One at a Time

**One at a Time** is the 2nd episode of Series 1 of The Eggs.

## Plot

Scramble feels detained and says, "This is about as bad as it gets!" Sunnyside and Yolky give him more reasons to be sad, and Shelly cleans him up, causing him more stress. She follows suit with Yolky, but Benedict reminds him that he's already polished, cleaned and buffed. Scramble thinks that things couldn't get any worse, but Benedict says that they could and lists several bad things that could happen, causing Scramble to fart. He apologizes and says that it only happens when he's "SCARED OUT OF [HIS] SHELL!" Benedict says that they can be scared together, and Sunnyside agrees.

Benedict gives the eggs jobs: Sunnyside is in charge of the garden, Yolky has to check the engine room, and Scramble is on rubbish duty. Benedict says that he's the "soon-to-be scientist" of the group, as he's the only one who'll ever find out how to fix Shelly. Sunnyside admires his confidence, but Yolky can't stand it. Benedict proposes an impartial judge to determine the results, and Shelly says that it's time to clean, but Sunnyside, Yolky and Scramble insist it isn't.

Benedict introduces Eggor, his robotic exist. Once brought to life, Scramble asks for a "peanut butter sammich," and Benedict asks Eggor who would be the best leader of the group, and Eggor says that Benedict would be the best leader. The others are angry. Shelly tells them their mission is to boldly go where no eggs have gone before, but Sunnyside corrects her, saying that their mission is to collect new sounds and music.

The Eggs say their piece: "Fun for 1 is more for 4; off to explore!" Eggor says that they'll assist them if they need it, and they're off on their very first mission! They land on the Planet Monotogmous. The inhabitants introduce themselves as the Monos, and get very interested in something. They start eating Scramble's eggmobile, which makes Scramble very scared and angry, causing them to surround them. Benedict tells them not to make any sudden movements, but one of the Monos says that they each have one note only. Scramble calls them boring, which makes them angry. Then, he changes it to dull, so Yolky tells him that Scramble is trying to be funny... badly. She says that he really wants to know how they sing, but they don't know what it is, so they sing part of "Let's Sing Together" to him. They like it, but their stage seems to rumble. Their stage doesn't like sudden movements, and it turns out to be an Arble! Benedict tells Scramble to be nice so they have a better chance of going home, but the Monos won't let them go home until they tell them how to sing. Yolky tells them to try singing, but they keep singing the same note. They can't sing with more than one note, and Scramble tries to escape, but the Monos are insistent. Benedict thinks it's just not possible, but the Monos are angry, so they eat Yolky's eggmobile! Yolky is sad, and Sunnyside says they'll agree to help them learn.

They're each taught how to sing with the line, "It's a beautiful day and we're feeling okay." The results cost them their smiles. Scramble says that it was catchy, and wants to run away really fast. The Monos remind them of their agreement, and Sunnyside says that some people just can't sing and suggests knitting. The Monos, are furious and make Scramble nervous, which makes him fart. They run, but they're guarded and get around to eating Benedict's eggmobile! They insist on singing, and Scramble says, "So you say." Yolky and Sunnyside can't hear him because the Monos are so loud when they talk together. Benedict gets and idea! They know how to help them sing, and Benedict says that they can learn how to sing together. Benedict has a plan...

They line the Monos up in order of their note so that each of them gets to sing one word each. As a result, when it all joins up, they'll all sing the song together. Scramble doesn't really think this will work, and tells Benedict that if this doesn't work, they'll eat their last eggmobile and they're stuck on Mono forever, but looks at us with a blunt, "No pressure." Benedict is holding a bone and instructs the Monos, "AS I POINT TO EACH OF YOU, YOU SING THE WORD YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN!" The others get scared. Yolky crosses her fingers, and as Benedict points to each of them, that's exactly what they do. Benedict then smiles, and they're all proud of how it turns out. Yolky records these sounds. Benedict thinks that's their cue to leave.

Now, they're all cramped up in Sunnyside's eggmobile (the only one the Monos didn't eat) on the way back to Shelly. Yolky tells Scramble not to get nervous, but Scramble says that he's too squashed to do so. They all laugh. Back on Shelly, Eggor welcomes them back on their first mission. Benedict says that they barely made it, and Scramble says that he'll be staying home and watching TV if that's what there is to missions. Benedict orders three new eggmobiles. Eggors that it will be his pleasure. Sunnyside is pleased with Eggor's politeness and tells him that singing will be her pleasure. They all sing, "Let's Sing Together."
