[tinkling]

Radda! Radda, radda!

Stop fooling
around, Shnitzel!

You're ruining the dish!

[roars]

Radda, radda!

Good idea! We need something
cold! Fr-r-rapple juice!

Someone get me some ice-cold
fr-r-rapple juice!

- Fr-r-rapple--
- Right here!

[gluggling]

Ahh!

Much better.

Radda, radda, radda!

Ahh!

Huh?

[chuckles]

[mumbles]

Whoa!

[crash]

Ahh!

Hey, wait a sec!

Ahh.

[mumbles]

[slurping]

Mmm!

[burps]

Okay, maybe it was
too much hot sauce.

[slurping]

Ahh!

Oh, my gosh! Shnitzel!

Shnitzel!

[groans]

- Radda?
- Oh, Shnitzel

thank goodness!
Here's a mop.

This places needs to be cleaned
before the stains set in.

[Chowder]
'Hey, Shnitzel, I --'

[burping]

'Whoops! Sorry.'

'Hey, Mung, is there any more
of that frapple juice?'

[burps]

'Excuse me.'

[shivering]

[humming]

[bell dings]
Ah, a customer?

- Radda, radda.
- What? What do you want?

- Radda, radda, radda.
- A raisin?

You want a raisin?
I don't have any raisins.

- Radda, radda, radda.
- What? What?

- I can't hear you!
- Radda, radda!

What? Huh? What?!

[Mung]
'Honey, is Shnitzel in there?'

Yeah, he's here
asking for a raise!

[Mung]
'You're gonna give it to him?'

What, are you crazy?

- Radda, radda!
- Huh? What? Huh?!

I can't hear you!

What? Huh?

Where you going?
I'm not done ignoring you.

Radda, radda.
Radda!

[Truffles]
'Quit? You can't quit.'

Who's gonna hire
a bum like you?

[instrumental music]

Hey, that, uh -- that
thing on your beak?

- My snood?
- Yeah, your snood.

Seriously, dude, I can't even
look at that thing.

You got to think about
getting it removed.

My wife likes my snood.

You're a lucky, lucky man.

[footsteps]
[screech]

Man, that guy looks
like he just quit a job

he never thought he'd
have to quit.

Bummer.

Okay, seriously, I'm gonna puke

if I got to keep
looking at that thing.

[doorbell rings]

[Endive]
'Be right there!'

[thudding]

[door creaks]

[thudding]

[blink]

- What do you want?
- Radda, radda.

[Endive]
You're here about the job?!

[slam]

Oh, I'm sorry.

I just stepped out
of the shower.

So, you've come to your senses

and want to work
for a real chef, huh?

Radda, radda.

Well, let me see

if you're right
for the position.

Tall, cute..

[clanking]

...rock-solid.

[inhales sharply]

Well, you're overqualified.

[giggles]

Ooh, right this way, dear.

We have lots of work to do.

[droop]

Thank you!

[zing]

[thunder crashing]

[sighing heavily]

I miss Shnitzel.

Everything around here
reminds me of him.

[grunting]

We're getting along
fine without him.

[thud]

Shnitzel's swear jar?

[sighs heavily]

[grunting]

We don't need that traitor!

Shnitzel's apron?

[sniffs]

[sighs heavily]

[slurp]

We're more than capable
of doing this on our own!

[thud]
Oh, let's start looking
for a replacement.

[fireworks whistling]

Panini, I want to
introduce the new man

that will be working for us.

You used to work with
Chowder, right?

- Radda.
- Ahh!

I want you to tell me
everything about him!

What's his favorite color?
What's his favorite food?

What's his favorite cartoon?
I bet it's "Chowder"!

Get back to work!
Sorry about that.

You know how girls are with
their little crushes.

[ting-a-ling]

[squeaking]

[giggles]

[clears throat]

Right this way, Mr. Shnitzel.

I'll get you started
on your new job

but first we have to get
you out of those rags.

[bird chirping]

[giggles]

Mmm, someone's
working up a sweat.

Phew!

[giggles]

Oh, yoo-hoo! Pool boy!

The hedges could use a trim!

[clippers clacking]

boing

[water splashes]

Ohh, help me!

I can't swim!

- Radda?
- Whatever shall I do?

If only the pool boy
would save me!

Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle!

Radda!

boing

[water burbling]

[grunting]

Radda!

Ohh, radda. Radda, radda.

[squeak]

[ding]

[squishing]

[thunk]

[sloop]

[creak]

[inhales deeply]

[exhales]

Mmm!

- Radda!
- My hero!

- However can I repay you?
- Radda.

I know! I'll honor
my hero with a feast!

Radda?

[chomping]

[burp]
Ohh! pardonmoi.

[chomping]

Panini, dear, more gravy,
please.

Yes, Miss Endive.

Here you are.

Hi, Shnitzel.

Are you enjoying your
first day on the job?

Hehehe Radda, Ra--

Panini! How's your
horrible toe fungus doing?

- I don't have any toe fungus.
- Of course, you do.

Now leave before you spread

your disgusting fungus
onto Shnitzel here.

- But I don't have --
- Begone, child!

So, Shnitzel, did you enjoy
your first day on the job?

Radda, radda!

It's obvious your talents
were being wasted

at Mung's barnyard
of a kitchen.

I can assure you that won't
happen here.

I plan on using you well--
very well.

I'd like to propose a toast--

to Shnitzel, a manly man,
full of man!

May your time here be filled
with health, happiness

and commitment.

Chowder, I have hired
a replacement Shnitzel.

Oh, Tofu-u-u-u!

Tofu!

[both]
Aah!

Tofu, Tofu!

Whoa! He's a big'un!

[straining]

[laughs]

Yes, chowder, he is
bigger and stronger

than the old Shnitzel.

Now we'll really be able to get
things done in here.

Assignment -- Tofu, I need you
to separate these eggs.

- Tofu!
- Okay, have fun.

[eggs laughing]

- Look at the little square!
- What a cube!

[laughs evilly]

Tofu!

[both]
You'll never be round
like us...

Like us.. Like us..

[growling]

Aah!

[breathing heavily]

Aah!

[growling]

Ugh!
Tofu, Tofu.

Uh, Mr. Tofu, sir?

[growling]

Unfortunately, we,
uh, don't have

need for your
services anymore.

Aw, man. That's the second
job this week.

Tofu, Tofu.

[squish]

[crash]

He may have been
bigger and stronger

but he was crazier!

I miss Shnitzel!

Chowder, please!
Come on now!

If you start crying,
I'll start crying.

[both crying]

I miss him, too!

One way or another

we're gonna get our crazy
rock monster back!

[Shnitzel humming]

[dishes squeaking]

[whistling]

[squeeze]

Care to join us for some
chamomile tea?

[giggles]

Radda, radda, radda.

Ooh!

[giggling]

Ooh, all that washing really
buffs up those arms!

[giggles]

- It's worse than I thought.
- They're torturing him.

And just look at
her curtains -- yuck!

Initiate plan
bravo delta niner.

Agent Chowder, you keep
a lookout.

Truffles, prepare to descend.

Okey-dokey.

No mercy!

No surrender!

Excellent!

[bell ringing]

Shh! There's our cue!

Operation get Shnitzel back,
phase one.

[bell ringing]

[Endive]
'Coming, Mr. mailman!'

That's right,
you boiled cabbage.

Get your mail.

Ready to descend,
my sweet potato?

Affirmative, honeybuns.

Mmm.

[lips smacking]

I like honey buns.

I must say that uniform looks
quite dashing on you today.

Oh! for little old me?

Oh, my! A love letter!

"My dearest Miss Endive --"

[giggles]

"Your lips are like
red ropes of licorice.

Your eyes baste my heart
with heart juice."

It made me almost
barf writing it, but at least

it'll keep her busy until --

oh, no! She's a speed reader!

Come on. Come on.
Come on.

Careful. Careful.

[glass clinking]

Chowder, that's not being
careful!

[glass breaking]

I must remember to punish
those shelves later.

Shnitzel, attend to this mess,
please.

Now!

[slide]

[Shnitzel]
Huh?!

Shnitzel, guess who made --

Mung Daal!

Get your filthy hands
off my hired help!

Aah!

[whoosh]

Ha! You missed, woman!

[alarm ringing]

[siren blaring]

Uh-oh.

[clunk]

Help! help!
She's gonna sit on us!

I don't want to die
like that!

Me, neither!
Hurry!

We got to knock that door down!

[clang]

- 'Radda!'
- Well, well, well..

I'd say it was nice
of you to visit

but, uh, well, that
would be a lie.

Well, it ain't nice from
my point of view, either.

Ohh! You'll never take Shnitzel!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Panini,
toss your cookies now!

Yes, ma'am.

swoosh

[chomp]

[slam]

- Hi, Chowder.
- I'm not your boyfriend!

[groans]

Good cookies, though.

[whoosh]

Ohhh-ah!
Hoo-wah!

Hoo! Ahhh!
Hoo! Ha! Ha!

Ah-ohh!
Ha! Wah!

Whoa!

I'm taking Shnitzel home.
He belongs with us

with people
who care about him..

Ohh! Radda!

...and respect him..

...and pay him just
to the minimum wage!

[bang]

Just give up.

I don't give up
on my friends, Endive.

B-b-b-b!

[both grunting]

Step off my husband, sister.

[zing]
[plunk]

Wahh!

Pain of a thousand
flushes!

[squeak]

Ahh!

[crash]

[indistinct]

Behold the power
of my derriere.

[laughs evilly]

Uh, Miss Endive, I'm gonna take

my friend Shnitzel home now.

And how are you possibly
going to do that, little man?

Like this.
Uhhhhhh.

And what was
the point of that?

That, my dear Endive, is
what's known as a distraction.

[Shnitzel]
Radda!

[blowing raspberry]

[sighs]
Panini, go get me
a hot smudge sundae.

- Yes, Miss Endive.
- Make it a double!

Good work, g*ng!
Now, let's get Shnitzel out

of this garbage bag.

Ew. Radda.

[rattle]

You can thank us for saving you
when we get home, Shnitzel.

Radda, radda, radda!
Radda, radda, radda!

- Radda, radda, radda!
- You like working for Endive?

[giggles]
In your scrawny face.

How could she appreciate
you more than we do?

Radda, radda, radda!

She gave you a raise?

- Radda.
- Okay.

I can't afford
to give you a raise

but I can give you something

that I've never given
anyone before

something so special
that only an employee

who shows true courage,
devotion, and hard work

can receive!

Huh?!

Congratulations, Shnitzel.

This pocket comb is yours!

[crickets chirping]

Wait!

[squeak]
[steam whistling]

Radda!

Oh, yeah, you
don't have any hair.

Radda, radda!

Radda, radda, radda!

[laughs]
Maybe someday you'll learn

how to treat a man right.

I know how to treat a man!

[crickets chirping]

Just not a rock monster man.

[crying]

I can't tell you how much it
means to me that you came back.

Radda, radda, radda.

Now, now, Shnitzel.
Honey, calm down.

Radda, radda, radda,
radda!

That's all in the past.

"Passé" as they say.

[ting-a-ling]

Oh! Excuse my French.

- Radda, radda, radda.
- Shh!

Close your eyes.

Hit it, Margarine!

[ "Wedding march" playing ]

Oh.

♪ Here comes the bride ♪♪♪

[humming]

[swallows hard]

Radda, radda, radda.
Radda, radda, radda!

What?! What do you mean
"This is just a job"?

I thought what we had was real!

You--you came back for me,
because you love me, right?

Right?!

Radda, radda, radda.

[Endive]
'You have a girlfriend?!'

So, you like
to lead women on?! Huh?!

[gasping]

Huh?!

Huh?!

Uh, radda...
Radda, radda.

Uh, radda, radda, radda.

My heart is not a piece of dough

for you to twist!

Margarine, you can stop playing
that song.

[music stops]

Play something, um, sinister.

[sinister music playing ]

Perfect.

- Now, where was I?
- Uh, radda?

No, I said that.

Oh, the heck with it.

I'll just do it
the old-fashioned way.

Radda?

[clang]

[water bubbling]

Awake, are we?

Perhaps I didn't make this
terribly clear earlier

but I don't take
rejection well.

It's one of my very few flaws.

But I forgive you.

I think it can still work
between us.

[Shnitzel speaking
indistinctly]

Eat you? Oh, please.

I just figured a light braising
might soften you up

to the thought of marriage.

Why don't you stew it over

for a minute and let me
know when you're ready?

[laughs evilly]

Oh, honey!

[thudding]

- You will not escape my love!
- Pbht!

Oh! My eye!

[Shniztel grunts]

[groaning]

Love me!!

[gasping]

[groaning ]

What?

[sniffing]

I love a man
who plays hard to get.

[gasping]

[grunts]

[Skeleton]
'Oh, hi.'

[flies buzzing]

Uh, radda, radda?

I'm one of the skeletons
in Endive's closet.

Please help me.

[panting]
Radda, radda! Radda.

[laughing nervously]

I have one more
question about Chowder.

- Huh?
- Does Chowder want kids?

'Cause I want
a million zillion!

Aah!

We can start picking out
China and -- and linens!

We'll be so happy together!

I just know it!

Chowder, Chowder,
Chowder, Chowder, Chowder.

Now kiss me, you fool!

[floating]

Radda!

He jumped, Ms. Endive.

They always do, my dear.
They always do.

Oh.

[chuckling]

Radda, radda.

Whoa!

Radda!!!!!!!!

Radda?

[chain clinking]

[scribbling]

[creator]
'There. All better.'

Hey, Shnitzel, it's me, your
creator.

Listen, dude, I'm telling ya.

You got to go back to Mung's.

- Radda!
- Don't you get it?

Without you there, nothing's
right!

It's like the cosmos
is out of whack!

Oh, radda radda.

Radda, radda, radda.
Radda, radda, radda!

They don't appreciate you?
That's crazy talk.

When you were deathly sick
with the plague pox

who nursed you back to
health with homemade soup?

Oh, radda, radda.

That's right, pal--
Mung and Chowder.

And when you needed to borrow

your student loans,
who gave you the cash--

no questions asked?

- Oh, radda. Radda, radda.
- That's right.

And when you ended up lost in
the bad part of lasagna town

after that-- that really crazy
birthday party

who drove five hours
to come and get you?

Radda, radda, radda.

Oh, well, if they had known

you were in trouble, I'm--

I'm sure they would have come.

Anyhoo, you need them
as much as they need you.

Here, watch this.

I feel dead inside, Mung.

Me too, Chowder.
Me too.

Please, pass the blutter.

[creator]
'Here you go.'

- Radda, radda!
- So, what's it gonna be?

Do they really mean
nothing to you?

[streak]

[crash]
[both gasping]

[both]
Shnitzel!

[grunting]

Radda!

Shnitzel, you came back
and saved us from the giant

stinkin' blutter
that somehow fell on us!

So, does this mean you think
you're gonna come back?

Hmm.

Please, please,
please, please, please, please!

- Hmm.
- We'll give you

every other Friday off!

Hmm.

I'll give you
a shiatsu massage.

Hmm.

I'll give you my heart forever.

Hmm.

- I'll give you a raise!
- Hmm.

- A big raise?
- Hmm.

[Chowder]
'Snitzel?'

I don't know if it means much

but if you stay, you can have
this pudding cup.

It's the first thing

we ever cooked together.

I saved it
'cause it means a lot to me.

[whimpers]

Rah!

[chomping]
[gulps]

[belches]

Rad-da.

You'll stay?!

Yay!

[belches]

[Mung]
'Let me call an ambulance,
Schnitzel.'

'We better get your stomach
pumped.'

[Schnitzel]
'Radda!'

A little to the left.

Left-- my left.

Better.
Wait!

- No, to the right.
- 'Radda?'

I know, put it on
the very top shelf.

Way up there.

[Shnitzel]
'Radda, radda?'

Yeah. Tippy toes.

To the left.

A little bit h-higher.

Stretch!

One more.

Just a little bit more!

[Shnitzel]
Radda, raddaaaaa!

[crash]

Nope, too low.

[chomping]
