0:13:56 > 0:13:59Hmm...

0:14:02 > 0:14:06- Aaah! - ALL: Ha, ha, ha!

0:14:06 > 0:14:08I suppose you think this is funny.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12Don't be mad, Walter, your little plant people look much better now.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Their haircuts were boring!

0:14:14 > 0:14:17You're jealous cos the cress you've grown doesn't look

0:14:17 > 0:14:19anywhere near this good.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22What? Why would we be growing cress?

0:14:22 > 0:14:28Well, what did you do with those seeds Creecher gave you last week?

0:14:28 > 0:14:29It's a lovely day...

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Ah! Officer under attack!

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Oh, dear!

0:14:33 > 0:14:37Well, as this cress-growing assignment is homework due

0:14:37 > 0:14:40tomorrow, you menaces can all expect detention.

0:14:40 > 0:14:44Nah, we eat detention like he eats pies.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Sometimes I eat pies in detention.

0:14:46 > 0:14:51Oh. So detention this weekend won't bother you then?

0:14:51 > 0:14:52ALL: Nah.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55The weekend of the Beanotown Comic Convention

0:14:55 > 0:14:58with a once-in-a-lifetime appearance by the creators of

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Vampire Chicken Squad?

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Bye-bye.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05ALL: Huh?

0:15:06 > 0:15:07Huh?

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Dennis, what are we going to do?

0:15:09 > 0:15:13Vampire Chicken Squad is my favourite comic!

0:15:13 > 0:15:16I mean, chickens who are vampires!

0:15:16 > 0:15:20And they have a squad! I mean, it is the best idea ever!

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Pa was going to get all his issues autographed.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26We can't miss this convention!

0:15:26 > 0:15:28We have to talk to somebody who knows about plants...

0:15:28 > 0:15:30And fast!

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Who's Daddy's little darling then?

0:15:33 > 0:15:35So, cress you say?

0:15:35 > 0:15:38I do have cress seeds, of course,

0:15:38 > 0:15:41but I usually prefer my flora

0:15:41 > 0:15:45a little more exotic, like this Venus flytrap here.

0:15:48 > 0:15:49Oh, gnash!

0:15:49 > 0:15:52How about I give you seeds for both?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55The principles are the same - to maximise growth,

0:15:55 > 0:15:57you need a hothouse, like this.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Also, I recommend talking to your plants.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03The little beauties respond favourably to a good chat.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05ALL: Huh?

0:16:05 > 0:16:09Last but not least, you need some fully organic plant food.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Thanks to my secret formula,

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Gwendolyn here reached this height in only two years.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16ALL: Two years?!

0:16:16 > 0:16:19We need to make the cress grow much, much faster.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Time to rev up the Colonel's formula

0:16:21 > 0:16:25with some extra-extreme growth spurt ingredients.

0:16:25 > 0:16:26Self-raising flour.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Jumping beans.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Raspberry Rocket.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Coffee.- Ow!

0:16:32 > 0:16:35- What's ow? - This pie is too hot to eat.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40And, erm...more Raspberry Rocket.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43If this concoction isn't rocket fuel for plant growth,

0:16:43 > 0:16:44I don't know what is.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Right, seeds.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Where are the seeds?- Ah!

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Uh-oh, Dennis!

0:16:51 > 0:16:54The heat from the pie has fused the cress seeds

0:16:54 > 0:16:56and the Venus flytrap seeds together.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Weird. Oh, well, let's plant them anyway.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01What could possibly go wrong?

0:17:06 > 0:17:11Oh, no. I think this pie is past its best-before date.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15Ha-ha! If comics have taught us anything, and comics have taught us

0:17:15 > 0:17:18most things, a dodgy pie is the perfect ingredient for

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Menaced-up super science.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27To the hothouse!

0:17:27 > 0:17:28Ah!

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Whoa!

0:17:34 > 0:17:38- Ah!- Never mind!

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Oopsy!

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Do you think that will work, Dennis?

0:17:45 > 0:17:50It has to, Curly. We can't miss that comic convention.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Is our homework done? - Fingers and green thumbs crossed.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56We need this weekend to be detention-free.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Don't forget your promise to mow the lawn tomorrow, Dennis.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Oh, but tomorrow is the Beanotown Comic Convention.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Which can wait until you've mown the lawn.

0:18:04 > 0:18:05Oh!

0:18:05 > 0:18:06Don't worry, Dennis.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10Hey, Pie-Face and I can help you mow it after school.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Ah, is it too late to take that back?

0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Was the grass this tall yesterday? - I don't know,

0:18:17 > 0:18:21I was too busy spilling our super plant food everywhere to notice.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24Ha-ha, results!

0:18:28 > 0:18:30I have to say,

0:18:30 > 0:18:35your plants' growth has surpassed all expectations.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Clearly, they've cheated, Miss.

0:18:37 > 0:18:41Yesterday they said they didn't even have seeds.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44I don't remember saying that. Do you?

0:18:44 > 0:18:45BOTH: No.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Oh, it doesn't even look like proper cress!

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Those leaves have teeth!

0:18:50 > 0:18:53That must be the Venus flytrap genes!

0:18:53 > 0:18:56This is what perfect cress looks like.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Who has ever seen cress that big?

0:18:58 > 0:19:00Don't you know anything, Walter?

0:19:00 > 0:19:03This is what big cress looks like.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06When they are grown-up, cress have actual teeth.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Oh, fascinating!

0:19:08 > 0:19:12See, even a teacher can learn something new at school.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Now don't be jealous, Walter,

0:19:14 > 0:19:18I'm giving all three of these boys the top mark.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21- But...- Sorry, Walter.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24I know you haven't done this homework, Menace!

0:19:24 > 0:19:28And the moment I can prove it, that top mark will be mine

0:19:28 > 0:19:33and you will all be on comic-convention-missing detention.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Walter can't prove a thing!

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Yes! We dodged detention the one weekend

0:19:38 > 0:19:40when dodging detention matters.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Ah! Dennis!

0:19:43 > 0:19:46The unusually large and bitey cress,

0:19:46 > 0:19:49it's got larger and bitier!

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Aaah!

0:19:51 > 0:19:54There may still be a bit more dodging to do.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57ALL: Aaaaah!

0:19:59 > 0:20:01I told you it is not cress!

0:20:01 > 0:20:03You don't see cress this big!

0:20:03 > 0:20:05And eating things!

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Dennis!

0:20:07 > 0:20:11Uh... Walter is absolutely right, you don't see cress this big

0:20:11 > 0:20:12and eating things,

0:20:12 > 0:20:14and that's because...

0:20:14 > 0:20:18this is how fully grown cress carries on.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Kids normally grow cress for a week and then eat it.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24What most kids don't know is they have to eat it or it will

0:20:24 > 0:20:26grow up and eat them.

0:20:26 > 0:20:31Sorry, Miss, our cress got this big because we were so eager to do

0:20:31 > 0:20:34the homework, we planted it too soon.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38- Well, that makes perfect sense. - What? No, it doesn't!

0:20:38 > 0:20:43As you can see, the preferred food of the fully grown cress is pies.

0:20:43 > 0:20:47Hey! It must be my pie in the plant food.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50We created a Venus pie-trap.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Miss Creecher, as fully grown cress experts,

0:20:53 > 0:20:57we can contain the situation, but we will need to leave school early.

0:20:57 > 0:20:58Fine, whatever you need.

0:20:58 > 0:21:02Emergency, Brenda! We need every pie you can muster.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04What then, Dennis?

0:21:04 > 0:21:07The Colonel said we should talk to our plants, so let's talk.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Hey, plants, pies!

0:21:23 > 0:21:27I hope you've got a plan, Dennis. We're running out of pies!

0:21:27 > 0:21:30What? I only had one or two.

0:21:30 > 0:21:34Don't worry, Curly, genius always has a plan.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39They'll be happy here, disposing of pies past their sell-by date.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42Dad's best shop assistants ever.

0:21:42 > 0:21:43Nice one, Dennis.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45OK, mutant cress dealt with,

0:21:45 > 0:21:48all we have to do now is deal with that lawn.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52Gang, wrestle up a mowing device and meet me at my place.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Where did you get a goat? - From the goat convention.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00- There is a goat convention? - Yeah, at the convention centre.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03Today is the last day, tomorrow is the comic convention.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Ah, which we are not going to miss.

0:22:05 > 0:22:06Let's get mowing!

0:22:08 > 0:22:12Ah. Well, it's a good job we also have Gnasher power.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Grrrr!

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Gnash, gnash, gnash, gnash...!

0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Ha, ha, ha! - ALL: Huh?

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Gnash, gnash, gnash...!

0:22:45 > 0:22:48It's growing faster than we can mow it!

0:22:48 > 0:22:52All this mowing is disturbing my study. Why is it taking so long?

0:22:52 > 0:22:56- We are being thorough. - Thorough? With a chore?

0:22:56 > 0:23:00Now why does that strike me as suspicious?

0:23:00 > 0:23:04Nothing suspicious going on here, Walter,

0:23:04 > 0:23:05just lawn mowing.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12I've got my eye on you, menaces.

0:23:16 > 0:23:17Phew!

0:23:17 > 0:23:20If Walter realises the grass is growing out of control,

0:23:20 > 0:23:23he'll tell Creecher we didn't do the cress homework properly.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26At this rate, we'll be mowing the lawn all weekend!

0:23:26 > 0:23:30We'll never get to the comic convention.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34Pie-Face, where there is a convention, there is a way.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36- So the goat convention is finished then?- Uh-huh.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40To make way for the comic convention, which we will be at.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43How do we get rid of all these goats?

0:23:43 > 0:23:47One problem at a time, Pie-Face, one problem at a time.
