01x08 - Out of Luck

[bunniefuu]

no no good it won't work can't use this

not this either

what are you looking for dad

won't know till i find it

that's the way it is with art clover

inspiration is the father of genius gee

it must be great to be a sculptor

now this might work look what i found

now you can start your own sculpture i

have another idea

i just thought it would make a neat

symbol for a club i read a story once

about an old lamp somebody named aladdin

found and it turned out to be magic

i read that story in the library aladdin

rubbed the lamp and he got three wishes

wow a magic teapot

go ahead clover make a wish okay here

goes

i wish i wish it would rain a jillion

jangles

that's a good one

it's really truly coming true

these aren't jangles it's raining real

rain

i thought we were gonna be rich not wet

here's marky sticky glue

send it up

hurry up i've got a great deal of

homework to do hey globe why don't you

make another wish so we can all go home

okay

maybe it'll work this time

i was only joking

i wish

our tea house would fix itself so we

could all go home

did it work

let's go overboard

gee

looks like my good luck turned bad

oh gee

what happened to the good old days

once upon a time

fortune smiled on me

now i find i'm stuck

completely out of luck

life's as bleak as it can be

strange how quickly things can change

one false move you take a tumble

one day tulips are in bloom

next day it's all blue men do

almost seems a crime

with fortunes piled on me

how my heart would soar if i could feel

once more

the way it used to be

oh no

clover look what you've done

sorry mom

it was an accident you clean up this

mess right now then go to your room is

that clear

yes mother

maybe this is all just a bad dream

it's you it's your fault

i wish i'd never found you

hey look at this it must have got tossed

out by mistake

uh sorry to bother you man but i found

this in the trash it's so nice i thought

maybe you didn't mean to throw it away

why you're right it belongs to clover i

can't wait till she gets home from

school she'll be so glad you found it

thank you

mom

i'm home

oh no

hello dear mom what's that doing here

well i i thought you threw it away by

mistake it wasn't a mistake i don't want

it

well i can't understand why it's a

perfectly nice teapot

how was school

all right what happened

it's from miss hackney

miss hackney says you didn't do your

homework last night oh it was all

because of that stupid teapot i couldn't

concentrate it's done nothing but give

me bad luck ever since i got it and

clover not doing your homework has

nothing to do with bad luck sorry but

you're grounded for the rest of the day

grounded

oh

let's see

the numerator goes into the denominator

no that's not right

the denominator goes into the numerator

oh i can't even think straight

that's it i've had it with you

good riddance

your father was so busy with his work i

hardly saw him today did he finish that

last sculpture not yet he's worried sick

he won't make the opening tomorrow night

that'll come through he always does can

i put the cucumber in now fire away

what's going on

hey easy

i'm on your side

oh sorry

i'll get it

are you clover's father that's me

i think this belongs to your daughter

clover i have something of yours

it's back you threw this into paradise

lake i hate it i don't want it

i don't want to see it again ever

calm down dear it's only a teapot

that's no excuse you can't just throw

things into the lake you don't want we

have to protect our environment you know

that

right now i have to protect me i'm sorry

clover that attitude is simply

unacceptable go to your room

but now

come in

i know you banished me to my room for

the rest of my life but i need to talk

to you

sure what's on your mind well i i just

wanted you to know that i understand

about pollution but i was desperate

clover this teapot has nothing to do

with your luck yes it does get it away

from me

luck is very often nothing more than the

result of hard work and being in the

right place at the right time well when

i found that piece of junk i was

definitely in the wrong place at the

wrong time clover what

i've got an idea you said you didn't

want it no dad you can't do this

it's bad luck please don't put it there

please

perfect just what i've been looking for

i'm ready for the show

not

who are all these ponies hopefully

they'll buy my dad's sculptures

hey clove isn't this your teapot uh-huh

it's just haunting me

perhaps you could tell me something

about this one well actually it's my

most recent piece

i hope she doesn't see the teapot hmm my

my what an extraordinary work of art i

simply adore your use of everyday items

to convey a sense of immediacy and

familiarity at the same time

illustrating the wastefulness of our

society why thank you that's exactly

what i had in mind

and this teapot oh i knew it it's a

stroke of genius i don't believe it

until we discuss the price of course

right this way

she's actually gonna buy it your

father's gonna become famous gee i guess

that default was good luck after all on

the other hand dear maybe the sculpture

sold because it was good not because the

teapot was lucky well maybe it was lucky

that the sculpture was good let's just

say that sometimes it's good to be lucky
