Otis, I need to talk to you for a minute.
You got it, star performer, without whom, we have no show!
Otis, I can't do the triple flipperoo.
[shocked] What? But you said you could! Wow, what a liar.
No, I mean, I won't do it. Not after... that terrible night. [looks up]
What's over there? What are you looking at?
[A flashback shows Abby performing her trick at circus camp. The crowd chants as she flips in the air.]
[Abby catches the other trapeze, and reaches out to catch her partner, a horse, but she misses, causing the horse to fall.]
HHorse
Abby... WHYYY...?!
[Abby watches in horror as the horse crashes to the ground. Back in the present day...]
Get horribly injured? No. He was okay, though he still smiles at the wrong things.
[The Farmer sees a crowd of people outside the barn, chanting "Weevils!", as in Otis' band.]
Weevils? The only bugs I truly fear! To the weevil shelter!
Where have you guys been? We're on live in 20 minutes.
Sorry, Peck. Freddy tossed the limo driver out of the car.
I told him not to look me in the eye. And would you please refer to me by my new name, this? [shows an abstract symbol on a piece of paper]
[spits out bottled water] What is this?! I specifically requested spring water from a Peruvian glacier. This is from some other dumb glacier!
[enters] Greetings, all. I'd like you to meet my entourage.
Hey! How come he gets an entourage?!
Pig, that's not an entourage, that's just an old goat.
Yeah, well, that's one more goat than you got, sweetheart.
I could've gotten a goat. [the three start arguing] I can get a goat! I can get a goat any time...
So go get one. I don't see you getting a goat.
[enters in a flashy suit, top hat, and sunglasses, speaking in a British accent] Ahem! Hello, mates. Are you all ready for tonight's telly broadcast? Huh? What-what? Big Ben. Fish and chips.
Otis, what are you talking like a pirate for?
And what's with the new clothes? You're gonna upstage everyone!
Sorry, blokes. I can't hear ya. As it turns out, I'm a huge rock star, right on!
[Everyone starts arguing as Pip records.]
Don't look me in the eyes.
Great stuff. Great stuff!
[Everyone keeps arguing.]
STOP IT!!! Just look at what success has done to us! [sobs] I thought we were all friends. I thought each of us contributed to our sound. Are you too self-centered to see that stardom... [voice breaking] ...is tearing us apart?
I'm sorry, what do you play again?
[normal voice] It's a thing that makes a noise. Why, it's clangy, is it?
Give us the first letter.
Is it bigger than a breadbox?
[fed up] That's it, I'm outta here! And I'm taking my triangle... with me!
Oh, I got it! It's a triangle!
Wait! Peck, come on, don't run out on us now! [the door slams]
Those breadbox players are real whackjobs, aren't they?
AAll
Happy birthday, Freddy!
You guys, you shouldn't have!
Don't be silly, Freddy. You're family. Oh, and speaking of family, we invited your parents and they're gonna be here any minute!
[horrified] AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
Wow, he really is surprised!
Otis, my parents can NOT come here! You have to uninvite them!
Uninvite--? Freddy, they totally miss you. They can't wait to see you.
[sobs] No, you don't understand! They're not like you and me!
Oh, now, everybody thinks their parents are a little weird, Freddy. Mine put ketchup on their hay.
Yeah, and mine think leprechauns are stealing their gold.
You see? Pig's parents are stupid and crazy.
[Freddy has shooed all the hens out of the henhouse to keep his parents from eating them.]
[unaware of Freddy's intentions] Freddy, what are you doing?! You know I don't like letting the hens out where predators could eat them!
You're right! That would be terrible! [to his parents] Terribly delicious. [to Otis] Oh, why won't those predators leave our poor chick-chicks alone... [to his parents] ...with us, so we can eat them. [to Otis] 'Cause you know how I love to eat chic-- [pauses, then runs away screaming]
[After Freddy has interrupted his parents' slideshow by smashing the projector.]
Alright, Freddy, you got 10 seconds to explain why you're acting like such a blockhead!
[sighs] I should have known I couldn't keep it a secret any longer. [picks up one of the slides] This is a traditional holiday dinner.
[looks at the slide] Yeah, so? It's just you and your folks sitting down to a delicious meal of--AAH, ROASTED ANIMAL!!! [shudders]
Now do you get it?! My parents are freakish, deviant meat-eaters!
Can't believe it. They seemed so nice.
Yeah, when they're not gorging on anything with gizzards and a beak! That's why I never told them about Peck.
[to the sheep] Guys, guys, have any of you seen Peck?
S2Sheep 2
Just now with your parents.
Oh, no! They're gonna put him in the oven and baste him every 10 minutes until golden brown! [calmly] Then, a pinch of brown sugar to taste. For crispier skin, try rotating halfway through cooking time, and for--
[back to panicking] I mean, we gotta save him!
Your parents are great, Fred! They were just giving me the most wonderful steam bath.
Actually, Peck, they were about to cook you and eat you.
Well, sure. They were about to--[yells in shock] WITH THE COOKING AND THE EATING!!!
FMr. Ferret
Son, why are you calling tonight's dinner "Peck"?
Guys, I have something to tell you.
It's okay, Otis. I'm done lying. Mom, Dad, Peck isn't dinner. He's my best friend. And I'm not a voracious chicken-eater! I'm a vegetarian! [his parents gasp] And if you can't deal with that, then I say good day, sir! And Mrs. Sir.
FMr. Ferret
[angrily] Frederick, get over here right NOW... [warmly] ...and give your old man a hug.
[hugs his father] You mean, you're not ashamed of me?
FMrs. Ferret
Oh, honey, of course we are.
FMr. Ferret
Ashamed and disgraced.
FMrs. Ferret
And don't forget humiliated.
FMr. Ferret
We'll probably have to change our names.
FMrs. Ferret
And I'm sure our neighbors will pelt us with trash.
FMr. Ferret
I know I would.
FMrs. Ferret
But as long as you're happy, dear, I guess we could learn to live with it.
FMr. Ferret
I suppose we owe your friend an apology. Sorry we almost ate you, Peck.
Ah, I can't stay mad at you guys.
Group hug! [hugs his parents and Peck]
Okay, whoa, whoa, just whoa! Hold up. [to Freddy] Your parents eat farm animals, [to Freddy's parents] your kid is a vegetarian, [to Peck] your best friend's parents just tried to EAT you, AND YOU'RE ALL COOL WITH THAT?!
Hi, uncle. You readin' the paper?
[to himself] Don't move. They can't see you if you don't move.
[steals Mr. Beady's newspaper] Huh? How's this page? [rips up Mr. Beady's newspaper] Is this a good article? How about this one? Heh? [sees a ship in a bottle next to the TV] Ohhhh! [picks up the bottle] Are you building a ship?
[frantic] No! That took me three days--
Tidal wave! [drops the bottle, and it shatters]
You're boring! They should call you Mr. Boring! I'm gonna go play with the animals next door, Mr. Boring!
Okay, I got your drinks--[Snotty Boy has left; to Mr. Beady] What did you say to him?!
