peeled off columbo's skin and chopped himinto tiny slices. they have connectionswith every fruit in town. i can handle them. ah, i like your ambition,rainbow. and i know howto reward loyalty. i'm gonna trust you on this one. - but don't let me down.- i won't, sir. rainbow, please,call me sonny.

[herbie zingsand sanchez farts] so, what do you say now, chief? you know, herbie,when i first made you detective, some people told mei had made a mistake. - ha, you don't say, chief?- yes.

they said a fluff-headlittle puppet couldn't follow simple ordersor obey simple commands. well, a puppet can do anythinga human can do. uh, herbie... well, if that's the case,would you mind telling me what the hell were you thinking? sonny russo is apersonal friend of the mayor's! but chief,i was just trying my best to-- you are not supposedto be doing anything!

you're on indefinite suspension,effective immediately. - but chief...- chief, it's really not fair. and you,are you shitting me, sanchez? it's like you hada fucking lobotomy. do you knowhow to wipe your own ass? [sad music playing] give me your badge and gun. [badge and gun clunk] ah, don't give me that crap.i found you at red lobster.

that's where you wind upif you don't watch your mouth. i thought you were a friend. but you'rejust like everyone else. you're high on your own beans,you stupid mitten. nobody talks to me like that! don't move. what do you wanna do? shoot me? you worthless piece of fluff. me and roxy are gonna leave.

sonny:roxy, make us some drinks. and use the good scotch. it gonna be rainbow's last! [gun fires then roxy screams] [sonny groans] [footsteps approaching] uncle sonny! you just made the biggestmistake of your life. kill it![guns cock]

[puppets zing then guns cock] henchman:oh, no. [henchman sighs] [guns cock] you just got to know one thing,rainbow. jake... drop the balloon, jake. [puppets cheering] wait, guys, guys...he's getting away!

you better run, jake.this town is mine now. do you hear me? mine! fear grips the hearts of puppets and humansalike tonight as a waveof gang-related violence has swept over the city. puppet on human killings have inflamed tensions that haven't been felt since the flutsy wutsy police beating tapes release.

a source close to the city's unpopular chief of police claims she plans to reach out to the puppet community. but the word on the street is that no end to the killing is in sight. [people screamthen woman screams] no one knows who is ultimately behind these deadly gang actions on either side. but it is feared they are motivated by racial hatred. [rainbow laughs]

until more is known, the mayor's office is urging citizens to stay inside their homes and neighborhoods as much as possible. mm, you're so soft. so are you. this is snooper p. snoopsfor the snoopers report. back to you, jan. i wanna see felts flying.double patrols in p-town.

anything soft and fuzzy, i want shaken downand squeezed for info. i don't care if stitchesget split in the process. i want results. uh, chief, i have an idea. does in involve a blow-up dollfilled with lasagna? all: ha-ha-ha.- no, it doesn't. spit it out, goddamn it. what do you want? a dollarfor the vending machine?

uh, no, i was just thinking maybe we could getherbie back and... [everyone grumbles] herbie? when are you twogetting married? [everyone laughs] beat it, shell monkey. [ships horn blaring] herbie? herbie, i need your help,but the chief said i need to--

oh, no. uhn. - oh, you puppets look the same.- please, don't kill me. wait a minute, that's it.oh, thanks, mwah. i can't believei didn't think of this earlier. please, don't go. as crime in the city continues to escalate, puppets and humans alike are asking [doorbell rings] who can stop it.

abigail:herbie, could you get that? [herbie jr. mumbling] herbie, i've got a-- oh, sorry. - where's herbie?abigail: sanchez. - what are you doing here?- oh, herbie! ...in six weeks-- herbie, crime's out of control, and you're the only onewho can stop it. please, sanchez, herbie isn'tthe only cop in the city.

he has to put his family first. yeah. [herbie and herbie jr. laugh] his name is herbie jr. [herbie snickers] oh, hi. sanchez: but that's just it.you are the only one. all right,you have to go undercover. no human cop can do it,

because all puppetslook the same. oh, that's so racist, sanchez. besides, i'm suspended. i can't. sanchez:herbie, think about it. you could becomethis awesome renegade cop, wear a sweet leather duster. you could break all the rules. i could never do that sanchez.

if i break the rules, i sink as low as the crooksi'm trying to stop. yeah, i guess that makes sense. herbie:i'm really sorry, sanchez. i am too, buddy, i am too. oh, but... - never mind.- wait, what is it? - yeah, what is it, sweetie?- mm-mm. uh, you can tell us, abigail.

i promise nothing badwill happen to me. you don't have to violateyour suspension if, pursuantto police general order 69, section 7, paragraph c,you become a civilian informant. - yeah.- ha! you know, i think she's right. - i'm in.- yes, all right-- wait, how did you know that?

so sexist, sanchez. i'm the criminal prosecutor.i'm just on maternity leave. oh, sorry, ma'am. don't you worryabout your husband herbie. i'll take care of him.i've got years of experience-- sanchez: oh, your upstairsneighbors are 69-ing. hmm, do i really haveto wear a wire? no one will find it. they're gonna believeyou're a real hoodlum.

well, there's just one problem. if rainbow brown is mixed upin all of this, he kind of knows me. we were best friends, growing upin the mean streets of p-town. back in those days, we sangsongs in the corner for nickels. [organ music playing] [singing in unison] dear old pal we'll always be together we're old pals

through hell and stormy weather i'll be true you're my pal and i'm yours too i'd lay down my life for you herbie: but life was hard. jellybeans were destroying the neighborhood. crime was out of control. give me that, ha-ha-ha. - hey, give that back.- come on, herbie, don't...

[both grunting] herbie, we can't let that meanytake our nickels no more. oh, there's a police officer manover there. he'll help us. no way, herbie, we've gotto stand up for ourselves or elsethey'll never leave us alone. but the police officer manhas got a shiny badge and a hat. herbie, he's getting away! oh... oh... i was so nervous talking to that cop.

it took me a little while to explain what happened. by the time we caught up to rainbow, it was too late. [rainbow gruntsthen meany groans] meany:oh, stop, oh... meany: oh...rainbow: ugh, no! herbie! when rainbow finally got out, he was different. he became a dealer, just like that onesthat ruined p-town.

and our friendship was over. if rainbow browncan recognize you, i don't knowwhat we're gonna do. the answer isright under your nose. - oh, what...?- oh, look at this. a tiny little cute disguise. and we can put the wireless mikeright underneath it. - oh...- ugh. sanchez:check it out.

wow, abigail,how did you do it? i made itout of your favorite coat. come home safe, and i'll sew itback together, honey. you know what?you guys are so cute together. - oh, ha, ha.- yeah. [roxy sniffs] [both moaning] - oh, rainbow...- oh... [both sighing]
