We're all good to go here.

Miss crawly, no!

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Oopsie-Daisy.

Oh, well, I guess that's

one way to spread the word.

Hey, Lance, look at this.

Ash, babe, hey!

-You make a withdrawal!

-Yeah.

Meena!

--Hey, hey, hey!

What do you think you...?

Uh-huh. Yeah.

Ow. Mmm.

Ah.

Let's go to work.

And cue the crazy old lizard.

Good morning, Mr. moon.

Indeed it is, miss crawly.

Top of the morning to you.

I made you some coffee.

You did? Where is it?

Oh, I got a little thirsty

on the way up those stairs.

-Shall I go open the doors now?

-The doors?

Well, you've got a lot

of animals waiting in line

to audition, Mr. moon.

I do?

Holy moly, I really do.

I swear to you, Eddie,

this is no joke.

Look, just get down here

and see for yourself.

I gotta go.

This is it, miss crawly.

Get your scaly tail downstairs

and throw those doors open wide.

Okay, uh, one at a time, please.

Calm down.

Bye-bye, caspar.

Phew!

Uh, let's hear from a few more

of the folks in line.

-What about you, sir?

-Well, Bob, I'm a lab technician

for a leading

pharmaceutical company,

but I was born with a gift.

And that gift is to sing.

Oi, dad. Just going out.

Well, don't be long.

I got the gang coming over.

Well, look, I mean,

I'm sure you're gonna get a lot

of namby-pamby animals in here

saying things like,

"oh, it's not winning.

It's the taking part

that counts."

Yeah, yeah. Not me, pal.

I'm here to win.

That prize, it's mine.

Wow! Thank you, Johnny.

Okay, next up,

-we have meena.

-Good luck out there.

All right, come on. Here we go.

Come on, you can do it.

You can do it. Okay...

Oh, I'm s...

Oh, I'm sorry. Uh...

Okay. Hey, it's all right.

You know, it's all right.

Take it away, meena.

Uh... okay. Uh...

-Mmm... um...

-Anytime, now.

Uh...

Do you want to start over?

-Um... uh...

-All right, enough of that.

That's quite enough of that.

That's it. Come on.

Off the stage, Helga.

Go on. You're useless.

Thanks.

Right. Here we go.

Hit it!

Okay, that's everyone, Mr. moon.

Whew!

All right, call everyone

back to stage, miss crawly,

and let's get...

--Hello! -Ooh.

Uh, can I have everybody back

to stage, please?

Everyone come back to stage

for selection.

Okay.

Thank you, miss crawly.

- You're welcome, Mr. moon.

All right.

- Let's see, now.

Hmm.

I'll take...

-You guys.

-Yes!

And which one of you

is the girl?

Ha ha. Very funny.

"Loud and horrible,

but shows promise."

Welcome to the show.

Cool.

I guess we could hang.

No, no.

I just want her, not you.
