[narrator 1] Brought to you by Cindy's Spinning Desktop Globes.

See the world.

[clock ticking]

Five minutes, everyone.

[chuckling]

[chuckles]

Whoa.

[♪ curious downbeat music playing]

[slurps]

- [♪ music concludes] - [clears throat]

You... want us to stop?

No, I want you to guard this awesome tower

while we all go find more kids to add more stuff.

[♪ intriguing chiming]

[knocking at door]

Oh, wow, that was incredible. So high.

Next!

[♪ intriguing percussive music playing]

Well, this will stack okay,

but how's someone gonna stack something on top?

What are you thinking?

Get out.

Next!

Hmm. Pretty good weight, nooks and crannies.

What do you think, Trev?

Looks good.

Congrats. Now Barry's gonna do a quick nerves test.

Hey. Got a steady hand, Junior?

[♪ music stops]

Sorry. I'm nervous.

Aw, don't be nervous.

- Just get out. - Go take a walk

in the playground, do some breathing exercises.

Come back when you're ready.

- [Kiff] Next! - [flute whistles]

- [Barry] It's a high-schooler. - Danny Wibbon.

Be cool.

I got it from the sports field.

All right, this is what I'm talking about, people.

Look at this. It's soft, light. It's relatively square.

Born to stack.

Can Barry check your hands?

Rock solid.

I did it.

[crowd applauds]

- [♪ suspense stringer] - Golf clap, everyone.

[applaud quietly]

- [items creaking] - [quietly] More stuff.

[inaudible]

[♪ upbeat electronic music playing]

[applauding]

[birds chirping]

[♪ upbeat music concludes]

What's going on? Why did we stop?

Tower's done, Trev.

It's at the ceiling. We can't go any higher.

But we must.

I am sorry, everyone. I was just informed

about this here tower,

and I'll have you know that, as your principal,

- my feathers are ruffled! - [♪ grave music playing]

Principal Secretary, we can explain.

[groans] Ruffled!

That nobody invited me to add my stapler to the tower.

- [♪ music concludes] - That's because...

we were saving your stapler to be at the very top.

Oh.

But we've hit the ceiling. The tower can't go any higher.

Unless you can move the ceiling, somehow.

Hmm.

All set.

No maps for these territories.

[♪ inspiring string music playing]

- How you doing, Trev? - How you holding up?

This is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Keep going.

We're gonna need more items, people.

But the school doesn't have any more.

You know, I hate to name-drop,

but the Fred Shepherd of Table Town News

happens to be a former student of mine.

- Oh, what are you thinking, PS? - Well,

- I have an old email of Fred's. - [keypad beeping]

Perhaps I should maybe--

Hi, is this Fred Shepherd from Table Town News?

Big story happening down here at school.

Okay, see you soon.

Oh, sorry. We-- We know him, too.

[♪ dramatic jingle plays]

Folks, there's something going on down here

at Table Town School, nothing short of miraculous.

Students have been stacking small items on top

of a fellow student's head, and let's take a look.

Now, I understand you two are the gatekeepers, if you will.

That's right, Fred.

Approving the items before they can be stacked?

Correct, Fred.

And, uh, how would, let's say, old Fred's, uh,

trademark microphone stack up?

Would that get approved? [chuckles]

- You think that would stack? - You have to unplug it.

No, I'm not ac-- That was just a...

fun hypothetical-- Now, let's meet the young fellow

at the bottom of the pile, so to speak.

How are you doing down there?

Hi, Fred. It's an honor to speak with you.

Well, my producer is telling me that your name is Trevor.

Yeah, that's right.

So, if you'll forgive me, one could call this

the Tower on Trevor, so to speak.

[all laughing]

[laughs]

Please don't make me laugh, Fred.

Fair enough, young fella. Now, I have a question, here,

that I think a lot of our viewers are wondering.

What happens when you have to pee?

I guess I hadn't thought of that.

Maybe I'll just...

never pee again.

Well, uh, I don't know if that's how that works, but,

uh, uh, let's talk about

some of the other items you have on top of you.

- I see a, uh... - [♪ suspenseful music playing]

Kiff, I'm worried about Trevor.

Me too. That's why I turned you around.

[Barry] A person can't just not pee, right?

- Oh, just great stuff. - Yeah.

I want this to be the lead story at five.

Fred said this was gonna be the lead story at five.

Trevor, listen, we were thinking

maybe it's time to...

walk away from the tower.

A person can't just not pee.

I understand.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Unrelated, Miss Deer Teacher,

may I have a word with you in private?

Did you see that these two... [whispers indistinctly]

You're both fired from the tower team.

- [♪ dramatic sting] - [both] What?

Smart, Trevor. Real smart. Good luck with not peeing, man.

Barry, we gotta go back in there and talk sense to him.

Okay, but how do we get in?

- [♪ intriguing music playing] - What if we don't get in,

- we get dow-- - Just tell me what your plan is.

Thanks for helping us, Sweeps.

I've always hated this skylight.

Sweepy just tiled this roof,

and now we're poking holes in it? [growls]

Oh, Sweepy's mad. Sweepy's uncharacteristically mad.

Well, my producer is telling me that your name is Trevor.

[Trevor on TV] Yeah, that's right.

[Fred on TV] So, if you'll forgive me...

Who's that? Identify yourselves.

I'll scream.

No, wait. Hear us out.

Oh, it's you two.

Please, Trev, you know us.

We were there at the beginning.

I put my pencil right there.

- [♪ gentle music playing] - [Barry] And that's my eraser.

I'll hear you out.

All beautiful things in life are fleeting.

Anything that has true value is ephemeral.

Remember that summer night when we saw those fireworks

and we were sad that our phones had died?

Remember what you said?

[inhales, sighs]

I said it was a special once-in-a-lifetime moment.

[♪ music concludes]

Okay. I'm ready to end the tower.

[both] Yay, we got through to him!

Well, I mean, all that ephemeral stuff, sure,

but also, I really do have to pee.

[both] Oh.

[♪ dramatic instrumental music playing]

- No! - [gasps]

[♪ music intensifies]

[gasps]

[distant rumbling]

[♪ ethereal instrumental music playing]

[steady, eerie breathing]

[mystical echoing voice] Thank you, Creator.

You have given me life.

You're welcome.

Who... who are you?

I can't remember what I was before this moment,

but now I am alive and everything is beautiful.

I can feel the breeze on my face.

The same breeze that rustles the slender branches

of yonder willow tree.

I can smell pizza muffins baking in the cafeteria.

And although I have never tasted a pizza muffin,

I can tell by the aroma they are delicious,

but also a little doughy.

[camera clicks]

Thank you, Creator.

I am now going to explore this beautiful world

for as long as I can.

Goodbye.

[♪ ethereal instrumental music continues]

Bye.

[♪ ethereal music peaks]

- [♪ music stops abruptly] - Oh, my stapler.
