Okay, kids. We're here. Yes, finally!
The world capital of pizza!
Ben, Italy has more to offer than just great food
like the famous Piazza Navona.
Well, seems like a good place as any to park.
Uh, Grandpa, I don't know if this is safe.
Oh, ah, you're right, Gwen.
[ Beep! ] [ Blinkers clicking ]
There. Now let's track down some grub.
What about the culture and the history?
Grub first!
Okay. Look sharp.
We're out to find the world-famous pizzeria
of Mario Pelizzoli.
We're in the city of Caravaggio and Bernini,
and you guys just want to stuff your faces?
Chill out, Gwen.
This place is super old.
It's been around for, like,
probably 100 years.
It's not going anywhere,
but the sweet fleeting taste
of the perfect pizza,
it's once in a lifetime.
Sorry, Gwen. I'm with Ben on this one.
But Rome has thousands of years of history
and culture to explore.
Its cuisine is just scratching the surface.
There's just a lot more to the city than meets the eye.
Eh, I don't do well with common sense, Gwen.
Oh, Ben, maybe you could use one of your aliens
to help track down Pelizzoli's.
But -- but...
I have just the alien for the job.
Okay. You follow Rath, and Rath will follow his nose.
Ben, wait up!

Ben, you managed to scare away all the customers.
Oh. [ Chuckles ] Sorry.
Well, on the bright side, there's no more line.
Let's go, Ben.
Unbelievable.

I hope you're enjoying your meal.

The bug brothers?!
What nasty plot are you scheming up this time?
No schemes.
We are but humble chefs nowadays.
We said so long to the life of crime.
Now please enjoy your meal.
How are we supposed to do that if we know we're paying
for pizza made by cockroaches, criminal cockroaches no less?
For you, the first round of slices are on the house
just to show there are no hard feelings.
Free pizza, huh?
Let me think about it.
Okay!
Shall we?

Mmmmmmm.
Hmm.

Ben, don't you think there's something going on here?
Hm? I mean, they're giving us free pizza.

Maybe we should just snoop around a little bit.
Okay. Okay.
Uh, excuse me.
I need to use the little hero's room.
Um, hello?

I knew you were up to something.
What are you talking about?
Oh, you messed with the pizza.
-Now you got to pay the price. -Wait!
Before you pummel us, don't you want to hear our plan?
Talk fast, bug head.
The plan was beautiful in its simplicity.
You see, we hijacked the famous pizzeria
distracting everyone around, even the guards at the Pantheon.
While everyone is distracted, we sneak out the back,
shrink the Pantheon with our shrink ray,
and make off like bandits.
Next stop, Vegas, baby!
Then we turn the Pantheon into our very own hotel,
making us filthy rich!
Hmm, sounds kind of familiar.
Yeah, and we're going to get away with it this time.
Hey!
All I had to do was monologue
till your alien gizmo ran out of juice.
Ugh!
Get ready, Pantheon. You're about to be me-sized.
Let's go, Sydney.
Wow, their plan is working.
They must have learned something for once.
Alien or no alien,
I'm not letting them get away.
Come on, Gwen.
My distraction plan actually worked!
[ Chattering ]
Oh, who cares if it was your tape recorder?
That doesn't make it 50 percent of your plan.

Well, I had to buy a new tape
because yours had sad poetry on it.

You almost made me drop our cash cow!

Nice try, fettu-weenies!
We can't let them get away.
I could stop them if the watch was timed in.
We can still catch up.
Uh, taxi, taxi.
Hmm, rude.
Oh, taxi.
Taxi!
Really?

I'm taking the scooter taxi.
Aw.

My watch could time in at any second.
You guys try and meet up with me there.

Come on, Gwen.
Oh, check out this old-school taxi car from the '70s.
In order to get into the back seat,
you have to fold the front one down.
Seems like poor design.

Just like the old times, crawling in the back seat.

Once we open our Bug Bros hotel,
the money will come pouring in!

We have scooters this time.

Well, Ben, I hope you learned a valuable lesson.
Yeah, Ben. You have to be more self-aware.
What are you guys talking about?
I didn't even do anything wrong.
Oh, I guess you're right.
Yeah. We must be so used to you always screwing up.

Whatever, it's just a fountain.
It's not just a fountain.
Every night, they collect the coins from it
and use it to feed those in need,
and there's so much more than that!
And apparently only one person who cares about it.

to return to Rome safely.

Wait, what are you even doing here?
We literally just put you in jail.
Does it really matter?
Of course it does. It's a crime!
Just leave me alone.
How about I take you back where you belong?
Where's Sydney? He's always with you.
Huh, I don't see him around.
Who needs him?
I can get by just fine without him.

Did you two have a fight?
Everyone always sides with Sydney.
He's not any better than me.
I'm the brains of this operation.
What are you going on about?
It was late at night.
I, being the genius I am,
was working on my next invention.
Sydney was, ugh, writing another one of his novels.
Wait, Sydney writes?
If you could call it writing!
As I was saying, I was lost in my next invention
when a loud explosion caught my attention.
I saw a shadowy figure and Sydney
getting up to leave with it.
Sounds to me like he was taken.
And that's it. Now leave me be.
Well, I think we should help them.
What?
Huh? They're the bad guys, remember?
I remember, but even a bad guy deserves to be given a chance.
Besides, do you really think
he's gonna cause trouble in the state he's in?
Ugh. All right, Grandpa.
We'll help him out. Right.
First, we should figure out where Sydney is.
Maybe we can fly around Rome to get a look around?

Yeah, but I can do that and soak in the sights at the same time.
It's a win-win.
You brats just won't listen.
Sydney wanted to leave.
After all the nasty things I've done to him,
I'm surprised he didn't run off sooner.
Pfft. You're not -- Well, okay.
You're a pretty awful person, but so is Sydney, right, Ben?
Oh, totally. You guys are equally terrible.
Wow. You really think so?
I guess that big lug and I have been through a lot together,
though he never remembers to recharge
the shrink ray after our heists,
and he always eats crunchy snacks
late at night while I'm trying to sleep.
Then the crumbs get everywhere!
I hate crumbs! And I hate Sydney!
Good riddance! Who needs him?
Wow. I knew you were close, but that was a bit too much info.

What gave you that idea?
Call it a hunch. It doesn't make sense.
Maurice said that Sydney went off with a shadowy figure,
but clearly Queen Bee isn't any bigger
than Sydney if not shorter.
You're right. Not to mention
it doesn't seem like Sydney wants to be there.
Poor guy. You're kidding me.
He obviously wants to be there.
All he ever wanted was to write novels.
I only ever let him because it was a great source of income.
Well, I'm going down there.
