(gasps) - We've got a BIG PROBLEM!

So to figure out who did it, let's ask everyone one at a time!
Was it you, Connie?
- No!
- Viv?
- No!

- Hm.
I know I didn't do it.
So that just leaves...Big Mouth?

- Mm, mm.
- On his planet he just goes wherever he feels like it.
- Mm hmm!
- But on this planet, where you make potty is a really big deal.
- It's huge with us.
- I've been really looking forward to your visit.
But if you can't control where you go potty, you just can't stay with me... - Or me!
- WAAAAAAA!
- WAAAAA!
- Big Mouth and the Neighbor Ladies have a REALLY BIG-- - PROBLEM!
- GROBLEM!
- But we can solve it with potty training!
- Rotty raining?
- Don't worry, Big Mouth.
Learning how to go on the potty is a problem everybody faces, and everybody solves.
- Rrrr.
- Peg had that problem herself a few years ago!
Ha!
Ha!
- She was one stinky toddler!
- Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
- But I'm not stinky now, - (Big Mouth): Mm mm.

- The Butter Problem!
- Moo?
- Oink?
(country music) - The farm!
Known for its corn, wheat, the occasional rutabaga.
But today the farm is all about... - Butter!
- I'm Peg, this is Cat, and we're here on the farm for the All Valley Butter Sculpting Contest!
- Butter!
- That's right, we'll be making sculptures, not out of clay or blocks, but out of-- - Butter?
Really?!
- Don't worry, Cat.
The Farmer's going to show us everything we need to know about molding butter, so we can be better butter sculpting champions!
- It doesn't get any butter than that!
Ha!
Ha!
- Help!
Somebody!
- Farmer!
What are you doing up there?
- While I wuz buildin' this stage for the contest, I got m'self into a real predicament.
Now if I move, the whole ding dang thing's gonna fall apart!
So I need you to bring me just the right piece from that pile, to take m' place up here!
- There are so many pieces in this pile!
I have no idea which piece we need.
- Me neither!
- I've never built a stage before!
I've got a BIG PROBLEM!
- ME TOO!
- Cool yer jets now, Peg.
Yuh know how to put together puzzles, right?
- We're really good with puzzles.
But what's that got to do with building a stage?
- Sometimes you can use what you know about doin' one thing, to solve a problem that involves somethin' else.
- You mean, we can use our awesome puzzle skills to find the right piece to fit the wall!
- Good thinking, Farmer!
- And you thought I was some goofy ol' chicken chaser.
I got farm smarts.
Ow.
- With puzzles, we focus on the shape of the space we need to fill.
So here we need to fill the space the Farmer's in.
- He's shaped ... like this ... - This has one, two, three, four lines.
The shape we're looking for just has one, two.
- Oh.
- This has one, two lines.
- But one line crosses on top of the other.
We need two lines crossing in the middle.
- Hm... That's it!
- Huh?
- You found the exact shape that goes up there!
And so... ♪♪ Problem solved ♪ ♪ The problem is solved ♪ ♪ We solved the problem ♪ - Yee-haw-whoa-oh-oh!
- ♪ Problem solved!
♪♪ - Now I can show you two the secret to making a prize-winnin' butter sculpture!
- Butter late than never!
Who's funny?!
This guy!
- Butter!
- Yaaa!
- No!
- Phew!
Uh oh.
- I'll have to get right to work to have it all fixed up in time for the contest.
So I won't have time to teach you how to make butter sculptures.
- But if you can't show us how to make a butter sculpture we don't have a chance of winning the contest!
We've got a REALLY BIG-- - No no no, ya got no problem at all!
- This here book tells everything ya need to know about butter sculpting.
- A book that holds the secrets to butter sculpting?
This is the coolest thing since-- - Teenagers!
- G2G... - That means "gotta go".
- MMBAS... - ..."to make mind-blowingly awesome sculptures"!
- OODP!
- "...out of dairy products"!
The Teens are going to be in the butter sculpting contest!
- Ya-ho Peg!
- Did you come to watch us make mind blowingly awesome butter sculptures?
- Actually, Cat and I are going to make butter sculptures ourselves!
- Ah, mind-blowingly awesome ones, in fact!
- You two know how to make butter sculptures?
- Sure, you start out by, uh ... milking a cow?
I mean, building a scarecrow... - One milking a cow sculpture coming right up.
Just give me one... make it four, no five minutes ...
There we go.
- This book only shows how to do farm chores!
- And these butter bricks are totally frozen!
- Uh, Cat and I just need a second to, uh-- - Run and hide in shame!
- Totally!
- Ow!
- There's nothing about butter in this whole book!
The farmer gave us the wrong book!
- Uh, also, the barn door is stuck.
- How could things possibly get worse?
- Oink!
- If we had garbage stuck to our face.
- Oink!
- Poor Hog!
You got into some really sticky stuff!
- It should come right off with just a little soap-- - Or not.
- I think the farmer's book has a page about washing a hog... - Oink?
- This diagram shows that we need to add two cups of water to one bar of soap.
- Oh, Hog - a diagram's a picture that shows you how to do something.
- Oink.
- ♪♪ Take one bar of soap ♪ ♪ Then add first cup, second cup ♪ - ♪ The soap's nice and bubbly ♪ ♪ Gonna scrub you up ♪ - ♪ You'll be clean to the tip of your nose ♪ ♪ Cause we did what the diagram shows ♪♪ - Oink!
- That means "thank you" in hog.
- Rockin!
- And that means "we're having an incredible time" in teen.
- They're making stuff with those great big butter bricks!
And we're stuck in a barn with a hog.
- Mooooo!
- And a really unhappy Cow!
- Moooooo!
- You gotta go to the bathroom?
- Mooo!
- In all the excitement about the contest, the Farmer forgot to milk you!
- MoooOOOoooOOO!
- Uh...
The milk isn't coming out.
This cow is broken!
- Hm, the milk will come out just fine, according to this diagram.
If we push up, pull down, push up, then spin the tray around to fill up the next bottle.
- All right!
And a one and a two and a... - ♪♪ Up, down, up, around ♪ - ♪ Up, down, up, around ♪ - ♪ The milk is coming!
- Look how it flows ♪ - ♪ If we do what the ♪ ♪ Diagram shows ♪♪ - Happy now, Cow?
- Moooo!
- (the Teens): All right!
(electric guitar sounds) - Whoa!
The Teens made those butter bricks into super soft buttery heaps, perfect to make incredible enormous sculptures!
- I can't see!
- Now I can't see!
- Oof!
- Woah!
- We're outside!
- And out of control!
- Scarecrow!
- No!
Um, it WAS a scarecrow.
- We better fix it fast, or the crows'll eat all the farmer's corn!
- Scary?
Huh?
Terrifying?
(crows laughing) Or just funny... - According to this diagram, to make a scarecrow, we should look at the way the parts of a real farmer fit together ... and copy that.
- So... ♪♪ The arm goes on the shoulder ♪ - ♪ And down just a little ♪ - ♪ The head goes way on top ♪ - ♪ Right in the middle ♪ - ♪ Now let's see if it can scare some crows ♪ ♪ Since we've done what the ♪ ♪ Diagram shows ♪♪ - Save us from that horrible monster!
- Hoo-ee!
That scarecrow is one handsome feller!
- So this has some really nice pictures but it was kinda totally the wrong book!
And meanwhile look at what the teens have been making!
- A giant pizza!
- A giant cell phone!
A giant trapezoid bag?!
- Each butter than the last!
- Ramone's starting to judge the butter sculptures, to pick the winner!
- Come on, butter!
We gotta make you into something!
- Anything!
- Now!
- We have no idea what we're doing!
We just know how to wash a hog, milk a cow, and build a scarecrow!
We don't know a single thing about making butter sculptures!
I am TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!
(whistle blows) - Farmer's right.
I should count backwards from five to calm down.
- Nope!
You should wash the hog.
- I can't wash the hog now!
I need to figure out how to make a butter sculpture.
- You already know how, Peggy.
Yuh just don't know you know.
- What's he talking about?
- No idea.
- It's like what I told ya before!
Sometimes you can use what you know about doin' one thing to solve a problem that involves somethin' else.
- Like when we fixed the stage using what we knew about doing puzzles.
- Oh right... - You can soften these butter bricks by usin' what you know about hog washin'!
- So we should... ♪♪ Add water to the butter ♪ ♪ One cup, then two ♪ - ♪ The butter's nice and soft ♪ - ♪ All right!
- Woo hoo ♪ - ♪ Now milk the Cow ♪ - Now?!
Just when we were starting to get somewhere... - No, Cat!

You're not saying we should REALLY build a scare crow, are you?
- He's saying that to make a butter sculpture, we should look really carefully at the thing we're trying to copy.
- Hell-O!
- Hell-o-o-O!
- Whoa.
You guys really do know how to make butter sculptures!
- We just didn't know we knew what we know.
No?
- But since we used farming skills and diagrams, we're totally set to sculpt some butter!
