Have you ever noticed people

not taking responsibility for something?


[Karma]
Stick around.

I'mma show you what went down!


-[slurping]

-Mm-hmm!


-[barks]

-Whoa! [laughs]


-Hey, girl! You ready?

-Yup! Let me just grab my…

Whoa! Is it just me,

or is the Community Center

a little bit… extra today?


Eh, I don't know. Looks like

a normal Saturday at the Center to me.


-Huh?

-Gotcha! Ooh, this girl on fire!


-[groans] No fair!

-[barks]


Huh. I didn't know the Neighborhood

Council was meeting today.


Well now, that metal bench, oh,

it look like it'd be cold on your hiney!

Well, let me rebut.

Wooden benches make splinters…

[shudders] …in all the worst places!

[barks]

-Hmm…

-Whoa!


-Mr Crawford's chess class is--

-Shh!


All right, I just moved from H to E.

Now whatcha got?


-Hm. Checkmate!

-[Mr Crawford] Wait a minute!


-[giggles]

-Welcome, everyone, to my presentation,

The Keys to Business Success.
That's me. I'm Keys!
Rule number one is A-B-C.
"Always Be Chipping." [giggles]

-[applause]

-Keys has a business class?


Yep. The neighborhood

uses this place to do everything!


Good ol' Community Center.

Always here when we--



Nobody is better than Crash ♪


-[Karma] Hey!

-Oh, Karma!


I know why you're here.

And, yes, you can have my autograph.


[scoffs] Don't nobody want your scribble,

Crash!

We reserved the stage this afternoon. See?
My name is right here.

Hmm, talk about scribble.

This looks like "Kamel" to me. [chuckles]


-[groans] It says Karma! K-A-R-M-A.

-I was here first!


-Karma!

-You never let me use the stage!


-Reserve it! [sniffs]

-[sniffs]


-[both] Ugh!

-[sniffing]

[all exclaim]
What is that stinky smell?!

-Huh. Not me.

-Uh-uh! Not me!

[sniffs] Nope, not me either!

-Let's get out of here!

-Come on!


-[all pant]

-I think we're safe.


-[sniffs] Ugh!

-Oh, no!

Rule number two… Huh? [sniffs]
For the love of pickle chips!

-[sniffs] Ugh!

-[sniffs] Oh!


-Ooh!

-Run for your lives!

[gags] Run, children! Save yourselves!
Mateo! You can't go back!

But I have to press…

[in slow-motion] save!

Ha! Oh!
Don't let it out! Shut that door!
[all pant]

-What was that?!

-It smelled like a stinky foot!

With rotten eggs on top.
That a skunk ate and then fart--

We get it, it was smelly!

But how are we gonna fix it?


-I can't fix it.

-Maybe it'll go away on its own.

Come on, people, we gotta do something!
[silence, coughing]
[sighs] We've gotta go back in there,

figure out what's causing the smell,

and get rid of it!

[cheering]

-Thanks for volunteering, Karma!

-Huh?


You'll have the place smelling

like a bed of roses in no time!


Me? Like, just me?

But we need more than one person to…


Um, sorry, Karm.

I wish I could help, but…

[gags] …that smell's just too much.
Uh, weak nostrils run in my family.

-Wait! Hold on. I never said--

-Rule number three…

Keys! You'll help me, right?

Ugh! No way!

You can use my Super Sucker, though.


-Now, where was I?

-[Karma groans]


-[Crash] I'll help.

-Huh? You will? Really?


-Of course. It's for the Center, right?

-Uh-huh.

Okay, here's the plan.

Start with places

that have high stink potential.

Trash cans, bathrooms.

Then we'll search lunch tables,

the storage bins--


[scoffs] Stop stressing, Karma.

I got this.

This baby'll suck all that stink right up.
Ugh! Crash, you have to follow the plan!

♪ Crash is a hero

He is a hero ♪


♪ Crash, not Karma, is a hero ♪

I made up a theme song.

[groans in frustration]
[takes a deep breath]
[Karma grunts]

-[grunts] Man…

-[machine beeps]

[groans]
[click, whirring]
[Crash yells]

-[both sniff]

-[Crash] Oh, no!

[both gasp]

Thanks a lot, Karma!

I told you your plan wouldn't work.

What?! You didn't follow my plan! [sighs]
But it doesn't even matter.

There are way too many places

to check in there

and not enough time before…
[gags] …the stink gets you.
Ugh! [sighs]
I need more people to help.

[scoffs] They all bounced

at the first whiff.

What makes you think they'll come back?

I've convinced the neighborhood

to do things before, so I'll do it again.

I didn't make that stink!

But you're in charge of running

the Center, Mr Crawford.


-Shouldn't you help to--

-♪ It's not a party ♪


♪ If I smell that funk ♪

[sighs]

Ugh, I'm not getting good WiFi here

at all!


Hey, watch what you're doing!

This is a chess class!

On the soccer field?

Well, now that the Center's funk-dafied,

where else are we gonna go?


Sabiya, don't you want

to get back in the Center?


Sure, but we didn't make that smell,

so there's no way we're cleaning it up.


Did you ask Chef Scott?

Sometimes he eats beans for breakfast.

[Chef Scott] Coming through!

You use the Center too.

Don't you want to help out?


Sorry, Karma,

but I ain't cleaning it up neither.

Eh, what about them, huh?

Isn't the Neighborhood Council

responsible for this kinda thing?


I am not in charge.

Ask the Council President!

Yeah!

Wait, aren't you

the Neighborhood Council President?

Oh, right.

-Whoa, watch it!

-[kids laugh]


[sighs] So, then who is responsible

for the Center?


Well, the rules have always been,

you make the mess, you clean it up.

So, whoever did it, clean it up!
[Winston] Yeah-ha-ha-ha!

-[crash]

-Ooh! Sorry.

Argh!

-Come on!

-[both grunt]

No! No!

-It's not my responsibility.

-It's someone else's responsibility!

[Mr Singal] Sorry, not mine either!

Oh, man. Without the Community Center,

things are a mess.


But no one else wants

to take responsibility.


No one wants to do the annoying thing,

the hard thing, the stinky thing.

Gave up on the others, huh?

Don't worry, I figured this thing out.

Whoa! Uh-oh.
Whoa! Get it off! Ah!

-[click]

-This invention's not gonna work, Crash.

But I know what will.
We have to remind everyone

that it's not one person's responsibility

to clean up the Community Center.

It's all of ours.
Mm…

[sighs] Okay.

Folks know we don't get along.

Mm-hmm. Can't argue with that.

So, if they see us working together,

they'll know it's important.


We're a community.

We gotta act like it. Right?

All right, everyone. We have to stick

to the plan and work together.


Or that stink's gonna ruin

the place we love!

And we can't have that, can we?!
[cheering]

Let's get in there, help each other

and find that stink!

[cheering]

Okay, here we go.

Okay now. Little to the left!

A little more!
Tommie to E, Megan to H!

-Here, stinky-stinky-stinky…

-Mmm?


-Not there either!

-Ah! Ha.

[sniffs]
Stinky. [sniffs]
Stinkier. [sniffs]
Stinkiest! Ugh!
[barks happily]
Huh. Can I get some help over here?

-Okay!

-Coming!

[all grunt]
[all gasp]
[barks happily]
[all exclaim in disgust]

-Major?! You made the smell?!

-[barks happily]


-[crowd] Major!

-[boy] That's why I'm a cat person.

Ugh! All this litter looks… familiar.
Pickle chips? Keys!
[laughs nervously]

Oop! There's our juice boxes.

Guess some of that litter is mine.


-That one's mine.

-[boy] I'm such a litterbug!

And yours, Karma?

[chuckles] I guess the cause

of the stink was… all of us?


-Oh, right.

-When you're right, you're right.

[barks happily]

-[all grunt]

-[thuds]

[all breathe deeply, exhale in relief]
[all cheering] Go Karma! Go Crash!
[barks happily]
[sniffs]

-Yuck!

-I gotta take a shower.


-Two showers.

-[Karma and Crash sniff]

Whew! Man, you need a hose down!

-Back at ya!
