Coming up next, the secret to lifelong happiness and prosperity.
But first, is there a mutant sea monster in Big City Lake?
It'd be a weird setup if there wasn't.
-Yes! Yes, there is. -You called it.
Meet Bigfin, the second cousin to Bigfoot. He's been wreaking havoc on children,
fishermen and even popular Big City synchronized-swimming duo Dan and Jan,
who practice in Big City Lake.
Not Dan and Jan! I love them! Dan's the man and I'm a fan of Jan!
Oh, someone has to catch Bigfin, Cup.
-Who's ready for a gig?! -Oh, no, is it catching a sea monster?!
[laughing] No! That'd be so wacky!
You're feather-dusting a fortune-teller's office in 20 minutes.
Well, we could've done the sea monster thing too.
For sure. No problem. No probs.
-Any, any prob-prob. -Nanny-nanny-prob-prob we coulda.
Yeah, that's a... that's a saying, right?
[sitar music]
Cupcake and Dino, the feather dusters. I knew you'd be coming.
I mean, you hired us, so...
-yes. -Shh. Listen up.
Stop. Revered psychic reviewer Nina Nombelstein
is coming in for a session!
So the place has to look spotless, lest she gives me another bad review.
Got it. Spotless. No problem.
It will... be done!
[door bell jingling]
There's Nina!
As predicted...
I really think you're confusing fortune-telling
with scheduling appointments... uh.
Nina! It's just so nice to see you again! Come in!
Didn't... say... please.
I sense that you're going through some issues.
Nina, by any chance, are you a mother?
-No. -Um...
-Sister? -Definitely not.
Uh... I, uh...
Ooh, she's dying out there.
[Dino] She's a daughter!
Oh! I am a daughter!
Well, I mean, he just pointed out you're a girl...
Edna, who is this young man?
Dino. Junior psychic. How are ya?
Don't answer, 'cause I already know. You're...
...fine.
Remarkable! Well, I've seen enough.
"Edna's Fortune Telling is the best in town." Five stars.
-Despite the dust. -[both] Whoa!!
Have a good day, Mr. Junior Psychic. Ta-ta!
Thank you, Dino! I must repay you. Pick anything in the shop.
-Anything you want and it's yours. -Wow! Really?!
-Uh... your crystal ball! -Except that.
-Okay, your magic cards. -Nope.
-Alright, um... that doll on the floor? -It's... yours!
Oh! This doll has powers that will harness my psychic ability, right?
Uh, yeah, sure, kid. That's... Wow, good choice. Special doll.
Very special doll for a really special, totally psychic dinosaur.
[both] Wow...!
I will see the future!
-What will I be when I'm older, doll? -Hello, sailor!
Ah!! My costume for next Halloween... four months from now!
It's what I was plan... It's what I was planning.
You heard me talking about... That's what I was planning.
[Cup] Wow. The drawing is proof. Dino and the doll have powers!
-Yeah, great. You should go now. -Should we go now?
[doll] I'm Cap'n Otto! Shove off, me mateys!
-Let's shove off! -Rude, but accurate.
Mommy, have you seen my doll?
What is wrong with you... Can't you see? Mommy is fortune-telling.
-Otto, what's for lunch today? -Take to the sea!
Oh! Big City seafood 50% off?!
Otto, should I get the shrimp, or the scallops?
-Ask Cap'n Stan! -Hi. I'm Stan. I'll be your waiter.
-[gasping] -Uh... you want some bread?
-Um... will I be president someday? -Swab the deck, me mateys!
I see. Otto's saying you gotta work hard and keep clean, Vic.
Then you will get what you desire.
Yeah, it didn't feel like he was saying that at all.
-That's... a long road. Big stretch. -No, it's not a big stretch.
The psychics have spoken. Poof of smoke! Etc.
I'm gonna go do work now.
How many dates will I go on this week?
The tide keeps turning and the waves keep... waving.
Ha-ha. Well, that's... I dunno if that's anything, actually.
Cute toy, boys. But the answer is 12. I have 12 dates.
Slow week. Friday's a holiday.
Wow. Otto is really helping me nail these premonitions.
What a team! Me and Otto. Otto and me. Dino and Otto.
Run the theme... run... run a theme song.
We don't have one of those?
Hey, would you agree if I said that Otto is just a toy and not a future predictor?
Curious to see if we're on the same page here.
-No, I would not. -Gotcha. Very different page.
-Different page. ♪-Dilly-dilly dilly-dee ♪
♪ The life for me is on the sea ♪
And he sings?! Oh! Triple threat.
Go for it! I'm your octopus sidekick through thick and thin!
Not now, Dino. Let's... Hey, why don't we give Otto a break for a bit?
-[music playing] -Dino?
I just love ya, Cap'n Stan!
[announcer] From the hit preschool TV show
The Adventures of Cap'n Stan and Cap'n Otto the Octopus,
get your very own Cap'n Otto the Octopus doll!
It speaks over 20 sentences! 21 sentences! Available at toy stores everywhere!
Batteries not included. Toy does not predict the future.
Otto?! Hey, Dino, Dino, get in here!
Hi, Cup. I know I'm not Dino, but I've come to tell you Dino's gone.
Well, where did he go? I have something important to tell him,
-and something more important to show him. -Um. He went to go catch Bigfin.
What?! The sea monster that no one can catch without getting hurt?
Yes. Dino asked Otto if he should catch Bigfin,
and Otto said yes. Well, I'm paraphrasing.
He really said - and I quote - "Argh! Ahoy, mateys!"
Hugo! Dino's doll is just a regular old preschool toy!
Not a psychic! TV told me so! Didn't you, TV?!
I gotta go to the lake and save my bro!
Well, at least I'm not the only one who talks to the TV. Isn't that right, TV?

Dino! Oh! There you are!
We gotta get outta here. You can't catch Bigfin!
It's fine, Cup. Otto said so.
Dino, I have to tell you something about Otto and you're not gonna like it--
Is it about how happy and confident he makes me feel?
'Cause I already know that, silly Cup. I know that all... too well.
-Just trust me, Dino. We gotta go. -Go?
Give me one good reason why we shouldn't be psychic heroes, Cup. Just one!
Uh...
[wood cracking]
Whoa.
[rope tearing]
-Ah! We need to get off this bridge, Dino! -No sweat, Cup.
-Hey, Otto, what should we do? ♪-Dilly-dilly dilly-dee ♪
♪ The life for me is on the sea ♪
The sea. Of course! Ah!
What?! Ah...!!
Ah! A fishing... a fishing boat?!
Where did a fishing boat come from? What are the odds?!
One in 10,000,563.
What? I'm a fisherwoman and a statistician.
Just as Otto predicted.
Bigfin...!
Oh, Bigfin...!
Dino, we really should get going now. It's been hours,
and still no sign of Bigfin. Plus it's freezing!
Oh, c'mon, Cup. It's all part of our destiny.
With Otto's psychic abilities, nothing bad can happen.
-Plus, we just met Margot! -My name is Gwen.
Why don't ya try a sailor hat?
Otto strikes again! That'll warm us up!
-Sailor hats. -[Cupcake sighing]
Dino, you ever get the feeling that Otto just says - I don't know -
programmed lines about sailing at random 'cause he's just a toy?
A fine... a fine quip. A fine quip, Cupcake.
Oh! This is it, Cup! Bigfin!!!
No, Dino, it's a waterfall! Quick! Start paddling!
Nah. Don't worry, Cup. All part of the plan.
-Batten down the hatches! -Selfie stick!
-Why am I here? -Cheese...!
Dino? Dino?! Dino!!!
Ugh! Oh, what a ride! Look at your face, Cup.
-So, so scared. -That's it!
-Dino, we're done here. Time to go home. -But, Cup, look where we are!
Big City Lake! Home of Bigfin. Why would we leave now?
Because the premonitions weren't real, okay?
Otto's just a doll from a preschool show. I saw it.
Aren't we all kinda just dolls from a preschool show, though?
When you think about it. Know what I mean?
-Do you know what you mean? -Not a 100%, no.
I'm just trying to talk my way around this.
Dino, just trust me on this one, okay? This is really dangerous!
I don't think so, Cup. If it was so dangerous,
-why is Margot coming along for the-- -Keep the boat! I'm out!
All the best, Margot! Or Gwen.
Nice lady. Oh, Biiigfiiiin?
Where are... you?!
Oh! Oh, no, he's huge.
To be honest, I thought the fin would be bigger.
Relax, Cup. We know how this ends.
That all you got, Little Fin?
Uh... that all you got, small, small - Little Fin was good -
-...Little Fin?! -Oh!
Hey, don't! So... so slimy! Ugh!
Cup! Uh... Otto?
You didn't mention anything about this. What do we do?
Ask Cap'n Stan!
The waiter? Weird. All he knew about was the specials...
-[roaring] -Dino!! Help!!
I swear the fin is bigger up close!
Hang on, Cup! This all works out! C'mon, Otto, do something!
-More Cap'n Otto toys in stores now! -Toys?
Otto, what are you talking about? Cup's in trouble! Come on!

Well, I guess our destiny's been rewritten, old friend.
Now, be a good boy and get ready for the trip of a lifetime--
Dino! Not the time for a speech!
All the best, Otto! Big throw!
I got you, bro. I got you, bro. Come on. Come on.
Yeah. Can you pull me out of the water?
No. No. I just need a second here.
Then he said, "Big throw!"
And - boom! - sacrificed Otto for me.
Yep. Living in the moment is much more exciting
than knowing the future, it turns out.
Life isn't about knowing what happens. And that's alright...
That's the lesson, I think.
Yeah, let's watch the news to find out about what's gonna happen.
Breaking news. Bigfin has released the children,
fishermen, and most importantly,
synchronized-swimming duo Dan and Jan, after adopting an octopus doll?!
Turns out all Bigfin really wanted was an annoying, repetitive friend.

[narrator] It's Pal House!
The reality show where best pals find out how strong their pal-ness is
by living under the same roof!
Hold on to your pals... It's Pal House!
Will this week's contestants be able to last in the Pal House?
Find out now!
Ah!! Best pals coming through! Into the Pal House.
I have been so excited for this for the longest time.
Me and my friends showing the world
that we're the best friends ever on Pal House.
Easily my eighth-favourite show!
We're walking through the door now. A sturdy door. Good frame.
Birch maybe, or is it cedar...? He wondered--
You don't have to narrate everything, Dino.
-Just try and forget about the cameras. -He tried his best to...
forget about the cameras.
Yeah, relax, Dino. Like you would at Big City's fave grocery store:
Goody Bag! Mention Pile House and save big on eggs.
Wow! What a pad!
Is that a pool table where the dining table should be?
What would dinner say about this?
I gotta admit, guys. I wasn't sure about coming on this show at first,
and you did some extensive talking me into it.
-Yeah, we did. -But I mean...
Oh! Is that a dance floor in the living room?!!
[Hugo] No, that's just a floor floor. And there's a No Dancing sign.
Well, I'm excited to spend the night here anyway.
-Thanks for setting it up, Cup and Dino. -The night?
I thought we were here for a week! I packed my headgear.
A week?! No, I can't do that! I'm the mayor.
I gotta make power moves like this... and this.
-[shouting] -Looks like your arms are throwing--
-What... what is that? -Looks like karate, in a way.
Cupcake, Dino, what's going on? How long are we in Pig Husk?
Okay, so maybe we didn't give them all the info about Pal House.
Alright, sue me.
Don't... sue me.
Well, we were saving it as a surprise, but...
we're all gonna be in here together for one entire glorious month!!
-[siren blaring] -[all gasping]
I know! I too am shocked in a positive way! I'm assuming.
We'll show the world that we're the best... pals... ever.
Great, right?
-[grumbling] -No good?
Were you hoping for two months? A year?
[narrator] Well, looks like Cup and Dino have already messed up with their pals.
Question is: How long will they stay pals in... The Pal House?
As tensions grow, the pals have to settle in
and pick their sleeping arrangements.
[whistling] Sweet momma. That's, like...
the yacht of beds. Dibs!
-Ooh! I want the big, squishy one! -I love it! I want it! It's mine!
-I called it! -I want this!!!
Back off, babies! I'm the oldest and the toughest.
The bed is mine for either or both of those reasons.
Huh. Why would they put such a good bed next to such a bad bed?
Doesn't feel very pal-y of them.
Well, this'll do just fine for me.
[narrator] Two beds are set. But where will everyone else sleep?
-[muffled] Cozy. -Official mayor announcement.
This is my waterbed, so buzz off!!! Vote Vicky.
All I got was a yoga mat and a bucket. I don't get it.
[bed hissing]
Well, that explains the bucket. Now how does one yoga?
Is it just me, or does it feel like the Pal House
is pitting us against each other?
No one gonna answer?
Okay, this is what I'm talking about!
Now we've found a bed. Metal ladder, wood frame. Good build.
-What is that, oak? Am I looking at oak? -Dino, Dino.
-Huh? -You're narrating again.
Okay. Y'know what, Cup? I think Pal House is gonna work out just fine.
Me, too. Good night, Dino.
I'm having a nice time.
[narrator] It's four hours later, and the Pals have figured out
a pal-tastic solution to their bed problems.
There we are! One huge, comfy bed for one huge, comfy pile of pals.
Sleepovers are fun! I've heard. I've actually never had one.
Ooh! Well, maybe we should stay up late and tell spooky stories.
Ooh, I'll start. Uh...
Broccoli is on sale right now at the Goody Bag...!
Oh... quite a barnburner, Uncle Chance.
[narrator] Looks like the pals are still pal-A-OK,
but little do they know,
we're about to turn up the heat and see what makes them tick.
[whispers] Yeah, I was being... literal.
-[polka music] -[humming along]
Oh, yeah, that is classic polka.
Uh. Can you put something else on? I'm pretty polka'd out over here.
Well, sure thing, Cup.
[same song playing]
Why, I... I pushed the techno button for the kids, I swear.
This machine seems to be a real polka fan.
I mean, I don't blame it, but, like, c'mon.
-[gasping] -[polka music still playing]
Oh, cool lemonade!
Come to Momma!
-I could also use a beverage. -Ah...
Is that a glass of... oatmeal?
-[slurping] -Well, that doesn't seem fair.
Just... one... more.
Wow, Vicky. That's, like, the fourth-best house of cards I've ever seen.
-Oh! Dino! What did you do?! -I didn't touch them. I promise!
Sure, you didn't. Of course not.
Just walk away.
Okay, so this isn't going great and it's only day two.
But three weeks from now, we're gonna be laughing
about our first couple of days at our favourite place in the world.
You stole my toothbrush!
-No, you stole my toothbrush! -Nuh-uh.
I have all your toothbrushes.
They're my friends now.
[maniacal laughter]
-Open up that door right now!! -Mayor's order!
Hey, camera, we gotta get out of here. Yeah. Yeah.
[Vicky] I'll have you arrested for something!!
[narrator] Pal House is brought to you by...
[announcer] It started with an idea.
-Honey? -And turned into a phenomenon!!!
Sports Disk! Available everywhere balls are sold!
Who's gonna pay for that window?
[narrator] Looks like the Pals are buckling under the pressure.
Will they last? Can they get along? Does Hugo enjoy oatmeal juice?
-[whispering] Pal House! -Oh, hey, Grandma, I... Argh!
-Shhh. Shhh. -Dino, what are you doing?
Shhh. Follow me.
-Ahem-hem-hem? -[sighing]
[grunting] Ta-ah...
Look, Cup. People have lost faith in each other. It's the house!
This is my pie. Mine!
I love pie. [giggling]
It's this place, Cup. The Pal House has pitted us against each other!
This isn't a show about friends being friends,
it's about turning friends into foes...!
-C'mon. It's a silly reality show. -Oh, really?
Okay, who bent my headgear into a very attractive avant-garde art piece!?
I mean, I like it, but... my teeth!!
-None of our pals would do that. -It's the house...
Who put my mayor sash in the dryer? I had one rule: No fondling the sash!!!
Hmm. Also a little off.
-Ah!! Parrots!! -Okay, that's just weird.
Oh! There is something going on with Pal House!
-We've gotta warn everyone. -Commando roll?
-Commando roll. -[both grunting]
"The sceptre is mine, Voldraf!"
"Agreed! The schedule confirms it's your week!"
[kissing sounds]
-Psst, Hugo. -[hissing]
Easy, boy. Easy... That's it.
Hugo, listen. We gotta get out now. This house is making us crazy!
Oh, no, I can't leave.
I'm playing with my action figures.
Good, buddy. That's good.
Wait. You're trying to trick me to get them,
-like the others, aren't you?! -[both] What?! No!
Well, they're mine and no one can have them but me! No one!!
[gasping] [both] Our brushes!!
-Traitors! You set me up! -[door slamming]
Don't worry, Cup. We made this mess, we'll get out of it.
Oh, okay, no, this is straight-up like a horror movie now.
Too much polka make Chancey go gaga.
[narrator] Well, the pals have hit a breaking point.
They're gonna stop being pals for sure! More Pal-tercations coming up in...
-The Pal House. -Dino, what have we done?
I dunno, Cup, but I feel terrible.
[Chance] Ha-ha-ha! How do you like it, parrots?!
[sighing] I thought we'd come in here and be the best Pal House pals ever.
-I never thought it would go so wrong. -It should've been fun. Best-friends fun!
Only one glass of lemonade for six pals? That's just wrong.
We just wanted to hang with our best friends and family.
And now everyone we love is angry at each other and,
if I'm being honest, acting pretty loopy.
This terrible house has pushed us all to our limits.
I'm afraid we might've lost our friends forever.
-No way, guys. We're with you. -Yeah.
-What he said. -Yeah, totally.
-Hey. We didn't know you were there. -We'll always be there for you.
We don't need some house to tell us we're best pals.
[narrator] Um, yes, you do. You really do.
Only one Pal in the confessional at a time. Please vacate.
There's pizza in the other room with one-too-few slices.
No! We're done with this place. Forever!
-You didn't have to break our brushes. -Yeah, those aren't cheap.
Sorry. I tried to be symbolic.
Thanks for being the best friends in the world.
-Now let's get outta here! -[narrator] No.
Return to your rooms. You can't go. No one leaves Pal House still being pals!
Stop there! Nobody beats Pal House! The Pal House always wins!
Sorry, viewers. This week's Pal House
is gonna be cut short on account of we don't care anymore!
Yeah! True friendship isn't about pushing each other's limits.
It's about sticking together.
And not making people drink oatmeal like it's a beverage!
Maybe keep that and... maybe remember that.
-Grandma Steak, if you'll do the honours. -With pleasure.
-[narrator] No, no, no, no, no!! -Hi...ya!!
No!!! No, no, no, no! [sobbing]
-Yes. -Be sure to shop at Goody Bag!
Have you recently been on a bad reality show
that ruined your friendships and an entire house?
Call me, Peetree Gluck III,
and I'll come down and get someone else to clean up for you.
Hello? Sorry to bother you. I think I left my schedule book in here.
-[siren blaring] -That's not good.
-[polka music] -Guys? Guys?
-Hello?! -[narrator] And then there was one.
[Hugo] Alone with my thoughts. [whispering] That's the worst place to be.
[techno music]
