over to the glow worm trail. You want to go? Who, me? Yes, I would... like to go... to the trail... with you,
there, please? Looks like someone
has a girlfriend. I bet you they'll love
and care for each other. Oh, gross. Oh, man, put some cork
in a twitch. Ooh... smoochy, smoochy. Max! Agh! Both of you! Daisy, sorry, just ignore them. Later then,
at the glow worm trail? Sounds great, Sam.
I'll meet you there! Fantastic! I'll--
I'll see you soon! I can't believe you two! That's pretty much the most
I've said to Daisy ever! Now we're on a date. Can't you two just leave me
alone for two minutes? You're always just tagging
along beside me. Hey, Sammy, wait up! Agh, just leave me alone,
William. I want to talk to you. Forget it. You might have been a little
harsh with Max and Twitch
back there. ( SIGHS ) They started it. They just can't leave me alone,
even for a minute. They're your best friends, bro. If they say stuff that you
don't like, you can't let
it get under your wings. Sometimes others don't
understand that when they
joke around... it can actually hurt feelings. Look, just keep your chin up,
and always take the high flight. Okay. They're your friends, just treat
them how you want to be treated. <i> ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )</i> You! You vile giant! You think you can come into our
world, destroy the natural
beauty that surrounds us? No, sir! Not today!
Not on my watch! [KING]
Die, human scum! No, please!
Take the king, not-- Oh, sir... it's you. Huh? What is it? Your sons, my king... they are late for their fitting. Go! Get 'em! Yes, sir! Agh! I don't really want
to do this, but... I can't be late again.
Dad'll kill me. Sorry, Nature. ( GASPS ) William! Sam! Fly! Sammy! William! William! William? Sammy? Sam, oh, am I glad
to see you. Your father would have
had my head if-- ( GASPS ) Will? Sam, you don't want to-- Will? Will, wake up. Well, he's alive... but barely. William needs
medical attention, now! Take him to the infirmary! Samuel... my son... now is not a time for tears. For eons, we Pixies
have been a proud community... and so it has been
for generations... whomsoever performs a misdeed
against us, suffers the fate
of the Pixie Curse. Samuel, my son, you shall bear
the brunt of our curse
against this enemy. Follow that human back to his
home and insure that he lives
a life of misfortune... for all of eternity,
so say I, king of the Pixies! Don't worry, we'll get him. For sure... we'll get him. We'll get him good. <i> ( MUSIC PLAYING )</i> (SIGHS ) Long day. Ahh... honey, I'm home. Hm, looks like it's just me
and you again, bed. ( SNORING ) That guy can really sleep. Talk about hittin' the snooze
button, huh? Where's Sam? Getting ice cream? You wish. <i> ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )</i> About time. Hello to you, too. Max, Twitch... to insure victory in combat,
you must study your opponent. Admire, respect their
attributes. Now, let's drop a book
on his face. Ow! Stupid shelf. Oh! <i> ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )</i> ( YAWNING ) Yow! Ow! ( LAUGHING ) Oh, man, great work, guys...
seriously. Oh, we've only just begun. <i> ( MUSIC PLAYING )</i> ( CHUCKLES ) ( SNIFFING ) Ahh. Yeah. Hmm. Mm-mm? Don't remember opening that
thing, hmm. Oh, well. <i> ( MUSIC CONTINUES )</i> ( VACUUM RUNNING ) Agh! Oh, no! Fire! Fire! Fire! <i> ( MUSIC CONTINUES )</i> Hmm. Agh! You okay? Yeah, I'm good. Oop, get that. ( MUMBLES INDISTINCT ) Huh? Cat head. Did you say something? Joe, you okay? I'm good. Hmm. <i> ( MUSIC CONTINUES )</i> ( CAR ENGINE STARTS ) Yeah, yeah! Agh! My foot! <i> ( MUSIC CHANGES )</i> For the umpteenth time,
I'm not going out with you, Joe. Aw, come on, Betty,
it'll be great! We could play doctor. No, my work and home lives
are separate, thank you. But we already know
each other so well. And that's why I have to turn
a charmer like you down. Last thing I need to date
is a walking disaster. Ouch. You're a nice guy, Joe... but you'll be a lot nicer
when I don't see you
here three times a week. That was colder
than your stethoscope. Whoa! Whoa! Go on, get out of here.
Scoot, scoot. All right. Git! ( BRAKES SQUEALING ) ( CAR HORN HONKING ) Whoa, yeah, my bad. [JOE]
Sorry. <i> ( MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Something's wrong, my luck
these days is just horrible. Huh? Huh? ( CELL PHONE RINGING ) Hello? Joe, where the heck are you? I'm on my way, sorry,
I had an accident. Again with the accidents. Ma'am, just bring your keys
to Vincent over there and
he'll take good care of you. Vincent? You put Vincent
in the shop? What? He's good. He doesn't know his alternator
from his elbow. Maybe, but his elbow is on time. You said you'd be done in an
hour. One hour, you said! We'll miss the special! How is she supposed
to get her blintzes? I love the blintzes. She loves the blintzes,
crazy about 'em! All she has left
are these blintzes! And now... no blintzes. I don't know what to do
without blintzes. She is lost without these
blintzes. You're tearing her apart here,
I tell you! Apart is what we're torn! Something bad will happen. She needs the blintzes! Joe, just--
just get here quickly. We need you at the desk. Dad, I can work on the--
the cars, Dad! I'm actually very competent. It's not like every second
of my life is a complete
disast-- Whoa. You guys do that one? That one was all
the wingless wonder. ( ALL LAUGHING ) Agh! Just one moment of peace! Oh, my gosh, are you okay? I'm fine, just fine, I-- <i> ( HARP MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Are you sure? Because I hit you
pretty hard with that door. <i> ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Aw, that looks pretty bad. Uh... You know, I wasn't even
paying attention. I was just fiddling around
with my phone thing. Technological distraction,
just more industrial junk
to distract us, right? Ooh, kitty video! <i> ( KITTY MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Guy... hey! Snap out of it. Come on, let's go
get you some ice. <i> ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Take a load off. Oh, relax, I'll be right
back with that ice. Welcome to the jungle, baby. Oh, wow, she's so cute. Maybe my luck has changed. ( SINK RUNNING ) <i> JOE (V.O.)
Um, I should say something.
Uh...</i> You take all these? Yup! Each and every one. This is the Valdez spill? [MICHELLE]
Yeah, I took that one when I was
seven, just before my birthday. Where's this? [GIRL]
Which one? The kid on a pile of tech junk. [GIRL]
Oh, India... you know most of our tech
waste ends up in a landfill
in foreign countries? That's weird, didn't know. [GIRL]
Uh, I might be out of ice. Hey, this tsunami one
is pretty intense. [GIRL]
Yeah, Sumatra... I was having some freshly
roasted coffee with a few
travel mates... when, whoosh! It just hit! I mean, lucky timing,
I guess. Hey, I can't find any ice,
but I got this. Got what? Here. Do you always attack
your guests with meat products? Um, it's Tofurky,
so technically it's not meat. And I don't have ice,
so this is gonna have to do. A vegan with a throwing arm,
I didn't think that was
possible. Hey, if you have a problem
with vegans, you're gonna
have two black eyes. No, no, this is good.
I surrender. Atta boy, we vegans aren't
all that bad, are we? I guess not. Pictures
are a little heavy, though. Negative effects of
environmental abuse was a good
angle for my last art show. I'm actually getting ready
for my next art show this week. It's a diorama set of a 1950's
amusement park, and I've
sculpted everything-- Hear anything? I think I discovered a secret,
human language. ( MUTTERING GIBBERISH ) Hey, guys, check this out. Looks like Joe might
have a girlfriend. We'll see about that. I'd like to hear
what they're saying. You can see it on his face.
He's-- In love. Isn't that how you
look at Daisy? No! I don't! You do! You<i> so</i> do. Okay, dead wings for both
of you. This sculpture is incredible.
You're very talented. Well, thank you,
thank you very much. World traveler, masterful
artist, Elvis impersonator... and a looker to boot. You probably'd say that to all
the people who physically
assault you. No, I'm serious. ( CELL PHONE RINGING ) Uh, hey, Dad, no, I--
I had another-- Yeah, yeah, I know, but I-- I'll be right there. Hear anything? I can't hear a thing
but my conscience crying. What? I mean, maybe we should
take a break. And get lectured by your dad?
No, thanks! I could go for some eats.
There's a Mexican skip
around here. It's supposed to be<i>
muy deliciosa!</i> Is that on your Wing Watchers
approved diet? No, but in the city, no one can
hear me eating burritos. It's actually your silent ones
that are the problem. You are so dead! I'd rather take my dad's
lecture. Listen, I'm running late
for work. Oh, my gosh, I'm sorry
to have kept you. No, no, the pleasure
is all mine. I, uh-- I was wondering-- If I treat you to an apology
dinner for smashing your face? Uh, yeah? Yeah. Sure. For real? My name is Michelle. Joe... nice to have my face
smashed by you. Pleasure was all mine. This is the part where
you ask for my number. I'm-- I'm not very good
at this, am I? No, Joe, you're not. <i> ( OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Max, did you just power bomb
Twitch? <i> Yo quiero nacho libre!
El Supremo Maximo!</i> <i> ( MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Oh, yeah! Who da' man? You da' man. Whoa, that's a lady.
You da' lady, man. Sammy, our mark is leaving. Guys! Come on! Let's give
it a rest for a bit. <i> ( MUSIC CONTINUES )</i> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. She likes me!
She really likes m-- [JOE]
Hey, Dad, I'm gonna be
a little late. ( LAUGHING ) You guys are impossible. <i> ( MUSIC CONTINUES )</i> Hey! Today ruled! Michelle's the greatest thing
I've ever seen. Doo, doo, doo, dah, doo-- Hm? Hm. Stupid toothpaste lid. Hrumph! Give me that! All right,
so life's not perfect. I did get to meet
the girl of my dreams. Tomorrow, it will be better. Wish tomorrow could be better
for me, too, big guy. Sammy, what's the matter? I'm not feeling it.
This isn't fun. You're avenging your brother. The fun part is just... fun. Sam! Let him go! He has to figure
this out by himself. <i> ( MUSIC PLAYING )</i> How's he doing? He's doing much better, Samuel. <i> ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )</i> ( CHUCKLING ) Sam? Sam! I haven't seen you in forever. How are you? I'm great. You look... stunning. Why thank you, fair prince. I've missed-- well,
I've missed being here. I've missed you, too. Sam, you've just missed
the craziest thing. It was insane! Pixie Tom, you know,
the slug farmer? Was flipping his lid! I opened up the gate,
and it's like, Slug-apalooza! You've gotta see this. No, Twitch...
I don't gotta see that. I want to mingle
with my Pixies for once. Oh... oh-- Um... hey, Daisy! Hi, Twitch. Nice to see you and Max
haven't changed. I think that was an insult. Ah, it's gotta be a compliment. That was a compliment, right? Not in your wildest dreams. Hey, Sam, we never
got that date. How about we zip
to the glow worm trail? Without your buddies. Sure, that's great. Wait! What about the curse? <i> ( MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Hello? Hello? Sir? Are you here? Distraction! Well? Whoa? Whoo! It's Samuel,
he's in the village. He's-- Not with the human? Take me to him, at once! That boy has a lesson to learn. You've really surprised me. I thought I'd never
see you again. You can't keep the prodigal son
away from home forever. So what's it like? Being on the outside
all the time? A lot less fun. Humans live to work and there's
no one to really talk to. No? What about Bumble Dee
and Bumble Dumb? Well, they're dependable,
but I think you summed them up
pretty well yourself. Well, I don't see them
around. Do you? I suppose not. Ow! That's two. Want to go for a third? No... you slap too hard. That's the point. Yeah, well, how about
if I gave you a dead wing? Oh! My funny bone! I'm genuinely surprised,
all that extra you doesn't work
like an air bag. I think Sammy's in trouble. <i> ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )</i> ( RUSTLING ) Wow... spoiling the moment... again. Sam, your dad, he's-- Super mad... like veins-bursting-
from-his-head mad. And he's-- Standing in the presence
of the disgrace I call my son. Dad, I-- Save it! When I make a declaration,
I stand by my decree. Here you are making
a fool of yourself... and making a fool
of this family! It's not like that, Dad. Oh, no? Then please explain
to me what this is... because what I see is a son
disobeying his father... so he can trounce around
with some questionable girl. Some, girl? Don't you dare raise your voice
to me, young man! All you care about is vengeance! What about love, Dad? Did you ever think that maybe it
would be nice if I fell in love?
Did you? Love? ( CHUCKLES ) You don't know a thing
about love. Love is when you build a kingdom
with your bare hands... to impress a woman. You spend 110 years
of your life raising
two heirs to the throne... and when someone takes
that all away from you,
you make them pay! And too scared to exact that
revenge yourself, you send me. Get out of my kingdom. Dad-- Get out, leave!
And don't come back. Dad? Sammy? I have to go. Awkward. <i> ( ROCK MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Stupid curse, you want me
to ruin a guy's life? Is that what you want?
Fine. ( ALARM CLOCK BLARING ) ( SQUIRREL CHITTERING ) [JOE] What the-- [JOE] How'd a squirrel get
in here? Those aren't nuts! ( LOUD CRUNCHING ) [JOE] Wait, ow! <i> ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )</i> ( HUMMING ) Ah, toast. Good morning, Mr. Bluebird. Your friend here had a little
success with the ladies. Surprised? I know, so was I. I think today is gonna
be a brand-new start for Joe. Huh? Agh! Hot! It's hot! Agh! Fire! Fire! ( GROANS ) Stupid nature. What a mess? Why me? ( CLINKING ) Huh... hello? Footprints? ( GASPING ) Ah-- ah-- Hey! Wh-- did you just talk? You just talked. You said, "Hey."
I heard you! What are you? I'm not letting you out of there
until you tell me what you are. Fine, I'm here to give you
a memo from the flies
in your kitchen. They're forming a union. You can talk! How?
What are you? I'm a figment
of your imagination. Now go see your psychiatrist. A talking bumble bee?
What a smart aleck. Do I look like a bumble bee?
They're fuzzy. Wish I had a stinger, though.
I'd sting you with my butt. A few more hours in there and
you'll take me more seriously. ( CLEARS THROAT ) Okay, okay... I'm a pixie, okay,
see the wings? Huh... why are you
in my kitchen? I'm-- um, I'm fulfilling
an obligation to my people. Obligation? You have been cursed. Yeah, tell me about it. We cursed you. Hm? You dumped some garbage
into the ravine and my brother
is still badly hurt. You nearly killed me and
destroyed half our village. You've been cursed ever since. All this time, it's been you? Every time I fell
or ran into stuff? All the trips to the hospital? All the embarrassing,
humiliating moments when--
it was you? Why? Why would you
do that to me? I told you, when you-- Because I dumped garbage
into a river? I know, I-- look, it's just
the way we do things. Wait, no!
You can't leave me here! I'm not letting you screw
up my life anymore! <i> ( MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Ahh. Hm. Okay, this is gonna be okay. Any minute now, Max and Twitch
will arrive to save me. Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo! ( SIGHING ) Yup, any minute now. Hey, Dad, lookin' sharp. Joe, we agreed you weren't
supposed to be in here. Now get back to the desk
and answer the phones! Check the ignition cables? Yeah, I checked all the cables,
replaced the fuel pump,
the starter. Give her another start. ( ENGINE TURNING OVER ) Try it again. Joe, I'm warning you. And... that should do it? ( CAR ENGINE STARTS ) What's next, Pops? Hee-yaw! He shoots... he scores! Hee-yaw! Hee-yaw! Huh. Whoa! Whoa... I got it! I got it! Diddah! Hee-yaw... Help. Hey, Joe! Yeah? That was pretty incredible
back there. Yeah? Yeah, remember that promotion
we were talking about? Yeah. Well, let's do it. How about floor manager? Really? You even have tomorrow
off to celebrate. Why don't you go
meet a nice girl? Already one step ahead
of you, Dad. Oh, so that's
what's got you goin'. I'm working on it. Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo! Whoo! Whoo-hoo! Yeah! Go, Little Goobers! I swear by all that is holy... if you don't get off my slug... Agh! this pitch fork is goin
g where the sun don't shine! That was awesome!
Sammy would have loved that. Hey, where is Sammy? Sam? Yeah, uh, Sam. Where are you? I see him. Where? Over there,
he's underneath that glass. What the heck
is he doing in there? Ssh! I'm trying to figure it out. Really? Do you have
to do that now? What? Slug riding
always makes me hungry. Is there anything
that doesn't? Diets-- no, wait,
those make me super hungry. Wake up! Sam! He's not moving. Whoa! Look who's all smiles
and happy time. And he's here to share a little
of that happy time... with the lady he's been
thinking about all day. Referring to yourself in the third person? This has to be something major. I'll give you one guess. Who's got two thumbs, one eye
and a promotion at work? Ooh, who? This guy right here. Stop, Joe! Put me down,
I'm gonna hurl! I just got promoted to the
manager of the car garage. Nothing I'd rather do than
take you out for a nice,
celebration dinner. What do you say? Ah, absolutely. Yes! Ill pick you up at 7:00 sharp. Do you think he's...<i> muerto?</i> Don't say that. Sam? Sammy?
You alive in there? Twitch... Max... Oh, man, I had the worst dream. No dream, I was caught! Twitch, Max, thank goodness
you're here! You guys gotta hide. Great. Hey! Guess what?
I had the perfect day. Not a single incident,
all thanks to this little,
glass jail. Little guy knocked himself out
trying to escape. Tenacious. That was mine! Coast is clear. Hoo-hoo-cah-choo! He can see us, dummy! Look, I almost got out
of here all on my own. With the three of us
working together... we should have no problem
knocking this thing over. Okay, got it. Yo comprende. Um, on the boring days,
I've been reading Joe's
Spanish-English dictionary. On the count of three, we push. One, two, three! Harder! Everything hurts! But we're almost there. One more push. <i> ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Ah-comite-comite-cora!
Ah-comite-comite-cora! Tay-nay-tay, tah-nah-tah... Hooru-hooru, nah-nah-ti-ti-ti... Wakka-fi-fi-fay. Harooha-harooha... ( CHANTING CONTINUES ) He's waking up! Oh... what time is it? Hey, there's more! Run, you fools! Sam, use your wings! Right... but it was just--
it was so much more dramatic
this way. Let's get out of here! Stop! I missed my date. I missed my date with Michelle! This is all your fault. [JOE]
Get back here! ( GROWLING ) That was really close. Look, guys, I'm-- I'm sorry
about what I said before. You were there for me. You're my best friends. I'm sorry... bring it in. Oop, that's a little tight, Max. ( GROWLING ) ( GASPING ) You! Fly. Everybody fly! Yo, 'Zilla! ( ALARM SOUNDING ) ( PIXIES SCREAMING ) Wow. You! ( GASPING ) I just want to be left alone! I missed the perfect date
with the girl of my dreams... because of you and your trap! That was mine. Yeah? That was your trick,
here's mine. ( PIXIES SCREAMING ) Stay away! <i> ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )</i> I didn't mean
for this to happen. Oh, but it did. Not only does this outsider
know we exist... but he has destroyed everything
I've worked so hard to build. Dad, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. <i> ( MUSIC CHANGES )</i> Agh! <i> [MICHELLE]
Hey, Joe, it's Michelle.</i> <i> I'm really looking forward
to tonight and I will see you
in about 20 minutes. Bye.</i> <i> Hey, Joe, it's a little past
7:00 now...</i> <i> and I was just wondering
if you were running late.</i> <i> Call me back.</i> <i> Joe, it's 7:20, and I hope
everything's okay...</i> <i> considering how we met.</i> <i> Look, buddy, it's 7:30
and you are still not here.</i> <i> Seriously? Call me.</i> <i>Listen, I'm not trying to sound
psycho here, but it's 7:45.</i> <i> Where are you?</i> <i> Joe Beck, you stood me up,
you're a jerk!</i> ( PHONE RINGING ) What? Hey... Michelle? Yeah, what do you want? I just wanted to apologize for-- Oh, for being a jerk face? No! Yes-- wait, listen-- I just ran into
a little car trouble. Aren't you a mechanic? <i> Yeah, but-- look...</i> I think you're great, and
I'm hoping you're sweet enough
to give me another chance. Okay, meet me at the
Horn of Plenty tomorrow at noon. That's the vegan restaurant,
right? This time I won't let you down,
I promise! Yeah, you'd regret it. This means war, you know? Hey, Dad, maybe we just do what
he says and leave him alone? Excuse me? Uh, who do you think
you are? I am your son,
and so is William... and he would never approve
of what we've done
to this human. Well, Samuel, tell me, what
would William have approved? Would he have approved of you
bringing death and destruction
upon our kind? He would have talked to the
human, reasoned with him. Reason? You ask for a reason,
your brother may not see another
sunrise and you need a reason. We Pixies do not reason
with our enemies... we are survivors,
we are fighters... and we will exact revenge
and uphold our traditions. We ruined that human's life. It's our tradition that caused
this destruction. No, no, it was a boy who refused
the commands of his king... a son who ignored his father. I am here to keep
all of us safe. That is why I wear the crown. You need to exact revenge! We the Pixies
declare war on Joe! I guess you're right,
I'll do it. You made the right choice,
my son. Pixies! Brothers! Sisters! Prepare yourselves for war! ( LOUD COMMOTION ) <i> ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )</i> <i> ( LOUNGE MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Mm-hm. Hmm. ( CLEARS THROAT ) ( HUMMING ) ( ALL YELLING ) <i> ( MUSIC PLAYING )</i> ( CAR HORN HONKING ) Hey, thank you. Sorry to keep you waiting,
I had car trouble. I thought you didn't drive? Gotcha. Come on, let's go inside. What's on your tie? It's a Kathulu. Gesundheit. No, no, it's a Kathulu. It's a cosmic entity
that's a mix of human,
dragon and octopus. Oh, that Kathulu. Yeah, he's awesome, right? Yeah. Welcome to the Horn of Plenty... where food is thy medicine
and medicine is thy food. My name is Alex and I
will be your server. Please look over our menu. Well, there's a chipper,
young lad. Oh, yeah, he looks thrilled
to be here. Agh! Are you kidding me! What? Oh, uh, the menu! They have, uh, durian. Oh, you like durian? Sure, yeah, love it. Uh, just like Mom used to make. I've, uh-- it's a ritual I have. I use the menu
and I slam it shut. Then I-- I work it like
a butterfly... and I get the aroma
of the kitchen in. Mm. Um, I've never heard of that. Mm. Oh, wow, you are so right.
I can totally smell the miso. Look out! A fig? Are you hungry, sir? How about I bring you
some bread? Are you... okay? Yeah, I had a horrible
experience at Christmas once. Figs were involved...
it didn't end well. Ugh, tell me about it,
the holidays can be pretty
traumatic. This one time, my mom and I were
decorating our tree when my dad
came in and, um-- Agh! Your bread... and what
will you be having today? Ooh, I'll have the organic
Portobello sandwich... with a side of vegan soy
and tofu fries, please. Joe? Uh, I'll have the same.
Does it come with bacon? Meat is death. Hold the bacon. Everything all right, Joe? Yup, yup, doing good. Just keeping an eye out
for more figs. Well, anyway, so we were
decorating our tree, when-- Oh, it's on! Let's do this! What are you talking about? Oh, it's on...
the animal shelter. It's on, it's open. Let's go to the animal shelter. Oh, that is so incredible, yes,
let's go there right now. Look, I'll cancel our order
and we can go to my parent''
for dinner later. This is getting out of control.
I said stay away! Don't you just love the smell
of the animal shelter? Oh, yeah. Love that smell
of... wet dog? ( RETCHING ) If I had it my way, humans would
be locked up and the animals
would be free. So you're a trouble maker. What? No! I'm not
a trouble maker. ( DOG BARKS, GROWLS ) ( CHOKING ) Ooh! Hold that pose! Done! You had that pair of scissors
there the entire time? A good artist
is always prepared. It made for a great sketch. What the-- How do you-- it's amazing! What's amazing is that
you didn't get bit. ( GROWLING ) Speaking of biting, my parents
are having dinner at 5:00,
if you're still hungry. Uh, meeting the parents already. I actually think my mom
will really like you. ( GASPS ) My dad, on the other hand,
he's a bit harder to get
to know. Hold that thought. Don't you dare! Joe, what? What is it? ( GROWLING ) No, no, no, no!
No! agh! Aw, Joe, that is so sweet. I mean, you can't stand to see
that little puppy in here. You're saving him
from these oppressors! [MICHELLE] That was your plan
the entire time. Uh... absolutely! Eh-- Hey, Joe, are you sure
you're cool with this? I know it's a bit early to be
meeting my parents and all and-- Yeah, I'm looking forward
to it. Why? Well, you just seem
a bit... distant. Uh, I'm just picturing how
wonderful your parents must be
if they raised a girl like you. Let's just head inside, shall
we? Namaste. Thank you,
I think I shall stay. My word, he's so precious. Gail, don't scare the boy before
I've had a chance to meet him. Help me with the tofu,
it's getting unwieldy! You did fantastic
with this one, Michelle. Not like that last boy you
brought over, with the
piercings... and that loud carbon-emitting
death trap he was driving. Gail! Coming! I had to come from somewhere. You didn't want
to warn me first? ( DOG GROWLS ) All hail King Pixie! ( PIXIES CHEERING ) For too long, we have been
pushed to the edges
of this world. We live in the ruins
of the temple that was nature. The humans continue
to force us back... with their growing gluttony
of technology and garbage. But no more, my pixie warriors! No more!
Today, we make a stand! Today we strike back at the very
core of indecency and woe... that has beset our tribes
for generations. Today we will strike down the
auto mechanic known as Joe. For the glory of Pixies! He's incredible! I wish my mom was here
to see this. Max, she's right over there. Hey, Max! Oh... hi, Mom! Are you ready for war, Sam?
Uh... Sam? I have a bad feeling about this. And this is the kitchen,
the stone is from Argentina... and most of the decor
hails from Africa. Having trouble keeping up
with Mom? Who me? I'm good. Pretty sure the speed walking
wore holes in my shoes, though. Oh, oh, a Canadian. Hey, Joe, what do you call
a cow with no legs? Oh, Dad, please don't. What? Ground beef!
Because the cow is on the-- ( CLEARS THROAT ) I think the boy gets it, dear. Okay, okay, it also wouldn't
hurt to have real beef
every once in a while. That's enough, Captain Cannibal. Do I look like someone
who'd eat people? I'd never eat a person... unless you consider
the talking cow a person. In which case, I might just be
persuaded to give it a try. I think they like you. As long as your dad doesn't
toss me on the grill. ( GIGGLES ) Just grab a tray. Cheap thing won't light. So what's your deal, Joe? Oh, I'm an auto mechanic.
I actually just got a promotion. That's great! You hear that, Gail?
This hard-working boy
just got a promotion. This is moving fast,
isn't it? Oh, so what? I met your father
on a Tuesday... and a week later,
we were married in Vegas. Well, I'm definitely
not ready for marriage. He's cute, funny, seems like
he's got things together... and it would be nice
to have grandkids around. Okay, slow down, Mom! I just can't get this
lighter going! Here, let me try.
Hm... Hmm. That's some bad luck, son. Bad luck? Oh, no! Okay, girls! Joe's got
the hot stones going. What happened to your eyebrows? Uh, pyrotechnic mishap. How in the world did a grease
monkey like you become
such a charmer? Just lucky, I guess. Huh. Joe, not sure if you've
ever done hot stones before... but dinner takes a while. What we do to keep things
moving is play a game. How about boys versus girls? Mom! Your call, Joe, or are you
afraid of getting crushed
by the girls? Uh, sure, yeah, I'm in. For William! <i> ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Get over-- Is the game Charades? I don't think so. Then what is he doing? He-- help. Purna Shalabhasana! What? Full locust. Mom, what are you talking about?
Is he having a seizure? No, I think he's stretching.
Looks like Ashtanga yoga. There's the Shashankasana Pose.
Nice form, Joe. Garudasana. Ardha-Kurmasana. Ardha Matsyendrasana. Dandayamana Biebhakta
Paschimottanasana! Yeah, I don't know that one. J-- Joe, Joe-- Ow... oh, no!
My body shouldn't do this. He is a very fit, young man. And Shivassana to end,
what a display! It's also known
as the dead body pose. A little pre-meal stretch
is good for everyone. Come on, Henry.
Come on, Michelle. Gather round. Our troops are exhausted, sir. They need rest
and cannot continue. They liked what he did?
They think he's fit? We need him ruined! Do something, Sam. You must be
the hand of vengeance. Fine. All right, team, let's eat! This is not
one of my better days. Well done, my son. ( GROANS ) Let's go home. What makes you think
this is over? It's over for me. What I just did...
wasn't right. I am so sorry, Mom. Don't worry about it. Everyone's okay
and that's what matters. Besides I haven't seen an
explosion like that... since I smuggled
antiquities out of Egypt. Yeah. Love you, Mom. Well, saves me some money
on a hair cut, at least. No hard feelings, Joe.
Hope your luck changes. Look, can I apologize for-- Not right now, just drive. Hey, hey, Michelle, wait up! Look, I would really appreciate
it if you just left. Oh, man,
this is gonna be great. Michelle. Joe, I'm working right now and
do not have the temperament. Please, let me explain. Explain what? That you ruined my parents'
house with some outlandish
yoga-infused craziness? No, I-- Look, I have seen klutzy before and I thought
that was adorable... but today's events,
that was too far. What is wrong with you? If I tell you, you promise
not to think I'm crazy? Go ahead, I'm listening. Pixies. Pixies? Pixies... it's this whole
curse thing. It started a while ago. You think that's funny? What? Hah! You think you can win me
over by blaming Pixies
for your problems? No, it's the truth,
absolute truth! Joe, just go home... before you break something
I won't forgive you for. There! Behind you! Stop! I don't have the
patience for this any more. I got it! Please leave, Joe. I-- I'm-- I'm so sorry. <i> ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )</i> What next? Sam? We go home. This is over. Huh? You're not thinking big enough,
Sammy boy. <i> ( MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Joe? You okay? Joe! About time... gimme a hand. Perfect! Oh, no. Ugh... Oh, this is the best day
of my life. <i> ( MUSIC CHANGES )</i> Dad, this is really
going too far. All is fair in war and love. Dad-- Son... well-placed tree sap
can work wonders. Dad, look at him. All I see is a big load
of human scum. Hello? Joe, are you okay? How could you possibly think
this is right, Dad? Right or wrong,
we did what must be done. Pixies, our war is over! And history shall declare
us victorious. ( MOANS ) ( WHINES ) <i> ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )</i> I need a status update. Sir, it looks like this
is gonna take a lot longer
than we expected. How long are we talking? Well, if you factor in-- I said how long! A few dozen years. What are our options? We could send half of our Pixies
to join another colony. Send scouts to check for room
in allied villages. Start dividing us up
into refugee camps. Yes, sir, will do. So much for our kingdom. What are we gonna do? I have an idea. Oh, wow, you've really
let this place go... and yourself. Have you not moved at all? We're gonna need
to get you in the shower. Why, so you can trip me again?
Set my room on fire? Continue to ruin my life? No, no, I never-- Look, I didn't want to do it. This was all because
of my brother,
and he would have hated this. He always used to tell me
to treat people how you want
to be treated. Do onto others. Huh? We humans have a saying,
"Do onto others as you
want done onto you." That sounds like my brother. My mom used to say it.
It's why I gave up. I deserved your punishment. I think we deserved the same,
after ruining your life
for so long. So now what? Now we're gonna stop this
horrible cycle... and we're gonna do
something good... together. I like the idea, but how? First, you're gonna
have a shower... and next, I'm gonna
burn that chair. Good call. It does feel good
to build something. Pixies are not great builders. Magnificent tricksters,
fantastic ruiners... great smashers, but after
we break something, we never
have to put it back together. We really suck
at building things. Really? Birds build nests out of
sticks in like a day. Birds eat us. Touché. Let's keep the chatter down. No one else can see me and
people are starting to stare. Are you invisible? No, we're wings and blood,
just like you, Joe. Don't over think it, big guy. Hey, believe me, most things
in life, I don't over think. This time, though, I have
put some thought into this. You're Samuel's friend Twitch,
aren't you? This is where I get my medal
for brilliant combat strategy. Have you seen my son,
Samuel? What? No medal? I, um... saw him. Well, do you know
where he is now? I think so. Well, I'd like to, er-- um--
apologize for my behavior. He may have been a little wiser
than I gave him credit for. We'll find him, sir! Come on, Twitch. Since when have you been
the leading type? Hurry up, Chunky. Listen, just because I might
not be what you call
a small pixie... doesn't mean you can
pick on me. I can't look like the Pixies
in those magazines. I'm sorry, Max. ( LAUGHING ) He's torturing Sammy. ( LAUGHING CONTINUES ) It sounds like laughter to me. Of course, it sounds
like laughter! It's diabolical laughter! Let him go, you mad man!
Let him go! Let's go tell the king. <i> ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )</i> Oh, great majesty,
lord of all we survey... he who is higher
than the holiest of-- Okay, okay, just get to it. Your son, our friend, the prince
Samuel, is being tortured by
that big-headed human. What? Is this true? It is true,
his head is massive. He's pulling Sam apart,
wing by wing! You two, enough already,
round up the troops. We have one last battle
to fight. Ah, what's with all the fuss? Samuel! My boy! You're alive! Did that-- that human hurt you? I've been working with Joe. He wants to help us and-- Help us?
But he hates us... just as we hate him. Joe doesn't hate us, he was
angry, but we ruined his life. You were angry
because William was hurt. Both of us are allowed
to be angry, but what we
did when we were angry... it was wrong, Dad,
we were both wrong. You have an entire kingdom
to lead and you're going
to lose them. Let it go, Dad.
Let's stop the fighting. Forgive me, sir, you've been
so worried over William... you forgot about Sam. He's a great son,
and an amazing leader. Huh. I can help lead our people
in a new direction... but I need you to trust me. Look at you... Samuel,
oh, oh-- I am sorry, my son.
I'm sorry. Follow me, Dad. I have a surprise to show you. I have a surprise for everyone! Everyone, this is Joe. PIXIES
Hi, Joe! Hi. I-- I'm really sorry about
what I did to your village. I lost my temper. What I did was wrong and
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. And William, I wish
I could take it all back. Sam told me something that
William used to tell him... something my own family
once said. Do onto others as you'd
have done onto you. I hope what I'm about to show
you repays just some
of the damage I've caused you. Welcome to your new home. Each house has plumbing
and electricity. Sammy mentioned that sometimes
the elements can be harsh
out there... and this thing is storm-proof. I can attach it easily to the
rest, assuming you want it... and we can both forgive
each other. Joe, um, we forgive you,
and we are also sorry. I know this is what William
would have wanted. It is, Dad. William! My son! You're okay! Ooh, careful, guys, yeah,
still not quite healed yet. William, I'm so sorry! It was never my intention-- I'm really glad you're okay. Pixies may be small,
but we're feisty. So, I've learned. Well, Joe, I've been wrong
all along. It seems we can co-exist...
and peacefully. Way to go, Dad! Dad, William, with everything
Joe's done for us... maybe there's something
we can do for him. Mrs. Mayor, you look
absolutely stunning. Just stunning! Deanna, you must give me
a call sometime next week. We need to talk TV interviews
for Michelle. You have my card? Get it off
the desk inside! Ciao! ( INDISTINCT CHATTER ) How's my brilliant artist doing,
on her big night? Terrible. Michelle, honey, I know
you've had setbacks... but we couldn't push this
opening off any longer. Use the ones you've repaired
and let's hit it! Barbara, they look terrible. I can't represent myself
like this. Michelle, my dear, you're
established, respected,
published and never rejected. In the art world, that means
your mistakes are art. And everyone will love you
for it. Just say it's part
of the exhibit. You can say it represents
the broken world we live in. Are you sure?
I-- oh, I don't know. I've been doing this
for a long time, honey. Now you've got 300 people
who don't give a rat
about the truth. They just want to see some art. [BARBARA] Ladies and gentlemen,
attention, please! Oh... Now, without any further
adieu... let me introduce the lady of the
evening, Miss Michelle Myers. ( AUDIENCE APPLAUDING ) Oh, thank you. Oh-- oh my, thank you. That is just so nice,
thank you so much. Well, firstly, I wanted to start
by thanking all of you... as my manager Barbara
just did... for your understanding
in regards to this
ever-changing opening day. This project has been
a long time coming... and just as I thought I'd
reached the end of this long
journey... fate or circumstance caused some
havoc in my personal life
that effected my work here. Um, I am missing some of the
little people for-- ( CLEARS THROAT ) Excuse me. Uh, hi, hello,
sorry to interrupt. Excuse me. Joe-- Special delivery for a Michelle.
Where should I put it? Joe, if you so much as-- Trust me. Um, ladies and gentlemen,
it appears that I do have
another guest for my carnival. Looks like he arrived on-time,
after all. Trust me, please. Okay, you're all set. <i> ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )</i> This is unbelievable!
This is going to go viral! No, better, this is going
to go antibiotic! I feel healthier
just watching it. Wow. And the delivery guy
was a great touch. So avent garde,
what showmanship! Oh, thank you. They look so real! You must have spent a fortune
on these little robots! This is-- I can't believe it. I'm not looking for an apology,
I wouldn't have believed me,
either. I just didn't want you to think
I was making fun of you. I'll never do that. And I couldn't show you they're
real, because-- Because we don't exist. This is a one-time favor
we owed Joe, okay? Wh-- yeah, I understand. It's a really long story. Are you still mad at me? Look at that.
He got the girl, after all. She is pretty cute... for a creature without wings. I don't see you with a girl. I don't see you with one,
either. Yeah, well, I've got you
to keep me company, right? Always. <i> ( SOFT MUSIC FADES UP )</i> <i> ( MUSIC CHANGES )</i> ( SIGHS )
