Come on, Cup, bagging Gs is glorious!
You gotta connect more with the customers.
Check this out. Boop! Good day. How are you?
I'm buying ointment for an everywhere rash.
Thanks for asking.
[whispering] Connection...
And how are you today, madam?
My dog only eats carrots. It's costing me a fortune!
[whispering] Connection...
[retching] She's lying.
[whispering] Deception...
-Sirs! Big news! -Wait!
[Dino] Boop! Okay, go.
You got a gig working as DJs at Big City Radio!
-The late night shift! -Yes!
Cup and Dino, radio stars! Oh, I like the way I just said that!
And I like the sound of this! Boop! And I'm out!
Scanned it all, ladies and gentlemen!
[on PA] Scanned it all. Scanned the Gs.
Scanned your Bs. That's butts.
Scanned your butts.
[Dino] Wow! Big City Radio...
All the greats have worked here: Dom and Jon...
Jon and Tom...
Jon, Dom, Jeff and Tom...
Albert.
-He wasn't the best. -No, he was not.
Psst. Over here! I'm not tall... at all! Clap for me!
[faint clapping]
They call me Gene Nuts.
Nuts 'cause I'm zany, and Gene 'cause she named me.
That's my mommy! And I'm your boss!
Watch me walk backwards. Oh!
[crashing]
-Um. Mr. Nuts... We, uh-- -You guys are gonna be great.
Just be yourselves but interesting, dynamic and perfect.
-Questions? -Only one. How do we radio?
It's a podcast for ancient people! Just talk into the mic
and Big City listens.
Boop! I'm in here now.
We're on the air in 5...
-Follow my lead, Dino. I got this. -[countdown continues]
I'm glad somebody's got something 'cause I have no idea what's going on
-but I like this guy, I think. -[ding!]
-[jingle] -It's Cupcake and Dino at 4 a.m.!
[Cupcake clears throat] Okay. How to General Service.
[Cupcake] Chapter 1: A General Service is a service, generally, that--
Holy moly! I'm asleep over here! And so is the audience!
Do something!
-Okay. We've got physical bits, -[honking]
but I don't think that'll work over the airwaves.
A flashing button! A flashing button!
-Uh... -[woman] Hello?
Hi! How can we help?
I have a neighbour who keeps eating hot pies off my window sill.
Uh-huh, yeah.
-And are they your pies? -No. They're his.
But he puts them there and it makes me hungry.
Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, that neighbour should give you
a pie for your troubles, I think. I mean, it's your window sill.
-You can call it rent! -I never thought of it that way.
Thanks, Dino!
You're a hit! Keep going!
Ah, okay. [clears throat]
You're on the air with Cup and Dino!
-How can we help? -[honking]
[Gene] That was our new superstars, Cupcake and Dino!
You were amazing in there, Dino. How did you know how to do that?
Ah, I just listened, Cup.
[whispering] Connection.
There they are! Our radio stars!
[doors dinging]
-[unsticking himself] -Can I have your autograph?!
[chuckling]
This is an egg.
Besides, Dino was the hero of the radio show. Not me.
That is nonsense. Every good DJ has a wingman.
You just need a catchphrase.
How about: "Doink. I made a fart!"
-What? No! -"Let me nibble on that!"
-No! -"Wah-wah, I'm a baby. Not!"
-Grandma! -You know,
your Uncle Chance used to be a star, just like you guys.
Mo-om...!
Under that old paper bag is a mane of long, flowing, ginger hair!
And he used to model it on the cover of romance novels.
-Like this! -[horse neighing]
[Dino] I read that. It's exhilarating.
[gasping] Uncle Chance, you were a book hunk?
Of course I was.
But I don't want to talk about it, ever!
Let's talk about the new stars in the family.
Your show's a hit! The sky's the limit!
Then we'll only stop... at the sky!
[both] Yes!
-What's going on?! -Ah!
-Why aren't we moving?! -I can't move!
-Why are we floating...?! -I can't fall! I can't fall!
[both screaming]
['80s pop music]
[ding!]
[no audible dialogue]
['80s pop music continues]
-[horns tooting] -[Gene] Guys!
Big news! You're so hot.
I'm giving you the 6:10 a.m. time slot!
[gasping] That's almost when people wake up!
'Cause of that, I need you to amp it up. Juicier topics, splashier stories.
Maybe throw in some gossip! Got it?
-[thud!] -Boop! I'm in here now.
I don't know, Cup. I don't want to "amp it up."
I like helping people.
You heard Gene. We need to make a splash.
Talk about all the stuff people tell you!
You know, your... [whispering] "connections."
People tell me their problems because they trust me.
It'll be fine, and we'll be super popular.
[jingle playing]
-[whispering] Say something, Dino! -Um. Okay...
Hey... Big City. We're gonna start off with some...
-juicy gossip! -[deep echo] Juicy gossip!
Uh... Oh, I've got one!
My, uh... Uncle Chance used to be a famous cover model
and he has long, gorgeous hair under his paper bag!
-[whispering] Was that good? -[whispering] That was so good!
Oh, oh! The whole town's listening!
Gossip works!
I'm over here now.
-Oh! -Ah!
[Dino] And that's why Horse and Pig broke up.
Pig wanted to move to a mud pile but Horse is a city animal,
through and through.
That's the story that Pig and Horse told me in confidence
that they asked me not to repeat.
-[horn tooting] -Until next time, Gossips!
Keep your hands in your face and your face in your place. Boo-ya!
That was some prime gossip, Dino! I don't know how you do it.
Yeah... Great.
Hey, Cup. It's neat that everyone likes our show
and I love my beard and this stool-on-wheels,
but I think we might be making some people feel kinda... bad.
What? Nah. The town's eating it up, Dino!
Besides, if they really feel bad,
they can call in and talk about it on our show! It's a win-win.
[crowd] Show us the hair! Show us the hair!
Was this mob here when we left?
Huh. Not like Uncle Chance to close early.
Quick, get in!
-What's going on, Grandma? -[woman] Hair!
Is there a sale on corn? Everyone loves corn.
It isn't the corn, boys.
Though yes, corn is on sale and it's sweet and tasty.
Aisle five, three for two bucks.
Ever since Dino mentioned Chance's past on the radio,
mobs have been coming to marvel at his mop.
But he's a different man now. A grocery man.
Or at least, he was...
[both] Was?!
He's gone. Couldn't handle the attention.
And he closed the store down... forever!!!
[gasping] Oh no! What have we done?!
-Come on, Dino! Let's go find him! -Go!
Bring my baby home!
[chewing] I'm so worried.
[Cupcake] Okay, where would Uncle Chance go to hide?
It's no use!
That wasn't even mine...
We've been staring at this map for seconds now...
and nothing, Cup, nothing!
Boop! I'm in your home now, and I got big news!
The gossip format is a hit! I'm giving you an even better time: 5 p.m.!
The traffic rush!
That's the biggest audience on radio!
Exactly! And I'm giving you a new name: The Gossip Goblins.
But that... that sounds pretty... Does that sound negative to you?
Yeah! Thanks! No one in Big City will go ungossiped.
But I wanna do the show the old way, where we just helped people.
[Gene, mockingly] "I wanna do the show the old way where..."
[whining unintelligibly] No!
If you don't like it, I'll replace you with someone else.
-Like him! -I could talk about plants...
Or anyone else!
Fine! You know what? We don't want to do your stinking radio sh--
-No, we'll do it! -What?!
[mumbling] Dino...
[indistinct whispering]
[robotically] We love gossip and goblins and hurting everyone all the time.
That's right. You do. And don't forget it.
Boop! I'm going out the door now!
See you shortly.
[Gene] Remember, boys. You're big stars now.
The Gossip Goblins!
Yes. Goblins. I like it.
[whispering] Dino, you're gonna have to act better if you want your plan to work.
I'm trying. I've never lied before.
Let's crush some hearts, you beefy losers!
Not bad.
[jingle] The Gossip Goblins! -[horn tooting]
Big City! It's time
to give you what you want. A heaping helping...
-[lowers volume] -of other people's horrible gossip!
[Dino] We've got some embarrassing stuff that's sure to crush lives...
lives... lives...
Spill it! Spill those beans!
-Here's your gossip, goblins: -[deep inhale]
I talk to my pillow at night.
I pretend he's a director
and I'm the hero in his three-hour film about bedtime.
-It's true. -[laughter]
[Cupcake] I stand on a phone book in front of a mirror
and watch myself sing rock songs.
[chuckling] Okay, it's three phone books and they're love ballads. It's true.
What are they doing?
[Cupcake] Sometimes I dress up as a deer and walk in the forest.
[Dino] I hate maps. There. I said it.
Stop! Don't make fun of yourselves!
You'll lose the audience!
I use my brother's toothbrush to clean my toes.
-Yeah! Wait. What? -Most importantly,
to our Uncle Chance,
-we're sorry we got carried away. -[raises volume]
We're done with the gossip. We want you to come home.
[horse neighing]
Let's hoof it! Hyah!
Stop! Stop this right now!
With pleasure...
Oh, and one more thing.
-[farting] -[Cupcake] Doink. I made a fart.
Oh-ho-ho!!! [laughing]
You weren't there, but that's from before.
Uncle Chance! You came back!
On a horse!
I heard what you did on your old-timey podcast, boys.
-[both] Radio. -Whatever.
I want you to know... it meant a lot.
You spilling my secrets in front of millions of people meant a lot too,
but in a "those guys stink" kind of way.
I'm sorry I embarrassed you, Uncle Chance.
I won't do it again. Ever.
How can I know for sure?
[Dino gasps]
-[Cupcake gasps] -[horse neighing]
That's a fine start.
Now can we go home?
I loaned Hugo a map and I miss it more than I thought.
-[whispering] Oopsie-doodoo... -[wind picking up]
-[horse neighing] -[romantic music]
Hyah!
[coughing]
We're all going the same way. He could've given us a lift...
Same direction, it's... You know, it's a big horse.
Zoooorvy! You sneaky lil' pixelated cutey... Where are you?
I need to find Zorv!
Ahem... Dino?
Don't talk to me unless you're the Zorv. Wait!
-Are you the Zorv? -What?
-No. -Okay. You check out. Now, Zorv.
It's just, you've been playing that internet game for days now.
Can we please go have some real fun?
Outside? You know? Remember that?
-It's your favourite. -Outside does not exist.
There is only Zorv.
Only Zorv.
[sighing] At least explain how this game works.
Oh, I thought you'd never ask. Okay, so,
you catch critters until you beat the final level
and release the Zorv fairy.
Honestly, Cup, get in the now.
I mean, every one of my 11 million internet friends are trying to catch her.
-The Zorv fairy. -[Hugo] Um, guys?
[gasping] Zorv?!
Why do I keep thinking the Zorv will be in the real world?
Hey, would either of you run lines with me?
I'm taking an acting course.
I shall be auditioning for my first play
and I needeth the practice...
-Any takers? -Another time, Hugo.
Maybe at dinner.
-You got to Level 39! Time to save Zorv. -[Dino gasps]
I'm gonna save Princess Zorv!
I'm really gonna save her.
Cup, hold me.
This is the most important moment of my life... or at least the last few days!
What? No!
-[frantic clicking] -No.
-[frantic clicking] -No!
-Cup, Hugo, plug your ears. -Okay.
[screaming] Nooo!!!
[normal voice] Keep 'em plugged.
[screaming] Nooo!!!
[screaming continues]
-Third time's a charm? -I'm out.
Hey, that was pretty good.
-Plug 'em, plug 'em! -Okay!
[screaming] Nooo!!!
[Dino moaning]
[phone ringing]
General Services HQ. What is thine issue?
-Hey! That was pretty good. -You don't think it was too much?
[Dino yelling]
Um, hello? It's Vicky.
Are you guys okay over there?
[trembling voice] So cold without pixelated... blanket of Zorv...
All that exists now is real world.
Subpar real world!
Yeah, everything's as it always is.
Yeah, good! Uh, I have a gig for you.
The internet is down in all of Big City!
-[alarm sounding] -Ah! I need help.
Ah! Finally!
A reason to get Dino outside! We're on it!
[sobbing] Zorv...
-[sobbing] -It's okay, Dino.
[crowd booing]
[man in crowd] We want Zorv! We want Zorv!
Are they booing us or just booing in general?
[man] Boo!
In general!
That's better. I prefer that.
Well, we prefer when the Internet is working...
-So we can play Zorv! -Wait a sec.
-You all play Zorv too? -Yes! Among other things...
Ahem. In addition to Zorv, the internet being down also impacts:
academic research,
online correspondence,
banking/economy, fart-noise generators.
Right! Farts!
But yeah, honestly, mostly Zorv!
We want Zorv! Now!
-[crowd cheering] -[Dino clapping]
[Vicky, softly] Cupcake! Dino! In here! Hurry!
-Oooh! Secret door! -Cool!
[Dino panting]
They're running!
-We should run too! -[indistinct grunting]
[both panting]
Phew! That was close...
Uh... what are you up to down here, Vicky? Everything okay?
Yeah. Why are you... I wanna say
-tickle-punching that wall? -[alarm blaring]
Yeah, well, uh, it's interesting, guys, because I'm internetting.
The internet took off, so I'm trying to do her job.
And it's impossible.
-Let me try. -[clicking]
[all gasping]
[increasingly loud alarm]
-[buzzing, popping] -[powering off]
-No, that is hard. Yeah. -Right?
Wait. What do you mean "her" job? The internet isn't a living thing.
Oh, really? Yeah, tell that to her parents...
[Dino] Aw! She's a cutey!
Also... [diabolical voice] Where is she?
I need to Zorv now!
Here, she left a note.
"Hi, Mayor! Sorry, but I need a break.
All the searches, and celebrity gossip, and fart-generator websites..."
-I got that one bookmarked, yup. -Premium site.
"It's too much! Everyone uses The Internet to have fun.
But when does The Internet get to have fun?"
Now. The answer is now. Because she's gone.
"I've gone up Big City Mountain to have some fun of my own."
That's all she wrote.
Other than a scribbled recipe for chicken bread.
Dibs on that!
Okay, guys, I need you to help me bring back The Internet.
Otherwise, Big City's web will be down...
forever!
We're on it, Vicky!
[crowd's muffled shouting]
Uh... maybe we should get out of here first?
Ho-ho! What kind of music do you think they'll play in here?
Smooth jazz? Jazz fusion?
Blues-jazz? Jazz-jazz?
-Bebop? -[reggae music playing]
Reggae!
They went with reggae. Nice.
Bow. Curtsy.
Flowers. [gasping] For me?
Hey, great! You're here!
-I could really use help with my acting. -No time, Hugo!
That mob of net-hungry freaks is after us!
And we have an Internet to save
and force to let me play Zorv! That's important too!
I don't know what you're talking about but I respect your priorities.
-Dino, I know you want to play Zorv. -Correct.
Okay. And doing anything else is hard right now.
100%. Right on the money there.
Okay, yeah, but I really need you to focus
and help me and Cupcake find The Internet.
-Can I count on you? -Let me just noodle that for a sec.
[whispering] Still not working.
You can count on me, Vicky!
[banging, crowd shouting]
Guys! We gotta move!
-[loud crash] -[yelling]
Where are they? We want The Internet back now!
Woe is me!
Hark, you're too late! They're g-g-gone!
Do any of you have interest in running some lines with me?
-[sighing] -I'm doing these acting classes and...
Bravo! Bravo!
[sniffing loudly]
-[bird call] -[Vicky] Whoo!
It's nice to get out of the office.
I can really appreciate where The Internet is coming from,
-you know? -[Dino gasping]
This part of the mountain reminds me of the last level of Zorv.
Oh, I'm just gonna zone out for a sec. Soak it up.
Tut-tut-tut! Dino, I thought we agreed
we'd take a break from talking about the game
-I will not name. -Zorv! Argh...
Ugh. We did. Sorry. I just can't get it out of my head, Vicky.
-[disembodied] Shh! -Did that bush just shush me? Be honest.
You got shushed by a bush?
[voice] Can you keep it down?
I'm in the middle of something over here.
[gasping] The Internet? Is that you?
Hi, Vicky! [laughing]
What's up? [chuckling]
Ah, what's up? Uh, uh, oh, yeah, okay,
how about the whole town is going nuts
'cause you took off and left them gameless?
I'm Dino. Love your work, BTW.
Hoping you can help me with an itch that needs a scratch.
[Cupcake and Vicky] Dino!
Ah! Can you guys...
excuse me for one sec?
I found you, Inty! You're it!
You gotta catch me first! [laughing]
-Well, I guess she found her fun. -[moose grunting]
You're it.
-Oh, snap! Dino's it! -Thanks, but we're not playing.
Guys! We're supposed to be fixing the web so I can do important things I love,
remember?
-Or we can have some real fun! -Real fun! Come on, Dino! Fun!
[Cupcake and Vicky giggling and whispering]
[grunting]
Fine... But just for a minute!
-Then, I Zorv! -[light pop music]
[no audible dialogue]
[doorbell ringing]
Hey, a doorbell is not a toy!
It's not a toy!
Whoo!
This is the best day of my life!
-I'm glad you had fun, The Internet. -Me too.
I feel amazing! Thanks, friends.
I needed a reminder of what real fun can be.
[shouting] I feel so alive!
So do I! I feel so alive!
I'm also alive and I feel it!
Uh, I'm not really a
scream-for-joy-off-a-mountain kinda guy.
Oh, come on. What harm could it do?
Fine.
I feel reasonably alive as well!
[woman] There it is again! I heard the little dessert one.
[all] Cupcake!
It's the mob. You blew our cover!
What!? You told me to shout! I shouted! It doesn't matter.
We need a plan, and fast.
There! The Internet!
We can play Zorv again!
Oh, hey guys!
Yeah, look, we found her!
And she's totally ready to go back to work. Right, The Internet?
Oh yeah, for sure.
Let's just head back down the hill and... Hey!
I'm sorry, guys! I have to play more Zorv.
Fun is fun, but Zorv is everything!
-Dino, no! -How could you?
Just a bit more...
Almost there... I did it!
I freed Zorv!
[disappointed grunts from the mob]
[disembodied voice] Stop!
It's over!
I am Zorv, princess of Azrothula.
[crowd gasping]
My hero Dinosaur has released me.
The game is done.
Your reward: I will share with you the guarded secret of Zorv.
Yes, please!
Every hero needs his friends. And to see the world.
And to play in the wild.
-That is what is to be learned from Zorv. -[all] Aah!
There will be no more game playing of any kind.
Except for non-Zorv playing. You should totally do that.
-Understand the Zorv? -[all] Understand the Zorv.
Good. Hugs and kisses. Zorvy out.
It's over. Zorv is over. But the real fun has just begun!
You heard the Zorv!
Let's follow her wishes and play in the wild.
-You're it! -[all laughing]
Good job, "Zorv." Quite a performance.
-You don't think I laid it on too thick? -It was perfect, Hugo.
You're a great actor.
You did great too, Dino.
Let's get out of here before they catch on to us.
-Last one to the bottom is a rotten egg! -Oh. I'm...
not really a rotten-egg game guy. So...
Okay. Yeah. For sure. For sure.
Enjoy your new title then, Dr. Rotten Egg. [Dino laughing]
-[Cupcake] I'm not a rotten-egg game guy. -[all laughing]
-[Dino] Yeah! -[Cupcake] Guys!
[soft video-game music]
