01x17 - The Great Bangaboo

[bunniefuu]

This is me, eliza thornberry.

Part of your average family.

I got a dad, a mom,
and a sister.

There is donnie-- we found him.

And darwin?
He found us.

( Jabbering )

Oh, yeah, about our house--
it moves.

'Cause we travel
all over the world.

You see, my dad hosts
this nature show

And my mom sh**t it.

Okay, so we're not that average.

( Panting )

And between you and me

Something amazing happened...

And now I can talk to animals.

It's really cool

But totally secret.

And you know what?

Life's never been the same.

So, can we
check out the town

While you're getting
those visas?

Oh, but of course.

Who can resist
the charms of sambas--

Borneo's answer
to gay paree?

Or you can stay
in the ombi

And do your homework.

What is here?

Oh, there's a fabulous
spoon museum.

And let's see...

No... No...

Did I mention
the spoon museum?

Sandwiches are
in the fridge

And that new
metric system video.

Keep an eye
on donnie.

We'll be back
by dinner.

If you need
to reach us

You can call the embassy
on the shortwave.

But no ordering pizza
from new york.

Mom, we only did
that once.

In south africa!

( Giggling )

We're still paying
that delivery bill.

Come along.

Bye, loves!

Be good.

( Babbling )

( Gasps )

Come here,
you little monster!

Hey, darwin!

Ooh, you look
excited.

Found an animal
to chase?

No, this is a city.

There are kids.

( Kids giggling )

Hey!

There's a whole
pack of them.

They could be hunting.

They're kids, like me;
they're not wolves.

( Chattering to each other )

Hi, I'm eliza.

( Laughing )

( Whispering and giggling )

News flash:

Girl with monkey
spends life alone.

You are such
an oddball.

( Babbling )

Darwin:
eliza!

What's wrong?

Debbie said
I'm an oddball,
and she's right.

Oh, you are not.

I talk to animals.

Well, yes,
there's that.

It's not normal,
darwin.

It makes me different
from my sister

From those kids,
from everybody.

Eliza.

Come on,
you got to see this.

See what?

( Gong and chimes playing )

Eliza:
whoa!

"See the great bangaboo
talk to animals."

Whoa! Someone else
can do it, too.

Oh, this is great.

Hinga, pinga and...

Tim?

Ooh, tim's cute.

I got to check
this out.

Absolutely.

Both:
you watch donnie.

( Babbling )

There's a guy
in the sideshow

Who can talk
to animals.

And if you knock over
those milk bottles

You can win me
a doggie.

I have to meet bangaboo.

What's so great about
talking to animals?

You do it every day.

You just
don't get it.

( Babbling )

Five rupiah?

This is for the
great bangaboo,
right?

Oh, well,
we have a whole day
to enjoy ourselves.

( Gasps )

I think I smell
fried dough.

Darwin, I find someone else
who can talk to animals

And all you're
thinking about is food?

Excuse me, can I
ask you something?

( Woman responds
in local language )

Excuse me, um...

( Speaking
local language )

Uh...

( Grunts )

No one speaks
english around here.

( Sniffing )

Wait a sec...

That rat--
I can talk to him.

Oh, no!

( Sizzling )

( Darwin yelping )

( Blowing )

( Screams )

( Frightened panting )

( All grunting )

There he is.

( Crunching )

What a dump!

Shh.

( Crunching and snorting )

Hey, there.

( Screams )

A talking person!

It's okay--
I need your help.

Sorry, I'm busy.

But I just...

Get lost!

Our pleasure.

Oh, darwin.

I don't trust people, get it?

There's nothing in this world
that's going to change my mind.

I have some oatmeal cookies.

( Sniffing )

Now you're talking, pal!

The name's tak.

Give me the bag and let's see
what we can do for you.

First, I got to ask you
something.

( Grunting )

Come on.

I can't think
when I'm hungry.

I know what you mean.

There's a guy at the fair--
the great bangaboo.

Bangaboo, bangaboo...

Ah, sure!

I've been through his garbage
a bunch of times.

Guy's a real weirdo.

Throws out half a sausage
just because it's green.

Forget his garbage.

I want to get in to see him.

That might be arranged...
For some cookies!

Half now, half later.

You got a deal.

You're in.

Come on.

But bangaboo's the other way.

We're going
to need some help.

Hurry up!

( Festive music playing )

( Grunting )

( Crowd oohs and ahhs )

Oh.

Oh, man!

Hey...

Oh, this must go to a balcony.

Hut, hut, hut.

Whoa!

Whoa!

I'm debbie thornberry.

You must be tim.

Hinga.

( Debbie squeals )

( Groans )

Don't worry,
things will pick up.

Of course they will.

The people here
will soon tire

Of spending their money
on this bangaboo

And I'll be ready
for them... With this:

The drinkie drinkie bird,
a classic gift item.

Can I have this one?

I already
gave you three.

But this one's red.

( Growling ):
hands off.

These trinkets are
the key to a fortune.

They are?

Of course.

Step one:
the drinkie drinkie bird shop.

Step two: kip land--
the funtastic theme park

For the whole family.

( Slurping )

( Gasps )

( Babbling and giggling )

Look, the thornberrys'
pet boy.

Maybe he'll
buy something.

( Babbling and giggling )

You like the little birdie.

Hey, I got dibs
on the red one.

Play nice, biederman.

He just might make us
bigger than bangaboo.

Why do you want
to meet this guy?

I thought I was
the only one

Who can talk to animals,
but I'm not.

I finally have
someone I can talk to.

What about me?

Darwin, he's human.

Well, I guess
that makes him special.

Oh!

Eliza?

Rat?

( Flies buzzing )

( Grunts )

( Growling )

( Shrieks )

I'm darwin,
the friendly chimp.

Easy, bone.

It's okay,
I know him.

Monkey, this
is bone, our
security expert.

You two are friends?

Figures.

( Growling )

So, bone, you say bangaboo
teaches animals to read?

That's the talk
on the street.

Wow! Maybe he
could show me
how to do that.

Oh, come on,
let's go.

Not so fast.

We don't go anywhere
without sheeba.

She keeps her eye on things.

She's princess of the city.

Really?

Yeah, lives
in a palace.

Follow me.

Hey.

The red one!

No way.

( Gasps )

Forget the birds.

Make a new sign.

We have ourselves
a star attraction.

"Wild boy."

Kip:
now then, let's review.

You will win over
the audience

By virtue of
your playful antics

Like so...

"Me boy, watch me frolic.

Ugh... Ugh."

( Debbie screaming )

Hi, are you tim?

Pinga.

Oh.

Eliza:
this is the palace?

Rats come from
all over the city

To eat this garbage.

( Cat purring )

Oh, no.

The beast
has got her.

Don't sweat it.

I have an idea.

( Shop bell jingles )

( Whistling tune )

Hello.

Me tourist.

You give brochure
to tourist?

Uh-huh.

( Slurping )

( Meows )

Tak's
waiting outside.

Hey!

Oh!

Oops, got to go!

Slick move, girl!

Sheeba, this girl here
can talk to animals.

I noticed.

So, what's up?

I've got to see bangaboo.

Tak said you could help.

You said what?

( Stammering )

There's more to it.

Cookies are involved.

Hey, I'm not in the business
of helping out humans.

Let's go, guys.

You heard the lady.

Sorry.

Well, I guess you
and I should sit down

And eat
some fried dough.

Sheeba, nice picture
of you, don't you think?

You like it?

I didn't think it
caught my lustrous coat.

( Slurps )

Oh!

I totally disagree.

Oh, and you
look so smart.

Mmm, the camera
never lies.

I bet someone like you
would have no problem

Getting in to see bangaboo.

You know, guys,
helping out a girl

Might be fun
for a change of pace.

Let's do it.

( Growls softly )

( Babbling )

( Groaning )

I give up--
he's untrainable.

Biederman:
aw, come on.

That's what
you said about me.

( Babbling wildly )

( Wheezing )

That's it!

Chocolate--
the universal language.

Bone, you watch
the alley.

Tak, squeeze
under the gate and see

If the coast is clear.

( Groaning )

( Snoring )

Huh...!

We got a problem.

Five guys are guarding
the inside.

Five?

I could handle
two, maybe three

But five...

If bone
can't do it,
nobody can.

Tough luck,
girl.

( Gong, then applause )

Oh, no, the show
is starting!

( Grunting )

Oh, after all this.

( Grumbling )

( Yelps )

( Can crashes )

( Gasps )

Wait, everyone, I have an idea!

Bone, I got to put
this stuff on you.

( Squishing )

( Slurps )

Mmm, what's this about?

Can you run fast?

I may have three legs

But I can run faster
than a dog with six.

When I open the door

You growl
and run like crazy.

( Barking )

( Eliza screaming )

Oh, help me!

Mad dog, mad dog!

Bad, bad woof-woof!

( Giggling )

Oh, this is the craziest idea.

( Men shouting )

( Bone continues growling )

( Grunts )

Follow me!

Tak, these are for you.

Been a pleasure doing business.

You guys coming?

Nah, getting in's the fun part.

Catch you later.

Take it easy, kid.

Enjoy your bangaboo.

Darwin, you're coming,
aren't you?

All right.

Crowd ( chanting ):
bangaboo!

Bangaboo! Bangaboo!

Bangaboo!
Yay!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It's him!

He doesn't look
much like his picture.

So what?

He's bangaboo.

Darwin:
banga-big deal.

( Drum roll )

( Cymbal crash )

( Crowd gasps )

( Clears throat )

Hee... Haw!

"Hee-haw"?

( Click,
then machinery clanking )

( Crowd gasps )

( Donkey keeps pounding hoof
to total of eight )

( Applause )

It's just a trick.

Come on, eliza.

Let's go.

Go ahead.

I'm going to have
a talk with that guy.

Ooh! Where'd
you come from?

You know

What you are?

I'm an american,
like you.

Ed marlow from chicago.

( Chuckles )

Also known
as the great bangaboo.

A pleasure to meet you,
miss... What's your name?

Never mind
about that.

You're
one big fake!

You lied
to everybody.

You can't
do anything!

Oh, uh, well...

If you mean I can't
talk to animals

Well, gosh,
you're right.

I'm pretty bad at that

But I'm a fairly
decent entertainer

So I've been told.

That's all
it is-- an act.

Aw, sorry, kid.

I didn't mean
to disappoint you.

It's just a show.

You know, people can't
really talk to animals.

You going
to be all right?

I guess
debbie was right.

Let me guess, now.

Debbie is your
sister, right?

And she thinks
you're an oddball.

Yeah! How'd you know?

Well, your sister
is absolutely right.

What do you mean?

We're all oddballs,
every one of us.

Trust me.

I've traveled
the world and I know.

But speaking of
traveling the world

I got to catch
the next boat to pago pago.

Seems the vizier is
something of a fan.

But...

How was your talk
with bangaboo?

I'm... Not sure.

Oh, no!

Darwin, look.

It's donnie!

What?

Come on, darwin.

( Drum roll )

( Crowd gasping )

( Laughing )

Ooh! Look at the wild boy.

( Kip clicking
his tongue )

( Babbling wildly )

Oh, no.

Come on, donnie.

( Gasps )

Thornberry.

I'm afraid
the show's not over.

Eliza!

( Grunting )

Calm down.

Be quiet.

Eliza:
let go!

Be nice and...

( Chattering )

Darwin!

( Grunting and groaning )

( Growling )

( Barking )

( Chomps )

( Yelling )

( Yowling )

( Yelling )

( Laughing )

Hey, eliza, watch this.

( Yelling )

Go, tak.

Go, tak!

( Yelling, yowling and barking )

( Babbling as coins clink )

Yes, money.

( Yelling, barking, yowling )

( Screaming and shouting )

Ugh.

( Yelling and yowling )

( Bone barking )

You guys are incredible!

I can't believe you came back.

We strays
stick together.

So did that bangie-guy
tell you anything good?

Yeah, maybe he did.

He said everybody's different.

I could have told you that.

Look at me-- I got three legs.

I'm the fattest rat in the city.

I'm exceptionally beautiful.

And I talk to animals.

This is getting sickening.

I'm out of here.

See you, boys.

( Barks )

Girl, you come around
here again sometime.

I think you fit in just fine.

Darwin, I kind of gave you
a hard time.

How about a little fried dough?

I thought
you'd never ask.

Nigel:
there you are!

Got the visas.

Mission accomplished.

Eliza, I'm glad
you're all right.

I just saw a rat.

You have to be careful.

You know,
we're not in the wild.

These animals
are different.

I know.

Now, what do you say
we take in a show?

These acrobatic triplets seem
phenomenally entertaining.

Cool!

Let's find debbie.

Nigel:
oh, if you think she'd
enjoy this sort of thing.

( Debbie yelling )

Nigel, are you seeing
what I'm seeing?

Debbie:
daddy!

Yes.

It seems
our daughter's
developed a hobby.

Debbie:
pinga!

Tim:
no... Tim!

Debbie:
yes!
