Dialogue
|
| (The city of Proteus is briefly shown, after what happened in the previous episode, then it focuses on the underground. Anne, the Plantars and Sasha are being escorted by olm guards to Mother Olm.)
|
| Olm Guard 1
|
Mother Olm's chamber is at the end of this tunnel, but be careful. Especially if you’re frail and weak. (referring to Hop Pop) How's it going back there, old timer?
|
| Hop Pop
|
(while dragging) Who you calling old? (his knee cracks in half) Oh, help me, frog!
|
| (Hop Pop flips forward onto the gang and the guards directly towards Mother Olm's chamber.)
|
| Hop Pop
|
(stands up) Sorry, kids. My ding dang knee's been acting up. 40 years of farming will do that to you.
|
| Olm Guard 1
|
Good going.
|
| Olm Guard 2
|
At this rate, you're gonna get everyone killed. (cackles with Olm Guard 1, making Hop Pop feel embarrassed)
|
| Sprig
|
(groans) Huh? Ooh! (looks around the chamber, and sees a gong in front of him) Wow. What does this do?
|
| (Sprig repeatedly hits it several times as Hop Pop trips into the gang again. The chamber starts to shake. He looks underneath the chamber, sees a strange creature come out underground that is huge.)
|
| Mother Olm
|
(her eyes widened, revealing to be Mother Olm) Who is it that summons me?
|
| Anne, Sprig, Polly, Hop Pop and Sasha
|
Wow!
|
| Anne
|
Uh. Greetings, Mother Olm. I'm Anne Boonchuy. This is Sasha Waybright....
|
| Sasha
|
Hey...
|
| Anne
|
...and the Plantars.
|
| Hop Pop
|
Hello.
|
| Sprig
|
Hey.
|
| Polly
|
'Sup?
|
| Mother Olm
|
Ooh. Frogs. Hasn't been one here in about a thousand years. And, as for you two... (uses her gills to feel the girls, to Sasha's displeasure) how exotic.
|
| Anne
|
We need your help. King Andrias is destroying Amphibia, and-
|
| Mother Olm
|
Wait. Hold on. Do you hear a flapping sound, like a million tiny little wings? No? Just me? Must be all in my head. Continue.
|
| Anne
|
So, Sasha and I and our friend Marcy got zapped into Amphibia by a music box and-
|
| Mother Olm
|
Music box? I am the keeper of the prophecy of the stones and the music box, upon which the fate of all world (transforms) rests. (the two Olm Guards are beating the drums) And that prophecy is... (transforms back to normal) Wait. How did it go again? Hold on. It'll come back to me. Oh, (transforms back again) okay. Here we go. The prophecy is.... (transforms back to normal again) gone... It's gone.
|
| Anne, Sprig, Hop Pop, Polly and Sasha
|
What?!
|
| Mother Olm
|
Listen, kids when you get to be a certain age, things like your memory and body just stop working and abandon you like bad friends.
|
| Hop Pop
|
(sighs) Tell me about it.
|
| Anne
|
Well, is there maybe a way we could help you remember it?
|
| Mother Olm
|
Nope. No chance. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
|
| Anne, Sprig, Polly, Hop Pop and Sasha
|
(groans)
|
| Mother Olm
|
But, there is one chance.
|
| Sprig
|
I thought you just said-
|
| Mother Olm
|
(grabs the cream) Dr. Yohan’s incredible Brain Cream. Dr. Yohan himself used to apply it when he went missing some years back. And ever since then, I’ve had (bring the container towards Anne and Sasha) memory problems and intense migraines.
|
| Anne
|
(grabs the container) Okay. So we (her hand was attached to the cream) rub this gunk on your forehead?
|
| Mother Olm
|
My forehead? (stands right next to a staircase) No. No, no, no, no. This only works if you put it (mushrooms light up to her ear) directly on my brain.
|
| Sprig
|
We're going inside your head? Cool!
|
| Sasha
|
(strained) Uh, can we not? I kinda have a thing with ears.
|
| Polly
|
(tugs on Sasha's ear) Suck it up, Sash!
|
| Mother Olm
|
It's incredibly dangerous in there, so be careful.
|
| Hop Pop
|
Hey, uh, kids. I think I'm gonna sit this one out.
|
| Anne
|
What? Is it because of what those jerk guards said? Listen, HP, you're not gonna slow us down.
|
| Sprig
|
Yeah!
|
| Polly
|
You may be old, but you're still a killa.
|
| Hop Pop
|
Thanks, kids. But you go on a ahead.
|
| (The group enters in Mother Olm's ear canal.)
|
| Sprig
|
Oh-ho-ho. I am all ears, baby.
|
| (Sasha tries to enter, but turns back.)
|
| Anne
|
Sasha!! (drags her inside)
|
| Sasha
|
But it's gross and I don't WANNA!! (crying)
|
| (Hop Pop sits down on the floor, all lonely.)
|
| Mother Olm
|
(lends him a cup) Care for some tea, handsome? (giggles)
|
| (Inside the canal, the gang was surprised of what Mother Olm's ear canal looked like inside.)
|
| Sprig
|
Whoa!
|
| Polly
|
(laughs) Nice.
|
| Anne
|
Whoa!
|
| Sasha
|
(groans)
|
| Anne
|
Ooh! The eardrum!
|
| Sprig
|
This must be the way Dr. Yohan used to take. (hits the door and opens by itself)
|
| Polly
|
ECHO! (echoes) (inhales sharply) BIG WAD OF POO! (echoes)
|
| Mother Olm
|
Hey! Language, young lady!
|
| (Polly laughs.)
|
| Sasha
|
Real mature, Polly.
|
| Anne
|
Sasha, look out!
|
| Sasha
|
Huh? (walks into a chunk of earwax. Anne, Sprig and Polly are disgusted) (wipes on her face) (furious) Worst... Mission... EVER!!!
|
| (Cut to Hop Pop, relaxing in Mother Olm's teacup.)
|
| Hop Pop
|
Best mission ever. This hot tea was just what my joints needed, Mother Olm. Thank you!
|
| Mother Olm
|
Oh, you're welcome. You know it took me 200 years to perfect that recipe.
|
| Hop Pop
|
Curse these joints of mine. Getting old is the worst.
|
| Mother Olm
|
Oh, it's not that bad. Our age gives us valuable wisdom.
|
| Hop Pop
|
Hmm... I mean I might know a thing or two about a thing or two.
|
| Mother Olm
|
Do you now. Like what?
|
| Hop Pop
|
I know every jingle invented to sell cowerpillar milk.
|
| Mother Olm
|
Oh, ok. Now that might actually be useless. Got anything else?
|
| Hop Pop
|
Well I also have decades of horticultural experience as a veggie farmer.
|
| Mother Olm
|
Now you're talking! (suddenly suffers an electric jolt, causing her to lose control of her teacup) Oh, sorry. Looks like those kids reached my nervous system.
|
| (Inside, Anne, Sprig, Polly and Sasha come across a bundle of nerves blocking their passage way. The nerves periodically give off an electric jolt. The four start to carefully make their way around the nerves without getting shocked)
|
| Anne
|
It's just like limbo! (touches a nerve and gets shocked)
|
| Sprig
|
Looks like you touched a nerve there, Anne-- (gets shocked from a nearby nerve)
|
| Polly
|
Ha ha! (gets shocked and gets fired backwards, smacking into Sasha and causing them to both fall and get shocked)
|
| Sasha
|
I HATE THIS!
|
| (Mother Olm spasms as the kids stumble through her nervous system. The kids fall through an opening and land on a soft, bumpy surface.)
|
| Sprig
|
What the heck is this?
|
| Anne
|
(gasps) It's the brain!
|
| Sprig
|
Finally! Race you to the other side! (giggles and runs off, runs into a withered hand) Oh, sorry about that Mr.-- AHHH!!!
|
| (The withered hand belongs to the corpse of a newt, holding a bottle of the brain cream the kids are carrying.
|
| Sasha
|
(disturbed) I think we just found Dr. Yohan.
|
| Polly
|
Eh. Old and gone. Let's move it along!
|
| (Anne opens the brain cream jar. It's foul smell makes the kids gag in disgust. Despite the smell, they rub the cream on Mother Olm's brain.)
|
| Anne
|
Whew! Balm applied. Mission accomplished.
|
| Sasha
|
Thank goodness. Can we please get out of here, already?
|
| Polly
|
Hey! Do you guys here something? Almost like flapping?
|
| (Anne turns on the flashlight on her phone. She looks up and wakes up a swarm of bat-like creatures with a bug-like mouth.)
|
| Sprig
|
BATSQUITOS!!!
|
| Polly
|
RUN!!!
|
| (One batquito flies down and bites Mother Olm's brain.)
|
| Anne
|
Well that explains the migraines.
|
| Mother Olm
|
(rubbing her temples) Oh. There they go again.
|
| (The batsquitos swarm the kids, who run for cover. They get chased into a small canal, and fall straight into a deep hole. Anne, Sasha, Sprig and Polly scream as the fall and land in a pool of green goo. They start sinking.)
|
| Anne
|
Ew!
|
| Sasha
|
Ugh! What is this stuff? It's like quicksand!
|
| Sprig
|
I think we're in Mother Olm's nose. Which means this must be...
|
| Anne, Polly and Sasha
|
DON'T SAY IT!
|
| Mother Olm
|
Oh. My ears popped.
|
| (The batsquito swarm fly out of her right ear.)
|
| Hop Pop
|
What the? Batsquitos? But what about the kids? (He suddenly hears muffled cries for help)
|
| Mother Olm
|
You hear that, too?
|
| Hop Pop
|
(trying to swat away the remaining batsquitos) Kids! Kids, can you hear me?
|
| Sprig
|
Hop Pop! Help! We're stuck in Mother Olm's nose!
|
| Sasha
|
(disgusted) Gross! Gross! GROSS!
|
| Hop Pop
|
Quick, Mother Olm. Sneeze!
|
| Mother Olm
|
I can't sneeze on command
|
| Hop Pop
|
(thinking) Think, Hopediah. Think! (noticing his surrounding) Dark, dank conditions. Constant temperature. Perfect conditions for... YES! (out loud) A wild varietal of wartsabi! (puts the herbs in a bowl) And there's liverwort! And ragweed! And some mold from this wood! (talking her) Mother Olm, put your nose by those stairs. (thinking) All right, Hopediah. You can do this! (his knees visibly quiver) Dang it, knees! Stop a-shaking!
|
| (Hop Pop's knees stand firm. He starts to climb the many stairs, carrying the bowl with him.)
|
| Mother Olm
|
What's that smell?
|
| Hop Pop
|
A mixture of the most pungent, allergy-inducing plants in Amphibia. Take a big whiff!
|
| Mother Olm
|
(takes a deep breath, taking in the strong odor. Reacts to the odor by rearing back to sneeze) Ah... AH...
|
| (Inside, a strong gust starts to blow inside Mother Olm's nose.)
|
| Anne
|
What's happening?
|
| Sasha
|
What is that?
|
| Mother Olm
|
AHHHH....
|
| Sasha
|
What's going on?
|
| Polly
|
I don't know!
|
| Mother Olm
|
...CHOOO!
|
| (Mother Olm's mighty sneeze launches everyone out her nose and down the staircase. Everyone screams, still covered by the nose goo, until they slide back down to the floor.)
|
| Anne
|
Bless you.
|
| Sasha
|
(stands up and groans) Worst... Mission... (throws her hands to clean herself) EVER!!! (Some of the mucus ends up on her head)
|
| (Sprig and Polly hug Hop Pop.)
|
| Sprig
|
Hop Pop! You saved us!
|
| Polly
|
You're the best, Hop Pop!
|
| Mother Olm
|
(chuckles) Guess you're not so useless after all.
|
| Hop Pop
|
Thanks, Mother Olm. (his back suddenly snaps) OH! But this back is totally useless.
|
| Anne
|
Hey, Mother Olm. Think you can remember that prophecy now?
|
| Mother Olm
|
The prophecy? Oh, Yes! Oh, the prophecy. Yes, yes. (clears throat) Behold! The great prophecy of the music box that plays the songs between the worlds is... (everyone tenses in anticipation) ...Nope. Still can't remember it.
|
| Sasha
|
WHAT?!? We went through that whole ordeal for nothing?!?
|
| Sprig
|
(holding the brain cream jar) Hey, did anyone notice the label on this brain balm says it expired 70 years ago? (Anne facepalms in disbelief)
|
| Hop Pop
|
Wait, Mother Olm. Did you perhaps write it down someplace? That's what I do when I wanna remember something.
|
| Mother Olm
|
Oh! Well if I had, it might be... up here on the ceiling! (points out ancient text written above everyone) Hop Pop, you cleaver dear.
|
| Anne
|
What's it say? What's it say?
|
| Sasha
|
Quick! Before you forget how to read.
|
| Mother Olm
|
(a purple glow shines as she speaks) "Three stars burning bright. Come from beyond to expel the night. Should they fight or embrace the fall? Their choice will determine the fate of all."
|
| Sasha
|
Three stars? Is that us?
|
| Mother Olm
|
Do you burn bright with the power of the stones?
|
| Anne
|
Well, I have powers.
|
| Sasha
|
Wait! Do Marcy and I get cool anime powers too?
|
| Mother Olm
|
Yes, honey! You should all get cool anime powers!
|
| Anne
|
But I can't even control my powers. When King Andrias stole the music box from us, I couldn't--
|
| Mother Olm
|
Stole it? Huh. Then King Andrias has stolen the powers which are rightfully yours. But so long as you retain a piece of the power, you can restore it to your friends.
|
| Anne
|
Mother Olm, what's this prophecy for? What are the stones?
|
| Mother Olm
|
The olms believe they serve a greater purpose, and should be left alone. While others believe their powers should be used for conquest. These conquerors, with their arrogance and greed, created an unnatural thing that does not sleep and will not die. The prophecy is our one shot at salvation, and we believe that you three were summoned to save us from what we've become: the worst version of ourselves.
|
| Anne
|
Unnatural thing?
|
| Sasha
|
(shrugs and mumbles) I dunno.
|
| Anne
|
Thanks, Mother Olm. You've given us a huge piece of the puzzle.
|
| Sasha
|
Now all we need are showers. Happen to have one of those?
|
| Mother Olm
|
Yeah-- Oh sure, girl! Just hold right there. (grabs a teapot and takes several big gulps. Anne and the Plantars innocently side step away from Sasha)
|
| Sasha
|
(confused) What are you guys-- (sudden realization) Oh no! NO!
|
| (Mother Olm swishes the liquid in her mouth and splashes Sasha.)
|
| Sasha
|
(while setting to some stalactites) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--Ooh, is that jasmine?
|
