Come on! Stop it!

Quiet, quiet!

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!

Welcome, everyone,

to this monthly safety meeting.

Well, there goes Jerry.

I'm going to

hand things over to Chet, now,

who has some important

new policies to go over.

Thank you very much, Carl.

Good afternoon, everyone.

I'm happy to "poli-see"

you all here today.

Okay. I would like to begin

with some very exciting news.

The latest figures are in.

Accidental smushes were down 15 percent.

Well done, team.

Yo, yo! You're listening to 98.6

where hip-hop... beats.

Finally.

Huh?!

What in the...

Help!

Stop! Stop, stop!

Mom!

Yeah!

Oh, no!

And so, in preparation for

Crow Awareness Week,

I'd just like to say...

Tuck and roll!

No, I'm not kidding! Tuck and roll!

Look out!

Granted, yes,

I admit that there's been

a wee bit of damage to inventory, here,

but if you'd just let me explain...

You're fired!

Whoa, okay, Carl,

if you just give him one more chance,

I promise that this will never, ever...

You don't understand.

You're fired.

"You," plural.

Youse. Y'all. Both of you!

Chet. I'm so sorry.

You have to believe me,

I didn't mean for this to...

All my life.

All my life,

I've defended you, covered for you,

stood up for you, apologized for you,

and this is what I get in return.

Dragged down with you

on your sinking ship.

A nice, comfy deck chair

on the S.S. Theo!

Aye-aye, Captain!

I'm really sorry.

What is wrong with you?!

I don't know.

All I know is, the other night,

I'm standing above the 101,

and all of a sudden...

It was a rhetorical question!

Chet!

Help! The world is moving!

Coming through!

Okay, I'm gonna wake up any minute now.

Wake up! Wake up!

Chet?

Easy now, fellas.

You really don't wanna do this.

Chet!

Am I dead? Is this heaven?

I pictured it cleaner.

Come on, get up.

Theo. The crows got you, too.

What? No, Chet, it wasn't the crows.

It was...

Look at this place.

-Broken glass, rusty nails.

-Breathe.

-Discarded salt packets?!

-A few, yeah.

It's like a minefield out here.

Oh, no.

I've got tetanus. I've got tetanus.

My jaw is locking up.

Chet, will you calm down?

There is no reason to panic.

Everything's gonna be just fine.

Well, well, well.

Buenas noches, little amigos.

This must be my lucky day.

Hola. It's Tito.

Hey, tell everyone I'm bringing it.

What is this place?

Well, well, well.

Somebody better call the cops,

because I'm about to make a killing.

Killing?

What'd he drag in this time?

Whiplash is going to eat them up.

It's gonna be a slaughter.

Mm-hmm, dead meat.

We're gonna die. We're gonna die.

Come on, come on. Now, hurry up.

A little far from home aren't you,

garden snail?

Hey, I think we got a crier here.

Let's do this!

I got this one! Oh, I got this one!

Yeah. Yeah, yeah!

Come on! This is me!

Time to go, Theo.

Ready...

Set...

Go!

Look. He dead.

Taco Man found dead snail.

What?

Run!

Santa Maria!

What did you say your name was again?

My name is Turbo.

I wish I could rename myself.

Where did you find him?

How did he do that?

Where did you come from?

Hey, how'd you do that?

Theo. A word, please.

Okay, that was...

Amazing, right?

If you think that's something,

check this out.

Turn it off!

Sorry. High beams. Sorry.

That's a new one.

It's okay, it's okay, Theo.

Just hang in there.

As soon as we get home,

we're gonna get you fixed.

What? I don't need to be fixed.

There's nothing wrong with me, Chet.

Nothing wrong with you?! Well, you're...

You're a freak of nature.

I know, I know! Isn't it great?

Theo!

You know what? I prefer "Turbo."

I don't know

what crazy lab you escaped from

but you're amazing, Little Amigo.

Amazing!

Tito!

One second, please.

Do you see that sign? What does it say?

Angelo...

It says, "Dos Bros Tacos."

"Dos" Bros, Tito. Not "Uno" Bro.

You're supposed to be out there,

selling tacos,

not racing snails.

I know, but this little guy

is something special.

I'm telling you, Angelo,

the customers are gonna be lining up

around the block.

I can see it already.

"Come for the snail racing,

stay for the chimichangas."

Get your head out of the clouds, Tito.

It's enough with your crazy schemes.

No! You're a taco genius, Angelo.

And it is my mission in life

to share your gift with the world.

Great.

Then first thing in the morning,

get in that truck

and go sell some tacos.

Tito.

You sure you had enough to eat?

Are you tired?

Here, I made up your bed.

Now, it might get

a little chilly tonight.

So, I warmed up your blanket.

There you go. All comfy and cozy.

Sweet dreams, Little Amigo.

I'll see you in the morning.

Did he really just kiss you goodnight?

He did. Jealous?

Question.

What gives with the super-speed?

Hey, hey, you a robot?

Are you radioactive, homie?

Is it contagious?

Give the kid some space.

I'm Whiplash. And this here is my crew.

I'm Skidmark!

Ah, yeah!

And I'm Burn. Sizzle, sizzle, uh-uh.

The name is Smoove Move.

I set the tone around here, you dig?

Now check this. Right about now,

I'm moving so fast, the whole world's

going in slow motion, baby.

Here one second, gone the next.

They call me the White Shadow!

Because I'm so fast,

all you see is my shadow.

I don't get it.

I'm fast, like a shadow!

Yeah, but shadows,

they're not inherently fast.

White Shadow...

I can still see you.

Listen, garden snail, you clearly

got the skills to pay the bills.

If snails had to pay bills, that is.

You would be able to pay them.

Yeah, bills.

Paid in full, son.

So, I'm here to invite you

to join our crew.

Join your crew?

Did I say something humorous?

I'm sorry.

It's just that you guys are, you know,

kind of slow-ish.

Really? To our faces?

Theo, what are you doing?

Now, I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear

what I clearly just heard.

Heard what? I didn't hear anything.

Nothing out of order, did you, Theo?

I meant what I said.

Then you better put your money

where your mouth is.

Snails don't have money.

Otherwise, we'd be able to

pay the bills. Remember?

Your trash talk

is needlessly complicated.

Is it? Or is it that your unpaid bills

are overdue?

Enough talk. It's time for action.

It's simple. First one to the top

of that shooting star

wins.

You guys? Way up there, huh? Awesome.

Let me get my calendar

so I can time you.

You got jokes, rookie?

Laugh it up, garden snail.

On your mark...

Get yourself set...

Prepare to be White Shadowed!

Whoa!

Yeah!

Yeah! Bam!

Coming through!

Those guys are crazy!

Those guys are awesome.

Hey, player! The party up here!

How do I get up there?

Later!

Coming through!

Yeah!

Who's "slow-ish" now, garden snail?

Today, everything changes!

Tito, what are you doing?

Planning a "taco-volution"!

It's a little concept that I came up with.

When you combine the words...

"Taco" and "revolution." I get it.

But how is that supposed
