01x12 - Shapesister/Lullah's Game

[bunniefuu]

Hmm... Merian!

I like that you peel papayas
with your braces.

Thank you. Uh...

Larry. I've never
seen a bigger splinter

than the one we
pulled out of you yesterday.

Thank you.

Mm... [grunts]

Dr. Lullah.

Your aim is getting better.

What is this nonsense?

It's called Compli-Ball!

It's a game
where you pass the ball
to someone,

then you give them
a compliment

you've never
given them before.

You like bad games.

What? This is
the best kind of game!

One where everybody wins
and everybody's best friends.

[all cheering]

Bleh! Real games
don't have best friends.

They have high stakes
and sore losers.

How about I show you
a real game?

[all gasp]

A real game!

[all chanting]
Friends! Friends!
Friends! Friends! Friends!

Oh wow.

Children, welcome to...

Lullah's game.

[Larry] Ooh!

Ready to begin?

We sure are!

We love games
almost as much as
we love each other.

[all cheering]

If you want to play,
reach your arm
into the obelisk.

-What's inside?
-[♪ dramatic music playing]

Madness. Only madness.

[all cheering]

Oh boy, in it goes.

-[Chip] Mm-hmm.
-Uh...

Oh. Hmm.

Great job, g*ng!

With our skills combined,

we can beat this game,
together!

-[Dr. Lullah] No you can't.
-[all] Huh?

Only one of you
can be the winner.

All you have to do
is keep your hands
in the obelisk.

Whoever keeps their hand
inside the longest

wins a fabulous prize.

Any questions?

Uh, yes.

Why is something
that's wider than it is tall
called an obelisk?

[humming melodiously]

Lullah's game.

Okay! Let's think about it.

There's gotta be
a way to play this game

so we can all win.

Good call, Pliny.
Raise both hands

-if you agree with Pliny.
-Okay.

-[buzzer sounds]
-[Pliny] Larry!

[screaming]

[grunts]

Hah! That was quick.

Dangit.

[chomps noisily]

Not cool, Sara!

You know Larry hasn't been
thinking so good

ever since
we pulled that splinter
out of his brain.

You gotta accept
there's only going to be
one winner.

I'm just making sure
it's gonna be me.

Ha! I'm gonna outlast you all.

I can command my brain
to pump blood extra slowly
to conserve energy.

Watch!

[grunting]

Aw that's cute, Chip.
But I'm going to win.

I'm so experienced
at cramming for tests,

I can hyper fixate
on anything.

Like this spot over here.

Oh yeah.
This'll keep me busy
for hours.

Well my arm fell asleep,

so I might as well
stay here for a bit.

Well, I'm still here
if you guys wanna
work together.

[low growl]

[Chip grunting]

Hmm...

[grunting]

Awake the whole time.
Chip's back online.

[chomping noisily]

-[Dr. Lullah] Hmm.
-[Larry] Oh come on!

Make 'em do something!

Yes, the runts are lasting
longer than I thought.

Time to kick things up
a notch.

[laughs]

[all gasp]

Uh, guys, is it
getting warmer in here?

[all groaning]

[sizzles]

[Dr. Lullah over intercom]
Looks like the competition
is heating up!

Here's a little refreshment
for you.

[all exclaiming]

Come on, Sara!
We can split it!

You're right, I'll share it.

Let's pass it
around the obelisk,
one sip each.

You first Chip.

Haha! Big mistake.

Chip sips deep.

Guess that's what I get
for helping.

Okay, bad job Chip,
but nice job, Sara!

Friends helping friends!

Interesting.

Wow. I wish I could
hyper fixate like you, Merian.

Mm-hmm.

Then I wouldn't
spend so much time
worrying about all the spiders

that could be living
inside these handholes.

Sara, I know
what you're doing.

What?
It's a well-known fact

that every obelisk contains
at least different variety
of arachnid.

Luckily, you're so focused

that that type of fact
wouldn't even bother you
at all.

You're probably
not even capable of
visualizing their pedipalps...

Sara, stop.

...delicately brushing
your fingertips.

[mimics spiders crawling
sound]

Don't listen to her, Merian!

Don't visualize the pedipalps

delicately brushing
your fingertips.

Looking for a place
to lay their eggs!

[screams]

[buzzer sounds]

[Dr. Lullah]
Well done, cat shirt.
You've earned a reward.

[grunts]

Here, friend.

Second big mistake!
You're terrible at this game.

[Pliny] Hmm.

Francis. How's it goin'?

-Good.
-Wanna play
the stretching game?

One game at a time.

Stop trying to sabotage her.

It's just a game, Pliny!
Let her play.

Hey, Francis?

I saw a horse
on the beach this morning.

[Chip] Oop, got her.

[groaning]
Ignore her, Francis.

Ooh, a pretty brown horse.

Brown?

There's no horse in this area.

...galloping against
a backdrop of waves.

The horse is a lie.

That is a risk
I have to horse.

[buzzer sounds]

-[grunts]
-[Chip laughs]

Too slow. Sara,
you are slipping up.

Oh, that's okay, Chip.

You obviously need it
more than I do.

What are you up to?

Ah!

[groaning]

You okay there, buddy?

[groaning]

I have to go to the bathroom!

-Hold it.
-I am!

I thought you had
total control over your body!

He also has a bladder
the size of a tiny baby
balloon grape.

How did you know?

I read your bladder diary.

It's just a regular diary!

But all you ever write about
is your bladder.

How did you know?

I read it too.

[Dr. Lullah] We all do.

-[exclaims]
-[buzzer sounds]

[panting loudly]

That's what you get for
stealing the water, Chip!

Give up!

No way.

I've never known
the taste of defeat

and I'm not gonna
taste it now.

[Dr. Lullah]
Speaking of taste...

[both] Oh!

[Dr. Lullah] Enjoy!

Aw, yeah, baby!

[chuckles]

Well played, Dr. Lullah.

A food we need
two hands to eat.

Sara, why don't we
work together?

I'll hold the lobster,
and you can crack!
Go teamwork!

No teamwork.
I don't need help.

I can eat with my feet.

I've been practicing
for years!

In my heart of hearts,
I knew I would need
this skill someday.

[grunting and straining]

[shell cracks]

Sure you don't wanna quit?

I'm good.

Ugh! Sara's playing too dirty.

I agree.

Well, I'm team Sara.
She's winning!

[Chip and Merian] Boo!

-Ah!
-Ah! What's going on?

[Dr. Lullah] New rules!

Whoever can hang on
the longest... wins!

Now that's an obelisk!

[both screaming]

Quit, quit, quit, quit, quit!

-[Pliny grunting]
-[Dr. Lullah] Hah!

-Something wrong,
butter fingers?
-[exclaims]

Sara, I am not your adversary!

You are! Whoa!

Sara, earlier,
I never got to give you
a compliball.

I think that you
are the smartest person
that I know.

And you're smart enough
to understand

that we're really playing
against Dr. Lullah.

If she tears apart
our friendships,
then she wins.

But if you and I let go
at the same time,

then we win.

[sniffles] Okay.

-Ready?
-Ready.

One...

-Two...
-Three...

-[both] Jump!
-[thuds]

-[grunts]
-[Pliny] Whoo! I won!

Woohoo!

-What? No!
-[buzzer sounds]

[honker honks]

[Sara grunting]
What the heck?

What about all that junk
about teamwork?

It's called
the long-con, Sara.

Take some notes
if you need to.

Psychological t*rture,
emotional devastation,

back stabbery,

and the complete
irreversible rupturing

of a tight-knit friend group.

Now this is a game!

Come on guys,
it's just a game.

And you won! Deviously.

Now allow me
to present your prize.

A bicycle!

-Woohoohoo!
-Haha!

Not just any bicycle.

Umm...

A six person tandem bicycle!

Aww, too bad
you'll never be
able to ride it,

since you betrayed
your only friends.

[laughs maniacally]

Nope! I got it.

[grunting]

Stop that.
You're missing the point.

-[bell dings]
-She just did a bunny hop!

-[all cheering]
-[Merian] Go Pliny!

What? But the treachery!

Don't you hate each other now?

-No.
-Eh, whatever.

It's just a game.

[all cheering]

Ugh!

[Sara] Jump. Jump us!

[buzzer sounds]

[horse neighs]

Faster.

[horse neighs]
