Uh-oh.
Uh, the hermit crab inside looks bigger too.
Whoa!
Easy, bruiser.
I didn't know you were in there.
(Grunting) Hey, Chris, check it out.
Hermit crabs use their claws to battle over territory.
Hoo-hoo!
Nice move.
Let me try.
(Grunting) Hey, come on, Martin.
Quit fooling around.
My shell's so tight I'm feeling the squeeze.
(Groaning) (Coughing) Uh, okay.
You win.
(Screaming) (Groaning) What in the creature world?
What are they lining up for?
I didn't know hermit crabs went to the movies.
Very funny, Martin.
They must be lining up for something.
Well, let's get in line and find out what.
Here's the end.
Now wait our turn.
Hey, no cutting.
Oh!
Oh, come on.
That's even worse than cutting.
I don't even know the rules to hermit crab line-ups.
I think I do.
The hermit crabs have organized themselves in a line from biggest to smallest.
JIMMY: Wow, cool!
But I'm confused.
Does this mean hermit crabs are very smart or very polite?
How and why would hermit crabs do this?
I guess we'll just have to wait in line and find out.
(Beeping) You won't have to wait long.
Something's happening.
This is unbelievable.
Hermit crabs line up to exchange shells?
Ha!
I never knew this was possible.
But now we have new awesome shells too.
The hermit crab shell exchange really works.
Yeah.
And now all we have to do is get back to normal size.
Got you covered.
