Dump!

Oooh man, this is gonna be so much fun!

Gull, you're really excited

about the Antique Nut Show, aren't ya?

Oh, very much so!

I can't wait to see all those exotic nuts.

Merl says it's gonna be the event of the nut season.

Umm, how come you aren't gonna come Pickle?

Yeah well, the Nut Show sounds a little too boring for me Gull.

And with Merl out of the house I'll finally be able to build

my super-duper-fantastic Surfboard Lava Slide!

[gasp]

Maybe me and Merl should stay here and help you

with your Surfboard Lava...

Shhhh Gull, it's a secret.

C'mon Merl!

Your nuts are loaded and ready for the...

Merl? Merrrl?

Merr-lll..!

We're gonna miss the March of the Macadamia..!

Ooooooooooooooo...

Did that sound like a zombie to you??

Ooooooooooooooo...

Oooooooooooooo...

Noooooooooooo...

ZOMBIE!!

Merl! You look sick!

There is nothing that will keep Merl

from going to the nut shoooowww!

Ooohh, I think Merl's too sick to leave.

No, you're fine aren't ya Merl?

Maybe Merl could take a leetle rest.

[pain spasm]

[sigh]

Alright, but let's try and do this quickly.

What are you doing?

Just trying to figure out some way

to get you out of the stump fast.

I mean, just making sure you're okay.

[chewing]

Is it gas?

I bet it's gas.

Boop boop boop...

Stop that!

[pained groan]

It is not the gas.

Yup, gotta be gas.

[pained groan]

You just need to fart Merl.

[groan]

Merl does not fart!

Aww but it's easy!

Anyone can do it.

Merl says "no".

Well, if I have my squirrel physiology correct.

And I think I do.

This looks to me like a case of Squirrel Plague.

SQUIRREL PLAGUE!!!

What's Squirrel Plague?

Hahahaha...

[cough]

Don't be silly Pickle.

[chuckles]

The Squirrel Plague.

[coughing]

She has been eliminated.

And if Merl had it

[gagging]...

the tail, she'd be covered in the yellow spots.

Uh, Merl?

Hmmmm?

[GASP]

No no no!

This cannot be,

Merl cannot have the Squirrel

Plaaaaggghh!

[SHRIEK]

Yeah, Merl needs a doctor!

[gasps]

Well, we really won't know for sure

until we do a proper examination.

Do it!

Nurse Gull!

Yes Doctor.

Prepare the patient for examination!

YES DOCTOR!

I'm an Am-bu-lance!

Siren! Siren!

UGH!!!!!!

Si-ren! Si-ren!

Si-ren! Si-ren!

Siren! Si-ren!

Si-ren! Si-ren!

The patient is prep-a-rated, Doctor!

[groans]

[screams] YAAAAHHH!!!

Very interesting!

[gasps]

[gasp]

We need to rehydrate him!

Yes doctor!

Is that a garden hose?

[muffled struggling]

[gag]

Ahhh!

[gags]

Well, the results are in

and you are clear to go to the Nut Show!

YAY!

Merl... is ok?

Totally, other than a slight case of the 'Moist-Mouth'.

MOIST MOUTH!

MOIST MOUTH!

There goes the lava slide.

What is moist mouth?

I knew a squirrel who had the moist mouth once.

Yes, and...

What happened to him?

Like I said, I used to know him.

[SCREAMS] AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

[SCREAMS] AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Ooh.

[chuckles]

[munching]

This tongue towel tastes funny.

Gull! What are you doing?!

Nuff-fing.

Those paper towels are covered with the--

[pain spasm]

the squirrel plague.

Hmm. Is that what that taste is?

[slurps]

Mmmm, very plague-elicious.

That is it!

It is up to Merl to keep everyone in the stump

[stomach rumbling]

[groan]

safe.

What are you going to do Merl?

Merl is going into quarantine!

[groans]

[knocks]

Fight Merl!

You are strong you can beat this plague.

[pain spasm]

[groaning]

Oh Gull, I can't bear to watch this anymore.

It's just so sad

and a little boring,

actually more than a little boring

but mostly just so, so sad!

Quick Gull, tell me a happy story.

Hmmm, well let's see.

There's there's just so many happy stories to tell.

[chuckles]

You know, right up until

the whole Squirrel plaguey thing, that is.

Hmmm, well maybe just pick one

from your happy childhood then.

[chuckling]

Oh that's easy!

When I was growing up...

All alone on my rotting heap of garbage.

With no parents to feed me, or hug me, or love me...

Why would you tell me such a sad story...

Well hold on, I'm not done yet.

There is still a happy ending.

[chuckles]

After that, I met you and Merl and we all moved in together

into our new stump home.

You're right! That is a happy ending!

[cheerful]

AWW!

[giggles]

[pained groan]

[sobbing]

[sobbing]

[starting to laugh]

[laughing]

[groans]

[sobbing]

[laughing]

That is it!

Those two have no respect for the dying...

The end...

she is coming!

[laughing hysterically]

[loud fart]

Merl?

Merl was the bestest friend what I ever had even!

[sobs]

I think Merl put it best when he said...

[painful screaming].

We must honor his memory

[sniffling]...

...with a 21-Snot Salute!

[trumpet playing salute]

I just wish Merl was here to see this.

If only he could give us some sign that he is okay...

Hey beat it, pal!

Can't you see we're mourning Merl...

[gasp]

Merl??

Yes?

Is... is it...

really, really you?

Of course it is me! The Merl.

He's aliiiiive!

He's a ghost!

[screams] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

What?!

No, I am not the ghost!

Oh, so you're cured.

Eh, it turns out the Squirrel Plague

was simply the uhh... gassy-ness, heh.

Once it was uhh...

...relieved by the grandioso Fartissimo,

then the pain, she was gone.

Oh it was gas!

[chuckles]

I was right.

Uhh, I was right?

But, what about the yellow spots on your tail?

Oh yes, the "spots"

these were just the mustard stains from Gull's hotdog!

Mmmmm!

Ghost hot-dog!

[munching]

GHOST HOT DOG?!!!

[screaming] AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey gull.

[screaming] AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gull? GULL!!

UGH!!!!!!!

Look! He's not a ghost.

He's Merl!

Merl?! Not dead?

For realsies?

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Wha...?

ENOUGH!

Now look, it's been a very long and painful day for Merl

and all I want to do is take my valuable,

prized nut collection and have it appraised

by the experts at the nut show.

YES!

FINALLY!

OFF TO THE NUT SHOW!!!

Where is my prized nut collection!

Yeah, where is Merl's prized nut collection?!

Uhh yeah... so the nearest I can figure is uhh...

looks like the birds got 'em.

Merl

[gasp]...

would've wanted this...

[chomping gulp]

[burp]

(Both): The birds?

Uh Yeah, yup yup...

that uhh, that's what we're figuring.

So all my prized nuts are gone?

So all his prized nuts are gone?

And I missed the Nut Show!?

And he missed the Nut Show!?

Well, look on the bright side guys.

We got a whole year to collect more nuts

for the next Nut Show!

NOOOOOOOO!

My nuts!

Merl's nuts!

NUTS!!!

Stop! I'll never survive!

Nooooo!

Tune in next week to our exciting conclusion.

What?!?

But the show, how does she end?

We'll just have to wait...

...ohh, one whole week of amazin' mystery and suspense!

A WHOLE WEEK?!?!

Yeah, Merl, didn't you hear the music?

It was all like this...

Dumb-dumb-dummmmmmmmmmb-dram atic-musical-sting!

No...

It cannot be!

I MUST know the ending!

I must!!

Not me.

I LOVE a good cliffhanger.

Fact is: I wish my life could be filled with drama,

and suspense!!

Me too!

Cuz I'm the...

Dumb-dumb-dummmmb guy.

Yes, this...

I do not dispute.

Now will you excuse me?

Hmmm, stay tuned!

[sighs]

All the mystery, the uncertainty,

the ending without the ending...

She make me VERY hungry, yes?

Under these covers are delicious condiments

for Merl's sandwich!

One contains mustard, one contains mayonnaise,

and one contains... a deadly snake!

Which one will Merl choose?

Uhh... that one?

Are you sure?

[stammering] That one.

Is that your final answer?

["Jeopardy" tune]

Yes!

Tune in next week for our exciting conclusion!

What!?

But I am hungry, I cannot wait until the week that is next

to eat the sandwich.

Ohh, sorry, Merl.

Wouldn't be very suspenseful now, would it?

I do not care about the suspense!

I only want to eat the sandwich!

[screams] AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Will our hero survive the ravenous reptile?

Tune in next week for the shocking conclusion!

I do not think that the snake,

she will wait a week before the eating of me!

Dumb-dumb-dummmmb.

And now, a drama in the Stump!

I, am the Merl, and that is an impostorito!

[gasp!]

Huh?

Really?

HMM... AHH!

Stop this that you are doing!

I am the real Merl!

[GASP]

Is it true!?

Yes it's true!

I didn't want you to know the truth.

The truth is that I have... amnesia!

[whimpers]

[GASP] You do!?

Do what?

Have amnesia?

Who has amnesia?

ENOUGH!

Stop this sillyousoness!

[gasp]

What?

But it's an internet sensation!

Hey Merl streamin' live!

Merl! Your fans are in a fevered pitch!

What will happen to Merl next!?

In the stump...

stay tuned!

You know, there's more to life in the stump

than drama and suspense.

There are also... cliffhangers!

Ow...

I think you hurt my arm.

Merl... I am your father.

Que?!?

I...am your father.

Sorry. I do not understand.

We are not even the same species.

Would you believe I'm the twin sister you never knew you had?

No, I would not.

I'm a space princess!!

Okay.

But this, it is STILL not the cliffhanger.

This is just the uhh, tomfoolery.

[sigh]

Gotta agree with ya there, Merl.

A cliffhanger, she needs the big stakes.

Something exciting or dangerous.

I go to the bathroom... or the bedroom...

who cares?

It is not that dangerous, yes?

Huh, I think you may be right, Merl.

Ahem, of course. I am.

Now, let me go to the bathroom!

That's right folks, a Great White Shark

has been put into Merl's toilet --

to make it more... dangerous!

[screaming wildly] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

The potty!

The shark!

THIS! It was no cliffhanger either!

You're right, Merl.

So DON'T MOVE!

Que?

This, how did it happen?

Oh... uh...hmmm,

Who knows? It's a cliffhanger!

Dumb-dumb-dumb-we-totally-ri gged-the-ceiling-to-fall-on-

Merl's-head-musical-sting.

One false step,

and the entire stump will come crashing down on Merl,

and ONLY Merl.

Will he survive?

Tune in...

next year!

What!?!?

But I cannot stand here for the whole year!!!

Sorry.

It's a Season Finale.

Dumb-dumb-dumb-season-finale

-only-reruns-ahead-musical -sting.

But the Gull, he can just say:

"The year, she has passed."

She has?!?

[loud crash]

Awww, Merl...

Ya ruined the cliffhanger!

Yes, I DID...I shall be...

THE SPOILER!

I spoil the cliffhanger...

with the resolution instanté!

Cliffhanger

[laughs]

Spoiler!

Haha- huh?

[gulp]

[splutters]

[laughing]

[doorbell]

Cliffhanger!

[baby crying]

Merl...

Gah! Spoiler!

[yelp]

Cliffhanger!

[screams] AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Spoiler!

A-Dumb-dumb-dumb!

Again, our hero suspects nothing.

How will he EVER survive that giant bomb

planted beneath his seat?

Spoiler!

[loud boom]

Awww, no fair.

These cliffhangers ain't that exciting.

We need to come up with something REALLY dangerous.

Aiyiyi! The spoiler!

This time he just hide somewhere safe!

[gasp]

[panting]

Whoaaaahhhh!

[gasping]

Where is the basement?

Oh no...

The bomb...

Before...

she blow up, and she open...

THE RIVER OF LAVA!

HELLLLLLLP!!!

Pssht!

Sounds like Spoiler Merl again, tryin' to spoil everything.

I cannot do the spoiling!

I am in real danger!

Hanging off the stairs.

Help meeee!

Oh, c'mon, Merl...

I'm the one who needs "help."

And I want a CLIFFhanger, not a STAIR-hanger.

NOOOO!

Okay! Now I am hanging from the cliff!

Please... HELP!!!

[groans]

Ignore him, Gull.

He's just trying to distract us

so we can't think of a good cliffhanger.

But I am hanging from the cliff!

Whatev-a.

Fingers... slipping...

about to fall...

Umm, hey, Merl, would you mind keeping it down

with all your shouting about hanging off a cliff, m'kay

because, Pickle's trying to figure out a good cliffhanger!

Yeah, Thank you!

Wait a sec...

The big cliffhanger.

It's starin' me right in the face!

The cliff-I-hang-from cliffhanger?

No, my cliffhanger is...

My SEARCH for a cliffhanger!

[gasp]

Dumb-dumb-dumb- dramatic-joke

-within-a-joke-musical-sting

Stay tuned...

Will our hero bunny find the cliffhanger ending

she so desperately seeks?

The answer...

Next time.

In the stump.

Now let's Freeze frame.

Will someone PLEASSSSE help?

Sorry, Merl.

Can't move.

We're in a freeze frame.

What?

This is not the freeze frame!

This is just the two of you standing very still.

Now HELP ME!

Before I FALLLLLLL!

Oh, uh...

uh... FREEZE FRAME!

Whew!

It's a close one huh?

Ho! The cliffhanger, perhaps she is not so bad after all?

"To be continued!"

Uhh, hmm, yeahhh.

Needs work.

OHH! I know!

But this was not the only peril facing our friends

at the end of this episode.

There was also the massive doomsday duckie

hurtling towards the stump.

OR...Will they simply be destroyed

with the rest of the planet by the invasion of...

[evil laughter]

The Alien Corn Cobs?

Or will something even more terrifying happen?

[gulp]

[sigh]

What...?
