01x12 - Side Effects

[bunniefuu]

Getting paid to smash stuff,
Ha ha.

You gotta love this job.

Loo--uh--

Get out of our home.

Yeah...

Well, I hate to
break it to you, Pal,

but this building's
condemned by order of
councilwoman Liang.

Yeah, so move it, or lose it.

This place is coming down,

like it or not.

Ah!

Aah!

Aah!

Uh, get these things off of me!

Well, if you think we're
bugging you now...

Oh, they'll never catch me.

There he is!

You sure?

Totally.

Look out!

Banzai! Coming through.

Hey!

Huh?

Some people just can't hang on
to their money.

No way.

Well, I did just nab
a bad guy.

Now we're talkin'.

Look, I'm telling
you--that--that motorcycle,

it was driving itself.

Where's Ben?

Long chase, hot day,

I'm thinking--

Uh.

You ok?

Ah-choo!

I'll, uh, take that as a no.

Well, .

Sorry, Ben, it's official.

You have a summer cold.

Maybe from now on you'll

think twice before having snack

time inside an ice cream truck.

Uh--uh--

Hey! That's my new blouse.

Ah-choo!

Maybe from now on you'll think

twice about leaving your new

clothes just lying around.

Cold tablets, decongestant,

cough suppressant,
hospital mask.

Uh, I don't need all
that junk.

They're not for you, dweeb.

They're for me.
Once a bug like that gets out,

There's no stopping it.

Why don't you just lock me

away in some closet somewhere

until I'm better?

oh! Can we can grandpa?
Pretty please?

All ben needs is a dose of

my famous song ju yen pien

cold remedy.

Let's go, chinatown's just down

the block.

You know, it's so hard to

find fresh potikadon root
anymore.

It's all freeze-dried nowadays.

Can I get a milkshake or
something?

Uh, my throat is k*lling me.

Don't worry.
The stinkweed honey in the

song ju yen pien coats your

entire esophageal area.

Uh.

And that's a good thing?

So, where exactly did you

learn how to make this stuff,
Grandpa?

I picked it up from a monk in

Guangdong, China.

They have plumbing in china,
too, you know.

Ladies and gentlemen.

I want to thank all of you for

Your support of my downtown

Redevelopment program.

It's truly a dream come true.

Better make that a nightmare,
Councilwoman.

Wasps!

You're not tearing down our

apartment building.

We won't let you.

You're the nut job who
wouldn't leave.

Nice to know we've made
an impression.

What are you doing?

Just bringing you home
for dinner.

You're the main course.

This looks like a job for--

Ah, ah, ah--

Has Ben gone rabid or what?

Ben's cold must be effecting

Wildmutt's sense of smell.

With his schnoz clogged,

he can't tell where he's going.

Ok, fur ball.

I'm driving.

Oh!

Go left!

No, your other left!

Oh!

Uh!

Help!

Thanks, Grandpa.

Just hope you don't mind

smelling like chicken dumplings.

Ouch.
Oh, man.

Just when I thought it couldn't

get any worse.

Here, this will help.

Uh, yuck!

Don't worry, it smells worse

than it tastes.

Or is that the other way around?

It's not just you
I'm worried about.

Seems like your bug has spread

to all your aliens as well.

No telling how it'll effect
them.

Uh, uh.

That was so grim.

Don't worry, after or so

doses, you'll start to get used
to it.

Uh, I don't know what's

worse, the cold or the cure.

Got it.

Bug guy said something about

knocking down his
apartment building.

Well, the only apartment

downtown left for demolition is

at chester street.

what grandpa doesn't know

won't hurt me.

please, don't hurt me.

Black widows.

You shouldn't make
any sudden moves.

Our grandfather built
this building.

We grew up here.

Just me and my little friends.

They are the only ones who

understand, and no one
is evicting us.

Nice place to visit, but I

Wouldn't want to live here.

Let's all stay together.

They've gotta be here somewhere.

Something tells me we're

getting close.

Where's Ben?

Aah! Mega bug!

Ha ha, real funny.

I thought so.

Help!

That came from right
above us.

I'm on it.

it's your hives.

The cold must've turned them

into pus-filled pockets of--

pure putridness.

I can't help it, I'm sick.

You're tellin' me.

Stop.

Black widows.

There's gotta be some way

to help her.

Uh--

Ah-choo!

Oops.

Uh, thanks.

Don't mention it.

You are trespassing.

Uh!

We will rule mankind.

Grandpa, look out!

Huh!

Termites!

Aah!

You want to be king?

Get ready to be crowned.

Aah!

Ants in my pants!

Ow!

Ow!

Uh!

Yah!

You're destroying our home!

No!

The whole place
is coming down!

We have to get out of here.

No time.

Uh, it's a good thing I can't

feel my head.

No, no, no!

You will all be sorry.

We will exterminate
the entire city.

This has been
a really weird day.

Welcome to our world.

Uh, at least my hives
are gone.

Where'd that
smelly -armed guy go?

I wanted to thank him.

I'll let him know.

Can you find your
way back home?

So, where do you think
bug brain crawled off to?

Only one way to exterminate
a whole city.

Oh, turn on the heat,

Grandpa, it's freezing in here.

It's already on, Ben,

But you're shaking like
an earthquake.

Gwen, get him another dose of my

Song ju yen pien.

No, no, no--I mean, I just

finished it off.

All gone.

I'm sure it's gonna start

working any minute now.

Wow, listen to this.

Ants can lift times their own

body weight, grasshoppers can

leap times their length,

and cockroaches can hold their

breath for over an hour.

Uh, we don't need their

resumes, we need to know how

to squash them.

Duh, I'm saying insects are

pretty tough little suckers.

Short of another ice age or a

tanker full of pesticide, looks

like holding a bug barbecue

is our best option.

And I know just the chef.

What's happening?

Is that bad?

No. I'm sure anytime
an alarm goes

off inside a nuclear plant it's

good news.

Core temperature rising.

Approaching critical.

He must be fooling around

with the reactor's controls.

Let's go.

Core temperature critical.

Meltdown imminent.

All the controls are smashed.

We'll have to shut it down
manually.

How do we do that?

just outside the reactor core

there's an emergency override
system.

Let me guess, you learned

about nuclear reactors from

a monk in China.

Came for a front row seat?

This place goes nuclear,

you're gonna wind up blowing

along with the rest of us.

We don't think so.

When the reactor goes

supercritical, we'll be snug

as bugs in a rug.

Of course!

Scientists think cockroaches are

the only things that would
survive the blast.

So, the guy's gonna wear a

bug suit to protect himself from

the meltdown?

Wait.

Something's weird about you.

Uh, we don't have time for

you to dis me.

You guys shut down the reactor.

I'll take care of bugsy.

Uh!

You can't escape us.

That's it.

Time to turn up the heat blast

around here.

Ah-choo!

Hey, what happened?

You should be a bunch of

briquettes by now.

My cold!

It froze my flames.

Uh-oh.

Remember the old expression,

mean as a hornet?

Meltdown in minutes.

Uh!

Oh, man, maybe we could talk

about this.

Whoa! Hey.

Core temperature critical.

Meltdown in minute.

Uh!

Grandpa, I can't hold these

bugs off much longer.

Meltdown in seconds.

Did somebody call for a hero?

I don't get it.

Since when are you an a*t*matic

ice cube maker?

I guess for some aliens

getting a cold isn't just an
expression.

I can't override, all the

manual controls have overheated.

Ben, look out!

Core meltdown in ...

Stand clear,
I've got an idea.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Core temperature falling.

Returning to below critical
limits.

All right!

Way to go, Ben.

Thanks, heh heh.

Now, can we please get some hot

chocolate or something?

Bad guy's on ice, the reactor's

chillin', and I think--ahh,

that steam knocked out the last

Of my cold.

Don't you just love it when

everything works out?

Sorry, Mr. Roach.

This is going to hurt you a lot

more than it's going to hurt me.

Ugh.

Aah!

Company, lots of company!

We didn't appreciate that

cold shoulder you gave us in the

power plant.

Hah!

I thought you turned Mr. Bug

into a snow cone.

He must've thawed out.

Oh, man.

We're on our own, any ideas how

to get rid of them?

Uh, not unless you've got

a -foot candy bar
to tempt them with.

Nope, but I have the next

best thing.

Come and get it!

What's happening?

Fetch!

Heh heh heh.

Oh!

Good. That guy was
really starting to
bug me.

I'm calling the police,

I'll be right back.

Ah--ah--ah-choo!

Oh, no.

Hey, what do you know.

Everything really did work out
after all.

Ah-choo!
