ZADIE: "The Fishmans' Big Date."

♪

ZADIE: Whoo-hoo! Whoa! [laughs]

[giggling]

LOUISA: Beep, beep! ZEKE: Vroom!

[Fergus exclaims softly, Flip giggles]

Felicia, my love, would you mind if I ran a wee errand?

Not at all, my darling Fergus.

[kiss]

Whoo-hoo!

Ellie, I have a big favor to ask.

Yes, Fergus?

Felicia and I are celebrating a very special day tomorrow--

our wedding anniversary--

and I was hoping you could babysit.

I have a big date planned,

so I'd need you to be at our place at : p.m.?

Sure! I can babysit then.

But I can only stay for three hours.

I'm going to watch a meteor shower with Mr. E at :.

[sighs]: Thank you, Ellie.

I do have a lot of things planned,

so our date might take longer than that,

but I'm going to try and work it out.

ZADIE: Grandma Super told me it's your anniversary, Fergus,

but she didn't say anniversary of what.

Tomorrow, Felicia and I will celebrate

being married for five whole years.

[gasps]: Oh, dear!

What's wrong, Fergus? You seem worried.

I've planned a big date for my lady love.

And I'm nervous because Ellie can only babysit

for three hours.

But I'm not sure I can do all the things

I have planned in that amount of time.

What do you have planned?

First, we get pizza at the Eat 'n' Greet Cafe.

Second, we go for a swim and play a game at Lake Bellyflop.

Third, we get Felicia's favorite dessert, a hot fudge sundae,

back at the Eat 'n' Greet Cafe.

And fourth, we watch a movie

back at the lake, at the Lakeview Hotel.

But I have to do all of those things in under three hours!

That's a lot to do in three hours.

Oh, algae!

If only there was a way to find out if my plan for our date

will take too long.

I have an idea! We could do all the things

you have planned for your big date and see how long it takes.

You could set my exercise timer.

[beeping] Set it for three hours.

When it counts down to zero and rings,

you know you're out of time.

We'll carry the timer for you and help you out.

Okay, let's get this party started.

To the Eat 'n' Greet.

I'll take the waterway and meet you there.

[yelps]

♪

[grunting, straining]: We're stuck!

Can you please move?

We need to get through.

Did you not know we're stuck?

Impatient, much?

Honk, honk!

[both giggling]

Whoo! Hi-dee-hi!

I'll start the timer. [timer beeps]

Okay, first thing on my date is pizza.

I'll pretend to be Duffy and take your order.

We'll have a cheese pizza.

♪

You'd better eat quick!

We've got a lot of other stuff to get done.

Nyom, nyom, nyom, nyom, nyom!

[burps]

[kids giggle]

What's next on your list,Fergus?

The second thing I have planned is to go

for a swim and play a game at Lake Bellyflop.

Meet you there.

I'll take the waterway! [yelps]

[grunting, straining]

Huh?

Honk! Honk!

Did you not know I'm driving here?

Vroom!

[both panting]

Whew, Lake Bellyflop sure is a long way

from the Eat 'n' Greetcafe.

Oh, hi, Beatrice!

Okay if I swim?

Felicia and I always play the game

Peanut Butter/Jelly when we swim here.

How do you play?

You close your eyes and use the sound of my voice

to find where I am.

Every time you say, "Peanut butter," I say, "Jelly."

When my voice sounds louder,

then you know you're getting closer to where I am.

♪

Peanut butter!

[faintly]:Jelly!

Peanut butter!

Jelly!

Peanut butter?

[softly]: Jelly.

Found you! [giggling]

We'd better get a move on.

We don't want to run out of time.

What's next on your list, Fergus?

Next is a hot fudge sundae at the Eat 'n' Greet.

Meet you there!

[exclaims]

[panting]: Oh! It takes

a long time

to go back and forth to Lake Bellyflop.

[exhales]

[exclaims]

May I take your order?

[panting]: Two hot fudge sundaes, please.

Two scoops of vanilla ice cream.

A squirt of hot fudge sauce.

[imitates sauce squirting]

A mountain of whipped cream.

[imitates cream canister]

♪

Nom, nom, nom! Delicious!

What's next on your list, Fergus?

The fourth and last thing on my list

is back at Lake Bellyflop.

We watch a movie at the Lakeview Hotel.

Back to the lakeagain?

[sighs]: Afraid so.

[exclaims]

[both sigh]

[Buckley and Zadie panting]

[grunts] [sighs]

[beeping]

[gasps]: Oh, seaweed!

The timer rang, which means we'd be out of time!

The date would need to be over!

Yeah, you'd have to head home

to let Ellie go watch the meteor shower.

But we didn't get to do the fourth thing on my list,

watch the movie!

Hm, there's got to be a way to work this out.

Fergus, let me see your list.

ZADIE: First, we were at the Eat 'n' Greet Cafe.

Second, we went to Lake Bellyflop.

Third, we went back to the Eat 'n' Greet.

And fourth, we went back to Lake Bellyflop.

BUCKLEY: It took a lot of time to go from the cafe to the lake,

and then the lake to the cafe.

Then from the cafe back to the lake.

ZADIE: Maybe first,

you should have pizza,

and then second, you have hot fudge sundaes.

Since you eat pizza and sundaes at the cafe,

that would save time.

[gasps]: For the love of bubbles!

Dessert right after dinner? Brilliant!

Then, third, you could go to Lake Bellyflop

to go for a swim and a game.

And fourth, you could watch the movie.

You go for a swim and watch a movie at Lake Bellyflop.

I'll reset the timer and we'll try this date again.

Meet you back at the cafe!

Whoo!

[beeps]

[panting]: We're really getting our cardio today.

Whew!

[exclaims]

[weakly]: I'll start the timer. Can I take your order?

First, we'll have pizza.

And second, we'll have a hot fudge sundae for dessert.

♪

Here's your pizza.

Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom!

[sighs]: Two scoops of vanilla ice cream.

A big squirt of hot fudge sauce. [imitates squirt]

And a mountain of whipped cream.

[imitates cream canister]

Nom, nom, nom!

Ooh, we're doing good on time! What's next, Fergus?

Third, we go to Lake Bellyflop for a swim

and a game of Peanut Butter and Jelly.

And fourth, we watch a movie--

also at Lake Bellyflop.

[yelps]

Peanut butter!

Jelly!

Peanut butter!

[softly, giggling]: Jelly.

Peanut butter. Jelly!

Found you! How are we doing on time, Buckley?

We're doing pretty good. We have minutes left.

The fourth and last thing on my list

is watching a movie at the Lakeview Hotel

right here at Lake Bellyflop.

The theater is playing Felicia's favorite movie:

The Sticker Monster in the Garden of Gloom.

I love that one! Let's go to the movies.

[crickets chirping, film music playing]

You still have

minutes to get home.

The movie ended just in time! Meet you back at home.

All that running around has my legs feeling really tired.

LOUISA: Beep! Beep! Louisa's taxi at your service.

Would you care to be driven back to the Treeborhood?

Would I? Thanks!

[whistle blowing]

I gotta head inside for supper.See ya!

Vroom, vroom!

[timer beeping]

[beeping stops]

Whoo! We worked it out,Zadie.

We were able to do all the things I had planned

in under three hours. Whoo-hoo!

[kisses]: Happy anniversary, darling.

[children giggling]

I brought all sorts of things to keep the kiddos entertained.

Ellie, you're the best!

Happy anniversary!

We didn't know what to get you,

so we got you balloons.

'Cause balloons go with everything.

Aw! Thanks so much.

Fergus has a very special date planned for you, Felicia.

Ooh, I can hardly wait!

You're so considerate, my lovey-dove. [kisses]

ALL: Ew!

Let our date begin! We'll be back in three hours,

in time for you to watch the meteor shower with Mr. E.

Thanks again, Ellie.

BOTH: Fishmans out!

Have fun!

FERGUS: Kids, come on.

No doing flips in the café-- you're getting everyone wet.

FELICIA: Sorry about that.

They're so peppy and perky today. [chuckles]

Hey, Frannie, Flip, and Finn, those flips look fun.

FERGUS: Whoa!

[whimpering]

Maybe we should take them to Lake Bellyflop

and let them stretch their fins a bit.

Great idea.

Can we come, too? Of course!

The more the merrier.

♪

ALL [laughing]: Whee!

[cheering]

All right, kids, go wild!

ZADIE: Whoa!

Nice twist.

Did you teach them how to do that?

Felicia and I used to be performers in the circus.

Whoa!

They called us The Flying Fishmans.

Remember, pookums?

How could I forget, snookums?

[kiss]

ALL: Ew.

We did the trapeze together.

FERGUS: And Felicia was a fantabulous tightrope walker.

Those were the days.

We'd love to see your circus act.

Yeah!

And Frannie, Flip, and Finn could be in it, too.

I don't know, it was such a long time ago.

Well...

Okay, let's do it!

We'll be called

The Flying Fishman Family!

[grunts]

[straining]: Gotta work on my tumbling.

We'll let everyone in the Treeborhood know

you're putting on a show.

[all cheer] But wait.

It's an underwater act-- how will everyone see it?

Hm, that's a good question.

Thinking positions!

If only we could be inside

while the Fishmans are outside, underwater.

Hey! Remember when we were at the Lakeview Hotel,

and looked out the window and saw Carly, Cece, and Clyde

in the lake?

[gasps]: That's a great idea!

Everyone can be inside the hotel and watch the circus from there.

While you practice your act, we'll set up the room.

[recorded kazoo plays fanfare]

[playing jaunty tune]

[music continues]

Come one, come all,

to The Flying Fishman Family Circus.

The best-est show in the Treeborhood!

This afternoon,

at the Lakeview Hotel.

[song ends, concertina deflates]

♪

[cheering]

[laughing]

♪

We can fit lots of people in here.

And everyone will have a great view.

But the Fishmans look so small.

That's because they're so far away.

Yeah.

I can barely see them.

I wonder what they're doing.

Okay, kids, now let go and grab on to my fins.

Great job, now...

Hey, wait, slow down!

This isn't part of the act!

Okay, Flip, now just step out onto the rope-- you can do it.

♪

Oh!

Okay.

Very creative,honey.

But it's tightrope walking, not bouncing.

[Flip bouncing faintly in distance]

♪

It won't be much of a circus

if no one can see their act

up close. Let's tell the Fishmans

they should move closer to the window.

We can't move the circus closer to the window.

There are too many rocks there

to set up the trapeze and the tightrope.

Maybe we should give everyone in the audience binoculars.

Do you think Mr. E has enough binoculars?

FELICIA:Wait!

You gave me an even better idea!

♪

[device beeps softly]

Kamusta!Who ordered the underwater video camera?

That was me!

We can use the camera to video our circus acts.

And everyone can watch the video on a big screen

at the Lakeview Hotel.

Great idea!

Pookums, you're a genius.

I know, snookums.

[kiss]

ALL: Ew.

Will you help us set up the camera and screen?

WOMBATS: We're on it!

Whoa! [chuckles]

♪

[camera beeps]

Well?

Can you see me?

Yep. FELICIA: Great!

You can watch us rehearse.

Yes! Yay!

First up, Fergus, Finn, and Frannie, on the trapeze.

Okay, kids, here it comes.

Ha, ha! Nice job.

ZEKE: Wait,

what happened to Finn and Frannie?

Did I miss something?

We all did.

I think Felicia has to move the camera.

Felicia?

Go for Felicia.

First, we could see Finn and Frannie.

But then, when they trapezed to Fergus,

we couldn't see them anymore.

Okay, no problem.

Is that better?

Much better.

Now we can see Fergus, Finn, and Frannie.

♪

Ta-da!

[cheering]

Next up,

Fearless Flip on the tightrope.

Nice and easy, Flip-- you got this.

Just a little bitmore.

I think he's going to do it this time!

Oh! You almost had it, Flip.

Wait, he fell? I missed it.

[sighing]: We all did. Felicia?

Yes, Malik?

We can't see the beginning and the end of the tightrope.

Just the middle.

Hm, the tightrope is pretty long.

I know!

We'll just move the camera back a little.

How is that?

We can see the whole tightrope.

You worked it out!

I just remembered-- we forgot our signature act!

Synchronized Superfast Swimming!

Oh, we have to do that--kids!

Follow us! Do whatever we do.

Corkscrew!

FERGUS: Figure eight!

What is going on?

FELICIA: Into the tunnel!

I can't see where they went.

I have no idea-- where'd they go?

We need the camera to move again

so we can see what the Fishmans are doing.

Well? What'd you think of that?

Do we still got it, or what?

Sorry, but we couldn't see a thing.

Yeah, just lots of squiggles going back and forth,

and then nothing.

Oh.

Well, I guess you and the kids could do the act,

and I could follow with the camera?

But we need you in the show.

It's called The Flying Fishman Family Circus.

I guess we'll just have to cut that part out of the act.

ALL: Aw!

Wait, I have an idea!

What if we could attach the camera to something moving?

Like a remote-controlled boat or something?

Not a boat, but I know just the thing.

[device beeping]

Eh, kamusta na naman.

Did anyone order an underwater drone?

I did-- thanks!

What's a drone?

It's a flying machine that you move

with a remote control.

I think the camera and drone are all ready.

Want to test it out with the remote control I gave you?

[radio hisses] Okay.

See? You can move the cameraforwards

and backwards, and up and down.

[gasps]: It's just like a toy airplane!

But underwater. Can I try?

Sure.

Okay, now try to follow us as we swim.

No need to do anything fancy, just, uh...

Zeke?

[remote chirps]

[drone whirs]

Fergus. Camera coming!

[yells]

Zeke, watch out!

ZADIE: Slow down!

How?

I can't look. We're gonna crash!

I wonder what this does.

MALIK AND ZADIE: Whew!

Cool!

Um, maybe I better drive-- just for the show.
