Some say it's a job

for Sherlock Gnomes.

Others say

it's a slow news day.

All right, Barbara,

time for bed.

Ugh.

Humans are tiresomely naive.

It is an ornamental crime on a

scale we have never seen before.

This garden alone

lost 10 gnomes today.

Grass, perfectly even.

Soil, undisturbed.

Ant colony, thriving.

- Do you see it, Watson?

- Yes, there are no footprints.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Someone kidnapped all the

gnomes from this backyard

without leaving

a single footprint.

A gnome can dream.

- Benny.

- Aye?

So, have you talked

to the lucky lady yet?

Told your mystery crush

you adore her?

Funny you should say that...

- No.

- Well, why not?

Is she that scary?

Is she? I mean, is she?

She can be.

La vida buena.

Don't work too hard, Mankini.

You've only been lying there

for four days.

Sun's out, buns out!

I'm okay.

Hey, we said that we were gonna plant

these next to the shed, remember?

Yeah, but they look

better there.

Oh, all right. I suppose.

Here. Let me help you

with that.

Whoa, hey!

- I feel sick.

- Me, too.

This garden is still missing something.

Something special.

Oh, I was just thinking that.

Do you know what would

be great? Maybe...

Something that will tie

the whole garden together.

What about

a new centerpiece?

- I'm gonna throw up.

- I've got it.

We need a new centerpiece.

That's exactly

what I just said.

Never mind, great minds

thing alike. Am I right?

Oh, there's so much to do.

I better get started on it.

Awkward.

Don't you worry. I know her.

And she was hanging on

to your every word.

I think he bought it.

Ever since

we took over the garden,

it's like she's not

listening to me anymore.

Eh? Oh, sorry,

I wasn't listening.

But I have got an idea.

You should do

a grand romantic gesture.

Something reckless

and life-threatening.

I've got it!

Go to the zoo

and steal a lion!

Then fight the lion

in front of Juliet.

I am not fighting a lion.

It doesn't have to be a lion.

It could be a tiger.

Or an angry penguin.

I mean,

it's either that or flowers.

Flowers? That's it.

I'll get her our special

flower for the centerpiece.

Nanette, you're a genius.

Oi, Benny, can you give me

a hand with something?

Step into my office.

The previous owners

left a bunch

of amazing electronics

in here.

Ta-da!

Um...

It was on the computer

when I found it.

Yeah, mate.

Yeah, sure it was.

Right. Image search.

All right, type in

"Cupid's Arrow Orchid".

You just have to hit it.

Just click it.

Just click the thing! You don't have

to type the whole sent... All right.

Tell me when you see it.

Tell me when you see it.

That's the one!

First time we met we was
