Ed, Ed and Away

"Ed, Ed and Away" is a season 3 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which the Eds try to catch a red balloon after scamming Kevin.

Plot
Krazy Ed's Custom Hot Bikes is open for business and even Kevin can't fail to be impressed by what's on offer … until he test drives what's on offer that is and painfully discovers that Krazy's Ed's wares are not all they're cracked up to be. Kevin's mad and he wants revenge, the Eds have wasted his time yet again … payback in kind is due.

As the Eds are left glumly contemplating yet another financial failure the arrival of an errant red balloon lends some welcome relief. Ed wants to play with it, Double D is moved by it and Eddy of course just wants to pop it - but of course they have to catch it first and its not as easy as you'd think! The balloon leads them into a merry chase around the cul-de-sac, up and over Rolf's farm, down dead ends and slap bang into the middle of Sarah and Jimmy's airplane game. Just when they think they're never going to catch it, the scarlet wanderer is finally snagged and popped by Sarah and it's too much for Eddy. If anyone's going to pop that balloon it's going to be him! The downhearted Eds are finally lifted up again when they take notice of another balloon that was set free into the air. And now, yet another balloon chase begins as Kevin sits back, laughs, and prepares to set loose another balloon for the Eds to follow.

Quotes
Kevin: [throws bike pedal at Eddy] "I'll get you dork!" [turns around to reveal scratched back] "After I find some ointment! Ouch!" Eddy: "What's with him? I did everything my dad does, how come he sells stuff? Maybe it's the tie." Edd: "Well, it certainly couldn't be that we manufactured the bike from HAND-ME-DOWN KITCHENWARE! Ten hours of hard work! And for what?" Ed: "To fleece the masses!" Eddy: "Check's in the mail, Ed." Edd: "It's the same thing! Day in and day out! It's so monotonous! A pipedream, at best." Ed: "You are not alone, my friend. I dream of pipes too." Eddy: "Boy, Ed, who'd have thought?"
 * Eddy: "Hey, Kev, what'd I tell ya? Is it hot or what?"

Ed: "Fly Nazz, fly!" [throws Nazz up in the air] Eddy: "She didn't even make a grab for it!" Ed: "Your turn, Eddy." Eddy: "Get away from me, Ed!" [Ed pulls Eddy's key chain on his pants]
 * Nazz: "Hey guys, what's up?"


 * Edd: [Ed twists Eddy's hair and makes him fly off] "Remind me to ask you how you did that, Ed."


 * Eddy: [flying, as his hair twirls like a helicopter] "This better not mess up my hair, Ed!"

Ed: [chicken flies over them] "CHICKEN!" [pig flies over them] "PIG!" [they run into a cow] "Cow…" Rolf [his cow tips over on to him as he calls for medical assistance]: "Mama! A bandage for Rolf!" [gets crushed by his cow] Eddy: [running] "Hurry up, it's getting away!" Edd: [also running] "Excuse me, Rolf." Ed: [also running] "What'd ya do, Double D?" Rolf: [sighs] "Never again will Rolf store house keys in his trouser pockets."
 * [the Eds are running]


 * Edd: [holding up a magazine] "Um, excuse me, Sarah. You wouldn't happen to have a more current issue?"
