01x04 - Handle With Care

Post by bunniefuu »

Prepare to have your face rearranged, pal.

You're messing with the wrong mug, buddy.

Three…

Two…

One, go!

Take this! And that! And some more…

Take that! Take that! Take that!

Uh-oh.

What was that?

Ooh!

What is it?

Uh…

Nothing, at all. Nothing. Why? What? Why?

Oh, it's something.

Hmm…

-Hmm…

Can you feel this?

Hey! Give me that!

Buddy, relax. We'll handle it.

I mean, take care of it.
Easy as pie.

See?

Boy, that never gets easier.

Don't worry just yet.

How do I look?

Good as new.

Hmm… Oh!

And voilà!

Thanks, Cuphead.

-

-Hmph!

If only there were some substance
that could stick one item to another

that didn't attract bears.

Hmm…

Hold on there, Mugsy.
This ain't over till we say it's over.

It's over.

Aw!

You're getting worked up over nothing.

Oh, really? Why don't we snap off
your handle too then?

No!

I mean, no?

What if it never sticks back on?
A mug without a handle is just a bowl!

I'm a mug! I'm Mugman! Not Bowlboy!

I don't wanna be Bowlboy!

I never shoulda let you talk me into this!

What?! You were the one begging
for a blindfolded pillow fight.

This is hardly the time to point fingers!

Well, don't get mad at me!

Well, don't get mad at me!

I'm the one racking my brain
trying to remember what glue is!

Hey! That's right!

Glue is glue!

Here we go.

Oh, boy.

I'm never gonna fix my handle.

Maybe I am Bowlboy.

Aw, this ain't nothing. We can just get
some new glue from Porkrind's.

But I can't go out looking like this.

No one's even gonna notice.

Mugs, I get that you don't wanna be seen,
but why do I gotta do stuff?

Pipe down and scatter those flower petals.

Aww!

Broken handle!

It's hideous!

Well, I think he looks swell!

Nobody asked you, Bowlboy!

Gee, what's eatin' him?

It's Frenchy's Dream
and Granny's Whiskers!

It's Frenchy's Dream!

It's Granny's Whiskers!
It's Frenchy's Dream-- Oh, no!

Granny's Whiskers wins by a hair!

-Granny's Whiskers…

Knock-knock!

Porkrind! We've got a problem!

Do you now?

-We need a tube of glue bad.
-Real bad.

Gonna be real expensive then.

We'll pay anything, Porkrind!

Well, la-di-da.
Somebody knows the magic words.

So, what are we gluing?

Of course! He's disgusted
by my disembodied handle.

Nah. I don't care
about you or your handle.

I just ate a rank fish sandwich.

Urgh!

Yep. Anyway, I'll sell you the glue.
Be back in a jiff.

You see, Mugman? Nothing to worry about.
That handle will be back on in no time.

That is, if you even want it back.

Maybe it's time for a little change.

Change?

Think about it!
You could have any handle you want.

How about this one?

Nah. Too fancy.

Too industrial.

Uh, too "shticky."

-No.

No. No.

Nah. Nope.

Hmm…

Nah. Nope. No. No.

No!

Maybe.

No.

Listen, I don't want
any of these other handles.

I just wanna be me again.

Ah, yes.

The old classic.
We'll stick with the original.

-Right!
-Wrong.

I'm outta glue.
I get the next shipment in three months.

…we have Squid Inks…

Three months?!

Aw, come on, Mugsy.
Three months will go by like that.

You can still go outside.
People just need to get used to it.

Really?

Sorry. I'm still getting used to it.

Uh, Mugman?

Oh, there you are, boy.

Excuse us for a moment, Cuphead.

Of course. I'll leave you two alone.

Mugman, I'm sorry I screamed in horror
at the mere sight of you,

but it just took me by surprise.

Oh, but gosh,
you boys are just growing up so fast.

Your bodies are going through changes.

I should've known.

It's about time
your baby handles fell off.

Baby handle?

Baby handle?!

Why, yes. Your baby handles.

I still remember the day
I lost my baby handle.

Back when I was but a wee little kettle.

I was in the middle
of brushing my tiny little toothie,

when to my surprise, it happened.

Darn it, if my baby handle
didn't just pop right off!

Like all good boys, I knew
that when your baby handle falls off,

why, that means you're getting a visit
from the Handle Fairy!

So, I put my baby handle
under my pillow and waited.

In the morning, I ran over
to my bedroom mirror, and there it was.

My shiny, new…

man handle.

Ah, youth.

Woohoo!

Boy! Hear that, Cuphead?
I'm getting a man handle!

Hey!

I want a man handle!

Well, I guess
that saves the Handle Fairy a trip.

Elder Kettle! Elder Kettle!

Oh, uh…

The Handle Fairy came!

Get a load of these man handles!

Oh! Looks like he--

Uh, I mean,
she did a great job.

To our man handles!

Cheers!
