Dialogue
|
(In a random truck, a blonde person called Jenny is investigating few things about the Plantars. Someone else is with Jenny.)
|
Mr. X
|
(While he's having a Popsicle ice cream) Do you know why they call me Mr. X, Jenny? (Jenny focuses on the computer, eyes widened.) Right you are, Jenny. (turns his mug to reveal the drawing of an extraterrestrial's face) Because I deal specifically with extraterrestrials (checks a folder) and rumor has it that there are a few in the area. Hit it, Jenners.
|
(Jenny analyzes a few recent images and a message appears saying "DEFINITELY PROBABLY ALIENS".)
|
Mr. X
|
(applauds) Very good, Jenny. Very nice. This is (points at his partner) why you're the best. Oh, Jenny, honey, are you blushing?
|
(Jenny is seen a bit flushed while trying to work.)
|
Mr. X
|
But (is referring to Anne) who is this I wonder? Little Miss String Bean.
|
(Jenny analyzes the mentioned part of the image and a message appears saying "NO POSITIVE ID; LIKELY A HUMAN COMPANION".)
|
Mr. X
|
Uh-huh. Sounds like some real '80s movie junk, but one thing's for sure, these aliens are being sheltered and whoever is harboring these little monsters will be in big trouble.
|
(Someone is touching the truck. Mr. X opens the window to see him after playing ice cream music.)
|
Kid 1
|
One Popsicle, please.
|
Mr. X
|
Sorry, little man. This was the last one. (takes a bite out of the popsicle) Mmm... (closes the window but got stuck) Uh... give me a sec. (holds the Popsicle in his mouth, then uses both hands to tighten the window. Closes it. He finishes the Popsicle and throws the stick in the trash.) Now we've got to get these aliens before someone gets abducted or worse. (his stomach growls) OK, we need some real food.
|
(Jenny searches the Internet for a food place and finds it.)
|
Mr. X
|
(while shaking her chair) Jenny, Jenny. (Jenny is shown to have found the Thai Go restaurant.) you've done it again.
|
(At Thai Go, the Plantars help the Boonchuys prepare the dishes, although they notice that Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy are somewhat active.)
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
Is it just me or is anyone feeling amped up since we fought the robot?
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
Kick that robot's butt, you mean. Remember I was all "Whapow!" And you were like... (mimics karate yell)
|
Hop Pop
|
Sounds like you got a case of (snaps and points them) post-battle euphoria.
|
Sprig
|
Nothing like a brush with death to make you feel alive.
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
So what's next? I'm ready to fight!
|
Anne
|
(While she comes to the kitchen) Hopefully, nothing. Unless Andrias sends another robot, (as she hangs out with the Plantars) we're safe for now. So I'm taking the Plantars to their (hugs them) first movie.
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
Well, if anything comes up, we're ready. I even broke out and old pull-up bar. Look. (tries to pull up on a door railing while grunts, but it breaks and he falls) AW! my back!
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
Honey, be careful.
|
Anne
|
(As the Plantars put on their human disguises) Guys, please, leave the danger to us, OK? Now, (makes a pose) movie time.
|
Sprig, Polly and Hop Hop
|
(while doing the same pose) Whooo!
|
(Anne and the Plantars arrive at the cinema, upon entering, the Plantars gasp from the impression, while the interior is shown, a couple talk and two children run scared by some horror movie and a girl hugs a poster.)
|
Polly
|
(with a puppy face) Hello, (falls backwards) sensory overload!
|
Hop Pop
|
Whoa! What is this, a church?
|
Anne
|
Yeah, pretty much. (sighs)
|
Sprig
|
What's the (hits Anne's right arm) matter?
|
Anne
|
Just thinking about my folks. I don't like the idea of putting those two in harm's way. I know we took that robot together but they're still just parents, you know? They shop for groceries and coach Little League T-Ball.
|
Hop Pop
|
Well, luckily today today is a stress-free day with no danger or conflict.
|
(Back in Thai Go, Mr. X arrives as he slammed the door open with his left hand. Mrs. Boonchuy comes to attend to him as she walks to the counter.)
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
Hello. Welcome to Thai Go.
|
Mr. X
|
(shows that his shoes have wheels) (goes to the counter sliding) (speaks Thai) Greetings, Ma'am.
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
(speaks thai) Oh, you speak Thai?
|
Mr. X
|
(speaks Thai) Just a little, here and there. (goes back to speaking in the original language) I was stationed on Phuket for a bit. (sees a brochure) We'll take one Pad see ew. And (takes a picture) while we're at it, (shows her the picture) have you seen and odd creatures walking around? Probably disguised as... humans?
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
(nervous) (laughs) What strange shapes they are! Haven't seen them. Who's asking?
|
Mr. X
|
Oh, (shows her his ID card) just your friendly neighborhood federal government.
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
Yes. Very nice. Hooray government! (speaks in Thai) Dad, hurry up!
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
(comes with the order) Jeez, where's the fire? (the restaurant door opens) Hmm?
|
(Jenny came into the restaurant, showing Mr. X that she detected a match, with a message that says "STRING BEAN SIGHTED. POSSIBLE MATCH?" Anne and the Plantars are shown on the bike.)
|
Mr. X
|
(leaves money to pay) Gotta go! (takes the order) Is your stun gun charged, Jenny? (pulls out his stun gun and lights it up) Tell me it's charged?
|
(Mr. X and Jenny leave to go after Anne and the Plantars. Mrs. Boonchuy is beginning to worry.)
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
(confused) Uuhh...
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
We have to go now. I'll (drags him) explain on the way.
|
(Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy leave the restaurant, close it, and run in the car. Mrs. Boonchuy calls Anne, but she takes a long time to answer.)
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
(worried) Come on. Come on.
|
(Meanwhile, in the cinema. Anne's cell phone is shown vibrating for the incoming call, but she doesn't find out as she and the Plantars watch the progress.)
|
Announcer
|
And now... for what you've all been waiting for.... Another trailer!
|
(Cheerleader Musical 7 trailer is shown.)
|
Hop Pop
|
20 minutes of trailers? (talking to Anne) And you keep calling yourself civilized.
|
(Start the movie. A dinosaur is shown roaring while a volcano is erupting.)
|
Sprig
|
(scared) Anyone else feel like this audio-video experience is a little overwhelming?
|
Polly
|
Entertainment that makes your ears bleeds? (comes out of the popcorn pot) I'm here for it, baby!
|
Anne
|
I have to admit, it is pretty difficult to hear anything. (drinks her drink) (another dinosaur roar is heard) (her cell phone is displayed on an incoming call yet, but she doesn't answer)
|
(Meanwhile, on the busy avenue, Mrs. Boonchuy becomes frustrated at not taking the call.)
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
She's not answering.
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
(groans) We're gonna lose him in the trafic!
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
That's because you drive like an old man! (takes the wheel and turns right) Move over!
|
(The car goes through the right corner of the avenue in an inclined position. Mr. Boonchuy yells.)
|
(Mr. X is shown driving while listening to electronic music. But then he sees a red car intercepting him and brakes and he says they are Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy.)
|
Mr. X
|
Man, this city. I tell ya.
|
(Mr. X activates "Traffic Mode," in which the truck is pulled upward by cables attached to the wheels and thus sped past Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy. They notice and care more.)
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
(yells)
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
OH NO!
|
(Back at the cinema, Anne and the Plantars leave the room as the movie has finished.)
|
Hop Pop
|
Well, it was no Suspicion Island.
|
Sprig
|
(wipes his ears as he ended up temporarily deaf) (loudly) What did you say?!
|
Anne
|
I thought the protagonist was pretty fun. I liked that she was very flawed and had room to grow.
|
(Anne takes out her cell phone and notices that she has some messages from her mom. Some say; "ANNE! SECRET GOV'T AGENT. WATCH OUT FOR ICE CREAM TRUCK!! (ice cream cone and clown face emojis)". Anne starts to worry and she just sees Mr. X entering the cinema while he is rolling and strikes a pose.)
|
Anne
|
(worried) Oh, crud. (leads the Plantar back to the exhibition slab sector as the 4 of them casually walk) Back inside, gang.
|
Sprig
|
No. Not another one!
|
(After receiving a glass of drink and change, Mr. X sees Anne and the Plantars entering a room where he broadcasts the movie "Fugimator 5: He's back to make us more money!". Mr. X begins to go after them while he chuckles and drinks his drink.)
|
(Anne and the Plantars hide crouched between the seats.)
|
Anne
|
Guys, there's a secret agent after us! We have to find a way out of this place without him finding--
|
(It hears someone sitting down. It was Mr. X who already found them.)
|
Mr. X
|
Tell me, are you folks from the area or just visiting? (Anne and the Plantars scream and run from him) Oh, how I (does the scratch mimic) love a good chase.
|
(Anne and the Plantars leave the room and hide in a trash can while Mr. X is rolling after them, seeing that he passed by, they leave the hiding place and run towards the entrance-exit access. They lean out to take a look and when they notice that there are no moors on the coast, they run towards the access.)
|
Hop Pop
|
I think we lost him.
|
Anne
|
Great. But don't stop. (brakes sharply) Wait! Stop! (The Plantars collide with her)
|
(Anne and the Plantars crouch at the box office and see Jenny checking people out with an infrared gun.)
|
Men 1
|
Huh? (After Jenny verified him) I think I just won something. (he and his partner are leaving)
|
(Anne receives a call and answers it.)
|
Anne
|
They're watching the exit. We need to find another way out.
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
We're coming in to help.
|
Anne
|
No! I don't want you getting in trouble. We can handle it.
|
(Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy are shown driving.)
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
Tell her we are adults and we know what we're doing.
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
Anne, you mother says... Hang on, (puts his cell phone on a pole) I'm putting you on speaker. (tries to see how to activate the function) OK, let's see. How do we do this?
|
(Mr. Boonchuy calls someone by mistake.)
|
Unknown
|
(speaks in Thai) Do you know what time it is?
|
Anne
|
What?
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
Oh, whoops! (Anne sees that she's on a video call) I think I accidentally--
|
Unknown
|
(speaks in thai) Anne? Is that you? I haven't seen you in ages! You look skinny! Have you been eating?
|
Anne
|
Oh, hi, Grandma. Yeah, I just had a sandwich. (talks to Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy) Mom, Dad, just stay in the car where it's safe. We'll meet you outside. (talks to her Grandmother) Bye, Grandma, love you! (cuts the video call)
|
(Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy arrive at the cinema, after parking, they see that Jenny has a line of people for the scan.)
|
Kid 2
|
(After he and his mother were scanned and are leaving) Ah, that tickles my brain.
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
How do we get them out? They're cornered.
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
I have an idea. Not only how to get them out, but to deal with these agents too. Quick! To the pet store! (Mrs. Boonchuy starts driving in a hurry) (yells) Honey, take it easy!
|
(Back with Anne and the Plantars...)
|
Anne
|
OK. OK. Get it together, Anne. (hits her head) Think. So what we're going to need to do first is... Hmm?
|
(Anne sees that Mr. X caught them again as he draws his stun gun.)
|
Anne
|
...hide!
|
(Anne and the Plantars flee to the showroom sector again.)
|
Mr. X
|
Well, this is getting fun.
|
(Anne and the Plantars enter a dark room and lock the door.)
|
Anne
|
Oh crud. It's a dead end.
|
(A "Dead End" poster is displayed.)
|
Hop Pop
|
Ah! Classic. (Mr. X is heard turning the knob) Everyone, hide.
|
(Anne and the Plantars are hiding. Mr. X manages to open the door and sees the silhouette of Hop Pop.)
|
Mr. X
|
(keeps his stun gun) Now, what could this (slaps him) be? (sees it's just a cardboard cutout) What the--?
|
Anne
|
(she and the Plantar are about to leave the room) Now, guys!
|
Mr. X
|
Oh no, you don't! (runs after them)
|
(Polly throws a roll of film tape at Mr. X to tie his feet and he falls, but he grabs Hop Pop by the left leg and drags him away. As he falls, he drops his hat, fake nose, and fake glasses. He gasped when exposed.)
|
Mr. X
|
(gasps) What even are you? (lets go of him and notices that his hand has mucus) And why are you so slimy? (cleans himself) Ugh.
|
Hop Pop
|
Rude.
|
(Sprig lowers his mask, sticks out his tongue, grabs a roll of movie tape, and throws Mr. X at his head.)
|
Polly
|
Ya hahaa!!
|
(Polly is about to throw another one at him, but Anne grabs her. Hop Pop is about to hit him with the cardboard, but Anne grabs him too. As they leave the room, Anne drops them on the floor, locks the door, and the group flees.)
|
(Mr. X gets up and when he notices that the door was locked, he uses his watch to activate a laser and thus melt the lock. Then, he kicks the left open and as he leaves, he uses an ear device to contact Jenny.)
|
Mr. X
|
Jenny, you're not gonna believe this. (fidgets with emotion) They're big, beautiful talking frog monsters! (has a happy face and then returns to his normal state) Call in the troops.
|
(Anne and the Plantars hid in a bathroom, with the door locked and on top of a toilet. They try to accommodate.)
|
Anne
|
(groans) Why are these doors so high up?
|
Polly
|
(yells) Your big toe is in my eyeball!
|
Sprig
|
Whoooa... C'mon! Watch it!
|
Hop Pop
|
My hand!
|
Polly
|
Get off of my...
|
Hop Pop
|
Stay quiet. (Polly pulls the chain with her left leg)
|
(Anne feels her cell phone vibrating and sighs, sees that it is another incoming call from Mr. Boonchuy and answers it.)
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
OK, So your mother and I have a plan to get you out. It's really good too!
|
Anne
|
Guys, no! Seriously, we got this. It's four on one. (a woman listens to her) When he comes in, we'll rush him and run. See you soon.
|
Woman
|
(while she's leaving) Man, this city. I tell ya.
|
(Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy are shown back at the movie theater in the same spot where they parked. They notice that Anne cut the call.)
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
(worried) No no no no no. Anne? Anne!
|
(Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy hear some police sirens and find out that there are a few SWAT workers entering the cinema, while a helicopter watches from above. They carry nets and catch ropes.)
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
They're in the bathroom. You ready, honey?
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
Born ready.
|
(Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy pull out some tools and go to the rescue.)
|
(Inside, Jenny guides the workers to where Anne and the Plantars are hiding. They stop right near the door.)
|
Mr. X
|
(Points to the bathroom) They're in there. Come on, everyone. (raises his right fist up) Show time! (he slam the door) Let's grab (while workers enter the bathroom) ourselves some frog aliens.
|
(Workers surround Anne and the Plantars.)
|
Anne
|
Ok, guys. On three, go for the eyes. One, two...
|
(There is a blackout in the entire cinema.)
|
SWAT Guy 1
|
What's going on?
|
SWAT Guy 2
|
(While crashing noises and noises are being heard) The power's off!
|
SWAT Guy 3
|
On your toes!
|
SWAT Guy 4
|
They're getting away!
|
SWAT Guy 1
|
Ow! Watch where you're stepping!
|
(Mr. X lights the bathroom with his flashlight and points to the toilet, but to his surprise, he finds 2 common toads croaking and a normal tadpole in a bag.)
|
SWAT Guy 4
|
(laughts) (All the workers laugh) Nice frog alien, sir.
|
SWAT Guy 3
|
I've heard of little green men, but this is ridiculous. (Highs five SWAT guy 4)
|
Mr. X
|
(After Jenny picks up the two common toads and the common tadpole) Looks like our little friends are smarter than I thought. We're gonna have fun with this one, Jenny. And we'll have the last laugh!
|
(Upstairs the room, Anne and the Plantars are seen exiting through a duct. They get out thanks to Mr. Boonchuy. Mrs. Boonchuy was waiting for them inside the car.)
|
Anne
|
I don't believe it. Dad, Mom, how did you...
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
Well, parents have a special set of skills.
|
(A retrospective montage is shown.)
|
(First flashback scene. The patrol is shown on the way.)
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
First, your mother bought us some time...
|
(Mrs. Boonchuy interferes with the patrol, when she gets out of the car, she does a magic trick by pulling Domino out of the top hat.)
|
SWAT Guy 6
|
Wow. (The workers applaud her)
|
(Second flashback scene. Mr. Boonchuy is at the pet store buying the same common frogs and tadpole.)
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
While your father got the frogs at a pet store down the street.
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
The owner was your T-Ball coach, Mr. Tran. Remember him? Nice guy.
|
(Third flashback scene. Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy approach the power controls of the cinema. They play with the levers to cause the blackout.)
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
And remember that one time we tried to fix the electricity?
|
Anne
|
Yeah. What's that a disaster?
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
Yep. So we knew exactly what not to do.
|
(Back in the present, while the SWAT workers are leaving...)
|
Anne
|
Whoa.
|
Sprig
|
Amazing!
|
Polly
|
That wit.
|
Hop Pop
|
What is T-ball, anyway?
|
Anne
|
You guys seriously did all that? I can't believe it. I guess I... I... (distorted voice) missjudged you.
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
That's OK, sweetie.
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
We forgive you.
|
Anne
|
Wait, but how did you know which bathroom we were hiding in?
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
(nervous) Eeehh...
|
Mrs. Boonchuy
|
Parental intuition?
|
Mr. Boonchuy
|
And... maybe the tracking device we put on Hop Pop when he was sleeping.
|
Hop Pop
|
(While Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy are smiling nervously) (unbuttons his vest to check his chest) I was wondering what that was.
|
Anne
|
WHAT?!
|
Polly
|
(jumps on top of Hop Pop and rips off the tracking device) Hi-yah!
|
(Hop Pop yells for the rough start.)
|
