[Birds chirp as the screen shows a closeup of a ship's bow and sails before it zooms out revealing Hop Pop blowing a small ship's sails.]
[Hop Pop hums as he applies glue to piece of wood and puts it on the ship before he cleans it with a towel.]
Hop Pop: [sighs] Well, after five years of work on this gal, I might actually finish.
[A kickball suddenly crashes through the window. Hop Pop and quickly shields the ship as he dodges the kickball.]
Hop Pop: My baby! Whew! That was close.
Anne: Ooh, sorry about that, HP.
We're trying to teach Polly how to play kickball.
Which is challenging for obvious reasons.
Hop Pop: Dang it, kids! What have I told you about roughhousing near the windows? Now, come inside and play a quiet game. Hop Pop's working.
Anne: Yeah, I can see that. Nice toy boat.
Hop Pop: It's not a "toy boat," Anne. It's a replica of a famous warship.
Potato, tomato.
Scram!
[grumbles]
Tongue tag! If you get tongued, you lose.
Wait!
[laughing]
No. Kids, cut it out. I said a quiet game.
-No! -[laughing]
[distorted] No!
[screams]
Oops. [whimpers]
[grunts] Why don't you kids ever listen to me?
Okay. Everything's fine. We can still fix her.
To Loggle's!
-[screeches] -Okay, I'm going in. Give Bessie some mushroom treats if she acts up.
You got it. [purrs]
Loggle! You've gotta help me save her.
[gasps] Is that a 1/80 scale model of The Green Lady?
Yeah! And she's damaged!
Wait here. I have just the thing.
Mm-hmm.
Excuse me, sir.
[shouts] Oh. Uh, hello.
Is that your snail out there? [Polly] Whoo-hoo!
[Bessie purring] Show 'em what you got, Bessie!
[siren whoops]
-Boo! -[sighs] Those kids are driving me insane.
Unruly kids, is it? Well, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Apothecary Gary. You can also call me Apothe-Gary if you'd like.
Yeah, I'm not doin' that.
Well, suit yourself. Anyway, I've got just the thing for your troubles. Just rub a little of this on their foreheads and your kids'll be behaving in a jiffy. See, it has these special enzymes--
Enzymes? [chuckles] Ol' Hopediah's not fallin' for no scam.
[laughs] Oh, it's not a scam. I guarantee, once you've tried it, you won't be able to live without it.
Eh, I don't know.
In my experience, this kind of malarkey never--
Apothe-Gary?
Here we go, Hopediah. [yells]
Did you get everything, Hop Pop?
Yup. Now all I need is a quiet afternoon to fix this old gal.
Well, listen, we'll be on our best behavior.
Yeah. The least we can do is give you the time to fix it.
Polly: We're sorry, Hop Pop. This is yours, by the way.
Hop Pop: Thanks, kids. For the apology, not the ticket.
Whoo-hoo! Shotgun!
Guess I won't be needin' this stuff after all.
Hey, shoo, girl. This ain't a snack.
I'll be in my study if anyone needs me.
[groans] I'm starving.
I think there's one more Beetle Bite left in the kitchen.
-Oh! -No, they're mine!
No! No, no, no!
Sorry, HP. Let me get that for you.
Don't you touch her!
[insects chirping]
[snoring]
[snoring]
Eh. Probably won't do nothin' anyway.
[yawns]
[rooster crows]
[sizzling]
Kids! Breakfast!
Dang kids always take so long to wake up.
Whoa!
[all] Good morning, Hop Pop.
Okay.
Now, I'm gonna start workin' on my ship. So I want you kids to finish your breakfast quickly, then sit on that couch and not say a...
word.
[all] Yes, Hop Pop.
Don't hate that.
[humming] There you go, Captain Happy.
[clock ticking]
[chuckles] Hey, kids.
[all] Hey, Hop Pop.
[shudders]
Um, why don't you kids go outside and play--
[all] Yes, Hop Pop.
[Sprig and Polly] Hooray.
Better close these to cut down the glare.
[insects chirping]
[yawns] Almost done.
Still, I shouldn't use any more of that gunk on the kids. Something about it just don't sit right with me.
[yawns] [bones crack]
Man, I feel funky.
Like I was a prisoner in my own body.
I... I have all this anger, and I don't knowbwhat to do with it!
Well, hey! Wanna shake it off with another game of tongue tag?
Heck yeah. Let's play in Hop Pop's room.
I like the obstacles.
No! Kids! Cut it out. [all yelling]
-Looking good! -[Polly shouts]
Go to bed now, and I'll give you ten coppers each!
Well, good night.
Sleep tight.
I sure like money!
[sighs] I'll just buy myself a little more time, and then never again.
[snoring]
[yawns]
Well, that's that.
[eerie music]
[moaning]
[moaning]
[all grunt]
What's that?
[moaning]
[gasps]
Kids! What's gotten into you? Huh?
[singsong] Knock, knock.
Gary? What the heck are you doing here?
I'm here to witness the birth of my new children.
-Children?
-That's right. That potion I gave you was no ordinary elixir. It was made with a special blend of my very own spores.
Your spores?
[gasps]
Behold! My true beautiful self.
You see, I am a rare species of mushroom able to control the mind of its host. And soon all of Amphibia will be under my command! [cackling]
You'll never get away with this.
Silence! Also, eyes up here, buddy.
Oh, sorry. It's just, you're glowing, he's got the mouth--
I know, right? It's totally weird. I completely get it. Now, where was I? Oh, right. To me, my mushroom children!
[moaning]
Mayor Toadstool: Simmer down now.
[cackling]
Welcome to the family, Hopediah-- Oh, he's gone.
We have to hold them off.
[moaning] Kids, snap out of it.
[Anne moaning]
Anne, no! Don't let them in.
[whimpers] Stay back!
[screaming]
[panting]
[grunts]
Well, I can't just leave her here.
I gotta get help. But everyone's infected except--
[gasps]
That's it! [panting]
[Polly screams]
Hop Pop: Shh! No, no, no. Polly, don't!
[shouts] No! Kids, let me go!
[cackling]
[thud] Little lower, please.
[moaning] Ah, there we go.
[moaning] Enough games.
Time for your assimilation.
Sorry to disappoint you, you compost-eating fiend, but I've got you right where I want ya. Goodbye, sweet lady. May you find safe harbor in the beyond. Hyah!
Bessie! Snack time!
Who's Bessie? Is that your wife?
[Bessie purring]
Aw, gee! [grunts]
[gasps] My spores!
[screams] Take this, you overgrown vegetable.
A vegetable? How dare you?
-[grunts] -Huh?
[Gary] Stop her! She's eating all the mushrooms.
[grunting]
[purrs]
Ah! No. Stop. Please!
Have mercy, I beg of you. I'm the last of my kind. Destroying me would wipe us off the planet forever.
I can live with that. [shouts]
[screaming]
[sighs] Huh?
What the-- What a wonderful dream.
Hey, where am I?
Mayor Toadstool: Why am I in the barn? What day is it?
Well, not the first time I've woken up in a shed.
I gotta go home. My wife's gonna kill me.
Lloyd: Hey, buddy. Do you know where I live?
Hop Pop: Nope. Sorry, Gary.
Lloyd: Gary? The name's Lloyd.
[Anne, Sprig and Polly] Ahem.
Hop Pop: [sighs] I know. No matter how important my ship was, it didn't give me the right to use mind control on you.
Anne: Uh, no.
Polly: Ya think?
Sprig: Heck naw.
Anne: But I guess we're sorry too. Looks like we pushed you pretty far. We'll try to be better about listening to you in the future.
Hop Pop: [chuckles] Yeah. I guess we're even.
Polly: Hop Pop, we broke a model ship. You crossed all kinds of ethical and moral lines!
Hop Pop: Like I said, even.
[grumbling] Yeah, whatever.
Fine.
Hop Pop: Now come on. I'll make y'all some mushroom soup.
Polly: All right.
Sprig: Sounds good.
Anne: I see what you did there.
[Unbeknownst to everyone, Jeremy enters the barn and eats some of the leftover enzymes. Soon, a mushroom starts growing on his head as Apothecary Gary can be heard laughing.]
