| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| (Anne and Sasha are at the Resistance Underground Base looking at a map of Amphibia) | |
| Anne | According to Mother Olm, in order to defeat Andrias, we need to get to that music box. |
| Sasha | Then we're going to need some allies and I know just who to recruit first. (Slaps a sticker on the map) Grime's sister, Beatrix built a secret army of toads. I already asked her to meet with us and she's on her way. |
| Anne | But do you think she'll go for it? I've noticed frogs and toads don't get along. |
| Sasha | That's why I sent Grime and Sprig to be the welcome wagon. She'll see first hand that frogs and toads can work together. |
| Anne | But Grime and Sprig can't work together. And ever since Sprig beat Grime in Newtopia, things have been really tense between them. |
| Sasha | Oh, really? |
| (Anne and Sasha start to run. Meanwhile, Sprig and Grime are outside the Plantars' house, doing nothing.) | |
| Sprig | So, is your sister cool, or does being a jerk run in the family? |
| Grime | We do share a hatred for the shrill sound of whiny frog children. You should leave. |
| Sprig | Nope, Sasha asked me to be here, and she's in charge. I mean, aren't you just a foot soldier now? |
| Grime | ALRIGHT! I've heard enough out of you, you little- |
| (Sasha and Anne make it in time.) | |
| Sasha | Hey, guys! (pants) Okay, change of plans. |
| (Something starts blowing towards them. A bug bird lands right near the Plantars'. Beatrix pops up and falls while yelling.) | |
| Grime | Oh, boy... (gets tackled by her) Get off. Get off! |
| Beatrix | (plays with his head) What's the matter, Grimothy? All toads love a good wrestle. Or did hanging out with these frogs make you soft? But seriously, Sasha, what do you want? |
| Sasha | Anne. Drumroll, please. (Anne plays the drumroll app) As commander of the Wartwood Resistance, I propose you join our frog army. And together, we take down Andrias! |
| Beatrix | (stands up letting Grime breathe and then walks over to Sasha) Toads serving in a frog army? It doesn't make any sense! I mean last time I checked, frogs couldn't even fight. |
| Sprig | (approaches her) Can't fight, eh? |
| Grime | Shh... (whispering to him) No... NOO! |
| Sprig | If we can't fight, then how'd I beat Grime in a one-on-one duel? |
| Beatrix | YOU WHAT?! That only proves my point. Living with frogs has made my brother laughably weak. (plays with Grime's head while laughing and returns to the insect) Thanks for wasting my time. |
| Grime | Not so fast! (jumps up to intervene, then yells and punches himself in the chest, vocalizes with his mouth, then punches a Soldier Toad to take his sword and makes a circle around her with it and finally anchors the sword to it) |
| Sasha | Uuh... what is happening right now? |
| Toad Soldier | He has invoked the sacred law of toad challenge. (retrieves the sword, causing Grime to briefly lose his balance) |
| Beatrix | (sighs) And I am honor-bound to accepted it. State your terms, brother. |
| Grime | Standard one-on-one arena combat. Loser's army joind the winner's. |
| Beatrix | Deal, but it won't be you who I fight. |
| Grime | Eehh... what? |
| Beatrix | Wartime law says I may choose any of your allies to fight in your stead. |
| Anne and Sasha | What? |
| Beatrix | And I (turns around and stretches out her hands) choose... (pointing Anne) Eenie... (pointing Sasha) meenie... (pointing Anne) minie... (points Sprig) FROG! If this little guy wins, we'll join your army, but if I win, you have to join OUR army... as cannon fodder! (laughs as she goes to the bug along with her two soldiers) I'll return at dawn for our battle. Later, soon-to-be losers! |
| (Beatrix and her soldiers leave on the bug. Anne and Sasha end up dramatized, Grime nervous and Sprig indifferent.) | |
| Grime | (nervous) Guess I should've brushed up on toad law. (chuckles) |
| Sasha | You just bet... the whole rebellion... ON A CAGE MATCH?! |
| Anne | And put Sprig's life down as collateral?! |
| Sprig | Meh... I'm pretty sure I can take her. |
| Anne, Sasha and Grime | WHAT?! |
| Sprig | (points him) I beat Grime and I'll beat her too. |
| Grime | You barely beat me amidst a chaotic siege. (crosses his arms) Arena matches are a different beast. |
| Sasha | (as she puts her left hand on his right shoulder) Grime, you were a gladiator. Can you show Sprig the ropes? |
| Sprig | I don't need fighting lessons from Grime! He can't even stop Beatrix frome giving him noogies! |
| Grime | Fine with me! (approaches him) Have fun batting the toughest toad in Amphibia! |
| Sasha | (intervenes them) ENOUGH! I'm making a decree. (Anne takes out a pencil and paper and writes down what she is going to dictate) I hereby order Grime and Sprig to go spend the night training. If they decide to pout like babies instead, they'll be banished... (with an intimidating face) FOREVER!!! (echoes) Or at least until the war starts. |
| Anne | (passes her the pencil and shows her the paper) Tough but fair. Your co-signature. (Sasha puts the signature) (shows Sprig and Grime the decree) It's official! (she and Sasha make them go to another place) Happy training, you two. |
| Grime | Boooooooo! |
| Sprig | This is so unfair. |
| (Grime and Sprig groan at each other repeatedly.) | |
| Grime | Alright, I don't like you and you don't like me, but can we please try to let bygones be bygones?! |
| Sprig | NOPE! You've extorted my town for years, imprisoned us when we fought back, and tried to kill my Hop Pop! |
| Grime | Oh yeah?! Well you haven't exactly been great to me either! I know it was you who put poison ivy on my codpiece. |
| Sprig | YOU TRIED... TO KILL... MY HOP POP!!! |
| Grime | HE WAS... A POLITICAL... LIABILITY!!! |
[sighs] Okay. This is getting old.
Guess you might as well teach me your "special" toad tactics.
We actually do call them special toad tactics,
so sarcasm denied.
Dang it!
[grunting]
[straining]
[grunting]
Ah!
[grunting]
[grunts]
Ah!
I said tense your abs. Tense them!
[groans] This isn't working.
You think?
Your small frog body
is too frail for traditional toad conditioning.
Then maybe I don't need to fight like a dumb toad.
Say "dumb toad" again.
Dumb toa--
[yells, grunts]
That's it! I'm outta here.
I'll figure out how to beat Beatrix on my own!
No, you won't.
And now it won't be my fault when you get maimed.
How did I lose to that brat?
Take that! [grunts]
And that! And this!
Huh?
[slurps] Ah, it's honey.
[rumbling]
[growling]
[screams] Oh, crud!
I'm smack-dab in the middle of a hybeena nest!
-[hybeenas snarling] -[screams]
[yells]
-[grunts] -[hybeenas whimper]
Grime? How did you find me?
I heard your shrill, annoying yell from across the forest.
Hurtful, but okay.
[hybeenas growling]
[hybeenas whimpers]
That speed. It's actually impressive.
Oh!
[hybeenas snarling]
[groaning]
[yells]
Whoa! [grunts]
-[Grime grunting] -[hybeenas snarling, whimpering]
[both] Whoo!
[sighs] Good battle.
Yeah. We whooped their little bee booties.
I gotta say,
you pack a lot of speed and accuracy in that tiny body.
[chuckling] And you!
You took that hit and gave it back to them twofold.
How'd you do that?
Toads are trained from a very young age to let rage give you strength.
It funneled correctly, it can be a secret weapon!
Wow, that's pretty cool.
[bird cawing]
Maybe I could learn a thing or two from you.
Yes.
And I think maybe I've been training you all wrong.
Instead of molding you into the perfect toad,
I should be focusing on your strengths as a frog.
Speed, agility,
being annoying.
Well, Grimothy, wanna give this whole thing another shot?
Indeed.
But call me Grimothy again and I'll eat you alive.
[chuckles] Wow.
[rock music playing]
Uh...
Hmm.
[grunting]
Hachi machi! Ooh!
Grime! Are you okay?
Whoo!
You're ready.
[crowd cheering]
♪ Kickin' butt And takin' names ♪
♪ We're the school They call Saint James! ♪
You didn't even rewrite the song?
I'm very busy, Hop Pop!
Whoa!
[both grunt]
Here you go, bud. Looking intimidating.
What do you think, big guy? Do I have a chance here?
Realistically, no.
But you frogs always surprise me.
So, like, a 5% chance?
[crowd booing]
Don't worry, little frog. I'll make this quick.
We'll see who's quick.
-[bell rings] -Begin match!
[yells]
[grunting]
[overlapping grunting]
Can't dodge every hit!
All that speed, but no strength behind it.
This is why you don't stand a chance!
[distorted, yells] What the--
[Beatrix] I've never seen this before.
From frog or toad.
That's because it's frog and toad!
[yells]
[Beatrix grunting]
Impressive, but you forget one thing.
We toads love a good wrestle!
-[crowd gasps] -Sprig!
-[laughs] -[Sprig strains]
Looks like you've let everyone down, frog,
surprising no one.
[crowd gasping]
[Grime] Let rage give you strength.
If you funnel it correctly, it can be a secret weapon.
[groaning]
[groaning] What? What the--
[yells]
[Beatrix grunts]
[grunts]
[crowd gasps]
-Sprig wins! Sprig wins! -[bell rings]
[crowd cheers]
Whoo!
That was amazing, dude!
Well, I couldn't have done it without Grime's training.
Dang right.
[laughs]
No, I'm totally kidding.
-Great job, Sprig. -[Sprig laughs]
[Beatrix] Ahem!
I have to admit,
that frog-toad fighting style really was impressive.
Perhaps our armies united will be stronger as well.
Commander, I pledge my troops to fight for the resistance.
Wow! Who would've thought?
Frogs and toads on equal footing.
I know this undercuts the lesson,
but it's too good to pass up.
You got beat by a frog!
Beatrix lost to a frog.
A puny little-- [grunts]
Okay. See you when the war starts.
-[Sprig] Drive safe. -[Anne] Bye.
