Arlo: The Burping Pig Page #4

---

Hi, I'm Ilana Rose.

We just moved into the

house on Beacon Street.

Thanks.

So I have this ugly wallpaper,

and I was hoping you

could come check it out?

Okay. Great, Thursday

at noon would be perfect.

Thank you again,

and it's 1501 Beacon.

Great, I'll see you then.

Hmm.

[gasps]

Hey!

Oh, sorry, didn't see you there.

Well, maybe you should

watch where you're going!

What did you say?

I said, phew,

your breath stinks!

You didn't brush

your teeth this morning!

Yes, I did!

Well, maybe you

didn't use toothpaste.

My dad's a dentist, so I know

a little bit about teeth.

- Why you little...

- Ladies?

- Do we have a problem here?

- No.

- No, ma'am.

- I didn't think so.

You better watch

your step, Talia Rose.

I'm watching you.

- What?

- What?

[overlapping chatter]

- Hey, Jess.

- Hey, squirt.

Why are you here? I thought you were

at cheerleading practice tonight.

Oh, um, it got canceled.

No practice tonight.

Hey, Jessie J!

- Hey.

- And hey there,

um, Tabitha, right?

- It's Talia.

- Right, Talia.

That was gonna be

my second guess.

Anyway so, um,

sorry about before.

Just, it kinda happens

sometimes, you know?

Yeah.

We're still

besties though, right?

- Of course.

- Okay, awesome!

Well, I gotta run.

But I'll see ya later Jessie J!

See you, Tammy.

It's Talia.

- Whatever, let's go.

- Where's Sam?

Um, she had to stay to do some extra

credit or something. I don't know.

If cheerleading

practice got canceled,

then how come Marcia...

Uh, it starts tomorrow

for new members.

- How was your second day?

- It was, it was good.

It was good?

That's good.

[crickets chirping]

[groans]

Gotta stretch my hooves out.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Back to the old watering hole.

[slurps water]

Ah.

[gasps]

What the...!

Huh?

[breathing heavy]

Hi-ya! Gotcha!

[sighs]

It tastes like bacon.

I'm losing it.

[grunts]

Hey, I'm getting good at this!

Back home.

Where is your sister?

Come on, Jess!

We're gonna be late!

I'm here, I'm here.

Please stop yelling.

What's wrong with you?

[sighs] I haven't been

getting my beauty sleep.

You can say that again.

Why aren't you sleeping, Jess?

I don't know.

I keep having this crazy dream.

It keeps me up every night.

About what?

[sighs]

There's like a weird slurping

coming from the bathroom.

- Slurping?

- Yeah.

Like...

[slurping]

- [Talia groans]

- Mm.

- Sam, do you hear anything?

- No.

- What about you?

- No, definitely not.

Nothing like that.

That's so weird!

It feels so real.

Well, I'm sorry

you're not sleeping.

Oh, no. Come on.

We gotta go.

We're gonna be late.

No, no, no, no Jess.

Up you go. Come on.

- I'll be right back.

- All right, let's go.

[sighs]

Hey, if you're not doing

anything after school

let's go for a walk.

My schedule happens to be clear.

Okay. Bye, Arlo!

Oh, my goodness.

Hey, don't you have

cheerleading practice today?

No.

Uh, yeah. I mean, yeah.

Uh, thank you for reminding me.

Can't forget your pom-poms.

Come on, let's go!

Let's go.

- Come on.

- I'm going, I'm going.

We're gonna be late again.

Bye, Talia!

Have a good day!

[phone ringing]

They always call

when I'm eating.

[Ernie] Hey, Rose family!

Big Ern here.

Just wanted to see how

you're loving your new house,

and, uh, remind you that

if you need anything,

like lawn pods for storage

or lawn gnomes...

Lunch, lunch, lunch...

to put a smile on the

faces of your princesses,

Big Ern's got 'em.

All you gotta do is dial

1-800-B-I-G-E-R-N-I.

- Whoa! Not you again!

- Hope you're well.

- Oh, man!

- Talk to you later, bye!

Hey, little guy.

[barks]

Ah, down boy! Down!

[grunting]

- Easy, buddy!

- Come on, let me play tag.

I'll show you

where I bury stuff.

[Ilana] So this is the

wall I was telling you about.

Yep. Oh, boy.

Wow, he must work out.

You have a real

pretty house, Ms. Rose.

Thank you, Tommy.

That's very sweet of you.

Have you all decided

on a color yet?

Yeah, I think we're

gonna go with off-white.

Okey-doke.

We were gonna

go with powder blue.

But I think off-white

is more soothing.

- What do you think?

- I reckon.

My husband's a dentist, and all

of his walls are off-white.

So I just, I don't know,

I think it soothes the patients.

Wow, what a smart thing to say.

Well, I guess

I'll see you next week?

Yes, ma'am. At noon.

You betcha.

Won't take more

than a few hours.

Great.

Thank you, Tommy.

It's about time they do

something about that wallpaper.

Bye, Tommy!

[Arlo burps]

Whoa!

- Almost got busted.

- Hello?

Anybody here?

Hello?

What the...?

[sighs]

Oh, what a day, huh, Talia?

Let's hit the streets, Arlo!

[energetic rock music]

I look at everyone

Picture perfect

They think that, oh,

they're so worth it

We walk the streets

in our new blue jeans

We are...

and we're in the scenes

They think that

oh, they're so famous

Drowning in all their faces

They wanna go,

but have no friends

This is not a way to live

But when you think that

You rise up to everyone

Ones that you

don't really know

But when you say that

You're up but

you're just really not

Well we already know

I just don't understand

I look at everyone

in the movies

It's not the life

we know we're to be

They let people

inside their heads

They have the night

but can't pretend

They think that, hey,

we're so different

And living life

in the riches

Spotlight every day

From pain JV the way

But when you think that

you act up to everyone

- Oh.

- Well, well, well.

If it isn't the teacher's pet.

- Leave us alone, Bertha.

- Yeah, beat it Bertha.

Oh, teacher's pet

with her very own pet.

Now isn't that special!

Let me see him.

- No way!

- I just wanna see him.

- Hey!

- [Arlo squeals]

[Arlo] Hey!

Will you chill out?

I just wanna say hello.

- Aren't you a little fatty!

- Speak for yourself.

You're just a little pork

chop fatty, now ain't ya!

All right, now you're

getting personal.

Pork chop fatty,

pork chop fatty,

- pork chop fatty!

- You're squeezing me too tight!

Bertha, I wouldn't

do that if I were you.

- Aren't you a little fatty?

- [Arlo] Hey, come on!

Pork chop fatty,

pork chop fatty!

Bertha, I really wouldn't

do that if I were you.

Pork chop fatty,

pork chop fatty!

[Arlo burps]

[laughing]

- [Arlo] Knockout!

- [birds chirping]

I told you so!

Hmm.

Time for some snacks.

Snacks, snacks, snacks.

Hmm, any up here?

No, huh.

Where are the snacks

in this house?

Hmm.

[gasps]

Who was that?

I definitely just

heard something.

[breathing hard]

- Hi-ya!

- Hello.

[screams]

Mom! Mom!

Mommy! Mom!

[screams]

[gasps] What's going on?

Is someone in the house?

[Jessica]

Yes, there's an intruder!

What, I...

I didn't hear the alarm.

[stammering] There was a rat.

- It was a huge rat.

- [both] A rat?

Yeah, like this big creepy

rat just running after me!

- And it, it burped!

- It burped?

- I'm going back to bed.

- [sighs]

- What, you don't believe me?

- Honey, you gotta calm down.
