[giggling] No, you're a bulky lumberjack.
[Dino] Here lies Cupcake B. Goody in his natural habitat.
Sleep-talking, sleep-dreaming... [gasping]
-Sleep-waking up! -Ah, for the last time, Dino,
can you please stop filming me while I'm sleeping?!
-I mean, no. Probably not. -No, probably not, indeed!
Sorry, I've been outside for, like, half an hour waiting for a decent entrance.
Well, your resilience paid off. Perfection. Mwah!
Thanks! Now, Dino, are you ready to put that camera to good use?
Oh, I'm pretty sure I've got that covered, Vic.
Mega zoom!
-What you got for us, Vicky? -I've just entered Big City
into a documentary-film festival
to get some red-hot exposure for this red-hot town!
-And guess who's gonna make our film. -[gasping]
Debbie the landscaper at the Botanical Garden?
[gasping] Debbie the employee at the vacuum store?
[gasping] A third Debbie?!
What?! No, you! Consider it a general service.
Documentaries are all about filming the truth and making it captivating.
I love it! Cup and Dino: filmmakers! Big City, prepare to be documented!
We got red-hot stories to tell and red-hot people to tell them about.
Like our mayor, Vicky, who started this whole "red-hot" trend.
I dunno. We've never made a documentary before.
The winning film gets screened for the whole world to see.
-You'll be famous. -We're gonna be superstars!!
Hey, how's this for a film-festival acceptance speech?
[sniffling] This is such an honour.
-There's so many people I have to-- -[Dino humming]
-What are you doing? -[humming]
-Dino? -You're out of time. He's playing you off.
-I am. Exit camera left. -What?!
And now a message from our sponsor.
[Cupcake] Big City Documentary. Scene one, take one. Action!
[Dino] This is it!
-And that'll be... -[beeping]
...$3.50.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
-[chiming] -Goodbye.
Oh, did you see that?! The drama! The conflict! So real.
Yeah, we're gonna need something a little more exciting.
Not to worry, Vicky. This town's a well of excitement and Cup and I are buckets.
[Cupcake yawning]
Get ready for the nittiest, grittiest, and prettiest stories
Big City has to offer!
[Cupcake] Action!
[whirring]
Action. [sighing]
Blue. Yellow.
Oh, wow. A rare case of blue and yellow?
How exciting!
I don't know, Dino. Okay, actually I do. I was just trying to be nice.
This film is making Big City seem super boring.
Boring?! Um, I'm sorry, did you not see Hugo's blue and yellow folder?
What's next, red?! A red folder?!
I know! We could make a couple changes to liven the doc up a bit.
A few small embellishments never hurt anyone, right?
Check this out. "Now I'm in spaaaaace."
Or like, like, uh... "Arrr, I'm a pirate!"
Yeah. Maybe we better stick to the truth on this one.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Documentaries are all about being real and connecting with people.
Come on, guys. Let's amp things up a bit.
Just a tweak here and there.
You can be anyone you want, Vic. Anyone in the world!
Anyone?
I am Vickarius, the magical mayor of Big City!
Watch as I turn this man into a...
a... a horse!
Oh, please don't.
-We can fix that in post, right? -I actually don't know how to--
Definitely! I'll also have to edit in an abundance of trees
for my lumberjack scene.
You're up, Officer Bees!
This is how I patrol the streets.
[grunting] I-I can't hold on much longer! Oof!
I feel this is going well.
I'm conflicted, Cup.
Isn't it wrong to build people up as something they're not?
I'm gonna say no. You heard Vicky.
We gotta make Big City look good! Plus don't you wanna be film superstars?
-[Dino] Hey, what's this do? -[both] Fun!!
Okay, never mind, I am in!
Boop! Boop! Boop!
-And... Submitted! -[chiming]
Ah, filmmaking is fulfilling work.
Rise and shine, boys! I have news!
Sure I'll cut down that tree with my strong, capable lumberjack hands.
-Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!!! -Ah! Douglas fir!
Guys! We won the film festival!
Wow! See, Dino? Oh! It all worked out.
Yeah! [vocalizing]
Whoo! [vocalizing]
I'd hold off on that celebration for just a sec.
The festival organizers are coming to town to award us our prize!
Exactly! The celebration continues!
Still not getting it, huh? Well, let the Vickster spell it out.
Now the film organizers are going to see
what Big City's really like!!
-What?! -[gasping]
Guys, what are we gonna do?
I guess we'll just have to keep this charade going a little longer, right?
That's fun! That's fun!
[humming nervously]
What? Oh, I also dance when I'm nervous.
Okay, everyone. You've all received your characters.
Now all you gotta do is play them up for the judges,
so you seem more interesting than your actual boring selves.
-Can I get a hip-hip-hooray? -Hip, hip, hooray!
Hip, hip... Everyone now.
Yo, man, this is ridiculous. I won't do it.
Will it be ridiculous when the whole world sees our documentary and we all become...
-celebrities? -[all gasping]
How's my hair? How's my hair?!
-[phone ringing] -Hello. This is she.
Yes! Of course we're ready. See you soon. That was the film organizers.
They're gonna be here soon, and we're not ready!
-[all gasping] -Places, everyone! Places! Places!
Yes, hello. Um, quick Q about my character.
It just seems a little, uh, far-fetched to me.
Could I ask: What's his motivation?
We need you to play Professor Hamburger,
and your motivation is to be a giant piece of meat sandwiched between a bun.
-Wear this. -I see.
Alright. Dig in, Hot Doug.
This is why you took a community-college night-school acting course
once a month for one month.
-[fairground music] -Guys, the town looks amazing!
Who knew how realistic sets were?
-[gasping] -I did!
Hey, hot stuff.
Okay, here they come! Places, everyone!
Mayor Vickarius! [chuckling]
I'm Viv Blintz, yes.
And this is my associate, Tucker Chug.
It is a pleasure to meet you.
And you!
And you must be Cupcake.
My goodness, your muscles are even bigger in person.
Thanks! I mean - ahem... [deep voice] Thanks.
[Viv] And now who might you be?
Uh, this is Dino, the genius behind the camera.
The lens is my sword. Beauty is my battle!
And here is, uh, where I fight.
-And you're gonna die! -[gasping]
-No, no, no, Dino, Dino, Dino, Dino. -I took one step too far...
-He was using a metagore. -Metaphor.
-Sure. -Well done, young man.
We look forward to giving you your prize at the screening of the "filim" tonight.
[laughing] Yes. But first,
we would adore a tour of that crazy town we saw in the film!
Est-ce possible?
Sure! Right this way... Ahem. Way. Sure, right that way.
Welcome to Goody Bag,
the grocery store... from the future!
B-beep, boop, boop.
[robotic voice] Can I interest you in a future pear?
[robotic drone]
That's just a "present pear" with tinfoil on it.
[laughing] Am I right?
[normal voice] Well, tinfoil is...
the fruit of the future.
Moving on, moving on!
This is our famous Fairy Fountain, where your dreams can come true...
I'll grant you any wish you want.
Great. I'd like to be doused in untold riches.
Um, I've got about... let's see, 76 cents.
-Is that untold enough? -[forced laughter]
This... this is our town scientist, Professor Hamburger.
Mm... No!!!
I can't do this character! It isn't me!
I'm a hotdog!
A hotdog!!
Ah...!!!
Um... ta-dah?
[screaming]
That's it! You are disqualified! Ugh!
But... but the town's expecting to see a documentary!
Th-they're so proud of Big City! Please don't go.
Ugh, your film of made-up stories will never see the light of day!
-Or evening! -Wait a sec. That's it!
Viv! I think I have an idea that will make it worth your while.
Please stay! I'll douse you in untold riches?!
Oh! Fine!
-Great! Cup, can you stall for me? -Sure, but what are you gonna--
[Dino] Doused!
And thus concludes the detailed account
of my visit to the post office.
-[audience groaning] -Up next, th-the time
I went to the bread factory...
-[booing] -[all] Movie! Movie!
-Movie! Movie! -[yawning]
[chuckling] Where's Dino?!
-[door slamming] -I'm here! Oh.
Okay, everyone, may I present Big City: The Real Documentary!
[retro music]
Hey, that's me! Looking good, Chancy.
[cheering and applause]
Well? What'd you guys think of the real Big City, huh? Huh?
Oh. It was... incredibly boring.
Sorry, I had a popcorn kernel in my eye. Bye now.
Adieu!
You know what? Forget them! I love Big City just the way it is.
I should never have sold you guys out.
Thanks for reminding me how amazing this town really is, Dino.
Aw...! My pleasure, Vic.
Big City stories truly are all around us.

♪ I'm a cake to the max ♪

-Huh. Here we are. -Well, so much for that rap.
This is where Hugo told us to meet our new general services client.
Oooh! Mysterious! Why the secret location, Cup?
I dunno, Vicky. But I like it.
Feels like we're in a spy movie or something.
Or a horror, and this is the part where the masked weirdo jumps out
and he's, like: I tricked you! Prepare to be eaten, Cupcake!
-[laughing] -Ha-ha. Ha. Fun stuff, Vic.
-Hello? -[Dino gasping]
Sorry, when I get nervous, I-I-I hide in darkness.
I'm a mushroom.
Mushrooms, the cupcakes of dirt.
My name is Bill. I asked you to meet me out here 'cause I'm shy.
-[all] Hi, Bill. -Meeting new people, it's hard for me.
I-I need help making friends. Can you help me?
[all] We will.
These two are the best general servicers in town.
If they can't find you a friend, no one can!
That's right. I'm a certified buddy expert
from the Dino University of Friendship.
The school is just in my head. Enroll today.
Okay, let's just go find Bill a friend.
[keys clacking]
-Hey, matchmakers. How'd it go? -Not great.
Turns out finding friends for Bill is harder than the final exam
at the Dino University of Friendship.
-I'm sorry to hear it. -Wait!
What if we type all of Bill's traits into Hugo's computer
and create a formula to find him a friend match in Big City?
Okay. Fun idea, Cup. But there's no formula for friendship.
Trust me. Friend expert right here.
It's worth a try. Let's think about Bill. What makes him him?
-He's terrified of everything. -He lurks in the darkness.
-Small and off-putting. -I like the size of his forehead.
Now we wait for the computer to do computer stuff...
C'mon, computer. Do that stuff...!
-Please be patient. I'm trying. -[gasping] It can talk!
-[triumphant music] -[Cupcake] It worked! We have a match!
Erma Armato. Let's go!
So... Are there any other planets where life exists?
-Yes. -Amazing.
What kind... What kind of life?
There's a planet called Earth where humans watch little videos
on their computers or on their televisions.
You are one of those videos.
Bill! Are you nervous to meet your new best pal?
Yes! I want to hide away forever.
[Erma] Then I guess we already have something in common.
[gasping] Please don't look directly at me.
Or speak directly at me. Or address me in any way.
Wow! She's just as shy as Bill!
I'm Erma.
And there's the handshake. Oh, firm grip.
Open shoulders. But can he muster a smile?
And he sinks the putt! Textbook meet-and-greet!
Spike a ball in your tennis court, this turkey's done! Slam...
-Can you please pick a metaphor?! -...dunk! Yeah, sorry. Got it.
Real... Yep.
Hey. I don't feel the urge to hide! Wanna go sit apart from each other,
then every once in awhile look over and wave?
-More than anything in the world. -Wow, Cup, that actually worked.
[gasping] You know, you could turn your formula for friendship into an app
and everyone could find their perfect match!
Oh, no. Vic, come on.
This was more of a lucky one-off than anything else.
No! Vicky's right! And this could be good promo for our general-service business!
If we want good promo, we should just hand out this flyer I made.
That's a picture of you... on a unicorn.
Exactly. Good... promo!
[background chatter and laughter]
[dramatic music]
-[Cupcake] Innovation. -[echoing]
-Dignity. -[echoing]
-Friendship. -[echoing]
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome the visionary behind the Best Friend Matchmaker app:
Cupcake B. Goody!!
-That's me! -[distant] Whoo!
Earlier today I asked myself, I said: "Myself,
what if we lived in a world
where everyone was paired with their optimal best friend?
And what if that world... was this world now?!
[gasping]
-[all gasping] -We've spent most of an hour
developing the world's first and only best-friend-matching app.
And it worked for the shyest guy in town, Bill Burroughs!
Wait a second! You expect me to believe
a computer can figure out my best friend?
Yes, Peetree. My Best Friend Matchmaker app can find anyone a friend.
Even you.
Just type in your personality traits and I guarantee a perfect match.
Okay, let's see. Likes... doing tasks, handsome, modest,
-et cetera. -[beeping]
-[triumphant music] -Dino?
-Huh? -But he's my best friend!
Bear with me, Dino.
The Best Friend Matchmaker app is never wrong!
Peetree Gluck III is... Dino's new best pal.
-[exclamations] -[beeping]
Um... I guess so.
Best pals forever!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, you're hurting me a lot.
Ow, oh, ow.
-[sighing] -[Dino] Ow.
Dino, check it out!
The Best Friend Matchmaker app has 1,000 downloads!
1,000! That's enough to satisfy anyone's entrepreneurial musings.
And Big City News wants to do a tech mogul piece about me!
This is gonna be huge for our general services business.
Well, that's okay news, for sure.
I'm just worried if people don't see you hanging out with Peetree,
they won't believe how great the app is.
I mean, Dino and Peetree aren't exactly two peas in a pod.
It's okay, Vic. I will hang out with Peetree.
We'll hang hard. The app is wrong, but I can give it a try.
[sighing] Thanks, Dino. But it can't be wrong.
Everyone's using it. Someone even sent me this thank-you card.
That's from me. I love my job and I had to tell you.
-I got chocolates. Just sayin'. -How come I didn't get chocolates?!
-You're sweet enough already. -Ho-ho. Okay...
-[whispering] I ran out of money. -[whispering] I know.
[grunting]
I think I'm in love. Hey!
Denny. You showed.
Well, it's Dino.
And, yeah, my brother is really into his new app and it said we should hang so...
Right. Uh... yeah.
Oh, here, I got you these... flowers. Friend... friendship flowers.
Huh. Well, thanks.
This means a lot.
Do... you...
enjoy... fun...?
D-do you enjoy fun?
Uh... Wanna go do some general services?
Anything to break this awkward tension, yes!
-[light music] -[no audible dialogue]
What do you think of this scarf for your big interview? Huh?
Yeah, you like big scarves, huh?
-More scarf! -Cup, I'm tired of Peetree!
He's mean and I want to hang out with you, my real best friend and real best brother.
Hang in there just a little longer, okay, buddy?
My big interview is about to start. Is this enough scarf?
I mean, you're pretty much all scarf right now except for your hat.
No, that's scarf too. Watch out. Ta-ta! Wish me luck.
Good luck.
Barbara Shoulderpads here live with Cupcake B. Goody,
who invented the Best Friends Matchmaker app!
How does it feel to be so successful?
Almost as good as it feels to know
we've helped the people of Big City find BFFFLs,
best friends forever for life!
The app doesn't work! I mean, how could it say that we're compatible?
-He doesn't even like to high-five. -Whoa!
Ha-ha! They're joking, of course. Ha-ha.
We want our money back! We're a total mismatch!
[deep voice from above] What did he just say?
I-I think he said, "I love this app!" [nervous laughter]
Ah, one of our best matches, Dino and Peetree.
Dino, isn't Peetree your perfect match?
[sighing] Yes.
He's my... best... friend.
Eh...
There you have it. A total success! Final question, Cup.
Since you're the friendship expert: What makes a friend a friend?
A friend always supports you...
-[Dino groaning] -Even when you don't deserve...
Stop the interview!
I mean, the interview is still going,
but you can say something different if you want.
-The app doesn't work! -[screaming]
I was wrong! You can't boil friendship down to a formula.
Real friends are ones you pick yourself.
And right now I pick my best pal in the whole world, my brother.
That is, if he'll still have me.
-Ooh! -Oh!
Well, well. Welcome back, handsome.
-Can you forgive me, Dino? -Well, it depends. Can you...
-give me a best-pals hug, best pal?! -Yeah!
-Oh, that's good. -Aw. That looks nice.
I want to forgive you guys, too!
So you're telling me that not a single match worked out.
-Except one. -We're still the best friends ever.
Great! Can you say that on camera in front of thousands of people?
Well, this is Barbara Shoulderpads saying I just wasted an entire afternoon.
Coming up next, a local man was hit in the face
with a mysterious paper plane that--
Well...
♪ Friends are people that make mistakes ♪
♪ They dig a deep hole with lots of heartbreaks ♪
♪ Lots of heartbreaks ♪
-I said I was sorry, Dino. -No problem, best pal.
-And Dino is... out! -[feedback]
