The Shell Game

Uhh! Ooh! Uhh! Uhh! Ahh! You're gonna break it.
I think I know my own recliner.
Sometimes it just sticks.
Got to give it a little uhh! Got to give it a little aah! But sometimes it knows you're gonna do that, so you've got to surprise it with a little hah! Hah! Hyah! Hah! Hyah! Hah! Wah! That's good.
Uh, maybe it's time to buy a new recliner.
Buy a new recliner? Easy for you to say, Moneybags Bunny.
But unlike you, I wasn't born with a silver carrot in my mouth.
Well, then get it fixed.
Why? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Ooh! It is broke.
It's an expression, Bugs.
Lord, you're ignorant.
My point is, I'm perfectly content with it like this.
Well, I'm not.
It takes up half the room this way.
And I'm not watching TV upside down.
You're so prickly.
Everything has to be just so with you.
It's like you can't adapt.
Ohh! My eyes! The sudden change in lighting.
I can't adapt to it.
Why is it so hard for you to admit that you lost, Porky? I didn't lose.
In golf, the lowest score wins.
That doesn't make any sense.
Everyone knows that in sports, the highest score wins.
You got a 75.
I got a 308.
I dominated you.
He put the TV back.
What in the name of Randall McClintock is this? Ooh, a new recliner.
What do you think? Are you responsible for this? Well, your old one was broken.
This one's brand new.
It's leather.
No, absolutely not.
Take it back.
Why? I think it's nice.
Oh, now I definitely don't want it.
Porky has the worst taste of anyone I know.
You think I have bad taste? Look in the mirror, man.
What's with those shoes? They're crazy.
They have little spikes on the bottom.
Who does that? They're golf shoes.
Well, what's with the one glove? Who do you think you are, Michael Jackson? I met Michael Jackson, and you are no Michael Jackson.
It's a golf glove.
When did you meet Michael Jackson? I met him at the Denver airport.
But that's not the point.
The point is, I want my old recliner back.
It's too late.
I donated it to a thrift store.
Porky, I'm gonna need a moment alone with my roommate.
Not my friend, my roommate.
Oh, uh, ok.
That was a garbage move.
Getting you a brand new recliner was a garbage move? That recliner meant everything to me.
- Why? - Why? It was my sole possession.
What are you talking about? You got a bedroom full of stuff.
Yes, but all of that is either rented, found in a dumpster, or I'm borrowing it from Porky.
That recliner I bought with my own money.
It was the summer after graduation.
I was working at that-a-burger.
It was miserable.
standing over those grease traps, slinging 80% beef patties.
I used to fantasize about sitting down with my feet up, just relaxing.
Then one day on my walk home from yet another nightmare shift, I looked up and there it was in the storefront window.
I knew if I could just sit in it once, I would sit in it for the rest of my life.
But they said I had to buy it.
It took me all summer to make enough money, but once I did, I quit that job, bought that recliner, and I've been sitting in it ever since.
Until today.
Wow.
I had no idea.
I feel terrible.
Come on.
Where are we going? To get your recliner back.
Uh, guys? Hello? I can't believe someone already bought my recliner.
Neither can I.
Now what am I gonna do? Where am I gonna sit? In the new recliner I got you.
It's very comfortable.
Give it a try.
Maybe you'll like it.
Think of it as a new beginning, a fresh start.
When one door closes, another one opens.
That's what makes life interesting.
You never know what's gonna happen next.
Ooh! Bet you didn't know that was gonna happen.
Are you ok? You hit me.
Buges Buney? Cecil? Here, let me help you up.
I'm so sorry.
Are you hurt? No, I think I'm ok.
Just a little startled, maybe.
- Uh-oh.
- What? Did you always have a crack in your shell? Oh, no, my shell is cracked.
Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
I have insurance.
Oh, no, I don't want you to have to go through all that trouble.
Let's handle this like gentlemen.
I have a shell guy I go to.
He's very reasonable.
Well, whatever the cost.
Whatever it is, I'll be happy to pay for it.
Here's my number.
I'll be in touch.
Ohh.
Uhh.
Uhh.
Uhh.
What are you doing? I think you've done enough damage for one day.
Being behind the wheel of a car is a tremendous responsibility, Bugs.
It requires concentration and focus.
That's how you avoid accidents.
So, what do you think? What kind of leather is this? I don't know.
Leather.
Is it Corinthian or cordovan? Or is it even leather at all? I mean, it feels like Naugahyde.
It's leather.
It makes a weird sound when I move like this.
Well, then stop moving like that.
I don't think I like it.
Daffy, you're the only person in the world that wouldn't like this recliner.
Ugh.
Where did you get this hideous recliner? See? Told you.
It's going back.
What? It's just one opinion.
Uh, one professional opinion.
You're not a professional.
Uh, no, but I watch "Design Divas" every week, so I think I know what I'm talking about.
What is "Design Divas"? It's the design show where diva decorators change other divas' lives one piece of furniture at a time.
Hello! We have a season pass to it.
How have you never seen it? Ugh.
Always with the reading, this guy.
What happened to your old recliner? Brainiac over there thought he was doing me a favor by throwing it away and giving me this this Naugahyde nightmare.
It's beyond horrible.
It's nice.
Bugs, you're good in a lot of areas, but home decor is not one of them.
You just don't see things the way we do.
That's an understatement.
Hello? Buges, it's Cecil.
Oh, hi.
How are you? - The turtle.
- Yeah, right.
The one you hit with your car this morning.
No, yeah, I know exactly who this is.
Ok, well, I just dropped my shell off with my shell guy and the crack is worse than we thought.
Oh, no.
What does that mean? It means he's gonna need $2,000.
$2,000 to fix your shell? Oh, no, the 2,000 is just to go in and see what the problem is.
He has to determine if it's a surface crack or a sub-stratum crack.
If it's a sub-stratum crack, that could end up costing as much as 35.
But fingers crossed it's a surface crack.
So you want to drop that check off? I'd come by and get it, but I probably shouldn't leave the house.
You know, turtle without a shell.
Highly vulnerable.
Oh, of course.
What's your address? Can I have your credit card? My credit card? Oh, actually, I'd prefer a check.
No, I'm sorry, I wasn't talking to you.
Why do you need my credit card? We're exchanging the recliner.
Hello? Oh, uh, sorry.
Can you say that again? We are exchanging the recliner.
Not you.
No, I'm sorry, I wasn't talking to you.
Here.
Sorry.
One more time, Cecil.
Sorry.
Where'd you buy it? Home warehouse.
No.
Helms way.
Why would I live at home warehouse? It's not important.
I'll stop by with the check.
Can you help us carry the recliner to the car? It's real heavy.
Great day of the morning.
This place is huge.
We've been walking around for an hour and just got out of the kitchen section.
Where are we now? Hmm.
I don't know.
It's either textiles and rugs or storage solutions.
A scarf basket? Who needs a scarf basket? Ooh! Look over here! You found the recliners? No, it's a complete closet organizing system.
See, everything is divided into little baskets.
Baskets.
Genius.
All of your T-shirts go in here, socks and underwear here.
This is for your sweaters.
What about my scarves? Look, scarf baskets.
Ohh, my mornings would go so much quicker if my closet looked like this.
Hmph.
Tell me about it.
You know, about 7 years ago, I quit wearing clothes because my closet was so disorganized.
I just gave up.
Oh.
Em.
Gee.
You found the recliners? More like patio furniture and outdoor dining! Ooh! Wait for me! Oh, Mr.
Buney.
Forgive my appearance.
Let me go and get a robe.
I just wanted to give you your check.
Oh, that's so nice of you.
$2,000.
Yep.
This should get the ball rolling.
How are you feeling? Oh, you know, not good.
I'm really sorry.
Is there anything else I can do for you? Well, I suppose I could use some groceries.
Oh.
I mean, I'd go and get them myself, but a turtle without a shell Right.
Highly vulnerable.
Here's a list.
You, uh, had that ready to go, huh? I'd really appreciate it.
Ok.
I'll be right back.
Were you just laughing? What? No.
It sounded like the evil laugh of a cartoon villain.
Oh, don't be silly.
I mean, do I look like a cartoon villain? Who are you looking at? Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
I'm on with my shell guy.
So you're saying it can't be repaired? You're gonna have to make a brand new custom shell? I don't even want to ask how much that's gonna cost.
Of course, I'll hold.
He's pricing it out for me.
Looks like it's gonna be a little more than we hoped.
Hmm.
What a shocker.
Where would you like me to put all this caviar I bought? Fridge is fine.
Oh, good, you remembered the bubbly.
Oh, yes, hi.
Did you come up with a figure? Oh, boy.
Oh, brother.
Oh, brother.
Oh, boy.
He says you're looking at $53,000.
Let me talk to him.
Oh, uh, uh, you can't.
Why not? Because he, um, doesn't speak English.
You were just talking to him in English.
Oh, well, he can understand it, he just can't speak it.
Give me that phone.
Bonjour to you, too.
He hung up.
So about that $53,000.
You know what, unfortunately, my checkbook's at home.
Well, you know where to find me.
Just clearing my throat.
A little parched.
Gonna go ahead and open that bubbly.
Oh, that's nice.
Oh, hello, mommy.
That is good for the circulation.
I am really feeling that circulation.
Let's see what else she does.
Oh, that's good.
That's a nice feeling right there.
Ooh! Maybe that's a little too much of that feeling.
Whoops! Probably needed that.
Little little help here.
Daffy! Daffy! Cool bed.
Ooh, that is quite a ride, my friend.
Where were you? Looking for recliners.
And I had to use the bathroom.
You went over there? Mm-hmm.
Very European.
No doors.
No judgment.
Um, how do I say this? I think those are display toilets.
What do you say we keep looking for those recliners? Away from this area.
Let's find out a little more about Cecil the turtle.
Hmm.
Here we go.
A news article.
"Turtle Hit By Motorist.
" This is from 6 years ago.
"Cecil the Turtle was struck in a crosswalk.
"Driver claimed he came out of nowhere.
Awarded $40,000 in damages.
" Here's another one.
"Turtle out for stroll struck by minivan.
" There's tons of these.
You miserable little Bugs! Oh, no.
What have I done? What have I done? Calm down.
Calm down.
What happened? - I almost killed someone.
- What? I hit a pedestrian with my car.
I never even saw him.
Poor thing.
It's like he came out of nowhere.
Came out of nowhere, huh? And I cracked his shell.
He's so vulnerable now.
I gave him $10,000, but that's just for the initial estimate.
It'll probably be more.
He's waiting to hear back from his shell guy.
Ohh, I hope he's ok.
Why don't we go check on him? I can't believe I got kicked out for using the toilet.
Last time I got kicked out of a place, it was for not using one.
Figure it out, America.
On the bright side, I got the closet organizing system.
I guess I just have to get used to life without a recliner.
Oh, Mr.
Pig.
I wasn't expecting to see you.
I just heard back from my shell guy.
I'm afraid it's gonna cost more than we'd hoped.
Oh! Mr.
Buney, what are you doing here? I'm shutting down your little shell game.
Well, look at that.
Your shell looks as good as new.
Oh, well, uh, my shell guy just fixed it.
So you wear a fake cracked shell to scam people out of their money.
Not anymore.
Come on, Porky.
We're going to the police.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Drop the shell.
Hands up.
Both of you.
Now kick it over to me.
Where'd you get that recliner? This old thing? I picked it up at the thrift store.
That was where I spotted you.
You were the perfect mark.
I got to hand it to you, Cecil.
You're a criminal mastermind.
Why, thank you very much.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you come up with this scheme? Well, it's a long story, but since I'm gonna shoot you anyway, what's the harm? Mind if we sit down? Why not? I mean, we're all gentlemen.
I was living in Atlantic City, working at that-a-burger.
I didn't have two dimes to rub together.
But I had big dreams.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but wouldn't you be more comfortable reclined? What? Oh! I just thought it was a chair.
I didn't know it was a recline aah! Hold on to this.
Uh-oh.
Looks like you cracked your shell.
Ohh.
There are things in life that are amazing like stargazing, Sunday lazing and carrot quiche but nothing can compare to a certain top-notch hare I'll admit inside my heart he's found a niche That's a French word meaning "special place.
" Maestro! Look at him, there he goes he's wonderful and everyone knows he's wonderful, wonderful wonderful, wonderful wonderful, wonderful Bugs he likes his coffee finely ground when he snores, it doesn't make a sound he respects his elders, he's a certified welder and he's got good humor by the pound he dates my lovely daughter Lola she thinks he's sweet as cherry cola he's honest to a fault, his brain's a golden vault he's the yogurt to her granola here he comes, man of the hour look at him walk, such grace and power he's wonderful, wonderful wonderful, wonderful wonderful, wonderful Bugs I know he's just a bunny and all but one day I hope he's my son-in-law He's handsome and considerate articulate and literate loquacious and vivacious his garage is very spacious he's wonderful, wonderful Bugs Mwah! I know what the surprise is.
You went back to home warehouse and got me that leather recliner again.
You were right.
It was great.
It was way better than my old recliner.
That thing was a piece of junk.
I don't know why I was holding on to it.
I'm glad it's out of my life.
If I never see my old recliner again, it'll be too soon.
So thank you.
Thank you, my friend.
I am so excited to sit in that leather recliner.
Oh.
You miserable little
