01x38 - Bubble Trouble

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

Oops. Sorry, Goldie.
I didn't mean to scare you.

I was fishing out one last little thing.

There. Now your home is all clean.

What's that you said? "Tanks"?

You're welcome.

I'll tell you one thing.

That brother of mine is gonna get a piece
of my mind when he gets home.

Brian never cleans your fishbowl.

He lets you get dirtier because he knows
when I fish sit, I'll take care of it.

Doesn't Brian realize how important
clean water is to fish?

A fish tank is its own world.

I know another place that's its own world.

[Rabbit] Electric bill.

Good grief! Why is my bill so high?

You do go through
a lot of electricity here.

Phone bill.

Good grief! Why is my bill so high?

You do go through
a lot of phone calls here.

Carrot bill.

Good grief!

Why is my carrot bill so high?

Eek.

-Hello!
-Oh, hello, Alice!

I can't tell you
how happy I am to see you.

How are you, Your Majesty?

Well, I'm not my usual perky self.

Paying bill's always makes me
a crabby queen!

-[clearing throat]
-I know what you mean.

I'm the same way when I haven't saved up
enough of my allowance to buy what I want.

Well, if I get one more big bill,
I'm really going to hit the roof!

Uh, there's still the plumbing bill,
Your Majesty.

Good grief!

This is a princely sum to charge a queen.

And we still have to call the plumber
to repair the leaky pipes.

But I can't keep pouring
good money down the drain.

Oh! [laughing]

"Money down the drain."

Oh.

It's time that I did something
to lower these bills!

Why, I can't keep living like royalty.

But you are royalty.

Oh, right.

Well, nevertheless, Rabbit, I want you
to find a way to save me some money.

Oh, yeah, I know, Your Majesty,
we'll just cut corners.

Gotta fatten up the old piggy bank,

So, you see, Your Majesty.

Cutting corners...

make sense.

Very good, Rabbit!
So, what do we cut first? The carrots?

Uh, actually, Your Majesty.

-I have a better idea.
-Good.

I've already canceled
our bottled water service.

What?

If I don't drink water
I'll dry up and look like a prune.

Won't the other queens
have a nice laugh over that

at the next draw-bridge tournament.

I've got to have my pure water.

And you shall have it, Your Majesty,
at no cost, I might add.

You see, yesterday,
I made a little discovery.

So this is a freshwater spring?
Look, it's bubbling.

Yes! It bubbles up from an
underground source of pure natural water.

Oh, Rabbit, you're a genius.

Before I cancel my bottled water
for good, I want to taste this.

Yes. Yes of course.

Here you are, Your Majesty. Drink up.

Mm.

This water is good.
No, no, no. It's better than good.

It's great. No, it's even better
than great. It's free!

Why, this water is fit for a queen.

[both scatting]

-What do you think you're doing?
-Oh, hi!

We're just gonna cool our tootsies
in the water.

Not that water you're not.
It's 100 percent pure.

So are our tootsies.

[laughing]

But Her Majesty
is going to drink this water.

I thought the queen paid for water
like the rest of us.

I did. But now thanks to Rabbit,
everybody can stop paying for water.

And drink for my fresh spring for free.

-Really?
-For free?

[both] Get your tootsies away
from my drinking water.

I want you to keep everybody's
tootsies away from the spring

so I'm making you water monitor.

Oh, Your Majesty.

You couldn't have picked
a better water monitor.

Even as a bunny I was wet behind the ears.

Mumsie always used to tell me--

Oh, good!

Just be sure our drinking water
stays fresh and clean.

Say, how about a special tea party
this afternoon

brewed with Wonderland's
own natural spring water?

-Oh!
-That's a great idea, Mr. Hatter.

[humming]

Hello, Rabbit. Care for a spring?

No, thanks. I'm caring for one already.

Oh, sorry.

Mine's a different kind of spring.

You see, Wonderland
will be getting its water now

from an underground spring.

And it's my job to see that nothing
unclean gets into the clean water.

That's a very important job you have.

And as I always say,

"Each of us should do our fair share
to take care of our world."

After all, it's the only one we've got.

And that reminds me of a story.

Hmm.

"Once there was an extremely handsome
young caterpillar

who lived in the middle
of a beautiful forest of mushrooms.

His life was very full
and so was his belly."

[Rabbit]
But don't some mushrooms makes you sick?

[Caterpillar] Some can make you very sick.

But luckily for the caterpillar,

all the mushrooms here
were the "good for you" kind.

Phew.

"Then one day some humans came along

and began bulldozing everything
to build a road.

The mushroom forest
was going to be destroyed.

[screams]

So I-- I mean, he bravely grabbed
the last of the mushrooms

and hid it beneath a fallen tree.

The last mushroom was saved.

And from that mushroom,
a whole new mushroom forest grew.

Thus the caterpillar's brave deed

made the world
a more delicious place to live."

And now that you're responsible
for taking care of the water supply...

you just might want to borrow this book
I have on water pollution.

Thank you.

Oh! Yes, it is such an important job.

I wouldn't want to pass along
any wrong information to anyone.

No, indeed you wouldn't
want to be all wet.

-No, I--
-[Caterpillar laughing]

Dee, isn't it great that Wonderland now
has its own spring water at no cost to us.

You got that right.

That's why I was so happy to help
by painting this sign.

"Be like the Queen, keep it clean."

What in the world is all this yammering?
I'm trying to take a nap.

-You cats are always napping.
-[purrs]

Well, you'd be tired too

if you just spent
the last half hour chasing your tail.

Come here. Please. Please. Ugh.

-Uh, Cat, people don't have tails.
-Hmm?

Which is why
they're always pulling on ours.

[laughing]

It's jealousy. Pure and simple.

As long as you are here,

we'd like to ask you to be careful
whenever you're near the spring.

Since we'll be using it
for drinking water,

-we wouldn't want you falling in.
-Mm-hm. [shouts]

Don't worry. [shivers]

Cats hate water.

-Just be careful if you take a drink.
-I don't drink from springs.

I drink Purr-ier.
It's the cat's meow of bottled water.

Fine, just remember,

if the Queen finds fur in her water,
the fur is gonna fly.

This furs gonna fly anyway. I'm leaving.

Now, if everyone
will just pay attention to this sign,

our water will stay clean.

Yeah, it only takes a minute
to think before you pollute.

It looks like our brushes
have soaked long enough.

-Where should we dump this dirty water?
-Let's dump it over by the tree.

Stop!

Don't dump that water near our spring.

All that paint could gum-up
our drinking water supply.

But we weren't gonna dump it in the water.

According to this book,
if you dump dirty water into the ground

it can seep through the ground
down into the clean water.

Man, that's as bad
as dumping it right into the water.

And we thought we were so smart
about water pollution.

We better find out the right way
to get rid of this water.

You don't mind if we read over
your shoulder, do you?

Oh, uh...

Well, in this case, no.

[Mad Hatter & Hare scatting]

Hare, after we wash these teacups

the Queen will be able
to see herself in them.

Because we'll scrub them so clean?

That and because this is the set
with the Queen's picture in the bottom.

So, let's scrub-a-dub-dub!

Now we're ready
for our spring water tea party.

Yep! We'd better get rid
of this dirty dishwater.

-Oh, yeah. Yeah.
-[clearing throat]

Hm. The drain won't drain.

Couldn't we just sort of
splash the water out?

Sure, if we wanna make
the ground all muddy

and have everybody sliding
all over at the party.

Oh, you're right.
Let's save that for a special occasion.

Let's put the water in this bucket

and then will dump it in the stream
behind my house.

[uptempo music playing]

Hold it, you two!

We are holding it.

Where are you going with that dirty water?

Our drain's clogged
so we're gonna dump it in the stream.

But that could ruin our drinking water.

We don't drink out of that stream.

At least if I dump it in there,
the stream will carry it away from here.

Yes, but the stream
still has to carry it somewhere.

According to this book,

some of your suds could even end up
in our underground spring.

Spring.

Well, gee, we wouldn't want to sip soap.

Unless of course it's a chicken soap.

On second thought, even chicken soap
wouldn't taste very good.

We better go back and clean the drain.

So, Your Majesty will be pleased to hear
that I've already saved our spring

from careless polluters twice today.

Oh, wonderful, Rabbit.

Now that I know the water supply is safe,

I can get ready for the Hatter's tea party

by taking my double-wubble bubble bath.

By the way. I trust that you called
the plumber to replace those old pipes.

Well, Your Majesty, since you did ask me
to cut corners here,

I sort of canceled the plumber.

Oh? Good as long as those old leaky pipes
don't leak inside the palace,

who cares if they leak outside?

Oh! That's what I thought, Your Majesty.

-Until I read this book.
-Hmm?

You see, sometimes dirty water can leak
into the water supply from bad pipes.

Oh! Don't you just hate when that happens?
Pfft. [laughs]

Yes.

Well, that's why I thought perhaps
Your Majesty could postpone your doub...

[stammering]

Your bath until after
we get the pipes fixed.

Postpone?

Queens don't know the meaning
of that word.

Oh, it means to put something off
until a later time.

You know, to rearrange the schedule,
change one thing to another time

so that you put something else in the...

Oh, you know what it means.

[scatting]

Ah. And finally, the secret ingredient.

Oil of ooh-la-la.

There's only one thing missing.

What's that?

Me.

Rabbit, you may go now.

Oh.

Oh.

Rabbit? Are you out there?

Oh!

There you are my...
[speaking indistinctly]

[squeaks]

Ah. Just look at that
sparkling spring water.

It sure is going to make tasty tea.

You can say that again.

-It sure is going to make tasty tea.
-Yeah.

This is one tea party
they won't soon forget.

They'll forget it eventually,
but not soon.

Hare!

-It's time for tea!
-Oh!

The first ever brewed with Wonderland's
own natural spring water,

breaks down ground-in dirt,
odors and tough stains.

Oh, I'm sorry.

That's what happens when you wash with
Wonderland's own natural spring water.

Pour, Hare.

-Don't feel sorry for me.
-No, pour the tea.

Oh, yes, of course. Yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

-I can't wait to taste this tea.
-Neither can I.

A good cup of tea is so civilized.

And it puts the Queen in a good mood.

I'll take a little cup, please.

How's the aroma, Your Majesty?

-Mm. It smells familiar.
-Well, to good clean living.

This is so exciting.

The first cup of tea
brewed with Wonderland's spring water.

Why, I feel positively bubbly.

Why, my cup is full of bubbles.

-Uh, just add lemon and stir.
-Okay.

-What's wrong with this tea?
-It's awful.

The Queen is really gonna be foaming
at the mouth.

Don't look now but she already is.

[coughing]

Hatter! This tea is terrible!

How true that is.

But on the bright side, we won't have
to wash the cups afterwards.

I demand to know what's happened
to Wonderland's natural spring water.

Uh-oh. It looks like the Queen's
really in a lather.

[all gasping]

-Rabbit!
-Oh!

You are my water monitor.

Why is Wonderland's
beautiful spring all gunky?

[stammering]

I don't know, Your Majesty.

It was your job to stop polluters
before they goofed up our water.

But he did his job.

He stopped Dee and me from emptying
our dirty water too close to the pond.

He stopped Hare and me from pouring
our dirty dish water in the stream.

Then what is this?

I'm afraid what we have here,
Your Majesty,

is a case of bubble trouble.

Wait a minute.

It looks to me like... bubble bath.

Okay.

Who took a bath here
and left a ring around the spring?

Actually, Your Majesty,
now that I look at it

it looks like your bubble bath.

What?

It smells like my bubble bath.

That's why the tea smelled familiar.

It smells like my oil of ooh-la-la.

But how did the Queen's bath water
get in the water supply?

There must be some leaky pipes.

The bath water seeped down
into the underground spring.

But I'm not blaming you.

I'm sure you didn't know
the pipes were leaking.

You didn't know they were leaking,
did you?

Uh...

I was going to have them fixed.

Do you have any idea how a--?
How much a plumber costs?

With all due respect,

how can you put a price
on our clean water?

It's priceless.

Alice is right.

We all drink the water in Wonderland
so we all have to take care of it.

None of this me, me, me.

What's wrong with me, me, me?

Oh. Right.

Even a queen has to be careful
not to pollute the water.

We all have to be part
of the pollution solution.

We're lucky it's soap suds.

Given some time,
that will clear up on its own.

But unless we start
being more careful with our water,

we may not be so lucky next time.

So now what do we do?

Your Majesty, it looks like
we'll have to go back

to ordering bottled water at the palace.

Oh. Then that means that you and I

will have to cut corners
somewhere else in the palace.

And since this was all my fault...

I'll make the sacrifice.

[all] Aw.

We'll reduce the carrot budget.

But, Your Majesty,
I eat most of the carrots at the palace.

Oh, well, then, we'll reduce
the celery budget.

But, Your Majesty.
I eat most of the celery.

Well, then, we'll reduce
the lettuce budget.

But, Your Majesty,
I eat most of the lettuce at the palace.

Boy, Goldie.
I thought fish were the only ones

who had to worry about clean water.
I guess it's important for all of us.

Oops. Looks like I missed something.

We can't throwing bad stuff
into our rivers and oceans

thinking it's going to go away.

Because away is always
going to be somewhere.

And somewhere might be
in my glass of water next time.
