03x07 - Marble Mover/Fair Shares

[bunniefuu]

(Peep humming to himself)

CUSACK: One day, while out for a walk,

Peep found something sort of strange.

It's like a small balloon with clouds inside.

(sharp pecks)

A small, hard balloon.

Strange.

CUSACK: Peep decided to take

the small, hard balloon with clouds inside--

which was actually a marble-- back home for further study.

At least that was his plan.

Why won't it go up?

(grunting with exertion)

This... is... not... easy.

(panting)

CUSACK: Sometimes marbles go where you want them to go.

And sometimes they're a pain in the neck.

Why so blue, Peep?

Not that blue isn't a great thing to be.

I'm trying to get this round thing up the hill,

and it won't go.

Did you... ask a duck?

No.

So? Ask!

Ask a duck.

Oh! Um...

Quack, could you get this up the hill for me?

Well, let's see, uh, hmm...

Round thing, big hill, strong duck, carry the seven...

No problem, Peep.

Leave it to me-- got you covered.

You see, Peep, ducks are an invaluable resource.

You should never be afraid to ask a... (yells)

See? It always rolls back down.

Obviously I just need to kick it...

harder!

Ow! Owee, ow-ow-ow, ouch.

(screams)

(grunts)

Sorry, Peep, I give up.

No can do.

(grunting)

Hmm.

Thanks anyway, Quack.

I know!

I'll ask Chirp.

She can always figure stuff out.

You know, Peep, I've been thinking.

Ducks really are the best at solving problems.

That's why we say, "Ask a duck," instead of, "Ask a red bird."

I will get this up that hill for you

or my name's not...

(quacks)

CUSACK: Quack got right to work.

He pushed his duck brain to the limit...

and got nowhere.

So he decided to seek some advice.

(animals chattering)

Once all of the key elements of his plan were in place,

Quack was ready to start.

(Quack grunting)

My plan is perfect.

In a matter of minutes, this-- aha!-- will be on top of that,

or my name's not Quack.

CUSACK: The first and most important part of Quack's plan

was to avoid the hill completely.

I got it! I got it!

Did you see that?

I got it!

Don't drop it, don't drop it, don't drop it.

Seriously, don't drop it.

Oops.

Got it!

The plan-- don't forget the plan.

Oh, right.

CUSACK: Quack was quite proud.

So far his plan was working to perfection.

Almost.

That's the last one, okay?

Hurry up!

We're four seconds behind schedule.

(muffled): I'm trying.

CUSACK: The frog did his part particularly well.

Finally, it was all up to Newton.

Well, Peep,

thanks to the pure mental superiority of the duck...

(panting)

your round thing will be arriving here... any second.

(chuckling)

No need for thanks, Peep.

It will be enough for you to tell everyone you ever met

that I did this for you.

No! No!!

No, no, no, no, no! No!

This is not possible.

I had it all worked out; my plan was foolproof.

(quacks)

Well, thanks anyway, Quack.

It was a good try.

No-- where did I go wrong?

Hill, duck, round thing...

I mean, it should have worked perfectly.

CHIRP: What's the matter with Quack?

He looks upset.

He was trying to get my round thing up the hill.

It's impossible, Peep.

That's the only explanation.

It's impossible.

Can't be done.

You can't get a marble up a hill?

Of course you can.

Oh, sure. Good luck, my friend.

(to himself): Some birds never learn.

Yay!

You did it, Chirp.

You got it up the hill.

I just zigzagged.

That's how I walk up a hill sometimes.

It's not as hard as going straight up.

So, why did you want it here anyway?

I forget.

Well, it's a pretty marble.

Really, really pretty.

Oh, yeah, I wanted to take it home

so I could figure out... what it was.

What's a marble?

It's, well, a small, round, hard thing

that sometimes has colors inside.

Oh...

CUSACK: There are lots of uses for small, round, hard things

with colors inside.

You can kick them, you can admire them,

or you can use them to cheer up ducks.

A little to the left.

Uh-huh, uh, yeah...

No, no, no, too far.

Yeah, a little to the right.

Okay, okay-- th-there.

Nice.

You know, I always wanted a blue rock.

Don't ask me why.

well it's a sunny day I'd be ready

there's a bad a million things that I

could do would you like to see every

corner of the world there's no waste

oh well it's a big wide world and it's

way

[Music]

the leur Me's are coming peep and chirp

have been waiting all morning for quack

to come over they waited a lot of the

afternoon too and that was enough I

think it's really rude of quack to tell

us he was coming and then not even show

up that'll show you see see this quick

you know float or something why are you

no time to talk here get on the stick

like this quack

what is going on what it sounds like

you're saying I am saying the ground

waiting I've never seen a l'heure me how

big are they 50 feet and do you know

what happens if you step on allure me

what exactly nobody knows that's why I

need your help building this it's a path

above the loom ease peope we'll build it

from here to your place and then all the

way to chirps bush tree thingy yeah

we'll never have to walk on the ground

again

only I'm gonna need some help so you're

in good cause you know I've already done

the hard part right

I've run this deck peepin sharp new they

need a lot of building materials to make

cracks pass they got beaver boy to help

[Music]

quack

meanwhile kept a sharp lookout for

lurking yummies now we can start

building your path yes but someone brave

should stay in the pond and keep watch

someone like me

in fact me okay hope this if you see

allure me okay that looks good

maybe we need more cans to keep it

steady there for tension work hmm still

feels a little

[Applause]

I study these towns are round so they

rule instead of keeping still that's the

problem they're not round everywhere

beaver boys right look on each of the

ends it's flat so if we lift this up

yeah it doesn't rule the construction

workers lifted all four cans and onto

their flat sides but after they put the

cardboard on top there was still a

problem no oh oh I like it

[Music]

it's perfect

only it's a little hard

okay it needs some work

the cans are all the same height when

they're lying down but if you stand them

up those two are shorter than those two

would you say they're exactly half as

tall and I like how they stack so we

just need two more cans and we'll get up

there

how stairs yes you can't stock something

on top of the ball sure we just figured

out when it's a round thing you have to

lay it on its flat side which for this

thing is right here yeah here no here

here here here where's the flat side on

this thing I don't think it has one okay

then let's build stairs with these these

have lots of flat sides

[Music]

hey I think stairs need to be flat try

these

we got a hurry they come out after rains

and by they I mean the birds discovered

that their stairs were less wobbly when

the big boxes were on the bottom and

when each box rested on its widest side

just 500 more of these and will reach

Pete's house and then where are they I

don't see them they're right

[Music]

you mean those those earthworms

exactly earthworms were means same thing

you said they were 50 feet long I said

more or less so that would be less hmm I

remember them being bigger hey where are

you guys going we're going to go enjoy

the rest of the day

oh okay well now that I'm off the ground

hmm hmm not bad not bad at all cuz you

know what lemme were me tell her what

you want hmm I still wouldn't want to

step on one that's me

Arana and Erin Andrew we're going to

build a tower with cardboard and other

recycled stuff we should start with a

big box now why don't I be put on the

top we should take these off cuz they

wouldn't really balance any other things

this shape and round corners of the box

stacks better than classic just tells a

bit of a problem and they do a test to

see which is more stable boy let paper

tubes are more stable so I'm using those

build up my roof how we build a bridge

between two towers good idea

the bridge has to support this much

weight it's pretty happy this is a good

shape which is it's a tube and you can't

really like splish it but it rolls right

off thunderman is putting on long pieces

a very stiff wood and then the cardboard

try building towers and see which stuff

works the best
