- Hmm.

Mmm! [smacks lips]

- Hey, you've sampled
every flavor we have.

Will you please just pick one?

- Mm-mmm! Not so fast.

I would now like to sample
combinations of flavors,

and I would like you
to use my spoon!



[whistle blows]

- Security.

We have a sample mooch
at the counter.

- [grunts]

[growls]

- Huh? Ooh, ooh!

[groans]

[whimpers]

- Hmm. Hmm.

- Wow.

I can't believe
Goofy Goobers employees

get to eat all the ice cream
they want on this job.

- Hmm?

- Yeah, but the rule is only
on the first break.



And for lunch,

and on the second break,

and for dinner.

- Wow! Ice cream all day!

[garbling]

- Ice cream all day. All day.

All day. All day.

- Ice cream all day?

[both yell]

I'm getting a job
at Goofy Goober!

- Goofy Goobers and you.

- Hello, and welcome!

As a new Goofy Goober employee,

we'd like you to know
that we appreciate you.

The story of our ice cream
begins with our founder,

Reginald Goober.

Who for some unexplained
reason was nicknamed Goofy.

In 1842, he headed West
in a covered ice cream wagon.

In the days before cones
and refrigeration,

he served his warm ice cream
on rocks and sticks.

From those humble beginnings,

Goofy Goober has grown into
a multibillion dollar business

that you, our newest employee,

now have the privilege
to work for.

We only ask that you,
one, practice good hygiene,

two, maintain good work habits,

and three,
believe in extraterrestrials.

[space music]

- Peace, hugs, and ice cream!

- Ha-ha! The end.

- [snoring]

- Hello, Goofy newbie.

- [yells, pants]

Can I have ice cream now?

- Not until your first break.
[chuckles]

I'm your manager,

and I want you to know
that I appreciate you.

Now let's get you started.
- [hums]

- You will be washing
dishes today.

What do you think of that?

- Oh, I had a thought once.

[radio transmitter warbles]

- [chuckles]

Ooh, you sure put
the Goofy in Goober!

I'll check on you
in a few minutes.

- Huh?

[sniffs]

Ooh!

- [chuckles, gasps]

[chuckles]

[bottle squeaks]

Exceptional!

Show me how you cleaned
all these dishes so fast.

- Okay!

[moans]

- Never tell anyone
you did that.

- Is it time for my first break?

- Not yet.

- Aww!

- This should be easy.
[clears throat]

Just unload the boxes
of ice cream from the truck,

and stack them in the freezer.

Okay, repeat it back to me.

- [shakily] When the bell rings,

I peel a banana
and run like the devil.

- Uh. Eh, close enough.

Ooh, good, good!

The truck is empty.

[yelps] That's hot!

[whimpers]

[crowd yelling]

- Nothing's biting today.

- Newbie, why would you turn
the heat on in the freezer?

- Oh, it was freezing in there,

and the fire I built
wasn't doing it.

- What?

Now, this should
be easy for you.

You just walk around
as Goofy the Goober

and wave to the kids.

But a warning...

Sometimes the kids
get a little over-affectionate.

- [babbling]

- [whimpering]
- [babbling]

I love you, Goofy Goober!

- [laughs] So cute.

Good luck!

- I want you to be my daddy!

- [grunting]
I want to crack this nut!

[both grunting]

[all screaming]

- Sorry.
- [laughs]

Yay!

[laughter and chatter]

- Oh. Unattended ice cream.

Mustn't let it go to waste.

[vacuum whirring]

[laughs]

- [clears throat]

Hmph.

[grunts]

I think you better
go home and clean up.

- But I haven't had
my first ice cream break!

- I'll give you
another chance tomorrow.

If it doesn't work out,
I'm afraid you're fired...

[clears throat]
in a most appreciative way.

[flute playing]

- Oh, sorry, mister.
I thought this was my rock.

- [laughs]
Patrick, this is your rock.

I was waiting for you.
How was your first day at work?

- Oh, I can't do anything right.

I'll probably
get fired tomorrow.

- Oh, you poor little sea star.

- Tell you what, buddy...
Tomorrow, I'll come

with you to work and help out.

- Oh, thanks, kind stranger!

Okay, tell me
for the gajillionth time,

how is this gonna work?

- I'll show you. [both grunting]

If you put your arms behind you,

I can be your hands.

- Ooh, so when
I scoop ice cream...

- I'll do the scoopin'.
- And when I give change...

- I'll do the countin'.
- And when my butt itches...

- Yeah, I'm not doing that.

- Okay, ready for your second,
and last chance?

[grunts inquisitively]

[chuckles]
Let me show you how to make...

- Ice cream sandwiches?

I think I got this.

- Ooh.

- Time for my first break?
- Oh, no, no, no.

Not yet, not yet. [chuckles]

But I think you're ready
for the big time.

- All right, kid.
Relax, don't choke,

and try to have fun.

- Easy, queasy, lemon sneezy.

- [rhythmic vocalizing]

Ta-da!

- Work is hard work. [snores]

- [humming]

[all cheering]

[laughing]

Hello, folks! I'm Edible Ed!

Start with my head!
[laughter and cheers]

[bicycle horn honking]

- [laughs] Great job, newbie.

Now you can take
your first break.

- My break?
I can eat ice cream now?

- All you can handle.

- [whimpering excitedly]

[both yelling]

- Thanks for your help, buddy.

Now, let's dig in.

- Oh, I'd love to.
[watch beeping]

But if I don't hurry,
I'll be late for my job.

Sure you can handle
that ice cream all...

- [slurping]
- By yourself?

- [excited grumbling]

- Silly question.

- [excited grumbling]

[burps]

- Good luck, my employed pal.

[cuckoo clock tones]

- Oh! Only two more minutes
for my break!

And two more minutes
for ice cream!

Chug, chug, chug, chug!

Brain freeze!
