[seagull squawking]

[Arlo squawking]

[in sing-song] Good morning, birds.

[squawks, laughs]

- Good morning, old rusty sign!

- [screeches]

Another beautiful day

in Seaside by the Seashore,

my new home!

[glass squeaking]

- Good morning, Furlecia!

- Good morning to you, Arlo!

- [squawks]

- [screams]

- Morning, Tony.

- Morning.

Do me a favor,

scream if you see the health inspector.

Deal of the day, folks, buy one slice,

get another one for the same price!

[in sing-song] Good morning,

majestic fountain horse!

- [quietly] Good morning, Marcellus.

- Remove yourself from my fountain at once.

[Arlo laughs slyly]

Bertie, come out! Hurry!

What is it? Who's after you?

The seagulls? I'll end them.

I'm safe, but I appreciate

knowing you got my back.

And guess what?

I got something for our apartment.

Uh, our apartment?

As I've said before, several times,

we're neighbors,

not roommates.

I have my own apartment,

and you have

your own apartment right there.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant.

Mm-hmm.

And we both agreed that having our own

separate spaces would be a good thing.

Remember?

Builds independence.

Psst, I know!

I'm no little swamp baby anymore.

I'm super independent now.

I brush my teeth at least once a month,

which is exactly why I got you something.

[gasps] It's here! Your surprise!

Behold the splendor, baby.

[honks horn] Yo!

What is that?

It's our dreams come true.

[giggles]

My dreams don't look like that.

Alia and I found it on the beach.

Oh! [chuckles nervously]

- What a fun surprise!

- [squishes]

[gasps] It's so wet and soggy.

[both] Yay!

Wet and soggy!

Wet and soggy! Wet and soggy!

- [grunts]

- [couch squishing]

Arlo, I'm so sorry. I didn't

Sorry for what? You made it even better!

Now we can both take a piece.

I was gonna suggest

you guys do joint custody,

but this is much better, trust me.

[phone chimes]

Looks like my shift at Tony's

is about to start two hours ago.

Whoops.

- All right. Have fun, guys.

- [tires squeal]

Bye! Alrighty,

let's move these bad babies inside.

[grunting] Don't worry.

I got this, no help needed here.

[groans]

[straining]

[panting]

Oh! Oh.

There, how's that?

Ah, perfect. This is the most exciting

thing to ever happen to me.

It is very exciting.

- [squeals happily] I knew you love it.

- Thanks for my new couch half.

Wanna a play a game? I got horseshoes.

We can play Kick Ol' Willie Out the Barn.

Actually, I'm gonna go back to my place.

I still have some unpacking to do.

Ah, see?

I was just testing you, and you passed.

[chuckling] Okay.

And the prize for passing this test is,

I'm gonna bake you a pie.

- Want to bake it with me?

- I'll see you later.

All right! Go on!

I've got a lot to do, too.

If you want to hang out

in two minutes, I'll be here.

Got the place all to myself. I like this.

I hope Bertie's not too lonely

all by herself over there.

Hey, Bertie! Think I should

move my couch up to my room?

Um, that's up to you, it's your apartment.

- [loud thud]

- [gasps] Are you okay?

Yeah! Ooph! I just moved

my couch half to the stairs.

Want to come see?

Uh, no thanks!

I'm gonna have some quiet time now.

[Arlo] Okay, me too!

- [couch squishes]

- [sighs]

This is nice.

[panting] Ooh!

This is nice?

[sighs]

Now what?

[phone ringing]

Tony's Pizzeria. Talk fast, time is money.

Hey, Teeny Tiny Tony!

Arlo? Agh!

Quit clogging up the phone line!

What if a real customer

tried to order?

[ringing]

- Tony's Pizzeria, what's your order

- Hi! Me again!

No, wait, don't hang up.

I, uh, I I need to ask you something.

Tony, what dreams would you dare to dream

if you knew you could not fail?

Listen, this line's for customers only!

Okay. Then I shall order a pizza.

What kind's your favorite?

Ugh. I'm not doing this with you.

You're getting a classic.

Ready in 20, great doing business.

But, I I miss him already.

- [doorbell rings]

- [gasps]

Fresh hot pizza delivery!

- Great, want to help me with it?

- Actually, I was hungry, so

I hope you're not.

That's okay.

I'm not really hungry. I just

Gotta run! Tony's mad today.

Got that forehead vein. Bye!

wanted to talk.

Bertie, want to come

have some mostly-eaten pizza?

[calm music playing over headphones]

Okay, you must be busy.

[Furlecia] Spill it. What's bothering you?

I've been giving you

a pageboy cut for two hours,

and every time I say I'm done,

you order another trim.

Well, you see, my hair grows really fast.

Mama, I used to crimp my own bangs.

I know a cry for help when I see one!

[sobs]

[sniffles]

Something is weird with my apartment.

There's so much time and space.

I don't know

what I'm supposed to do all day.

I hear you. Your place

isn't your home until you break it in.

You need to throw a housewarming party!

You announce to the world,

"I am here, my house is warm,

my skin is flawless,

and I am, you guessed it, thriving!"

A housewarming party. That sounds perfect!

Attention, Seasiders!

I'm having a housewarming party!

My skin is flawless! All are welcome.

Come on in, make yourself at home.

Bertie, our housewarming guests

are arriving!

Your housewarming guests, remember?

That's what I meant.

Look at my cool party!

We got a bunch of strangers,

a half a pizza crust,

and I got one cup!

Which you're borrowing from me!

This is great, Arlo.

I'm glad you're settling in.

To be honest,

I was a little worried about you.

It can be lonely

living on your own the first time.

Pssh! That little swamp baby is gone.

I'm grown now! I love being on my own.

Okay, tough guy.

I brought you a housewarming gift.

I have one too,

and it'd be cool

if we hung it on the wall we share.

- [Arlo sobbing]

- Uh, are you okay?

Yes. I love it. Thank you.

Wow. This place is cute.

Where's the music, honey?

You can't expect me not to dance!

[Tony] Ha-ha!

Way ahead of you.

I brought a family heirloom

and it ain't a tomato this time.

I just added some modern adjustments.

[upbeat dance music plays]

- [Tony laughs]

- [Alia] Ah.

Everyone, step aside, I know choreography.

Uh-huh.

Oh, yeah! Oh! Side to side! Oh!

[Arlo] Watch out!

- Move it!

- [Alia chuckles]

- Hey, yeah!

- Yeah!

- [Marcellus chuckles]

- [Arlo] Get it, girl.

- [dog barks]

- [Alia whooping]

- [Arlo] Yeah!

- [Bertie chuckles]

- [Arlo] Whoo-hoo!

- [both laugh]

Let's keep this party going forever!

[cheering, whooping]

[music continues playing]

[crickets chirping]

[music continues]

[thunder crashing]

[muffled music continues playing]

- [Bertie groans]

- [Arlo grunting]

- [Bertie] I don't feel good.

- [snoring]

[groaning]

[groaning weakly to the music]

[sighs weakly]

Ooph. That was really fun, you guys.

I think it's time I head home.

Wait! The party just started.

We've been dancing

for, like, three days straight, Arlo.

- I need to take a shower.

- I'm sleepy.

I'm leaving and I'm taking my cup.

But, guys, wait!

Don't be sad. It's not like

we'll never see each other again.

We're neighbors, remember?

I'll see you soon.

- Ugh, my head.

- You guys are weak.

- I could go for another three days.

- [meowing]

[sighs]

Well, I guess this place

has been officially house-warmed.

Strange.

It doesn't feel any warmer.

Ah!

I don't like this.

- [gentle music plays]

- [sobs]

[Arlo sobbing]

[sighs]

I guess I am still a dumb swamp baby.

[chuckling] I have to admit,

I do like an open floor plan.

You feeling better?

Feeling toasty!

This house is officially warmed!

- [doorbell rings]

- [woman] Delivery for Arlo Beauregard.

Uh, here. Take it.

- Whatever's in there does not seem happy.

- [rustling]

[sighs]

I don't get paid enough to do this.

Oh, it's a package from Edmee!

She promised me

she'd send me one every day!

I'm emotional.

It really stinks.

Uh, should I call Poison Control?

[rustling, squishing]

[gasps] What on earth is

Jeromio!

My favoritest swamp-frog

in the whole world!

- [squishes]

- Ribbit!

- [gasps]

- Isn't he cute?

He was my best friend back at the swamp.

Now, we can all be housemates!

Great.

[laughs]

Imagine if he arrived just a day earlier.

Jeromio and I would have been roommates

and you'd still be

living in your own space.

Can you imagine that?

Yes, I can.

I really can.
