♪ Oh, oh, veggies veggies

♪ You're so sweet

♪ Oh, there ain't none that I don't eat, uh-huh ♪

Huh? (GASPS)

Ugh! Except for Brussel sprouts!

Ugh! Gross!

Um, hello.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'll totally pay for that.

Oh, it's okay.

Uh, they're free.

Really? Oh, all right then.

Uh, hi, I'm Mina.

Uh, hi. Russell.

Uh, hey, I like the green hair.

You know, I was thinking about changing up my red sometime.

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

Uh, thanks.

Um, so, again, sorry about the freak out.

But you gotta admit, Brussel sprouts are kinda gross, right?

No, no, no, no, no. Not at all.

Uh, especially the way I cook 'em.

Oh, you cook, huh?

Well, sometime you'll have to come over

-and show me how you make... -Look, I accept.

I'll cook you dinner tonight.

Okay. I mean, I guess I kind of do owe you one.

Great. Uh...

Let me just give my sprouts a little water sprits

to keep them fresh and I'll catch up.

All right, you got it. (HUMMING)

-Huh? -(CHUCKLES)

Okay, all set.

Uh, let's get cooking.

(SNORING)

Hey, Harold. Hey, Chester.

This is my friend Russell.

Hi. Uh, pleased to meet you.

(SNIFFS)

Oh, hey, Dad.

-What? Oh! Hey, Mina. -(MUSIC PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES)

Dad, this is my new friend, Russell.

-He's cooking me dinner. -Huh?

Oh, hey, kid!

Uh, hi, Mr. Min... Oh!

I'm sorry.

Psst! (SHOUTS) Hey, Mina!

Your friend, kinda of an odd ball right?

Well, you two kids have fun.

-(DOOR CLOSES) -Sorry about that.

-My dad... -Oh, it's fine, Mina.

-He seems very nice. -Thanks, Russell.

MINA: All right, now let's get you all set up in the kitchen.

Okay, so, here's the oven.

Pretty standard stuff.

I've already got it all pre-heated for you.

(SNIFFING)

-BOTH: Ew! -Ah!

And any utensils you need, will be right over...

(GASPS) Oh, no!

(WHIMPERS)

Uh, so I think that's everything you're gonna need for the...

Uh...

You know, let's go see if we can find you a hairnet. (CHUCKLES)

Psst. Hey, Chester.

Mina's friend,

kind of an odd ball, right?

(ALL GASP) Huh?

Ah! That guy is some sort of a were-cabbage or something.

He says he wants to "make Mina dinner."

He's gonna eat her.

And then he's gonna eat me!

(BOTH GASP)

Oh, my gosh!

We gotta stop him!

So, do you go to school anywhere around here?

Well, it's kind of complicated.

(GASPS)

Oh, uh, bathroom break.

(THUDDING)

Ew.

Uh, what is happening?

Hello, Russell. Comfortable?

I just wanted to cook something nice for Mina.

I don't mean her any harm. Really.

Oh, I believe you, Russell.

I'm on your side.

(CRUNCHING) Doggy biscuit?

I swear I just... Ow!

Mmm!

Uh, what is he doing?

(LAUGHS) I'm sorry about that.

This is my associate, Bunnicula.

He's actually a veggie sucking vampire bunny, believe it or not.

Oh, he's a loose cannon this guy.

And very hungry.

Oh, oops. There he goes again.

Uh-oh.

Oh, okay, I'll talk, I'll talk!

(SIGHS) Okay, here's the truth.

See, a long, long time ago,

RUSSELL: I used to be the pickiest eater in the world.

Brussel sprouts were the worst.

When my mother got fed up,

she told me the story of Old Mother Cupboard,

a witch that puts curses on little children that didn't eat their veggies.

I never believed her.

Your mother is telling the truth, Son.

Isn't that right girls?

ALL: Yes, Papa.

RUSSELL: One night, that all changed.

(GASPS)

Curse!

RUSSELL: The stories were all true!

Old Mother Cupboard cursed me to travel the world

and convince just one stubborn kid like me

to like Brussel sprouts.

And in the meantime, I've been slowly changing

from a human boy to a veggie boy.

And if I can't convince Mina by midnight tonight,

there will be nothing left of me anymore,

but a sad little pile of Brussel sprouts.

So, anyway, that's my story.

(SLURPING)

Hey, you can do this, Russell.

Get in that kitchen and whip up some Brussel sprouts that will blow Mina's mind.

That's just the pep talk I needed to hear.

Huh? (LAUGHS)

I just need to pull it together.

(CHUCKLES) Just gotta keep my eyes on the prize.

Yeah, we're gonna need to fix you up a bit before dinner.

Okay, first things first,

your roots are starting to show.

Ah!

Oh.

(HUMMING)

You know, I could provide you with some great fertilizer.

Sometimes even twice a day.

Harold, what are you doing?

-Russell doesn't need a shave. -Uh, what's a shave?

(SNORING)

RUSSELL: Mina? Uh, Mina?

Huh? What?

Dinner's ready.

(GASPS) Brussel sprout!

What? Oh, oh, no!

(GASPS) Oh, oh.

-Phew. -Russell?

Sorry, I must've dozed off.

You were in the bathroom for a really long time.

Is everything okay?

All right, here they come.

Remember, we gotta keep Russell,

normal, charming and persuasive.

Time to set the mood. Hit it, Bunnicula.

(SLURPING)

(SIGHS)

All right, uh, so, uh, voila!

MINA: Wow! Russell, you did all this?

Yeah. I hope it's worth the wait.

-Well, uh... -(BUNNICULA LAUGHS)

Bon... Bon appetit.

(GIGGLES)

Whoa! This is amazing.

So, what are we having?

Uh, I call it, linguini surprise.

(GASPS) Brussel sprouts!

Back! Back from whence you came!

Uh, surprise?

Uh, didn't I mention at the market

that I really don't like...

Anyway, it looks great,

especially the linguini. (CHUCKLES)

Wow, pasta is really good. (CHUCKLES)

What's your secret?

(CHUCKLES) I don't...

Huh? Um...

I'm alfredo, I can't tell you.

(CHUCKLES)

Uh, oh! (LAUGHS)

(CHUCKLES)

Oops! Sorry.

Oh! Those little stinkers are slippery. (CHUCKLES)

Ah! Six minutes to midnight.

(GASPS) That's an oddly specific cuckoo clock.

(CHUCKLES)

We're losing her! Get back out there

and remember, soothing, comfortable.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

Aw, Harold, really? You too?

(CHUCKLES) Look at that.

Harold's got good taste.

You sure you don't want a little bite?

Oh, fine. You guys win.

(RETCHING)

Ah...

RUSSELL: Ah!

(SCREAMS)

(SLURPING)

Oh, darn! Well, can't eat this now that it's been on the floor.

(CHUCKLES) Sorry.

Of all the rotten luck, huh? (CHUCKLES)

-(DINGS) -Ah!

It's almost midnight.

-(CLOCK TICKS) -It's midnight.

(GASPS)

-Ah! -Are you okay, Russell?

Oh, we're too late!

He's gonna be a 100% veggie in any moment.

We gotta get him out of here quick before Mina sees!

Harold, waterfalls!

Huh? Waterfall... Oh, got it.

(WHIMPERS)

Oh, sorry, Harold needs to be let out. Be right back.

Sorry, Russell, time to go!

But I still haven't... Ah!

Uh, sorry, Mina, I got to go.

RUSSELL: That's my curfew. It was very nice meeting you!

Wait, but... Wow, is it really that late?

(SNORING)

-I guess it is. Dad's sleep-walking again. -(THUD)

Dad!

(PANTS) There he is.

Oh, no! We're too late!

Oh, look away!

(SLURPS)

There you go, Dad. Back to bed.

FATHER: All hail America.

What? Another one?

Such a fuss of such a silly little thing.

Ah, what the heck.

Wow! Brussel sprouts are actually delicious.

Man, I owe Russell a big old pile of gratitude.

Aw, poor Russell.

Poor Russell.

Huh?

(LAUGHS)

Ah!

(GASPS)

Woo-hoo!

(BOTH GASP)

Woo-hoo! I can't believe it! Mina must've come through.

I'm finally free!

Thank you so much for helping me guys!

Tell Mina to come visit me again at the farmers' market next week, okay?

Woo-hoo!

(SNIFFING)

Huh. These old guys actually look pretty tasty if you ask me.

(GAGS)

Oh, the horror!

The horror!

(DINGS)

Curse!
