The Awareness

What Is The Theme?



 * Wait, isn't there some kind of theme at school this week?


 * Argh, I hate all these theme weeks! Cake week, cake crumb cleanup week, ant week, how do we get rid of ants week, anteaters week, how do we get rid of anteaters week. What is it this week?


 * Technology week?


 * No, that was three weeks ago.




 * Happy technology week, Bobert! Hey, who's your little friend?


 * That is a vacuum cleaner. Do you assume all machines know each other?




 * Dude, Technology week, remember?


 * Yuh-huh.




 * Not helping.


 * Oh, we haven't done history week!


 * No, you haven't done history week.




 * Why are you dressed as a panda? It's history week. Endangered species week was last week.


 * Exactly. I'm dressed up as last week, that's history, right? Anyway, surely pandas are history by now.


 * You just forgot, didn't you?


 * Yup.


 * Okay, we're definitely going to mess this up again! We don't even know what the theme is!


 * Don't worry, I've got this.

Green Week

 * I'm not sure about this.




 * Ah, come on. Chill. We've got all the bases covered.




 * and : Huh?




 * Oh, it's green week.


 * Yeah! I even filled up the bus with cod liver oil instead of gas!




 * Wait, it's sunflower oil that works in engines. Well, looks like you're walking to school. And it was so difficult squeezing all those fish into the gas tank.




 * Sarah, great detail! Even your ice caps are melting.
 * Actually, it's just a hot day, but thanks for pointing it out, Darwin.
 * Whoa! Love the green rainbow, Tobias!
 * ​​​​​​: It's not a costume... I think I have food poisoning--
 * & : Ugh!
 * Hey, Bobert! Thank goodness. Glad we're not the only ones who've done nothing for Green Week--
 * Bobert? Installing updates?
 * Actually, Bobert is taking part. He turns himself off every night. Unfortunately it takes him ninety minutes to reboot.
 * Oh. We are the only ones then.
 * Ah, well, it's only Green Week. I mean there's nothing special about plants. Think about it. Superheroes are all named after animals and insects for a reason. The city's been invaded by evil alien robots, but fear not, Tree Man will save us! By silently standing in a field with nothing but the power of going bald annually.
 * I can already see the merch!
 * Yup, plants are pointless.
 * ​: Eh-hem! I'm a plant! I think we're pretty important!
 * Leslie! Yeah, m-me too! Plants do loads of important things!
 * ​: Really? Name one.
 * Only one? But there's so many!
 * ​​​​​​​​: Okay, then give me five.
 * Let's just start with one, shall we?
 * ​​​​​​​​: Okay, then give me one.
 * Uuuuuuhhhhh.......salad!!
 * ​​​​​​​​: Salad?
 * Yeah......yeah, this whole thing is coming out wrong! Lettuce-I mean let us forget about it! It's clearly a thorny issue. Thorny? Uhh, we should just nip it in the bud.
 * ​​​​​​​​: No, let's not! That phrase is actually incredibly offensive to plants! Hmph!
 * Leslie, wait! Let me explain!
 * ​​​​​​​​: Okay.
 * Ah, sorry, I got nothin'. I didn't think you'd actually turn around.
 * ​​​​​​​​: Hmph!
 * You wanna do it, or shall I?
 * You do it.
 * You wanna do it, or shall I?
 * You do it.

Some Research on Plants

 * I can't believe Leslie thinks I don't care about plants!
 * Well, do you?
 * Yeah! I care loads! What about the, you know, big thing? The big green thing?
 * The woods?
 * No no, the other one. Bigger. The wet one.
 * The rainforest?
 * The rainforest! Yeah, the rainforest.
 * What about the rainforest?
 * Well, isn't it that there's too much of it? Or....not enough?
 * Which one?
 * Too much?
 * Wrong. If you wanna get Leslie to forgive you, you're going to have to do a whole lot of research.
 * Oh yeah. Absolutely. I mean, that's very important, of course. About what?
 * PLANTS!
 * Excuse me, I'm —
 * Computers one, three, and four work. Please surf responsibly.
 * Actually, I'm here for some books.
 * WHAT??!! Shh! Quiet! Sorry, I'm just excited! Kids only come here for the computers!
 * Yeah, no, I wanna learn about the history of plant culture!
 * Ah, you're in luck! I'm doing a lecture on plant history soon, and —
 * Ooooh, sorry, I'm...busy that day.
 * She didn't say when it was.
 * Could I just have the notes? Do the notes have notes?  Could you just summarize it for me?
 * You want me to summarize the entirety of plant culture and history?
 * Yeah! Preferably in one word.
 * Photosynthesis.
 * One that I know?
 * Out!
 * Well, I did learn one thing: the word photosynthesis. It's my way in!
 * Do you even know what it means?
 * That's not the point. Like, why would you bother learning Australian when you can just wear the hat with the dangly cords and skip right to the good stuff?
 * Is Australian a language?
 * Hm. I guess we'll never know. Anyway, I'm gonna go talk to Leslie about sotophynthesis before I forget how to say it.
 * Photosynthesis.
 * Yep! Photosynthe-see you later!
 * Hm. I guess we'll never know. Anyway, I'm gonna go talk to Leslie about sotophynthesis before I forget how to say it.
 * Photosynthesis.
 * Yep! Photosynthe-see you later!

An Amazing Photosynthesis Session

 * Yeah, yeah, totally. It was an amazing photosynthesis session. You shoulda seen me, everyone was like, slow down, you're doin' it too hard, but I was like, nah, I'm in the zone! Yeah. Cool. Speak to you later, Darwin.


 * Calling Darwin.


 * Oh hey, Leslie! How's it growin', my man?

​​​​: So, you've been photosynthesizing? Isn't that more of a plant thing?


 * Yeah, but I just respect the plant culture so much I got into it, you know?

​​​​: Really?


 * Yeah, I've already done, like ppphhh, eight hours today.

​​​​: But the sun wasn't up eight hours ago.


 * Mmh. I got a method.

​​​​: Well, I was about to do some now, do you wanna join me?


 * Cool, yeah, count me in! I might just do mine in the shade, though.

​​​​: Hah! Nice one. Right. Let's face the sun full-on so we can really get into it!


 * Oh. Yeah, of course. It's gotta be in direct sunlight, I was just kidding. That was a joke I got from....uh, Photosynthesis Weekly! MONTHLY!!

​​​​: Oh, you read PM too? What did you think of the latest issue? Controversial, right?


 * I think...everything that can be said about it has been said!

​​​​: You're so right. Well, let's settle in, then.


 * Cool, cool.


 * Aaahh! Gotta love that heat, right?

​​​​: Ho-ho, you wait till it really kicks in at noon!


 * How long have we got now?

​​​​: 'Bout three minutes.


 * Hooooo!! Have you got any water?

​​​​: Sure! You gotta have water for the session, right? What are you doing? Plants drink like this! Ahhh. Allow me. Drink up!


 * Aaaaahhhhh!!

​​​​: I've gotta go. But a guy your size, you're gonna wanna stay out here for at least another couple of hours, right? Oh-okay, time for me to leaf! That's a plant joke, since I know you love plants so much. Ciao!


 * Joe, honey! Dinner's ready!


 * Did you have a nice day at school?


 * No. No, I did not.

Drawing A Line Under It

 * This was totally uncalled for!
 * Yes.
 * And you're sure only plants can photosynthesize?
 * Yes.
 * So he obviously knew, and he didn't tell me! He took it too far, right?
 * Yes. Can we please just go to sleep?
 * Sorry. It's hard to get comfortable when even your teeth have third-degree sunburns.
 * Look, you upset him and he got you back. Maybe you should just draw a line under it.
 * Oh, I'm going to draw a line under it alright.
 * Good. I feel like we're on different pages here.
 * No, no, draw a line under it, I get it, I understand. TO EMPHASIZE IT!!!
 * No, no, draw a line under it, I get it, I understand. TO EMPHASIZE IT!!!

It's a Plant Thing



 * Mind of I join you? BUDDY?


 * ​​​​​​​: Don't you usually have lunch with Darwin?
 * Oh, he had other plans, something to do with me going too far, people getting hurt, that sort of thing.
 * ​​​​​​: So you're not eating?
 * Oh, sure I am. I thought I thought I'd try some nice, fresh soil for lunch. 'Cuz that's what plants eat, right?
 * ​​​​​​: Oh, absolutely. We eat soil all the time.
 * Great. 'Cause I brought enough for two.
 * ​​​​​​: Yeah. Actually, I've already eaten.
 * No you haven't. I've been watching you for the last three hours and I'm absolutely sure you haven't had lunch. So tuck in.
 * ​​​​​​: Heh...
 * Unless this isn't a plant thing.
 * ​​​​​​: No, no! It's a plant thing!
 * Clumpy!
 * ​​​​​​: Well, you know what else is a plant thing?
 * Are you sure this is a plant thing?
 * ​​​​​​: 'Course! We get watered every day!
 * But does the pressure have to be so high?
 * ​​​​​​: Probably.
 * Dude! One at a time!
 * Luckily, all the evidence has been preserved, so this should be an open-and-check case. And that's lunch.
 * Ah, it's gonna take a miracle for me to finish this race! Ah, to heck with this.
 * Luckily, all the evidence has been preserved, so this should be an open-and-check case. And that's lunch.

 * Ah, it's gonna take a miracle for me to finish this race! Ah, to heck with this.
 * Ah, it's gonna take a miracle for me to finish this race! Ah, to heck with this.




 * Naw, it's a plant thing!


 * ​​​​​​​: But aren't they dangerous??


 * That's fine as long as you don't aggravate them. After all, Bees are just overweight wasps!




 * ​​​​​​​: Ahh! Aaah! Oh!.. AAAAHH!!!




 * Don't tell me. Plant thing?


 * ​​​​​​​: Guess so.




 * ​​: Plant thing?


 * ​​​​​​: Yeah.




 * ​:AAH! OKAY! I GIVE IN! I might not know anything about plants, but skydiving without a parachute is definitely NOT A PLANT THING!


 * ​​​​​​​​​: Aha! So you admit it! You DON'T know anything about plants!
 * Aha! So YOU admit that you were aware I didn't know anything about plants when you put me through all that stuff!
 * ​​​​​​: Aha! Then if you were aware that I knew that you knew that I was aware, why didn't you say anything?
 * Aha! Uh—no! Wait! I didn't follow any of that. Look, we'd better call a truce before this escalates any further!
 * ​​​​​​: Weed? Is that another plant joke?
 * What? No! Leslie, I'm sorry I called plants pointless.
 * ​​​​​​: And I'm sorry I made you stand waist-deep in fresh manure!
 * Friends?
 * ​​​​​​: 'Till the end!
 * Which, judging by the speed the ground is coming up, is in about five seconds.
 * Wow. Where did that come from?
 * ​​​​​​: I don't know. Plant thing, I guess.
 * Well, thanks for teaching me something new.
 * ​​​​​​: Yeah. I'm not really convinced you learned anything about plants, but I guess we better get out of here. I mean, you're gonna wanna go home and get milked, right?
 * Cool, cool. Wait, you think all mammals get milked?
 * ​​​​​​: Yeah. I'm not really convinced you learned anything about plants, but I guess we better get out of here. I mean, you're gonna wanna go home and get milked, right?
 * Cool, cool. Wait, you think all mammals get milked?
