Hey, everybody!

What's happening?

How'd you get here?

Ooh! Look at this fancy kitchen.

You know, Mama never had

one of these

with the electronic numbers.

We always

had to turn the knobs...

Let's get him!

...wait for the little ding...

If I were you...

I wouldn't come any closer.

Get him.

Get him!

Come on, guys.

Let's go! Let's go!

♪ Oh... ♪

Ooh!

♪ Oh, oh. ♪

Mm-mm.

Go! Around

the other way!

All right, punk...

the game is over.

Yeah. Your game is over,

because right now,

my man Ed

is on his way down

to the police station

with a can

of your illegal triambythal.

Ha!

Hey, Dex, got it! Huh.

Get it!

Give me that.

Oh!

Nice try, dudes,

but you mess with Kurt,

and you go in the grinder.

Here you go, boss.

Thanks, Holmes.

This can's empty.

What an idiot.

Stole an empty can.

Ed, you stole a empty can?!

It wasn't empty when

I found it. Huh.

Oh...

Hey!

What's going on?

I don't know.

The kitchen! Go!

Come on!

Come on.

Come on, Ed, let's go!

Grill! We got to

stop the grill!

Oh...

Let's get out of here!

Must be a shift change.

Huh?

Why?

Why?

What have I done?

What,

are you going to put cuffs on me, huh?

Wha...?

Relax, sir, it's

going to be okay.

You tell me if these

are too tight, all right?

You don't understand!

But none of this

is my fault, okay?

I mean...

I don't know.

Hey, let's go

help him out. Huh.

Let's.

Listen,

I can explain everything.

This is all just a

big misunderstanding.

I don't understand.

I don't know what happened.

Oh, sure you do.

Why don't you go on ahead

and tell

your little police friend

that you made

your big Beefy Burgers

all big and beefy

by using illegal

food additives.

Is that true?

No! He's lying!

You're lying!

You're full

of crap!

Yeah? Well, why don't

we just check these out,

and we'll see who's lying.

I think you better

come with us.

Man, you're out

of your minds.

You're crazy, man!

You know who I am? Huh?

Yeah, I know,

I know.

Bye-bye.

Hey, hey,

remember:

when you mess

with Good Burger...

you go in the grinder!

Oh, dog,

you enjoy prison now.

Excuse me for a second.

Huh.

Mr. Wheat,

I can't, I can't...

I can fix it.

I can fix it.

...have a couple

words for...

I can fix it.

I can fix it. Uh!

Uh, Mr. Wheat?

I don't have

a lot of time,

but I do got a

couple words for you.

Look here.

Here's about half

of the money

that I owe you

for your car,

and I guess I'll

have the other half

by the end of the summer.

You enjoy your car!

Bye-bye, now.

I'll give you some money.

Help me out!

Man, just help me

get the burger off.

Ooh-hoo, come on, Ed.

Huh.

So, you poured that stuff

in that meat, didn't you?

Huh, I had to.

You had to?

Sure. See, I knew

if I took the can,

there was a good chance

I'd get caught. Huh.

Then I thought,

even if I did take

the triambythal to

the proper authorities,

huh, Kurt would hire some

high-powered attorneys

who would dispute

any charges

brought against him

or Mondo Burger,

by manipulating

the legal system.

And the way that

America's court system

is congested these days,

it would have taken months

to convict him of anything.

So then I thought,

I'll take matters

into my own hands

and just pour

the triambythal

into the meat supply

and let Mondo Burger

be a victim of

its own foul play.

Ha! Huh!

Oh, wait-wait-

wait-wait.

You thought of all that?

Yeah, sure.

I'm not stupid. Huh.

Huh.

Well, look, Ed,

about this contract, man,

what do you say we just...

forget it?

Wait, y-you don't

want to be partners?

Well, no.

See...

Is it because I'm black?

No, it's not because

you're...

'cause I'm...

All right, look, forget it.

All right,

we can be partners,

but the money is yours,

all right?

All of it.

So, we're still buddies?

Oh, you know it.

Cool. Huh.

Um, Dexter?

Huh?

I-I just want to

say that, well,

I'm really going

to miss you...

a lot.

And, um... I will

always remember you,

Dexter Reed,

in my thoughts

and in my heart.

Good-bye, my friend!

Uh, Ed?

Um, Ed?

I'm not going anywhere, man.

Oh.

♪ Oh... oh... oh... ♪

That's right, baby, yeah!

Here come the heroes!

Let's hear it for the man

who saved Good

Burger, huh? Yeah!

Go, Ed!

Oh!

Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed...

What? What? What? What? What?

Come on, what? Come on.

Come on.

Aw... aw!

Speech, speech...

Yeah, speech!

Yeah, come on, Ed,

say something.

Well, I guess there's

only way thing left to say:

Huh.

: Welcome to Good Burger,

home of the Good Burger.

Can I take your order?
