02x04 - Whose Carrots Are They, Anyway?

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

That Brian gets me so mad sometimes.

He's downstairs in the kitchen

supposedly making cookies
for his baseball team bake sale.

All he's really making is a mess.

When I try and be a nice big sister
and help him

he throws me out of the kitchen.

It's such a joke, Dinah.
He doesn't know what he's doing.

You know what I said
when he told me to get lost?

I said fine do it your way.

When the cookies are a disaster
he'll know where to find me to apologize.

Or will he?

[man 1] Next is this beautiful sweatshirt
that says "I'm royalty and you're not,"

available in king size and queen size.

-Hello, Your Majesty.
-Hello, Alice.

What are you watching?

The Royal Shopping Network.
You can really get some good bargains.

Today's crowning value, the queen's clock.

-Wake up each morning to this:
-[automated voice] It's time to get up,

but since you're the queen
you don't have to if you don't want to.

Oh! I have to have that.

-Your Majesty--
-Shh!

Oops. I didn't realize
she was on the phone.

She ordering
from the Royal Shopping Network.

Oh!

Hopefully not another porcelain princess.

-Rabbit, did you want something?
-Yes, Your Majesty.

I wonder if I might ask a teensy, weensy,
eensy, bitsy little favor?

No! Your relatives cannot stay
at the palace again.

I did that once,
you should have seen my lettuce bill.

No, Your Majesty. No.

I wonder if I might use the courtyard
this afternoon

for a simple little carrot tasting.

Mr. Rabbit, what is a carrot tasting?

A carrot tasting is a little get together
where people sit around and taste carrots.

Why would I want to do that?

I know what carrots taste like.
They taste like carrot.

Of course they do, yes, yes.

But this year
I'm harvesting my own carrots.

It's my very first crop
from my own little garden.

Mr. Rabbit, you must be very proud
of your first carrot crop.

As a matter of fact, Alice, I am proud.

Proud enough to bust my buttons.

Oh!

Honestly, Rabbit,
it's just a figure of speech,

you don't have to demonstrate.

Sorry. Sorry, Your Majesty.

And of course you can have your party.
What do I look like, a mean queen?

Just let me know if you need anything.
Silverware? China? Speech?

Uh, no. Thank you, Your Majesty.
No, I don't want anything complicated,

just a simple little carrot tasting.

Oh. Well, fine.

[grunting]

This must be one big carrot.

I thought carrots
were supposed to be good for you.

They are good for you.

It's just that harvesting
can be tough on your tail.

I didn't know you have an orange thumb.

Oh! I believe you mean a green thumb.

A talent for getting plants to grow.

But you're growing carrots,
and carrots are orange.

Yeah, but the tops are green.

Well, I guess you have an orange thumb
with a green fingernail.

Oh, yes, I...

[stammers]

Let's forget my thumb, shall we?

What thumb?

What thumb?

You wouldn't like to come
to my carrot tasting, would you?

Hm. Depends. Will your party have music?

Party games? Cat nap and dip?

-[purrs]
-No.

Then why would I want to come?
It sounds boring.

It's not boring, just... simple.

Hm. Simply boring if you asked me.

Oh, why must everything in life be showy,
flashy and glittery?

Why can't we lead the simple life?

Like they do down on the farm.

[sputters]

So you will come to my carrot tasting?

I would, but I have something
very important to do this afternoon.

I have to, um, vacuum my scratching post.

Sheesh! A simple "no thanks"
would have been nicer.

[scat singing]

Say, Rabbit, what's up with the get-up?

-What get-up?
-The overalls, straw hat, wheel borrow.

You look like old MacDonald with fur.

As a matter of fact I am farming today.

It's my very own carrot patch.

You see, I just delivered
one batch of fresh carrots to the palace.

I'm on my way back for another.

It's my very first crop.

And I'm so proud I could bust my buttons.

Honestly, Rabbit,
it's just a figure of speech,

you didn't have to demonstrate.

Oh. Uh, sorry.

I'm giving a simple little carrot tasting
this afternoon.

And you're both invited.

-Nothing fancy, not even invitations.
-What?

You've got to have invitations.

-I do?
-Sure.

A party without invitations
is like a day without--

-Sunshine.
-Actually, I was gonna say clouds.

You know I like it overcast.

Listen, Rabbit.
You go ahead and finish farming your crop.

Dee and I will make invitations.

Oh, well,
perhaps invitations would be nice.

But you will keep them simple,
like my party?

Don't worry, next to peas,

our invitations will be the best things
to go with your carrots.

Oh, lovely. Lovely.
"Next to peas." [laughs]

I guess we should keep
the invitations simple.

He didn't really mean that.
You know Rabbit.

He just didn't want us
to go to any trouble.

-Ah!
-Hm?

Oh, what are these?

Invitations for Rabbit's carrot tasting.

Invitations? I didn't think Mr. Rabbit
was going to make any.

He wasn't. So we made them for him.

Go ahead, open them.

[screams]

What do you think, Your Majesty?

I think you better warn me
next time you give me a card that attacks.

Oh, sorry.

"You're cordially invited
to Rabbit's first ever carrot tasting.

Come sample the vegetables of his labor."

Mr. Dum, but isn't it the expression
the "fruits of his labor"?

Not when you're talking about carrots.

Wait a minute. These invitations
are showy, flashy and glittery.

I thought the Rabbit said
he wanted a simple party.

He said that, Your Majesty.
But you know Rabbit,

he's always too shy
to ask for what he really wants.

Maybe Mr. Rabbit did want a fancy party,
Your Majesty.

He was just afraid to ask,
since it's your palace.

You don't supposed he expects us
to surprise him with a bigger party.

Well, it is his first harvest
from his own little carrot patch.

He's always been a faithful furry friend.

He's a good right-hand rabbit.

And he doesn't shed that much
on the furniture.

Well, now I feel terrible.
I don't want to let Rabbit down.

-What should we do?
-We should throw Mr. Rabbit a big party.

[grunting] Oh!

[chuckles]

Ah, no one could call me a dumb bunny.

Say, Rabbit, is it too late
for me to change my mind

-about coming to your carrot tasting?
-Oh, not at all.

Wait a minute. Why do you
suddenly want to come to my party?

I thought it was going to be boring.

Oh, I suddenly have this funny feeling
in my whiskers,

that it's not going to be boring at all.

Is there anything you'd like me to bring?

Well, no. Just bring your smiling face.

-[scat singing]
-[phone ringing]

Hey, Hatter. It's for you. It's the queen.

The queen?
Why is she calling me on your phone?

She said your line's busy.

Of course it's busy, Hare is using it.
In fact he's trying to call the queen.

Thank you.

-Hello.
-Hatter?

I've been calling you for 20 minutes
and getting a busy tone.

-Don't you have "queen waiting"?
-No, Your Majesty.

-Well, I order you to get it.
-Righty-roo.

Now, listen up. Rabbit's harvesting
his very first crop of carrots

and he's positively
busting his buttons over it.

-Oh, thanks for the warning.
-That's not why I'm calling.

Uh, I'm helping Rabbit out
with his carrot tasting party.

And I need you to cook up
some carrot dishes.

Say no more, Your Majesty.

I'll say some more if I want to,
I'm the queen.

No. I meant you don't have to say anymore,
I'll take care of everything.

Hare and I will cook up a carrot cuisine
that will knock the Rabbit's socks off.

-Rabbit doesn't wear socks.
-Oh, how true that is.

Buh-bye!

Thank you.

I couldn't get through the queen,
her line was busy the whole time.

That's because she was making
a mouse call.

-Why were you telephoning the queen?
-I have no idea.

Well, never mind that. Ahem.

Hare, I made a promise
that we'd cook up some snicky-snacks

for the Rabbit's carrot tasting party.

But I haven't the foggiest idea
what we can make with a bunch of carrots.

You're not alone, Hatter.

Most people don't know what to do
with... the carrot.

It's such a misunderstood vegetable.

So for just a moment, Hatter,

I would like you to consider...
the carrot.

-h*! [chuckles]
-[Dum] Caterpillar! Special delivery.

We have an invitation for you.
Rabbit's having a party.

His carrot tasting, I know.

He passed by this morning

and couldn't wait to tell me all about it.

Yeah, he's so proud of his carrots,
he busting his buttons.

I know. One almost hit me on the nose.

He didn't say anything about invitations.

It was our idea to help him out.

-It's going to be a big party. Music.
-Games.

[both] And all the food you can eat.

[laughing]

Really?

He told me
he just wanted a simple get together.

A few friends over to enjoy his carrots.
[yelps]

Some invitation, huh?

-Bigger and better to match the party.
-Yeah!

I think the two of you
should listen to this story.

Once there was a boy named Timmy,

who was never happy with his toys.

He threw tantrums

until his parents bought him
bigger and better toys.

But the new toys
never made him happy for long.

One day, a new boy moved in next door.

Timmy was very curious
about the new boy's toys.

-Did you unload my spaceship?
-Mm-hm.

Have you found my castle yet?

Mm-hm.

-What about my fire truck?
-Oh, yeah.

To Timmy the new boy's toys
sounded much better than his.

He had to see them.

But when Timmy ran next door

he saw the new boy
playing with a simple cardboard box!

This is just a stupid box.

I thought you had a spaceship,
a castle and a fire truck.

But I do.

All it takes is a little imagination.

Timmy saw that the new boy was right.

From then on, instead of wanting bigger
and better toys...

he simply used his imagination
to think bigger and better things.

You see, sometimes simple is better
than bigger and better.

Well, maybe sometimes.

But Rabbit's our friend
and we want to give him a big party.

Even if he thinks he doesn't want it.

Maybe he doesn't want it.

-Nah.
-Nah.

See you there.

Hurry, everyone. Hurry.

Isn't Mr. Rabbit still cleaning
after gardening?

Yes. But I just heard
his blow-dryer click off.

So that means two pats of Aqua Bunny
and he'll be right out.

Mr. Rabbit's gonna be so surprised

when he sees all the trouble
we went through just for his carrots.

[yells]

My gosh. I didn't realize
there was another party going on.

[stammers] Your Majesty,

I thought you said I could have
my carrot tasting this afternoon.

-This is your carrot tasting, Rabbit.
-Yeah!

It is?

But I never asked for anything as showy,
flashy and glittery as this.

That's because you never think to ask
for something nice for yourself.

So then,
you people went to all this trouble

just because you thought
it was what I really wanted?

Sure, it's the least we could do
for our friend.

-Well, gee, that was very nice.
-[Alice] It was nothing.

Well, uh, let's taste my carrots.

First, I have to give my little speech.

[applause]

Thank you. Thank you.

And welcome to Mondo Carrot,

a celebration of Rabbit's carrots.

You know, a funny thing happened to me
on the way to the produce department.

A turnip showed up.

Come on, Dee,
now it's your turn to bob for carrots.

-Well, here goes nothing.
-All right.

All right! He got one!

-Carrot pizza rolls?
-Carrots on the half-shell?

No. No, thank you. I prefer to wait
and taste my carrots... plain.

-Carrot pizza rolls?
-Carrot on the half-shell?

Don't mind if I do. And do. And do.

There you go.

-Rabbit, you can get it.
-[chattering]

-My turn.
-[Dum] Go, Queen!

Aw!

-Carrot puffs?
-[chattering]

-Carrots in a blanket?
-[chattering]

Isn't it about time we tasted my carrots?

Not yet, Rabbit.
It's time for the big musical number.

[mouthing] Big musical number?

[Hatter] And now straight
from her engagement at the palace,

Her Majesty, the Queen of Carrots!

Doesn't anyone want to taste my carrots?

Sorry, Rabbit,
I've had so many carrot snacks,

I don't think I can eat another bite.

Dum is right,
I couldn't even look at another carrot.

Say, am I too late
to play pin the top on the carrots?

We're gonna play right after the conga.

Mr. Rabbit?

Mr. Rabbit!

[sighs] The carrot conga
simply can't go wrong-a, indeed.

I know my friends were only trying to help

but they managed to turn
my simple little carrot tasting

into a carrot catastrophe.

All I wanted was to share
my home-grown carrots with my friends.

Was that so wrong?

No, it wasn't, Mr. Rabbit.

We came to tell you we're sorry
your carrot tasting got out of hand.

Alice helped us to understand
where we went wrong.

We didn't believe you when you said
you really wanted a simple party.

I guess we sort of forgot
whose party it was.

We sure did.

By trying to make the party bigger
and better, all we did was ruin it.

I liked it.

Well, that's all right. I just felt bad

because now nobody's had a chance
to taste my carrots,

and everybody's too full
from eating carrot pizza rolls,

carrots on the half-shell, carrot puffs,
carrots in a blanket.

Nonsense. We're not too full
to try your beautiful carrots.

We're not?

-Oh, yeah.
-No...

In fact, we're so hungry,
those carrots may not be enough.

Really? Oh, well, then,
I'll pull a few more, shall we?

Dinah, I've decided.

I'm not waiting up here
for Brian to come and apologize,

I'm going to march
right down to the kitchen

and apologize to him.

Well, even though I meant well,
it wasn't right for me to butt in

and try and tell Brian
how to bake his cookies.

Besides, we all have to learn
from our mistakes.

Right, Dinah? Even me.
