01x08 - Where There's Smoke

[bunniefuu]

Cut germs and viruses down the sides Busy

defending all the nerve endings They got

busting nerves

in the birds

From the tip of the nose to the behind

They're the protectors of the city of

Hector, I, Z, and Drix Oh,

up here!

I'm

on, man!

Toad, cut it out. Now, let's make this

thing quick, 'cause I got a tingle.

HuhCitizens of Hector, welcome to

the 13th Annual Air Fair.

I've gotta love it. Can't breathe without

it. Let's hear it for... air!

It doesn't stop yakking soon. They're

gonna have to call this the hot air fair.

We ought to think about how important air

is. I mean, sure, it's got oxygen,

but it's also got carbon dioxide and

nitrogen...

Nice breath. You've been rolling in the

colon or what?Uh, uh, anyway, I

am totally psyched to announce that the

airfare's closing ceremony will feature a

performance by the hottest new band in

Hector, Metabolica!

Seriously?You haven't washed your gym

clothes in three months?Yeah, my shorts

can stand up on their own now. But dude,

the record is six months and I am going

for the gold. Hey, Cruz. HuhCool

shirt.

Whoa, that's Jude Lawson. He's in

ninth grade. How do you know him?Um,

I don't. Well, go on, talk to him. I

mean, hanging with ninth graders is the

big time, man. Just don't forget me when

you're all popular and stuff. Hey, Jude.

So, Cruz, you into Bogus Truth?I got

every disc they ever made. Rinse and

spit. Anguish Avenue. Deep Fried Face,

live from Laughlin. Imports, too.

Pretty cool for a seventh grader, huh,

Ashley?Whatever.

I hear in their next album they're only

using two instruments: drums and garbage

disposal. Smoke?

Um, I don't really... Why not?

You know, my mom says... His mom says...

His mom says... Whatever.

Yo, Drix! How am I supposed to play catch

with your dopey dog if he won't let go?

I think Dander expects you to do the

catching. Hey, you

smell something?

Oh, if only I had my easel and paints to

capture this exquisite fog gently rolling

in. That ain't fog. It's cigarette smoke.

Come on!

Listen up! I don't want to cause a panic,

but that smoke's toxic! Run for your life!

In an orderly fashion, of course. Let's

get out of here. Sorry, Sir.

Tar, carbon monoxide, butane. We're

together again.

Look at them run and no one even

knows we caused it.

We know we caused it. Remember what I

said about thinking, Tar?You

said don't do it. Stick to them.

Who are they?Bacterial. Worse.

They're some of the chemicals in

cigarette smoke. Yo, Nick.

Nicotine. Somebody knows

you. Somebody's

thinking again.

Come on.

You there.

We gotta stop him. Allow me.

Oh, here. Oh!

Hi, Mom. Bye, Mom. Not so fast, Flash.

Anything happen at school today?Uh, yeah,

no, I mean, the usual. Oh,

that specific.

Do you smell smoke?

Um, maybe dinner's burning?Oh,

not again. Wait, I'm

making salad.

Hey, if we're gonna last you around here,

you gotta get the kids a smoke again. No

sweat, butay. I am

unbeatable. You know how persuasive I can

be. All I have to do

is figure out who's in charge here.

Hey, I think it's this guy.

HmmMayor Spryman to attend

concert. Poor little mayor.

Soon you'll be eaten out of my hands.

Living large, guy in

charge. Living large,

guy in charge. Living

large. So this guy, nicotine, he gets

in and creates an addiction, you know, an

uncontrollable habit. You listening?

Sure have it very bad. What do you think?

Large or in charge?Let me put it

another way. Remember the time Hector

couldn't stop eating Mondo Choco bars?

Ooh, Mondo Choco bars. He ate them

until he hurled, and he still wanted

more. Mm-hmmHis mom had to cut off a

candy. Bad mom. That doesn't

make any sense, Jones. Chocolate tastes

good, and cigarettes stink. So why would

Hector want them?Perhaps I can elucidate.

Tobacco smoke contains nicotine, which

causes the release of the

neurotransmitter dopamine, signaling the

body to experience pleasure. However, oh,

do you have a question?Yes. Why are you

so boring?Let me bottom line it

for you, Mayor. If Nick gets control of

the brain, Hector won't be able to resist

smoking, and we are finito.

Well, he can't get control of the brain

'cause I control it. All right, I'm

not saying I buy this, but I'll put some

guys in the neck. If they run into any

toxins, they'll just take 'em down to the

behind. Then it's toot-toot, freight

train to Pooterville. We float an air

muffin and get upwind. Got it?

Livin' large?Hey, now, if you'll excuse

me, I'm off to the Metabolica concert at

the diaphragm.

Hey, Jones, do you have tickets to the

show?Well, no, uh, good.

Hey, Cruz. Check it out. My personal

bogus truth bootleg. Outtakes, remixes,

Video Choice Awards pre-show interview.

Whoa. Listen to it at lunch. We can talk

about it after school, at the smoking

lounge. Uh, you think we should?I mean,

what if one of the teachers sees a

smoking in... Cruz, don't be a wuss, okay?

Later. Whatever.

What did you pull here,

man?I just gave the car a new color of

ear wax. Sorry. Any idea where

we should look for these toxins?Yeah,

there.

Ozzie.

Maria, you see the guys who were driving

this thing?Nah, it was empty. But I got

something else for you, Jones. Hmm

That's for driving like you own the

artery. You don't understand, Maria.

We're in hot pursuit, and time is of the

essence. What's

with the dog?I believe he's pickedFounder,

what's wrong?The diaphragm?

Why would they go there if they want to

control the brain?

Perhaps they are attending that rock and

roll concert. Though heaven knows why

someone would want to listen to such

noise when I-- The concert! Nick's not

going for the brain, he's going for the

guy who runs the brain, the man.

Right. Get ready, guys. This is our big

break.

Congratulations. Oh,

but there's been a little change in the

programme. I'll be sitting in

with the band. What?Yeah. Who do you

think you're?

Nick.

music to my ears. Yeah! We want

Metabolica! We want Metabolica!

Ladies and gentlemen, Airfare is

proud to welcome Metabolica and

their special guest.

Special guest?

Hello

there. Hi. I'm new to this

place. Please don't be alarmed by

my oily embrace. Invite

me in. I'll warm my feet by your fire.

I'll just hang around until you

expire.

Face the fact it's a chemical

reaction. You can't fight

this kind of attraction. And

nicotine. Thick and

cool and unclean.

Although you're in between.

Your name, your name.

You're

mine, baby.

You're mine.

Come on, Mr. Mayor. Show's

over. Time to go back to the

brain.

Freeze.

This here's a no smoking area. Yeah,

that was funny about the 1st 500

times I heard it. Get rid of them.

Then meet me in the brain at the pleasure

center. I

hate it when that happens.

All right, Mr. Now I am

peeved.

Just you and me, boy.

Smart dog.

Yo, Drix!

Oh, no!

Yo, Gassy Lassie, anybody ever tell you

you got a real odor problem?What's so

funny?Okay, Skicky, you're in for it now.

I bet this happens to you a lot. Yeah,

you just get used to it. Let me go!

Time to shed the wall!

Help me out of here!

No, no

Apparently I've been out cold. What's

happening?I'll explain on the way. We got

to get to the pleasure center.

Nicotine. Nicotine.

Ah, the pleasure center.

Tisk, tisk. The objects of Hector's

desire. Skateboards, ice cream,

yawn. It's time to give him something

huge to crave.

I'm in charge.

Hector. I saw

you hanging with Jude and Ashley. Yeah,

so?So you were talking about

smoking. Don't you know that can k*ll you?

Hey, I'm not gonna die from 1 cigarette

or... Two?Yeah, that's what they

all say. You know what, Heck?If you're

stupid enough to smoke, I'm smart enough

to stay away from you. Goodbye.

Huh

Cruise, my man. You listen to the CD?

Uh, yeah. Excellent. Come on, let's

discuss it in the smoking lounge.

That's right, Hector. Ah,

good. The police are here. No, bad.

They've been brainwashed by Nick.

Nicotine.

Nicotine. If I'm gonna cut the connection

between cigarettes and pleasure, I gotta

get inside. Any idea?

Excuse me, officers. I seem to have

gotten lost on the way to pituitary

class. Could any of you gentlemen be of

assistance?

Destroy it.

Destroy it. What do you know?

It worked. It

won't be long now, Hector.

Hey, you're too late, Lucasite.

Just one more puff. And Hector is

mine. I'm unbeatable.

Hector, no.

Chris. Yes.

You know you want it.

What's the matter?Don't you want to be

cool?You can't resist

me. Pass.

What?Yeah! Whoo!

Hector, you are my hero! Go back

and smoke, you little coward. Do it.

Do it. I am unspeakable.

You can't resist. Do it.

Do it.

No, no

I don't know what this city is coming to.

A pill dressed as a girl just isn't safe

anymore. You can't get rid of me.

I'm-- I beat a bone.

I beat the

bone! I don't think so. See, all folks

got to do is put their foot

down. Ew. I stepped in something nasty.

It is.

Christine, wait up. I just

wanted to say, you were right. Even one

cigarette is one too many. It's done

good. Check it out. Hector

likes Christine. Wait, maybe she'll let

him hold her hand. Should he try it?I got

to get to the office.

I don't get it. Spryman couldn't stop

Nick. I couldn't stop Nick. So who

stopped Nick?I guess Hector did it

himself. HuhAfter all the times

we've saved Hector,It's like this time,

he saved us. Anyway, I got enough bad

habits already. Like what?When I finish

the milk, I leave the empty carton in the

fridge. Whoa, that is

bad.

When there's a fungus among us They don't

want to be rash Even if it's humongous

They'll fix it in a blast Cellcomino

swerves, hit some nerves Trying to

protect him, they almost wrecked him

Looking good
