01x05 - Much Abu About Something

[bunniefuu]

Fish! You smell it, I sell it!

Hey, that's my lunch, monkey!

Now I'm hungry and I'm ticked!

My bread!

Wait, what is this, day-old?
I'm supposed to eat this?

Hey, I was gonna eat that!

Fresh, delectable fruit!

Taste is sweeter than honey!

You know, Farouk can
claim his fruit is sweet,

but do we know that?

Nah!

We owe it to the
Marketplace consumer

to to put this
assertion to the test!

Huh?
- Let's eat the fruit.

Melons! Dripping with dew!

Picked by dawn's light!

No, no, the big one!

Thieves!

Abu! Iago!

Any sign of 'em?

Well, they haven't been gone
long enough to get into trouble.

Have they?
- Taste my blade, monkey!

You flap your arms and see where you get!

This way. Never find us.

Dead end! Well, maybe
it wasn't exactly this way…

Oh, boy.

Aha! I smell a thief!

I see a thief!

Bite 'im in the kneecap!

Do you know what I do to...

You won't get away!

Say goodbye to your thieving paws!

Abu, I may not always
be there to save you!

What?

Hai ya! Hai ya! Huh.

Oh yeah. Uh huh. You really
had that big galoot running scared!

Genie!

Ooh!

Help me! Help me! Help me!

Agrabah has cable! You're
watching the Mystic Vision Channel.

Terrifying visions and
weather on the hour!

No! Somebody needs our help!

That would be one interpretation.

How do we find that place?

Adventures in
Adventure presents:

Ziggarock! Eighth
wonder of the world!

Ooh…

Eighth wonder? Never heard of it.

That's because wonders one through
seven have easy freeway access.

Uh, do you know where this place is?

East of Eden, west of
Waikiki, and north of Nome.

Ah, there's
no place like Nome…

Ziggarock, Carpet.

Kid's got a genie and he
takes advice from a rug.

Come on!

Huh?

Honest mistake!

There it is!

Just like the vision!

The day has come!

It's Liberation Day!

Liberation Day!
- Liberation Day!

Liberation Day!
- Liberation Day!

Liberation Day has come!

Liberation Day!
- Liberation Day!

Liberation Day? What does that mean?

School's closed and no mail.

I am the shaman
of Ziggarock.

You answered the call.
You are our Liberator.

Liberator?
- The prophesy said,

he shall come upon a flying
cloth to free our land from its peril.

Huh, well, I have been known to...

Except, the Liberator
seemed so much…

bigger in the prophesy.

t's Abu!

So those weird visions we saw…
- …were meant for Abu!

Who knew?
- Abu the Liberator!

Look out! He'll bite you
in the kneecap!

Ha ha ha!

Yes. Abu the Liberator.

Only he can save us.

But the big question is, what
is he going to save you from?

An ancient peril has trapped our people on this mountain for generations.

Bummer. But you must admit, great view.

Only our most fierce warriors can brave the peril in the jungle to bring us food.

I told you to stop
by Falafel King!

But no, you hadda
make good time!

Shaman, we'll go down to
the jungle. We'll get food.

Praise to you, Liberator.

Let's see… food, peril…
food, peril…

Oh, man, am I torn here.

Come on, I'm starving!

We'll bring back a feast!

Jerk.

Okay, Liberator, knock it off.

Uh, we can handle ancient
peril, can't we, Genie?

Well, Al, if it were
"everyday" peril, no sweat.

But "ancient" peril,
that's a coin toss.

Heads, you lose your tail,
tails, you lose your head

Oh…

Right, Liberator.

We promised
food, we'll get food.

Food…
- Look, taboo root!

Very exotic, makes a zesty snack!

There's nothing edible here!

This foraging stuff is for the...
- Birds?

You are so droll.

Look, any stooge knows food
only comes from the Marketplace.

And the only peril there is, heh, Omar's prices.

Leave the comedy to the
professionals, okay, Al?

What's that?!
- What's that?!

Attention, shoppers, stock
up on Liberation Day values

with jungle fresh
produce in aisle nine.

Nuh uh uh! Not 'till those
hungry Ziggarockians eat!

I'm on the verge of
starvation if anybody cares!

I've got one claw
in the grave, here!

What does it take to get
somebody's attention around here?!

Aah!

Iago!

Guess this pretty much clears
up that ancient peril mystery!

Run!

What is that?

Big!

I'll go get help!

Wait a second! We are the help!

Penalty! ill*gal use of tail!

This is bad!

Genie?
- Don't look at me. I'm stumped.

Abu! You can't!

Oh…

Step on it, Ruggster!
- Before it steps on us!

Well, Liberator?
Mission accomplished?

Well, maybe you didn't notice,

but you've got a king-size beast
up against a bite-size Liberator!

The Liberator must triumph.

Pinch me, I'm near greatness.

Abu can do it!

Yeah! Hai ya!

And he has confided
his master plan to me!

We'll turn things around!

Instead of having the
people trapped up here,

we'll trap the beast down there!

Oh, sure. How?!

Allow me. Mountain.
Peril. expl*sive!

Nuh uh! No way!

Abu says, "this
plan is foolproof!"

Ah. Well said, O' great one.

This is the stupidest…
hey, do we eat after?

Once Mr. Fang is trapped,
there'll be food for everyone!

I'm in.

Ah, you can thank me later, Abu.

After we make a hero out of you!

I'm picturing a nice vey.

With garnish! I love garnish!

"Insert expl*sive charge
A into rock formation B."

That'll blow it.
- Blow its nose, maybe.

Work with me, here;
we need firepower!

It's a start.

All set?
- Let's roll the rocks!

Kaboom! Kablooey! Kaboom!

Boom boom boom! We're cool.

Wait! First we have to
draw the beast into the trap!

Uh huh!

Quit joking around, Abu. We need bait.

Mom would be so
proud to see me now.

"I'm the bait, Ma!"

How do you think I feel?

What now? Rain?

Ew! Monster spit!

This burger's to go!

Genie, it's on the target!

One expl*si*n of catastrophic
proportions coming up!

I… think it worked.

It worked.

Oh, Liberator!
You have triumphed!

Thank you, Ziggarock!

We whupped the peril!

And we made Abu
look like a hero.

Not bad.

Oh…

All right!
- We're bad aren't we?

We did it!
- We whooped his prehistoric tail!

Give me five!

Ooh, this is good. I like this.

Oh, this is tasty.
Oh, more of that!

Citizens of Ziggarock!
All hail Abu, our Liberator!

A big hand for the little monkey, folks!

Pass the mustard.

This Liberator
racket's not bad, eh?

Now, I don't just see
you liberating villages.

I see you working
entire city-states.

You gonna eat that?

Just as the prophesy promised,
the jungle is ours again.

Abu can do anything…

with a little help
from his friends.

Oh…

I'm stuffed. Is there dessert

Bet they baked you such a cake!

Sorry.
- Abu?

Gone! What an ingrate! We
make him look good… Aah!

It is here!

Our landslide didn't trap it?

No, but it did provide
easy access to the village!

Whoa! Look out! Genie!

All we did was make it mad!

I think mad is all it does!

Well, mad and hungry.

Keep it busy! Give the
people a chance to escape!

We owe them that much at least.

Look out, kid!

Come on! Snap out of it!

It's time to make
some magic! Please!

Abu! No!

Stay back, you dumb monkey!

Back, mum dunkey!

Abu!

Where is our Liberator?

He's… gone.

I told the monkey to stay back,

but he wouldn't listen to
me. He never does…

did.

I know, rug-man.
Nothing any of us could do.

I do not understand.

This was not in the prophesy.

Help! Help!

Abu! You're okay!

And you're lucky, too,
you stupid, stupid monkey!

Abu, we didn't have to do
anything to make you a hero.

You were a hero all along.

Well, you know…

Here he is! The
monkey of the moment!

The chimp who would be champ!

Abu the Liberator!

Abu! Abu! Abu!
- Abu! Abu! Abu!
