Thanks.

Happy inventing!

We're gonna have to get used

to that landing.

Okay, Steve, we have six months

until the vesting ceremony.

Let's do this thing.

Can.

That's the spirit, Steve!

Say goodbye

to ice cubes

with the Re-Freeze-a-Fan!

Can your ideas change the world?

The Forkenknifenspooninator!

Can your ideas

change the world?

The Grocery Deliverator!

Whoa!

Can your ideas change the world?

Invisible coffee table!

Ah!

Flint.

Can your ideas

change the world?

Flint!

The Celebrationator!

A party in a box

for any occasion.

Okay, Steve,

time to celebrate!

Celebrate!

Flint!

Happy birthday, Tim Lockwood!

Here you go, Dad. Hope you like it.

Steve picked it out.

Steve!

Yeah. Yeah!

Okay, like we practiced.

When I'm up on stage getting my vest,

you hit the red button

when I say "celebrate."

Celebrate!

Whoa. Careful, Steve!

- This is a loaded party-in-a-box.

- Hello, Team Live Corp!

It's a pleasure to welcome you

to our annual Thinkquanaut

vesting ceremony!

Whoo! Chester V!

Ha, ha, ha.

I have built the coolest, hippest

company in the world.

As you all know, the Food Bar

is the lifeblood of this company.

And this year, I've challenged myself

to reinvent taste. Ooh.

So in two short weeks,

we shall release the new

Live Corp Food Bar!

Version 8.0!

- Yes!

- And now, without

further ado, who will be this year's

newest Live Corp

Thinkquanaut?

Oh, ho, ho! Yeah!

We have received thousands

of invention submissions

and today, one of them

will be deemed

Thinkquanaut-worthy.

Thank you, Barb.

Whoo!

This person comes

from an island.

Ohh. Uh-huh!

He's got a memorable

mop of unruly hair.

Hair. Hair!

Ha, ha, ha! That's me!

Our newest Live Corp

Thinkquanaut is:

Flint--

Yeah!

--ly McCallahan!

No.

Crikey blikey! Yes!

For inventing

a zero-emission car

that runs on cute.

This is the greatest

day of my life!

Didgeridoo!

I'm finally a real inventor!

Sorry, Steve.

No reason to celebrate.

Celebrate!

Wait, Steve, no, no, no. No!

He's a real baboon

He's a real baboon

The inventor walks home

His confidence shaken

He is sad and alone

So he calls up a friend

Hi, Sam, it's Flint.

I see you're live on TV

with a tornado.

Probably why you're not

answering the phone.

Thinkquanaut?

I think not.

Ugh. Please call me back.

Okay. Bye!

Bad news!

Sir, we lost contact

with Search Teams X and Y.

What?

Yeah!

The situation is

grim, sir. Still no sign

of the FLDSMDFR.

Should I send in Team Z?

Are you mad, Barb?

We'll be all out of alphabet.

Look, we're running low

on Thinkquanauts. We need

someone expendable.

Someone who knows the island

inside and out.

Someone who's smart, but still naive.

Someone who idolizes me,

has recently hit rock bottom

and will now do

just about anything I ask.

Where are we gonna find

someone so desperate?

I think we already have.

Sprinkles!

Fire!

Flint, who's number one? Oh.

Ta-da.

Hey, Flint, I got your message!

Oh, no, what happened to you?

Flint, everyone gets humiliated

on national television.

It's not that big a deal.

Yeah, but not everyone

gets humiliated

in front of their childhood hero.

I'll never be a real inventor

in Chester's eyes.

Mom gave me this lab coat because

she always dreamed

I'd do great things.

Now I guess I won't.

Now that's a big bucket of churn.

Flint, you don't need

Chester's approval.

You can still make

the world a better place

without an orange vest.

I don't get vests.

Is it winter on your torso

and summer on your arms?

For what it's worth, the people

who really care about you

think you look great

in your lab coat.

Good night, Mr. Lockwood.

Good night, my dear.

Hey, look, son.

This Chester V guy.

He promised us we'd be home

before we know it. Well,

we darn sure know it

and we're not home.

So I say you,

me and your friends,

we take the boat.

We can go fishing every day.

And if there's still a mess on the

island, we can go clean it up ourselves.

Dad, please.

I'm not into fishing.

And cleanup? You're way too old

to be doing that kind of work.

I'm only 49.

Flint Lockwood, please.

Oh, Flint. Um...

There's. Could you

come to the door, please?

I think it's that monkey

in your poster.

What? No!

Ahh!

Barb?

Shh.

Good day.

I'm afraid I have something

very important to discuss

with you.

Live Corp.

Chester V wants to see me?

Follow me.

Whoa.

Ah. Young Lockwood.

Chester V. Sir.

I can explain everything.

I thought I was gonna meet

the real Chester V.

You are.

Oh, not me.

Him.

Yes, it's me.

Sorry about that.

My holograms and I were having

an urgent brainstorming session.

Aah! Mr. V!

You're real!

I'm so excited to get this opportunity

to show you my inventions.

Hold on. Hold on. That's not

why I brought you here tonight.

Our cleanup operation

back on Swallow Falls

has met with

unexpected complications.

This is a photograph

before we began our cleanup.

And this was three days ago.

It gets worse, Flint.

There's only two of us left.

We need help.

What is that thing?

Cheesy.

It appears to be

a living cheeseburger

with french fry legs

and sesame seed eyes.

Living food?

Oh, no. This could

only mean one thing.

The FLDSMDFR

survived the explosion,

and it's still operating.

This is what worries me most.

They're trying to learn to swim.

If they succeed and

get to the mainland,

they will destroy monuments

all around the world

including the one monument

your food storm didn't destroy.

Not Lady Liberty! I've gotta destroy

the FLDSMDFR. But how?

Well, my Thinkquanauts have invented

this.

The BS-USB.

Or BSUSB.

A Bifurcating Systematic

Universal Stop Button!

Precisely. It would

destroy the machine

and everything it created.

But we cannot find your FLDSMDFR.

We've searched everywhere

and failed.

Chester, I'll find the machine.

I invented it. I can fix this!

Brilliant!

But are you sure you want

to take this on alone?

Yes!

Wait, did you say "alone"?

Alone it is, then.

If you succeed, you'll be more

than just a Thinkquanaut.

You'll be my hero.

Your hero?

Yes, my hero.

Your mission must

be kept a secret.

We don't wanna create

a worldwide panic.

You mustn't tell anyone, not even

your closest friends and family.

Sir, I won't tell a soul.

Sam! Sam, Sam, Sam!

I gotta tell you a secret! Sam!

Big news. I'm going to Swallow Falls

to destroy the FLDSMDFR,

which is creating

deadly food monsters,

which are trying to learn to swim

so they can attack Lady Liberty!

Sam?

Wait, you're doing this alone?

Yeah. Please don't tell Dad. if he finds

out I'm going back to Swallow Falls,

he's gonna wanna come too.
