Surprise!
Flint, not that Pickle Garden isn't great and all...
- Pickle. -...but you promised me...
-...the most romantic date ever. - Dog house.
Is this really what you had planned?
I know. Sam...
...I didn't really want to have to tell you this.
But if you really must know...
...let me show you with my new 2D Memory Thought Translator.
- You ready? - Ready.
Clicking.
Well, I think everything's ready for Sam's romantic date with me.
Telescope aimed at Sam's favorite constellation, check.
Liquid nitrogen ice cream-making kit, check.
Bunsen burner fondue, check.
Test tube calliope programmed to play Sam's favorite song.
Check.
Weather balloon with Sam's face painted on, check. Laser light show, check.
Sam's really gonna love all this.
Everything is picture perfect. No.
PoOPY-
You really need to get clean before Sam gets here.
But your last bath was not a pretty sight.
Flashback.
Steve, please come out.
I don't really have time to wash you now.
Wait, I've got it. I'll just invent someone who does.
Designing, building, programming, finishing touches-ing.
Check it out, Steve. It's called the...
...Super Simian Soaping Dirty Monkey Scrubbing Hygenifying Robot.
Or the S.S.S.D.M.S.H.R. for short.
- Steve, say hello to the S.S.S.D.M.S.H.R. - Pee pee.
S.S.S.D.M.S.H.R., say hello to Steve.
Not to worry. By the time Sam and I get back...
...I just know you'll clean my monkey. Later!
Hiding.
Shiny.
Banana.
Dude. Sugar pie.
Heartbroken.
Stinky.
Cheese.
Burning.
Steve.
Lick, lick, lick.
Busted.
Running.
Cornered.
Wet.
Where are you taking me?
I think you're really gonna be surpri--
- Steve, you look beautiful. - Pretty.
Now everything really is perfect.
Flint, what's going on?
Okay, Pickle Garden it is.
Please don't dump me. Please don't dump me.
Flint, that was...
Yes?
...the most romantic surprise ever, ever!
Good thing Steve got clean. Dirty monkeys are super gross.
Meatballs.
Hola. Soy Manny from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.
You are probably wondering about the glass shards.
It's a long story.
Luckily, I can show you what happened with my 2D surveillance camera.
- Hola, Sam. - Manny, breaking news.
We need you here at the station in five minutes.
Super-Manny.
A kitty.
Not good.
Sir, you need a crane license to operate this.
Fortunately, I possess such a license.
No, kitty.
Oy vey. Distracted driver.
Playful kitty.
Stupidly explosive nitro. Really stupid curve.
Baby bunny rescue. Oh, they're so cute.
Oh, no.
Perdo'n. I have to save a cat. Thankfully, I am a licensed race car driver.
You want to see something really stupid?
- Whoa, that was close. - We live another day.
Kitty.
Don't worry, I am a licensed wing walker.
Kitty, don't move.
Please stay out of trouble, por favor.
- Manny, where are you? - Breaking news.
Manny, we're on in three, two, one.
Hello, Chewandswallow. This is Sam Sparks with breaking news.
The first bloom of spring.
And cut. You get that, Manny?
Oh, this is bound to go network. Isn't today a great day?
It certainly is.
Oh, no.
You gotta love this kitty.
This is going to hurt.
No kitties were harmed during the filming of this short.
Although the stunt kitty took one for the team.
A glass shards company. Really?
Couldn't it have been a cushion and pillow company? I mean, come on.
It's not true, Steve. I like Gummi Bear and you just the same.
Check it out, boys. It's finished.
My latest, greatest invention. It's better than my Flint Lockwood...
...Self-Dribbling Electric Basketball that I invented before lunch.
Don't touch it, Steve. It might need a tweak or two.
We wouldn't want Gummi Bear to get hurt.
Help!
Help is right, Steve. My new invention will help moms everywhere.
I call it the Flint Lockwood Adorably Cute Food Modifying Machine.
Moms know how hard it is...
...to get their child to eat their nutritious yet ugly vegetables.
But if we place an array of gnarly garden fresh vegetables under my machine...
...turn the dial to "Cute and Small"...
...zappo change-0! They turn bite-sized and adorably cute.
Kids will be entranced by the cute smiling faces...
...allowing them to eat a week's worth of nutrients in just one bite.
How, do you ask? After an unset amount of time...
...the food grows back to its previous size.
I still need to work on that part.
Nutrition accomplished!
It's brilliant. But don't turn the dial to "Big and Ugly"...
...because who would want anything to get bigger and uglier?
Einstein's underpants proud of ugly vegetables to make cute.
Squashed.
Squash is right, Steve.
I'm Off to the farmer's market to buy squash and other barfy vegetables.
Steve, you're responsible for Gummi Bear while I'm gone.
Don't touch anything.
Especially my Flint Lockwood Adorably Cute Food Modifying Machine. Later!
Do you have anything bigger and barfier?
Bingg!
Catch.
Release.
Home run.
Marshmallows.
Creamy.
Bricky.
Which one is uglier, ginger root or jicama?
I was rooting for ginger too.
Nothing ever happens around here.
Boys, I'm home.
Good old Steve. I knew I could count on you to be responsible.
I brought you a surprise. It's your favorite:
Gummi Bears. Jumbo size!
Nightmare.
Snore.
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?
