[narrator] Brought to you by Al's Aluminum Foil.
Leftovers, foiled again!
Uh, Miss Deer Teacher, just reminding you
that a new student will be joining your class tomorrow.
His name is... Little Louis.
Yep, his desk is ready to go and his name's on the roll call.
Very good! And as for showing Little Louis around,
did anyone volunteer for a "student ambassador"?
[scoffs] Take a guess.
[trumpet plays]
What a sash!
I'd also like to officially take this moment
to officially announce that I've deputized
Barry Buns to be my second in command.
Maybe you should wear a sash.
The address is right over here.
Weird. I didn't think there were any houses over this way.
No houses, just one big wall.
- Barry, look! - [echoing voice] Hello!
The new kid is an actual kid. Cool!
[echoing voice] Once every 100 years, a kid is born,
and when they are of age, they have the option
to go to school for one day and decide whether
they would like to return to The Wall,
or disconnect from the hive mind...
forever. [echoing]
Wow! It's good you guys do that.
[echoing voice] Would you like to hear a song about it first?
- About the thing you explained? - The song explains it better.
♪ Clippity-clop, clippity-clop Clippity, clippity-clop ♪
♪ We are Goat, The Wall of Goat ♪
♪ Once every hundred years or so ♪
♪ A kid is allowed to clop alone ♪
♪ And today's kid is Little Louis ♪
Hello!
Yay! Hi! Cool! Hi!
[echoing voice] We promise we won't check in
on Little Louis all day.
Okay.
[echoing voice] He has the whole day to himself.
Yeah. Bye!
[frog croaks]
[plane engine roaring]
I wonder where it's going.
Here, Louis, this way.
Barry, this is cool.
We're not just showing Little Louis around school,
we're gonna help him figure out how to be an individual.
He's only ever been another clop in the hive.
Gee, that's a lot of pressure.
Hey, you knew what you signed up for
when you donned that sash, pal.
[echoing voice] We wonder if we've reached
our destination yet.
Let us just have a quick check.
One little check.
Hmm, almost. Very good.
- [Kiff] Good morning, everyone. - [school bell rings]
Please meet Little Louis.
[applause]
Louis, why don't you tell us
a little something about yourself.
We are goat, The Wall of Goat.
Hey, anybody got a question?
- Yes, Reggie? - What's your favorite movie?
Ooh, what's your favorite movie?
Hot Mail.
My favorite movie's Hot Mail.
My favorite movie is Trouble with Friends.
My favorite movie's Trouble with Friends.
Ah, Louis, you're allowed to have your own favorite movie.
- You know that, right? - My own favorite?
Yeah, for example, my favorite movie
is Fighting Families Valentine's Day Vacation.
- [students] Boo! - Nobody likes
that movie anymore.
No? Huh, okay, I was kidding.
I like Trouble with Friends. Great film.
[agitated chattering]
[echoing voice] Our favorite movie is
The Four Horns of Jungle Island.
Final answer.
What? Wha-- What'd I do?
Why is everybody blinking?
What?
Recess!
The Four Horns of Jungle Island was a musical from the '30s
- that featured an all-goat cast. - I'd watch that.
No. I mean, I don't think that's Little Louis' favorite movie.
I think that's the Wall of Goats' favorite movie.
Well, he is part of a hive mind.
They said they weren't gonna check on him.
They lied. All 400 of them got together and told a lie.
Wonder of wonders!
Oh! You like planes?
Wanna make your own? I've got paper for days.
- Shouldn't we all be making one? - Huh? No!
No, no, that's the beauty of recess.
You do whatever you want.
Look, Candle's holding court at top of the slide,
Reggie's kicking rocks,
and Renee is doing beat poetry.
It's a blast.
[echoing voice] Clippity-clop, clippity-clop,
clippity-clippity-clippity-clop, clippity-clop.
Now, Louis, the best part of lunch
is that everyone gets to decide for themselves
what they uniquely want.
You could choose between spaghetti,
eggplant parm or grilled cheese.
Grilled cheese! I-- I've never had that before.
Ah, today's your day!
I'll have the... [gasps]
Huh! No, no, no, no, no, no!
[echoing voice] Eggplant parm.
He wants grilled cheese!
[echoing voice] Eggplant parm. Final answer.
He said "eggplant parm" twice.
He said "grilled cheese" first. He's trapped in a hive mind.
Please give him the sandwich.
Do you think a kid wants eggplant parm?
Do you think anyone here wants eggplant parm?
He asks for parm...
- [wall voice noises] - ...he's getting the parm.
- [grunting] - [dishes clattering]
Oh, he's just snapped out of it.
Louis, what did you want for lunch?
Grilled cheese?
See? There you go.
Don't you wanna try your grilled cheese?
I guess I'm not very hungry.
Maybe I should return to The Wall.
Maybe I should return this sash.
It's not cool how The Wall keeps checking in on you.
If only there was a way we could foil them.
Huh?
Ooh! Wait a minute.
Barry, Louis didn't get his fair shot.
The hive was constantly chiming in
as soon as he got any momentum going.
He needs a proper day of self-discovery.
I hate The Four Horns of Jungle Island.
It was mediocre at release and has only dimmed since.
Wonderful!
But won't they know something's up
if they can't connect with him?
Not if he's there on The Wall with them.
[wry laughter]
What?
Barry, you'll take Louis to school
while I take his place on The Wall.
At the end of the day, Louis can make
an actual informed choice.
Great! Now all we have to do is dress Louis up as Kiff.
What?
That's not what we're doing.
Right. Right.
Louis, it's time to learn who you are,
what you love and what ya scorn.
I'd look great in foil.
[echoing voice] Little Louis, we have returned.
Have we made a decision?
Uh, yes.
- I... - [echoing voice] I?
Uh... we are about 85% decided.
Can I, uh, can we have until the end of the day?
- We are Goat! - [echoing voice] Yes, sure.
In the meantime, we can rehearse our latest song.
Oh, boy! [feigned chuckle]
♪ We are Goat, The Wall of Goat ♪
♪ Grab a pen, jot down a note ♪
- [out of sync] Note. - Louis, you are dragging
and you aren't saying
the first letter of each word.
You're just filling in the rest of the word
after we say, "puh" for example,
and it is seems like you don't think we notice.
What's going on, Louis?
Uh, let's watch our beloved 1930s hit,
The Four Horns of Jungle Island!
[all] Yippee!
[triumphant theme playing]
[students] The four legs of the table.
Stability, balance, firmness and the other one.
[man on TV] Sergio, do you not crave the mineral?
[laughs out of sync]
[upbeat theme playing]
[echoing voice] Louis, what is happening? Where are we?
Oh, no, something must have happened to Louis' tinfoil hat.
I'm at school still.
[echoing voice] What? Imposter!
Uh, sorry.
[echoing voice] This is a very ungoatly situation.
I will not return to The Wall.
All right! [softly] No offense, goats.
[Louis] But I have also decided not to return to school.
- Huh? What gives? - [echoing voice] Please explain.
I have decided to pursue a career in airplane design.
- Who is he talking to? - You see, Kiff,
you unknowingly clippity-clop with your own hive.
This school you love so much,
it's just another Wall
with different shapes of goat.
I mean, look at all of them
in their little tin foil caps.
It turns out everything's kind of a hive,
you just have to find the hive that suits
who you are as a solo goat.
So, it's not that hives are bad,
it's that being in ill-fitting hives is bad
because then you betray yourself.
You disguise who you really are.
Kiff, it's Barry. Hey, isn't Louis
a little young to be an airplane designer?
That's the only real, like, "Wait, what's that?"
about this whole thing for me. Okay, thank you, bye.
Not really, I'm 105.
He's 105?
[echoing voice] Yes, he is of age.
I'm an adult kid.
I don't get y'all's hive.
["Top Gun" style theme playing]
[theme music playing]
Chirp.
