01x02 - Melman at the Movies

[bunniefuu]

- Places!

[EVERYBODY LAUGHS]

[SHUTTER TRIGGERS]

- 18, 19, 20!

Come out, come out,
wherever you are!

Gloria? Marty?

A-ha!

Ugh...

Ha! You're getting
way too good at hiding!

[MELMAN SCREAMS]

- What was that?
ALEX: A-ha! Found you!

- That sounded like Melman!
- Melman?

[♪♪♪]

Oh, no. I know that move!
He's got a hair ball!

- I don't think giraffes
can get hair ba*ls!

- Uh! Step out of the way!
I got this. Come on, Melman!

[MELMAN MOANS]

- Oh!

- Come on, come on, get it out!
- Wait, Gloria! I'm okay!

I'm just doing my best day ever
dance because today I found this!

[♪♪♪]

- A daffodil?

- Not just any daffodil.
This is a nine-petaled daffodil.

That's three more petals
than a regular daffodil.

Do you know what this means?

- That my singing to the plants
is really helping them grow!

- No! It means today
is going to be my best day ever!

[MELMAN SNEEZES]

- I thought you said your best day
ever was last week on garbage day.

- That was
the second best day ever.

- What about the day Kate gave
you two baths instead of one?

- Third.

- The day you found a whole bottle
of hand sanitizer in the Lost & Found?

- Tied for third.

But today is going to be
my number one best day ever!

And nothing...

[MELMAN SNEEZING]

can get in the way...

of my...

best day ever!

[MELMAN SNEEZES]

- Bless you!
- Thank you.

[ANT'NEY SMELLS]

- What is that
intoxicating smell?

Oh! Donuts!
Here I come, baby!

Oh, ah! Look over there!
Sorry, sir. Oh, ugh. Oh!

Hello, gorgeous!

Come to Ant'ney! Ugh.

Whoa! "Good Luck Truck"?

- Oh, morning, troops!

Now, Melman, I know you're not a
big fan of hoof-clipping day...

- Huh!
- Poor Melman.

His best day ever
was good while it lasted.

- But lucky for you,
the hoof-clippers broke.

So you just landed yourself
a spa day!

[MELMAN SIGHS]

[MELMAN CHUCKLES]

- I bet that feels glorious!

[KATE CHUCKLES]

- You're all set, buddy!

[MELMAN HUMS]

I got a feeling
today is your day.

[ANT'NEY LAUGHS]

[ANT'NEY SCREAMING]

[EVERYBODY GASPS]

- Hiya, Ant'ney!
- What's the word from the bird?

- The word is this bird almost
got squashed by a billboard!

I was flappin' my wings,
following the scent

of the most beak-watering donuts,
and you'll never believe what happened!

- You crashed?
- I crashed!

I mean, I'm dodging trucks
on the street all day,

now I gotta deal
with trucks in the sky?

- Trucks in the sky?
- Yeah, big ol' billboard.

Apparently some movie called
"Good Luck Truck" opened today.

Big whoop, amirite?

Melman, buddy,
what's going on with your face?

- Good Luck Truck!

I've heard kids talking
about that movie for months!

It's got monster trucks,
pickup trucks, dump trucks.

Every kind of truck
I ever heard of!

- And it just opened
in theaters today?

Wow, Melman.
Maybe this really is your best day ever!

- And it's all thanks
to Mr. Daffodil here!

♪ Best day ever!
Best day ever! ♪

[♪♪♪]

- In honor
of Melman's best day ever,

I say we head to the movies
to see Good Luck Truck!

- Oh, yeah!
- Let's do it!

- Would you like to come with
us, Ant'ney?

- Not today, Stretch.
I've got a date with destiny.

And by destiny,
I mean half-eaten donuts.

[ANT'NEY LAUGHING]

- I hope you have something good
today. Dave's in a bad mood.

He's been crabby ever since
his banana-peeling doohickey-machine

stopped working.

- Why don't you just use
your hands?

- Our hands? What do we look
like, a bunch of animals?

- Oh, yes.
- Hush! Not helping.

- I know how to cheer him up.

Here! Old tennis ball?
Still got bounce!

- Too fuzzy.

MARTY: Hmm, brand new bow?

- Not my style.

- You're gonna love this!
PICKLES: Huh?

[DAVE YELLING]

Now look what you've done!
His ears don't look anything like that!

- Let me give it a try.
Hmm...

Ooh!

- A stinky old shoe?

- A shoelace?

It's just what he needed to fix
his banana-peeling-doohickey-machine!

- Remind me, Millie,

what was the name
of that movie we saw last week?

[MARTY GRUMPING]

[MILLIE GASPS]

- They're Rising From the Sewers!
That was the name of the movie.

They're Rising From the Sewers!

- That's right! Wonderful acting.
And the special effects were terrific!

[EVERYBODY GASPS]

GLORIA: That was close!

- We better get some disguises
before anyone spots us.

[WORKER DRILLING]

- What did you say? I can't hear you
over the noise of that construction worker

standing next to all those...

hard hats!

- Uh!

- Wait a second.

How are we gonna get in to the
movie without tickets?

- We could just sneak in.

[GLORIA CHUCKLES]

[MARTY GASPS]

- No, no, no, no, no.
We are not sneaking in!

We are law-abiding wildlife.

- Don't worry.
Today is my best day ever.

We'll find a way in!

[ANT'NEY SCREAMS]

- Ant'ney!

- Hiya, g*ng!
This is my buddy, Georgina Valentino.

- My friends call me Gina.
- Gina!

- We go way back,
we met 20 minutes ago

outside Dee Dee's Donuts.

- So you got your donuts!

- Eh, that's a negative.

Not a single human dropped their
donut, not even a crumb!

- They even licked
the napkins clean!

- I'm sorry, Ant'ney.

I feel bad that things
aren't going your way

when I'm having
my best day ever.

- Not to worry, Stretch!

We'll head to the Dee Dee's
downtown, try our luck there.

C'mon, Gina, let's flap!

SELLER: Next!
- Looks like we're next!

- What does he think,
he's gonna just walk up there

and they'll just hand him
a bunch of free tickets?

[HORN HONKING]

- Congratulations,
as our 100th customer,

you have won four free tickets
to Good Luck Truck.

Enjoy the show.

- Leapin' lions, Melman!
Your best day just keeps getting bester!

- The only thing that could
make this best day even better

is if I had a box
of yummy Sour Candy Whales.

- Ah, nuts!
I made a mistake.

I delivered 500 boxes
of Sour Candy Whales

when they only asked for 50!

Oh, well!

I'll just leave all these extra boxes
here in case anyone wants them.

[EVERYBODY CHEERING]

- Everything's
coming up, Melman!

- I can't decide if this is
super weird, or very cool.

- Can't it be both?

[♪♪♪]

[EVERYBODY CHEERING]

- Yes!

[EVERYBODY CHEERING]

NARRATOR: He's got a
tankful of gas and nowhere to go.

He's the Good Luck Truck!

- Ugh.

- That hair spray smells worse
than a pack of smelly skunks!

- Do you mind? I'm watching
my new favorite movie here.

- Uh! Ugh...

[MELMAN COUGHING]

[MELMAN SNEEZING]

- People are starting to stare.
Should I distract them by tap dancing?

- No! Melman, hold your nose!

- Ugh...

- There goes the popcorn.

- Ugh! Hush!
- Come on, we gotta move seats!

- Okay! We're back, baby.

- Hey, kid! Didn't anyone ever
tell you to stay in your lane?

- Oh, no. Is that pepper?
- Who brings their own seasoning?

[GIRL HUMMING]

[MELMAN SNEEZING]

Hush! Keep it down, back there!
We're trying to watch the movie!

- [CHANGES VOICE]
Yeah, keep it down!

[BACK TO NORMAL]
Let's hit it.

- Melman's nose
should be safe back here!

- You'll never drive me out.
'Cause I'm here to save the day!

[LADY GASPS]

[MELMAN SNEEZING]

[AUDIENCE GRUNTING]

[MELMAN SNEEZING]

- Now we'll miss
the end of the movie.

- Don't worry. This is just a
glitch in my best day ever.

I'm sure we'll find a way
to see the end of the movie.

ANT'NEY: Look out below!

- Hey, Ant'ney! Hi, Gina!
- Did you make it to Dee Dee's?

- Absolutely not!

[GINA RASPBERRIES]

- Oh, no! No donuts?

- We were just minding our
business, a-flappin' our wings

when we got catapulted through the
sky by a ginormous blimp! It happens.

- On the bright side,
who did we see catching a ride

on that big old blimp,

but my number one pigeon,
Eugenio Valentino!

- Hey-yo! Call me Gino.

- Gino!
- Are you related?

Ha! Related? We're twins.

Can't you tell? We're so much alike,
we even finish each other's...

- What?
- See what I mean?

- Well, we better fly!
My new buddy Gino here says

there's a one-day-only
Dee Dee's pop-up shop opening uptown.

I will eat a Dee Dee's donut
if it's the last thing I do!

- Good luck, Ant'ney!

I'll put in a good word for you
with my best day ever daffodil.

Uh! My daffodil!
I must have dropped it!

[MELMAN PANTING]

No daffodil, no best day ever!

- I'm sure that's not true,
Melman.

[MELMAN GASPS]

- Don't worry, buddy!
We'll get you all cleaned-up.

- Why bother? It's obvious
my best day ever is over.

- Ah, come on, Melman,
it's just a little mud!

- This isn't just a little mud!

It's proof of the horrible,
crummy, yucky day this is. Hmm!

[MELMAN GROANING]

[♪♪♪]

- It's okay to feel sad.
Let it out, Melman. Let it all out!

[MELMAN CRYING]

- Now I'll never see the end
of the best movie ever!

Does the Good Luck Truck
run out of gas?

Did it change its own tire?
Did it turn into a unicorn-monster truck?

Did it spread glitter and joy
throughout the land?

- Probably not that last one.

- But I'll never know, will I?

Because today is
my worst day ever.

- You can't let one crummy thing
ruin your whole day.

- The day's not even over yet!
- Yeah, Melman.

You can't control everything that happens,
but you can control what you do about it.

It's up to you to make
this your best day ever.

- Melman?

Melman! Wait up.

- Hey, check it
out! The library!

We can play hide-and-seek
in the Kids' Corner!

[MELMAN SIGHS]

- Or you could keep drooping
your head across the sidewalk

like a sad vacuum cleaner.

- I choose sad vacuum cleaner.

- Don't worry, Melman.
You'll feel better soon.

- I don't want to feel better.
I want to sit here and feel sad forever.

- Forever is a long time,

but when forever is over,
we'll be waiting for you inside.

- Can we go
to the pop-up book section?

MARTY: Huh?
- What?

- It's the best section.
MARTY: Hmm?

[MARTY, GLORIA,
AND ALEX CHATTING]

[WIND BLOWS]

[THUNDER CRASHES]

[GLORIA LAUGHING]

- Is that a pop-up firetruck book?
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

I can't have fun
on my worst day ever.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

[KIDS LAUGHING]

Why is this happening to me?

[♪♪♪]

- Melman! You're here!

- You decided to make the best
of the day and play with us!

- No, I just didn't want
to sit in the rain.

I'll keep having
my worst day ever right here.

- Uh?
- What is it?

- Wow.
- Is that the book version of Good Luck Truck?

MELMAN: We can find
out how the movie ends!

- This is awesome!

- This is awful!
- What do you mean?

- None of us know how to read.

- Oh, right. There is that.

- There has to be a way
to turn things around.

LIBRARIAN: Attention, Kids' Corner!

Story time starts in 15 minutes
in the reading nook!

Today's book
is Luigi the Leprechaun.

- Story time!

- All we have to do
is get the librarian

to read Good Luck Truck for story time,
and we'll all get to hear the ending!

- But she's not reading Good Luck Truck,
she's reading Luigi the Leprechaun.

- Not if we perform
a little book swap.

- Thanks for trying,
but I think I'll just go watch the rain.

[MELMAN SIGHS]

- Is he gonna be okay?
- I hope so, Alex.

[♪♪♪]

- I say we swap those books.

[♪♪♪]

- Okay. What's the plan?

- Luigi the Leprechaun

is on a shelf behind
the librarian's desk.

All we need to do is switch it
with Good Luck Truck

before the librarian returns.

- Hey, stop that!

- Hiya, Ant'ney.

- Whoa, hey, Stretch!
Didn't see ya there.

How's your best day ever?

- Not so best.
But you look happy.

Guess you got one of those
donuts, huh?

- Nah,
it wasn't in the cards for me.

But, hey, I made a coupla
new pals along the way.

Ain't that what it's all about?
Hey! Stop that! Watch the hair!

- You mean stop this?

[ANT'NEY SIGHS]

- Hey, cheer up, Stretch.
The rain won't last forever.

GINA: Come on, Ant'ney!

- You can go, Ant'ney.
I'll be okay.

- Catch ya later, Stretch.

Hey, wait for me! Whoo-ooh!

- Hmm.

- Ow! Ow! Ow!

the book swap for you, Melman.

- We just wanted to help you
feel better on your worst day ever.

- You can cry as
long as you need.

- I'm not crying.

I just had to blow my nose.

Things didn't go
Ant'ney's way today,

that didn't stop him from
having fun with his friends.

If he doesn't need a donut
to have his best day ever,

then I don't need a daffodil.

All I need is my best buds!

- Gloria, you were right!

It was up to me
to make this my best day ever!

- "The Good Luck Truck raced
to the gas station,

he couldn't believe
he'd run out of gas again!

Then, the Good Luck Truck
turned into..."

GLORIA: That ending was wild!

- Melman! How did you know
the Good Luck Truck

was going to turn
into a unicorn-monster truck

who spread glitter and joy
throughout the land?

Like that is exactly
what you said would happen!

- I guess
I just really know trucks!

- Kate's coming!
- Whew!

Bath time with the porcupines
did not go well.

Aww.
