Hamster & Gretel (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - Episode #1.12 - full transcript
Everyone, be calm.
I've got this.
No, I've got it.
Kraken punch!
Come on!
See, you've just got
to punch him really hard
right in the beak.
Ah! This is fun.
Oh... How do I
turn around?
Wow! The VR game you designed is very impressive, Mr.
Carter.
It only took a team
of 120 programmers and three robots.
Let's give Bailey's dad
a hand, kids.
(ALL CLAPPING)
Wow, would hate to
follow Roman.
And following Roman
is Gretel's dad,
Mr. Grant.
(STRAINING)
Hi, I'm Gretel's dad
and I manage an
apartment complex.
I collect the rents,
send invoices for reimbursements,
and I'm also superintendent.
Stuff breaks, I fix it.
Unless I can't,
then I hire someone who can.
Hence the invoices.
Uh, any questions?
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
Sorry, these guys
can't help it.
It's all in my talk.
Ooh, crickets!
They're my favorite arthropod.
You'll all be giving
a presentation after you
shadow your parents
at work tomorrow.
So, each of you will
have a chance
to share more details
about their exciting job.
Don't get me wrong.
I love Dad, but his job is so boring.
How am I going to give
a presentation on it?
Maybe something exciting
will happen.
Like a clogged toilet or
a raccoon in the vent.
Why are you so happy?
My class is doing
a beach cleanup.
But once we're done, we get
to enjoy the sand and surf.
Plus Hiromi will
maybe also be there.
So, I got to go. Okay. Bye.
Don't forget your
sunblock, amigo.
Okay, thanks. Bye.
Hey, kiddo.
(GASPS) It's bring your kid to work day.
I am so pumped.
We get to team up.
Air horn sound!
(GAS HISSING)
Huh? Oh, it's empty.
I'm going to teach you all there
is to know about running this place.
Consider yourself taken
to work... now.
(SLURPING)
So what are we going to do?
Trust me, sweetie,
something always comes up.
Nature of the beast.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Oh. (CHUCKLES)
Dave's Pizza.
Kidding, it's just Dave.
An emergency? On my way.
(CELL PHONE BEEPS)
Awesome. An emergency!
Yup. The refrigerator
in 4B is out.
(SLURPING)
What? The fridge
isn't going anywhere.
The aquarium fired me for
embezzling sea lion research funds.
But soon, my home-grown mutant eel
will take vengeance upon them all.
Who's the insane one now?
Clearly, I am.
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)
(DOORBELL RINGS)
Oh. Just a minute.
It's Dave, the building
manager, uh, for the fridge.
Excuse the mess.
I was just...
Um...
Living like a
friendless hermit.
No worries.
This is Gretel, my daughter.
She's shadowing
me today.
All right.
Well, the fridge is right over... What's that?
Oh, well, it's definitely
not a galvanized tank
for the monster eel
created specifically for revenge!
Oh, good.
Because that would be a violation of your rental agreement.
Also, no waterbeds.
You're in for a real treat, Gretel.
Mind if we play some tunes?
Of course not.
The louder, the better, in fact. (FUNK MUSIC PLAYING)
I'll be over here.
Oh, and if you hear
any blood-curdling roars or eel-related noises,
it's just the TV.
Okay, Gretel,
pay attention.
If you're not careful,
you could get hurt.
Ahh! I did that on
purpose to illustrate the point.
Let's see,
where was I... Oh, yes.
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)
(GRUNTING)
DAVE: There you go.
It's lighter than it looks.
Okay, kiddo.
I don't want to get you too excited,
but are you ready to learn
how a fridge works?
These coils back here
are filled with gas.
The compressor pumps hot gas
into the condenser and chills it
into liquid,
cooling the fridge.
So hot makes cold?
Right.
Hot makes cold.
You just need the right tool.
Here is yours.
GRETEL: A flashlight?
Yep.
You get to hold it while I inspect the compressor.
Fun, right?
(IMITATES LIGHTSABER)
But don't do that.
You actually have to hold it still.
Once we're done with
this little beach cleanup,
maybe we can just hang
out, you know, at the beach.
(CHUCKLES)
That sounds fun,
but I don't know if
we'll have time.
Oh, sure we will.
Okay, kids.
Our goal is to get all the trash from here to the horizon...
in both directions.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
You know, technically, you can
never actually get to the horizon.
(TOOLS CLATTERING)
Oh, no. Gretel,
I need your help.
Yes, please.
What do you got?
I need you to move that light
an inch to the left.
(GROANS)
Ah, great.
Just a few more hours of
that and this baby will purr.
Well, babies don't purr,
but baby cats do.
They're called kittens.
You know that.
Which reminds me...
Rise, my homemade abomination.
Rise and take revenge
on the municipal aquarium
that dared to fire
Dr. Eelgood.
(SNARLING)
Man, that TV is loud.
I didn't see
a TV in there.
We got to investigate.
Whoa, that's a big eel.
Hey, thanks.
I mean, Hamster and Gretel?
So, you came to stop me
from taking vengeance on the local aquarium?
Actually, we were just
investigating the noise.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, we had no idea about
any vengeance scheme.
But we do now.
And we're here to stop
you from taking vengeance on the...
What was it?
Local aquarium?
Yes. My creation was
made from the DNA
of the most powerful
eels in the world.
It is... the ideal eel.
Really? Can it talk?
No.
Fetch? Sit?
No.
Sit? It doesn't have legs.
Hmm. Doesn't seem
very ideal.
Get them!
(SNARLING)
Let's kick it down!
(READING)
(SNARLING)
(GRUNTS)
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY) Fools.
I told you, my eel is perfect.
Perfectly cooked.
Heat vision
won't work on him.
He's cold-blooded.
Uh-oh.
And so was that.
(GRETEL SCREAMS)
DAVE: Hon, can you
pass me the pliers?
Ah. These are
slip-joint.
I meant
the needle-nose.
Thanks.
And keep that light up. Your doing great.
Pick up the pace.
If we can get through
this cleanup fast,
I'll have enough time to hang
out on the beach with Hiromi
and...
and you and everybody, like that guy over there.
My guy.
I don't know you.
Right back at ya.

(GASPS)
(GRUNTING)
Yes! Finish them, my pet.
And while you do, I'll order
us a ride to the aquarium,
so we can destroy it!
Hello, taxi?
What? Hold on.
(SNARLING)
(TOILET FLUSHES)
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Hey, Gretel. What's up?
Kevin, we have a giant eel
emergency and I need your brain.
Okay. Did you try
tackling it?
Yep.
Heat vision?
It doesn't work.
It's cold-blooded.
Hmm. Well, fish are
very sensitive to climate.
If you lower the temperature,
that might stop it.
Wait. What did
Dad say earlier?
"Cat babies
are called kittens."
No, no. Before that.
"Hot makes cold.
You just need the right tool."
Of course. Hot makes cold.
Who are you talking to?
Floating Dad head. Bye.
(CELL PHONE BEEPS)
Floating Dad head?
"Don't forget your
sunblock, amigo."
Oh, right. I get it.
And I forgot
the sunblock.
My work here is done.
Great.
Keep it distracted.
Okay, let's see.
Hot makes cold.
So I got us an SUV,
but we'll need... My baby!
What have you done
to my perfect creation?
We've made the
perfect ice sculpture.
For you know,
an eel-themed party.
(GROANING)
Great work, Hamster.
What do we do
with the eel?
I'll take care of it.
Great. I'll put
the coils back.
(GRUNTING)
And that should do it.
Nice work, Dad.
Couldn't have done it
without you
and that world-class
flashlightery.
DAVE: Okay, mister.
Fridge is
back up and...
Between you and me,
I don't think this guy's
getting his deposit back.
(GROANING)
Nope. Definitely not.
What happened
to you?
Didn't listen to
floating Dad head.
Well, great work, everybody.
This beach
is clean.
All right.
Mini dance party in celebration of the beach cleanup.
(SHRIEKING) Ooh. Ooh.
Ahh! Ooh, pain.
Ooh... Pain.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Hello.
MAN: We've been trying to
reach you regarding your card...
Whoa! Oh. No, no, no.
(ICE SHATTERS)
Hmm. (GROANS)
You know what, Dad?
That was much more exciting
than I thought it would be.
Yeah, it's fun helping
people with their problems,
but I don't know about exciting.
I'm not a superhero.
But you are a hero super.
I see what you
did there. Dad joke.
You got my DNA,
Gretel beans.
I like it.
So where did you
take the eel?
Eel farm. Upstate.
Oh, that's nice.
