0:00:03 > 0:00:05# That isn't very wise
0:00:06 > 0:00:08# I love you guys! #
0:00:11 > 0:00:15- Waaaaaaah!- Aaaaaaah!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17# This is getting crazier
0:00:17 > 0:00:22# Feels like we're endangered

0:00:30 > 0:00:34Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep...
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Oh, man. This is going to be so much fun!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Gull, you're really excited about the Antique Nut Show, aren't ya?
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Oh, very much so. I can't wait to see all of those exotic nuts.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50Merl says it's going to be the event of the nut season!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Oh. How come you aren't going to come, Pickle?
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Yeah, well, the Nut Show sounds a little too boring for me, Gull.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And with Merl out of the house, I'll finally be able
0:00:58 > 0:01:03to build my super-duper, fantastic surfboard lava slide!
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- HE GASPS - Maybe me and Merl should stay here
0:01:05 > 0:01:08and help you with your surfboard lava...
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Shh! Gull! It's a secret!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Come on, Merl. Your nuts are loaded and ready for the...
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Merl? Merrrrrl?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Merl, we're going to miss the March of the Macadamia!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26GROANING
0:01:27 > 0:01:31D-did th-that sound like a z-zombie to you?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35LOUD WAILING
0:01:37 > 0:01:39SHE GASPS
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Uggghh...- Zombie!
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Merl! You look sick!
0:01:50 > 0:01:55There is nothing that will keep Merl from going to the Nut Sh... Aaaah!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Mm... I think Merl's too sick to leave.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Nah, you're fine, aren't you, Merl?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Maybe Merl could take a LITTLE rest.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Ugggghh.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07SHE SIGHS
0:02:07 > 0:02:09All right, but let's try and do this quickly.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17What are you doing?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Just trying to figure some way to get you out of the stump fast.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I mean, just making sure you're OK.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Is it gas? I bet it's gas.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Boop, boop, boop.- Stop that! Ohhh!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- STOMACH RUMBLES - It is not the gas.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Yep, got to be gas. - HE GROANS
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Well, if I have my squirrel physiology correct,
0:02:37 > 0:02:42and I think I do, this looks to me like a case of squirrel plague.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Squirrel plague!
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- What's squirrel plague?- Ha-ha-ha!
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- HE COUGHS - Don't be silly, Pickle.
0:02:51 > 0:02:57The squirrel plague, she has been eliminated. And if Merl had it...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- HE SPLUTTERS - ..the tail, she'd be covered
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- in the yellow spots.- Uh, Merl?- Hmm?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- HE GASPS - No, no, no! This cannot be.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Merl cannot have the squirrel plague!
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- HE SCREAMS - Yeah, Merl needs a doctor.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13SHE GASPS
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Well, we really won't know for sure until we do a proper examination.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20STOMACH RUMBLES
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Do it.- Nurse Gull.- Yes, Doctor?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Prepare the patient for examination. - Yes, Doctor.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I'm an ambulance. Siren, siren, siren...
0:03:30 > 0:03:34LOUD CRASHES MERL GROANS AND SCREAMS
0:03:34 > 0:03:38..siren, siren, siren...
0:03:40 > 0:03:43The patient is preparated, Doctor.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Aah.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Aaah!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Very interesting.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- I... - HE GASPS
0:03:55 > 0:03:57SHE GASPS We need to rehydrate him!
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Yes, Doctor.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Is that a garden hose?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Aaah! - HE GASPS FOR AIR
0:04:15 > 0:04:17STOMACH GURGLES
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Aaa-aaa.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24- Well, the results are in and you are clear to go to the Nut Show.- Yay!
0:04:24 > 0:04:29- Merl is OK?- Totally. Other than a slight case of the moist mouth.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Moist mouth!- Moist mouth?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- There goes the lava slide. - What is moist mouth?
0:04:36 > 0:04:41- I knew a squirrel who had the moist mouth once.- Yes? And?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- What happened to him?- Like I said...
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I used to know him!
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Aaaaaaaaah!- Aaaaah!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Bluh, bluh, bluh...
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Oh...
0:04:57 > 0:05:02- This tongue towel tastes funny. - Gull! What are you doing?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Nothing.- Those paper towels are covered with... Aaaargh!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- STOMACH RUMBLES - ..the squirrel plague.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Mm. Is that what that taste is?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Mm... Very plague-alicious.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17That is it! It is up to Merl to keep everyone in this stump...
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- STOMACH RUMBLES - ..safe.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21What are you going to do, Merl?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- Merl is going into quarantine. - STOMACH GRUMBLES
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Aaah, aah.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Fight, Merl. You are strong.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34You can beat this plague.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- STOMACH RUMBLES - Ay-ay!
0:05:37 > 0:05:42Oh, Gull, I can't bear to watch this any more!
0:05:42 > 0:05:44It's just so sad and...a little boring.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Actually, more than a little boring. But mostly just so, so sad!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Quick, Gull! Tell me a happy story!
0:05:51 > 0:05:56Mm. Well, let's see. There's just so many happy stories to tell.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00You know, right up until the whole squirrel plague-y thing, that is.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Hmm... Well, maybe just pick one from your happy childhood, then.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Oh, that's easy!
0:06:07 > 0:06:11When I was growing up, all alone on my rotting heap of garbage
0:06:11 > 0:06:16with no parents to feed me or hug me, or love me...
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Oh, why would you tell me such a sad story?
0:06:21 > 0:06:26Well, hold on. I'm not done yet. There is still a happy ending.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29After that, I met you and Merl
0:06:29 > 0:06:32and we all moved in together into our new stump home.
0:06:33 > 0:06:40You're right. That is a happy ending. Ohhh...
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Aarrrrrghhhh!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- MERL GROANS - Happy.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I want him to be happy again!
0:07:04 > 0:07:09That is it! Those two have no respect for the dying...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11STOMACH GROANS
0:07:11 > 0:07:13The end...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15She is coming.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I'm just happy.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23PFFFFFRRRT!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Merl? GLASS BREAKS
0:07:28 > 0:07:32SOMBRE ORGAN MUSIC PLAYS
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Merl was the bestest friend what I ever had, even.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I think Merl put it best when he said,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44"Aaaah! Oh, oh! Waaaaaah!"
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- We must honour his memory... - ..with a 21 snot salute.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50KNOCK AT THE DOOR
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Hey! Beat it, pal! Can't you see we're mourning Merl?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55SHE GASPS Merl!
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Yes?- It's... Is it really, really you?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Of course it is me. The Merl.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- He's aliiive!- He's a ghost!
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Aaaaaaaah!- What?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- No, I am not the ghost. - Oh, so you're cured?- Eh...
0:08:12 > 0:08:17It turns out the squirrel plague was simply the...gassiness.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Once it was...relieved by the grandioso fartissimo,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25then the pain, she was...gone.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Aaaaah! So, it was gas. Ha-ha, I was right.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Uh, I was right?- But what about the yellow spots on your tail?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Oh, yes, the spots.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40These were just the mustard stains from Gull's hot dog.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Mm... Ghost hot dog.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Ghost hot dog? - HE SCREAMS
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Hey, Gull? Gull?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54GULL!
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Look! He's not a ghost. He's Merl.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Merl? Not dead?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03For realsies?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- BOTH:- Yeaaaaaaaah!- Enough!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Now look. It's been a very long and painful day for Merl
0:09:12 > 0:09:16and all I want to do is take my valuable prized nut collection
0:09:16 > 0:09:18and have it appraised by the experts at the Nut Show.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Yes! Finally! Off to the Nut Show!
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Where is my prized nut collection?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Yeah, where is Merl's prized nut collection?
0:09:28 > 0:09:33Yeah, so, the nearest I can figure is... Looks like the birds got them.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Merl...would have wanted this.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44HE BURPS
0:09:44 > 0:09:45- BOTH:- The birds?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Oh, yeah. Yup, yup, that's what we're figuring.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- So all my prized nuts are gone? - So all his prized nuts are gone?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- AND I missed the Nut Show? - AND he missed the Nut Show?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Well, look on the bright side, guys.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05We've got a whole year to collect more nuts for the next Nut Show!
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- HE WHIMPERS - No! My nuts!
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Merl's nuts!
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Nuts!
