-Presley, is this crooked?
Presley?

Presley!

-Sorry, I'm listening
to my favorite podcast.

The host, Gary, says there
are creatures called saccoons

living under our city.

And they're coming
after our cheeseburgers.

-Sounds like some guy's
just making stuff up.

-If it isn't true,
then how is Gary saying it?

-Coming up,

are saccoons listening
to you through your toilet?

The answer is: maybe.

-I knew it!

-We're here.
I'm holding a cake.

-Hey, Lex.
-Hey, cake.

-This is my cousin, Ruby,
who I've told you all about.

She's on break
from science boarding school.

This is Presley,
that is Munchy,

and now we're all best friends.
Yay.

-Look, we decorated
to welcome you.

-What does "welco" mean?

-It means we ran out of paint.

-Thanks for the warm welco.

-Can we please
focus on the cake?

-Yes.

I made it four layers
to represent the four of us

coming together
to have a great weekend.

-I love when you express
yourself with cake.

-I don't know if they have
cake where you're from,

but around here, it tastes
like a cupcake but bigger.

-I heard something about cake.

-Oh, hi.

I'm Ruby's cousin, Lex.

I mean, I'm Lex's cousin, Ruby.

Will you say something
so I know I'm not dreaming?

-Lex is here?

-Why are you looking
at my cousin like that?

-Shh.
Don't ruin the moment.

-Sorry about my brother,
Fisher.

He's got a thing for Lex.

-Really?
That's so...cute.

-Munchy, you want a piece
of cake?

-So anyone can hire you
for jobs from this app?

-That's right,
and we need the money

after destroying
Munchy's dad's boat.

-You sank a boat?

-No, ironically, we b*rned it.
Life is funny.

-I can't believe Fisher built
this whole app himself.

He has so much genius
in such a small body.

-Okay, I have got big plans
for us.

I call this our big cousin
little cousin day of funsin!

I even got us all hats.

Big Cuz,

Little Cuz,

and Just Cuz.

Now we are all set

for Allatoona Springs three-day
festival of spa treatments:

Spa-lapalooza.

-I heard DJ Footbath
is headlining this year.

-Hi, Fisher.

I was just looking
at your amazing app.

-Has anyone seen
my soldering iron?

I got some serious soldering
to do.

-You're so hot,
you don't need the iron.

-I'll keep looking.

-He likes me.

So Fisher isn't coming with us
to Spa-lapalooza?

-No, he's not really
a spa kinda guy.

He's more of a "sit in his
room and experiment on fungus"

kind of guy.

-Interesting.

Will you excuse me?
I'm going to call my mom.

-Wanna hear something funny?

I hid Fisher's soldering iron
in the fridge.

-I am ready for Spa-lapalooza!

We gotta hurry.

I took this robe and slippers
from my brother, Jaget.

He is not gonna be happy
when he gets out of the shower.

-Okay, let's hit the spa.

[cell phones dinging]

-We got a KidDING.

-Finally, we have a payment
to Tedward coming up.

-I know, but Ruby's only
in town for a few days.

I'm turning down the job.

-Wow, that's a lot of money.

-And it says
all we'd have to do

is find an antique
zebra striped toothbrush.

That's easy.

-But what about
Spa-lapalooza with Ruby?

-We need to take this job.

We haven't had one since the
zoo hired us to paint pigeons

to look like bald eagles.

-Don't worry about me.

I'll just hang out here and
maybe see what Fisher's doing.

-Sounds like it's settled.
We're taking the job.

-Come on, Presley, we can--
-Don't make me do it.

-We can find extra jobs--
-You know I'll do it.

-Okay, what's happening?

-When one of them squeezes
a bottle of mustard

into their mouth, the sacrifice
is considered so severe,

the other must do what
the mustard eater demands.

It's not a perfect system,
but it works.

-We need to pay Tedward back
for exploding his boat.

-I know you're upset, but
let's not eat anything crazy.

-I'm gonna do it.
-Don't squeeze that mustard.

-I'm gonna do it.
-Don't squeeze that mustard.

-I'm gonna do it.
-Don't squeeze that mustard!

Don't squeeze that mu--
-I'm gonna do it.

-You monster!

-You left me no choi--

You left me no choice.

But now we have to do this job.

This taste is not going away!

-I have to respect
the mustard.

Sorry, Ruby.

-For real, big cuz,
it's cool.

-It's in my nose!

-You know what?
It's just finding a toothbrush.

How long could it take?

This is gonna take a while.

-♪ I got, you got me ♪

♪ We got this ♪

♪ I like the odds
when we're side-by-side ♪

-So the address where
the KidDing sent us was...

the dump.

-I feel like you're pretending
to ask a question,

but really,
you're just being judgy.

-Presley, look around.
We are in an ocean of trash.

-Still coming off judgy.

You know, I've always wondered
where our trash went.

Not enough to visit,
but I've always wondered.

-How are we supposed to find

an antique zebra striped
toothbrush at the dump?

-With the proper tools,
of course.

I got pokers,
and I got grabbers.

You look like a grabber.

-Why do you have a locker
at the dump?

-Oh, I used to keep my stuff
in the cooler,

but you know, rats.

-How often do you come here?
-Oh, not that much.

-Hey, Munchy.
-Hey, Briles.

That's Briles.

-How do you know
the trash guy?

-Jaget threw out my stuffed
panda when I turned .

I've been coming here to search
for him ever since.

-Sorry about your panda, but
we've got a toothbrush to find.

Ruby's at home waiting for us
to go to Spa-lapalooza.

-I don't know.

Seems like she might be more
interested in Fisher-palooza.

-It's not gonna take that long
to find that old toothbrush.

You just need to look in
the antique toiletry section.

-Pretend I don't spend every
waking moment at the dump.

-Right.

Just head down towards
the rusty lawnmowers,

hold your breath
past diaper mountain,

and if you see half a possum,
you're almost there.

If you run into
the other half of the possum,

you've gone too far.

-All right, stay close, Lex,

and if you see a cheeseburger,
back up

because a saccoon
could be coming for it.

-First,
saccoons don't exist.

Second, if I see a cheeseburger
in a dump,

I'm not going anywhere near it.

-Good luck, girls.

-Wait, you're not coming
with us to find the toothbrush?

-No way.

If I'm at the dump,
I'm on a panda hunt.

Well, the search continues.

[upbeat music]

-I just love watching you
do science.

-I'm folding my socks.

Are you just gonna
sit over there and stare at me?

-No.

I'm going to sit over here
and stare at you.

-We're back!

-Finally.

Whoa, what's that smell?

-I was just at the dump.

You like that, don't you?

-Let me go.

-But the good news is,
we found the toothbrush!

-Whoo!

-You actually found

an antique
zebra striped toothbrush?

-Yeah, that dump was
surprisingly well organized.

-Now we're just waiting
for drop off instructions

so we can get paid.

-In the meantime,
Spa-lapalooza!

-Whoo!
-Whoo!

Let me find my Little Cuz hat,
and we'll head out.

-[sighs]
That girl is a nightmare.

She just stares at me,
no matter how clear I make it

that I'm not interested.

-Annoying, isn't it?

-Okay, big cuz, let's go.

[cell phones dinging]

-Another KidDING?

It's at the dump again.

-From the same person
for even more money this time.

-We have to turn it down.

-Last time we were late
with Tedward's payment,

Jaget made us watch him
do sit-ups.

It took hours.

-I know, but I can't leave
my favorite cousin again.

She has to go back to
science boarding school soon.

-No, Lex.
You should take the job.

-But, Ruby, I promised you
a day of cousin fun.

-Okay, you've left me
no choice.

-No way!

Lex, you got mustarded
twice in one day!

-I had to do it.

I can't be the reason why
you don't pay off your debt.

-You are so sweet.

I'll be back as soon as I can,
okay?

-Ugh, I can taste it
in my nose!

-You might want to squirt
in some ketchup

to even things out.

Come on, Lex.
Let's go.

-So what do you like
to do for fun?

-Work in my lab. Alone.

-That does sound fun.

Right behind you!

♪ ♪

-Okay, all we have to do

is use the toothbrush we found

to clean something called
a GLG- .

-GLG- .

GLG- .

Oh, no!

This has to be a mistake.

-Ms. Stake?
Why is it always Ms. Stake?

-Presley, Presley...
-Why is it never Mr. Stake?

Or a man stake, you know?

-Presley.
-What?

-Look in here.

-Great, we found
the gross part of the dump.

-GLG- trash compactor.

-Uh, whoa, we have to clean
the inside of that with this?

It's gotta be a Mr. Stake.

-Well, that's what
the KidDING says.

-Jeez!
-Oh!

Something about this
seems fishy.

-It's probably this!

-Okay, yes,

but I meant fishy like
why would somebody hire us

to do two pointless jobs
at the dump?

-Oh, so now you
don't wanna do this?

You're the one who drank
mustard to get us here.

-That's when I thought
this would be easy

and stank-free.

-Well, it's stanky,
and we're here,

so get in the box,
mustard breath.

-Ugh!

[sighs]
This doesn't make sense.

Someone has to be doing this
to us on purpose.

-Who would send us KidDINGs

just to ruin my weekend
with Ruby?

-Ruby...

Ruby.

Ruby.

Ruby.

That's it!
Ruby's behind all this.

-Oh, please.

You know who you sound like
right now?

You sound like that guy

on the podcast
talking about saccoons.

-He has a name,
and it's Gary!

And unlike you,
he can see the truth.

-Okay.
I'll play your little game.

Why would Ruby
do something like that?

-Maybe so she could be alone
with Fisher.

She's obviously obsessed,

and while we're here,
where's she?

-With Fisher.
-Exactly!

-They're probably
doing science

like she does
at science boarding school.

-Okay, let's talk about
science boarding school.

What is that?

-It's where really smart kids
learn science

after the court orders them
to go there.

-Quick question: Why would the
court order Ruby to go there?

-Well, like a lot of kids,

she used her knowledge
of science for mischief,

But in her defense,

she didn't know trains
still used that bridge.

-If the court doesn't
trust her, then why should we?

-Now you sound judgy.

Why would she send us
on these jobs?

She knows we're gonna come
right back.

-Unless she made it
so we can't come back.

The door's locked.

-Is this a push/pull thing?
-No.

No!

-[gasps]

The trash compactor's
compacting!

I don't wanna be
a trash cube!

-What do we do?

-Scream?
-Scream.

[both screaming]

[both screaming]

-Before this trash compactor
turns us into trash cubes,

I have a confession.

From kindergarten through
second grade,

I thought your name
was Bresley.

-A lot of people did.

I had trouble pronouncing my Ps

until all my grown-up teeth
came in.

-Aw, I remember that.
You were adorable.

-Thanks.
Now focus!

Your cousin Ruby tricked us.

We can't let her get away
with it!

-You don't know it was Ruby.
-Can we argue about this

when we're not gonna
be crushed by a wall?

-Let's put both of our backs
into it.

Oh, no.

-Our backs aren't enough.
Let's try our fronts.

[gasps]

That didn't work.
Find something.

Ow.
-Aah!

Oh, use that shower curtain rod
to stop the walls from moving!

-Got it.

-Oh, no!
It's retractable!

-It can fit any sized shower!

Why would anyone throw
this out?

[knocking]

-Hello?
Is someone in there?

-Munchy!
-We're in here!

-You guys are in
a trash compactor without me?

No fair.

-We're about to get crushed!

-And the door's locked!

-[grunts]
It's locked out here too.

You know, I'm glad
I'm not in there,

but it would've been nice
to be invited.

-Munchy,
we're in real trouble!

-Well, I have good news.
-You can get us out of here?

-Better.
I found my panda.

-Are there any controls
out there to stop this thing?

-Uh...

Oh, just a box filled
with some gears turning.

-That's gotta be
controlling the wall.

Can you jam that?
-Yeah, jam the gears!

-Okay, I just gotta find
something to toss in there.

Something roughly
the size of my panda,

roughly the shape of my panda,

something I could throw.

Kinda like my panda.

both: Use your panda!

-But we were just reunited!

-Munchy,
what's more important?

Us or your panda?

-I'm sorry.

We'll always have
Fort Lauderdale.

-Munchy, you did it!

The wall stopped!

-Get us out of here,

and we will give you
the coolest shower rod

you've ever seen!

-Munchman, what are you
doing in here?

-Sacrificing my panda
for the love of friendship.

-You did that for me?

-No, for my friends
inside the compactor.

-What?

[beeps]

[both gasp]

-We're alive!
-We're not cubes!

-What were you two doing
in my trash compactor?

-We were hired to clean
the inside.

-Well, that's crazy.

'Cause I was hired to slam
the door shut and lock it.

Which is even more crazy
'cause I already work here.

-Who hired you?

-Pfft, I didn't get a name,

just a--just an email.

-Something tells me
Ruby's behind this.

-Here we go.
Why do you think that?

-The email address is

NotRuby@FisherIsMine.com.

-See?
It says "not Ruby."

-It was Ruby.
-I know.

I can't believe my cousin
would try to cube us

just to get alone time
with Fisher.

-Oh, oh, oh.

She only hired me
to shut the door and lock it.

I turned on the compactor
on my own.

Taking initiative.

That's how
I got to where I am today.

-We need to teach
Ruby a lesson.

-Yes, we trap her
in the compactor!

-Yeah!
