Take me to your yeast factory.

I am your soldier.

I know

you like wearing your dad's old clothes,

but while you were at Cletus Fest,

I got you some new shoes.

Only $5, clearance sale at Haymart.

These are girls' shoes, Mom.

Oh, shoot.

I thought they were skipper shoes.

How about some good news?

I got really inspired about my collection,

and I came up with a bunch of new designs.

Do you mind if I run a few of them by you?

Okay.

I've changed the name of my collection

to Decent Beginnings.

I liked it 'cause I thought

it had a wholesome ring,

but I was hoping

it could appeal to a younger market.

Now, my first one is called Front Pew.

Now what I did was I extended

the hemline down like that,

so it brings the attention

back up to the eyes.

And this one, it's breakfast-inspired.

It's called Simply Cinnamon.

I'm gonna make it out of some beach

towels with some burlap fringe.

This one is called Righteous Dew.

Your father would've just loved this one.

This one's called Reachable Dream,

because all of our dreams are reachable,

Benjy, even yours.

Hi. Welcome to LeVonne's.

Can I look at that salmon gown?

Certainly.

This is a very practical design from

LeVonne's new Sunset Plains edition.

Well, how much is it?

This treasure right here

is on sale today for $79.95.

Well, that's a rip-off.

Hey. What are you guys doing here?

Lonnie's stepsister runs

the Navajo Taco stand.

They make a really good taco.

So, I noticed you left Cletus early.

Yeah, I had to come back and

help my mom with the trade show.

When do we get our manuscripts back?

Well, we got ours at the end of camp.

Maybe they'll mail yours.

But don't you have another copy?

Because I really think Lonnie should read it.

He has connections

in the audiovisual industry.

He might know someone

that could help get you published.

Are you serious?

Mmm.

Well, it was so nice

to see you, Benjamin. Bye.

Oh, okay.

Yes.

Bronco.

I can do better.

Broncanuss.

Broncaho.

Not quite.

Brutus.

Forgive me.

Cyclops there.

Cyclops there.

Brutus and Venonka surveyed

the yeast factory,

looking for an Achilles'heel

There was none

Cyclops there. Cyclops there.

Cyclops there.

Turrets.

Moon buggies.

Oh, my holy crap.

Surveillance does.

I hate those.

This is ridiculous. That's the most

well-guarded yeast factory I've ever seen.

Kenonka. Kenonka.

Show me your bag of secrets.

What's all this crap?

I thought you said he was good at making

bombs and robots and stuff.

What I meant to say was

he likes collecting things.

What's he doing now?

I don't know.

He must have found something.

(SIGHS) I'm not seeing it.

I'm not seeing results.

All I see is a bunch of organic waste.

What did he find, the genius?

Wait a sec.

Well, it's not a clean yeast.

It's just a fungus beef

sharing a few yeast-like properties.

'Tis ripe and delicious, though.

Watch this.

All right, let's give it a little test.

Not bad.

It's pretty good yeast.

This isn't bad.

This is pretty good.

It's not concentrate,

but it's pretty darn good.

Ha ha, whoopee!

I like it.

I like it.

Hey, Benjamin, come here.

I want you to meet someone.

Benjamin.

I want you to meet Dusty,

your new Guardian Angel.

What?

Well, I noticed you didn't have any friends,

so I signed you up

for the Guardian Angel program at church.

I thought maybe you two could go out

in the back and get to know each other

while I grill up some cod.

Oh, my word.

That's all right.

Maybe I have some paper towel.

Oh, my goodness.

Your mom's smoking hot.

What?

Shh!

What is that?

It's rat poison and some of my poo.

Sick. Is it lethal?

No. I don't know. Maybe.

Here, you try it.

I can't.

Dude, it's the circle of life. Go for it.

Centaur lover

Centaur lover

Chevalier.

- Ronald, it's Merve

- Yes?

I don't know where this came from,

but it's fantastic

Really? You like it?

I haven't even finished reading it,

I've already approved it for print

That's amazing.

I mean, it's a little jarring in places,

but I think it's gonna sell really well

Are you sure, Merve?

I've just completed the cover art

for Star Bracelets

No, no, no, I want you to start doing

preliminary sketches

of Brutus and his dog, Balzaak

Yes. Yes, I'll get right on it.

You're back to your old self

Congratulations, Ronald

- Thank you, Merve.

- No, thank you

- Mom.

- What?

You're not bleeding, it's just water.

What?

My gelee insert.

You're gonna be okay.

Hello?

May I please speak

to Mr Benjamin Purvis?

Tabatha?

I'm calling you on behalf of Donaho Studios

Lonnie thinks he wants

to produce Yeast Lords

Are you serious?

He wants to make it into a movie?

Mmm-hmm. It's gonna be

our next major motion picture.

We'd like for you to come down

to Donaho Studios to discuss.

Also, could you play a role in the movie

that we're shooting right now?

The sooner we finish it,

the sooner that we can start yours.

Yeah.

Yeah, totally. I'd be honored.

What's it about?

It's a romantic story I wrote.

You would be perfect.

And also, since your mom

works for LeVonne's,

do you think you could

bring some nightgowns?

'Cause we are in desperate need

of sexy nightwear.

That's fine. Yeah, I could do that.

Okay, great. So, we'll see you soon.

And congratulations, Benjamin.

This is a very big deal.

Are these the nighties?

Yeah. We have to be really careful

with them, though.

Hey, Lonnie, what are my lines?

Okay, guys,

we've just got two more scenes,

and then this trailer will be done.

Headphone, please.

And...

Action.

Mmm. You like?

Cut!

Lonnie! You can't do that.

That's an $80 Don Carlos.

Excuse me?

I don't even think

we were supposed to take the tags off.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I can't do this.

This movie's gonna suck.

Benjamin.

No, Benjamin, wait, I'm sorry.

Look, it was Lonnie's idea, not mine.

And I'll have my people restore it

with scrap linens.

Tabatha, me and my mom are

gonna be out, like, 100 bucks now.

We can't afford that.

Benjamin, look,

Lonnie has come into

some serious cash lately.

What does that mean?

Benjamin, Lonnie wants

to pay you for Yeast Lords

Are you serious?

I'm dead serious.

Yeast Lords is amazing,

and it is definitely worth

at least a couple hundred bucks.

Hey, Lonnie?

Tell him how much you're willing to pay.

What's wrong?

These guys owe you some money?

No.

Who's that guy?

He's my Angel.

Nice.

So, do we have a deal or what?

Yeah.

Hi, guys.

Did you catch any neat rocks?

Yeah. It was fun.

How about you, Duster?

What?

Bronco and Vanaya

began their assault on the yeast factory,

but the yeast patty Bronco had previously

eaten started to make him feel like crap

Bronco!

We must stop that gunfire

before it kills Lord Bronco.

Well, find something, Kanaya, anything.

Well, not that, you idiot.

That's just an old pudding.

Bronco. Are you all right?

What happened?

The fungus beef,

it's poisoned your spine juice.

We must get you out of here.

I can't move.
