01x03 - Triangle Gets Carried Away/Square's Different Day

Post by bunniefuu »

Another fine day on the island.

On mornings like this, Circle, Square
and Triangle meet near the beach

to enjoy doughnuts and hot chocolate.

I am tired of doughnuts!

Triangle,
how could you get tired of doughnuts?

It's all this dunking. Dunk, dunk, dunk.

It's tedious. It's boring.

Who wants
to spend their whole life dunking?

So don't dunk.

But dunking makes the doughnut taste good.

So dunk.

Are you even listening?
I want my doughnut dunked.

I just don't wanna do it myself.

I have an idea.

I'll build something
to do the dunking for me.

A simple doughnut-dunking machine.
That's it! It's brilliant.

I'll never have to dunk
another doughnut again.

I'll spend every morning relaxing in style
thanks to my little doughnut dunker.

Gotta go.

Well, okay.

But don't get carried away.

What do you mean "carried away"?

Circle was too nice to say so,

but with Triangle,
little ideas tended to get way too big.

Little feelings grew out of control.

Things would snowball, mushroom, balloon.

Simply put,
sometimes Triangle got carried away.

I do not get carried away.

"Triangle Gets Carried Away."

Triangle!

Hold on, hold on, hold on!

Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!

We came
to check on your little doughnut dunker.

Right. Yes. It's not finished yet.

What's that?

-What is what?
-That.

That! Nothing.

It's something else. A thing.

It's a neat thing

that is definitely not
a giant doughnut dunker.

-Thanks for coming. See you later.
-But-- Well, okay.

Whew.

Sorry to interrupt. I forgot my favorite--

It's a-- It's a--

It was a giant doughnut dunker.

We should probably tell Circle about this.

Why? She'll just say I got carried away.

And I do not get carried away!

Okay, okay, but just in case
anything goes wrong, Circle could fix it.

Circle thinks
she knows how to do everything.

Yeah. She's amazing.

This thing is perfectly safe.

As long as I've got this controller
helmet, it copies my every move.

Nothing can go wrong.

Watch.

Well, at least the light bulb works.

Anyway, like I said, perfectly safe.

Just need to work out a few kinks.

I'm probably gonna have to make it
a little bigger.

Yes!

Okay, just follow my lead.

Like so.

You missed there, big guy. Like so.

Like so.

Like so! Like so! So, so, so!

Hey, that was my mug!

Go get it.

Stop copying me.

That's not funny!

Whew.

It's out of my control!

Oh, no.

Well, this isn't good.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

Can't you turn it off?

We should probably tell Circle about this.

No! She'll just say I got carried away.

But Circle can fix this.

No! We can fix this. You and me, Square.

Just the two of us working together
as a pair. A duo.

Sure, it won't be easy.

We'll need courage and smarts
and a whole lot of teamwork.

A team of two!

Two minds, two hearts, two friends.

The kind of friends
who always work together to solve problems

and who would never say
that I get carried away,

because I do not get carried away!

Yeah, I should definitely tell Circle
about this.

Triangle got carried away!

I tried to warn him.

I told him, "Triangle, you get
a little idea, but then it gets bigger.

And soon, everything goes wrong."

No, no. I mean, yes, but no.

Triangle built a giant doughnut dunker,

and then it went nuts,
and it picked him up and carried him away.

Help, please!

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna turn that switch off.

Find somewhere safe.

Circle.

Hello, Triangle.

You were right. I did get carried away.

It's kind of funny because it is
what you said was gonna happen

-but in kind of a different way.
-I get it. Hold on.

I love it when she does stuff like this.

The switch is in the back.

Would you mind turning it off for me,
please?

That's what I'm trying to do.

Yes, yes, yes!

Easy, now. Watch out for Triangle.

Come on, Circle. You can do it!

Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah.

Just be careful with my-- Oh, boy.

You're dunking!

You're dunk--

Give me that switch!

Look out! I'm right behind you!

Nice. My mug!

It didn't break.

So, anyone feel like doughnuts?

And so,

Triangle's giant doughnut dunker became
a nice little island.

An excellent spot for three good friends
to gather in the mornings

and enjoy a doughnut,

which is always more delicious
when dunked in hot chocolate.

Dunk.

Every morning, when Square wakes up,

he knows just what to do.

He makes his bed.

He brushes his teeth.

He leaves his house
at the same exact time…

and takes the same exact path…

to the same exact place.

Square goes down
to the very bottom of a cave.

And once he is there,
he does the same exact thing.

He chooses a block
from the pile below the ground.

He pushes the block
up and out of the cave.

He brings the block to the pile
at the top of the hill.

This is his work.

And then the next morning,
he does it again.

Square does the same exact thing

day after day.

And that's exactly how he likes it.

"Square's Different Day."

One morning,
while Square was on his way up the hill,

Circle was on her way down.

Square, you are a genius.

I didn't know you were a sculptor.

Yes.

What is a sculptor?

A sculptor shapes blocks into art.

Oh, yes. I see what you mean.

But he did not really see what she meant.

This is a wonderful sculpture.

It looks just like you.

Yes. I suppose it is wonderful.

No! It's better than wonderful.
It's perfect.

Now you must make a sculpture of me.

What? But I--

A perfect circle.

I'll come back for it tomorrow afternoon.

Bye, genius.

I was just pushing it up the hill.

Circle,
I think I should tell you something!

But she was already gone.

Oh, crumbs!

Okay, I have to make this block
look like Circle.

And Circle is perfect.

So, I must make this perfect.

Okay. I can do this.

Okay.

And then if I…

Careful.

I can fix this.
I just have to smooth this out a little.

Okay, just shake it off.

I'm a sculptor now.

I can do this. For Circle.

Oh, mud!

No, no, no!

This is not perfect.

This is not perfect.

Square worked

and worked

and worked.

No!

Square had carved the whole block away.

There was nothing left.

He was surrounded by rubble.

Whatever's the opposite of perfect,
that is what this is.

I will stay up all night
and figure this out.

Square fell asleep.

That morning, when Square woke up…

he didn't know what to do.

Who am I kidding?

I push blocks. I don't shape them.

I'm not a genius.

What will Circle think
when she comes back and sees this mess?

She'll know I'm not a genius.

How will I face her? What can I tell her?
What do I do?

I know.

I will go and hide in my cave.

I will stay there all day!
All week! Forever!

I will live underground with the blocks,
with the worms!

Every day will be exactly the same!

-There is still time to get away.
-Hello, genius. I'm early.

Are you finished?

Oh, yes. I am finished.

Oh, my. It's…

It was beautiful.

It was beguiling.

It's me.

It's perfect.

It is?

Yes.

You are a genius.

Thank you.
