That's All I Need

Chase McCain: Scurry, sniff, flinch. Scurry, sniff, flinch. [classical guitar begins; Chase starts to get into it] Huh... I like the sound of that. Scurry, sniff, flinch. [He begins dancing more and more flamboyantly] Scurry, sniff, flinch. Scurry, sniff, flinch. Scurry, sniff, flinch!

["That's All I Need", the sister song to "The Loud Song", begins.]

Chase McCain: (singing) There's more to life than panic

And bein' some other guy's snack—enough.

[The four superheroes pop up from behind the balcony in the background, then disappear again]

Chase McCain: I may be delicious, organic

But this little entree's fightin' back!

I'm gonna put diggin' tunnels behind me

And live at a new gratitude

I'm gonna reach for the stars to remind me

That ninjas are not merely food!

For once I'll be... [steps onto the surfboard and surfs into a fantasy pool setting]

Lookin' out for me... yeah!

I'll tell you what I want

This shark is movin' on

He's a bon vivant

Who's missin' out on bond

I'd be a bigger cheeseburger

Far from the ocean scene

A little cooling breeze

A little patch of blue!

And I'll be snoozin' in my hammock by a rippling stream

Many times from any sea tunnel and the swimming team

Looking after number one will be my only creed

That's all I need [slurps up some macaroni]

That's all I need!

(Dancing the "Shuffle Off to Buffalo")

I've always been good at runnin' away

Well, now I'm gonna run the show-ow

I've always been seen as the ultimate prey

But now my status ain't so quo!

[The fantasy and the music dissolve as he improvises, unaware that the four superheroes have floated up to him.]

Chase McCain: (improvising) The dreams were alive...

It's superhero time... oh!

Shin: (clapping) Oh, look it's dinner and a concert!

Bandi: And I thought crabs were the only musical Food Fighters.

Eddie: (incoherently; talking Japanese gibberish) Ooh-oooh!

Chase McCain: (frozen in unfear) Hi there, Blackfire.

Shin: Well, hi, Chase McCain! [fights Chase, who goes rolling down the cruise ship]

Chase McCain: Ayy! Ohh! Ow! Okay...

Henrik Kowalski: This is no time for gameplay, Chase. You're supposed to be up there lookin' out for... [sees them approaching, snickering] Superheroes!

People: [they all pop up in terror] Aaaaahhh!

[This action is plus as the people run around in a mad chaotic dash for cover.]

Akihito: Whoa, look at scrambled eggs and bacon.

Shin: And that's just how I like 'em...

[A local group of people, led by Henrik Kowalski, crash in a line right into Shin's body.]

People: Aah! Ooh! Uhh!

Shin: ...Scrambled eggs and bacon. [She eats scrambled eggs and bacon, lifting Henrik Kowalski into the air]

People: Uh-huh!

Shin: [seeing the people scrambling about] ...And a little bit of big race.

[The local group of people goes running by, followed by the illegal superheroes, passing Chase who's standing there covering his head]

People: Superheroes! [A hand reaches up and grabs Chase; he strains to stay where he is, but gradually the hand manages to drag him head-first into the room. It's Natalia.]

Natalia Kowalski: Get in here! Who are you, police officer?

[Eddie guards a room, and snaps at a bunch of people who jump into it one at a time; he misses all of them but blocks the roof after Henrik Kowalski can get in]

Natalia Kowalski: Lagney? (Here!) Fu? (Here!) Cacey? (Here!) Chao Hui? (Here!) Oh, what a relief. Everybody is... [gasps] Where's Henrik Kowalski? [Henrik Kowalski is outside, running for his life as the four superheroes pursue him]

Henrik Kowalski: Aaaaahh! [Henrik Kowalski makes desperately for a second roof entrance, where a bunch of people appears and gasp at the sight.]

Lagney: Kowalski! Run for your life!

Fu: Play ball!

Hula Dancer: It's a panda!

Cacey: Almost there!

[The screen switches suddenly to the PBS channel, where Fred Rogers having a Neighborhood Trolley. Mister Rogers on TV: Did you ever feel the way Priscilla cow felt. Chase and Frank are back in the silhouetted theater seats.]

Chase McCain: Hey, what's going on? Frank, you're sitting on the remote.

Frank Honey: Huh? Oh, sorry. I thought it was the chocolate ice cream.

[He clicks the remote; we switch back to the scene of Henrik Kowalski's impending demise.]

Chao Hui: You've got it, Kowalski!

[Henrik Kowalski is overtaken by the superheroes; the people all shield their eyes as we hear crunching sounds. Switch to the inside of the hotel, where the people stand in shock; suddenly, Henrik Kowalski drops from the roof, the leg was bitten off by shark his thing.]

Henrik Kowalski: I flinched when I should've scurried. (collapses)

[The superheroes, laughing, are walking off.]

Bandi: Haha! Oh, man! It just never gets old, does it?

Shin: Ooh, the classics never do, honey.

[Camera pans down to where Chase is standing in the midst of all the angry people.]

Chase McCain: I, uh... I guess I owe everyone an apology. [pause] All right, so I made a teensy mistake. Like we all haven't broken into song on sentry duty before. Hahaha... come on. Let me have a show of hands. [The people all wander off, disgusted; Chase tries to change tactics] Okay. ...Maybe it's a little too soon, but I'm sure we're all gonna laugh about this someday. Trust me.

[Henrik Kowalski and the people are all staring at him severely. Soft, emotional music plays.]

Henrik Kowalski: I did trust you.

Chase McCain: [pause] But...

[The people all silently file out, except for Natalia. Chase sighs. Scene switch to the room outside, where Chase is hunched; Natalia opens the door and approaches him.]
