runs him over. We now head to a hospital, where the Ant and Aardvark are, along with a dog, all of them with a broken paw. Not long later, a nurse (Athena Lorde) gives them breakfast, she gives the Ant a sugar cube, the dog a bone and the Aardvark a bowl of porridge. As soon as she leaves, the Aardvark tries the porridge and immediately spits it out. He then breaks the fourth wall again and informs the viewer how he feels and who does she think he is, "Goldilocks",and that anteaters only eat ants. The camera pans to the Ant still eating his sugar cube and the Aardvark says to the viewer, "And that's an ant." As he goes to eat the Ant, the dog starts barking at him and the Aardvark with a cane smacks the dog's injured paw. Then, we see the Ant still eating when the Aardvark appraoaches to eat him. The Ant replies, "You wouldn't eat an ant with a broken leg, would you?" To this, the Aardvark replies, "The cast will add roughage." The nurse hears what's going on, and as she heads to the room, the Aardvark rushes to his bed. When she enters, he pretends to be asleep. She rules, that her old ears are deciving her. As she leaves, the Aardvark proceeds to bother the Ant again, but the dog intefers and the Aardvark with the same cane proceeds to strike the dog's injured paw. But, the dog is smiling and not in pain, so the Aardvark tells the viewer, "You know something, I think he's dead." But the dog is alive and reveals a fake cast while his injured paw rest on the bed. The Aardvark replies, "AHA!" but the dog strikes him to the ground with the fake cast. The nurse claims she heard soemthing this time, the dog puts the Aardvark in his bed and then the nurse asks for silence seeing as how this is a hospital. The Aardvark then starts talking about the hospital when the dog knocks him out and he lands on his bed out cold, while the dog laughs.
Later, the Aardvark makes, a "way to communicate" to Charlie the Ant via straws. The ant starts to insult him, but the Aardvark eats him. Shortly, the nurse brings lunch, and when she doesn't see Charlie the Ant, and the Aardvark smacking his lips, she worries and takes him to have an X-Ray. After seeing the Ant in the X-Ray, she operates the Aardvark and then we see the aftermath, with Charlie eating the sugar cube and criticizing the Aardvark while the Aardvark complains about his pain. Then, we see them after being released and the nurse warns them to, "be careful", and then, the chase resumes and he eats him again, but he gets hit by the same van again. Back in the hospital, the Aardvark calls Charlie a jinx and he must eat him. Charlie doesn't like the sound of this. As the Aardvark goes, he complains to the dog, swating him again, but it's revealed the dog is gone and a rhino with a sore horn is there, and he says that he thinks he was the dog. The rhino goes after the Aardvark who tells the ant he has a feeling that he'll be back.
