[instrumental music]

[whoosh!]

[crowing]

Rats! Okay.
Let's try again.

Gotcha!

Rats. Gonna get ya!

Rats! Aha! Rats.

I thought playing
the "make Kimchi get covered

by a hat" game
would be easier than this.

Hey, I know. Maybe if you
fly around superfast

I'll have a better chance.

[whoosh!]

[whoosh!]

[whistle!]

My ha-a-a-a-t!!

Maybe it'll blow back.

Yes!

No-o-o-o-o!

Okay, Kimchi, it's really
Important that we find my hat.

- Pbht! Pbbht!
- Really, really important.

Really, really,
really, really important.

- Pbbht!
- Really, really, really.

Really, really, really, really.

- Really..
- Pbbbht!

Okay, okay. Just know that

it's really, really, really,
really, really.

- Really, really..
- Pbbbbbht!

Now, if I was my hat,
where would I be? Hmm.

[ding!]

[ruffle!]
Drat. It's not up there.

Hey, maybe you can track it down
with your sense of smell.

Luckily, I never wash it, so it
should be easy for you to find.

[sniffs]
Pbht!

Go get him, boy!
Go get my hat!

[flies buzzing]

Pbht!

Uh, I don't know, Kimchi,
that doesn't look like my hat.

I think it's just a smelly man.

[Scottish accent]
"Just a smelly man?"

"Just a smelly man!"
You see this, huh?

I won first place in
a garbage-eating competition.

- I am a champion!
- Champion of stinky.

flap! flap!

Hat! Hat!

Hey, hat, where are you?

[whoosh!]

Huh?

[yelling indistinctly]

[plop!]

boing! boing! boing! boing!

boing! boing! boing! boing!

[echoing]
Not up here.

We're never gonna find my hat.

I guess I'll just have to live
a hatless life.

But what kind of a life
is that?

[crying]
What kind of a life is that?

- Pbht!
- Aww, thanks, Kimchi.

It's sweet of you to want to be
my hat. But it's not the same.

[sighs heavily]

Dinka-loo, dinka-lee.
What a day to be me.

- Pbht!
- Hey! That's my hat!

[zoom]

Come back!

Whoa! Whoa!

Chestnut,
you found my hat for me!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
This isn't your hat.

This is Chestnut's new
vacation home.

But it's got my name
written in mustard inside.

[Chestnut]
'That's just a bunch
of gobbledygook.'

Yeah. Mung calls
my handwriting tragic.

He compliments me
like that all the time.

Let go! Chestnut found
this vacation home first.

Legally, it belongs to Chestnut.

- But--
- It's the law.

- But--
- You gonna break the law?

- No, but--
- Dirty little lawbreaker!

- Dirty little lawbreaker!
- Stop! That's not me!

I'm not that.
Can't I at least say g-goodbye?

[sighs]
Okay, but no crying.

Chestnut doesn't want
a flooded basement.

So, I guess this is it, hat.

'You've chosen a carefree life
of a vacation home.'

And I am left here alone
with my dreams.

[chuckles softly]
Hey, you remember when we cooked
our first egg together?

- Good times.
- Hurry it up.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss the way
you're all pointy on top

and I'll miss the way you absorb
my sweat when I'm sweaty.

And I'll miss
getting ear infections

'cause you're so dirty.
And I'll miss..

[belches]
Excuse me, that was lunch.

And I'll miss how we would send
each other postcards.

'You know, the ones with'

'pictures of cats
wearing little tutus.'

- 'And I'll miss--'
- Now, now, now, now, now, now.

No more sad talking.

Chestnut's heart
isn't made out of stone.

Is it made out of blood?

Listen, Chestnut's going
to make you a sweet deal.

I love sweet deals!

Chestnut will trade you his
vacation home for a hydrofoil.

- A hydrofoil?
- A hydrofoil.

- What's a hydrofoil?
- That there is a hydrofoil.

[Chestnut]
'The rectangle
with the handle and latches.'

Ohhh. A hydrofoil.

Chestnut's gonna look
so fly riding in that.

h*! Little plump child!

What are you doing
with my briefcase?

I need to trade this hydrofoil
for a vacation home.

[splunk!]

Away with you.

But, mister, I need that
to get my hat back!

Hat? Say no more of the word.

If I lost my hat, I, too, would
cry like a little fat boy.

This hat is no ordinary hat.
It is a hat of love.

- Of passion!
- Wow.

It is a hat that will finally
get me a girlfriend.

She will see this hat and say

"Oh, Ancho,
how I love your hat."

"You must sit with me
and do the snuggling."

"Snuggle, snuggle.
Mm, snuggle, yes. Oh, yes ."

This girlfriend,
she will be mine!

Listen up, little tubby child,
you get me a girlfriend

and I'll gladly give you
my briefcase.

You sure I can't just
have it for free?

[gasps]
Look!

[sloop!]
She's right over there.

'She is the flower
that has won my heart.'

[snorting]

- Her?
- Yes.

She is truly
the boat of my dreams.

Go, little fat one.
Go and get her for me.

Do this, and a thousand

briefcases shall be yours!

Excuse me, miss.

Miss? Uh, miss?
Hey, lady!

Sic him, Mr. Muffintops!

I'll k*ll you, man!

[Chowder]
'Aaah! Lady!'

[Chowder screaming]

Oh, my God! Aaaah!
All I need is for you..

Aaaah!
...to go on a date!

[giggles]

Oh, you're much too young
for me.

No, with that guy.

[giggles]
He's much too short for me.

[Chowder]
'No, not him. Him.'

Ooh.

warble! warble!

Well, he is cute.

First, I need you to do me
a little favor.

Anything!

Mr. Muffintops wore
his little self out just now.

I need liquid refreshment, man.

He needs liquid refreshment.

And Mr. Muffintops is
very picky.

He'll only drink
mountain-spring water.

- 'Water! I need some water.'
- Mountain-spring water?

Where am I gonna find
a mountain?

thud! thud! thud! thud!

Hey! Wait up!

[accordion music plays]

[panting]

Cold, delicious
mountain-spring water.

Halt!

That be my spring.
None shall take of it.

[poink!]

None shall take it.

'None shall take it.'

'None shall take it.
None shall take it!'

What part of "none shall take
it" do you not understand?

Give me that!
What is wrong with you?

[inhales deeply]
But, Mr. Ogre, I need the water
so then the lady will date Ancho

and he'll give me a hydrofoil
so then I can get my hat back!

[inhales deeply]

Mm. I'm detecting a pattern
here. Alright, then.

Bring me a fancy tea set,
and you shall have your water.

Okay. A tea set, tea set, tea
set, tea set, tea set, tea set.

Well, don't you look happy.

- Pbht!
- I got my hat back.

It's like the little part of me
that died inside

suddenly it came back to life!

Radda, radda, radda, radda.

What do you mean
"you're still dead inside?"

I think this calls
for a celebration dance!

[up-tempo music plays]

Earthquake! It's an earthquake!

- We were just dancing.
- Well, knock it off.

Chestnut is trying
to get some shut-eye.

Chestnut will take
his mobile home somewhere else

if you can't be quiet.

Yes, sir, Mr. Chestnut, sir!

Oh, yeah.
I forgot to tell you.

I can keep my hat as long
as we never make noise. Ever.

I'm glad to have you back, hat.

- 'Quiet!'
- Sorry.

[instrumental music fades]

[instrumental music]

[chuckles nervously]

What the heck is
taking so long?

I'm going as fast as I can,
woman! These things take time.

We've only got 11 minutes.

Chowder, bring me some
fly spice on the double.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Wait a second.
What is this stuff?

A can of punch munch? Oh, no!

Whoo-whoo-whoo!
Chowder, quick!

Bring me two and half cups
of wee-wee berries! And hurry!

Uh..

[glass shatters]

- Two and half cups, perfect.
- Aaaaaah!

Am I still pretty?

[rattle!]

[whoosh!]

Again, I'm really sorry
about the order.

Here's your money back.

[slosh!]

Well, there went
this week's income.

Radda, radda.

whip! whip! whip! whip!

[Mung]
'Things can't keep
going on like this, Chowder.'

You're forgetting orders,
misreading labels

making messes everywhere.

[echoing]
'Chewing on furniture.'

'Digging up holes.'

[up-tempo music plays]

[sproing!]

[boing!]

[splat!]

[moaning]

- Chowder!
- Huh? Huh? What?

Are you listening to me?!

Uh, yeah. You were saying how
you think it would be a good

idea to fill the whole kitchen
with chocolate-fudge pudding.

That way we'll be able to swim
in pudding any time we want.

Lucky guess.

But, Chowder, you've become
a real scatterbrain.

A scatterbrain?
That's good, right?

No! It's not good!

Being a scatterbrain
means you're

a danger
to everyone in the kitchen.

Oh, no! I don't want to be a
scatterbrain! Help me, Mung!

- Help me!
- Don't worry.

I'm gonna whip that soft brain
of yours into tip-top shape.

Oh, thank you, Mung, thank you.
Can we still swim in pudding?

[groans]
Yes.

Okay, Chowder, here is your
first brain-training exercise.

We'll focus your mind
on paying atten.. Chowder!

[slurping]

A good chef has to be able
to take orders

so he can help
with the front desk

whenever this place is packed.

But this place is never packed.

The only person who's,
who's ever in here

is that creepy guy who just
stands in the corner all day.

[rustle!]

Now, we will pretend
to be customers.

[clears throat]
I would like to order a dozen
cheesy stenchiladas.

A dozen, that's five, right?

No, sixteen? No, three.

Wait, you said extra-cheesy,
right?

You know, cheese gives you
the toots.

[chuckling]
I get the toots a lot.
I mean, a lot!

A lot, a lot, a lot, a lot,
a lot, a lot, a lot..

Wait, what were we
talking about? Oh, your order!

I got 50 extra-cheesy toots.
Anything else?

Oh, look at that.
It's closing time.

Sorry, no more orders.
You have to go.

Chowder, what are you doing?
I said "pretend"! Pre..

[door slams]

This is far worse than
I thought.

We got to train him harder

that is, when Chowder decides
to open up.

Okay, Chowder,
for your next brain exercise

I'mma gonna make this
really simple for ya.

- Okay. Yeah?
- All you got to do...is..

- Ah-huh.
- ..put this spoon away.

- That's it.
- Got it!

Now, repeat back to me
what I just told you.

Repeat back to me
what I just told you.

- No! Before that!
- Before what?

Just put the spoon
back where it belongs!

[sighs]

- Oh.
- Ummmmm..

- The spoon!
- Uhhhhhhhhh..

- Put away...now!
- Yeah.

[splat!]

No, Chowder.

'Chowder, no!'

'No! Not there, Chowder!'

[whir!]

[sproing!]

[rip]

[sighs deeply]

Hey, Mung, did you
happen to see..

I'll...go look over here.

Chowder, the spoon
belongs in the spoon drawer.

The spoon drawer! Of course!
It makes perfect sense.

The spoon in the spoon drawer.
Wait.

W-what goes
in the spoon drawer, again?

- The spoon.
- The spoon! Of course!

I failed the exercise.
I let you down.

I'll always be a scatterbrain!

[inhales sharply]

[crying]
Always, always, always!

No. Wait.
There's one more possibility.

It's a bit risky,
but I'm pretty sure it'll work.

Alwa-a-a-a-a-ys!!

[air hissing]

First, we'll add some books
for general knowledge

a globe for a little geography

a calculator for some math
skills, some nerd gear.

Always. Always. Always.

May I present to you

brain grub.

[sniffing]

[twang!]

Smells delicious! What is it?

A dish that will nourish
your brain

and help it
to become smarter..

Maybe. But be careful,
your brain must grow slowly

so only eat
a small bit of the..

munch! munch! munch!

No, Chowder, stop eating!

Stop! I said stop!

Gee, man, control yourself.

- How do you feel?
- I don't know. Still hungry.

Good. For a minute there,
I thought you ate too much.

creak!

Oh, my gosh!
Chowder, y-your brain!

Aah! What's happening to me?

J-just stay calm.
Don't worry.

I-I-I'll think of something.

Schnitzel, think of something!

[door slams]

[tires screech]

Help, Mu-u-u-u-u-ng!

Uh, try breathing like this.

Hoo-hee-hoo-hee..

Mung, what's happening to
me-e-e-e-e-?

Chowder, are you okay?

Spoons go in the spoon drawer,
forks go in the fork drawer

and the whiskernoogin goes
in the whiskernoogin drawer.

Chowder, the brain grub worked!

You mean to say
that I am no longer classified

as a scatterbrain?

This is most joyous of days!

Chowder, pass me the fungus oil.

- Here you are.
- This isn't fungus oil.

Actually, fungus oil isn't
quite appropriate

for this particular dish.

I'm certain you'll find
cream berry sauce

suits this recipe better.

Oh, you do, huh?

[crash!]

Mmm. That's a good call,
Chowder.

Now, to finish off the dish,
we must add a dash

of sliced fingerdingys.

Um, actually, I think
the tangyness of these

tangy tangaroos will be
a much better complement.

I think you might be wrong
on this one, Chowder.

Uh, no, I'm sure I'm right.
I'm smart now.

- I say sliced fingerdingys.
- Tangy tangaroos.

- Sliced fingerdingys.
- Tangy tangaroos

- Sliced fingerdingys!
- Tangy tangaroos!

Sliced fingerdingys!
Now, look, it's my kitchen

and I say sliced fingerdingys,
so there!

Mung, I hate to point this out

but only a scatterbrain
would put that in a dish.

- A scatterbrain?
- Wait a second.

Fingerdingys, tangaroos,
wee-wee berries, stenchiladas

these aren't even real foods!

They're just dumb made-up names.

What are you talking about?
Of course they're real.

No! This place, these colors..

I understand it all.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

That's enough crazy talk.

There's a reason why we're all
weirdos who make strange food.

We're in...a cartoon!

- Cartoon?
- Radda?

Yes. Just a silly cartoon.

And as long as we stay here,
we'll remain scatterbrains.

[gasps]
That's it!

I'll use my brainpower
to change this show

into something smarter.

[grunting]

[electricity crackles]

[farts]

[chuckles nervously]
Sorry.

Chowder, stop!

Okay. Let 'er rip.

[zap]

[sizzle]

Schnitzel, do something!

Greetings, everyone.
Today we'll be discussing

the stimulating topic
of organic and inorganic foods

with my good friend
Dr. Carrot Carrington

Thank you, Chowder.
Science tells us

that the distinctive

You've got to be kidding me!

- Radda, radda, radda, radda!
- Schnitzel is right.

This snoozefest is what you
replace our show with?

But this is smarter,
and I'm smarter.

Isn't that what you wanted?

I just wanted things
to stop blowing up in my face.

Look at the horror
you've created.

You've made cooking boring.

...of the natural variety
of fruits

found in warmer climates..

Look what's happened to other

No. What have I done?

Getting rid

No, Chowder, don't!

[electricity crackling]

Ah, just great,
you broke the TV. You happy?

Now we got no show!

- Come on, Schnitzel.
- Radda, radda, radda.

- It's good to have you back.
- Where'd I go?

- It's a long story.
- Does it have pirates in it?

- No. What? No.
- What about ninjas?

Cowboy spacemen
with rabbits for feet?

Yup, it's really good
to have you back.

- Hey, what's this do?
- Chowder, no!

Remember, Chowder,
to be a great chef

you have to have
