Arlo: The Burping Pig Page #3

---

for the traveling Ming

dynasty art exhibit.

Which is why we

are deeply saddened

that the real perpetrators

were able to steal

this prized vase

under our watch.

That is why I am making

it my personal mission

to ensure that we get that vase

back to its rightful owners,

the people of this great town.

[man]

And in other news...

[Arlo] Let's get

the lay of the land.

[man] Wilson,

the Amazing Burping Pig,

escaped from the circus.

More on that wacky story

with the Bearded Lady.

And the gate just

swung right open,

and, uh, we couldn't catch him.

Little guy was just

too quick and he got away.

But, um, Wilson,

if you're watching this, uh,

your family misses you, man.

Where can a pig get

a drink around here?

Let's see, what's in here?

Hmm.

Hey there, sleepy.

Nah, there's no water in here.

It's like the Sahara

in this house.

[grunts]

And going up.

[rattling]

[gasps]

What the..?

[slurping water]

[breathing hard]

Ah, that hit the spot.

Oh, here come the fuzz!

Hi-ya!

[breathing hard]

[sighs]

That was a weird dream.

Uh, hot dog water?

[groans]

[sighs]

[grunts]

That was a close one.

That's the ticket.

Safe and sound.

[yawns]

Arlo?

Arlo, where are you?

[panicked breathing]

Arlo, this isn't funny!

[Jessica screaming]

[Jessica] Mom!

What is it?

You shrunk my favorite shirt!

What?

Look at it, it's way too small.

- It looks fine.

- No, I can't wear this!

Talia, top of the morning!

Joining us for breakfast?

- Why not?

- Because it's way too small!

Well, it just needs to be

stretched out a little bit.

- What are you doing?

- I'm trying to stretch it out.

- You are going...

- [Arlo] Oh, right.

Uh, stealth

pig powers activated!

- Not going to rip it.

- Yes you are!

Jessica!

Just wear a different shirt.

I can't wear a different shirt.

Don't mind me,

just an invisible pig.

[laughs] Grease lightning!

Cheerleading tryouts are today

and this is my lucky shirt!

[sighs]

Talia!

Why are you still in pajamas?

- No reason.

- Go get ready!

- We cannot be late.

- Okay, Mommy!

Is it just me, or is she

acting a little strange?

- I think she's just adjusting.

- I think she's just weird.

Arlo, that was too close.

You can't wander out like that!

- Why not?

- I mean what if they saw you?

You're lucky Dad's not home.

He definitely wouldn't

let me keep you.

Ah, don't be silly.

They just haven't met me yet.

To know me is to love me.

Even worse, what if

someone stepped on you?

Ouch!

I didn't think of that.

Here. Here are some

toys you can play with.

- [Ilana] Come on, Talia!

- Okay, Arlo.

I have to go to school.

Be a good little piggy.

Don't go anywhere.

You promise?

All right, well,

you have a great day at school.

Uh, uh, are these

all the apples you have?

Cause, you know,

I really love apples,

and I might get hungry later.

- That looks good.

- Fashion statement.

Come on, Talia!

Okay, guys, we have to get

ready quicker in the morning.

We cannot be late for school.

Oh, there's my ride.

- Who's that?

- Marcia Pinsky.

She's the captain of

the cheerleading team.

[Ilana] Well, maybe Sam

can get a ride with you.

Ha! I'm good.

[energetic pop music]

Hey, Marcia!

Hey, Susie!

What up, Jessie J?

- Jessie J?

- Jessie J?

- Just go with it, okay?

- [Talia] Okay.

So, Marcia, so this is my mom.

- Awesome.

- My sister, Samantha.

Double awesome.

And this is my

little sister Talia.

- Triple awesome!

- Totally triple.

- [both giggling]

- Hi.

So I hear you girls are

on the cheerleading team.

[laughs]

On the cheerleading team?

I'm captain of the

cheerleading team,

which is totally awesome.

Oh.

Oh, they're on the team, too.

Right, Susie?

Slightly less awesome,

but still pretty awesome.

[laughs]

Go Trojans! Woo-hoo!

So, Samantha,

are you on any teams?

Uh, math team.

Okay.

[laughs]

Go Trojans, I guess.

So, Jessie J,

you wanna get changed

so we can head to school?

Um, uh...

Your shirt's a little

tight, don't you think?

Yeah, way too tight.

Yeah, just give me a

second, I'll go inside.

You know what, forget it.

I have my gym bag.

You can just wear

one of my old shirts.

Just change in my car.

- Oh.

- Ready girls?

Bye, Jessica!

[energetic pop music]

Mm-hm. Hmm.

Very nice, Miss Talia.

Teacher's pet.

[lively music]

Guess what?

Jessica made the

cheerleading team!

Talia, I wanted to tell them!

Oh, that's great, honey!

I know where you

get your moves from!

- Great job, honey!

- It is pretty cool, right?

I mean it's not official yet,

but they pretty much said yes.

- [phone beeps]

- I'm happy for you, too.

Thanks.

- Everything okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Well, when does practice start?

That little weasel!

Who's the weasel?

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Practice starts tomorrow.

Go Trojans!

[Samantha sighs]

Teenagers.

Mm.

[laughs]

[sirens blaring]

[phone rings]

This is Ralph.

Yes. Yes, Boss.

Oh, my God.

Smooth as butter.

Oh, the vase?

It... Safe as can be.

At, it, a friend is

watching it for me.

Boss, the cops were on my butt.

The sirens, I could

hear them down the street.

I did, I used my head

like you taught me.

I... you know what?

I ditched it.

It's in a safe place.

Don't worry.

[sighs]

No, sir, I don't

wanna be in a body cast.

Okay. I, no.

When?

Next week.

The vase, in your hands,

next week.

You can bank on it.

Yes, sir.

Absolutely.

[blows raspberry]

[laughs]

What, are you kidding?

Okay, yes, sir. Bye.

[Ilana] I think we should go with

the off-white or powder blue.

- What do you think?

- I'd go with blue.

Yeah, I think we

should go with the white.

I'll call the painter tomorrow.

White. It's perfect.

I mean, I think it'll go

so great with the new vase.

- Don't you think?

- Yeah, I'll tell you,

Ernie really outdid himself

with that thing.

It actually looks expensive.

I know, it's perfect.

Wonder where he got it.

Probably a yard sale.

- Hey, how are the girls doing?

- Mm, you know.

They're slowly adjusting.

I think they might

actually like the place.

Oh, Jessica made the

cheerleading team.

No way! That's great.

I'm gonna have to

call her later.

How are things over there?

It's, uh, it's weird.

I mean, house is empty

and I'm in the girls' rooms.

You just, you know,

nothing up on the walls.

I don't know, it's just weird.

A lot of memories in this place.

Yeah. Well, you'll just

have to hurry home

so we can make plenty

of new ones here.

Thank you, David.

The girls and I really

appreciate everything

that you've done

for this family.

Thanks, baby. I'm the luckiest

guy in the world

to have four amazing ladies

all living under one roof.

Yep, and you get to

see them all next week.

[laughs]

Okay, little piggy.

I have to go to school.

Be a good little piggy.

I put some snacks under the bed.

Try to stay out of sight, okay?

No problemo.

[coins shaking]

Bye, Arlo!

Hey, looks just like my uncle.

See the family resemblance?

Hi, is this Tommy

from Tommy's Painting?
