Um, uh, let me just say this, um…
CABINET APPROVAL RATING PLUMMETS
I have, uh…
nothing more to say.
-Thank you. -One more question!
Prime minister! Wait!
Prime Minister Sasagawa had no comment
regarding the recent dramatic drop in his approval rating.
If his ratings drop just one percentage point more,
he will officially become the most unpopular leader this country…
There's me! There I am!
Wow! I'm famous now.
GUDETAMA: AN EGGCELLENT ADVENTURE
That's him, right? That man on the TV?
At one o'clock, you have a courtesy visit from Ambassador Broccoli.
Then at two o'clock, there's a reception and photo op with the Spinach Girls.
And at five o'clock, you'll be attending dinner at a hotel with King Radish.
Okay, I think I got it all.
-I have to eat Broccoli? -That's correct, sir.
The spinach too?
-And the radish as well? -That's right, sir.
Pretend they taste good.
Oh, actually, you can skip the radish.
Wow! He's such an important person!
Prime ministers are cool.
Look at that big desk he's got.
He must be the most important person in the whole country,
maybe the whole world.
Shakipiyo?
Hm?
Remind me how we got here again.
-Run away! Run away! -Whoa!
2 HOURS EARLIER
OKI SUSHI
I'll get you, you talking egg!
See this?
I think it's a map that will show us where Mommy is.
We just have to crack the secret code.
Secret code, huh?
-The prime minister should resign! -Huh?
Resign!
Down with Sasagawa!
-Down with Sasagawa! -Let's go before we get stepped on.
-He should resign now! -Resign now!
Resign!
Ta-da!
-Down with Sasagawa! -Hm?
-Resign now! -What the heck is this?
Resign now!
-Down with Sasagawa! -Oh, here he comes.
Whoa!
Down with the administration!
-Resign! -Resign!
And that's how we ended up here.
But now we've got to get out of here and find our mommy.
Yay.
Ah!
What a drag.
I'm with you there.
Yeah, you feel the same way.
Oh yeah.
I know, huh?
You're…
You're not trying to capture us, are you?
No. Why would I do that?
Wow, I must be really worn out
because that's when I start seeing things.
What things?
-Things like you. -Things like us.
If you're the most important person in the world,
I'm scared for the world.
You might think it's easy being the prime minister,
but it's not.
I have a lot of grown-up responsibilities.
Really?
Rolling around on the sofa and whining
doesn't seem like a very grown-up thing to do.
No, I'm talking about…
…like, my approval rating. It's gotten really low.
One point lower and I'll be the lowest ever.
That's a stressful situation.
Who cares if you're the lowest ever?
Well, I do.
Why do you care?
Well, you know…
Uh, because I just do, okay?
Because I just do! Is that so hard to understand?
You're kind of acting like a child.
I didn't even want this stupid job.
No use crying over spilled milk.
You don't think I know that?
It's easy to say, but it still kind of hurts, you know?
It's like I'm being told that everything I'm doing is worthless.
I don't know.
Who gets to say what you're worth?
The people decide what the prime minister's worth is.
Shouldn't you be the one who decides?
I used to think so… back in the day.
The whole reason I first ran for office
was to make a difference, to make people's lives better.
Swim. Swim.
I was a fledgling young politician just hatched from my egg.
You, my friend, are lucky.
Unlike me, you haven't turned rotten yet.
You've just come out of your shell.
You can still be whatever you want.
You think?
Whatever you want.
You can be an omelet.
A fried egg sandwich on rye.
-A frittata scrambled with onions. -Ah.
You can be anything.
Well…
…it's too late for you to be hard-boiled, I guess.
You've inspired me.
All right, I'll try.
What?
I'll try being prime minister.
Huh?
GUDETAMA
I think I can do this.
We won! Yay!
I don't believe it.
This shows how strongly I believe in government transparency.
Whoa!
-Transparency?! -Very bold.
It's really just semitransparent.
-Isn't that just a raw egg? -Swim.
-Prime minister!
What are your thoughts on approval ratings?
I don't care about approval ratings and all that stuff.
In other words, you're going to pursue your vision no matter what?
What you just said,
that's what I always wanted to be,
a prime minister who believes in himself.
-Soy sauce. -Oh, of course.
Swim.
Maybe I'm not as… rotten as I thought.
If I can just
find the strength to believe in myself again as a politician and as a man,
maybe I might just have a chance.
Okay, I'm sold. Let's trade places.
-Huh?! -What?!
Prime Minister Gudetama resigned today,
reportedly due to ill health.
And Deputy Prime Minister Sasagawa was immediately appointed prime minister.
Many critics had recently expressed the view
that Gudetama is merely a raw egg,
and there is some speculation that this criticism might have been
what led to the short life of the administration.
You've taught me an important lesson:
to work harder as prime minister,
but to do it in my own style
and my own way.
Is that really the important lesson you were teaching?
Oh, and listen.
Take my advice, egg.
Don't let yourself get rotten like I did.
Keep an eye on your expiration date.
Expiration date?!
Are you gonna rot?
Yeah. Well, eventually. It's only a matter of time.
Seriously?
I shouldn't have wasted so much time on the campaign trail.
Prime Minister.
Sir, we have a few changes to the schedule.
Prime Minister?
Sir?
Are you here?
-Help! Security -In my own style…
What is it?
It looks like he's collapsed.
Oh…
Was it you who did this to him?
-I suppose so, yes. -What?!
You admit it, huh?
You're under arrest.
Piyo!
We can't be arrested.
We've got to go on our quest to find Mommy!
Wah!
Oh no!
Gudetama!
