Smormu!

If you want Smormu
to be the fifth Smiling Friend,

text "Smormu" to 555-0100.

And if you don't, text,

"No, I really, really,
really don't want Smormu"

to 555-0100.

Ah!
What a beautiful morning.

Ready for another
exciting day, Glep?

Ugh.
"F" yes!

Good morning,
Charlie.

Would you like a peanut?
No, I'm all good, man.

Uh, my grandma actually
passed on from eating a peanut,

so I don't really mess
with that kind of stuff.

Oh, my. That's awful.
I'm sorry.

No, it's all good.
You didn't know.

Pim,
what are you eating?

Oh, just a bowl
of peanuts.

Those aren't peanuts.

That's my bowl of worms
from my compost.

Oh. Oh, I could've sworn
they were peanuts.

Give me that.

Pim, you really need
to get glasses, man.
You just ate worms.

No, no, I will.
I will get them eventually.

I've just been too busy
to go to the optometrist.

You've been saying that
for like seven months, man.

[ Telephone rings ]

Hello? Uh-huh. Yep.
[ Ominous music plays ]

Okay. Okay, sure.

Boys, I just got a call
from a young man

who sounded
absolutely distressed.

Can you head over and help him
before he goes

cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo?

Sure. Yeah,
we'll gladly help.

You're energetic today,
Mr. Boss.

Yep. Probably 'cause I ate up
some of them worms earlier.

[ Dog barking ]

Shrimp: It is open.

Um, Smiling Friends.
Are you the guy that called?

Yes, I called.

It is I -- Shrimp.
That is my name.

Hey, Shrimp.
What's going on, man?

Sigh. My girlfriend
just broke up with me.

I am heartbroken.

Oh. Well, sorry
to hear that, Shrimp.

Shrimpina meant everything
to me.

I only realize now she is gone
I never fully appreciated her.

Aw!
Look, man,
don't get too b*at up about it.

It happens all the time.

We'll help you find
a new girl.

Well, I do not want
a new girl.

I just want
Shrimpina back.

Yeah, Charlie,
he can win her back.

I just think he needs to
tell her how he feels.

Pim, sometimes it just
doesn't work out, okay?

She obviously dumped him
for a reason.

[ Trumpet fanfare,
rat screeching ]

Hooray! I just reached
level 987413 in Mouse Quest.

What if we set them up
on a blind date

to get them
back together?

If you think that's gonna work,
go for it, all right?

But I'm gonna stay back here
and help Shrimp's life

get back on track.
I'm sure
it's gonna work.

Shrimp, where can
I find Shrimpina?

She works at
153 Meep Boulevard.

Are you really
gonna do this?

That's the difference
between you and me, Charlie.

I believe in destiny!

Shrimp, you don't need to get
back with your ex, all right?

You need to get
your life in order.

Only then...
[ Coughs ]

Excuse me.
Heavens.

...uh, will women
be attracted to you.

Let's start by getting
some sunlight in here.

Aah!
Okay. Oh, sorry.

Okay,
we'll start small.

All right.
153 Meep Boulevard.

This is the place.

[ Bell rings ]

[ Gasps ]

Number 15.
Could I get the number 15?

Sure thing, hon.

Oh, my God.
That's Shrimpina?

Um, h-hi. Hi there.
How's it going?

What can I get for ya?

Uh, actually, I-I just wanted
to give you these.

They're not from me.
They're -- They're from
your secret admirer.

Secret admirer? Oh, my.
This is all so sudden.

I was just in the process
of moving on.

This particular person
just wanted you to know

that he really cares
about you.

[ Chuckles ]
I like your hair.

Oh, this old thing?

Uh, yeah, it's actually
just an exposed nerve ending.

But thanks.
Uh, anyways...

I like it.

Reminds me of a little piece
of spaghetti or something.

Oh, you like spaghetti?

I love spaghetti.

Especially the spaghetti
they make at Spaghetti Disco.

It's ever so delectable.

Oh, well, uh,
funny you say.

Your secret admirer
wants to

take you to dinner there
tonight.

Really? Gosh, that all
sounds so...romantic.

Oh, great. S-So you'll be there
at Spaghetti Disco at 7:00?

Sure. I'll go.

After all,
I do believe in destiny.

Oh! Oh, my gosh.
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, it's fine.

I think I just had a bad batch
of worms earlier.

Um, well, all right.
Uh, goodbye.

[ Bell rings,
door closes ]

All right, now that
we've got you out of the house,

the next thing is dressing
like an actual adult.

All right, first off,
just number one,

ditch the mouse shirt, dude.
Just get rid of it.

♪♪

Shrimp: I do hope that Shrimpina
likes my cool new attire.

Look, I told you, man,
you need to get over her, okay?

There's plenty more fish
in the sea.

How do I look,
Yellow Man?

Y-You look like you're about
to tell your friend

not to come to school tomorrow,
man.

Uh, but that's nothing
a tan can't fix.

[ Steam hisses ]

Wow,
look at that.

Um, you've got that
iconic shrimp glow

that everyone's
talking about.

Mmm! Cooked shrimp.
Mmm!

Dude, you just let that guy
take a bite out of you.

Why didn't you
fight back?

I am too scared
of confrontation. Ah!

You know what?

I think I finally know
what your main problem is.

The single best thing you could
do to get your life in order

and be attractive to chicks
is to get in shape

and become an alpha male
like me.

Okay, Shrimp, uh,
the easiest thing to start with

is probably this
100-pound squat.

[ Grunts ]

Yeah, no, w-what you need to do
is get your posture right.

Y-You need to
straighten your back

and be aware of
your foot placement,

'cause your feet
are all wrong.

Oh, yeah. Thanks, man.
Center of gravity
should be on your heels.

Yeah, like, for sure.
Yeah. I mean,

'cause what you're doing,
the way you're doing that,

you're gonna pull something
if you keep doing it that way.

Okay, thank you. We got it.
We got it.

Um, I also --
We got it, man.

Don't listen to him.
He's just showing off.

All right, now do it the way
I told you to do it.

Okay.

[ Grunts ] Aah!

Okay.

Spaghetti Disco, 7:00,
wine and music -- perfect.

After this date, I'm sure
Shrimpina will realize

who she's meant to be with...

meant to be with.

Ah!

[ Cellphone vibrating ]

Hey, Pim,
how's the date thing going?

Well, actually...

she said
she wasn't interested.

There's not
gonna be a date.

Oh, well,
at least you tried.

Anyways, you want to
come help me with Shrimp?

No, it's all right. You can
finish the job without me.

[ Cellphone beeps ]

What did
the pink man say?

When do I get to see
my Shrimpina again?

Look, I hate to be the one
that breaks this to you, Shrimp,

but, um, I don't think she wants
to see you again, man.

Oh. I am going to
be alone forever.

Why don't we go out for a drink,
man? It's on me.

Aah!

Oh, God.
I don't know if this is right.

I've got to get out of here.

Oh, it's you.

Is my secret admirer
here yet?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah.

Uh, look, before I
get into any of that,

I just wanted to tell you,
when I first came to your work,

it was for
a different reason.

But when I saw you,
I felt something

I've never experienced
before.

And I know
this sounds crazy,

but...

Oh, my God. Charlie and Shrimp
are here?

g*dd*mn, Shrimp.
You're just, like --

you're just, like
[bleep] man.

[ Gulps ] Ahh!

And I ain't even trying to be
offensive or nothing like that,

but I don't know how you had
a girlfriend in the first place.

That is why
I do not even bother.

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying,
you're just, like --

you're just, like,
really, really [bleep]

I-I genuinely feel bad.
It's not even your fault, man.

You're just a shrimp.
You was born like that.

You was born like that.
You was born a shrimp.

You can't even --
It's your nature.

So, what did you
want to tell me?

[ Sobbing ]

Uh, never mind.
Uh, come with me.

Your secret admirer
is actually over here.

Pim,
what are you doing here?

Here he is. Shrimp was your
secret admirer the whole time.

This date was actually his idea.
He really cares about you,

and he'd love to give
the relationship another chance.

What?

Shrimp.

Who is that?

Your ex-boyfriend --
Shrimp.

Wait, y-you're
Shrimpina, right?

My name is Jennifer.

I have never met this woman
in my entire life.

Pim, who is this?
Where did you meet this woman?

I went where Shrimp
told me to go,

the cafe
on 153 Meep Boulevard.

Pim, there's no cafe
at 153.

There's a cafe
at 158.

You went to
the wrong place.

W-Well, wait a second.

What about that thing you said
at the cafe

about, like, moving on
or something?

Yeah, my boyfriend Jason d*ed
in a motorcycle accident

a few months ago.

Jesus Christ, man.
Pim. Pim.

Ohh!

Where is Shrimpina?
I have no idea.

Probably at home.
I don't know.

Pim, did you even see Shrimpina
one time, once?

Charlie, I -- I don't know.
I guess not.

So, uh,
do you like Mouse Quest?

Wait, are you serious?

You're telling me
you're a 4'6" shrimp

with a receding hairline
who loves Mouse Quest?

You're...

literally everything
I've ever dreamed about.

Pim, her name
was Shrimpina.

She'd be a shrimp.
I did think that
for a moment.

I just thought it was,
like, a quirky --

like you didn't expect she was
going to be a human thing.

Pim, this is so much worse
than the worm stuff earlier.

You really need to get
your eyes checked, dude.

No, I know, I know. I'm gonna
do it first thing tomorrow.

No, that was bad. I'm just
as shocked as you are, Charlie.

Don't worry, Pim.
I can cheer you up.
