Erky Perky (2006) s01e10 Episode Script

Perky the Brave

Crazy!
Life was good
on Hot Dog Stand ♪
For two bugs
with food demands ♪
Had our last meal
one sunny day ♪
They got caught
up and swept away ♪
Into Kitchen's
where they landed ♪
We're so hungry ♪
And we're stranded ♪
Finding food is
quite a mission ♪
Other bugs are competition ♪
Now just one question ♪
How do we find our
way back home? ♪
- The amazing Erky
approaches the net.
He cuts right and
Oh.
Goal!
(laughter)
We play.
I'm on a roll.
- You've had two turns already.
(grunts) (bones cracking)
- A little, a
little to the left.
(bones cracking)
Oh, that's good.
Oh don't you find it
very harmonious
in kitchen today?
Almost peaceful.
Too peaceful.
- Hey!
- What we need is a
little friendly competition.
A contest.
- A contest?
Oh fun.
(door creaks)
We haven't had one
of those in a long time.
(door slams shut)
(deeply inhales)
- Mmm. Oh.
- Oh.
Eee.
(sniffs)
(grunts)
(sniffs)
- Oh, baby cakes!
Here I come! (laughs)
(sniffs)
- Delectable.
I'd know that wind anywhere.
(moans)
- I see have your attention.
- [Crowd] Oh.
- This mouthwatering
morsel of vintage cheese
will soon belong to one of you.
- [Crowd] Oh.
- Cheese.
- Ah! But who?
That is the question burning
into your buggy brains.
Whoever wins the
contest, that's who.
(crowd murmurs)
Silence!
I'm holding a
presentation later today,
and whoever can impress
me most will win the cheese.
(crowd murmurs)
You know, dance, sing,
juggle, stand on your head.
Impress me.
- What?
- The rules.
One, everyone must participate.
Two, no working together
or else you'll be de-griming
Margaret's gums for a month.
- [Crowd] Ew.
- Erky!
Wait. Wait for me.
Wait up.
We got to think of something.
- What we?
Didn't you hear what he said?
It's every bug for himself.
- Erky!
This is me, Perky.
Your life long pal.
No more Erky and Perky.
Just Perky and Perky.
That stinks.
- You called?
- Stinks!
Am I glad to see you!
I haven't a clue
what I'm going to do.
- Me neither.
- Well, what can
you do for someone
who's only interested
in her looks?
- Her looks?
Hey! I can work with that.
Too bad we can't do
it together. (chuckles)
But it's against the rules.
Okay. See you.
- (pouts) Oh.
- (laughing) I need an idea.
Just one little idea.
Oh!
Watch where you're
going beetle breath!
- Hey! I bet you have
an idea for the contest.
It's probably terrific.
- What contest?
- What contest?
We all got to do something.
An act.
- You trying to trick me?
- Trick?
That's it.
I'll do a trick.
No! A whole circus act.
- (laughs) Reminds
me of the time
I lost my right ear
at the bug circus.
Never heard the end of it.
- Oh, I can't think of anything.
Nothing.
Nada.
- Mhmm.
(screams)
Don't look!
- Oh, sorry! Sorry!
(humming)
- Ah! Smell that!
Odeur d'amour.
Delicious.
Oh, have a little taste.
Just kidding. (laughs)
- Erky's magnificent circus act.
She'll love it.
- Erky, you got to help me.
- Oh. Ah.
Perky, can't you
see I'm practicing.
Go away!
- But Erky.
- Quiet.
(Perky murmuring nervously)
(Erky grunting)
Ta-da!
(trumpet sounds)
That's our cue, Perky, my pal.
- I got nothing, nothing.
(murmurs)
- Let the presentation begin.
- Contestant number one, Stinks.
(coughs)
- Behold, the custom made
Stink-o-matic back massager.
You pull this lever to
trigger the articulation--
- Boring!
Let's see if it works.
- [All] Oh. Ah.
- Oh, Margaret likey.
- [Crowd] Oh.
(screams)
- Disqualified.
Next.
- Moldy Van Oldy.
- Ah. Contest?
Right you are!
My presentation is a
story about Margaret
when she was just out of
the cocoon and cute as a flea.
She was a brave little bug,
only one thing scared her.
- Enough!
- Scared the living
daylights out of her.
- Next!
- She was, and
still is, terrified--
- Stop! (Moldy snores)
- Water!
(crowd gasps)
- Next!
- Sajuica.
- I made this for
you, Aunt Margaret.
- [Crowd] Oh. Wow.
- Oh! Lovely.
Try it on me.
(Sajuica grunts)
(shrieks)
- Woah.
Nice try, but not quite.
Next.
- Frenzel.
- Ladies and gentle bugs.
Introducing (hums)
Alex-o-goop.
The miracle formulation
that does away
with sagging thoraxes
and wilting wings.
Prepare to be amazed.
- [Crowd] Oh.
- You look marvelous.
Truly marvelous.
- Well, I do look younger
and more gorgeous than ever.
You're in the lead.
- Next.
- (chuckles) Suckers.
- Erky.
- May I present,
poetry gymnastics?
I speak of Margaret of
the place called, kitchen.
A bug most beauteous
in our kitchen
to sing her praises
night and days-es.
Just when you feel a little down
think on Margaret
and you won't frown.
(Erky nervously
chuckles) (Margaret growls)
- Next.
- Perky. You're up.
- Me?
- No, your imaginary friend.
- Oh.
- What are you waiting for?
Don't just stand
there, you pathetic bug.
Do something.
(Perky shrieks)
- Go, Perky!
- I can't look.
(gasps)
That's good.
- I think we have a winner.
(crowd cheers)
- Ah-hm.
Oh dear!
I guess I must have
had a little nibble.
It hardly seems worth
giving it to Perky now, does it?
- Well, yeah, but I won, guys!
(crowd cheers)
Oh no!
I suddenly feel so disposable.
Oh wow!
So, which one of us
becomes the alter ego?
- Great presentation,
Perky, old pal.
- Thanks, but I wish we
could have worked together.
Two heads are better
than one, you know?
- I know, but you really
pulled it off on your own.
What made you think of it?
- Eh, I don't know.
It just sort of came
off the top of my head.
