Hello. It's me, Officer Earl, from the new movie:
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.
Have you ever been camping with a gibberish-talking pickle and strawberry?
It always ends badly. Like these two guys I animated in beautiful 2D...
...to illustrate the perils of camping. Roll film!
And remember, no roasting marshmallows or no cozy campfires...
...or any other namby-pamby stuff like that.
This is the Earl Scouts.
It takes a real man to be an Earl Scout. No babies allowed.
You won't be needing your cowboy pajamas and blankies.
This is about survival. Survival of the fittest.
If you survive, you get a badge.
It's all about survival.
You know, kill or be killed. Stuff like that.
Survival of the fittest.
Kill or be killed.
Watch your back.
It's all about survival. Would you trust a pickle?
I wouldn't sleep if I were you. How can a guy with seeds on his face be trusted?
Think about it. Barry, would you trust a pickle?
No offense, Pickle, but I wouldn't trust you either.
You're all wrinkly and green.
Survival of the fittest!
Pickle, Barry, you did it. You passed the survival test!
You survived the elements using friendship.
And for that, I give to you, Pickle and Barry...
...the highest Earl Scout badge of all, the friendship badge.
Of course, the friendship badge is made of two pieces.
One for each friend.
You are now Earl Scouts!
Moments like this always make my eyes sweaty.
Earl Scouts is all about friends
We work as one, then everyone wins
I told you it ends badly.
At least I got some fresh pickle relish and strawberry jam out of it.
Just kidding. You got any toast?
