[theme song ends.]
[stepping, clapping,  and popping gum in beat.]
Tuca, can you stop kicking my seat? Fine, but it's your fault for giving me gum.
Aw.
[stepping and clapping in beat.]
So, why are we going to open houses today? Because it's fun to lookie-loo and pretend we're rich.
Plus, your aunt's house got Speckle all horned up.
I get to nerd out about architecture while Bertie fantasizes about all the other lives we could be living.
It's fun to daydream, and then go home and binge on interior design shows until I feel sick.
Well, this is what I get for blindly following you out to the car.
Can you drop me off at the arcade? Aw, just come with us.
It'll be fun.
Plus, sometimes open houses have free cookies.
Damn it! Once again, the siren call of delicious freebies has driven me headfirst into the jagged cliffs of boring bullshit.
Oh! This place is so nice and clean.
You guys wanna take bets on how soon I get kicked out of here? Actually, realtors are shockingly tolerant of shenanigans.
Yeah, they don't really care what you do.
They just wanna make a sale.
Capitalists! -Like me! -Check this out.
Welcome.
My name's Evelyn, and-- Good day! We are Beauregard and Blenda Bartholomew.
Of the Bird Town Bartholomews.
We're so rich, it's sick.
[gasps.]
My favorite kind of rich.
And this is our au pair Beakles.
What up? I'm Beakles.
I'm, uh, taking a gap year from Foreign University.
[in indistinct accent.]
Because I vinted to learn English.
Be so kind as to beguile us with this bungalow's bewitching baths, brilliant boudoirs And blissful bidets for our blessed booty holes.
But of course.
Your b-holes will adore this Tuscan marble.
So, let's get into it.
What's a girl gotta do to get some free cookies? -I smell 'em.
-[chuckles.]
Actually, it's a little realtor secret.
-Mm-mmm.
No, you shouldn't! -[gags.]
-Oh.
Mmm.
-Disgusting! -Oh.
-Ugh! Terrible! Beakles, no! Um, uh, could I have that spray back? Nope.
["City On The Map" plays.]
Lately, I been out my mind But I'm fine  In time, I'll be rap genius They'll see me as young Einstein I'll grind till I get signed Name on the dotted line -Whoa! -[gasps.]
We're looking for buried treasure.
It increases property value.
[laughs.]
Great.
Notice how easily the ground turns over for digging, or gardening, or, in my case, an early grave.
I just drop regret it Now my credit started going up I'm just showing' out by showin' up Ka-kaw! Just measuring the scream space.
Looking good.
Yes, these cabinets have 65 percent scream retention.
[screams.]
Hello.
I'm a rich, sexy astronaut, and I have 35 percent down in my space-bag.
Why should I buy this house? Go.
-[clock ticking.]
-Um, school district, uh, backsplash, breakfast nook, moon roof, spa tub, uh, farmhouse sinks with Wi-Fi.
Hello, space? Looks like I'm needed elsewhere.
Whoo! [laughs.]
  I'm so bad! Everywhere we go, I'll bring the city Something it ain't never had before What kind of molding would you say this is? It's milled wood, I believe.
[laughs.]
Milled wood? In this climate? [laughs.]
Jeff, wow, uh [chuckles.]
that's a good one.
Uh, but spoiler alert, I'm an architect.
Milled wood! Might as well be mildew wood.
As you can see, this home has tremendous copper pipes.
[chuckles.]
That was my toilet purse.
Happens all the time.
This is my actual purse.
No! [sighs.]
So, this is a low-flow toilet with a beautiful, leathery smell.
[toilet flushes.]
I used to sleep here with my wife.
Okay, I'll unpack that later.
-[Tuca.]
Huh.
-[gasps.]
It's so cute! -Great curb appeal.
-Yeah, not bad.
Oh, we're playing boring people now? "Hi, nice door.
" -Ooh, it is a nice door! -What? Hmm.
Love these maple floors.
The vaulted ceilings! Perfect for a lobby trampoline or foyer catapult.
This could be the master bedroom.
This room could be a shared office.
I could learn to enjoy sharing.
This can be my craft room where I'll make dolls by hand.
Speckle will say they're creepy, but we'll ignore him.
Then, late one night, they'll come to life and take their revenge! And this is where they'll find our bodies.
Hey, where'd y'all go? Uh, maybe this sounds nuts, but this place is actually perfect for us.
[Bertie.]
I was kinda thinking the same thing.
Huh.
-This place is perfect for us.
-I was thinking the same thing.
Huh.
-This place is perfect for us.
-I was thinking the same thing.
Huh.
I just hope they let me have a sleepover in the third bedroom.
Me, too.
Borkle and Squeaky are my only friends.
[laughs.]
Ew! What if we made an offer? Is that crazy? I mean, I love it.
Why not? Wait.
What? -Oh, good one, guys.
-[grunts.]
You'd really have to have your shit together to buy a house.
Well, Bertie and I have been saving for a while.
What? I thought we were all poor together.
Wasn't that the plan? We don't talk about money, but we all assume we're in the same place.
Um, we both have jobs.
You make enough money at your law firm to buy a house? -Tuca, I'm not a law-- -But what about the apartment? I mean, we were never going to live there forever.
We always knew at some point we'd grow up and move out.
Well, I need to leave immediately.
Not because I'm upset, but because I also have my shit together.
In fact, I've been ignoring my shit all day, goofing off with you two.
I really should get back to my shit because, as adults know, shit must be kept.
Good day! Come on, third wheels.
Let's go.
Uh, we kind of have a thing here.
-Tuca-- -[Speckle.]
Hey, Bertie! Come look at this pantry.
It's got a Lazy Susan and a Lively Linda.
-[woman giggles.]
-Ooh! What kind of paradise is this? Ew! Mm-mmm.
Ugh! Oh! What? Where am I? You're in the hood.
The adulthood.
Ah! Hello! [exclaims.]
Are you here for our "buy 40, get one free" goldfish sale? Nah.
How about our "buy one, get 40 free" goldfish sale? [laughs.]
Not today, dude.
[laughing.]
We have a lot of goldfish! I'm actually here to make a high-commitment purchase.
A "forever friend.
" Oh.
Fuck, yeah! Let me show you our longer-lifespan animals.
-[cat meows.]
-No.
-[dog barks.]
-No! -[pig grunts.]
-Maybe.
[jaguar growls.]
Yes! Once your loan is approved, you'll be one step closer to home ownership.
-Great.
-Thank you.
There are just a few more things we need to go over.
-[gasps.]
-I assume the two of you are married.
Actually, no.
Maybe someday, but right now, the thought of planning a wedding is like, bleh! Someone put me in a corset and pull it tight until my lungs explode.
I see.
The paperwork for you will be a bit more complicated.
-Aah! -Wow.
Your co-ownership agreement should answer questions like, mm "What happens to the property if, uh, one of you drops dead?" Dying? [laughs.]
Who's dying? All of us, from the moment we're born.
Wow.
True.
Thirty years? Fixed? [banker.]
If both of you are killed, your house will go to your murderer.
And if your murderer gets murdered, -your house goes to the bank.
-[Bertie.]
What? [banker.]
Now let's get into what happens if neither of you get murdered, and both of you live together in this house for a very long time.
Great.
Listen, our credit scores are excellent, and we have savings for a down payment.
Bertie and I are committed to this process.
-Right, Bertie? -Yep.
I like you two.
You're prepared.
A lot of young people get caught up in the fantasy of buying a house and aren't prepared to do the work, financially, psychologically, or sexually.
Good thing that's not us.
[laughs uncomfortably.]
All this talk about mortgages, and 30 years, and early death -It's a lot, don't you think? -No way.
Just because our loan is 30 years doesn't mean we need to live in the house for that long.
Oh, okay.
[chuckles.]
This is just a starter house.
After five to seven years, we can upgrade to another home or build our dream home from scratch.
We've got years and years to explore all the possibilities.
But I hate possibilities.
If a restaurant has too many options, I end up ordering napkins.
-[jaguar roars.]
-Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Easy, girl! [pants.]
[roars.]
Ridin' around town On my motherfucking jaguar [cars honking.]
On my motherfucking jaguar [jaguar roars.]
-[people scream.]
-[jaguar roars.]
A little for you, mm, but more for me.
-[timer dings.]
-And right on time.
Bertie, make room on the counter for these hot trays.
-Eep! -Okay, Bertie, ready to plate.
[laughs nervously.]
These are hot little suckers, aren't they? -Hi, Bertie! -[gasps.]
It's me, Speckle.
Uh, is this sanitary? Open your mouth, Bertie.
Wha-- [gags.]
[gags.]
Health code violation! -Wow, that was a deep nap you were having.
-Bla-- [sighs.]
Hope I didn't bother you.
Uh, I got so excited about that little house, I started sketching some ideas for it.
Wanna see? Bertie? Yeah, house.
Cute house.
Check this out.
-Whoo! -What? [screams.]
-Wow! -Check out the backyard.
See, if we remove the bushes here, and we expand the patio here -Eek! -we can build a deck with a fire pit.
-[gasps.]
-We'll use it once to impress our friends, and then, it'll be purely ornamental.
-My own garden.
-[Speckle.]
We'd have so much space here.
One of the benefits of living farther from the city.
Oh, that's right.
This house is a little farther out.
I'll have to take the train to work.
And probably sit next to a dude eating the world's smelliest egg salad.
But just think about how you'll be helping the environment.
Mmm, but the more I think about it, didn't that kitchen look small to you? -[screams.]
-Nah, that's an easy fix.
With all of the renovations I've planned Mmm I keep thinking about Tuca.
We can't just move out and abandon her.
She needs me.
None of her bills are set up for automatic payment.
She's welcome to visit anytime.
Look, I made her a sweet tire swing.
Hey! -[electricity buzzes.]
-Huh.
What? [distorted electronic music plays.]
Uh No! [screams.]
Sweetie, could you help me change my diaper? [passes gas.]
Because for some reason, this is how you picture old age.
Oh! Where did Tuca go? Oh, you haven't spoken to her since we signed our mortgage five years ago.
I love that you care about Tuca, but she's resourceful and resilient.
She'll be fine if we move out.
You'd be so cute in a little house.
Ah! I just want to live with you forever! Aah! You keep saying "forever," when statistically, men die at 70.
What am I supposed to do until I drop dead at 109, after finally trying cocaine for the first time? Aw.
You'd make such a cute, old widow! Man, I love addressing all of your concerns.
Boom! Problem solving.
-But you're not listening.
-[phone buzzes.]
Oh! That's the realtor right now.
Exciting! Hi, uh, Rebecca.
Did they receive our offer? Uh, how high should we go if they counter? Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Hey, I-- I got to run to the bakery.
I'll see you later.
Okay, bye, sweetie.
I'll let you know right away if I hear any news.
[passes gas.]
As you can see, this jaguar and I are two adults with our shit together.
And as such, we would like you to do our money.
[growls.]
Great.
Joint checking account it is.
Hmm [clicks tongue.]
Okay, under "account owner," -I see you listed "jaguar.
" -That's correct.
And under "occupation" for said account owner, -you listed "jaguar.
" -That's correct.
Mm-hmm.
And for "jaguar," you listed "jaguar.
" Wait, did you cross out "income" and write in "jaguar"? That's correct.
-This all seems to check out.
-Thank you.
Good day.
Gettin' a joint account With my motherfucking jaguar My motherfucking jaguar Gettin' a joint account With my motherfucking jaguar A little for you, mm, but more for me.
-[timer dings.]
-And right on time.
Bertie, make room on the counter for these hot trays.
Oh, no, this shit looks exactly like my dream! Okay, Bertie.
  [exhales.]
Calm down.
This is real life.
Nothing sexual is happening.
This dough is too wet.
Got to keep pounding it until it firms up, and stiffens [grunting.]
and gets hard.
Great! Now it's sexual! Bad brain! Bad brain! Why do I always do this? Because you're horny.
[laughs.]
Shut up, hypothalamus, you dirty lobe-humper.
Suck my cerebrum! Figure this out, you two.
Oh, jeez.
He's got the body of a tenure track professor, but the arms of an adjunct.
What's going on with you? You seem, uh, jittery.
Shit.
He's onto us.
Act normal.
-'Sup? -[phone buzzes.]
[laughs.]
Uh, my boyfriend and I might be buying a house.
But I don't know.
It's all happening so fast.
Ah.
Can't say I recommend it.
Buying a house with my ex-wife was a disaster.
-[laughs.]
-[laughs awkwardly.]
-[laughing.]
-[alarm ringing.]
Yep, too far from the city, the kitchen was tiny.
And the fire pit? Purely ornamental.
-Huh.
-[phone buzzes.]
-[beeps.]
-[Speckle.]
Uh, hey, honey.
Uh, I know I said we'd have time, but another offer has come in for the house.
We need to move fast and make a counteroffer.
Ah! This is all too much! [grunts.]
[dings.]
[Bertie.]
I'm completely normal.
My dreams aren't weird, and I don't have any fears of commitment.
I'm fine! [chuckles.]
  Completely fine.
I'm doing a normal amount of work at a reasonable speed.
You know what would be fun at a reasonable speed? Don't you dare.
[grunting.]
[exclaims.]
Focus! I'm the picture of productivity, a role model for future generations, a beacon.
[Pete.]
Bertie, are you in there? -Your pain au chocolat is vibrating.
-[buzzes.]
Thanks! Oh, I mean, sorry.
[sighs.]
You put your phone inside the dough instead of chocolate.
Typical rookie mistake.
-Oh, no! -[glass shatters.]
All these voicemails from Speckle and one from my own phone? -[beeps.]
-Hi, Bertie.
It's me, your phone.
I'm getting really hot.
[cries.]
I'm sorry, phone.
I made a bake mistake.
No problem.
Cooling off now.
Bye! [buzzes.]
-[exhales.]
-[beeps.]
[Speckle.]
Hey, uh, I realize this is all happening much faster than we thought.
So, um, call me back so we can talk about it, okay? -[buzzes.]
-[Speckle.]
Me again.
Wait.
Oh, shit, did I hang up? Ugh! -[buzzes.]
-Hey, uh, sorry.
I-- I wasn't sure if I had hung up properly or if the voicemail was still recording.
Anyway, Rebecca thinks we should make an offer now, but I can't do that without you, so get back to me.
We're still in the running for this thing.
[Speckle.]
Hey, what was the name  of that movie we watched where the young bird was abducted? It's driving me crazy that I can't remember it.
[buzzes.]
[Speckle.]
It was called Young Bird Abducted.
Okay.
Call me back.
[buzzes.]
[Speckle.]
Hey, Bertie.
We lost the house.
-[phone buzzes.]
-[Speckle.]
Hey, uh, please call me.
It's so weird that you're not answering your phone.
Um, I'm worried about you.
[grumbles.]
Tuca? I need to talk to you.
-[exclaims.]
-[roars.]
[screams.]
-So, this is my new pet, Jaggy.
-[growls.]
Took me hours to come up with that name.
Tuca, you got a jaguar? Are you crazy? That's a huge and dangerous commitment! You and Speckle are making a big commitment.
Buying a jaguar is just the Tuca version of buying a house.
[roars.]
-[objects shatter.]
-Actually, we aren't buying anything.
-So, you aren't leaving? -Nope.
-[roars.]
-[objects shatter.]
I don't know why I thought we'd be ready to own a house together.
I'm officially the worst at being in a relationship.
What makes you say that? I maybe have a weird crush on Pastry Pete.
[groans.]
-[Jaggy growls.]
-I'm a terrible bird! Oh, girl, you nasty.
[snarls.]
Ugh! I had a sex dream with lots of really beautiful pastries.
And sometimes, I think about him.
But as long as you don't act on them, weird crushes are cool.
Your brain is a free zone.
Aw, yeah! Imaginary fucking.
Oh, man, really? [exhales.]
I feel so guilty about this.
I got, like, a billion weird crushes going on at a time.
In my head, I'm married to three random strangers, I'm having an affair with six others, and I'm terrified that the whole thing is gonna come crashing down on me.
[all gasp.]
But it doesn't matter 'cause it's all in my head.
No big deal.
Nothing's ruined.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah! -[all cheer.]
-Huh.
-[Jaggy roars.]
Aw, shit! This jaguar is ruining my shit! -Damn it, jaguar! -[Jaggy growls.]
She's just mad  'cause I spent all of the money in our joint checking account.
[growls.]
But I needed all those novelty socks.
[laughs.]
-[snarls.]
-[gasps.]
[phone buzzes.]
-[man.]
Delivery! -Come on up.
You ordered food during all this? Hello.
I have 16 orders of meat dumplings and-- [man screams.]
My beautiful beak! Now I'll never be an actor with humble beginnings! [screams.]
Now, my face is just a mush with holes in it! [screams.]
My mush! No! My holes! Ugh! You're right, Bertie.
This pet is too much for me.
-[Speckle.]
Bertie, are you up there? -Uh-oh.
-[Jaggy growls.]
-[man screams.]
-[man.]
Why? Why? -Hey, is that a jaguar? Speckle, watch out! Jaguar, stop! Be still.
Also, if you maul that guy any more, he's gonna die.
[man.]
Thanks, buddy.
Damn.
Good one, Speckle.
Ugh.
Hmm Hmm! Sweet and sour sauce.
Come now.
-Whoa.
-Wow.
That's cool.
You can keep her.
Consider it a neighborly gift.
She just needs 16 orders of meat dumplings every two hours.
-Sorry about all this, buddy.
-No problem! Five stars, right? Eh, four stars.
-You're a little late.
-Aw, shucks.
Speckle, how did you tame that jaguar? I don't know.
I just didn't want it to hurt you or me.
Mostly me, because I'm mad at you.
I'm so sorry I didn't answer your calls.
That "30-year fixed" stuff scared the shit out of me.
All you had to do was tell me.
I know.
I tried.
But you were like a runaway train with this house.
How are you so sure that this is going to work out? I don't really question it.
I know that I want you now, and that's enough.
Mm, it's silly, but for me, sometimes making a big decision feels like closing a door.
That's okay.
We can slow down and take it step by step.
Also, I'm gonna look really hot in 30 years.
[chuckles.]
Third wheel, third wheel Cookin' some food Third wheel, third wheel Gonna taste good! Cookie omelet, anyone? Speckle, I'm sorry we lost that house.
Eh.
There's always more houses.
I just really liked that one.
-Well, what about this place? -Hmm? I mean, have you seen this open house yet? Because this place is a dream! Look at this somewhat spacious kitchen with its state-of-the-art cabinets that open and close.
Except for this one, because it's jammed.
Mm, that is a great feature.
And think of all the time you'll save not watching a fireplace because there isn't a fireplace.
[laughs.]
Oh, perfect! Also, this place comes complete with one non-standard toucan.
[fanfare.]
Standard.
Consider me a built-in entertainment center with no off switch.
Consider me impressed.
And get a load of this powerful toilet.
Ugh.
The pipes in this building are trash.
Y'all should think about moving.
[all laugh.]
Oh, Tuca.
[screams.]
No, no, no! All of these actors are too handsome! Well, I don't know what you're looking for.
I keep telling you the character's name is Mush Face.
-I need a man with a mushy face.
-I don't know what that means.
[knocking on door.]
Dumpling delivery? [both gasp.]
