The Duct Tape Kingdom is farther away than I thought.
You guys want to pull over and stretch our legs?
Nah, let's keep going.

Look at all the animals!

A-Animals? Uh, wha--
Oh, man! I'm gonna pet every single one!
Wait, Ben, I-I don't think that's such a good idea!
[ Ben sneezes ]
Uh, it's okay.
I must have grown out of all those allergies by now!
Oh, Ben.
You should probably leave the animals alone.
I said I'm fine!
[ Sneezes ] [ Cat yowls ]
Ugh.
I don't think you and pets are a good match, kiddo.
[ Sniffles ] This isn't fair.
I'd be the best pet owner ever.
Pets are a lot of work, Ben.
It might look like it's all fun and games,
but you still have to feed them, train them,
not to mention clean up after them.
Hard work. [ Chuckles ]
Especially when you're just as allergic to chores as animals.
That was a low blow, Grandpa.
At least you do a great job
taking care of the pet germs in your stinky socks!
Ugh!
Why doesn't anyone think I can handle a real pet?!
You have to admit you aren't the best
about cleaning up your messes.
That's because I'm cleaning up everyone else's messes
with my awesome alien Omnitrix that I use perfectly
because I'm very responsible!
So does that mean you'll help us tidy up the Rustbucket?
Ben?
Four Arms: Cleaning up messes.
[ Scoffs ] Just watch.

Responsible. [ Mumbling, scoffing ]
"Got to tidy up." I'll show you.
If it wasn't for these allergies, I'd show 'em.
I'd be great with pets.

Ohh!
I don't know who you are,

You're like a, uh... ca-ca-ca...
Ca-do-bbit! Dang, I'm smart.
Ha! That's three pets in one!
Hey, I'm not sneezing!
My aliens must not be allergic to you.
[ Laughing ]
[ Purring ] My allergies! No!
Am I not allergic to you?
Only one way to find out.

Yep, all clear!
Come here, little guy!
I bet a mega-pet like you can do three times as many tricks!

I finally found a pet I can hug without sneezing,

XLR8. Hmm.
You're fun and smart!
Well, it was Ben's turn to cook,
but it looks like we may have dodged a bullet.
You think he's okay?
Well, as soon as he can breathe again without sneezing,
he'll realize we're right.

This place is spotless.
I like this more chore-positive Ben a lot.

Nope. Same amount of weirdness.

Okay, kids.
Who's ready for a good old fashioned

Top ya off?
Ah, thanks.
Nice of you to join us.
Ha ha ha ha ha! Good one, Grandpa!
So what exactly were you doing in there?
Oh, very responsible things.
Really? Like what?
Uh, you know, turning out the lights,
checking the stove,
sorting the recyclables.
Oh, wow!
Look at those cool desserts
that are over there in that direction!
Anyway, yeah, responsible stuff like that.
If I didn't know better,
I'd call those pet owner qualifications.
Mm, I don't think so.
[ Screeches ] Why not?
Ben, even if you did have your allergies under control,
pets are living animals, they're full-time commitments.
Oh!
Aha!
Sorry about that. Sun in my eyes.
Sun? But it's after 8 P...M.

You're a coward, Animo.
You make monsters to do your dirty work.
My greatest joy in life is experimenting on animals.
I know. It seems strange

Huh?
What do you think, Grandpa?
Pretty responsible how I handled that, huh?
Hey! Come back!
Ben, Animo didn't make him to be a pet.
Besides, he wouldn't be happy

So what do we do with him?
See, Ben? This place is perfect!
Yeah. He sure looks happy.
It's the responsible thing to do.
