"Chowder's Girlfriend" is the 2 episode of Season 1 of Chowder and the 2 episode
overall.

Synopsis

Panini has her heart set on Chowder, but he tries every trick in the book to convince her
he's not her boyfriend.

Plot

Chowder and Mung go to the farmers market and see Gazpacho. Gazpacho shows Mung a
new product he just recieved: grabbles; small green apple-like fruits that grap onto things
and refuse to let go untill they are ripe. (the grabbles stay latched onto Mung for the rest of
the episode) Suddenly the sun is blocked out by the huge, intimidating figure of Mung's
arch-nemesis Miss Endive with her apprentice Panini. As Endive and Mung argue about
what make grabbles taste good, Panini shows an attraction towards Chowder. She gives
him a heart-shaped cookie and a juice box, and immediately announces that he and she are
boyfriend and girlfriend and are destined to be together forever. This shocking
development causes Chowder to spit-take all the way home (and the rest of the day!).
Chowder's mind is not on his work the next day as he tries to help Mung make balloon-
animal cookies but pumps the batter up too much and causes it to explode. He asks Mung
for advice and he replies that he should tell her he doesn't feel the same way but to let her
down gently. Meanwhile, at Endive's catering company, Panini mentions that her mind is on
a boy, prompting Endive to violently forbid her from consorting with boys. She goes on to
describe what may have been her own experiences with love and rejection. Chowder
arrives and begins a series of attempts to convince Panini that he isn't interested, only for
every one to fail. Chowder's final attempt involves a stage show with Schnitzel playing
Panini and Paté singing a song entitled "Im Not Your Boyfriend!" and a finale of fireworks. It
all ends with the King of the Sky getting hit with a firework, getting angry, and blowing up
the stage. Panini ends up loving it and kisses Chowder on the cheek.

The next day Gazpacho, while singing "I'm Not Your Boyfriend", finds Chowder trying to
wash off Panini's kiss in his pickle barrel. Gazpacho tells Chowder that, now that Panini has
kissed him, he must "make an honest woman out of her" and marry her or her reputation
will be ruined. Chowder gives Mung and order for a wedding cake. Once the cake is finished,
the grabbles ripen and start to eat it. Chowder tries to rush it to Panini's house before it's all
gone. He arrives at the door wearing a tux and holding what remains of the ruined cake.
Panini denies getting married, saying that she "needs her space" and the two can still be
friends. A relieved Chowder goes home singing, "I'm Not Your Boyfriend".

Fourth wall breaks

Upon hearing that the wedding cake will take a very long time to prepare, Chowder jumps
out of the scene and spins it to the next scene where the cake is finished.

Quotes

Chowder: (rings Panini's doorbell)
Panini: (opens door and smiles) Hello again, Chowder.
Chowder: (in an accent with a fake moustache on): Um, hello, Panini. I have a message
for you from Chowder. Who I am not.
Panini: (smiling): Uh-huh.
Chowder: Chowder has moved far away and can not be your boyfriend.
Panini: Where did he move to?

Panini: (holds out cookie) Want a cookie, Chowder?
Chowder: (in regular voice) Would I! (takes cookie) (frowns) Aw, man!
(Panini, sipping juice from a box, stares lovingly at Chowder, who tries to get away
from her, but she's blocking his passage.) Panini: Hi, Chowder!
Chowder: Uh... hi. (The two stare at each other for several seconds. Panini smiles, but
Chowder just looks at her blankly.)
Chowder: Why are you staring at me?
Panini: Because....
Chowder: Because why? Is there something on my face? (He gently rubs his cheeks.)
Panini: When we were shopping today, we picked up some powdered flearts. (She offers
him a fleart - a heart-shaped cookie.) You want one?
Chowder: What do they taste like?
Panini: Taste it and find out.
Chowder (not believing her): Is it salty?
Panini(trying to convince him): Well, taste it and find out.
Chowder (still not convinced): Is it spicy?
Panini (a bit angry, holding the fleart closer to him): TASTE IT! (Chowder then grabs the
fleart from Panini's hand and eats it.)
Panini (dreamily): I love flearts. (bats her eyes) They're famous for romance.
Chowder (coughing out some crumbs): Romance is a little dry.
Panini (offering Chowder her juice box): Have a sip of my juice? (Chowder takes a few
sips)
Chowder rings Panini's doorbell and Panini answers the door) (Chowder is seen
panting, holding a cake and wearing a suit) Chowder: Okay, now I got the cake, we can
get married now.
Panini: What are you talking about, dude?
Chowder: We need to get married... (panting) and save your reputation.
Panini: Ummm... how do I say this? You're getting wayyy to clingy. You come around
like every five seconds. (Panini puts her hands in the air and starts waving them
around)
Panini: See this?
Chowder: Uh huh.
Panini: This is my space. I need my space.
Chowder: Uh huh.
Panini: But we can still be friends, 'kay, dude? (closes door)
Chowder: (walks away happily, singing) I'm not your boyfriend. I'm not your boyfriend.
I'm not your boyfriend. I'm not your boyfriend...!
Gazpacho: (listening to Chowder's song on the radio) I'm not your boyfriend... I'm not
your boyfriend... I'm not your boyfriend... Okay, that's enough.
Panini: (to Gazpacho in a happy voice) I'm Chowder's girlfriendand he is my boyfriend.
And we're totally going to be together forever and ever! And now, we're holding hands!
(grabs Chowder's hand)
Chowder: (spits out juice at Panini)
(Chowder rings doorbell and Panini answers the door) Panini: Oh, hi, Chowder.
(Chowder extents a present to Panini) Panini: (her eyes widen) A present? for me?
(Panini opens present and a spitting monster comes out spitting everywhere)
Chowder: Pretty gross, huh? Bet you don't want me to be your boyfriend anymore.
Panini: (with monster kissing her) Oh my gosh, Chowder you are so thoughtful! I Love
it! Now Ms. Muffin has a boyfriend of her own. (reveals another pet. Both pets spit at
each other then start to kiss)
Chowder: Aww, man! I'm not your boyfriend!
Mung: Great gobs of gravy, something's blocked out the sun!
Chowder: I'm scared, I'm scared!
Endive: (turns around) Playing with our food again, Mr. Daal?
Mung: (narrows eyes) Endive...!
Chowder: (to Mung) Say there was this girl who wanted you to be her... boyfriend.
Mung: (excited) She wants me... to be her boyfriend?! Come on, out with it! Who is
she? Is she cute? I bet she's cute!
Chowder: No, she's icky!
Mung: Icky, huh? Well, it's lucky that I'm a married man.
Chowder: But what if you weren't married?
Mung: If I wasn't married? (eyes sparkle with glee) Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee! (Truffles
flies by and whacks him in the head) Love ya, baby!
Chowder: (to Kimchi) I don't wanna be a boyfriend! Boyfriends have to do all kinds of
weird stuff, like hold hands, and write poetry, and hold hands, and hold hands, and
be together forever! FOREVER'S A LONG TIME!

Trivia

The monster from the previous episode appears again.
In some countries where Cartoon Network broadcasts in, Chowder's Girlfriend was
appointed as the 4th episode because Panini did not appear in "The Thrice Cream Man"
and "The Flibber Flabber Diet".
Kevin Micheal Richardson, who voiced Shnitzel in the pilot, was replaced by John
DiMaggio from this episode-onward.
Truffles is shown twice in this episode, but doesn't have any lines.
Pate makes his first appearance in this episode.
Panini and Ms. Endive make their first appearance in this episode.

Errors

When Chowder is running down the street with the cake type thing, Chowder's eyes'
colors are opposite.
In one frame of the scene with the monster from the previous episode, Panini's arms
disappear.
Panini said that her and Chowder can still be just friends but in later episodes she is still
saying that she is Chowder's girlfriend.
