the Principal's office, young lady.

But that's my mom's gold...

And if we don't get

to our home room,

we'll find ourselves

at the Principal's office.

Nicole. What have we there?

Nothing.

Hand it over.

I can't.

It doesn't belong to me.

That's all the more reason.

Let's see it.

Yes?

We were saying?

We wish...

I wish...

We... wish... what?

leave me alone,

leave all of us alone and stop

breathing your camel breath on us

and go back to your cage

where you belong.

Him?

Ah, yeah. Um...

Haven't you read... you know,

'The Secret Life of Plants'?

Trees are people too.

better off in a woodchipper.

Whoa!

Hey, Tom!

(Chuckles)

Oh!

Have a nice trip? (Laughs)

What are you looking at?

Let's go.

Oooh. Have they gone?

(Laughs)

You made it.

Some place you got here,

this human world.

How did you find me?

I let my branches do the walking.

Luckily there's only one Bucks

in the phone book

else I'd be walking all day.

Oooh!

Not that pile of rocks again.

Just what I need.

Now we go home?

Oh! Oh! Ah! Oh! Ow!

Oh, no!

There's no floor!

There's no bathroom here!

I've got to go!

Ohhhhhhh!

Bastion... there's a package

here for you.

And there seems to be something -

I don't know how to say this -

speaking inside.

Help us!

Oh, um...

(Gnomes wail)

...this must be... er...

the parrot... I sent for.

Um... by the way,

Er... she called to say

she went to the mall.
