You up for an epic hang sesh

[gasps]

[uneasy music]

Hmm...

What's different about this place?

[screams]

- Parker, something bad has happened.

- What? Did the Middlemost Meat Cart

run out of kielbasas?

- Worse.

[electronic music plays]

Lily, did you make a k*ller vacuum?

- No time for compliments, Parker.

We're under att*ck.

[beeps]

both: Ow.

- It all started while I was working

on a new confetti cannon,

and I got to thinking,

"Wouldn't it be nice if I didn't have to

"vacuum up all that confetti?

Or...anything else ever again?"

So I made an autonomous smart vac

to do the work for me.

[party horn blows]

But the smart vac was too dumb and too slow.

So I did the logical thing.

I fixed it.

[whirring]

That worked, but only on the floors.

And what good is an autonomous smart vac

if it can't do walls and ceilings too?

So I added titanium claws.

And razor sharp teeth.

Then, it got ugly, and the little rascal

got into my taxidermy collection.

- Wow.

Hmm.

And did you add the ears for ultrasonic hearing?

And the whiskers for radar?

- No, I just thought they were cute.

- Aw, adorable!

- Parker, we need to stop Whiskers

before it destroys everything.

I call it Whiskers.

- Even more adorable!

Don't worry, Lily, I know how to fix this.

- Parker, I'm only % comfortable

with your plan to fix this.

- Shh, it's working! I see it!

All I have to do now

is look delicious and draw it out.

Once it's under the box, pull that string,

and we'll have it trapped.

- Like a rat in a box.

- Exactly!

See, so you've heard of this.

- [mechanical screeching] - Rat in the box!

- Rat in the box!

[screams]

You were right! Bad idea!

Sorry, Whiskers!

Oops!

Didn't mean it!

I didn't design it to sh**t lightning bolts.

We can always look for it after the route.

- Parker, I can't go on the mail route.

Not without my beanie!

- How come?

- Because,

it's the Shackleton lucky beanie!

It was passed down to me from my father,

the great Angus R. Shackleton Jr.!

My old man was the greatest postman

that ever sailed the high seas.

He delivered packages from here,

to there,

to everywhere.

Dad credited his mad delivery skills to one thing:

his beanie.

A beanie crafted by his skillful, yet giant,

sausage fingers.

It was made using the toughest fibers in the entire world:

his beard.

He knitted it using the strongest material

available at the time:

his own toenails!

Combine that with the sweat and tears

of the smartest person he knew--

himself--

and you've got yourself the perfect lucky beanie.

Pops gave it to me on the day he retired.

I still remember his words to this day.

"Son...

"only a big fat baby would ever be so daft

to lose this beanie!"

- Oh...

And now you've lost it!

- [crying] I know!

[sobs]

- Shh.

You'll be okay, Angus!

It's not like you're gonna suddenly forget how to do it.

All you have to do is walk up to Terry,

and hand him his mail.

You can do it, big guy, we believe in you!
