You... want us to stop?

No, I want you to guard this awesome tower

while we all go find more kids to add more stuff.

[♪ intriguing chiming ♪]

[knocking at door]

Oh, wow, that was incredible. So high.

Next!

[♪ intriguing percussive music playing ♪]

Well, this will stack okay,

but how's someone gonna stack something on top?

What are you thinking?

Get out.

Next!

Hmm. Pretty good weight, nooks and crannies.

What do you think, Trev?

Looks good.

Congrats. Now Barry's gonna do a quick nerves test.

Hey. Got a steady hand, Junior?

[♪ music stops ♪]

Sorry. I'm nervous.

Aw, don't be nervous.

- Just get out. - Go take a walk in the playground,

do some breathing exercises. Come back when you're ready.

- [Kiff] Next! - [flute whistles]

- [Barry] It's a high-schooler. - Danny Wibbon.

Be cool.

I got it from the sports field.

All right, this is what I'm talking about, people.

Look at this. It's soft, light. It's relatively square.

Born to stack.

Can Barry check your hands?

Rock solid.

I did it.

[crowd applauds]

[♪ upbeat music concludes ♪]

What's going on? Why did we stop?

Tower's done, Trev.

It's at the ceiling. We can't go any higher.

But we must.

- [grave music playing] - I am sorry, everyone. I was just informed

about this here tower,

and I'll have you know that, as your principal,

my feathers are ruffled!

Principal Secretary, we can explain.

[groans] Ruffled!

That nobody invited me to add my stapler to the tower.

- [♪ music concludes ♪] - That's because...

we were saving your stapler to be at the very top.

Oh.

But we've hit the ceiling. The tower can't go any higher.

Unless you can move the ceiling, somehow.

Hmm.

All set.

No maps for these territories.

[♪ inspiring string music playing ♪]

- How you doing, Trev? - How you holding up?

This is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Keep going.

We're gonna need more items, people.

But the school doesn't have any more.

You know, I hate to name-drop,

but the Fred Shepherd of Table Town News

happens to be a former student of mine.

- Oh, what are you thinking, PS? - Well,

- I have an old email of Fred's. - [keypad beeping]

Perhaps I should maybe...

Hi, is this Fred Shepherd from Table Town News?

Big story happening down here at school.

Okay, see you soon.

Oh, sorry. We... We know him, too.

[♪ dramatic jingle plays ♪]

Folks, there's something going on down here

at Table Town School, nothing short of miraculous.

Students have been stacking small items on top

of a fellow student's head, and let's take a look.

Now, I understand you two are the gatekeepers, if you will.

That's right, Fred.

Approving the items before they can be stacked?

Correct, Fred.

And, uh, how would, let's say, old Fred's, uh,

trademark microphone stack up?

Would that get approved? [chuckles]

- You think that would stack? - You have to unplug it.

No, I'm not ac... That was just a...

fun hypothetical... Now, let's meet the young fellow

at the bottom of the pile, so to speak.

How are you doing down there?

Hi, Fred. It's an honor to speak with you.

Well, my producer is telling me that your name is Trevor.

Yeah, that's right.

So, if you'll forgive me, one could call this

the Tower on Trevor, so to speak.

[all laughing]

[laughs]

Please don't make me laugh, Fred.

Fair enough, young fella. Now, I have a question, here,

that I think a lot of our viewers are wondering.

What happens when you have to pee?

I guess I hadn't thought of that.

Maybe I'll just...

never pee again.

Well, uh, I don't know if that's how that works, but,

uh, uh, let's talk about

some of the other items you have on top of you.

- I see a, uh... - [♪ suspenseful music playing ♪]

Kiff, I'm worried about Trevor.

Me too. That's why I turned you around.

[Barry] A person can't just not pee, right?

- Oh, just great stuff. - Yeah.

I want this to be the lead story at five.

Fred said this was gonna be the lead story at five.

Trevor, listen, we were thinking

maybe it's time to...

walk away from the tower.

A person can't just not pee.

I understand.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Unrelated, Miss Deer Teacher,

may I have a word with you in private?

Did you see that these two... [whispers indistinctly]

You're both fired from the tower team.

- [♪ dramatic sting] - [both] What?

Smart, Trevor. Real smart. Good luck with not peeing, man.

Barry, we gotta go back in there and talk sense to him.

Okay, but how do we get in?

- [♪ intriguing music playing ♪] - What if we don't get in,

- we get dow... - Just tell me what your plan is.

- Thanks for helping us, Sweeps. - I've always hated this skylight.

Sweepy just tiled this roof, and now we're poking holes in it? [growls]

Oh, Sweepy's mad. Sweepy's uncharacteristically mad.

Well, my producer is telling me that your name is Trevor.

[Trevor on TV] Yeah, that's right.

[Fred on TV] So, if you'll forgive me...

Who's that? Identify yourselves.

I'll scream.

No, wait. Hear us out.

Oh, it's you two.

Please, Trev, you know us.

We were there at the beginning.

I put my pencil right there.

- [♪ gentle music playing] - [Barry] And that's my eraser.

I'll hear you out.

All beautiful things in life are fleeting.

Anything that has true value is ephemeral.

Remember that summer night when we saw those fireworks

and we were sad that our phones had died?

Remember what you said?

[inhales, sighs]

I said it was a special once-in-a-lifetime moment.

[♪ music concludes ♪]

Okay. I'm ready to end the tower.

[both] Yay, we got through to him!

Well, I mean, all that ephemeral stuff, sure,

but also, I really do have to pee.

[both] Oh.

[mystical echoing voice] Thank you, Creator. You have given me life.

You're welcome.

Who... who are you?

I can't remember what I was before this moment,

but now I am alive and everything is beautiful.

I can feel the breeze on my face.

The same breeze that rustles the slender branches

of yonder willow tree.

I can smell pizza muffins baking in the cafeteria.

And although I have never tasted a pizza muffin,

I can tell by the aroma they are delicious,

but also a little doughy.

[camera clicks]

Thank you, Creator.

I am now going to explore this beautiful world

for as long as I can.

Goodbye.

Hey, thanks for coming to the mall with me, you two.

Psh, are you kidding?

We love getting to hang with you.

Yeah, you're the older sister in our lives.

Aww. Let's take a selfie.

[camera shutter clicks]

[♪ soft ambient music playing over speakers ♪]

What's this line for?

Hmm, what is this line for?

Hey, Rob Sadly, what's this line for?

We're waiting to purchase Jan Mice's highly-anticipated next book,

The Tightrope Walker's Wife.

The book goes on sale at midnight.

Whoa, Jan Mice wrote a new book and it comes out today?

Who knew?

Isn't she your favorite author?

Wow, you know me so well.

[both laugh]

Well, I... I guess we should just keep going

with our regular old mall walk.

No, shouldn't we wait in line and get you a copy of the book?

Yeah, w... we'll still be hanging out together.

Well... [mutters]

If that's what you two want, sure, count me in.

This is fun.

You want to play Twenty Questions?

Yeah, I love that game. I just have to pee. BRB.

Pee BRB! Right? Get it? [chuckles]

[laughs] Yeah, that's good.

Hi. Um, FYI... [chuckles] ...there's actually three of us.

My older sister will be right back.

Oh, sure.

[clock ticking]

[♪ soft ambient music continues playing ♪]

[clerk] Novelty balance pole? Tightrope taffy?

It stretches eight feet.

We're okay, thanks.

Stretch those cranky knees, folks. We got six more hours.

Terri's been gone a while, huh?

Maybe the restrooms are closed for maintenance

and she went to the one by the fountain.

Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.

The restrooms aren't closed.

And if you're wondering how I know that,

I have the bathroom maintenance updates app on my phone

and I haven't gotten any alerts.

[phone chimes]

- Any word? - No.

- Hey, guys. - [both scream]

- There you are. - We were worried.

I thought of something for Twenty Questions.

What am I?

Uh, are you a cucumber?

Yes! Wow, you're so good at this.

I'm gonna go pee. BRB again.

Hmm. Maybe she has a bladder problem.

Listen, I... I think your sister's using you two.

Sir, respectfully, there's no way.

Yeah, she has a private medical issue.

Hey, guys! It's your girl, terri_2_bowls.

Woot-woot!

Coming to you from The Mall of Table Town.

[imitates fanfare] And I have my assistants

waiting in line to get me a copy of the new Jan Mice boo...

b... b... b... book!

I'm so excited to read it. More soon.

[♪ suspenseful sting ♪]

Assistants? I thought we were friends.

We are being used. This is so embarrassing.

Uh, don't feel bad.

I just found out my older sister's at Flair's

trying on wigs.

She tricked me, too, so...

She did?

Mm, same. My big sisters are twins.

They're getting glamour shots,

and I have to get two copies of Tightropers.

- What is happening right now? - [♪ suspenseful sting ♪]

Linespeople, did any of you come to the mall today

thinking you were gonna hang with your older sib

only to discover you were tricked into waiting on this line for them?

[♪ tense string music playing ♪]

[gasps] Even Rob Sadly?

- Todd Sadly. Older brother. - [♪ pensive music plays ♪]

They've tricked us.

Every single one of them have tricked us.

They're smart, a... and they know we look up to them.

We literally look up to them.

How is it we fall for their older sibling tricks

time and time again?

Rob, what happened with you?

I came to the mall with my older brother, Todd.

We were standing in this line because he said we had to,

and then he noticed his shoes were untied.

He leaned down to tie them,

but after he did loop, swoop, and pull, his laces tore

and he had to go to the lace store to get new ones.

But just this morning I saw him lightly fraying his laces

with a pair of scissors. He had this all planned out.

My older sister told me she was allergic to standing in lines,

- and I believed her. - My older sibling told me

that at the end of this line, I'd find the meaning of life.

But now I see they just wanted me to hold the place for them,

and so my search for meaning continues.

We just wanted to do something nice for Terri, and then...

But hang on, aren't you famously an only child?

Yes, but look, I really don't have time

to discuss the dynamic with me and Barry's family.

O-M-G. Hey, guys. Ah! I'm such a goof.

I forgot to dry my hands, so I'll have to BRB again.

We saw your KlipKlop, Terri.

You didn't want to come to the mall with us.

[Barry] You tricked us into waiting.

You saw that?

Rob, our compatriot, showed us.

[Terri on phone] ...waiting in line to get me a copy

of the new Jan Mice boo... b... b... book!

I'm sorry.

I'll wait here by myself.

You two go have fun.

We still want to hang with you.

Yeah, if you're waiting too, we'll stay.

You will?

[Kiff] Mm.

I do have a shift at Darryl H. Pizza.

What? You were gonna leave us here for a whole shift?

- Terrence! - It never ends!

It was rotten of me!

Just go. You can't miss your shift.

We'll do the waiting.

You guys are the best. [kisses]

As soon as my shift ends,

I'll come back and wait with you.

Jeez, what now?

The clerk's asking everyone

which cover of the book they want.

Don't we have until midnight?

I was so moved by your song, I'm releasing it early.

[chuckles]

What? Why?

This store is my older sister Vicky's.

She tricked me and my younger sister into manning the sale.

It goes all the way to the top.

Do you know which cover Terri would want?

Not a clue.

[sighs] Hold my spot. I'll go find out.

[pants]

Terri, which cover of The Tightrope Walker's Wife

do you want?

Hmm. I'd have to see them in person.

Mind the counter. BRB.

Oh. Oh.

One slice of cheese, please.

Barry! What are you doing here?

I'm hungry.

Also, the line started moving,

so Terri said I should help cover her shift.

Hello. You kids working here?

Yes, sir. Can I get you a slice?

No, I'm actually the, uh...

cash register inspector.

[both] Oh.

Yeah, uh, I'm gonna need to look at your cash register.

Oh, by all means.

Oh, no serial number.

Can't legally operate a cash register without a serial number.

[both] Oh, no.

Hey, don't worry.

I'll just take this out to my cash register repair van

- and add the number. - [sighs]

[both] Thank you so much.

- Whew! - Wow, that was close.

What are you kids doing here? Where's my cash register?

Oh, it's being fixed.

The cash register inspector took it to his van.

The who?

[both] The cash register inspector.

You got tricked!

[gasps] He was a fake cash register inspector?

No, there's no such thing as a cash register inspector!

Oh...

Oh... Yeah, we didn't know that.

Yep, yep, yep, yep. That makes sense.

Where's Terri?

[pants] Right here!

Terri, you're fired.

So are these two fingerling potatoes.

You're a... You're all fired.

They don't even work here. How can you fire them?

Oh, I... This is how.

Okay, here, fill out these applications.

I got to fire you. And si... And the date.
