[upbeat music playing]

Ugh! By the time this bus arrives,

I'll be able to ride it for free.

Don't worry. I'm sure it'll turn up soon.

Oh, look at that.

It just came just as I was saying

it was going to turn up.

[passengers shouting]

[in Scottish accent] We're at full capacity.

You're gonna have to wait for the next one.

Come on.

There are elves that fit their entire workshop

into a shoe.

Argh! He used the elf trick.

Curse you.

-[passengers grunt] -All right, here we go.

-Get in there then. -[passengers grunting]

[grunting] Watch it. Coming though.

Excuse me.

Dude, you look like a reality TV housewife.

Ugh, I wish I was because this reality is busted.

It's full of annoying NPCs

who don't even offer you any side quests.

Greetings, young traveler.

Will you aid me in a quest

to a place far, far away from here?

Because you're standing on my robe!

[grunts and thuds]

-Why does Alan get a seat? -[song playing on headphones]

-[humming in tune] -He floats.

I can't believe I'm stuck here

pressed up against all of these

cheese-smelling, sweat-dripping,

open-mouth-chewing, seat-hugging,

-hog-smelling-- -Dude, dude, dude.

Keep it down. You'll hurt someone's feelings.

Oh, don't worry. My feelings are fine.

No, someone else's feelings.

You know, you're not the main character in life.

Other people have thoughts and feelings

and complex interior lives.

[making farting sounds]

[giggling]

[slurps]

-[farting sounds continue] -[giggling]

Hmm?

Maybe he just makes those noises

to bring a little joy into the world.

Hmm?

[chomping]

Maybe their jaw was injured in a chewing gum accident,

and that's the only way they can eat now.

Hmm?

Maybe he's just feeling a little clone-ly.

Eh. I don't buy it.

We all know reality only exists

because I experience it.

It's scientifically proven.

[grunts]

-[gasps] -[tires screech]

[dramatic music playing]

What the...

[mystical music playing]

What just happened?

You got butt-slapped

into a new dimension of thought.

For the first time ever,

you're thinking outside yourself.

Whoa.

[sputters] Everyone looks different.

Brighter, less basic.

[Darwin] Exactly.

This is what empathy feels like.

And with empathy,

we can better understand those around us.

And fly!

Yeah, and... and fly.

I have always wondered about the bus driver.

Like, what's up with the armor?

The only thing he's dealing with

are double-parked cars.

Well, maybe with a bit of em-pa-thy,

we may see.

-[cheerful music playing] -[birds chirping]

-[cheerful music ends] -Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up.

Is this gonna be one of those things

where we go around a bunch of random people,

see a bunch of sketches, learn a lesson,

then I sing a song at the end?

You want to be stuck on this bus forever?

No.

Okay. Then, where were we?

[cheerful music continues]

Huh? Stand back, my lady.

-[slashes] -[thuds]

After you.

[growls]

-[grunting] -[slamming]

-[shivers] -Oh, you're cold.

[bleats]

I think we should see other people.

What?

Oh, but, my princess,

I have vowed to love and protect you.

I just wanted to go for a walk,

and you've destroyed literally everything in our path.

-[fire crackling] -[bleating]

And you've really hurt Pete.

Yeah, man. Not cool.

Sorry. This isn't going to work.

-[solemn music playing] -Please, my love, I beg you,

give me one more chance to prove myself.

Come find me when you've learned to listen.

And had a bath.

It's one thing to dress

like you're at a comic book convention,

but another to smell like one.

[sobbing]

Whoa!

Maybe he wears armor

not to protect his buffalo body

but his heart.

Hmm.

Okay, okay, okay. But what about Sal Left Thumb?

He's a criminal. There's no excuse for that.

The real crime would be not to wonder.

[cheerful music playing]

[all laughing and speaking indistinctly]

That's so dirty.

Hey, lady, lighten up.

Loose your sense of fun in this museum too?

[all laughing]

Oh, Sal, I love our family,

even if they can be a handful.

Oh, Pinky, come here.

-Give your mama a kiss. -[kisses]

-Love you, Mama. -Hey, Index, Middle.

Stop fighting, will ya? [giggles]

[intense music playing]

[alarm blaring]

Whoa! What's going on?

Huh?

Hands up, hands.

Well, well, well.

Dirty fingerprints at the scene of the crime.

-I think we found our culprit. -[all gasp]

[officer] Take 'em away, boys.

[prison gate buzzes]

[officer 1 grunting]

Hey, hey, hey, we're not barbarians.

Women and children first.

And get that left thumb over to processing.

Take his print.

-[wife thumb] What? -Wait.

-[ominous music playing] -No, no, no!

[all] Daddy.

No. No, wait, please stop!

[officer 2] In you go. Get in there.

-[door clangs] -[thunder rumbling]

[clattering]

[clanks]

[grunting]

[panting]

-[dramatic music playing] -I'll get you back, family.

Even if I have to beg, steal, and...

I'll say steal!

Whoa! Maybe he steals because he was stolen from?

That's deep.

You getting it now?

People might be going through all kinds of things.

Yeah. It's like even the most annoying,

narcissistic, aggravating souls,

probably have a good reason for being so.

-Let's see-- -Oh, wait.

No, I... I was talking about Alan,

but, uh, we can do Mrs. Robinson.

-[melancholy music playing] -Mimi.

-[dog barking distantly] -Mama?

Hey, kid, you lost your parents?

Mimi.

Oh, don't worry. I'll find them for you.

-[clattering] -[man whimpering]

-[ominous music playing] -[gasps]

-Oh! No. What are you doing? -[whimpering]

We were hiding from her.

-Huh? -[sinister music playing]

[giggling maniacally]

Mimi, Mimi, Mimi, Mimi.

-[music crescendos] -[objects clattering]

[parents screaming]

Well, I guess some people are who they are.

But maybe now we know why Granny Jojo

is so overprotective of Mr. Dad.

You wanna do him next?

No. I think we've experienced enough of Dad's inner workings

after that discount sushi incident.

[both laugh] Mmm.

Speaking of gross, moldy food products, though,

what about this melted cheese guy?

Okay, it is time.

You worked hard on this body.

You look great. You look good, man.

Just because you're made of cheese

doesn't mean you have to ferment

like a blob of grease on the couch. No, sir!

And it's a good thing Karen left me.

She did not see me for who I really am.

A dairy Adonis.

A sharp, shredded, mature snack.

[laughing]

I make myself laugh.

Something Karen could never do!

She moved out, but Mr. Self-Esteem moved in.

There is nothing this world could do to stop me shredding!

Climate change warning. Massive heatwave alert.

Residents advised to stay indoors.

[sunrays warbling]

Hi, honey, I'm home.

Great weather we've been having.

[softly] Yes, Karen.

[both] Aw.

Maybe he just needs to grow a spine.

Literally.

Dude, this is great.

I feel like everyone is an open book.

A story waiting to be told.

People who complain might just spend a lot of time

being complained at.

-[people shouting indistinctly] -[baby crying]

Seemingly boring people might have the wildest lives.

[upbeat electronic music playing]

Never judge a book by its cover.

[laughing maniacally]

Unless it's, uh...

Yeah. [hesitates] Yeah.

[stirring music playing]

I used to feel cramped on this bus,

but now my world view feels...

endless. [echoes]

[tires screech]

[chuckles] Yo, sorry, dude.

Your job's hard enough without airheads like me

harshing your vibes.

Nah, it's all right.

It's hard to find a place to skate

in a city that doesn't invest in public parks.

-Totally. -[tires screech]

[chuckles] Later, dude.

If you look at the world with kindness

and try to see things

from other people's point of view,

it'll make life just that much easier.

[both] Hmm.

Seeing things from other people's

point of view?

You mean making up random stories about them.

-What? -Yeah. You guys were

just standing there talking to yourselves

for, like, the last five minutes.

It was totally creepy.

I've been hanging from the rear filming you,

so I got it on camera.

Yeah. And then he asks the princess,

and then he... he says, like, "I love you."

Yeah, yeah. And he then chops down the tree

so the princess could walk through.

-Yeah. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-[both] Hmm. -[Sal] Yeah!

I steal because I'm a failed Broadway star.

I'm not into princesses.

I'm a gate troll

of the Seventh Chasm kind of guy.

[grunting]

People, people, people. Please.

Anger is not the answer.

How about a little empathy?

I knew this was gonna happen.
