The Good Surprise; Night Mare on Eep Street

1 Bom-bom, bom-ba-dum Ma-ma-ma-bom-ba-dum Ba-da-dum [music playing.]
- [chikunas clucking.]
- [panting.]
Kids, I'm gonna need you to be extra nice to Mom.
She had the worst hunting day possible.
Oh, no.
Did everyone find out she stores food in her belly button? [gasps.]
I know her shame.
[Grug.]
Way worse.
She was trying this new surprise attack she invented.
The am-bush.
I am the bush.
Ha ha! - Uh - [growling.]
[roaring.]
[chuckling.]
[yelping, screaming.]
Uh, Ugga, is this still part of the ambush? [Ugga screams.]
Ugga scream from horror or embarrassment? [screams.]
Even the bear owl was embarrassed for her, after we pried her out of its jaws.
So Mom's in a real bad mood.
Thunk, we need you to do that thing you do.
You mean this? [grunts.]
No, the other thing.
Cheering up Mom with your Thunk-y take on life.
Oh, yeah.
Mom says it's what makes me her special little cave guy.
[grunts.]
Yeah.
Stuff like that is great.
Way to be a team player, son.
[Ugga shouts.]
Okay, you're on your own.
Good luck! [growling.]
Hi, Mom.
Hi, Thunk.
Hope nobody's hungry, 'cause after my ambush mess, all we got is this.
[gasps.]
You mean my favorite food, meat, comes in my favorite color, blue? You're the best mom ever.
Oh, that makes me feel better.
[stomach rumbling.]
[groaning.]
You want some more? Mm-hmm.
[laughs.]
That's my special little cave [grunts, groaning.]
So, Mom [chuckles.]
what's for dessert? [growls.]
Well, you tried, son.
But I guess there are some moods that even the Thunkiest takes on life can't change.
[growls.]
Oh, no.
I think she heard me.
[Grug shrieks.]
I need to get back to being Mom's special little cave guy.
Hopefully, we can find a way to cure a bad mood here in the Cave of Secrets.
[gasps.]
Look.
I found something.
"Ten ways to become the most popular person in your pack.
" Ooh! Eep, focus.
I am focused.
"Which real predator of Ahhh! Valley are you?" Oh, let's find out.
Come on.
Those quizzes are a waste of time, and I always get wart frog.
Yeah, sure, sure.
Just, uh, let me leave something in the comments section.
Enough! You don't need to share your every thought.
[Eep.]
But I'm not done hating this yet.
[Grug and Eep.]
Whoa! [Eep.]
"The mystery of the good surprise"? "Cavemen think all surprises are bad, but some actually have the power to make a person happy when nothing else will!" What? How? Doesn't say.
The painter must've died before he finished.
Or he got bored.
Nope, he died.
Thanks, buddy.
This is just what I needed.
I don't know.
You heard Mom.
Surprises are bad.
Like getting surprised by a predator or by quicksand.
[gasps.]
Or by a predator made of quicksand.
You'll see, Eep.
I will make Mom happy with a good "surprise.
" Just as soon as we figure out how to make a surprise good.
We can't risk trying it out on Mom, so [straining.]
[shouting.]
[both.]
Surprise! [shouts.]
[grunting.]
Ooh, you don't look cheered up at all.
Sorry.
So, where did we go wrong? [crying.]
Why? Why? You mean we need some sort of reason for our surprise.
Hmm.
- Surprise! - [shouts.]
Because we got you something.
Really? How exciting.
Yep.
A ramu! [grunts.]
This is not exciting! [screaming.]
[both.]
Maybe it should be a happy reason.
Surprise! Good news, Munk.
You won a hundred free eggs.
[gasps.]
I did? No.
But look how happy you are now.
[sobbing.]
Maybe it should be a happy reason that's also true.
Oh, yeah.
Pretty obvious when you think about it.
[chuckles.]
[snoring.]
I think we finally got it.
A happy and true reason for a surprise that'll definitely cheer Mom up.
On three.
One, two Wait.
Are you sure you wanna risk this? Maybe Mom's already over the whole ambush mess.
- [all snoring.]
- [Ugga.]
Stupid ambush.
And in front of the hunters.
[groans.]
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
[snoring.]
[shouts.]
Nah, scratch that.
Where were we? Right.
Three.
- Surprise! - What's wrong? Who fell into a thing? How sharp are its teeth? Everything's fine, Mom.
I'm just bringing you a new surprise we call breakfast in a sleep pile.
Ta-da! Here you go.
[straining.]
I mean [straining.]
here you go.
[grunts, sighs.]
Wow! This is sorta sweet.
You know what's weird? This surprise actually makes me feel happy! [screaming.]
Uh, I think I really messed up.
Don't worry, Mom.
It's just a baby.
It can't fly very far off the ground.
[grunting.]
- [grunting.]
- [screams.]
Mom! [gasps.]
Are you all right? Ugga, this not your day.
[roars.]
Uh, any chance that "grrr" means "I'm great, special little cave guy"? [snarling.]
[sighs.]
[chuckles.]
[grunts.]
[continues grunting.]
Man! [groans.]
Why? Oh, you wanna go, huh? I eat bigger rocks than you for breakfast.
Mom, come quick! Thunk has gone to the hunting fields.
He says he's gonna prove to everyone that your ambush works.
He what? Looks like it's your lucky day.
Thunk! Thunk! Oh, no.
[roaring.]
I am the bush! [yelps.]
Thunk, we've gotta get outta here.
No.
I'm gonna cheer you up by ambushing those bear owls, and possibly surviving.
But that's crazy.
No, it's not, because if I can't make you happy, then I'm not your little special cave guy anymore.
- What? - [snarling.]
Hey, knock it off.
We're having a touching moment here.
Thunk, sweetie, people get upset sometimes, but I promise, no matter what mood I am in, you'll always be my special little cave guy.
Really? This way! No.
This way.
Toward that cave.
[screams.]
[panting.]
I know I'm slow, but you're not.
[screaming, shouting.]
[rumbling.]
Quick.
Clear the rocks.
[grunting.]
Mom, if this is our last moment, then there's something I should say.
What is it, honey? Well, just that This is twice now that your ambush idea has failed.
Pretty embarrassing, huh? [screams.]
Who's next? Come to Mama.
[shouts.]
Wow! Thunk, that was a bold move, putting me in a bad mood like that.
[chuckles.]
Easy choice, Mom.
After all, I know your mood doesn't change how you feel about me.
Oh, that's right.
I will love you in any mood.
But we're all done with these awful surprises, right? Surprise! For she's a bloodthirsty cavewoman For she's a bloodthirsty cavewoman For she's a bloodthirsty cavewoman Which nobody can defy What? Who is? What is all this? It's a surprise party, Mom.
It was Thunk's idea.
We've all come to tell you how much we love and respect you, honey.
Not me.
I came for the food.
Ugga son tell Amber Ugga feel embarrassed.
But Ugga not need feel that way.
Hunters think Ugga ruthless killer.
Oh, wow! That was the exact thing I needed to hear you say.
Yeah.
Amber good smart with words.
So all that stuff outside was just a trick to get me here? Yep.
And those bear owls that was just Munk and the hunters in costumes.
Huh? We're supposed to do what now? [gulps.]
Or they were real bear owls and we almost died.
[chuckles.]
Surprise.
I am surprised.
In a good way.
Thank you, my special little cave guy.
For she's a bloodthirsty cavewoman For she's a bloodthirsty cavewoman For she's a bloodthirsty cavewoman Which nobody can defy [music playing.]
Class, for today's lesson I got nothing.
So, any ideas? Let's talk about Night Mares.
- Yeah! - [all cheering.]
Ooh, good choice.
[chuckles.]
Maybe you should be the teacher.
- Really? - No.
Back to Night Mares.
Night Mares are the best.
Pretty rainbow horses that only come out at night.
[giggles.]
We all love them.
But who can tell me how to catch a Night Mare, hmm? [laughs.]
Nice try, Teacher Squawk, but you can't catch a Night Mare.
Yeah, because their wild hearts deserve to run free.
No.
Because they don't exist.
[laughs.]
Oh, don't mind us, little girl who's making a fool of herself.
Yeah, Eep.
Night Mares totally exist.
I saw one once.
His smile was so bright - [gasp.]
- I had to look away.
[whinnies.]
[Pat.]
I saw him, too.
His smell's so sweet that all other smells are, like, ruined forever.
[retching.]
[neighing.]
[Lerk.]
When I looked into his eyes, I saw all the secrets of life.
You're a cartoon! Okay, show of hands.
Who has seen a Night Mare? - Just so I know who here is cool.
- [excited chatter.]
Me! Yeah, yeah, I was just messin', guys.
I see Night Mares all the time.
Really? Prove it.
You know, I'll prove it by by bringing you a tuft of its mane.
Yep, which I totally have back at my cave.
Yep From when I saw it, so, yeah.
Sure.
Otherwise it would be very humiliating for you.
Why, we might have to laugh at you forever.
[cackling.]
[all laughing.]
[chuckles.]
[Ugga.]
No staying up all night, Eep.
You need your beauty sleep, to sleep off your beauty and look tough.
But, Mom, I've worked it all out.
Okay, first, I stay up until I attract a Night Mare with spike apples.
Then I cut off a tuft of its rainbow mane.
Then I take it to school, wowing my classmates forever.
And then, I give Thunk an award for best brother in the valley? Thunk, stop messing with my plans! Eh, worth a shot.
No, Eep.
Staying up will give you the night crazies.
[sighs.]
Remember when it happened to Thunk? So I tried to eat a bunch of toenails.
On Mom's foot.
I thought they were berries.
Exactly.
Now good night.
[groans.]
Pig rats.
[snores.]
Mom, if you've changed your mind and you're all right with me staying up now, just say [snores.]
[snores.]
[chuckles.]
[snickers.]
All right! These eyes won't shut till they see the Night Mare, and I got everything I need to stay awake.
Yeah.
Jumping beans.
And jumping beans.
[chuckles.]
[laughs.]
Oh, yeah! [chanting.]
I'm gonna catch a Night Mare, gonna pull out its night hair! I'm gonna catch a Night Mare, [sighs.]
gonna pull out its night hair.
[yawning.]
Mm, on second thought [sighs.]
[shouts.]
[grunts.]
Okay.
[grunts, babbles.]
No sleeping! [sighs.]
I need something else to keep me awake.
Yeah.
Or maybe someone else.
- [snoring.]
- Rise and shine, Thunk.
Snuggle parade! I mean, no.
I was not dreaming about leading a parade of fuzzy, snuggly cuddle monsters.
They were leading me.
[chuckles.]
[chuckles.]
Right.
Listen, I need you to help me stay awake so I can see the Night Mare tonight.
[sighs.]
I don't know, Eep.
What if you get the night crazies? It's too risky.
[sighs.]
That's too bad.
Because I really wanted to hear a thrilling story filled with magic and intrigue.
[gasps, laughs.]
I have just the tale.
It's called "The Intriguingly Magical Pugott.
" Once upon a time, there was a pugott with three heads, and he was so lonely, 'cause all the other pugotts didn't wanna eat all the spinach that he So there he was, hanging off a cliff when - [gasps.]
- the mean bear owl held out his hand to the good bear owl and said, "I am your father.
" And then the pugott sprouted wings and he Thunk, the spike apples are gone! The Night Mare must have been here.
- [gasps.]
- We know you're out here, Night Mare.
Oh.
Oh, well.
Hm-hm.
Looks like he got far, far away.
A-ha! Weird.
I thought he was standing behind me.
Hm, guess I was wrong.
A-ha! Hmm, I'm starting to feel pretty stupid here.
[chuckles.]
A-ha! - [groans.]
- [Thunk.]
Eep! I see it.
You do? Where? Right there.
[gasps.]
He's glorious.
Here, mare-y, mare-y.
Uh, Thunk, that's me.
Stop goofing around and help me find it.
Neigh, neigh.
Sure thing, night-y.
Just as soon as I get a tuft of your mane for Eep.
Oh, no.
You have the night crazies.
Thunk, snap out of it! Would someone with night crazies do this? - [shouting.]
- [screams.]
[giggling hysterically.]
Stop! [yawns.]
So tired.
[laughing continues.]
[laughs.]
[Eep.]
No, no, no, don't do it! Because you're in our way.
You make a cute couple, though.
[yelling.]
- [shouts.]
- [yelling continues.]
- [screams.]
- [screams.]
[panting.]
Thunk, are you okay? The Night Mare, he was just here.
Did you see where he pranced off to? No, that was me.
You got the night crazies and got all well, crazy at night.
I did? Oh, how embarrassing.
[sneezes.]
Oh.
It's almost morning.
[sighs.]
I'm never gonna see the Night Mare.
And everyone's gonna laugh at me forever.
Or I could drop out of school.
Don't give up, Eep.
See it for both of us.
[yawns.]
[snoring.]
[yawning.]
No! [shouts.]
No, I won't.
[yawns.]
No - [snores.]
- [neighing.]
[gasps.]
Night Mare.
Hi.
[giggles.]
Hi.
Are you a Night Mare? [chuckles.]
Of course you are.
You're so pretty.
Or do you prefer handsome? Oh, you're blowing it, Eep.
I'll, uh, I'll just cut to the chase.
Any chance I could get one tiny tasteful tuft of your mane? Please.
Well, since you said please.
[gasps.]
You can talk? [clears throat.]
Not only that I can sing [chuckles.]
But I don't like to brag.
Whoa! [laughs.]
This is incredible! I wish everyone at school could see me right now.
You got it.
[gasps, laughing.]
Students, the right way to fall is not this way! See? I met a Night Mare.
We're so sorry we doubted you.
Forgive us.
Yeah.
Like, I've never ever said I'm sorry, but for you, I'm thinking it.
[chuckles.]
Oh, thank you so much.
[sighs.]
I think everyone should have a Night Mare.
Then why don't we give everyone a Night Mare? - [whistling.]
- [cheering.]
[crying.]
Nothing will be as good as this moment.
[sniffing.]
Nothing! Wait.
Am I dreaming? [chuckles.]
No.
Just night crazy.
[groaning.]
So, how was your night crazies? Enjoy eating my toenails? [sighs.]
I should've known that it was too good to be true.
I guess I have to go to school and face the fact that I'm the only one who hasn't seen a [Lerk.]
Night Mare! [panting.]
You can't outrun me.
Ooh, free meatballs.
Wait.
Lerk just has the night crazies, too? Huh, maybe nobody saw the Night Mare.
I knew I was right.
Of course there's no such thing as a horse.
Yeah.
A lion horse? Sure.
But just a horse? That's the stuff of dreams.
[snoring.]
Yes, there's no such thing as a Night Mare.
[laughing.]
[neighing.]
Whoo-oh-oh-oh Ba-dum-dum, ba-dum Whoo-oh, ba-dum-dum ba-dum Whoo-oh, ba-dum-dum Ba-dum-dum, ba-dum Whoo-oh-oh-oh Ba-dum-dum Ba-dum-dum ba-dum
