Patty's short-term memory loss made her constantly forget she'd put on lipstick and that resulted in her putting on way too much. 

"Lawdy, girl! Is de circus in town?" said Brer Fox.

Brer Bear was still squawking. "Pretty bird, pretty bird."

"Yes you are. You're the prettiest bird ever" Burt cooed.

"Awk! Thank you" Brer Bear squawked.

"Brer Vulture, you need to fly them to the hospital" said Jeremy.

"O' de vet" said Brer Rabbit. 

"What? Wit all dem crittas, I'd neva get off de ground" said Brer Vulture. 

"Oh dear!" Chad grunted.

"Oh dear is right. A vulture wit only dat much strength is tragic" said Brer Rabbit.

"Whatever will we do?" said Jeremy.

"Well, de first thing we should do is tape de jelly jahs shut so diss don't happen ter no one else" said Brer Rabbit.

"Awk! Jelly, jelly" Brer Bear squawked.

"I know where the first piece of tape is going" said Chad taping the bear's mouth shut. 

Brer Vulture was having a hard time taping a jar. "Rip, you stupid tape!"

But the jar exploded in his mouth! "Ugh! Son of a roadkill!"

"Brer Vulture, you didn't swallow any of that jelly, did you?" said Chad.

"It's alright!" said Brer Vulture. 

"I ain't scared o' no jelly" said Brer Fox.

"I got tough guts. I bin eatin' dead stuff for years. I don't cough up anymore bones den de average" said Brer Vulture before breaking into a coughing fit.

Patty looked at the 'very happy' Burt. "Uh, mister? Who's that guy?"

"That's Chad Stuart. He has the best eyesight I've ever seen" said Burt.

"Really, Burt? Do you see the glasses?" said Chad.

Patty laughed, then pointed at Jeremy. "No, I meant the other guy. He's cute. I wonder if he has a girlfriend."

"I do" said Jeremy.

"Dagnabbit!" said Patty.

"No, it's you, luv. Patty, don't you remember me?"

"Patty? Who's Patty?"

"Oh dear..." Jeremy cried.
