Oh, okay.

Oh, I-I guess

I'll see you later then.

Guess you will.

Yo, man, who was that?

She is all that.

All what?

N-Never mind.

So, tell me,

what am I going

to be making my

deliveries in?

A van, a truck?

♪ Feel my desire. ♪

There she is--

the Burger Mobile. Huh.

Think you can handle her?

I don't know.

I never driven

a sandwich before.

Ha. Huh.

Come on, I'll take

you for a spin.

A'ight.

Huh.

Now, uh,

you can drive, right?

I mean, you can read

all the signs and stuff?

Yeah! Now this is what

I call fast food! Huh!

Whoa, whoa!

Hey, look out for..!

That was a stop sign!

Uh... no.

Oh, man.

Watch out for the...!

Whoa!

Hey! Hey!

Get back here!

Closing time at last.

All right, let me see.

five days a week.

I should be able to pay off

the car in, uh...

Oh, another lifetime!

Man! This place

is the most nauseating,

pathetic hole I

have ever seen.

I mean, what kind

of diseased maggot

would even consider eating here?

Welcome to Good Burger,

home of the Good Burger.

Can I take your order? Huh.

Check it, boys.

Right back there.

It's the reject.

Hey, check it, Ed.

It's the Mondo idiot!

Oh, well, nice to meet you,

Mondo Idiot.

I'm Ed. Huh.

Well, Ed, you better watch

your butt, man.

Okay.

Look, you got a purpose

for being here?

Yeah, I do.

I just thought you

Good Burger losers

should be aware

that tonight is the grand

opening of Mondo Burger.

The second we open

our doors, Good Burger

goes in the grinder.

Again with this grinder.

Look, man,

you either order something,

or you can get out of here.

Yeah. Sure.

You can take

my order.

I'll have the very last

Good Burger to go.

Oh, I give up.

There is no way a guy can

watch his own butt. Oh!

Yeah!

Is everybody liking my party?!

And now...

I'm psyched to present

to you people,

Mondo Burger!

And now, people,

welcome to Mondo Burger.

Um, Mr. Baily.

Since we don't have any

customers, or electricity...

Yeah, yeah.

I suppose we should all just,

uh, go on home.

Looks like Good Burger closed early tonight.

Yep. And it think pretty soon,

they'll be closed for good.

A Mondo Burger.

Now, don't get

all excitable.

Holy Mackerel.

It's huge.

Look at that.

And I don't know how they do it,

but they charge the same amount

as we do

for a Good Burger.

Whoa.

How do they do it?

They just

use more meat.

Oh, poor cows.

Hey, Spatch.

Hand me a Good Burger.

Huh.

They sound similar.

Come on,

what was our take today?

That's it?!

Oh...

I suppose I can always feed

my mother cat food.

Now probably wouldn't

be the best time

to ask for a raise?

No!

I'm going home.

Good night, people.

Good night,

Mr. Baily.

So, Monique, what are you

going to do tonight

after you lock up?

I thought I'd go home.

Home? Why?

Well, that's where my stuff is.

Stuff. Ha, ha, ha.

Hey, Dex.

Want to hang out tonight?

I don't know, but--

Hey Ed, you better be careful.

You!

Me?

Now I know

where I saw you before.

You're the roller-blading nut

that caused my accident.

Uh... no?

You're the reason

You're the reason

my mom found out

I was driving without a license.

Man, you cost me a fortune.

You wrecked my

summer, man.

You ruined my life.

So, you don't want

to hang out tonight?

No. I don't want to

hang out with you...

ever.

Do you think

you can get me to a hospital?

I think I broke my ass.

Come on, Otis.

Get out of the way.

Oh, man.

Ah, Mr. Reed.

Hard at work as usual.

I'm having my lunch.

Well, I just got my car back

from the body shop,

and I got to admit,

good as new.

Here's the receipt.

No!

The estimate was only

Well, that my young brother,

is why they call it an estimate.

Close to, kind of, could be.

And I estimate

it'll take you

about two and half months

to get me my money.

Now, you have a good day

at work.

I'm going to have lunch

at Mondo Burger.

Home of the Big Booty Burger.

Home of the Big

Booty Burger.

Oh, man.

Mind if I sit here?

Yes, I do mind.

Uh, thanks.

What-what-what

are you doing?

Eating my lunch.

I told you not

to sit here.

I don't like you.

Can't you get that

through your head?

I can try.

Hmm.

Nope.

All right,

I see, I'm going

to have to spell

this out for you.

I don't want to sit by you.

I don't want to see you.

I don't want to smell you.

I don't want

to hang out with you.

I don't even want to use words

with the letter \"U.\"

I'm talking about the sauce.

What's in the sauce?

Ed's ingredients.

He made it himself.

Ed?

Excellent.

It's awesome.

It makes me glad

I'm not dead.

Ed!

If we put that sauce

on all the Good Burgers,

then everyone will

want to eat here.

We'll knock Mondo Burger

right off the map.

Whee! That's great.

Yeah!

It's true.

Ed, get in that kitchen

and start making sauce.

Yippee skippy!

It shall be done.

Don't let us down.

Get me another

French fry.

Good Burger's back in business.

Yeah!
