02x14 - To Paris With Zoe

[bunniefuu]

Russell: You're gonna hit the door!

( all groan )

Blythe, that must be some book.

Yeah, 'cause it's given you some bump.

( laughs )

Actually, it is a great book.

Famished Fest.

( gasps ): Didn't they make that into a movie?

Yes, and it opens tonight.

Youngmee, Jasper, and I are going to go see it.

So we have to finish reading it today.

Too bad school will interrupt your reading.

Well, lucky for me, today is a half day.

The teachers have to stay and do a bunch of teacher stuff,

so we get to go home.

Cool, huh?

Uh, the teachers stay after school,

and the students get to go home?

Just when I think I have things figured out.

Well, I should have plenty of time today

to finish my book before the movie.

( sighs ): Finally,

I'll find out if Annabelle can quash the rebellion

and free Fergus in time to save their sector.

See ya!

Hi, Mrs. T. Bye, Mrs. T.

BLYTHE: Dorp!

( groaning ): Come on.

Goodbye, Blythe.

And hello, pets!

We've got a new camper today.

Everyone, this is

Captain Cuddles.

His owner tells me he's a European polecat.

Tres chic!

( giggles )

( French accent): 'Allo.

As zee pretty lady said, my name is Captain Cuddles.

So nice to meet you all.

Right back at 'cha. Charmed.

Hiya! How are you today?

I'm Vinnie! Hi!

( toy squeaking )

( squeaks )

( sighs )

Ah! Itch! Itch!

Itch, itch, itch, itch, itch! Itch monster!

( exclaiming and groaning )

AUNT CHRISTIE: No, Milton, I'm sure you told me

it would be delivered on the th.

Today is the rd.

What? It's the th?

sh**t! Ah, uh, okay, let me find that address.

I'll call you back.

Oh, now where did I put that note?

Aw, Buttercream,

look at you.

Ah, ha! There's that address!

Buttercream, I don't know what I'd do without you.

( Vinnie singing nonsense )

Oh, whoops! Sorry, buddy!

Ew.

What in the world is the matter with you, Pepper?

You acted so silly toward Captain Cuddles.

( scoffs ): Well, that's what I am, right? Silly?

Look, I don't think Captain Cuddles is cute.

A-a-a-and I don't like him in any way.

Got it?

Uh, as Blythe would say,

"What the huh?"

Pepper, did you know that skunks are sometimes called polecats?

Hey, Captain Cuddles!

Russell! Why are you calling him over here?

Oui?

( yells )

( yelps )

Prickly! Prickly! Ow! Ow!

Pain. Ow. Hurts.

( yells )

I was just telling Pepper that sometimes skunks are called

polecats, and you're a European polecat.

Ah, yes, but alas,

skunks and polecats are not related by species.

I am more of a,

how do you say,

weasel.

( laughs )

You called yourself a weasel.

Yes,

you are a skunk.

I find you very, how shall I say?

Skunky.

( romantic music playing )

♪ In your eyes The blue skies ♪

♪ Are calling your name And-- ♪

Weasel!

Ow!

What was that about?

Isn't it obvious, darling?

Pepper is in major like

with Captain Cuddles.

( giggles )

Hidy-hepper, skunky Pepper!

Buttercream, I came in here to be alone.

Then I guess this isn't the place for you.

I came in here because I'm feeling downsie and bluish

and frownsie, not fluish. What?

What?

( sighs )

Anyhoo...

Aunt Christie's busy as a bee, and I've got a hankering

for some quing-quang-quality human time.

Well, you're in luck.

Blythe's coming home from school early today.

I'm sure she'll hang with you.

Really?

Sounds like my bluesies will be pinksies.

So what about you, Pepper-mo-bebber?

Why are you in the hydrant hide-out?

I just don't want to see Captain Cuddles anymore

for the rest of the day.

Or the rest of my life!

What's a Captain Cuddles?

Just the dreamiest, most handsomest

European polecat that's ever come into the day camp.

( giggles )

Wow-po-pow!

Sounds like you should be spending the day with him.

PEPPER: I wonder what that would be like...

( upbeat theme playing )

Ah!

( coughs and splutters )

( laughs )

( laughing ): Your face!

Well, that was a weird fantasy.

Yeah? Well, who asked ya?

Why don't you mind your own P's and Q's!

PEPPER: That goes the same for your beeswax!

Time for me to skeedaddle.

See you later, grumpy grumpster.

I wouldn't go in there if I were you.

And also and besides,

I wouldn't go in there if I weren't you.

I know just the thing to shake Pepper out of her skunk funk.

A makeover!

Really? I don't know.

Oh, come on, you two. It'll be fun.

Meet me in the grooming area in minutes.

I sure hope she knows what she's doing.

Hi

and finish my book before the movie tonight.

Well, you better make it quick.

Something's wrong with Pepper.

She's in the fire hydrant.

Oh, no. Is Pepper sick?

She's got butterflies in her tummy

and her head's all swirly on account of the cuddly captain.

Um, Buttercream,

what are you doing?

Pepper said you'd hang out with me today,

to turn my frownsie upside downsie.

Uh, what about Aunt Christie?

Aw, she knows I'm over here.

Oh, pleasey-pleasey- cousin-Wheezey,

spend the day with me.

Well, okay.

But first I've got to check on Pepper.

Not to worry, Blythe. On it!

I do have to finish my book.

Uh...

( sighs ): Okay, Buttercream,

we can hang out for a little while.

Alrighty excitey!

pages to go and hours until movie time...

Hope I can do it.

Nope.

ZOE: Psst!

ZOE: Psst!

Huh?

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Mm-mm.

What is it, Zoe?

Russell, I want you to know that soon

you are going to see a new and very girlie Pepper.

Really?

Yes, and what I need you to do

is to take Captain Cuddles aside and let him know

in a very subtle and roundabout way,

that Pepper likes him.

( laughs ): Okay.

And I cannot stress this enough,

it's important that you handle this discreetly

and that you break this information to him gently.

Now, can you do that?

( grunts )

Of course I can do that!

Ha!

No.

Oh, uh, hey Captain?

Oui?

Pepper likes you.

Thank you for zis information.

No problemo.

( groans )

This is just what this bunny needed.

( giggles )

Some quality human time.

( sighs )

( phone rings )

Excuse me, Buttercream.

Hello?

Oh, hey Youngmee.

Okay, I know you want to talk about the book

before we go see the movie, but I haven't finished it yet.

So don't.

Really? That happened?

No! Don't tell me!

I'm hanging up now.

I'll see you later tonight.

I have got to finish my book.

BUTTERCREAM: Blythe?

Sorry.

I love grooming time.

PEPPER: I hate grooming time!

ZOE: This isn't a grooming, Pepper.

It's a makeover.

PEPPER: Well, whatever you call it, I don't like it.

Just hold still, while I put the finishing touches

on your lashes.

And...

voila!

Wow. Ooh.

Oh, Pepper. He-he-he!

Are you ready to see

the new you, Pepper?

PEPPER: Sure, I guess so.

Check you out!

Oh,

here, Zoe, you handed me a picture of a pretty skunk

instead of a mirror. That's no pretty skunk, Pepper!

It's you!

Well...

it is me.

How do you feel?

Well, I feel the same.

But are you sure all this makeup and junk

will make the Captain like me? Absolutely.

Okay,

let me go punch him in the arm and see what happens.

( all ): No!

There are a few things we need to go over with you

before you're ready for the captain.

( snoring )

Ya! Ah!

Itch! Itch! Itch, itch, itch, itch, itch!

Itch monster!

( groaning )

Can't get to it!

Can't get to it!

( grunting )

( sighs in relief )

( beep )

One sec, Buttercream.

That's my computer.

Hi, Jasper.

I'll probably never get this old itch monster.

( groaning )

Now, Pepper,

to discuss how to achieve maximum cuteness

at all times, Penny Ling.

Well, Pepper, the main thing

you have to remember is to always make

Captain Cuddles feel like he's the center of your attention.

And you don't think an arm punch tells him that?

Ah! No! No!

The way to achieve this is to,

you might want to write this down,

Never,

I mean, always act like everything he says is funny.

"Everything... he says..."

Wait.

Everything he says?

Yes. Every joke he tells

is the most hilarious one you've ever heard.

Well, pfft!

I doubt that's gonna be the case.

Oh, well you don't really have to believe it.

Then why would I laugh?

Because he'll like it.

I'm not gonna laugh at something that's not funny.

That's not important.

'Cause I know what's funny,

and I can't laugh at what's not funny.

Why not? I do it all the time.

I'm a comedian!

( laughs )

You can't tell me to laugh at what isn't funny.

It's like telling a scientist not to be sciency,

or telling flowers not to smell.

Though I don't know how they can smell anyways,

since they don't have noses. This could take a while.

It's like telling a handyman to be unhandy,

or telling a sheep not to be sheepish...

So Blythe, you finished the book, right?

Can you believe--

Stop!

I haven't finished it yet.

What? But the big--

Blop! And then the--

Morp! I had no idea that--

Bobbiddy-bip-borp!

Real mature, Blythe.

Bye, Jasper. See you later!

Yeah, but--!

( panting ): I've so got to finish my book.

BUTTERCREAM: Bibbiddy-Blythe!

( yodels )

Monsieurs,

I wonder if you could help me with something?

Of course. What's on your mind?

Well, I am wondering

why do I find this Pepper so...

how do you say it...

attractive?

I have no idea. That is a good question.

Pepper?

Well, you must admit that there is something about her.

I can't admit that. I don't see it.

Pepper?

I would tell her, but I don't really know how.

Oh, forget I brought it up.

Forgotten. It is done, my friend.

Pepper?

Okay, Pepper, Minka has

about how to keep Captain Cuddles interested.

So here it is. What I want you to do, Pepper,

is just keep the conversation moving along.

Oh, uh, "Keep the conversation..."

Don't write that down! I want you to keep

all this locked up in that newly beautified,

not so little head of yours.

So when you and the Captain are together,

you want to keep things lively.

And if there's a dull spot, fill it in with a...

Whoo-hoo! Or a zippity-zinga!

Yeah, whoo-hoo! Zippity-zinga!

But be careful not to work up a sweat and smear your makeup.

Oh, no, of course not.

And don't forget to add a little giggle here and there

while remaining very ladylike.

Oh, yeah, giggle, very ladylike.

MINKA: Remain focused, but pretty!

Focused... Pretty...

PENNY LING: The center of your attention.

( all talking at once )

Okay, Pepper. Are you ready to go find

the Captain and let him meet the all new Pepper?

Zippity-pretty-lady-powder.

Captain Cuddles. Laugh at everything.

Zippity-zinga!

( laughs insanely )

I think this is going to work out just fine.

Well, Buttercream, we played four games of butterscotch,

watched three of your favorite Animal Network shows,

and had lots and lots of grooming time.

It's been oodles of ages since Aunt Christie

did that kind of stuff with me.

Speaking of Aunt Christie, we'd better get you home.

I'm sure she's missing you. I'm not.

What's that?

Oh, well, I was just thinkity-thinking,

I want you to be my owner!

Who-to-the-what-now?

Uh, it's just my...

lazy bunny.

Buttercream, please, can I just carry you?

Sureoodles! Carry me back to your place.

Buttercream, you have to go home.

Aunt Christie would miss you so much

if you stopped being her pet bunny.

That's what you say, say-you-er.

She probably hasn't even noticed that this hare's not there.

What with all her ringers and dingers and smartypants phones.

( phone rings )

Oops. That's my smartypants phone.

Hello?

Oh, really? Hold on,

let me put you on speaker phone.

Now, what were you saying, Aunt Christie?

Blythe, if Buttercream's done playing with her friends

in the pet shop, could you bring her home?

Sure, but she wasn't with the pets today.

She said, uh, I mean, I got the feeling

she needed a little human time.

Really?

But I just played with her.

Oh, two days ago...

Oh, sh**t.

Well, I'm going to cancel the rest of my day

and engage in a little quality bunny time.

Good to know. We'll be right there.

AUNT CHRISTIE: There you are.

I missed you, Buttercream.

Uh oh, the itch monster's back.

I've got this one.

( sighs )

You slayed the itch monster.

Thanks so much for spending time with Buttercream today, Blythe.

No problem. We had a lot of fun.

Didn't we?

Oh, and have fun at the movie tonight.

Wasn't the book great?

I cannot believe Annabelle used

Woalaboo to free Fergus and save her sector.

You did finish the book, didn't you?

Uh-uh.

( laughs nervously )

Cupcake?

Well? There he is, Pepper.

I can see! Don't push!

Don't push!

You can do it. Just remember, laugh at his jokes.

No lulls! Look pretty.

( all ): And no arm punches!

Okay.

( takes a deep breath ): Okay.

( delicate voice ): Ahem.

Wow...

Look at...

Pepper?

Hello, Captain Cuddles.

Uh...

Allo, uh, Pepper.

( giggles )

What is so funny?

You are. You're very funny.

( giggles )

( laughs harder )

Oh, uh... Ahem.

What have you been doing all day, Captain Cuddles?

I'm sure something very, very interesting.

( giggles )

Uh...

Well, um, let me see.

I-- Whoo-hoo!

( groans then giggles )

Oh, well,

do you know any funny jokes?

I love zee good jokes.

You do?

I mean...

I don't...

know any... funny jokes.

Oh, I see.

But do you like my flower?

It is not a joke with zee water in the face, no?

No, it's not.

Zippy-zinga!

I must go.

Well, how do you like that?

All my hard work, right out the window.

I'm sorry, Pepper.

You did good with the lulls.

Thanks for all your help.

But I think, maybe I just gotta figure out

how to be my own girlie-girl.

BLYTHE: The girls told me you were over here.

Hi, Blythe. Did you finish your book?

Someone finished it for me.

Huh? Never mind.

What's been going on with you?

Aw, the girls tried to help me be girlie.

That didn't work.

Well, how come?

I don't know. I guess I'm just not girlie.

( chuckles ): Sure you are.

Yeah, but not in the ways they wanted me to be.

Then be girlie in the way that you want to be.

There's no one way to be girlie.

Really?

Well, I do like this flower.

And this eye shadow is a good color for me.

And I do like giggling with the Captain.

And I bet he likes giggling with you.

Tell you what, you girlie yourself up

any way you want.

Then go and reintroduce yourself to Captain Cuddles.

I'll do it!

Hiya, Captain Cuddles.

Um, let me reintroduce myself.

I'm Pepper.

Don't worry, I won't punch you in the arm.

Oh.

Zat flower, it, uh,

it brings out your eyes.

I like it.

Yeah? Me too.

So Pepper,

know any good jokes?

Do I?

Have you heard the one about the skunk and the European polecat?

Why, no. How does it end?

Well, I'd tell ya,

but I'm afraid to give away the punch line!

( both laugh )

See what I did there?

PENNY LING: She remembered to laugh.

No lulls.

And she went with the flower,

and a little shadow.

I'm so proud.

Looks like she found a way to be her own girlie-girl.

Pepper?
