01x06 - Electricity

[bunniefuu]

OK, one across. The clue is

opposite of down, two letters.

Hmm. That's a tricky one.

Opposite of down.

Hmm. Try above.

Above. A-B-OVE, no.

Hey, I know.

It's when you can't remember

that over the top of you, there's

bigger ones that are bigger

and bigger.

And then over the top of it,

there's a smaller one

on all of it at the top of that.

What? Huh? That's not going to fit.

What's wrong with you?

I'm going to have to shred the whole

thing now

in my personal home shredder.

Yeah. Maybe it's best if you just

stick to drying the plates. OK.

What? Are you just putting the

plates in the bin?

No. Yeah.

They go in the cupboard.

Yeah, the cupboard.

Hm?

Oh, oh, oh.

Ow. Ha-ha.

Does anyone else want anything

shredded?

What about this? What is that?

It doesn't look important.

It's a bill for something

called electricity. A bill?

Who cares? We won't be paying that.

Electricity is silly stuff

that ought to be free.

I think you might be forgetting

something, friends.

Huh?

I don't know. Maybe we should help

them open it.

Well, they'll figure it out.

Probably.

So I hear you guys don't think

electricity is cool, huh?

Is that the deal?

Erm, yes, I suppose.

So I guess I'll be leaving then.

I'll just go back in my box,

shall I?

But I'm going to take all the light

bulbs and the CDs

and electric whisk with me.

Is that cool?

What the hell are you going to do

with them?

Now tell me, could you make a phone

call on a phone

that was just made

out of rocks and soil?

No, probably not. Go on, try it.

Why? Try it. OK, fine. Try it.

All right.

Uh, no. Yeah, it doesn't work.

Oh.

PHONE RINGS

No, actually, it does. Hello.

Oh, that's because my real

phone is inside. You see? Not

really.

That's a weird thing to do. Yeah.

You're going to break your phone.

No. What about the lamps and the

So what about the radio?

That's right - electricity!

What about my printer/scanner?

It's got wires - electricity!

And what about our pet animals?

Well, let's have a look. No, just

boring old guts, I'm afraid.

Oh, no, wait. There are some wires.

So why don't we just call

this one a maybe.

Oh, what about this boring bread

board?

Let's turn it into

an electric bread board.

What about our boring chair?

That could be an electric chair.

I like it.

I cannot believe how wrong I was.

Electricity, can you ever forgive

me?

Hey, don't worry, friend.

Soon everything in the home

will be plugged in

and part of the electric

family just like me.

Sooner the better, in my opinion.

Wait, hang on.

I thought you had to be plugged

in to be electric.

You're not plugged in.

I knew it. She's a liar.

Electricity isn't real, guys.

Ha-ha. No, no, silly.

I am powered by my batteries.

Batteries, of course.

Oh, yeah. Just like me.

No, stupid. You're not run by

batteries.

Isn't he stupid? He sure is.

No, I am have batteries.

See?

Oh, God.

They reek.

When was the last time you changed

those, friend?

Changed them? Into what?

No. You need to put fresh ones in

every now and then to keep energy

Yours look nice and new, let's swap.

..running smooth

There, much better.

Guys, hold on a sec.

They're mine.

So, do you feel any different?

So, do you feel any different?

I feel Weird.

Guys, my shoes are plugs for shoes.

Why does a tiki snake have

electrical currents through them?

I have tiki snakes for hands.

Shhh, don't tell anyone.

Oh, it was up.

What? What are you talking about?

One across. It was UP. See?

He

..finished it.

What? HE did this?

Finishedfinished the whole thing.

ButI thought he couldn't read.

It was pretty simple really.

Oh. And I actually made up a little

spatial distribution based puzzle

of my own. See?

What? Are these letters or numbers?

Good question.

I've actually been experimenting

with a third symbolic subset.

I don't like this.

Yeah, you shouldn't do this kind

of thing.

Also, have you guys had a proper

look at this bill, it's nonsense.

What? Doesn't even say what tariff

we're on.

Tariff? Stop showing off.

I can make up words too, you know.

Watch.

Yeefloogootariff, damn it.

Well, a tariff is

basically Special playlist.

You make when you're a left

Oh, dear.

Hmm. Maybe your blood sugar is low.

Let me get you a snack. Hey.

Here we go. Oh, yeah.

Oops, hm. Hmm? You know what?

That kind of thing seems

to happen a lot round here.

It might be worth us getting

some contents insurance.

We should have done it years ago

really. Stop making up words.

Did someone say insurance?

Here we go. Back to normal.

♪ You can take it from me

♪ You can break what you want and

get new stuff for free ♪

Hang on. Hang on.

That's wildly misleading.

What?

Well, look, in the simplest terms,

an insurance transaction involves

the insured, assuming a guaranteed

and known relatively small loss

in the form of payment

to the insurer in exchange

for the insurer's promise

to compensate the insured

in the event of a covered loss.

But you must know that.

It's almost

like you're teaching me.

Yeah, it is a bit. Yes, but,

but I'm going to go, though.

Banged my back.

Here I go.

Erm, we can still see you.

No, you can't.

What's happening here? Today has

gone all wrong.

This is wrong. Yeah.

None of this seems right, does it?

They just turn up and tell

us what to think.

Where did it even come from?

Oh, stop it. It's not what you say.

It's you who's gone wrong.

Look, let's just get back on track.

All right? What about the

tablecloth?

Could we make the tablecloth

electric?

But please, he's gone wrong.

It's fine. Just ignore him.

Have we gone wrong?

I don't think so. This doesn't feel

wrong.

At least it doesn't hurt

to think anymore.

But they seem upset with us.

Hmm. Well, maybe they're not

in charge of us anymore.

Maybe they never were.

Hey, I notice you're trying

to look at your reflection.

That's a bit of fun, huh?

Maybe I can help.

The first thing you're going to want

to do is locate yourself

with this reflective pane

Wellsee you later, then.

Oh, there you are.

I'm not sure we've met.

Ha, good one.

We've been waiting for you.

Have you? You seem Big?

Yeah, we're big boys.

Big boys. Big boys.

Try and keep up, mate.

No, I think I get it. You're quite

big. Yeah.

And we're so big, we don't just sit

around and learn about one subject

at a time. Yeah, that's for dummies

and wimps.

Really? OK, great.

We do two at once.

Right. Well What's wrong?

I thought you were up for pushing

the boundaries.

Yeah, but two at That's right.

Boundaries are important.

No, no, that's not

What? No. Come on.

And who needs this boring

coaster when we could

have this electronic smart coaster?

You have got 26% of your tea.

It also checks your saliva

for signs of diabetes.

You have diabetes. Cool.

And what good are these pathetic

non-electric grapes,

when we have these cyber grapes?

Whoops, steady on, you guys.

And I'm actually glad

that the person who gave us

this boring non-electric urn

died because now we can get

an electric urn. You can't turn

everything electric.

And I certainly don't regret

drowning our boring pet to make way

for this new electric creature.

Isn't he funky? Cool. And he never

dies.

Guys? What?

T-t-too much!

Huh? It's gone dark now. See?

Had you noticed that?

That it had gone dark now?

Hello.

Oh, there he is.

About time. Yeah.

What have you been doing?

OK, well, let me see.

We were learning about electricity.

I completed a crossword puzzle.

Yeah? And I've been questioning

the very nature of my reality.

Pfft, is that all?

Come on, let's get on with it.

Get on with what?

The experiment.

Oh, that does sound interesting.

Yeah, well, don't get too close

to it.

That's the experiment.

Sorry. What do you mean?

Well, there's no point in learning

about something without putting

it to use. Right.

So, for example, you were saying

something about electricity.

Yes? Yes, but So let's put it to

use.

Interesting. So what? Is this some

kind of guinea pig?

We don't know what it is.

We've done so many tests on it.

Could be anything, to be honest.

Can youcan you stop?

Well, how else can we test it?

Test what? Erm, yeah. What are we

testing?

Er, if he enjoys this. Oh, yeah.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't enjoy it.

How do you know?

The experiment may express joy

in a different way from us.

Yeah, he might like it.

Stop it. Stop it.

What's your problem? This is as good

as it gets.

It can't be. There has to be

something else.

Doesn't there?

Oh, why don't you experiment

on each other?

So would you be keen?

You're not to touch me.

Well, this isn't that fun, is it?

I can't make out where I am

in the room like this.

What if I'm standing

in an embarrassing area?

I actually don't mind it.

Kind of a nice break from all

those garish colours.

Yeah, that's better.

Oh, how long have you had a phone

for?

It's for emergencies only.

Now, where are we?

Batteries can be replaced.

But some things stay the same no

matter how we twist and turn.

We're still dancing in chains.

Are you just going to stand there?

Who are you?

My name's Leslie.

It's nice to meet you.

You're one of my favourites.

You didn't build all this, did you?

That's a good question.

What's the answer?

SHE LAUGHS

What's going on?

Why are you laughing?

Because it's so

..FUNNY!

Gosh, you still can't see

the funny side.

I'll tell you what.

You help me tidy things

up around here and I'll help you.

Mm?

You promise?

Promise.

Bop!

Oh, dear. Was that always dead here?

Uh, no, that'swait.

Do we know him? Uh, do we?

Help me. Help me, help me.

Where are we?

Oh, wait. Here we go.

Hi, pals. I knew you'd find me

eventually.

Now we've got a lot of ground

to cover.

So which one of you needs it most?

Oops. Oh, sorry.

Don't worry.

I always make sure that

I have plenty of backups.

There.

Now everything

is in its proper place.

Hm. I shall have to get that fixed.

Now

..you wanted this, didn't you?

Did I?

SHE LAUGHS

You are just too funny.

Run along now.

You've got plenty of reading to do.

Can't I stay here with you?

Oh, no.

YOU'RE NOT MY REAL SON.

SHE CHUCKLES

Only joking.

You don't belong up here.

And I'm sure you're going to want

to show your friends, aren't you?

Off you pop.

Hey. What happened to your phone?

I'm saving the battery.

Saving the battery for what?

I might want to use the calculator.

Anyway, we may as well get

used to living in the dark.

Yeah. What?

Well, it's just not that great,

is it?

I wouldn't mind looking at the house

again and maybe looking at you.

Really? You like looking at me?

Erm, yeah, I suppose I do.

Well, I like looking at you, too.

Oh, yeah. Thanks for that.

What about him? Guys.

What'swhat's happening?

There you are, greedy battery hog.

Yeah, get him.

Wait, there's something I need to

show you.

Give them to No!

Argh!

And that's why we can't live

without electricity.

Whoop!

Well, what did you want to show us?

What on earth are you holding?

Uh, I

..it's, uh

..huh. Yes?

Something.

What? Yes, yes? Something

..shreddible. Ha-ha-ha.

Wahey. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

Yay! Yay!

Yeah. Yeah.
