00:00You
00:30Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb!
01:00Good morning, little flower faces.
01:09Did we all make a lot of oxygen last night?
01:12Oh, hey!
01:16What's gotten into you?
01:20Whee!
01:25Okay, miss, six saplings.
01:27Where do you want them planted?
01:29Mmm.
01:44Hey!
01:50So now you're telling me there's what,
01:52bad cholesterol and good cholesterol?
01:54Right, right.
01:57Oh, in the rough.
02:09Found it!
02:10Marty!
02:11Careful, chum. I don't like the look of these prickly succulents.
02:26What's happening to the plants in this city?
02:29Yes, they do seem restless.
02:39Oh, like the movies.
02:41Ha-ha!
02:42Okay, cacti, what are you up to?
02:55What's going on?
02:56Give me the skinny.
02:58Tick, they're plants.
02:59They can't talk.
03:00Besides, it's not just them.
03:01This is happening all over the city.
03:04La la la the la la la.
03:08La la la la la la!
03:14La la la la la la.
03:16Hey, hey, a pinch more lime up there.
03:19There.
03:24Bee Twins.
03:26Yes, Elsie.
03:27Just the other day, I am thinking, you know what I hate?
03:32You hate the humans.
03:33I hate the humans.
03:35They really get my goat.
03:37I'm not so fond of goats, either.
03:42In fact, the whole animal kingdom really fries my flom.
03:46More chlorophyll in Beekor 7.
03:49When the earth was young, the plant kingdom was in the driver's seat.
03:55Oh, there was the occasional animal, the bees, for example,
03:59flitting from flower to flower, not for conquest, but for love.
04:10These animals, they are troublemakers, always moving
04:14around with their feet and their wings and their wheels.
04:19They eat us, they wear us, they put us in pots, they squeeze us for juice.
04:33It's grotesque.
04:35But soon all this will change.
04:37This vegetation vitalizer will free all plant life to rise up against the animal oppressor.
04:43Bee Twins.
04:45No longer must we vitalize one plant at a time.
04:49This time we will get the whole city in a single whack.
04:55I have rented a drop duster.
05:01Oh, a free truck.
05:03You know, I don't get it, Arthur.
05:05I've always operated under the assumption that plants are good.
05:09And now this.
05:11I just can't get my mind around it.
05:15That's a violation of your airspace.
05:21Follow that plane.
05:23That's a violation of your airspace.
05:27Animals, your days are numbered.
05:31One part bite and I serve to a million zillion parts water.
05:37The recipe for revolution.
05:39Why would they crop dust the park?
05:48There are no crops here.
05:50Look.
05:51Hey, those trees are going nuts.
05:54We've got to stop that plane.
05:56Off my plane, Blue Monkey.
06:16I don't know who you are or what you're up to, mister.
06:20But I want this plane on the ground project.
06:22No, I rented it for the whole day.
06:27Just give me that stick, paddlehead.
06:41And don't come back.
06:46Tick.
06:52Are you okay?
06:55I feel funky.
06:57Monkey funky?
07:02Uh-oh.
07:12Come on, Tick.
07:13Get with it.
07:14We've got to get out of here.
07:17Tick!
07:18Help me!
07:19Get me down!
07:21Put that monkey down.
07:27Hmm.
07:28Looks like the park's gone bad.
07:30Could be a job for...
07:32The Cynic Minded Five!
07:38Okay, gang.
07:40Let's do roll call.
07:42Four-legged man!
07:43Captain Mucilage!
07:45The Carpeted Man!
07:47Jungle Janet!
07:48And yes, feral boy.
07:53Okay, top priority.
07:57Get those kids down!
07:58All right, Civic Minded Five!
08:00Let's make a difference!
08:04I'll stop those trees with my streams of high-pressure mucilage!
08:07Let's get sticky!
08:14By rubbing my carpeted feet over any surface,
08:16I can create a tremendous charge of static electricity!
08:19Gotcha!
08:23Gotcha!
08:24Gotcha!
08:25I'm so hot in this suit!
08:34Cut it out!
08:35Hey, my change!
08:37Monkey, monkey...
08:39Get me off!
08:40Get me off!
08:41Get me off!
08:41Get me off!
08:42Get me off!
08:55Get me off!
08:56Oh!
08:57Arthur, are you okay?
08:59What are you doing here?
09:00Janet, Flower.
09:02Oh, thanks.
09:05All I know is there's this guy in this airplane,
09:07and he was spraying the park, and everything went crazy,
09:10and the tick jumped up on his airplane,
09:12and they had this big fight, and the tick fell off the airplane,
09:15and he was all glowing and green, and now he's like this.
09:19Potato?
09:29Oh, busy, busy bee twins, what's the use?
09:37Come on, Elsie, don't feel so down.
09:39You're good at this, we love you.
09:42But I spilled all the vitalizer on that big blue monkey.
09:46We're making more, we're making lots.
09:50There's no time.
09:51I have to return the airplane to the rental place
09:53by tomorrow morning.
09:55I heard they start charging by the hour.
09:58You can fly at dawn.
09:59Besides, the revolution's already begun.
10:02A few uppity trees in the park is no revolution.
10:06I wanted a moment.
10:09That was no moment.
10:11They look up to you.
10:13Oh, you're right.
10:16I shouldn't be so hard on myself.
10:18After all, I am Elsie.
10:21I am the self-proclaimed liberator of the plant population.
10:25Bee twins, that was my mistake.
10:28The city is no place to start the plant revolution.
10:31We have an army right here.
10:34It's all around us.
10:36And it is enormous.
10:38Ha ha ha ha.
10:39Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
10:48You know, I'm feeling a lot better.
10:50Tick, you've got to see a doctor about this.
10:53No, really.
10:55I feel full of life.
10:56Ha ha ha ha.
10:58Next.
11:04Well, I've never seen anything like it.
11:07This calls for expensive testing.
11:09Your friends got pits.
11:20That was the scene late today when a strange tree riot broke out in the city park.
11:26A surprisingly brave handful of our city superheroes fought through the day saving park goers and
11:31And finally subduing the dangerous greenery.
11:34Many of the heroes were brought to the city hospital with minor injuries and severe splinters.
11:38More after this.
11:41You know, Gary, if you'd just take off that stupid suit, you wouldn't keep getting overheated.
11:45But...
11:46I'm the carpeted man.
11:48Without this suit.
11:50I am nothing.
11:51Relax.
11:52It's okay.
11:53It's all over.
11:54Relax.
11:55It's okay.
11:56It's all over.
11:57I didn't even want to be involved.
11:58I got jumped by a hedge.
11:59Where are the cops in this town?
12:02Ah!
12:03I hate broccoli.
12:05And yet, in a certain sense, I am broccoli.
12:09Uh, Tick.
12:10I have the results of your test.
12:13Lay it on me, Doc.
12:14Let me be honest.
12:15I don't know anything about this condition, but offhand, I'd say you've got 12 hours.
12:2112 hours?
12:22And then what?
12:23Well, he may end up a vegetable.
12:26Man!
12:31Man!
12:32What do we do now?
12:33Well, we find the vegetable villain who did this to me and get the antidote.
12:38There's an antidote?
12:39Villains always have antidotes.
12:41They're funny that way.
12:43Well, okay.
12:44Then there's an antidote, and we have to get it.
12:47We know that Flower Head Guy's got it.
12:49Well, where is he?
12:51Um...
12:52He could be anywhere.
12:54But he rented that crop duster, right?
12:57Um...
13:00And there's only one place I know where you can rent a crop duster!
13:10Hello, this is Jeff.
13:12Uh, hi, Jeff.
13:13Uh, listen.
13:14You want a duster, right?
13:15No.
13:16Jeff, listen.
13:17Did you rent a crop duster to a guy with a flower for a head?
13:20Hey, I rent out to a lot of people.
13:22What kind of flower?
13:23I'm very busy.
13:25Uh, Jeff.
13:26Tick here.
13:27Uh, where can we find this guy?
13:28It's a medical emergency.
13:29All right.
13:30Hang on a second.
13:31Yes.
13:32I rented a plane to one El Seed this morning.
13:34He's staying at the Old Abandoned Greenhouse.
13:35Right!
13:36But it's a ways down the road.
13:38How far did Jeff say it was to El Seeds?
13:50He said it was a ways.
13:53Well, how many blocks is that?
13:57Got it.
14:10Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
14:36So long, oppressor monkeys!
14:38Ha, ha, ha, ha!
14:39No one could survive that much corn!
14:49Tick, can you do corn?
14:51I don't know. I've never tried.
14:59Hi, guys.
15:05We're on the march.
15:09Soldiers of corn, lend me your ears.
15:19Ooh, that's bad.
15:21Already I joke.
15:23And I don't even rule the world yet.
15:25You are the glorious army of El Cid!
15:30That's me.
15:31I am on a big power trip,
15:34and you are coming with me!
15:36Okay, there you go.
15:38Here, take a pen.
15:40My assistants, the lovely B-Twins,
15:44will pass out medical waiver forms
15:46and ballpoint defense.
15:48Please print cleaning!
15:50He's a madman!
15:52Hey, what kind of corn soldiers are you?
15:56Uh, we're, uh, we're, uh, I guess.
15:59We're, uh, I guess.
16:01We're colonels!
16:01Uh, there you go.
16:07Today we destroy the works of man
16:10and replace them with the works of El Cid!
16:15The 12 hours is almost up.
16:17We've got to get the antidote.
16:19When I was taking night courses at Agricultural College,
16:23a fine school, I learned three things.
16:26One, never stand in the back of a cow.
16:29Two, people and plants can never live in harmony.
16:32Three, if you really want something, you take it!
16:37Well, I want the world!
16:43Okay, El Cid, where's the antidote?
16:47What antidote?
16:48Thirty seconds.
16:50Listen, I don't have time for any of this villain banter!
16:54Oh, that antidote.
16:57He's right over there.
17:04Let's make a difference!
17:08Let's get out of here!
17:10Is it very warm in here or is it me?
17:17Tick!
17:19We can use the crop duster to spray that antidote on the corn army!
17:24Ooh, plane ride!
17:28Hello?
17:29Corn army?
17:30Destroy them!
17:31Oh!
17:32Oh!
17:33Oh!
17:34Oh!
17:35Oh!
17:36Oh!
17:37Oh!
17:38ですね!
17:39Oh!
17:41Oh!
17:42Oh!
17:43Ah!
17:44Oh, my God.
18:14Oh, I hate this.
18:23This is fantastic.
18:26I love being superheroes.
18:29I knew you would.
18:30All right, sir, you've had your fun.
18:33We're putting you under citizen's arrest.
18:36Feral boy, don't put that in your mouth.
18:38It was moving two minutes ago.
18:41You know, when a tomato grows out of your forehead,
18:44it gets you thinking,
18:46what do we know about anything?
18:49Life is just a big, wild, crazy toss salad.
18:54But you don't eat it.
18:55No, sir, you live it.
18:58Isn't it great?
18:59Isn't it great?
19:00No, it's great.
19:01I don't think we're going to be getting worse.
19:06I might punto down that I could just fall into the bottom of my head.
19:14I'm just a little red.
19:18All are some pretty cool stuff, though.
19:24BAM, BAM!
19:28Thank you so much for watching.
