to work.

Oh, yeah-- Uh, she...

A-ha!

Litter!

En garde!

-Ha!
-Hey, Rabbit.

You missed a spot.

What? Oh, yes.

[cackling]

I like the way you stash trash, Bunny.

Just doing my part
to help keep Wonderland beautiful.

Keep Wonderland beautiful?
I do that every time I show my face.

Well, I do it by picking up trash.

You know, it's amazing
how careless people can be.

Why, everywhere I look...

I find litter.

Hm. Don't blame me.
You'll never see this kitty litter.

Yes. Well, in that case,
you're about the only one not doing it.

Anyway, at least this part is spotless.

Hm. Almost. Thank you.

[laughing]

Bye!

[quirky music playing]

[music tempo increases]

[panting]

Boy. And I thought you were bringing
a lot of stuff to the picnic.

[scoffs] This isn't for the picnic, Alice.

I've been collecting litter.

-Oh!
-What a strange hobby.

Wouldn't collecting stamps be more fun?

I'm not doing this for fun.

I'm doing it because the queen asked me
to clean up for the picnic.

I just never realized how many litterbugs
there were in Wonderland.

Litterbugs?

Oh, yes, they can be a problem.

I have a study here
to illustrate my point.

Once there was a group of bugs
who lived in a beautiful forest.

One day, the bugs discovered
that someone in the forest was littering.

They realized
it was the legendary litterbug.

A terrible bug
that ruins every place it visits.

The bugs knew they were too small
to fight the litterbug,

so sadly, they packed their things...

and left their forest home.

The next day, the litterbug discovered
that the other bugs were gone.

Finally, he saw one little ant.

"Where are the rest of the bugs?"
asked the litterbug.

"They all moved away," the ant replied.

"The beautiful forest
has been ruined by your littering."

The litterbug felt terrible.

He promised never to litter again.

So the ant happily called
all his bug friends back to the forest.

[squeaking]

And when they returned,

they saw that the forest
was once again a beautiful place.

Oh, and since the litterbug
no longer littered,

the other bugs decided to rename him.

From then on, they just called him Ed.

Well... I understand how those bugs felt.

Dealing with litterbugs is a big problem.

Perhaps it's too big for one rabbit.

But I'm the only rabbit there is.

No, I think Mr. Caterpillar
means you should get some help.

Exactly!

Keeping Wonderland clean
is everyone's responsibility.

In other words, everyone ought to do it.

By my fur and whiskers, Caterpillar.

-You're right.
-Naturally.

I've a good idea
who dropped all of this trash.

The least they could do
is be responsible for helping clean it up.

[groans]

Thank you.

-Okay, right down the pipe.
-Ah! Oh! Ah!

-Swing! Yes!
-Yes!

There, that's it. We got the net
and the ball for volleyball...

And the ba*ls, bats, and gloves
for the picnic softball game.

So is last year's Most Valuable Player
ready for this year's big game?

I sure am.

The kid's a natural short... stop.

So, what are you two
bringing to the picnic?

-Oh, we're in charge of the sandwich.
-Sandwich.

-As in one of them?
-Um, no offense,

but I get pretty hungry at picnics.
Shouldn't you make a lot?

Trust me, one will be plenty. Hare...

The sandwich!

[upbeat music playing]

-Ta-da!
-Ta-da!

Whoa.

-That's a sandwich?
-It will be.

-When we're done.
-Now please stand back!

We are professionals but, even so,
this could get a little messy.

Looks great,
but what are the rest of you gonna eat?

You are so funny.

Oh, good, I'm glad I found you all here.

I wonder
if I could talk to you for a moment.

Actually, you just did.

So I guess the answer is yes.

-No, you don't understand.
-How true.

-Keep talking, we're bound to catch on.
-What I'm trying to say is...

[sighs]

we've got a very big problem.

[gasping]

We've all got to pitch in
and stop littering.

Our beloved Wonderland
is covered with trash.

Oh, come on, Rabbit!

I wouldn't say that.

Yeah, we have a gum wrapper here
or an empty can there...

-It's hardly a big problem.
-Right.

-Not like we're a bunch of litterbugs.
-Yeah.

Oh, really?
Well, I've got something to show you.

[chattering and laughing]

-Hatter.
-Oh, how nice. Presents.

-Hare.
-You shouldn't have.

-Tweedle Dum.
-What's in the bag?

And Tweedle Dee. This is your litter.

-Hare was right. You shouldn't have.
-Oops. I almost forgot.

Oh, Dormouse.

This is yours.

Okay, so we do have a little problem.

Not a little problem, a litter problem.

Fortunately, I have a litter plan.

Meet me in the forest next to Crystal
in ten minutes.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Rabbit] Ahem!

Now then. As you can see
by the map on Crystal,

I have divided Wonderland into areas.

Each person is responsible
for keeping one area litter-free.

-Oh!
-[chattering]

It's a great plan.
Mr. Rabbit worked it all out himself.

[cheering and chattering]

Thank you. Uh, now then, uh...

Area 1 is me. Area 2, Tweedle Dum.

Area 3, The Hatter. Area 4, March Hare.

Area 5, Tweedle Dee.
And Area 5 1/2, the Dormouse.

[clears throat] Excuse me, Mr. Rabbit.
Excuse me.

Yes, Hare?

Could I have Area 2 instead?

Two is my lucky number.

-Yes, but I've got it all worked out--
-That's okay. I don't mind trading.

-Oh!
-Oh, that's okay.

Hare, you take 2,
and Tweedle Dum you take 4.

-Yes. Now then--
-Actually...

it would probably be better
for Mr. Hatter to have Area 5.

Good point Alice.
Dee, would you give me 5?

No problem. Five for you, 3 for me.

-Wait. A moment, please.
-[Dum] Yo, Dee,

-I'll swap you 4 for 3.
-Oh, deal.

-Perfect.
-No, this is all mixed up.

-What about my plan?
-Don't worry.

We've got it.
We'll each take care of our own section.

[indistinct chatter]

But I--

And I--

-Hello.
-What's up?

-Any litter in your area?
-Not a scrap. Any on your side?

Nope, clean as a whistle here.

[wind blowing]

-Litter?
-Looks like it.

-Aren't you gonna pick it up?
-Me? Why?

It's on your side of the line.

No, no, no. Look closer.
I believe you'll see it's on your side.

[laughing]

[pop music playing]

♪ Oh, Hare, allow me to point out

[suspenseful music playing]

[grunting]

[in unison] Hm...

Hm...

[Rabbit] Hello.

-Hello.
-I, uh...

I couldn't help noticing
a piece of litter down there.

How true that is.

[stammers] Uh, yes.
Well, I just wondered...

Whose side is it on?

-His.
-His.

Ah. I see. Perhaps I can help.

Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh.

Hm. Well...

-This is very obvious.
-I knew it.

-Told you so.
-It's exactly in the middle.

Therefore, there's only one thing to do.

See you at the picnic.

[both stammer]

[scat singing]

[laughing] Whoo! Whoo!

Yow! [scat singing]

How's your area, Dormouse?

Squeaky clean.

Things are neat as a pin in mine too.

I've been careful to put
every bit of trash in this trash can.

My trash can's getting full.

-Use mine.
-That's very nice of you. Here.

Oh, wait a minute.

Oh. Uh...

Thanks, anyway.

Let's see...

Ah!

[scat singing]

There, that's much better.

Oh. [laughs]

-Hatter.
-Hi, Tweedle Dee.

Getting ready for the picnic?

Forget about that.
You know anything about this?

Yes, I do. Yeah.
It's mostly tea bags, crumpled napkins,

paper towels, my bowling trophy...

[stammers] How did that get in here?

-I didn't mean to throw this out.
-Wait. You mean you put this trash here?

Yup! That was me! Why do you ask?

This is my area.
You dumped your trash in my area.

Right. And now my area is perfectly clean.

Oh, really? We'll see about that.

Not so fast. What are you doing?

Oh, keeping my area perfectly clean.

Yes, but--

Oh, I see.

I come up with a great idea
and you have to copy it.

Well, fine. We'll see about that.

[quirky music playing]

[wind blowing]

It's windy. Hm, sediments...

So much for that. My area's clean again.

So is mine.

-Hello.
-Hi.

My, your areas
are both looking neat and tidy.

You both must have worked very hard.

Oh, it wasn't so difficult.

You might even say...

it was a breeze.

Oh! [clears throat]

I must say, Rabbit, this anti-litter plan
of yours has really worked.

I can't remember
when Wonderland has looked so nice.

You should be very proud, Mr. Rabbit.

Thank you.

Uh, but I can't take all of the credit,
just most of it.

And now we'll have a lovely,
clean picnic area.

[gasping]

-Oh, no!
-The picnic area is full of litter!

-It's a mess!
-In fact, it's trashed!

Rabbit! What's the meaning of this?

You claimed
Wonderland was completely clean.

It is. I mean, it was.

I mean, I cleaned this area myself
this morning.

I want to know
who's responsible for this litter.

Well, some of this appears to be mine.

And some of it's mine too. Wait.

-I know what happened.
-Of course.

-Somebody's been stealing our litter.
-No!

When the wind
blew the litter out of our areas,

it all landed right here.

It has been pretty windy today.

Ah, then it's nobody's fault.

The wind is responsible for this problem.

And if you think about it, though,

it doesn't matter whose litter this is,
it still messes things up for everybody.

And litter has to go someplace.

Right. Besides, this litter
may have come from the Hatter

and Tweedle Dee's areas,

but any one of us could've
dropped it there in the first place.

I guess we all could be
a little more careful.

Well, there's only one thing to do
if we want our picnic.

We've all got to be responsible
and pitch in.

[rock music playing]

♪ Well, a picnic's no fun
With garbage all over the place ♪

♪ We've created an eyesore
Wonderland's a disgrace ♪

♪ Some awareness is best ♪

♪ Stop making a mess ♪

♪ Pitch in ♪

♪ Everybody, come on and pitch in ♪

♪ Maybe I've littered our paradise ♪

♪ But it couldn't have been
More than once or twice ♪

♪ I guess I've been a litterbug too ♪

♪ But I'm gonna stop and so should you ♪

♪ There's a really good reason

♪ Turn a new leaf, be smart

♪ Pitch in ♪

♪ Everybody come on and pitch in ♪

♪ Come on and pitch in ♪

All right!

Let's clean the rest of this up,
sort it for recycling,

-and then it's on with the picnic.
-Oh! After you, Hatter.

[laughing]

-[chattering]
-Paper, paper, paper...

Paper...

-Dinah, look what you've done!
-[meows]

Boy, I've heard of a litterbug
but not a littercat.

-[meows]
-Sorry.

I guess since all this stuff
did come out of my pockets,

it should be my responsibility
to clean it up.

I guess you could even say
this mess is a "litter" bit my fault.
