[Traffic whirs]

Yumm-a-riffic!

Oh-h*-h*.

Someone enjoyed his acorn fritatta.

Now for my favourite part of every meal.

Dishes!

[Humming]

Weird. It looks a little like-

Mold!? [Panicked breaths]

Don't panic. Take a deep breath.

Can't breathe.

Okay. Okay.

This in no way reflects

On my finely honed cleaning skills.

Which have been recognized with many awards...

That I polish hourly.

You can't control biology, richard.

In the unclean world of nature,

Sometimes molds just-

[Attack] rraaahhhhhh!

[Flames roar]

Never knew what hit'em!

[Doorbell rings]

Do you mind getting that? Richard?

The door. Do you mind getting-

Oh fine.

Ahhh! Scaredy,

Look what I made!

Dave. Wow. It's beautiful.

I hope so. I had to use all of my ear wax.

Ughh!

Swan: oh, thank you! Thank you so much!

Fine. I admit it.

I covered a swan in ear wax.

That's really gross.

Meh. Hey, when did you get carpet in your kitchen?

Carpet in my kitchen? I didn't get-

Ahh! What in the walnuts!

This isn't carpet, it's fun!

No dave! Mold is never fun!

You sure,

'Cause I'm havin' a pretty good time here.

Ewww!

This must be a new species of mold.

You can turn it into anything.

Dave: out of my way bath tub!

[Loud crash]

It could be the most useful discovery

In the history of the world!

If it weren't mold.

But it is.

And nothing will stop me from destroying it!

Time to buy more cleaning supplies.

Dave: uh, little help up here.

Ooo. I feel like a present.

Scaredy: okay, vinegar, bleach, baking soda,

Lemons, tea tree oil, annnd-

Bernie's betcha regret that hot sauce.

Good call dave. Carrying all that was- ahhhhh!

Surprise! I'm sorry!

Scaredy: sorry?!

You took this from my house?

Is this all of it?!

Tell me this is all of it!

Yes.

Except for the pieces I threw away.

The pieces you whaaaat?!

Oh scaredy, I know it was wrong,

But I only wanted to keep one little piece.

Just to, ya know, play with it.

But it kept growing!

And each time it got too big for my pocket...

I would break it in half and throw one half away.

[Gasp]

[Snores] I can see! I can see!

[Snores]

[Crying]

[Crying]

Relax. It was like two pieces.

Three? Seven! Maybe 20.

Bagaaazagah!! Ahhhhhhhhh!!

How bad could it be?

[Gasp] oof!

Yippeee.

I suppose this is somehow my fault?

Yes. Now the [twitch] mold is everywhere!

You don't know that!

Mayor runswell: this mold is everywhere!

Who you gonna trust,

The obvious truth or your best friend?

Oh mayor runswell, this is all because of me!

The mold came up through my sink and I tried to-

Well done, scaredy!

Here's a key to the city.

This mold is the best thing to happen to balsa

Since the last time something great happened

That eventually turned horrible

And nearly cost us everything!

No no. No!

We need to clean this stuff up right away!

Now ,don't go pulling a scaredy on me!

Are people saying that now?

I hereby declare this mold a protected species.

[Gavel sloshes]

Yay!

Oh well... Can't unbang a gavel.

Fine. I-i won't clean the city.

Scaredy wait!

g*ng way, mold jet pack.

Where are you going?

Scaredy: he can't stop me from cleaning my own house.

Maybe I can stop the mold at the source!

Oh.

Whooooooaaaa!

Whooooooaaaa!

I found your remote!

Balsa will soon be nothing but mold!

Who cares about a tv remote?!

Well,when I can't find mine I go ka-raaazy.

Wonder if it'll work from here.

[Mold whooshes]

Ahhh! [Twitches] gah-dah-eeeee-zak-ahhh!

Must have pressed the wrong button.

[Alternates between giggling and crying]

S'over. House gone. Mold... [Gag]

I feel woozy... Wins.

I'll just-i'll just- I live with it.

Wanna stay at my place tonight?

I ate some mold. No big deal.

Mold is my home now. Not home...

Mold is my castle.

Uhmmm okay, whatcha doin'?

Scaredy: citizens of balsa!

I am the king of mold!

[Crazed laughter]

Somebody is one cuckoo clock shy

Of the right amount of cuckoo clocks.

Mayor runswell: scaredy! Quick! We need your-

Me mold moo mold mikalakataka!

What's wrong with him?

My medical diagnosis?

He's lost his marbles.

Here's a prescription for marbles.

Well, he's gotta snap out of it!

That mold of his is everywhere and-

Ignore this. I'm listening.

At first the mold was soft and amazing but now-

It's hardening over the entire city like a big, green crust!

Scaredy! Save balsa! Save us all!

I'll take care of this.

Scaredy! It's time to clean!

Clean! [Echoes]

[Crackles]

Cleeean!

[Gasps] tell me what's happened!

I was a doctor!

The mold is taking over everything

And we need you to-

[Struggling]

Need you to stop it.

It's no longer a protected species?

Gnno.

And you want me to clean it?

Yiiiss.

There's only one thing that can stop that mold now.

You don't mean...

Yes.

The cleansday weapon!

Yes! No!

[Higher pitch] dyuuu yt!

Wow!

Why didn't we just use this in the first place?

It doesn't fit in my kitchen.

Dave: ah.

Time to make the mold go bye-bye.

[Rapid firing]

Yippeee! [Snores]

Hurray!

[Mumble] [crying]

Woo-hoo! Yeah! All right!

Uh oh. Oh no!

Ah?

[Crying] yeeppie!

Move! Move! Move!

Ow!

Daaaaaaave! Help!

Ahhhhh!

Now what?

I gotta think of a new plan!

Then think!

Why are you carrying me?

I don't know!

Scaredy: c'mon, scaredy! Think!

There must be something that-

Dave, this place is gross! It's covered in...

Garbage?

I was gonna get a trash can

But they become obsolete so quickly

And then the new trash cans come out

And you feel like you got ripped off.

Makes me mad.

No mold! There's no mold in here!

Your house is the only place where it isn't growing!

Why is that?

[Screams]

Filth! The mold hates filth!

Come on, dave!

Let's go.

Why are you carrying me again!

I don't know.

Scaredy: people of balsa city!

This mold can only be stopped by filth,

So, I can't believe I'm saying this... [Chuckle]

Make our city filthy!

Scatter your garbage!

Carelessly throw mud!

Blow your nose without using tissues!

I do these things every day,

Now it's your turn!

[Giggles]

Scaredy, you did it!

Thank you! You did all of this!

[Gasp]

So... Much... Filth!

[Crazed laughter]

Citizens of balsa!

I am the king of trash!

Oh boy...

What's wrong with him?

He's gonna need more marbles.

[Crazed laughter]

♪♪♪

C'mon scaredy! Rod'll be on soon!

[Flame whooshes]

In a minute dave!

Popping corn in a rush

Is the leading cause of all corn related injuries.

Then don't rush, just hurry!

Why are you so interested in rod hippopotamus anyway?

Popcorn?

Hmmmm.

Yeah. That was probably my fault.

Shhhh! It'sh shhtarting!

Announcer: and now, the balsa action news team's

Very own rod hippopotamus with the hip list.

Popcorn. Seriously?

So last year.

Especially while watching tv!

Announcer: lame!

It's all about cheese filled pretzels.

They're on the hip list.

Announcer: totally hip!

Scaredy: whatever, rod.

People aren't going to just stop eating pop-

You know what I could go for right now, scaredy?

Cheese filled pretzels?

Some cheese filled pretzels!

Crowd: let us in! We wanna check the stock room!

Somebody's on my foot!

Stay back!

I've got a poking stick and I know how to use it!

Huh. Apparently I don't know how to use it.

Scaredy: nestor! What's going on?

What happened?!

Rod hippopotamus happened!

We don't have any cheese filled pretzel left!

You mean... You're sold out?!

Every store in town is sold out!

The pretzel company is sold out!

And you know al cheesepretzel?

The cheese filled pretzel king of the northwest? Ya?

Somebody ate him!

What?!

Okay. Stop!

Think for a second!

Do you really love cheese filled pretzels?

Or do you want them because rod told you to?

Hatton: oh, maybe you're right, scaredy.

I don't like cheese or pretzels.

So I don't know why I'm acting so-

Buck: hey!

I bet there's cheese filled pretzels in this paint store!

[Glass shatters]

[Sighs]

So? Did you guys learn anything

From last night's little... Incident?

[Shamed] yes.

The paint store was out of pretzels too.

Hey, do you guys wanna talk about how cool

And influential rod is?

I heard oakmobile sold a thousand log-vans

Because of the hip list.

I heard rod put a million bees out of work

When he said honey's lame.

[Sad groans]

[Buzzing]

Come on, guys!

Trying to be cool is the least cool thing you can do.

Momma: your attention.

At twelve o'clock sharp,

Rod hippopotamus will be here to see

If our store should make the hip list!

Dave: rrroooooooodddddd!

[Cheering]

[Crying]

[Giggling]

Silence! I need everyone to be at their best!

And your best better be much better than this!

[Belches]

Momma: ughh.

Okay. C'mon team,

We'll make this store sparkle hard!

Wow. When the queen visited,

They wouldn't even put on pants.

Great work, everybody.

Dave: this is it, guys!

Any second now, we're gonna be hip!

[Claps, giggling]

[Faking enthusiasm] awesome!

Scaredy: I guess it's hip to be late?

Nestor: shhhhhhhhhhh!

Scaredy: [snoring]

Rod: ...but then the waiter says "I'm sorry, sir,

But that's not on the menu". To me!

Mr. Hippopotamus! Welcome to the-

Sorry about that, ortega.

I don't know, some lame-wad.

Serious? Serious?

Seriously?

That's why I buy my toilet paper overseas.

I know! Every book, band, movie

And sunset is so overrated!

Wow. Can you believe that guy?!

I know!

Rod...is...awesome!

[Cheering] he sure is!

Buck: his glasses were so trendy!

Dave: and his hair wasn't overly messy

But it wasn't underly messy.

It was perfectly messy!

Hatton: and that thing he was riding?

Whoa. I bet it came from asia!

Ohhh! I can't wait to see it on tv!

Dave: hip list party at my place!

Nestor: come on, everybody! It's starting!

Rod: so, I went to the stash 'n hoard?

[Wild cheer] nestor: stash 'n hoard!

Rod: how awful is this place!

Dave: yeah! Whoooo! [Cheer fades]

Momma: I don't get it!

Does anybody here speak hipster?!

Hatton: I took a year of hipster in college.

Bad means cool.

Sick means cool.

Hot means cool.

Pretty much everything means cool.

Except cool... That means radiator.

Rod: the grossest food, the slowest employees,

And the ugliest decor.

And they have this stacker there

Named scaredy squirrel?

I can't even begin to describe that guy.

I don't care what action news rod says.

All that matters is that I know how cool I am.

Rod: and he stacks, without a doubt,

The worst...displays...ever!

Oh no you did not.

Scaredy is, the least hip grocery store employee

In the world!

Announcer lamer than above ground pools.

Dave: meh...coulda been worse.

At least rod didn't single anyone out.

Buck: um, he totally slammed scaredy!

Dave: oh! Well, at least he wasn't here to see it.

Now that would be awkward.

Scaredy: I'm right here dave!

Dave: scaredy. Shh. You're ruining the party.

This couldn't have gone worse!

[Murmuring]

Dave: great now I have to eat 48 croissants

All by myself.

Thank you very much.

[Sighs]

[Wind gusts]

I can't believe rod's report

Actually drove all our customers away.

Momma: no one's going to shop at a grocery store

That's not hip!

Let's give the store a hipster makeover!

Get rod back in and then bam!

We'll be on the hip list!

And who is going tell us what hip is?

You?! Ha! Seriously. Who?!

We could buy everyone a copy of rod's new book,

Hip's ahoy!

And redo the store the way rod would!

Let's do this!

Shelves are lame? Okay...

[Effort grunts]

The only cool colour is no colour.

You got it, hippo!

Scatting is cool?

♪ Scibbitty scap scap ba dibbitty da bop be do bap ♪

♪ Heebie jeebie scoop scop scadowwww ♪

[Belches]

Scaredy: can you look even more bored?

[Groans]

Liiiittle more.

[Groans]

Perfect! We're ready for you this time, rod.

Prepare to be altered by... Stash!

Rod: nice unitard.

Hatton: [thoughtful] produce is a state of mind.

Buck mildred momma: [buddhist chanting]

Hmmm.

It's a comment on our government's lack of support

For the weakened agricultural industry.

I see.

Nailed it.

Rod: ...and incredibly, the stash 'n hoard...

Or stash is even worse than it was before!

And so-called head stacker, scaredy squirrel?

This guy has absolutely no clue what cool is.

If you were to look up the word lame in the dictionary,

That would be lame.

But not as lame as the new stash 'n hoard.

Announcer: lamesville, ohio, population...you.

You just made things even worse

Than they were before, squirrel!

This makes no sense.

According to his own book,

Rod should've loved the changes we made.

Nestor: but he didn't love them! Did he?!

It's almost like rod has it in for us or something!

Doesn't matter, it's over!

I am closing the store.

Squirrel, you're in charge of packing up the archives.

Umm, archives?

I didn't know this was down here!

I didn't either. Until I was down here.

Then I knew.

That makes sense.

All the historical records are here

Including these head stacker files!

These are all files on former head stackers?

Oh yes. Ya never know who mighta stacked in this store

At one time or another.

Maybe even somebody you know!

Somebody who got fired long ago

But still has an axe to grind?

[Caugh] well, good luck!

All right, better get started.

Scaredy: this guy looks familiar...

Roderickus francis hippopotamus?

Rod! Rod hippopotamus!

It can't be!

Fired ten years ago today?

For a stacking mishap?

Yes! The security tape from rod's last day of work!

Oh, come on, rod!

That foundation is unsafe!

What would happen if someone took the fourth can

From the left on the third level? Huh?

Aww, what adorable puppies.

[Gasp] no puppy!

Not that can!

Put it back! Put it back!

Aghhhhh!

[Softly] puppies.

Whoa man, this danny duck,

Like reporting live from the stash n' hoard,

Where it's believed that no less than eight

Of the cutest puppies you've ever seen

Have been trapped by the shoddy stacking

Of an unhip hippo named roderickus.

This is really great production value

For a security tape!

Dan duck: how long will it take for balsa

To forget about this tragedy.

And how long before this lame hippo

Will seek misdirected revenge

On his former employers.

I knew it!

Nothing's wrong with this store!

Or my stacking.

Time for scaredy squirrel to take roderickus

Off the hip list.

...and so, that is why recycling is totally uncool.

And speaking of "uncool",

What are you doing here?

Sorry for showing up uninvited.

But the stash 'n hoard wasn't given a fair review.

For serious? Seriously?

Are you being serious?

Your store is totally lame. Deal with it!

[Sighs] you're probably right.

I have this tape to show you

How cool we are now,

But you'd probably just make fun of us for trying so...

Rod: what a wonderful idea.

Roll the tape, ben!

Please roderickus, no.

Too late friend, and i-

Wait, did you call me roderickus?

Hey! What is this!?!

Stop the tape! Stop it!

This isn't the last you'll see

Of roderickus francis hippopotamus!

One day, when you've forgotten all about me,

I'll have my revenge!

Don't even try it hippo!

I will never forget you!

Never! Nevverrr!

You'd think I would have remembered that.

Scaredy: you see, balsa?

We don't need somebody to tell us what's hip!

Especially not fraud-rickus hippopotamus!

In fact...

Rod is 30 years old!

And we all know that no one over 25 can know what's cool!

He is a total phoney!

Rod: [girly running scream]

Heh. So lame.

Announcer: king of lame:

[Belches]

[Laughing]

Scaredy, now that rod is un-hip,

The people of balsa have no idea what is hip.

Any help for our viewers?

Yes. The coolest thing anyone can do

Is to not care what someone else says is cool!

There you have it balsa,

Stop caring, scaredy says that's cool.

No that's not what I meant-

This is dan duck signing off.

Hatton: tomorrow I'm going to wear pants on my head -

That show I don't care!

Buck: I'm going to speak in a made up language.

Who cares!

Nestor: scaredy, move everything around

So customers can't find it.

I'll show them who's cool!

Yeah... That was probably my fault.
