03x08 - A Little Evil

[bunniefuu]

Yes, my talented art students,

express yourselves!

Reach out
with your imaginations!

Be bold! Be brave!

Be... ooh!

Not that brave, Flounder.

Oh... ariel,

I see your statue
of a square rock

is coming along just fine.

Ah, Sebastian, I can't
decide what to make.

Well, perhaps
you need inspiration.

Go out into the kingdom

and find something
that excites you.

Oh, great.

I'll look for a new, fresh idea.

Yes!

Eh, you could use some
inspiration, too, Flounder.

Today, son, we begin
your lessons in evil.

Zappers!

I want to be just as rotten
as you are, popsie.

Um... I've told you before,
little evil,

puh-lease don't
call me... Popsie.

Sorry, popsie.

Let's begin today's lesson

with evil glaring.

♪ Doo Dee dot boop doo Dee... ♪

Uh-oh.

Nyah ha ha ha ha!

Hah. A little evil manta.

Hey, don't you glare at me.

Oh, go ahead. Try to scare me.

Aah!

This evil stuff's gonna be easy!

Nothing wrong with a parent

helping his kid
with his homework.

Oh, I can't think
of a single thing

for my art class project.

You could make a statue
of a little yellow fish.

I wanna make something... Wild.

Something no one in
atlantica has ever seen before.

You're old enough now

to enter my chamber of evil.

Someday, all of this
will be yours.

Ah, the jar of screams.

The ring of fear.

And most important of all...

The evil eye.

It's how you find good things

the need evil attention, right?

Yes.

Evil, evil, evil eye,

show me things I must destroy.

Ugh! Too easy!

Ew! Too trivial.

Ha ha! Ha ha!

Hey, they're laughing
kinda... Different.

You laugh... Hah hah hah!

And they laugh... Hee hee hee!

What does it mean, popsie?

Um, nothing,
it means nothing, son.

Why don't you go outside
and play with someone's mind.

Daddy has to go to work.

Art sure is funny,
isn't it, Flounder.

Funny?

If you think too hard
about it, nothing comes out.

I guess I should just relax
and let inspiration come to me.

Ha ha ha!

It's an evil manta.

But he's... Little.

I've never seen
a little one before.

Me, either.

You don't suppose there's
a big evil manta around?

Hey, stop that!
How would you like it

if someone pulled your tail?

Just let 'em try!

Hmm.

Have you ever been to school?

Nah. My dad teaches me
everything I need to know.

How would you like to go
to school with us in atlantica?

I want you to model
for my art class sculpture.

No one's ever made
a statue of a manta,

especially a baby one.

Baby?

You're asking for an evil glare!

Aieeee!

Aren't you afraid of me?

Nah.

Well, you should be.

I've heard about this school.

I hear it's a really good
place to make trouble,

be really bad.

Sounds great! Can't wait!

I won't have no
evil mantas in my class!

Not even little
evil mantas, man.

But Sebastian, what
about that famous saying,

"all t'ings have
a right to learn"?

Who said that?

You did, Sebastian.

Oh, man.

There I go, sh**ting off my
big crustacean mouth again.

All right,
you little evil manta,

you can be in my art class,
but you must participate.

Zappers! Sounds
great! Can't wait!

What's "participate"?

It means, young manta, you
must become an artist, too.

Here. Take this paintbrush
and use the paint to...

Paint something.

Mmm-mmm.

Very good.

Good? I'm not good!

I'm evil, just like my dad.

Hey!

Like my dad always says,

Ha ha ha!

What do you think
of that, teach?

You blew it, man.

Now get out of my class!

Aah!

Little evil! Wait!

Wait for what?

Aw, come on.
Apologize to Sebastian.

You know, he can teach
you wonderful things.

My dad'll teach me what
evil mantas need to know.

I could teach you
to draw with your tail.

Nah.

Really?

Shoo! You little evil manta!

School is out for you, man!

Aw, come on, Sebastian.

Won't you give little evil
a second chance?

No! Never!

Never! Never in a million tides!

Oh, you've got
a big heart, Sebastian.

Okay, okay, don't get all mushy.

The kid's got talent, from
the scales on his head

to the tip of his tail.

Well, I gotta go. Popsie
wants me home before dark.

How sweet.

So we can haunt you,
give you nightmares!

Boggley-boggley!

Aah! I told you to stop that!

He'll be back.

Of course he will.

Old Sebastian has
to suffer for his art.

What a miserable day at work.

"Go away, evil manta."

"We're not going to listen
to you, evil manta."

If I hear that again,
I'm gonna scream!

Were you a bad boy today, son?

The worst, popsie.

I'm so proud.

Tuck me in, please?

Now, little evil,

is that any way
to talk to your father?

Oh, sorry.

Waah! Tuck me in!

Tuck me in, or I'll
destroy this whole cave!

Ahh! Aw, is it any wonder
my heart melts?

Art?

My son, dabbling
in something good, like...

Art?

Grrr!

It's that little mermaid!

Huh?

Waah! I wanna go to school!

I wanna go to school!

Now don't try to charm me
with wicked behavior,

little evil.

Hanging around with
that little mermaid is,

w-well, it's not bad.

But I like art, popsie,

and Ariel said I had
a good imagination.

I knew it!

That little mermaid
is putting good thoughts

into your evil little head.

Grrr... go to your room!

I'll deal with that mermaid
in my own way.

Evil manta, heh,
you sent for me?

My son wants
this letter delivered

to that little mermaid.

The one with the red hair
and all the goofy little friends?

The same.

And, morey, make it quick.

See that guy over there? That's
me going over that distant hill.

I'll stop that mermaid
from messing with my son's mind.

If anyone's gonna be
messing with minds,

it's gonna be me!

Ahh, brain sponge,

have a nice nap?

I thirst.

I thirst for a brain...

Yum yum yum!

To drain.

Yes, well, I have
someone in... Mind,

someone ripe for your thirst.

You will soak up her thoughts

and imagination.

I thirst for thoughts!

I thirst for... Imagination.

Imagine that! Heh heh heh!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

I can't believe it.

Believe it, Ariel.

Look you can see where
his hot little tail

did all the damage.

That little evil manta
destroyed our art class.

He really is evil,

just like his dad.

There's good inside little evil.

I can feel it. He just needs...

A chance?

We gave him too many
chances already, Ariel.

I don't ever wanna see
his tail here again!

I understand.

Oh, little mermaid,
I gotta letter for ya

from, uh... Little evil manta.

Thanks, morey.

Huh.

Little evil wants me
to meet him tonight

at cobra cave.

Little evil manta?

Um, you in here?

It's Ariel!

Yes, and it's going
to be deliciously evil

to capture her.

Evil manta, what are you doing?

Evil, of course.

Ahem. Don't go away.

I'll return in no time to...

Take a load... Off your mind.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha...

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Little evil, um,
you're not laughing.

I don't wanna hurt Ariel.

What? Has that mermaid
turned you into a goody-goody?

Go to your room!

Come, my evil brain sponge.

We have brains... To sponge.

Ha ha ha ha!

I need this mermaid's
imagination! Must have!

Ha ha ha!

Oh, it's no use.

Little evil!

Ariel! I've come to rescue you.

You didn't write me this
letter, did you, little evil.

My dad musta done it.

Wow. I'll never be
as evil as he is.

I've gotta save you
from that brain sponge!

Brain sponge?

I know I'm doing...
A good thing,

but please don't tell my dad.

Oh, you've got it!

I like you, Ariel.

I don't want the brain sponge

to soak up your imagination.

Me, either!

I thirst for imagination!

Oh! It's your dad!

And that's gotta be
his famous brain sponge.

Let's get outta here!

I know where we can hide!

Time for dinner, brain sponge.

Hope you like mermaid mind...

She's gone!

We must find her!

I thirst for imagination!

This valley is filled
with octopus ink.

This is a good place
to hid from my dad.

Oh, I used that word
"good" again.

Aw, little evil, you're
so afraid of being good.

My dad doesn't want me
to be good.

You can be anything
you want to be.

It's the brain sponge!

Come on, he'll never find us
in the dark!

I'm not sure the dark

is the best place
to hide from evil.

Come, brain sponge.

Follow the scent
of her imagination!

I thirst!

I need this mermaid's
imagination!

Oh!

Don't they ever get tired?

My dad's really strong.

Oh, that brain sponge is
in pretty good shape, too.

We'll hide up there,
where the currents swirl.

Maybe they're gone.

Son! What are you doing here?

You've been helping that
little mermaid, haven't you.

Yes.

Prove to me you're evil, son.

Tell me where she is.

I... I...

I won't tell you.

Where is he?

I smell imagination!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Now I will drain your brain!

Well, uh, too... too bad
you're wasting your time

o-on a small imagination
like mine.

Huh?

When you could have

the juiciest imagination
of them all...

Of someone who thinks up
all those...

Evil schemes?

Uh... I thirst for imagination.

Evil imagination!

Ha ha ha ha!

Dad, look out!

Little evil! Help me!

Dad!

Aah!

Uh-oh.

Yeow!

You...

You saved me.

No one's imagination
should be taken away,

not even yours.

You're welcome at school
anytime, little evil.

Just get your dad's
permission first.

Oh, he'll let me go to school

if he knows what's bad for him.

Ha ha ha ha!
