Dialogue
|
| Open on the open sky. The frog in the clutches of a dragonfly soars overhead.
|
| Frog:
|
Yep, it's been three months. Still up here.
|
| Sprig:
|
[sighs] Spring is finally here.
|
| Anne:
|
All right, Sprig. New season, new possibilities. I'm ready to blossom into my best self.
|
| Sprig:
|
So, you're feeling better about the whole Sasha incident?
|
| Anne briefly flashes back to her duel with Sasha and the look on her unconscious face.
|
| Anne:
|
Yep. Totally fine.
|
| Sprig:
|
Oh, cool. 'Cause if I had to fight like that, I'd be devastated. Heck, I'd be upset just hearing someone talk about it.
|
| Anne:
|
Oh, look. Hop Pop and Polly.
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Yoo-hoo! [They pull up driving Bessie aboard a new wagon.]
|
| Anne:
|
Whoa! [grunts]
|
| Sprig:
|
Whoa, Hop Pop. What is this thing?
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Impressive, huh? This here's an all-terrain, custom-modeled family wagon. Calling it the fwagon.
|
| Sprig:
|
Whoa.
|
| Anne:
|
Fwagon? Really?
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Cheap too.
|
| Polly:
|
The previous owners died in it.
|
| Anne:
|
So why do we need a new wagon?
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Fwagon.
|
| Anne:
|
Not calling it that.
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Well, with the snow melted and the mountain pass open, we can finally travel outside the valley to Newtopia!
|
| Sprig:
|
Oh, my frog! We're going to Newtopia?
|
| Anne:
|
What's in Newtopia?
|
| Hop Pop:
|
It's the beating heart of Amphibia. A bustling metropolis full of ancient knowledge, run by the wisest of newts. If anyone can help you get home, it's them!
|
| Sprig:
|
So mystical.
|
| Anne:
|
I can't believe it. You mean this could actually be my ticket home? Not only that, but maybe out on the road we'll find Marcy.
|
| Hop Pop:
|
You betcha. Pack your things, kids. We leave tonight.
|
| All:
|
Whoo-hoo!
|
| Sprig & Polly:
|
We're going to Newtopia!
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Say, Anne, since you don't have a lot to pack, could you give Chuck the spare key when he swings by?
|
| Anne:
|
Who's Chuck?
|
| Sprig:
|
We played bugball together.
|
| Polly:
|
He grows tulips.
|
| Anne:
|
[groans] Nope, not ringing a bell. Why does he need a key?
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Because I hired him to protect the house from all the things waiting to destroy it.
|
| Anne:
|
Wait! What?
|
| Hop Pop:
|
An empty house is vulnerable, Anne. Needs protectin'. Not to mention our crops, the very soul of a farm. Left alone to face wildfires, locusts, tornadoes, flaming locust tornadoes. Anyway, here you go.
|
| Anne:
|
Didn't realize you guys are risking so much to help me.
|
| Sprig:
|
Eh, he's just being dramatic.
|
| [frog screaming]
|
| Sprig:
|
Mostly.
|
| Hop Pop:
|
All right, kids. Time to get packing.
|
| Anne:
|
Starting to feel a little guilty about all this. Well, at least Chuck's gonna handle it. Whoever that is.
|
| [snail chirps]
|
| Anne:
|
Chuck!
|
| Dave:
|
Actually, I'm Dave. That's Chuck.
|
| Chuck:
|
I grow tulips.
|
| [Dave revs his snail and drives off.]
|
| Anne:
|
Oh, yeah. Chuck.
|
| Chuck:
|
[gargles, spits] [screams] Tulips!
|
| [screeches]
|
| Chuck:
|
[screams, grunting]
|
| Anne:
|
No, no! There's no way this guy can handle the job. The house is doomed, and it's all my fault. Unless...
|
| [screeches]
|
| Anne:
|
[grunts] Chuck, buddy, turns out we won't need you after all, because I'm gonna disaster-proof the house myself.
|
| Chuck:
|
T-Tulips.
|
| Anne:
|
Okay, first I need supplies. But they can't just be any supplies. They have to be the best supplies. 'Cause the Plantars are risking everything for me. Their home, their livelihood, their frog-hoppin' future. And that means they deserve the best, right?
|
| Seller:
|
I mean... it's a shovel.
|
| Anne:
|
I'll take ten.
|
| Sprig:
|
I'm finally going to Newtopia! My first trip outside the valley.
|
| [buzzing]
|
| Sprig:
|
Hmm. But how to pack for the most important journey of my life? Blap. Well, I need my trusty slingshot. Duh! But which trusty slingshot? I mean, Rocky's got the most launching power. And Slingerton's better for close-quarters combat. And Silver Bolt, you've always had my back. Is it weird I talk to my slingshots? [as Silver Bolt] No, Sprig. It's normal and cool. Aw, thanks, Silver Bolt. [groans] This is hard. [gasps] I know. I'll let fate decide. Let's try that again.
|
| Loggle:
|
[hums] Oh! Hiya, Anne. Let me guess. Disaster-proofing your house?
|
| Anne:
|
Oh, yeah. I got everything I need for the house. Just need something for the crops. The very heart and soul of a farm. You got anything for that?
|
| Loggle:
|
As a matter of fact, I do.
|
| Anne:
|
Hmm, that was weird.
|
| Loggle:
|
Yeah, didn't feel right. Behold.
|
| Anne:
|
[gasp]
|
| Loggle:
|
My latest concoction. This gunk won't just protect your crops, it'll awaken a power within them. A power, some would say, that's better left...
|
| Anne:
|
I'll take it.
|
| Loggle:
|
Wait, really? Don't you wanna hear the rest of my cryptic warning?
|
| Anne:
|
Hmm, nope.
|
| Loggle:
|
Works for me. Cash or credit?
|
| Anne:
|
Thanks, Loggle. [groans]
|
| Polly:
|
Boom! [grunts] All done! Hop Pop, I'm bored.
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Well, I could use some help with these ascots. They require a very delicate fold.
|
| Polly:
|
Pass.
|
| Polly:
|
How's it going... bro?
|
| Sprig:
|
I had a packing crisis. Went a bit overboard. I admit it. But, uh, it's fine. [chuckles] I figured it out.
|
| Polly:
|
Great. I'm done packing too. Wanna play?
|
| Sprig:
|
Done? [laughing] No, sweet, sweet Polly. I figured out what slingshot to bring. Now the real packing begins. [laughs]
|
| Polly:
|
[smirks] Maybe I can help. What's next on the... Oh. You picked this one?
|
| Sprig:
|
What, what, why?
|
| Polly:
|
No, it's great. I'm sure you picked the right one. Pretty sure. Maybe.
|
| Sprig:
|
[screams]
|
| [techno music playing]
|
| Anne:
|
[groaning]
|
| Anne:
|
Just got to be really careful here.
|
| Anne:
|
Now, for the final touch.
|
| [music ends]
|
| Anne:
|
Oop! Let's see here. "Give your crops a fighting chance with Loggle's Miracle Glop!" Blah, blah, blah. Boom, baby!
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Whelp, let's get the fwagon loaded, shall we?
|
| Anne:
|
Whoa, Sprig, are you okay?
|
| Sprig:
|
Yes, great. How are you?
|
| Polly:
|
[giggles]
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Wow. Chuck really outdid himself. Ain't nothing happening to this place while we're gone.
|
| Anne:
|
[chortling]
|
| [rumbling]
|
| Anne:
|
Whoa!
|
| Hop Pop:
|
What the... What's going on?
|
| Veggie monsters:
|
[hisses] [grunts] [hisses]
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Veggie monsters.
|
| Polly:
|
I've had this nightmare before.
|
| Anne:
|
Oh, wow. How could this have happened?
|
| Sprig:
|
Don't worry, fam. I got this. Fly true, Silver... [grunts]
|
| Polly:
|
[laughs, screams]
|
| Veggie monster:
|
[hisses]
|
| Anne:
|
Polly! All right, everyone, action time!
|
| Hop Pop:
|
[screams]
|
| Sprig:
|
Yeah!
|
| Veggie monster:
|
[hisses]
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Hash browns!
|
| Polly:
|
[gasps] [to Spring] I'm sorry for messing with ya. Now sling me!
|
| Veggie monster:
|
[grunts]
|
| Anne:
|
[pants] We did it! And the house is undamaged!
|
| [rumbling]
|
| Anne:
|
What?
|
| Giant veggie monster:
|
[growling] [grunts]
|
| Polly:
|
Cool!
|
| Anne:
|
Guys!
|
| Sprig , Hop Pop & Polly:
|
[grunt]
|
| Giant veggie monster:
|
[hisses] [shrieks]
|
| Anne:
|
Yes! Wait, no! Don't go that way. That's toward the house.
|
| Giant veggie monster:
|
[hisses]
|
| Anne:
|
[screaming] No!
|
| Sprig:
|
Our home!
|
| Polly & Hop Pop:
|
[both scream]
|
| Anne:
|
The house. Everything I worked so hard to protect. Oh, you just made a big mistake, buddy. [Anne's eyes flash blue]
|
| Giant veggie monster:
|
[growling]
|
| Anne:
|
[screaming]
|
| Giant veggie monster:
|
[yelps]
|
| Anne:
|
[screaming]
|
| Giant veggie monster:
|
[growling]
|
| Anne:
|
[spits] Eat your vegetables.
|
| Tiny veggie monster:
|
[groans]
|
| Sprig:
|
Anne! That was amazing.
|
| Polly:
|
You saved our tails.
|
| Anne:
|
Yeah, but the house.
|
| Hop Pop:
|
The important thing is we're all okay. It's not your fault a mysterious green energy turned the crops evil.
|
| Anne:
|
Actually, it is.
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Say what?
|
| Sprig:
|
But why? How?
|
| Anne:
|
So, uh, it's kind of a funny story. I got rid of Chuck, then I fortified the house and maybe fed the crops some evil curse magic Loggle made.
|
| All:
|
You what?
|
| Anne:
|
[sighs] I just wanted the house to be safe while you guys were taking this big trip for me.
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Anne, we're not taking this trip for you. We're taking it with you.
|
| Sprig:
|
We got your back no matter what.
|
| Anne:
|
Thanks, fam. That... That means a lot to me. We can hold off on Newtopia. I'll fix the house first.
|
| Hop Pop:
|
No need. [inhales] [tulip blows]
|
| [rumbling]
|
| Chuck:
|
I grow tulips.
|
| Anne:
|
[slaps her forehead] Hoopa da boopa!
|
| Hop Pop:
|
[laughs] Why do you think I hired Chuck in the first place?
|
| Anne:
|
Sorry, I doubted you, dude!
|
| Chuck:
|
I grow tulips.
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Yes, he does. All right, kids. It's a two-week journey to Newtopia so we better get going.
|
| Sprig:
|
Whoo-hoo! Yeah!
|
| Polly:
|
Let's a-go!
|
| Anne:
|
Hey, Hop Pop. I was thinking... wouldn't it be a good idea to bring the music box with us on the trip?
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Oh, uh... No, no, no, no. Uh, it'll be safe with my contacts for the time being.
|
| Anne:
|
All right, HP. I trust your judgment.
|
| Hop Pop:
|
Well, let's get this fwagon on the road. No turnin' back now.
|
| Anne:
|
Did we give the key to Chuck?
|
| Hop Pop:
|
We're turning back now.
|
