[phones ringing]

Weimaraner! Polka! Jupiter!

I said I needed these files shredded.
Not breaded!

[Hub and Bub laughing]

[Bub] Breaded.

-Smash 'em! Ow!
-[alarm blaring]

What?
Who am I gonna get to answer that?

Get me Team -B-A.

-[mumbled answer]
-Ballet class?

Then give me Team -Z-Y-Z.

[mumbled answer]

Jury duty? Well, who is available?

-And don't tell me--
-[mumbled answer]

[groans]
Of course, they are.

[groaning]

[Boop] Boop!

Sometimes you just gotta stop
and smell the roses.

Ah-choo!

Do you guys ever make a normal--
Ah-choo!

Ah-choo!
What's with all these--

Ah-choo! Flowers?

-[Hap] Ah-choo!
-[Bo] Oh.

Aren't they beautiful?

-I picked them myself.
-Ah-choo!

There's some begonias, petunias,

and daisies.

-Ah-choo!
-Whoopsies!

Are you guys done dillydallyin'?

Answer Team -B reporting for duty, sir.

Good, 'cause this kid has a question--
Ah-choo!

And she needs an answer pronto!
Capisce?

[all] Sir, yes, sir.

Well, get ready for a whopper of a--
Ah-choo!

Of a question Story--
Ah-choo!

-Ah-choo!
-[crash]

Ah-choo!

Hi, StoryBots. My name is London.

[all exclaiming]
Hi, London!

[Bing]
What's your question, London?

StoryBots, I wanna know
why I have to brush my teeth.

Uh, like, what's wrong
with brushing your teeth?

I don't like to brush my teeth
'cause it's annoying.

Annoying?

What's annoying about brushing your teeth?

When I'm sleepy, um...

and I want to get in the bed,

um... I have to do that first.

And that's annoying.

[Beep]
Yeah, I can get that.

-[Bing] Yeah, yeah.
-[Bang] Yeah, good point.

Um, so...

why do we have to brush our teeth?

[all] Uh...

[Bing] Well...

[gasps] Oh, I know.

I know where we can find the answer.

[beeping]
[alarm blares]

StoryBots, prepare for transport.

Let's find out why we have
to brush our teeth!

[in unison]
Outer World, here we come!

[suction sound]

Well, don't expect a miracle, kid.

Ah-choo!

[StoryBots screaming]

Aah!

Ohh-aah!

Eee!

Ohhh!

Boop!

-[all screaming]
-[crash]

Dude, where are we?

-We're in a boy's bedroom. Oh--
-Shh.

[whispering]
Look down below.

That kid's sleeping.
Do you know what's beneath his pillow?

-[Bang] His head?
-[Bo] The mattress?

-[Bing] Box spring?
-[Bang] The ground?

[Bo]
Six hundred count Egyptian cotton?

No. It's a tooth.

That boy lost a tooth today,

And he put it there
for the Tooth Fairy to pick up.

Oh. the Tooth Fairy will know
why London needs to brush her teeth.

What are we waiting for? Let's go!

Here we are, guys.

We just climb up this blanket,
and the tooth's up there.

-[Bang] It's pretty dark in here, man.
-[Beep] Shh.

-[Bing] Really hot in here.
-[Beep] Guys, shh.

[Bang]
Hey, that tickles.

-[Bo] I can't see anything.
-[Bing] There's no way out!

-[Bo] I think we're lost.
-[Bang] We're never gonna find the tooth.

Oh, there it is.

Yeah.

I got it! I got the tooth.

[all gasping]

[Beep]
Guys, it's the Tooth Fairy.

Whoa.

What are you StoryBots doing here?

And don't tell me you're
getting into the tooth business,

because that's been my thing forever.

No, not at all, Tooth Fairy.

We're just trying to answer a question
about teeth for a girl named London.

Oh. A kid with a question about teeth.

Oh! How can I help?

Well, she wants to know why
people have to brush their teeth.

Oh. Oh. [chuckles]

Well, just a moment.
[clears throat]

Just a moment.

[continues clearing throat]

[stuffy accent] Why must
a child brush their teeth every day?

A really good question.

I simply can't say.

The Tooth Fairy's job
is to take lost teeth

to make room for the new ones
hiding beneath.

To succeed in your quest,

you must travel from here

to a place that is hidden,
and yet is quite near.

Look not to the lips

or the cheek or the chin.

For the answer you seek,

lies only within.

[all] Right.

-Wait. I don't get it.
-I don't have a clue.

Pfft! I am not gonna say all that again.

If you really wanna find out
why you need to brush your teeth,

-you need to go to the mouth.
-[Bang] Oh, right.

Come on, guys. Let's go to the mouth.

[Bing] Thanks, Tooth Fairy.
Thanks for all your help.

[Bang]
Thanks heaps and loads, Tooth Fairy!

[Tooth Fairy] Goodbye!

Oh, oh, one moment.

Be wary. An unbrushed mouth
can be quiet scary.

[suction sound]

Oh, look.
Those buildings are teeth.

Let's go!

[Western music playing]

[Bang] Dude, these teeth
don't look so good.

[Bing]
Ugh, they smell bad, too. Ugh.

Hello?

Eww!

Is anybody out there?

Anyone?

What a travesty.

Who are you?

I'm the mayor of this here town,

and I'm responsible
for the over types

of good, hardworking bacteria livin' here.

We spend our days helping to digest foods

and protect teeth and gums,

but a few bad apples have other ideas.

And without Sheriff Brushy here
to keep things clean,

their plaque is ruining these here teeth.

-Plaque?
-What's that?

It's the gunk
the bad bacteria leave behind

after they've gorged themselves silly

on the food lying around
these here unbrushed teeth.

[shatters]

That's terrible.

Ugh, is that smell getting worse?

Hey, don't look at me, man.

[distant rumbling sound]

[Bang] Huh?

[rumbling sound getting louder]

[voices whooping and shouting]

[laughing menacingly]

[Mayor gasping]
Stinky Bart.

We don't want no trouble.

Well, Mayor, trouble is my middle name.

[Terence]
I thought your middle name was Alphonse.

Zip it, Terence.

What do you want, Stinky Bart?

I'm here for one thing
and one thing only--

the bits of starchy food left all over
these here unbrushed teeth.

[excitedly] And the sugar.
Ooh-hoo-hoo, the sugar.

Let's hit it, boys.

[henchmen whooping and shouting]

Yum.
I'm breaking it.

Not the enamel.

[munching]

No.

[munching]

[laughing]

[good bacteria]
Oh. What do we do?

StroryBots, you've got to help us
get Sheriff Brushy back.

If this gets any worse,
our town could lose its teeth for good.

Don't worry, Mayor.
We'll bring back the sheriff.

[Bang] Ooh, yeah.
We'll find the sheriff.

Godspeed, StoryBots.

[voice trembling]
Godspeed.

[laughing]

Turn 'em yellow, boys.

All this sparkly white

just ain't my style.

[laughing]

[suction sound]

[Hub] Hmm...

Heh.

[both laughing]

[Bub gasps]

[both] Ooh.

[Hub] Hmm...

[grunts]

[grunts]

[both laughing]

Uh...

[both laughing]

[both coughing]

[laughing]

[Hub] White.

-Hi!
-Huh?

What in tarnation?

Are you Sheriff Brushy,
the sheriff of Tooth Town?

I was the sheriff of Tooth Town,

just like my daddy,
and my daddy's daddy.

-And my daddy's daddy's daddy.
-Sheriff.

And my daddy's daddy's daddy's daddy.

-I think he's gonna keep going.
-[Brushy] And my daddy's daddy's

daddy's daddy's daddy's daddy's daddy.
And my daddy's--

-Sheriff!
-Ooh!

That's great and all,
but this is an emergency.

Why are you up here?
Why aren't you protecting the town?

Well, now, I spent my time
brushin' those teeth,

night after night,
mornin' after mornin'.

And, well, it just became
kind of annoyin'.

[in unison]
Kind of annoying?

-But, Sheriff.
-[gasps]

Tooth Town is getting destroyed.

[Bang]
Just look, man.

Jumpin' gingivitis.

I had no idea.

Why, those rootin', tootin',
good-for-nothin',

slimy, sticky balls of bacteria gunk.

Horsey, my things!

[neighing]

StoryBots, let's clean up that town.

[whooping and shouting]

Ah ha ha!

Help! Help! Help!

This looks like the end.

-[hooves clopping]
-[gasps]

Sheriff?

-[hooves clopping]
-Oh!

[thud]

Come on out, Stinky Bart!

Well, well, well.

If it isn't Sheriff Bristleface

and his pitiful band of misfits.

You've been damaging
these here teeth long enough.

Listen up, Sheriff! So long
as there's food in these here teeth,

we'll be a-eatin' it,

just like my daddy.

And my daddy's daddy.

Are we really gonna go through this again?

And my daddy's daddy's daddy's daddy.

Now, StoryBots.

That'll do.

Hah!

Whoa!

Daddy's daddy's daddy.

Huh? Toothpaste?

Say ah.

[grunting]

Round 'em up.

[henchman]
Ha ha ha.

[muttering]

sh**t along them there buildings.

Whee! Whoo!

Wow!

Whoa whoa!

-Oh!
-Whoa!

Aah! Whoa!

Hey, Sheriff! Up here!

Oh, boy!

Aah! Ha ha!

[Brushy gasps]

[laughing menacingly]

[all gasping]

Now, tell me. What's Sheriff Brushy
gonna do without his bristles?

No!

[henchmen cheering]

Bless my stars. Look.

Huh?

[laughter]

Looks like you caught me
at a loss, Stinky Bart,

but you've forgotten floss.

Hyah.

-[Brushy] Hi-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah!
-[Bart growls]

Wee-hah!

Yah!

[creaking]

Sweet salivation.

Whoa! Whoa!

[g*ng screaming]

We'll be back.

We'll always come back.

Come back if you like, Stinky Bart,

but I'll be here
a-brushin' these teeth twice a day,

and flossin', too!

[cheering]

[woman]
Thank you, Sheriff.

[Mayor]
We do appreciate you, Sheriff.

[man]
Thank you, Sheriff.

Don't thank me. Thank the StoryBots.

To my own shame, I didn't know
brushin' these teeth was so important.

Well, now you know, Sheriff.
And you're gonna do great.

Come on, guys.
London needs our answer.

-[Bo] Ooh! Bye-bye now.
-So long, partner.

Goodbye, StoryBots,
and thanks again.

[machine whirring]
What the--?

-[Beep] Whoa.
-[crash]

What are you StoryBots doin' back here?

I told you to get an answer,
not dillydally.

-We got the answer boss.
-Boop.

Well, start talkin'.

There are these things
in your mouth called bacteria.

Yeah, some of them are good,
but some of them are really bad.

They eat all the leftover food
stuck between your teeth.

And leave a stinky layer
of gunk on 'em. Yuck.

It's called plaque.

I'm not looking for a plaque, StoryBots.
Just an answer.

Well, plaque is really bad.

It turns your teeth yellow,

it makes your breath stink,
and causes tooth decay.

If you don't do anything about it,
it will even make holes in your teeth.

They're called cavities, man.

So unless you want
a stinky, yellow mouth full of holes...

[in unison]
That's why you have to brush your teeth.

[Bang]
Even if it is kind of annoying.

All right, all right.
Let's see what you got.

-Catch!
-Ow!

[gasps] Sorry.

Hey, look, everyone, it's London.

[Bang]
Hey, London.

[Bing]
Good to see you, London.

So, London, what did you think?

Wow, that is the coolest thing
I've ever heard.

Thank you, StoryBots.
I guess I will brush my teeth.

Yay! She's gonna brush.

Way to go, London.

Bye.

[Bo]
Goodbye, London.

[all shouting excitedly]

Quit your dillydallyin'!
Get back to work!

We've got questions to answer!
Let's go!

-Let's go! Move!
-Whoa. So not cool.

-I think Hap needs to brush his teeth.
-Yeah.
