[whooshing]

Wing tips. Check. Tail. Check. String.

[sighs]

Check.

Ah, Mr. Kite, you and your co-pilot
make a splendid team indeed.

[snaps]

Wait. What?

I'm on my own?

[stammers] Stay calm, Mr. Kite, stay calm.

[gasps]

[laughs]

Oh, I think I have the measure
of this boisterous updraft.

[yells] No!

[grunting]

That hurt... quite a bit.

Severe bleeding. Check.

Pain. Check.

Surely someone must have witnessed
Mr. Kite's crash landing.

Just stay calm... till help arrives.

[whimpering]

Help.

I spy with my compound eye
something beginning with "S."

-Science.
-Stars.

Awesome!

Sawesome?

[Jay] Strawberries.
[all] Oh.

My turn. My turn.

I spy with my compound eye
something beginning with...

rock.

Rock?

You always guess.

[gasps]

Who-- Who are you?
What are you doing to me?

Can't you see I'm hurt?

[all grunting]

Relax. We're helping you.

Oh, you are such brave
and kind souls, all.

Alas, you are too late.

Mr. Kite has lost too much blood.

It's just strawberry.

Yum! Strawberry.

[exhales sharply]

I... I'm starting to feel much better now.

Mr. Kite may pull through after all.

How did you end up
in the forest, Mr. Kite?

You don't want to hear
all the boring details.

Hm.

But since you insist, let me tell you

about my exploits
as a daring aerial adventurer.

[trumpets blaring]

[all cheering]

[Mr. Kite] I was once the envy
of all the kites at the air show.

I flew over the desert...

across the seas...

climbed to heights
no other kite dared to go.

Until now.

-We have to get you back up there.
-I admire your spirit.

But if Mr. Kite has learned anything
in these dark testing times,

it's that he is nothing
without his co-pilot.

Where's your co-pilot?

[all] Whoa.

The big house?

Then we'll get you there!

But... I'm in no condition to fly.

Ugh.

Ow!

I think I've found the problem.

And I have just what we need
to crick-tify it.

[Mr. Kite] Ow!

Oh, the pain. The pain.
It's too much for Mr. Kite to bear.

But-- But I haven't started yet.

Oh, well, carry on then.

Wait, I-- I'm sweating.

Oh, it's so hot in here.

Aah. Thank you. Much better.

I'm ready, Dr. Crick.

[Mr. Kite] Wingtips. Check.

Tail. Oh, check.

-Fabric. Check.
-Awesome!

Mr. Kite's ready to fly.

Oh, yes, way up in the sky. All alone.

Nothing I'd like more.

What's wrong?
Don't you want to get back up in the air?

[stammers] I do, but after my accident,

I'll need something special
to make that leap again.

What do you mean "special"? Like what?

Special like an all-singing,
all-dancing festival of flying feats?

Would that be special enough?

Well, I must admit,
as an old air-show star,

I do respond well to an audience.

Then, let the show begin.

[cheers and applause]

[trumpets blare]

[crowd gasps, then jeers]

[breaks wind]

Wait! Please. Don't go! Ahh.

Oh, I failed you all.

We have to do something, anything.

Or the whole show's over.

[gasps]

Can't breathe. I need air.
Someone give me some air.

[gasps, then exhales]

So, this is it then,
Mr. Kite's illustrious career over.

All over.

I should have known
I was never made for flying solo.

Don't give up yet, Mr. Kite.
There must be something.

Oh! That's it.
We were missing one ingredient.

-What kind of ingredient?
-An essential ingredient.

A neshenshel ingrebient!

Of course. Wind.
That's what we need.

-So, can we make this go faster?
-Well, uh, it's not impossible.

[whimpers]

[grunting]

Don't stop now! He's ready to fly!

-Aah!
-Whoa!

[screaming]

[laughs]

[screams]

[chuckling] Pull up, Mr. Kite. Pull up!

-But Mr. Kite has never flown solo before.
-You're doing it now.

I am?

I am.

I'm flying solo.

I am flying solo.

[gasps]

[both screaming]

-[crash]
-[grunting]

[gasps] Mr. Kite!

I'm coming to get you.

[girl] Oh! My kite.

I thought you were lost forever.

Is there, uh... any sign of them yet?

-I spy with my compound eye...
-Jay!

...something starting with B.

-Big house?
-Big house?

Right first time.

-What about Mr. Kite? Did he make it?
-Did he? Did he?

[sun chuckles]

[all cheering]

Thank you. Thank you all, for everything.

[wind blowing]

[Walter laughs]

Load the crick-tapult with petals.
Oh, my belly-ness this is so exciting!

Uh, Walter?
By my crick-to-calculations,

it'd be safer with, um... half this many.

But this is for Kumi's birthday.

Imagine the look on her face
when these petals explode.

Suddenly her favorite color
fills her universe.

So, I won't have a petal less.

Awesome! What are they?

They're the prizes for the games.

And I'm gonna make sure
that Kumi wins them all.

I love this game! Can I practice?

Okay, uh, close your eyes.

[giggling]

[gibbers]

Petals. Perfect.

Games. Wonderful.

Berry cakes. So delicious.

[gasps]

Buzz! No!

[shrieks]

Uh, Kumi, I need you here now.

[grunts]

Oh.

What a surprise.

I hereby declare this birthday party
officially open.

First game, hide and seek.

Here's good. No, no, here.

[giggles]

-I can find my own hiding place, Walter.
-No, no.

You need to have the perfect hiding spot.

Here.

Ready or not, here I come.

[giggles]

Walter?

-You're out.
-Huh? Me? How did you see me?

Not that way. No one over there. No one.

Look over here.

Or over here. Or here.

Kumi, you're out.

-[Kumi giggles]
-[Walter groans]

Next game. Pyramids.

Aah. Woo-hoo!

I won!

Walter. Stop pushing.

-Jay's won!
-No, he can't.

It's your special day. You have to win.

[all] Whoa!

-Ouchie.
-Ow.

The ouchiest.

Don't worry, you'll win the next game,
cross my squish.

-Walter, I really don't need you to--
-The Three-Legged Race!

Unh.

Faster, Kumi, faster.

You're going to win
even if I have to throw you over that line

with my very last breath.

[Kumi] Ugh. Ow!

Oopsie.

[Kumi] Prickles! Ow.

Walter?

Could the next game be... Ow!

-...a bit less dangerous?
-Yes.

I have a dent in my head sticks.

And my leg's kind of... uh, bent.

And I hurties.

So, you'd like to organize
your own little Kumi party, would you?

-Oh, Walter, we didn't mean--
-Fine.

I know when I'm not wanted.

I'll just take my delicious berry cakes
and go home...

The berry cakes?

Stop!

Oh, please don't go, Walter!

-We just meant--
-It's too late!

I know when I'm not wanted.

[sobbing]

I bet they're feeling sorry now.

They won't be having any fun without me.

[whispering] Maybe if he sees us playing,
he'll come back?

-Ha-ha-ha.
-Yeah! Ha-ha.

They don't even miss me.

[crying]

All right. If that's how it is, then--
Then I'll just find other friends.

[groaning] What do we play now?

[sighs] If Walter was here,
he'd tell us a story.

Or give us a group hug.

By my crick-to-calculations,
four bugs are a group.

A hug isn't a hug
without Walter's squish.

You want me to go find him, right?

-Yes!
-Yes! Uh-huh.

[screams, then laughs]

[Walter] Well, my new friends,

this is the story of the Yellow Submarine.

Kumi, Jay and-- Uh, oh.

Never mind their names.

We were on an adventure
to the Big House.

[bug 1] We love your stories!

Oh, that's so kind of you,
my new friends.

And thanks for the ice cream. It's...
[slurps] belly-licious.

[bug 2] Ha-ha. Belly-licious!

You're so-- Ahem.

[in high-pitched voice]
You're so funny, Walter.

[in deep voice] Keep going, Walter.

[in normal voice] Well, you wouldn't
believe what happened next.

Huh.

And his new friends gave him...
an ice cream?

Mm-hm. We have to do something.
We have to bring him back.

[in high-pitched voice] So, what--? Ahem.

[in deep voice]
So, what happened next, Walter?

Tell us, tell us!

[exhales]

What am I doing?
Why am I talking to sticks?

I want real friends.

Real friends who can really talk back!

I'll put on a play.

Yes.

The best play anyone has ever seen.

[Buzz] It's getting dark.

[whispers] And scary.

-[Walter] And as the flood water rose...
-[gasps] What's that noise?

It's Walter, telling a story.

[Walter] Save us! Oh, my belly-ness.

Could that be a...
[in high-pitched voice] submarine?

And then Buzz said,
[imitating Buzz] "What's a slub-ma-sheen?"

And then Kumi said... Ugh.

What's the use?

This isn't Kumi. This isn't real.

♪ Here I stand head in hand ♪

♪ Turn my face to the wall ♪

♪ If she's gone
I can't go on ♪

♪ Feeling two-feet small ♪

♪ Everywhere people stare ♪

♪ Each and every day ♪

♪ I can see them laugh at me ♪

♪ And I hear them say ♪

♪ Hey
You've got to hide your love away ♪

♪ Hey
You've got to hide your love away ♪

What--? What are you doing here?

Uh, we...

-We came to--
-Yes, we came to... uh...

To see your play!

You did? All right.

It's about our adventure
in the yellow submarine,

and I'm at the part
where the water is rising.

Oh, my belly-ness.

Could that be--?
[imitating Kumi] A submarine!

-And then Buzz says:
-What's a slub-ma-sheen?

[chuckles] And then Kumi says:

It's like a boat that drives
under the ocean, Buzz.

It's completely under the water.

Ah. Except for the... bit that you can see
completely above the water. Heh.

-And it's completely--
-Awesome!

And then I say,
"It's our only way to get home."

Hey, Walter?

Now you say,

[imitating Walter] "But how can I fit
my squish into that thing?"

But how can I... ahem.

♪ How can I even try ♪

♪ I can never win ♪

♪ Hearing them, seeing them ♪

♪ In the state I'm in ♪

♪ Hey
You've got to hide your love away ♪

We made Walter feel really sad.

♪ Hey
You've got to hide your love away ♪

But why do you think you have to hide?

Because...

I just like you all so much...

and I'm scared you don't like me.

Walter, we like you.

-You do?
-Yeah.

-Even if sometimes we argue.
-Only sometimes.

And even the best friends argue...
sometimes.

Which is why we're here.

-To say... sorry.
-Sorry.

[scoffs] Thanks.

But-- But what about the party?

-Uh, did it actually finish?
-It didn't.

And we need you there. Come on.

[distant laughter and chattering]

[giggles] Yeah.
Everyone loves the squishy castle.

But who can bounce the highest?

[Jay] Ooh, me.
[Buzz] Me, me.
