- Has Stan let you know what he's working on yet?
- Nope.
And with any luck, he won't.
- Well, he is decided to build an aquarium
and a big one at that.
- Not wanting him to tell me wasn't an invitation
for you to tell me.
- I mean, you are going to find out one way or another.
- I don't think you can make more than one move
at a time in chess.
- I'll be honest, Chick.
I don't even know the rules to chess.
- Neither do I,
but we could at least do a better job pretending.
- Operation Stanerarium Aquarium is full speed ahead.
- Stanerarium?
- It's the name of the aquarium.
- Stan, your wordplay is unrivaled.
- Well, time to find some volunteers
to fill the enclosure I've built.
Either of you two wanna help?
- If they're volunteering, why would you need our help?
- The word you're looking for is kidnapping.
Stan, do you need help kidnapping?
- Fine.
I'll do it myself.
(upbeat music)
(bubbles popping)
- Yeah, prestige television has just turned
into six hour long movies.
It's frankly, an exploitation of the form.
- Can we just talk about what I want for once?
No!
Not the demon!
Not again!
- Demon?
I'm Stan.
- [Glow Squid] This isn't a real game interaction.
What are you doing?
- Improvising.
- I have to hand it to you, Stan.
This is impressive.
- I know.
Thank you.
- Aw, what a cutie!
- Hey Stan.
What's with this pen?
This enclosure's pretty immaculate,
but I don't see any creature inside.
- Yeah.
That's because it is empty.
Empty!
Why on earth would there be such an elegant empty tank
at this incredible aquarium?
- Oh, is that a rhetorical question?
- Of course it is rhetorical.
I'm sorry.
This final beast has caused me so much stress.
They used to be everywhere around here,
but I can't seem to find an axolotl to save my life.
- Axolotl?
Oh!
I found one earlier today.
- You what?
- I found an axolotl.
Here, just take this map.
It isn't very far.
They seemed very nice.
I'm sure they might even wanna come here on their own.
(Stan laughing)
- Holy (beep).
- They will be here soon enough.
- We need to stop Stan from starting
any more little projects.
- Seriously.
(Stan panting)
- Aquarium complete.
- Now what?
- I guess most of my creative projects self destruct.
I guess we just leave it here?
- Feels weird.
- I know, right?
- Alanna?
Mutton?
Anyone?
Help?
Gosh, Gilly.
What have you gotten yourself into this time?
Help?
- Hey, pig.
- Porkchop, thank you.
- Sorry, Porkchop.
Can you help me?
- I don't know.
I don't think Stan would like that.
- Who is Stan?
- My friend?
- You sound awfully nervous talking about your friend.
- We have a complicated relationship.
- All right.
Well, if you can't help me,
could you at least deliver a message for me?
- Is it going to be a message begging for your escape?
- No.
It's for my friend, to tell them how much
I like this aquarium.
- All right.
Seems reasonable enough.
Wait, how did you write?
You know what, it's fine.
- Thank you, Porkchop.
- Of course.
(door thudding)
Waiting for Alex to join the block squad?
Wish you could be the first person to know
when Tanner finally wins the Battle Royale?
