01x36 - He's Not Heavy, He's My Hatter

[bunniefuu]

[sighs]

What a long day, Dinah.
You're lucky you can sleep all you want.

I've been getting up early
to rehearse for the school play.

Not that you've noticed.

You don't even twitch when my alarm rings.

Boy, being in a play is hard.

It shouldn't be called a play.
It should be called a work.

But right now,
I'm ready for a different kind of play.

[man on TV]
You're watching HTV, Hats Television.

All hats, all the time.

Tune in tomorrow
when Hat TV presents Hat Chat,

the talk show where
everyone speaks off the top of their head.

[chattering and laughing]

-Hi, Mr. Hatter! What are you watching?
-Oh, just a little Hat TV.

-There's one channel just about hats?
-Yes. Isn't it incredible?

You'd think
there'd be at least three or four.

-Hatter, do I smell cookies?
-It's hard to say.

No, it's not. In fact, I'll say it again.
Hatter, do I smell cookies?

I do! Chocolate chip, I think.

Whoa! Were the cookies in here?
There must be dozens of them!

Not anymore.
Hatter, there are hardly any left!

Did you really eat
that many cookies by yourself?

If I ate that many cookies,
I'd get stuck in my teapot.

Well, I had no choice.

My dear old Granny Hatter sent them to me,
so I have to eat them all,

or she might think I didn't like them.

[gasping]

[scat singing] Oh, boy.

So you only ate the cookies
because you love your Granny?

Right.

Okay, and because they're delicious too.

But come on, can you blame me?

Granny Hatter's cookies
are close to my heart.

I'll say, they're just below it.

What, that?

Oh, that's nothing.

Hm. I just need to button my vest.

-This vest must have shrunk in the wash.
-Or maybe you grew.

Nonsense. I haven't gained an ounce,
and I'll prove it.

Crystal!

Whoa! "Too many cookies!"

Maybe Crystal's scale isn't working.

"Fat chance!"

And I agree.

Okay, maybe I have gained a little weight.

It's no big deal.

I just, uh, need to go on a little diet.
After I finish the rest of these cookies.

Mr. Hatter,
I don't think eating more cookies

is going to help you lose weight.

You're right, Alice.

But I can't help it!

[sobbing]

Whenever I see cookies,
I can't resist eating them.

Cookies are just too tempting to pass up.

When you really like something,
it is hard to resist temptation.

You know, maybe if I don't
have the cookies, I won't be tempted.

Hare, as my friend, I'm asking you
not to let me have any more cookies,

no matter what I say.

No problem. You can count on me.

Except...

-Maybe I could use one last nibble.
-Okay.

Wait! Mr. Hatter said,
don't give him the cookies no matter what.

Yes, but I can't refuse a friend.

No, Hare. Alice is right.

You can't give me the cookies
no matter how much I beg you.

-Okay?
-Okay.

No, Hare. I don't want these cookies!

Then stop asking for them!
It's really quite confusing.

Look, I've got an idea.

Hide the cookies
so Mr. Hatter won't be tempted.

That's a good idea.

Hide the coo--
Oh, you wanna start that now? Oh.

Hey, those veggies look good.

Oh, yeah. Good, and good for you.

Here, have a radish.

Thanks!

Yes, sir. Nothing like
fresh vegetables for a healthy snack.

Especially if you pretend
you're eating cookies.

Mmm!

Chocolate chip!

Chocolate chip? I thought
carrots only came in carrot flavor.

They do, unfortunately. I'm on a diet,
but all I can think of is eating cookies.

You don't have much willpower, do you?

What do you mean?

Willpower means
being able to do anything you want

by just putting your mind to it.

Then I don't need willpower,
I need won't power.

I have to do something

so that I won't be tempted
to gobble cookies.

Hey, why not keep busy
so you won't think about eating?

Keep busy? Doing what?

This always works for me.

You could play with a rubber mouse.

[cackling]

Play with a rubber mouse. How silly!

Besides, all we have are rubber chickens.

[squawks]

[squawks]

Oh, all right, all right.

But, you know,
the cat might be right about keeping busy.

In fact...

I'll just unpack this box of hats.

Soon, I won't be
thinking of cookies at all.

Chocolate chip!

Mmm! Mmm! Hm?

I can't stand it anymore!

I've got to find out
where the Hare hid my cookies!

[yelps]

-Hey, Hatter!
-[yells]

-Hi, guys.
-What are you doing?

Not much.
Certainly not looking for cookies.

That's for sure.

Speaking of cookies,

Hare tells us your Granny
doesn't like to see a Hatter go hungry.

Hey, it's no big deal.

I just need to lose a couple pounds.

That's why we're here.

One good way to lose weight
is to exercise.

And since we have some equipment,
we're here to help you.

Thanks for the offer--

-Oh, come on!
-Come on!

Wait! What are you doing?

[whistle blows]

-All right, Hatter!
-What?

First, we'll do
a few stretching and warm-up exercises.

Then we'll jump some rope.

Lift weights.

Then we'll go for a good long run.

All in one day?

Why, you're gonna work and stretch

-until you can barely move.
-Until you can barely move!

Boy, I hope it's as fun as it sounds.

Now, Hatter, it's important
to warm up before exercising.

You mean, we haven't started yet?

Let's stretch those muscles a little bit.
All right, touch your toes.

-Gee, Hatter, don't wear yourself out.
-Oh, nonsense.

What's the point of exercise
unless you work at it? So now what?

How about lifting weights?

Don't need to.
I've already done some lifting.

No offense, Hatter,
but lifting the cookie jar doesn't count.

Forget about lifting weights.

Why don't you just go jogging?
That's great exercise.

Jogging, as in run around the forest?

-Yeah.
-Excellent idea.

And it's the perfect way
to top off this great workout.

Thanks, guys.

[huffing]

If you ask me, his idea of exercise

is lifting a tea cup with one hand
and a cookie with the other.

Well, at least we got him to go for a run.

[gasping]

Yes, sir, there's nothing like running.

Especially when you're
in a hurry to find cookies!

[yells]

Oh.

Hello, Hatter.

Hello, Hare.
Still trying to hide the cookies, I see.

I have to find just the right spot.

Well, go right ahead.

Because I'm not even
a bit tempted to eat cookies.

I've got plenty of won't power.

-I thought it was willpower.
-It's both.

I use my willpower
so that I won't eat cookies.

-Oh, I see.
-That's the way that works.

Well, so long.

In fact, you know, now that
I've decided to diet and exercise,

I'm a very healthy Hatter.

So I could probably have a cookie
without even worrying about it.

Maybe. But I can't give you any.

After all, you said
to take these cookies--

Hare. Hare!


You know, let's not quibble
over what I did or didn't say.

Let's just celebrate the new me with,
say, a few cookies?

If you ask me,
the new you still looks like the old you.

Hare, come on. Just one little cookie.

For your buddy. For old times' sake.

Please!

Pretty please!

Pretty please with chocolate chips on top!

Hatter, look over there!

Some friend he is,

hiding my cookies
just because I asked him to.

Excuse me, Hare. What are you doing?

Looking for somewhere
to hide Hatter's cookies.

Why?

Well, Hatter's trying to lose weight.

He asked me to hide these
so he won't be tempted to eat them.

He's trying to get in shape, eh?

Well, he's already in shape.

It's just that
his shape looks like a beach ball.

[laughing]

Ultimately, because I exercise,

I'm in great shape, as you can see.

I really wouldn't know
what shape is correct for a caterpillar.

This is the correct shape.

And speaking of exercise,

exercise your imagination
while listening to this story.

"Once, there was an elephant named Lucille

who was so out of shape
that she couldn't keep up with her herd.

And if the herd needed to really run,

Lucille really got left behind.

Lucille was tired of being out of shape.

But she thought
that exercising was too hard and no fun.

Then, a friend of Lucille's named Roxy
offered to exercise with her.

Roxy convinced Lucille
to go with her to the jungle gym.

Lucille and Roxy exercised hard every day.

And soon, Lucille was in great shape.

From then on, Lucille didn't have
any trouble keeping up with her herd.

In fact, the herd
had trouble keeping up with Lucille."

Great story.

Oh, and speaking of exercise,
I'd better run along.

I need to find the perfect hiding place
for these cookies.

Perhaps you should let me hide them.

I assure you the Hatter won't find them
if he looks around here.

I bet he won't.

But no, thanks.

I think I'll look
for a hiding place that's a little safer.

Well, try to do a favor for a friend
and that's the thanks you get. Well...

All right, Your Majesty, your turn.

Good move, Alice, good move.

Oh, whose side are you on, Rabbit?

Yours, of course, Your Majesty.
But you must admit, Alice was very--

Oh, quiet! I'm trying to think!

Oh!

Now what?

Well, far be it from me
to interrupt your game, Your Majesty,

but are you sure
you want to make that move?

Yes, I'm sure.

In fact, I'm sure I'm sure.

So you see, I don't need anyone's advice,

especially on a simple game of chess.

[gasping]

Sorry, Your Majesty,
it looks like I win again.

Oh, harrumph! Oh!

I wouldn't have lost
if someone weren't distracting me.

Oh! What are you doing?

Looking for a place
to hide Hatter's cookies

since he doesn't have much won't power.

Won't power? Don't you mean willpower?

No, because the Hatter
won't stop eating cookies without my help.

I think the will in willpower
means your will, as in your mind.

Not will, as in the opposite of won't.

Well, I have a very strong will,

and I won't have the Hatter
running around my palace,

looking for cookies.

But it's only for a little while.
And this is the perfect hiding place!

And, Your Majesty, if this is
indeed the perfect hiding place,

then the Hatter won't know
to come down looking--

Oh, all right!
Put them under my throne, if you want.

Oh!

Thank you, Your Majesty!

You're more than a queen.

You're a pal.

Don't push it.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

I'm sure Mr. Hatter's so busy
with his dieting and exercising,

he doesn't even care
where his cookies are hidden.

Hm.

Hm. Let's see.

If I were a cookie jar,
where would I hide?

[coughs]

[gasping]

Finally!

Granny Hatter's cookies.

Ooh, at last!

I can taste them already.

[alarm blaring]

What? What?

Not so fast, Hatter.
I'll take these cookies, if you please.

You got caught
with your hand in the cookie jar.

Fortunately, I rigged this cookie jar

with my patented
anti-cookie stealer alarm.

I guess the idea of eating cookies
was too tempting, huh?

Yes, Alice.

I admit it.

For days, I climbed trees,

swam rivers, and ran all over Wonderland

just to try and find
my dear old Granny Hatter's cookies.

But does that make me a bad Hatter?

Well, I don't see
what all the fuss is about.

You don't look like
you need to lose weight.

What, are you kidding?
My belly is as big as a basketball.

[gasps] Wait. How did that happen?

Mr. Hatter, you're back in shape!

I can even button my vest again!

But I didn't exercise.

All I did was run
all over Wonderland looking for cookies.

Don't you see, Mr. Hatter?
Running all over Wonderland was exercise.

Alice is right.

You got back in shape
without even knowing it.

How about that? You're so smart,
you fooled yourself into exercising.

Hey, now that I'm back in shape,
there's no harm in eating a few cookies.

But, Mr. Hatter,
don't you want to stay in shape?

Hm. I guess so.

Now that you mention it, I do feel good.

That's because
it feels great to be in great shape.

So I'll just have to use willpower
to get myself out of the house tomorrow,

no matter how much I'm tempted
to stay in bed with you.
