Mung daal: what does it look

Like?

I'm making the plants grow so

That chowder will love me again.

Chowder: love you again?

Mung, why are you so upset?

I just thought truffles was

Cool, so I went to learn from

Her.

Mung daal: [ voice breaking ]

But you don't think i'm cool

Anymore.

You know, you and I were

Team mung daal.

We were growing fruit together,

Like men.

[ Warble! Warble! ]

And that's what breaks my heart!

Chowder: I don't understand.

Who am I supposed to learn

From?!

Truffles: chowder, this is

Adult business.

And we must handle it like

Mature, responsible adults.

Happen?

It's all...planty!

Yub nub!

[ Blink! ]

Chowder: it was the both of

You!

Mung, I'm sorry.

You were a great teacher.

From you, I learned all about

Cooking and gardens and

Crying...

Like a girl.

And, truffles, there's more that

I can learn from you, too!

But not that much.

[ Bong! ]

Truffles: well, that's sweet.

Panini: what?

Endive: hey, I had a cool

Idea.

Why don't we make some sundaes

And watch a movie together?

Or --

Panini: okay.

Let's stop right there.

You and I -- we have a

Professional relationship.

I prefer we keep it that way.

Endive: oh. Sure.

Panini: besides, I have a

Date with chowder tonight.

He doesn't know that yet, but he

will.

Oh, he will.

Don't wait up for me!

Endive: [ sighs deeply ]

Guess I got to make my own

Company.

Oooh!

This one looks delicious.

[ Wolf-whistle! ]

No!

This is embarrassing.

I am above resorting to --

Come on!

Come on!

[ Zip! ]

[ Slow music plays ]

[ Buzzzzzz! ]

Done yet?

[ Warble! Warble! ]

Too slow!

Taking him out a little early

Shouldn't hurt.

After all, endive, you've earned

This.

You've worked hard all week.

Nothing wrong with indulging

Yourself.

Endive: [ gasps ]

What could have gone wrong?

Oh, no!

I didn't finish cooking the

Dish!

You are a beautiful lady.

Do you want to kiss?

Endive: w-w-w-whaaa?!

Kisses for my lady!

Endive: aaah!

Ew, ew, ick!

[ Boom! ]

Wheeeeeee!

Endive: that ought to do

It.

I've got to sleep this date off.

[ Snoring ]

Good morning, my love.

I brought you space boots from

My trip to space.

Endive: wha-- wha?

Huh?

Who is that?

[ Squeak! ]

Get out of my bedroom!

Panini: ms. Endive!

Ms. Endive!

Have you met todd?

At first I thought he was gross,

But then we had a great

Discussion about cookies.

He's nice if you get to know

Him.

Endive: i-i've never seen

Him before in my life.

Ms. Endive's my lady friend.

We're in love.

And it's real.

Panini: wow.

I didn't know you were capable

Of love, ms. Endive.

You and todd and me and chowder

Should totally double-date.

Double dates are fun!

Endive: panini, he's food!

Why would I possibly date food?

[ Chuckles nervously ]

'Cause I'm the best.

Endive: aaaah!

Panini: ms. Endive, can I ask

A question?

Endive: no.

Panini: did you know you

Loved todd the first time you

Laid eyes on him?

Endive: I have no idea what

You are talking about.

Panini: because he told me

The moment he saw you, he knew

It was meant to be.

He said it was like...like...

What was that word you used?

Cosmic.

Panini: oh, yeah -- cosmic.

Endive: stay calm, endive.

Nobody knows it knows you.

Hey, everybody!

Endive's my lady!

Congratulations, endive.

Looks like a keeper.

Keep him in the fridge!

[ Laughter ]

"Keep him in the fridge," he

Said!

Endive: that's it!

Wear this!

Oh, is this some sort of a

Dating game, numnums?

Panini: hey!

That's what I call chowder!

We're going to be best friends!

I can tell already!

Endive: you're fired!

Both of you stay away!

So, yeah, after conquering

Everest, belly dancing just

Seemed inadequate.

Endive: vendor!

I need 73 shmubarbs, and make

It snappy.

Mung daal: why all the rush,

Endive?

You got a hot date?

[ Laughter ]

Endive: why would you say

That?

I'm not dating anybody.

Mung daal: exactly.

That was a joke.

Endive: oh. Okay.

Right -- a joke.

I get it.

[ Chuckles nervously ]

Come on! Bag up them shmubarbs!

Geez, lady, calm down!

I just have to find a bag

Here...

Oop! Found one!

Sheboodles!

Blecch!

Guh-ha-urgh!

Hi, I'm todd, ms. Endive's

Boyfriend.

Endive: so, how about that

Game last night, huh?

[ Chuckles nervously ]

Pretty awesome.

Mung daal: who's that behind

You, endive?

Chowder: I think that dude

Said he's endive's boyfriend.

Panini: his name is todd.

He and ms. Endive are dating.

Sheboodles!

Mung daal: dating?!

Ms. Endive chose me from all

The other men in the world

'Cause she loves me.

Oooh! I like your mustache.

It makes you look like a movie

Star.

Mung daal: ohh!

[ Chuckles ]

Thank you. Thank you.

[ Zoom! ]

Hi, I'm todd.

Chowder: are -- are you made

Of food?

Yes, I am.

[ Squish! ]

Chowder: we are gonna have a

Meaningful friendship.

[ Zip! ]

Panini: let's all be friends!

Life's ugly little blemishes.

Endive: oh, there's one now.

Gee, I'm glad I found you.

I'm throwing a little party in

Your honor.

[ Pop! ]

It's gonna be great.

I'm inviting everybody we know.

Endive: engagement party?!

I'm not marrying you!

Okay. See you there.

Wear something righteous.

Going to be.

[ Laughs evilly ]

Here we are!

[ Splat! ]

Gee, that's funny.

This kind of looks like a heat

Endive: oh, don't be silly.

Think of it more as an

Old-fashioned proposal gazebo.

Now, get into proposal position.

Yes, yes -- down on one knee,

Ring in hand.

Can I propose now?

I'm cooking him.

I'm making him --

Perfect, perfect man.

And I won't be lonely ever

Again!

[ Laughs maniacally ]

You -- you don't love me as I

Am?

[ Warble! Warble! ]

[ Sizzle! ]

I designed you this

Construct-a-bear as an

Engagement present.

I made her almost as beautiful

As you.

But you can still have her, even

If you don't love me.

[ Sloop! ]

Endive: [ voice breaking ] no

One's ever made me a bear

Before.

Listen, lady -- todd's

Awesome the way he is.

Mung daal: yeah, endive.

You've messed up many dishes,

But todd is not one of them.

Panini: todd taught me how to

Dance.

Truffles: he made me feel

Like a woman again!

Shnitzel: radda radda!

Mung daal: the bottom line,

Endive -- or in your case, the

Really, really, really super-big

Bottom line -- is that we love

Todd, and so should you.

Endive: why didn't I see it

Before?

Why, I was blinded by --

You may propose to me now.

No way!

You only like me because you

Think I'm beautiful.

Well, guess what.

I was beautiful before.

And you're she-baddle!

Endive: no, todd, no!

It isn't true!

Sorry, babe.

I need to be with someone who

Mung daal: no!

You don't remember, do you?

Chowder: remember what?

Mung daal: what I told you

About late-night snacks.
