Other dub names: Bubble or Nothing (4Kids)
Carlin plays the piano with Dokko as an audience. When he finishes playing, Dokko tells him that his music was so good that if he had liquid soap in his glass instead of tea, he would drink it and not notice. Carlin likes his compliment, but notes that the soap part is an exaggeration - soap can be distinguished by taste, and no one in their right mind would drink/eat it. Dokko insists that this is theoretically possible. Then Carlin gives him a bar of soap and tells Dokko that he will get the piano for eating it. Dokko laughs at first, but suddenly starts eating soap and washing it down with tea.
While proven that he can eat soap on principle and won the piano, Dokko is not feeling well, and has bubbles coming out of his mouth. Carlin doesn't take his loss well either: he draws piano keys on a blackboard and tries to sing and play, trying to imitate him still having a piano, but it lacks sound. Meanwhile, Dokko puts the piano near the house and starts playing it. He is not good at music, and Carlin doesn't like the way he handles the instrument. Dokko reminds him that he ate a piece of soap and that piano only belongs to him. Carlin makes another deal: he also eats a bar of soap and returns the piano to himself.
Carlin can now play the piano again, but like his friend, he has soap bubbles coming out of his mouth. Dokko notices that nothing has changed, except for the fact that they both ate soap.
Tropes:
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: After winning the piano by eating a soap bar, Dokko addresses the audience to Don't Try This at Home.
- Calling Your Nausea: Carlin's reaction when Dokko eats soap.
- Classical Music: Carlin sings an aria from "Figaro".
