I think we need to--
DIAMONDSThose are lovely, Eddy! Thanks!
(Panting)
Hey, Eddy do you--
In a minute, Marvin.
Stripes likes his paper first thing!
Need a hoof with anything?
I think we need to revise this "To Do" list, Marvin.
You want me to what?
Take the afternoon off.
Right, all work and no play
is no way for a kid to spend his summer!
But I like the work!
And-- And I've still got lots to do and I got--
We'll take care of your chores for today. Go have some fun!
"Fun"? Where would I go?
Are you kidding? Take a look!
Oh, yeah.

Got to go!
Meet you back at the tents!

Eddy, I have an urgent delivery for Jack!
Thanks, Fred. I'll take it!
I'd better get it to him on the double.
(Bicycle bell ringing)
PETEStep right up! And try your luck!
But first, I'll just say hello to Squinty Pete!
Step right up, folks!
You haven't been to the carnival till you've whomped a weasel!
They're fast, furry and fun! And it doesn't hurt 'em a bit!
Hey, Eddy!
Hi, Squinty Pete!
I almost didn't recognize you without your broom!
(Chuckling)
Say, Eddy, could you get this started
by whomping a weasel or two for me?
Me? But I've never whomped before.
Oh, it's easy! Watch this!
(Squeaking)
I suppose just a couple of whomps wouldn't hurt.
(Bell clanging)
(Squeaking)
Keep your eye on the weasel, Eddy!
(Bell clanging)
We've got a natural here, folks!
(Bell clanging)
And the prize goes to Eddy!
(Cheering)
(Blowing)
Set 'em up again, Squinty Pete.

Here you are, Eddy.
Have a good afternoon off?
Huh? Sure, did I ever, especially this game!
I could play it all day!
Uh, you did, actually.
Your grandmother called. And you're late for dinner.
Aww, Marvin, I had that weasel whomped!
Tomorrow is another day, okay, pal?
Okay.
Whomp you later, boys!
(Insects chirping)
GRANDMOTHEREdward?
Edward, can you hear me?
(Banging)
Edward!
What? I mean, yes, Grandma?
Please do not play with your food.
I'm not playing, Grandma! I'm practicing!
There is a time for whomping weasels and a time to eat.
So, please settle down.
(Eddy grunting)
GRANDMOTHEREdward, lights out, dear!
Be the weasel. Be the weasel. Be the weasel.
(Bell clanging)
(Squeaking)
(Snoring)
See who's at the door, Mr. Grizzly.
(Snoring)
Goodness!
(Snoring)
(Gasping)
What is that thumping noise?
I think I know.
Gee, Eddy,
couldn't you wait for it to open before you started playing?
I was up all night thinking of a new strategy.
Uh, "strategy"? To whomp weasels?
The triple whomp!
Uh, great, but everyone is getting a bit grumpy
without their breakfast.
Umm, "breakfast"?
You know, that first meal of the day?
Usually served by you?
Oh, right, my chores!
(Bell clanging)
Got you!
(Blowing)
If you want to whomp a weasel,
you got to flick the wrist, Stripes.
Really?
Well, why don't you whomp this corn over to Elizabeth then?
Oops! Sorry. Here you go.
Hey, you nearly soaked Mr. Grizzly!
Observe.
Uh, I'll try to remember that, Eddy.
I'm even thinking of getting my own personal mallet.
Uh, Eddy, that's Stripes' paper.
Oh, right. Could you take it to him, Diamonds?
I'm kind of rushed today!
Is Eddy all right?
My corn on the cob is frozen.
Maybe it's a corn-sicle?
Hey, working hard as usual, I see.
That's it!
Hey, Marvin, can you finish this for me?
I got to do something!
Ed-- Oh.
Squinty Pete, I think I've got it!
That's great! Got what?
The triple deluxe weasel whomp. Observe.
(Bell clanging)
Impressive. One more time?
Rack 'em, Squinty!
I don't mind helping Eddy with his chores, as long as he--
What are you doing?
Oh, just hauling ice to the lemonade stand for Eddy.
But my trunk "frozed" up.
(Coughing)
Eddy's got me cooking my own chickens!
But that's his job.
He asked me to clean the dunking t*nk!
But I'm getting all wrinkly!
Maybe you better talk to Eddy.
You're right.
Marvin, we're in big trouble!
What's wrong, Jack?
The Carnival Inspector called.
He's on his way over!
Look! This place is a mess!
If we don't pass inspection, we'll be shut down!
Can't you ask for a postponement?
I already did, no dice!
A notice was delivered yesterday and signed for by Eddy!
(Gasping)
Jack, you stall the inspector. I'll find Eddy.
(Bell clanging)
Eddy!
Hi! I almost broke my own record!
Eddy, this isn't the time for playing games.
Just a sec, Marvin.
The Carnival Inspector is coming!
"The Carnival Inspector"? Uh-oh.
"Uh-oh" is right!
He says he sent a notice and you signed for it.
Oh, no, the envelope, I forgot to deliver it to Jack!
I forgot about everything.
Look at this place! I'll never get it cleaned up in time!
STRIPESOh, yes, you will.
You guys are the best! Let's go!

Whew! That was close.
Sorry, everyone.
I promise never to let my play time
get in the way of my work again.
Good idea.
Makes sense to me.
You got it.
But since we're all cleaned up,

Good newsThe Mayor is coming to the big show tonight!
If he likes it, we'll be in all the papers!
Everyone in town will want to come!
Wow!
I bet he'll even declare a holiday in our honour:
Carnival Day!
Ooh, I like the sound of that!
Uh, Jack, shouldn't you catch up with the Mayor?
Oh, right. Uh, see you later!
The Mayor at our show, it's so exciting!
I'm getting nervous already!
You should be!
Everybody knows the Mayor's impossible to please!
He looked friendly enough.
What have you heard?
I heard he tore down the bandstand in the town square
because the music was too loud.
Oh, dear!
Ah, that's just a rumour!
If he doesn't like our performance,

I'm sorry. But, this morning, I accidentally sat on your hat.

That's okay, Jack.
