01x08 - Stop the World, I Want to Get Off

[bunniefuu]

P.a.: Welcome to the bank
of acmetropolis,

Where your deposits
are always safe.

Go ahead, son.
Give it to him.

This is my first deposit.

Well, isn't
that exciting?

Man: listen up, people!

[People yelling]

[Both gasp]

I am massive.

This is a robbery,

So I'd appreciate
your full cooperation.

Hands up.

That's not what I call
cooperating.

Now half of you
reach for the sky...

Whaah!
Whaah!

Yuhh!
Whuhh!

And the other half
hit the floor.

[Groaning]

Uhh. Huh?

Mama!

Ugh.

As you can tell,
I'm into gravity.

Heh heh.
Well, that and money.

Ah. 5-Foot-thick
steeltanium bolts.

Heh. Hasn't anyone ever
heard of the word "challenge"?

Hmm. A 100 million
in quasarlinium,

And now it's mine.

Hey! That's mine!

Aw, I'm sorry,

But every little bit helps.

[Beeping]

Whaah!
Whaah!

Hyah!

Unh!
Uhh!

Oh, and have a nice day.

Ha ha ha!

In the year 2772,

A meteor strikes
the city planet of acmetropolis,

Knocking it off its axis.

This cosmic event releases
supernatural forces,

Unleashing a new kind of hero--

The loonatics.

[Choral singing]

Sportscaster: hello, and welcome
to the ultimate showdown,

The last game
of the basherball semifinals.

The winner today advances
to face the acme rangers

In the mondo bowl.

Check out
this move.

Hunh!

Whaah-hah-hah-hah!

Hunh. Hah.

Hmm?

Of course, if I was
a real basherball player,

I'd have a professional
basherball gravzooka.

[Slam muttering]

Hrr!

[Laughing]

I don't know
what you said,

But I'm going to be
insulted anyway.

Sportscaster: mr. Leghorn,
who are you rooting for today?

I would just like to say
how pleased--

I say--pleased I am

To announce
the mondo bowl

Is gonna take place
at the worldrome.

What's--

Team, we have a problem.

[Groans] can't it
wait till halftime?

Now, duck.

What's up, boss?

There's a thief at large

Committing robberies
all over acmetropolis.

A thief? Isn't that
beneath us supertypes?

Not if he's
a superthief.

Let's jet!

[Crowd yelling]

I am massive.

You guys chill out,

And while you're
lying around,

I'll just relieve you
of your trinkets. Ha ha ha.

Ace: ok, doc,
step away from the egg.

The loonatics, huh?
Interesting.

It appears massive's
popularity is growing.

How about I give you
a choice instead?

Save this one trinket,

Or save yourselves.

Don't you know the cost
of being heroes is rising?

Now for a hero sandwich.

No way.

Tech.

On it, chief.

Need some condiments?

Rrr!

Try to stop this,
rabbit, and this.

I've finished yo-yoing
with you loonatics.

Lexi: ace,
the guards.

Massive: the museum
is now closed.

Ace: loonatics,

We gotta get these
people out of here.

Huhh!

Ace: duck,
don't just stand there

With your hands
in your feathers.

Grab somethin'!

Pedestal: stop,
thief. Stop...

Hey, what's with
the roast duck?

I'm one of the good guys.

Ugh!

Stop, thief.

Well, guys, looks like
massive skipped.

How does someone
that big skip?

Oh, who cares?

I risked my feathers
to save this, uh...

Really, um...

What is this?

We need to pick

Where the next fight
goes down,

Get the home-court
advantage.

Zodavia: we could set up
a sting.

Duck: a sting.
That sounds painful.

Lay out a trap for him.

What is the one thing
massive wants the most?

Money, lots of it.

That egg was worth


I'm a little short.

Got any pennies
in your piggy bank, zodavia?

I have a little set
aside for a rainy day.

Do you have an idea?

Yeah. What if we make
a very public investment?

Today is a glorious day
for the luxury rocket industry.

Please join me in welcoming
our newest investor,

Mr. Mallard megabucks.

[Cheering]

Thank you. Thank you.

I am happy to invest


Quasarlinium bars

To build more of these
crazy rocket doohickeys.

Naturally I'd like
the next model

To have my face on it,
so I'm--

Duck, don't ad-lib.
Get on and get off.

[Whispering]
righto.

So in closing...

Everyone else
in position?

Oh, yeah.
Here, ace.

This is rev in position,
and, man, ace,

I gotta tell you
this is exciting!

Ace: we got it, rev.

Is our little surprise
ready to go?

My specially made

Handcrafted gravity
stabilization gyro

Is all set.

Any gravity
affected by massive

Can be instantly
restored to normal.

Ace: then we are good to go.

Hey!



Oh, i, uh--
I'm closed.

But, uh, you just got here.

Well, i--
that is to sa--

Here. Have a straw
on the house.

Well, well, well.
What have we here?

Massive amounts
of quasarlinium

And massive
amounts of me.

[Crowd panicking]

That's right. Run.

Run before you make me
throw my weight around.

No one stands up to massive.

Ace: yo, mean and green!

Didn't your mother
ever tell you

That money can't
buy you happiness?

She did. That's why
I'm stealing it.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

My body's so dense,
I'm invincible.

Ace: yah! Uhh!

You really think
your puny attacks

Are gonna do any good?

You have no chance
against my powers.

Quick, everyone,
while he's down!

Hrrr!

Whaah!
Whoa!

Feeling a little
lightheaded?

Huuh!

Ahem.
Forget about somebody?

Not exactly.

Yarrgh!

You see,
all their weight

Has to go somewhere.

[Strained]
thanks for clarifying.

I think you all
need a vacation.

Oh, where to send you.

Oh, I don't know.
How about the moon?

Yes. Ha ha ha.

Farewell, loonatics.

[All yelling]

According to this,

I weigh
negative 1,268 pounds.

Fascinating.

Real interesting,
tech,

But can you
make us heavier?

That is, without
making us look bloated.

And do it
before we run out

Of air to breathe.

Duck, can you point
tech's gyro up at us?

[Straining]

No, unless I can
do it by lying here

And not moving.

Nnnrr! Hang on.
I have an idea.

Oh, yeah.
The duck has landed.

Whoa! Still heavy! Ugh!

Yeep!

Hold on.
I'm comin' for ya.

If I can steer
this thing.

Thanks, duck.
We see you.

Everybody hang on.

Slam, let's hitch a ride.

Hrrr!

Got one shot at this.

Yeh! Yaah!

[Grunting]

[Beeping]

Duck's weight has crushed
the controls beyond repair.

It's gonna be
a rough landing.

Tech: now to grab
the gyro

And restore us
to normal gravity.

That's it.
Come to papa.

Ugh.
Uhh!

[Slam growling]

[Chuckles]

The gyro works.

We have gravity.

That's massive 2
and good guys zero.

So we know his power

Is all about
give and take--

Making something
lighter or heavier,

Then vice versa.

Maybe we can
figure out

How to use that
against him.

Got that right.

It's about time for us
to throw our weight around.

He stole 100 million
from the bank,

The egg was worth 150,

And we set him up

With 200 million
quasarlinium.

Oh, he keeps
one-upping himself,

So what's worth more
than that?

All this chasing
is gonna make us miss

The basherball game
at the worldrome,

And I wanna see
who's gonna win

This year's trophy.

That trophy's been
all over the news,

And I bet it's
pretty expensive.

Sportscaster: yes,
the biggest, most expensive

Trophy in the world
is up for grabs today,

Because this is
the mondo bowl,

And we're live
at the worldrome.

Tonight's game is sure to be
a spectacle.

It's the acmetropolis rangers
versus the larachian manglers.

And with me now is ranger
starting backer trick daley.

How do you feel
tonight, trick?

I feel pumped
and ready to play,

Mr. Sportscaster man.
Ha ha!

Good luck, trick.
And remember,

This is what you're
playing for...

The solid-gold,
diamond-studded

Mondo trophy
of the worldrome

Worth over 250,000
quasarlinium.

Think you can win
tonight?

Aw, man, we the best team
in the league.

We're gonna mangle
the manglers, man.

Oh, I'm sorry, trick,
but tonight's victory

Is not gonna be
a team effort.

I'm here now
with worldrome owner

And basherball league
president, mr. Leghorn.

What do you have there, sir?

When I watch
a basherball game,

I always--i say--
always keep a pot

Of my own special-recipe
chili-gurt close by.

It's the official snack
of the worldrome!

[Crowd cheering]

You ready, tech?

Yes. These gauntlets
use the same

Gravity stabilization
technology as my gyro

And should neutralize
massive's powers.

All we have to do
is get them on him.

Sportscaster:
the acmetropolis rangers

Are on their bikes
and entering the arena.

And now here come
the larachian manglers.

The game today will settle
a long-running feud

Between these 2 teams.

The rangers and the manglers
have taken the field,

And mr. Leghorn
is about to gravzooka

The first ball into play.

Heh heh heh
heh heh heh.

And they're off.

These are 2 fierce rivals,

And we can clearly see why
they call it basherball.

Wow! And trick daley
gravzookas the first ball.

And he passes to number 2,
chris kaye, the mauler.

The manglers are
in hot pursuit.

He looks unstoppable.

He shoots.

He scores!

[Horn blows]

The manglers
now have the ball.

Magma cassius looks
to even up the score.

Cassius shoots.

And chris the mauler
intercepts

And passes on to number 4.

This looks like
the old hook-and-ladder,

As trick daley shoots and--

[Crowd gasps]

I can't believe it.
It stopped in mid-air.

This is the most incredible
thing I've ever seen!

He's here.

Folks, you're witnessing
sports history today.

And what's this?

A new player on the field?

Let's move.

[Crowd booing]

Sorry for
the massive interruption.

I'm sure you all
recognize me,

So, yes, it is safe to assume
this is a robbery.

Now half of you
reach for the sky...

Whuh?
Whaah!

And the other half
hit the floor.

[Groaning]

Ok, sir, you made--
I say--you've made your point.

Here. Take this and scram.

I'm not some
petty thief,

Mr. Leghorn.

Who else in acmetropolis
would ever have the guts

To steal something
on live tv?

I'm the greatest thief

Acmetropolis
has ever seen,

So I'm gonna
have to go home

With something
a lot bigger.

This is the crime
of the millennium.

Your ratings should
go through the roof.

Ace: you know,
for the price of the ticket,

You'd think we'd get
a better halftime show.

Ace: take him down, slam!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Aah!
Huh?

[Crowd cheers]

Aah!
Rev, go!

Ok, so now I can
give this guy a taste

Of his own medicine.

Let's see
how you like it

When you're being
punched around, big guy.

Ugh!
Uhh!

Time for you
to slow down, bird.

Unh! Too heavy!

Yah! Nnnnnnnn!

[Growling]

Not this time,
big guy!

Uh-oh.

Got ya, slam.

I'll reverse this
with my--

Uhh! Going down.

Yehh!

Tech, are you ok?

Define ok.

Hey, uh, I'm just
gonna borrow these.

Fire!

Uhh!

Lexi: tag! You're it!

Score one
for the home team.

[Speaking larachian]

Oops. And you guys.

Why, you little...

[Gasps]

Hah!

Ace: game's over, massive.

Ha ha ha ha!

I told you,
you can't hurt me.

Maybe not,

But I'm working on making you
pretty uncomfortable.

Duck, lexi, blast him!

[Gasps] aah!

My trophy!

Ugh!

Ok, I've really had

About enough of--

What's the matter?
Don't like chili-gurt--

Beans and all
that delicious...

Gurt.

Of course, it make you
pack on the pounds.

That's why
you'll never see me--

Oh, you wanna
be lighter?

Fine.

Uh, that's not
exactly what--aiiii!

Going up.

You get him, duck?

That would be a no.

Yah!

Come on down
and join the party.

Lexi: eww! Duck cooties!

Wait. Don't move.

I think we're holding
each other in place.

Eww! My face is
in your armpit!

Now, where was i?

Eh...

The trophy!

When are they
gonna learn?

Massive always
gets paid.

Now, now. Gently.

You know you didn't
win that. Hunh!

You're through,

You flea-bitten
rabbit! Ha ha!

That's bunny, doc.

Ha! Oh, you missed.

Well, then,
bunny's going down.

No, you are, doc.

Huh?

[Groaning]

Here's a little bling-bling
for your trip to sing sing.

If you think
these things

Can hold me,
you're wrong.

You can't
control gravity.

Yeah, but it'll do
for now.

Mr. Leghorn: terrific!
I say, terrific job!

I'd like to give you
a reward

For saving
all these people

Who paid good money
to come into my worldrome.

But, you know,
we can't accept

Your reward,
mr. Leghorn.

Uh, but if we could,

What kind of reward
are we talking about?

Oh. Well, uh...

How about a lifetime supply
of my own red-hot chili-gurt?

Too rich for us.

But not slam.

[Panting]

Go to town, son.

Ok. It's official.

I'm gonna be sick.
