02x05 - The Family Business

[bunniefuu]

You got 5 minutes left
to get it there.

Otherwise, I take it
out of your pay.

Always with the late
duty, he says.

Like the pizza
turns to poison
if it's 5 minutes late.

Here's what I think
of your pizza, mr. Bronski.

Whoa. Dude.

That's some gnarly trash.

Far out.

Loonatics, ready, set...

Let's jet!

We've got a food fight
to stop.

Help!

Looks like a u.f.p.--

Unidentified
flying pizza.

Blahh!

That was a close one.

Closer than you think.

Help! Help!
Would somebody help me?

Half a battle. Look like
a cheese w*r to me.

I'd recognize
that face anywhere.

Yeah. He looks like
that lazy slacker

Who always shows up late
with our pizza.

I know you. You're
the one who never tips.

I'll give you a tip--aah!

Pizza!

Hey, hey, hey!
Take it easy there, big guy.

There's duck.

Slam, you can munch
on duck later.

We gotta stop
the pizza dude from making
any more deliveries.

Guess you picked
the wrong day to fire me,
huh, mr. Bronski?

Ok, toby, ok.

You're rehired.

You can even take


Every other monday.

No. I'm the boss now,

And you've
just been terminated.

No!

* Rock 'n' set,
loonatics, let's jet *

* Rev, lexi, and tech *

* Slam, and duck *

* Rock 'n' set, let's jet *

* Ace is cool
and leads the pack *

* Laser sword

* When big, bad bots
smash and attack *

* Whoo! Powers
to protect and serve *

* Tons of ego,
lots of nerve *

* Never question,
never swerve *

* Loonatics unleashed *

Thanks, bird.

Believe me, I know
how tough delivery jobs are,

Having been in the biz
for years, until I became
a crimefighter.

That's almost as dangerous,
but you do get a good
dental plan,

Which you need, getting
smacked in the beak
all the time.

Know what I'm saying?

Aah!

Whoa. Wh-wh-whoa.

Ha ha ha ha!

All of this
over a measly tip?

Whoa, dudes, it's not me.

I couldn't help it.

Th-th-that thing,
it was controlling me.

Let me guess: another
accidental super villain?

What's next, villains with
notes from their parents?

It's like I was possessed.

Give us the scoop
on this hardhat, tech.

Well, to put it simply,

It's an extra-terrestrial
bio-tech synapse power site

That enables the host
with thought control
levitation powers.

To put it simpler,
a thing-a-ma-jig.

Mm-hmm. My pizza guy
said he couldn't control
his actions.

That's right. Once
the thing-a-ma-jig attached,

It took over his free will

And acted only on his
deepest, darkest desires.

And those
deep, dark desires

Scored us plenty
of free eats for saving
pizza guy's boss.

At least take them
out of the box first.

He's lucky you
blasted it off when you did

Or it would have been
stuck to him permanently

Until it decided
to leave on its own.

Now just here,
a little window here.

Can't anybody else
find the dishwasher?

Man, what's the rush?

Dig in.

Sorry. Can't. No time.
Gotta clean up.

Gotta get organized. Gotta
make room for visitors,

Who I forgot to mention I
invited. They're coming from out
of town

And they'll
be here any second!

Which means this second.

Mom! Pop!

There he is!
How's that son of mine?

So good to see you after
such a long, long while

Not seeing him, but finally
seeing him in his new digs

Where he hangs his feathers.
And this must be the super
crimefighting crew

I've heard about, and,
of course, I'm ralph runner

And this is harriet. Just
call us ma and pa runner,
and this is rip.

Hey.

Whoa! Settle down, son,
and let the grownups

Get a word in edgewise. And I
see you ordered pizza,
which I love.

Especially with
those little sesame seeds.

It is so good
to see you, rev, honey,

Even if I should scold you
for not calling more.

Just look at you and that
delicious looking pizza.

Oh, but I couldn't.
Maybe I should.

Maybe just a sliver.
Just a bit, a bite,

A gnosh, a smidgen, a tad.
Oh, sure.

Aah! My brain is melting.

There's a whole family
of them.

I'm checking into a hotel.

Uh, folks, I think
you need to slow down
just a little

For their sakes, ok?

So...nice...to...
Meet...you.

Ok. Not quite
that slow, mom.

Well, hi. How are you?
Nice to meet you.

Now, don't tell me.
I'm really good with names.

Mace, dislexi, spam,

Dork, and, oh, yeah,

The coyote.

Oh!

Oh, dear.

And no leash.

Sorry. They have
coyote issues.

Maybe I should
get back to work.

Wouldn't want to accidentally
eat your ma and pa.

Uh...

Now, son, let's talk

About you joining
the family business.

No, pop,
I'm a crime fighter,
not a gadget salesman.

Let rip help you out.

Rip? Oh, no place
in business for a slacker.

There he goes again.

I am so out of here.

He talks so slow,
I can barely understand him.

Let me show you around.

Rev, son, you've always
been the best

At whatever you set
your sights on,
but saving the world

Is a dead end job.

Here you go, son.
Here's a little cash

To tide you over
until your next paycheck.

We don't get paid, mom.

What did I tell you?
Volunteer work.

So I guess the family
trade of making money
selling gadgets

Is beneath you.

Whoa, what is that thing?

Just one of those
dangerously powerful

Bio-tech brain parasites
from outer space.

Whoa!

Well, speaking of gadgets.

No! Don't touch
the molecular reconstructer.

Sweet-meep-meep.

Whoa! Look at that.

Hee hee hee.

Whoa, yeah!

Sweet-meep-meep.

This place is a gold mine
of gadgets.

I mean, not bad
for a coyote.

Hmm. So, how much
for one of these babies?

My inventions
are not for sale.

I see. Playing hard ball.
But I can play
hard ball, too.


And that's my final offer.

No.
I meant 65/35.

No way.


Not today.


Gotta go.


See ya.


I'm gone.

Pop, he's really
not interested.

Well, I think the coyote
has roadrunner issues.

Gee, pop, it you want
a gadget so bad,

I can show you
what I'm working on.

What's this?

It's a robo amigo.

A robo amigo?
Now you're talking.

That old scrap heap?

He's been working
on that thing forever.

We'll finish it
back at home together
like the old days.

Hmm. Well, I'd
really like to, pop,

But I have important
crimefighting duties here.

No sweat, rev.

Spend some time
with the family.

If any end-of-the-world
crisis comes up,

We'll give you a buzz.

Adults don't need
a robo amigo.

Pop should sell it to kids.

Rip, stop bothering
your brother.

Can't you see he's doing
important work?

How's my genius
with a wrench doing?

I can make anything fun.

Oh, yeah!

Well, still a few bugs
technically-wise, but
marketing-wise,

How about if we sell 'em
to kids instead of adults?

Why, that's--that's--
that's--that's brilliant!

Hey, what am i,
invisible?

You see, rev,
I'm tapping into

All the inventing
and marketing talent
you've always had.

I am so out of here.

But it was actually
rip's idea, pop.

Never mind, chop-chop.
If we're gonna launch
robo amigo

In time for
the holiday season,
we need it done yesterday.

Super speed won't
help me make this work,

But there may be
someone who can.

Oh, please, please, please,
please help me make
my pop proud of me

Because I've never
let him down, but
I can't do it alone

Without a super genius
wizard to finish it.

And by the way,
did I tell you
how sharp you look today?

Ok. Ok. Since you admit
you're out of your league,
I'll help.

But what about
those coyote issues?

Well, I told him
you're a vegetarian,

So if they offer you
bird seed, go along with it.

It doesn't feel right,
him being here,

Even if he is
a vegetarian.

He just wants to learn
from the best, right, tech?

Hee hee hee hee!

That's right, and the best
is definitely in the room.

Well, I'm glad to see
a coyote who knows
his limitations.

I present to you
the robo amigo!

I can make anything fun.

New from robo enterprises,

It's robo amigo!

He plays with you,
stays with you,

Eats with you,
he helps you with homework,

Fights bullies,
and unlike most kids,

He's self cleaning
and leaves no unsightly
odors or stains.

Who needs friends
when you have a robo amigo?

Your invention's
a smash hit, son.

I think this calls for
a trip to my office.

But pop, no on goes into
your office but you ever.

Let's check it out.

Sorry, rip. Just rev.

His invention
has earned him the right

To enter the inner circle of
the runner family business.

But--

Breaking news.

A monstrous creature
is attacking acmetropolis

And the police
can't contain it.

Hold on, pop. My real--
I mean other job's
calling me.

Be right back.

That's my super son.

Super speed,
super inventor,

Super salesman.

I'm super sick and tired
of it.

Hmm. What's this?

Access granted.
Welcome, rev runner.

Oh, with something cool
like this,

Maybe pop will
finally notice me.

Yeah.

Yaah!

Ha ha ha ha!

Oh, he'll notice me,
all right.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Gee, guys, I'm sorry
I didn't get here in time.

I've been really busy.

Oh, yeah. Making toys
for rugrats.

What are you, a crimefighter
or one of santa's elves?

I know it's been
taking up my time,

But helping the family business
is so important to pop

And I'm a little too tall
to be an elf,

But I promise
I'll be with you guys,

Ready to fight evil-doers
any where, any time,
any how!

Hey, don't sweat it, rev. -
Yeah. No biggie.

I'll never forget you guys
for being so understanding,

Even though I cannot promise
I'll never forget

Because you never know
when you might get
whacked on the head

And forget everything,
even forgetting about
not forgetting.

Yeah, that's
a great story,

But we ought to get
handsome here in the cell.

Destroying stuff
is so much fun.

I can make anything fun.

You're not supposed
to do that, robo amigo.

Mmm! Yum, yum, yum!

Or especially that.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

I'll bet by concentrating
my new powers

Into robo amigo's
central processor

I can control
all of them at once.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha!

All across acmetropolis,

The hugely popular
robo amigos

Are turning from
every kid's best friend

Into every parent's
worst nightmare.

No word yet from their
maker, runner enterprises.

That's it. We're finished.
Washed up,

Out of business,
put a fork in me, I'm done.

Try a seed bun, dear.
It'll keep your strength up.

Pop, I'm sure
I can find the answer.

Yeah, it's called
total product recall,

Then bankruptcy,
then homelessness.

Oh, dear. And I
just bought new curtains.

Once I fix whatever made
robo amigo go berserk,

We can send a repair chip
to every customer--

Oh, seed buns! Yummy!
My favorite!

Thanks, mom, and I know
just what I have to do.

Please, please, please,
please, please, please.

Please, please, please,
please, please, please.

Please, please...
Don't make me beg.

Uh, you are begging.

Then please make me stop.

Ok, ok, I'll help you,

But only because
I want to know how something
I designed broke down.

Oh, thanks, tech.
If you weren't a coyote--

And a guy--i'd kiss you!

Then lucky for me
I'm both.

Hmm.

Sensors, chips,
and security interface

All checks out fine.

Maybe the glitch
is in the remote.

Don't let him
go over the--

Cliff.

I came prepared this time.

Great, tech,
but what about robo amigo?

If it's not
in internal problem, then
what's flipping him out?

Something external.

Robo amigo's
being controlled
by someone or something

On the outside.

And that would be me, bro.

Rip, is that you?

How does it feel to be
a super failure, rev?

He can't help himself.

He's possessed
by the bio-tech parasite.

It's making him act out
on his deepest,
darkest feelings.

Time to show pop
who's top bird.

I've discovered
what I'm super at--

Destroying things.

And there's no better way to
begin my new career choice

Than with the biggest
target of all--

Acmetropolis!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ah ha ha ha ha ha!

Eh, this can't be good.

People of acmetropolis,

Fear for your lives!

The rip is on a tear.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

I've already got
a signature taunt.

I'm really sorry
about everything,

But I don't get to see
my family often--

Hey, it's ok, rev.

We all have
family problems sometimes.

We got even bigger
problems.

When rip snatched
the parasite,

He also took my molecular
reconstructer.

So what's he gonna do,
make robo amigo tiny amigo?

Oh, quite the opposite.

Come on, people.
Let's have some fun.

Pop says
I have no ambition.

How's that for thinking big?
Ha ha ha ha ha!

Destroying a city is fun.

Fleeing, panic, screaming.

It's good
to finally be noticed.

Come back!
Don't you want to play?

Robo amigo gone wrong
is an inventor's
worst nightmare,

But if I can reach his head,
I can shut him down.

Then we can work together
to repair the damage.
What do you say, rip?

No! You're doing it again.

It's always about you.

This time it's about me.

This is not fun.

Little brother,
you need to chill.

Try some yoga.

Hyah!

I think the answer is no.

What do I have to do
to get you to stop?

I want you to fight me.

I can't fight
my little brother.

I don't think
you have a choice.

Had enough of me yet?

No, you're still
my brother,

Even if you are
making it difficult
to remember.

We've got to find a way
to get that thing off him.

If you can
get him into the open,

Maybe I could hit the thing
with my laser vision.

Just be careful
not to hurt rip, ok?

It's not rip
I'm worried about.

Hey!

Normally
I don't hit girls,

But as you can see, I'm
not too normal these days.

Now, ace!
Take the shot!

Aah!

Aah!

So, uh, what's up, doc?

Ha! Definitely not you.

The parasite's
been attached so long,

I don't know
if we can get it off.

I'm afraid
it's going nowhere
until it wants to leave.

Oh, boy.
My parents are gonna freak!

They flip out
when I leave my room a mess.

Hey, little fella.

Give me that amigo!
Ha ha ha ha ha!

Double the destruction,
double the fun.

Oh, no! The situation was
bad enough with one amigo.

Now there are two!

Ok, that's a challenge.

He's unstoppable!

Maybe there's a way
we can scare that alien
gizmo off of him.

No, no, not we.
Just me!

Ok, little brother,
you want a fight,
you got a fight.

Give it your best shot.

This is going to be sweet.

Catch me if you can.

I knew you were
too chicken to fight.

Hey! No one calls
a roadrunner chicken.

Let me go!

Hey, are you crazy?

What are you doing?

Getting
my little brother back.

Thanks, rev.

You know, I didn't mean
those things I said.

Yeah, you did,
but it's ok.

I'm just sorry I wasn't
a better listener earlier.

After all the things
I did to you,

You risked everything
to save me.

Hey, forget about it, rip.
That's what brothers do.

They look out
for each other.

Sweet-meep-meep!

Now, that's what I call
a fender bender.

Mom, pop, what
are you guys doing here?

We saw you boys on tv
and thought we'd
come down to see ya.

I've got great news.

I used rip's
first edition idea

And now the robo amigo
is back in business.

That's right, folks.
The first edition robo amigo

Is soaring in value.

It seems they can't keep
enough of them in stock.

Hey, that's mine!

Ha ha ha ha.

Suckers.

Wanna play another game,

O great maximum leader
and wondrous duck?

Heh heh. I told you
to stay in your box.

You're worth more
in the original packaging.

Sorry.

Here, boy.
Where are you?

There you are!

I've been looking
all over for you.

Oh!

Kids. What are you
gonna do?

Oh, spikey. I hope you've
been staying out of trouble.
