Getting paid to smash stuff, Ha ha.
You gotta love this job.
Loo--uh--
Get out of our home.
Yeah...
Well, I hate to break it to you, Pal,
but this building's condemned by order of councilwoman Liang.
Yeah, so move it, or lose it.
This place is coming down,
like it or not.
Ah!
Aah!
Uh, get these things off of me!
Well, if you think we're bugging you now...
Oh, they'll never catch me.
There he is!
You sure?
Totally.
Look out!
Banzai! Coming through.
Hey!
Huh?
Some people just can't hang on to their money.
No way.
Well, I did just nab a bad guy.
Now we're talkin'.
Look, I'm telling you--that--that motorcycle,
it was driving itself.
Where's Ben?
Long chase, hot day,
I'm thinking--
Uh.
You ok?
Ah-choo!
I'll, uh, take that as a no.
Well, 101.
Sorry, Ben, it's official.
You have a summer cold.
Maybe from now on you'll
think twice before having snack
time inside an ice cream truck.
Uh--uh--
Hey! That's my new blouse.
Ah-choo!
Maybe from now on you'll think
twice about leaving your new
clothes just lying around.
Cold tablets, decongestant,
cough suppressant, hospital mask.
Uh, I don't need all that junk.
They're not for you, dweeb.
They're for me. Once a bug like that gets out,
There's no stopping it.
Why don't you just lock me
away in some closet somewhere
until I'm better?
oh! Can we can grandpa? Pretty please?
All ben needs is a dose of
my famous song ju yen pien
cold remedy.
Let's go, chinatown's just down
the block.
You know, it's so hard to
find fresh potikadon root anymore.
It's all freeze-dried nowadays.
Can I get a milkshake or something?
Uh, my throat is killing me.
Don't worry. The stinkweed honey in the
song ju yen pien coats your
entire esophageal area.
Uh.
And that's a good thing?
So, where exactly did you
learn how to make this stuff, Grandpa?
I picked it up from a monk in
Guangdong, China.
They have plumbing in china, too, you know.
Ladies and gentlemen.
I want to thank all of you for
Your support of my downtown
Redevelopment program.
It's truly a dream come true.
Better make that a nightmare, Councilwoman.
Wasps!
You're not tearing down our
apartment building.
We won't let you.
You're the nut job who wouldn't leave.
Nice to know we've made an impression.
What are you doing?
Just bringing you home for dinner.
You're the main course.
This looks like a job for--
Ah, ah, ah--
Has Ben gone rabid or what?
Ben's cold must be effecting
Wildmutt's sense of smell.
With his schnoz clogged,
he can't tell where he's going.
Ok, fur ball.
I'm driving.
Oh!
Go left!
No, your other left!
Oh!
Uh!
Help!
Thanks, Grandpa.
Just hope you don't mind
smelling like chicken dumplings.
Ouch. Oh, man.
Just when I thought it couldn't
get any worse.
Here, this will help.
Uh, yuck!
Don't worry, it smells worse
than it tastes.
Or is that the other way around?
It's not just you I'm worried about.
Seems like your bug has spread
to all your aliens as well.
No telling how it'll effect them.
Uh, uh.
That was so grim.
Don't worry, after 10 or so
doses, you'll start to get used to it.
Uh, I don't know what's
worse, the cold or the cure.
Got it.
Bug guy said something about
knocking down his apartment building.
Well, the only apartment
downtown left for demolition is
at 8610 chester street.
what grandpa doesn't know
won't hurt me.
please, don't hurt me.
Black widows.
You shouldn't make any sudden moves.
Our grandfather built this building.
We grew up here.
Just me and my little friends.
They are the only ones who
understand, and no one is evicting us.
Nice place to visit, but I
Wouldn't want to live here.
Let's all stay together.
They've gotta be here somewhere.
Something tells me we're
getting close.
Where's Ben?
Aah! Mega bug!
Ha ha, real funny.
I thought so.
Help!
That came from right above us.
I'm on it.
it's your hives.
The cold must've turned them
into pus-filled pockets of--
pure putridness.
I can't help it, I'm sick.
You're tellin' me.
Stop.
Black widows.
There's gotta be some way
to help her.
Uh--
Ah-choo!
Oops.
Uh, thanks.
Don't mention it.
You are trespassing.
Uh!
We will rule mankind.
Grandpa, look out!
Huh!
Termites!
Aah!
You want to be king?
Get ready to be crowned.
Aah!
Ants in my pants!
Ow!
Uh!
Yah!
You're destroying our home!
No!
The whole place is coming down!
We have to get out of here.
No time.
Uh, it's a good thing I can't
feel my head.
No, no, no!
You will all be sorry.
We will exterminate the entire city.
This has been a really weird day.
Welcome to our world.
Uh, at least my hives are gone.
Where'd that smelly 4-armed guy go?
I wanted to thank him.
I'll let him know.
Can you find your way back home?
So, where do you think bug brain crawled off to?
Only one way to exterminate a whole city.
Oh, turn on the heat,
Grandpa, it's freezing in here.
It's already on, Ben,
But you're shaking like an earthquake.
Gwen, get him another dose of my
Song ju yen pien.
No, no, no--I mean, I just
finished it off.
All gone.
I'm sure it's gonna start
working any minute now.
Wow, listen to this.
Ants can lift 10 times their own
body weight, grasshoppers can
leap 100 times their length,
and cockroaches can hold their
breath for over an hour.
Uh, we don't need their
resumes, we need to know how
to squash them.
Duh, I'm saying insects are
pretty tough little suckers.
Short of another ice age or a
tanker full of pesticide, looks
like holding a bug barbecue
is our best option.
And I know just the chef.
What's happening?
Is that bad?
No. I'm sure anytime an alarm goes
off inside a nuclear plant it's
good news.
Core temperature rising.
Approaching critical.
He must be fooling around
with the reactor's controls.
Let's go.
Core temperature critical.
Meltdown imminent.
All the controls are smashed.
We'll have to shut it down manually.
How do we do that?
just outside the reactor core
there's an emergency override system.
Let me guess, you learned
about nuclear reactors from
a monk in China.
Came for a front row seat?
This place goes nuclear,
you're gonna wind up blowing
along with the rest of us.
We don't think so.
When the reactor goes
supercritical, we'll be snug
as bugs in a rug.
Of course!
Scientists think cockroaches are
the only things that would survive the blast.
So, the guy's gonna wear a
bug suit to protect himself from
the meltdown?
Wait.
Something's weird about you.
Uh, we don't have time for
you to dis me.
You guys shut down the reactor.
I'll take care of bugsy.
Uh!
You can't escape us.
That's it.
Time to turn up the heat blast
around here.
Ah-choo!
Hey, what happened?
You should be a bunch of
briquettes by now.
My cold!
It froze my flames.
Uh-oh.
Remember the old expression,
mean as a hornet?
Meltdown in 5 minutes.
Uh!
Oh, man, maybe we could talk
about this.
Whoa! Hey.
Core temperature critical.
Meltdown in 1 minute.
Uh!
Grandpa, I can't hold these
bugs off much longer.
Meltdown in 30 seconds.
Did somebody call for a hero?
I don't get it.
Since when are you an automatic
ice cube maker?
I guess for some aliens
getting a cold isn't just an expression.
I can't override, all the
manual controls have overheated.
Ben, look out!
Core meltdown in 10...
Stand clear, I've got an idea.
9...
8...
7...
6...
5...
4...
3...
2...
Core temperature falling.
Returning to below critical limits.
All right!
Way to go, Ben.
Thanks, heh heh.
Now, can we please get some hot
chocolate or something?
Bad guy's on ice, the reactor's
chillin', and I think--ahh,
that steam knocked out the last
Of my cold.
Don't you just love it when
everything works out?
Sorry, Mr. Roach.
This is going to hurt you a lot
more than it's going to hurt me.
Ugh.
Aah!
Company, lots of company!
We didn't appreciate that
cold shoulder you gave us in the
power plant.
Hah!
I thought you turned Mr. Bug
into a snow cone.
He must've thawed out.
Oh, man.
We're on our own, any ideas how
to get rid of them?
Uh, not unless you've got
a 6-foot candy bar to tempt them with.
Nope, but I have the next
best thing.
Come and get it!
What's happening?
Fetch!
Heh heh heh.
Oh!
Good. That guy was really starting to bug me.
I'm calling the police,
I'll be right back.
Ah--ah--ah-choo!
Oh, no.
Hey, what do you know.
Everything really did work out after all.
Ah-choo!
