So they said I couldn't remove my thumb but look at that.
Whoop.
You sliced it off! You sliced off your own thumb!
(LAUGHS) You make doing homework actually fun.
And they say humans can't do magic.
Luz... (GRUNTS) You've been talking to them all morning.
Don't forget about The Luz and King Comedy Hour.
Please, no. Not the comedy hour.
This week I've been working with props.
Oh. dear. I've gotten a tube stuck on my nose.
Will I ever eat again?
-Looks like I'm toast. -(LAUGHS)
It just goes on like this for an hour.
Hey, you doughboy. Quit loafing around.
Why don't you bake me?
-(BOTH LAUGHING) -(BEEPING)
School time. See you guys in class.
-Bye. -But what about the thumb?
-(SIGHS) -Hey, don't worry.
We'll finish our comedy hour when I get home. Mwah.
(GIGGLES) Oh, you.
Try not to miss me while I'm gone.
(GRUNTS)
You... You really think she's coming back this time?
Yes, she'll be back. She always comes back.
It's cute you miss her though.
The King of Demons... (GRUNTS)
The King of Demons misses nobody.
I wouldn't care if she came through this door right now. (GRUNTS)
-Hey, you're... -You're back!
(GRUNTS) I didn't miss you at all.
Apparently there's an infestation of pixies at Hexside,
so school's been canceled.
That sounds like a crumby situation.
(BOTH LAUGHS)
Hey, guess what's been in my mouth that I'm about to throw up?
(RETCHING)
The mail!
Junk, junk. Death-hex.
Oh, a carnival's in town today.
A carnival? You know, I've been so busy with school lately
what do you say we take this comedy hour on tour?
It'll be a Luz and King day.
That's my kind of day.
Let's all three of us go.
An adventure with friends.
I'll go pack my stuff.
Carnivals bring crowds and crowds bring suckers.
This could be the perfect chance to try out my new get-witch-quick scheme.
I'm in. To the carnival!
BOTH: To the carnival!
Good news. I'm bringing my knapsack full of games.
Hello?
-(BUZZING) -Oh, a fly!
Talk to me! Talk to me!
(OPENING THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
Well, here we are, kids. Look at all that fresh meat.
-(BUZZING) -(SMACKING)
And smell all the fresh meat.
-(SNIFFS) -(BUZZING)
(COUGHS)
Fun.
(HOOTS)
No games for you, Owlbert. We've got scams to run.
(HOOTS)
-Friends, welcome! -(ALL GASP)
I see you got my postcard.
Tibbles, you sent this?
Mmm-hmm.
Aren't you mad at us for destroying your stand?
Oh, and destroying his life. That was the best part.
No, no, no. I should thank you.
After my stand was destroyed,
I reevaluated my life and found my true calling.
I'm now ringmaster of...
Tibbles's Tent of Tiny Terrors.
Aw! It's like a regular circus, but adorably small.
-(SNARLS) -You're my friends now.
I don't buy it.
What kind of con are you running?
No cons here, Owl Lady. Only pros.
In fact, why don't we toast our newfound friendship
with this totally innocent bottle of water?
Oh, yeah, sure. Why don't I just...
-(GRUNTS) -(GROANS)
I'm okay.
I know poison when I see it. You can't scam a scammer.
Now speaking of scams...
Beat it, loser!
(CLATTERING)
Step right up to...
Eda's Human Horror House.
Humans shed their skin and I've got proof.
You should really put a lock on your closet.
You know what, Eda can pick through my socks all she wants.
Because today is all about having a great time
with my partner in crime.
That's me. I love crime.
(BOTH GIGGLING)
Have a good time, friends...
While it lasts.
Dunk the skeleton. Win a prize!
Aah. I'm covered in pores!
Now this is my kinda weird. So, what do you wanna do first?
We could brave the molar coaster or eat a mysterious blob...
Ooh, what's that? (GRUNTS)
Huh. Some kind of deadly string weapon.
No, silly. That's a friendship bracelet.
Is that a type of deadly weapon?
A weapon of love.
It's basically a declaration to the whole world
that you're the best of friends.
Oh-oh. That's way safer than becoming blood brothers.
Luz, we must have those bracelets!
And... Yoink.
Sorry, ma'am. If your bone son wants these bracelets
you have to play the games and win the tickets.
You know, carnival rules.
Beat up the man and steal his things for me.
Or let's just play the games.
Oh, okay.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
BOTH: Games! Games! Games!
-(GASPS) Friends! -Hey, Luz.
Oh, my gosh. I didn't think I'd see carniv-y'all here.
-Boo. -I got an invitation from Tibbles.
We figured it's a trap since we squashed his stand with a walking house.
But who cares?
This place has a Scarris wheel.
It's like a human Ferris wheel, but it gives you long-lasting nightmares.
Yes! This mama is ready for trauma.
-Ahem. -Oh, yeah.
We're on a very important quest to win a special prize for King.
Oh, we could help with that.
Aw. Does the little guy wanna win a prize?
Does he? Does he?
-(GIBBERISH) -(GRUNTS)
What do you think, King? The more the merrier, huh?
Um, sure. Whatever you want, Luz.
All right. Approval!
-Whoo! -Yeah! Yeah.
(INAUDIBLE)
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
So the pixie infestation was actually caused
when Boscha's pet pixie escaped its cage...
(GRUNTING, GROANING)
Curse these stubby legs!
(ALL LAUGHING)
-(SIGHS) -Oh, my, my, my.
You seem troubled.
Huh? Who said that?
It is I, Obvioso, the all-seeing psychic.
Haven't I seen you somewhere?
It's almost so...
Obvious?
That's what I was gonna say.
Wow. You really are psychic.
You're right. And Obvioso can see that something
is bothering you, little friend.
(SIGHS) You got my number, Obvioso.
Today was supposed to be about me and Luz, see?
But now she's distracted by her cool new school friends.
What if I were to tell you
that there was a way to make all those problems disappear?
I'd say that sounds illegal.
I would also say go on.
(LAUGHS)
Behold.
Holy bones! You poofed it.
Call the cops! This guy's crazy!
(LAUGHS) Hey. The spray is only temporary.
I just give my cheeks a tap and then...
It returns safe and sound.
-(CAWS) -(CHIRPING)
Take this.
Enjoy the carnival without the problems.
Luz, Willow, and Gus will be none the wiser.
Whoa. You even know their names.
Guess there's no use arguing with a fortune-teller.
Thanks, Obvioso.
(LAUGHS EVILLY)
Hey, side note, in the future do I ever find love?
Uh, yes.
(GIGGLES)
(SIGHS)
Hmm. Maybe I should think about this first.
King! Sorry we lost you back there, little dude.
Hey, it's okay.
Let's go back to the games and win those bracelets.
But we haven't gone on any rides
and there's no line for the bumper carcasses.
-Games! -Carcasses!
-Games! -Carcasses!
(STOMACH RUMBLES)
Food! I'm gonna grab some rotten candy while you guys figure this out. Bye!
When Luz comes back, let's go on the three-man cauldron spinner.
Or the triple swing.
Oh, and that's close to those photo booths that can fit exactly three people.
But today was me and Luz's day.
Aw. Does the little baby boo miss his buddy Luz?
Does he? Does he?
(GRUNTS) The King of Demons misses nobody.
I demand you put me down!
BOTH: What?
Oh, no! What have I done?
Wow. I guess they really wanted to ride those bumper carcasses.
Actually, Luz, there's something I gotta tell you.
No. There's something I gotta tell you, King.
I said I'd help you win those friendship bracelets.
So win them we shall, okay?
Uh, Willow and Gus will be okay for a little while, right?
-What was that? -Nothing.
Now let's go. (CHUCKLES)
LUZ: Ready or not, here we crumb.
KING: Yes! (CHUCKLES)
First, I'm growing out of my clothes. Now I'm shrinking?
Dang, puberty. You're the craziest coaster of them all.
Ugh.
(SCREAMS) What happened to us?
Did I black out on the molar coaster again?
Sketchy carnival rides are not to blame this time.
King had something in his pouch that made us small.
And I just got tall enough for the rides!
-(SOBS) -(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
Gus...
(GRUNTS)
I think we're safe now.
(BOTH SCREAMING)
Ew.
Enough of this.
(RUMBLING)
(SCREECHING)
Quick! We have to find Luz and get her attention
before any more carnival animals hunt us down.
(WHISTLING)
(BUZZING)
Eat up, my steed. Lead us to safety.
It's so hairy. Why is it so hairy?
-Because up close, everything is hairy. -Whoa!
Round as the moon, her ears are,
with mood swings as terrifying as night itself.
Now, who wants to touch an outdated human reference?
-I do. -Me!
Okay, show's over. This witch doesn't have a license.
-I can't do time again! -Run!
-Uh, what are you? The Fun Police? -Yes!
(SQUEAKS)
And you're coming with me.
Uh, excuse me, sir. I'd like to have a word with your staff.
Owlbert. Owlbert! Where are you?
-(HOOTS) -(BELL DINGING)
Owlbert, you're lucky I can't be mad at your adorable antics.
(CLATTERING)
Hey, I caught her.
I hate carnivals.
(GRUNTS, PANTS)
-(GRUNTS) We can't keep doing this. -(GASPS)
We won't have to for much longer.
Just when I thought I couldn't respect the law any less...
(SQUEAKING)
...it surprises me.
So I hear you're running scams at my carnival?
That's my job.
And I take my job very seriously.
(WHIRRING)
Spare me the yuks. What do you want?
Since I'm a forgiving demon, I'll give you two options.
I can pass you along to the Emperor's Coven
who'll throw you in the Conformatorium,
or you can scam for me.
1,230, 1,231...
Now, King, before you spend your tickets
are you sure you want those friendship bracelets and not this bad boy?
(GROWLS) I am the King of Night.
And every breath you take brings you closer to darkness.
This guy's a riot.
Yes, Luz. I want the bracelets.
It's kind of important to me, okay?
I can be important to you.
I, who have seen the birth and death of countless nations...
-(GROANS) -Hey, stop it.
No, no. Stop it.
Yes, where was I...
Well, lost count. Okay, one, two,
three, four, five, six...
Ugh, gross. I'm gonna need a mirror.
I'll be right back, King.
...12, 13, 14...
Count faster.
Huh. Here we go.
"You Made It."
Aw, what a supportive sign. Wait a sec.
-Supportive friends! -No, Luz. Don't do it.
(THUD)
Huh?
Oh, my gosh.
One million.
Yep, I just counted to one million.
The bracelets are yours.
Yes. Yes!
Now Luz and I will share a bond as mighty as these trinkets.
(LAUGHS)
Heya, Luz. Good news. I got the bracelets.
-King... -Huh? (GASPS)
You splashed us with something to make us small.
And now I can't go on the big-boy rides! You monster.
You weren't supposed to shrink.
You were supposed to disappear.
-No. Wait. -What?
No, no, no. No, Luz. I can explain.
I wanted to win the bracelets and there was this psychic, see.
That must've been what did it. Give me the spray bottle, King.
No, wait. I gotta explain.
-There's nothing to explain. -I was just trying to...
Shrink my friends?
-I was trying to solve my problems. -(GRUNTS)
BOTH: Uh-oh.
BOTH: Hi.
Wait, I can fix it.
Obvioso showed me how. Behold.
Why isn't this working?
I'd say it's working quite well.
Um, Luz, I think King is broken.
Tapping my cheeks is supposed to turn us normal.
The psychic told me.
Oh, did he? But what if he
lied to you from the start?
Hold on.
Lied to you from the start?
It's different.
You fiend. When Obvioso finds out you stole his mustache...
Oh...
The potion was designed by me.
Guess whose cheeks control it?
Why are you doing this?
When you destroyed my stand,
you destroyed generations of Grimm Hammer history.
Now it's time to pay.
(ALL SCREAM)
Welcome to the greatest show on the Boiling Isles.
(CHEERING)
(ALL GASP)
Will these witches and demons survive feeding time?
Let's find out.
(RINGING)
(SNARLING, GROWLING)
Aw, at least he's still my friend.
(GROWLING)
That's how friends react.
You ruined my livelihood.
So now you'll feed my livelihood.
Place your bets and enjoy the show.
Well, if I have to go, at least I'm with my best friends.
And King.
(NEIGHING)
Caramel Crab Apples. Get them hot and pinchy.
-MAN: Hey, over here! -Yeah, yeah.
Ah. Hold your spider-horses.
(ALL GASP, SCREAM)
We've gotta...
Find a way out of here.
(ROARING)
Ah, King, you idiot. This is all your fault.
But I think I know how to fix it.
-King? -Willow, Gus, I'm sorry for poofing you.
And, Luz, I'm sorry for taking you away from your friends.
I know you'll eventually go home
and now you're spending more time at school.
I just wanna be around you!
(ALL BOOING)
No refunds.
All right. I only have one shot.
(GRUNTS)
Darn flies.
Oh, no.
-(CROWD BOOING) -Hey, hey. No discounts, buddy.
You guys owe me. There's nothing happening in this show.
Not a single one of those dumb kids have gotten hurt yet.
Dumb kids?
Wait.
Those are my dumb kids!
(ALL SIGH)
You shrunk the animals too?
It's the Tent of Tiny Terrors.
Something needed to be tiny.
Finish the job! Get them kids.
Feast!
(SMACKING)
(NICKERING)
(NEIGHING)
(CROWD SCREAMING)
They foiled my plans.
You will pay for this!
This time I'm gonna personally squash you.
Oh, no, Tibbles. That's not how entertainment works.
The bad guy always gets his just desserts.
Oh, no! Not desserts!
Hey, girls. This one's on the house.
(SCREAMS)
Looks like we ruined his life for a second time.
We're on a roll.
Gus, Willow, you're okay!
LUZ: All thanks to you, King.
Here.
It was all that was left.
It's... It's okay.
Because now there's a piece for everybody.
If you'll accept it, that is?
Thank you, King.
Yeah. I've always wanted to own a jagged piece of cheap metal.
That's very sweet.
I'm sorry, Luz.
Demons do crazy things when they've been missing somebody.
And can I tell you a secret?
-I've been missing you too. -(GIGGLES)
Hey, we still have a few hours of carnival left.
Wanna hit those bumper carcasses?
-You bread my mind. -(LAUGHS)
Yes! Bread puns. Bread puns forever.
You coming, Eda?
Nah. I think I got everything I wanted.
(WOOD CREAKING)
Yep. Another great year at the carnival.
Boy, fly, we sure get into some wacky hijinks, don't we?
Sure feel sorry for anyone that missed seeing us two rabble-rousers
getting into scrapes.
Good thing I brought a camera.
Yep. Hooty and fly. Together forever. You and me.
Every single day... (COUGHS)
Now I know what friendship tastes like.
Yum.
Tastes like a bug.
