No Speak Da Ed

"No Speak Da Ed" is the 7th episode of Season 5 and the 109th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, Ed's new pen pal has Rolf seeing nothing but red!

Plot
Eddy's latest scam of selling moon rocks (which are of course simply wads of well chewed, brightly painted, discarded bubble gum) to the kids at school doesn't seem to be making him rich fast enough and so the arrival of the Urban Rangers delivering the mail brings him some welcome relief. It isn't just any old post Rolf & company are doling out either, these letters are from overseas, the result of the penpals assignment for international studies. It's exciting stuff - Edd has a pal he's just dying to educate about Peach Creek, Eddy has a pal he's just dying to fleece and Ed has a pal who sends him the strangest gifts. And it's these gifts of Ed's that cause the problem because there's something about them and brings but the very worst in the normally mild-mannered Rolf. As poor Ed soon finds out, music may soothe the savage beast but a savage beast with a shepherd's crook and an attitude is going to need more than just a few bars from an old-world music box to set him straight again! Double D is puzzled by Rolf's inexplicably violent behavior towards Ed's bounty but can't give the matter his full attention due to the fact that he's also trying to keep an eye on greedy Eddy. Eddy meanwhile, is foisting moon rocks on his poor penpal and when he receives a Won-stuffed envelope back from Korea he thinks he's won at last!

The guy at the candy store takes a dim view of the foreign currency though and as Double D predicts, Eddy doesn't get as much as a sniff of a Jawbreaker. And as if that wasn't enough to spoil your day, Ed then manages to get himself kidnapped via some artfully placed chicken-bait! Who is the culprit, why Rolf of course, who then reveals himself to be even weirder than the Eds had previously suspected although even his Spanish inquisition-like efforts aren't enough to break down Ed's barriers of sheer stupidity! It all turns out okay in the end though for the Feather Duster of Tomfoolery is revealed and it's smiles all round as the Eds not Rolf go postal!

Rolf then sends the Eds inside a suitcase to Norway, and Double D and Eddy are complaining. But the real panic ensues when Ed says he has to go to the bathroom.

 * Rolf: [enraged and smashing Ed's old world music box] "A dog has raised his hind leg on the age of nevermore! Heed Rolf, do not get involved, ill-advised Ed Boy, lest your pomegranates shrivel at the cold of the Dark Sea!"

Edd: "Oh, there, there, Ed. I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation to Rolf's irrational behavior." Eddy: "So, what'd ya do this time, Ed? Put on his grandma's pantaloons again?"

Ed: [cheerfully] "Hi Rolf!" [many hours later, Edd & Eddy are half-asleep and Rolf looks like a wreck, but Ed is still Ed] Rolf: [wearily] "The Ed-Boy's fortitude is to be admired." Ed: [cheerfully] "Hi Rolf!" Edd: "For heaven's sake, Rolf! This was all a great misunderstanding." Eddy: "Yeah! How was we to know you were such a lily-livered, gutless doormat?!"

A feather duster, I'm sure I informed Gerta of mother's allergy to feathers." Rolf: "Oho! The feather duster of tomfoolery!" Eddy: "Hey, what's with you?"
