At All Costs

Starring: Lumpy and Mime

Appearing: Cro-Marmot

The episode starts with a starving, poor Lumpy lying on a bench with nothing but a piece of bread to eat. Before he takes a bite a forlorn Mime appears at the end of the bench. He wants the bread as much as Lumpy. Lumpy reluctantly break the bread in half and shares it with Mime, who eats his pieces like an animal. Mime wants the other half to, so an angry Lumpy licks the bread an hands it to Mime to see if he'll still eat it. To his surprise Mime eats the bread and walks away.

Lumpy walks away upset when Mime suddenly flies onscreen as a fairy. He sees Lumpy walk past a vending machine so he shoots it with his wand and a soda falls out. Lumpy excitedly picks it up and drinks the whole thing in one chug he then throws the can in the trash and walks away in a somewhat happy mood. Mime decides he'd like to reward Lumpy again.

He looks down the street and can see a meat truck coming, which is being driven by Cro-Marmot. Mime shoots the van and a ring of sausages, two steaks, a sausage, and 3 dead fish land in front on Lumpy. Lumpy cheers and devours the meal. Mime feeling he's helped Lumpy enough, flies off to reward more do-gooders.

Suddenly greed takes the best of Lumpy when he sees the meat truck coming. He spots a rock on the sidewalk and whistles as he slowly kicks it in the road. Cro-Marmot ends up running over the rock which causes him to drive out of control and crash into a building, and the truck sets on fire. After getting an eyeful of the damage he's caused, Lumpy runs away before he can get in trouble when the truck suddenly explodes sending Cro-Marmot and all of the meat in the sky.

Lumpy stops running and starts running around in circles and begins picking up the meat and throwing it in the air as the meat lands on the ground. Mime is extremly displeased with Lumpy's actions so he redirects the direction Cro-Marmot is falling in and drops him above Lumpy. Just before Lumpy eats a sausage he sees Cro-Marmot falling in his direction and shields himself for impact. Luckily half of Cro-Marmot's body landed on the truck so Lumpy gets back to excitedly throwing the meat in the air, that is until Cro-Marmot's ice block breaks in half and one of the halfs crush Lumpy's body. Mime shakes his head at scene and flies away.
