♪ The Ruff Ruffman Show!

With Blossom and Chet.

Yeah!

♪ ♪ Oh, hi!

Are you hankering for food made by a dog?

Then call Ruffet, Ruff Ruffman's new food delivery service.

SCRUFF: Not so fast, brother.

My identical twin brother, Scruff!

What are you doing in a chef's hat?

I have my own food service-- Scruffet.

It's like a buffet, but, you know, with more Scruff.

(iBone ringing) Hello, Scruffet.

Hello, Ruffet.

Oh.

We only meant to call Ruff.

Yeah, I borrowed my brother's phone number for my own company.

That's why I'm being double charged!

So we're having a party tomorrow for a good friend.

We'll need an appetizer, two main courses, dessert, and after-dinner entertainment.

Leave it all to Ruffet!

No, leave it to Scruffet.

Did I mention that I wash my hands?

RUFF: Really?

SCRUFF: Sometimes.

Well, we could hire both of you.

BOTH: Both?

So you guys are going to make the food that we need, and we'll choose whose is most delicious.

Yeah, and then we're going to tell all of our friends whose food is better.

You're on!

Let's do this.

For the appetizers... We made a sign.

RUFF: Nice sign.

GIRL: We need refreshing popsicles.

BOY: And they can be any fruit flavor.

Popsicles?

My specialty.

No, it isn't.

It's my specialty.

Coming right up, guys.

Okay, good luck, guys.

Yep, good luck.

All right, Chet, Blossom, popsicles.

We've all had them, but what exactly are they?

Hmm.

Flavored ice on a stick.

Chet, bring me a block of ice and a crate of oranges.

Blossom, sticks.

Good job, Chet.

Okay, here's the plan.

You and Blossom squeeze those oranges for juice while I carve popsicles out of this ice.

And we'll jab the sticks in, dip them in juice, and we're all set.

Go!

Okay.

Can't seem to get my...

Okay, this is not working.

(iBone ringing) Hi, this is Ruff, from Ruffet.

What's up, Ruff?

Popsicles-- they are impossible!

They're too hard to carve.

And for some reason, my block of ice is turning into a puddle!

Hold on.

Ruff, the reason why your ice is melting is because the kitchen is warmer than the ice.

RUFF: What?

BOY: Look, Ruff-- this used to be liquid water.

But we froze it, and now it's become ice.

See, if I keep it in my hand long enough, it'll start melting, because my hand is warmer than the ice.

What do you mean?

Ruff, you can turn water into ice by making it so cold that it freezes.

Oh, like the time my water bowl got left outside in the middle of January.

You can get ice by freezing water-- of course!

Maybe instead of starting with ice, I can start with juice and turn it into popsicles by freezing it.

But how?

The freezer?

Wait, you can freeze food in there?

Oh.

Huh.

I always thought it was just a place for Chet's arctic diorama.

But now your popsicles will be ready in no time.

Good luck, Ruff.

Thanks, guys.

So, we'll pour the orange juice into these cups, cover with plastic wrap, poke sticks in, and now we just have to wait.

(ticking) (ding) Hah!

Solid ice-- awesome.

We are so ready for tomorrow's party.

(yawns) All right, cooks, good job.

Let us get some well-deserved sleep.

(yawning) (snoring) (yawning) (screaming) Chet, Blossom, where are my popsicles?

They were right here!

There's just a lot of sticks in puddles of OJ!

Hey, guys!

Oh, oh, hey, sorry to call you so early.

Got a little bad news.

Someone did something to the popsicles.

What happened?

Well, I left the popsicles out on the counter last night, and-and...

Wait-- you left them out of the freezer?

Yeah, but that's not the point.

Ruff, you froze the orange juice into popsicles, but then it unfroze.

You can freeze a liquid by making it cold.

But when it becomes warm again, it'll unfreeze or melt.

Well, okay, that makes sense, but now what?

The party is this afternoon, and I'm out of oranges!

Do you have any other liquids you could freeze?

RUFF: Well, let me check.

Oh, no, just a big container of leftover tomato soup that Blossom made.

Will that work?

It is a liquid.

Yeah, but we said fruit flavor.

RUFF: Fruit flavor?

Well, what do you know!

Tomatoes are a fruit.

And if I freeze it now, it'll be ready just in the nick of time.

Blossom, Chet, hurry-- we've got tomato soup-sicles to make.

Ruff and Scruff, we got your popsicle deliveries.

Okay, we'll try Scruff's first.

SCRUFF: Good, huh?

Ugh!

Oh, that tastes bad.

SCRUFF: Drat.

Uh.

All right, Ruff, we're going to try yours now.

RUFF: Ha-ha, this should be an easy win.

Uh-oh, that's not a happy face.

That's pretty bad, but it's not as bad.

RUFF: Not as bad-- still a win.

Definitely better than Scruff's, which kind of tasted like mustard.

Yep, pineapple and mustard popsicles.

Because everything tastes better with mustard.

Especially mustard!

So the winner of round one is Ruffet.

Ah, drat.

Yes!

Well, I wouldn't celebrate yet, brother.

Scruffet is just getting started.
