Dialogue
|
| (The episode begins in Anne's room. Anne is reading a book called "Dante's Inferno".)
|
| Anne
|
Hmmm... I give Dante's Inferno a B+ for story, and an F- for helping us get home. How's it going on your end... Sprig?
|
| Sprig
|
Pretty good. I think I'm really getting somewhere. (The camera zooms out and it's shown he's built a giraffe out of books.) It's a giraffe.
|
| Anne
|
Okay. I can see we need a break. Finger football?
|
| Sprig
|
You know it. (jumps off the top book)
|
| (Anne pulls the paper triangle and goes through the arch, which was Sprig's tongue.)
|
| Sprig
|
Score! (laughts)
|
| (Polly and Hop Pop enter the room and they notice that they're acting somewhat strange.)
|
| Anne
|
Hey, what's gotten into you two?
|
| Polly
|
Oh, nothing. We're just looking for a place to put this (shows them a mud crown as Hop Pop strikes a festive pose) MUD CROWN!
|
| Anne
|
(confused) What is that? (Polly and Hop Pop group around Sprig and he gets excited) What's going on?
|
| Hop Pop
|
Well, in Amphibia, it's (As he takes Sprig's hat off) customary to put a mud crown on somebody's head when (While Sprig bends down for Polly to put her mud crown on him) it's their BIIIIIIRTHDAAAAY!
|
| Anne
|
WHAT?
|
| Polly and Hop Pop
|
(While Hop Pop holds Sprig's right hand and Polly holds Sprig's left hand. Sprig makes a cute face with his tongue sticking out) (singing) ♩Froggy little birthday here♩ ♩It's crystal clear you were born this hoppy time of year♩ (kiss Sprig's cheeks)
|
| Sprig
|
(flattered) Aaw, thanks, guys. You shouldn't have.
|
| Anne
|
Sprig, I had no idea it was your birthday!
|
| Sprig
|
Neh. Don't worry about it. I don't think I ever mentioned it.
|
| Anne
|
(worried) (As takes Sprig on his shoulders) BUT I'M YOUR FRIEND! I'm supposed to know these things! (calms down) Well, we're not doing anymore research today. We're doing whatever folksy frog traditions you do. Whaddya got?
|
| Hop Pop
|
Well, the mud crown represents every frog's humble beginning as an egg in the muddy waters of the swamp.
|
| Polly
|
And all that's left is for the birthday frog to wear his crown and... reflect.
|
| Anne
|
Reflect?
|
| Hop Pop
|
On his life until this point. Shh. It's starting.
|
| (Sprig is shown leaning out of the window for reflection.)
|
| Sprig
|
OK. All done.
|
| Hop Pop
|
Welp, that's that. Hoppy birthday, kiddo. Pretty quick this year.
|
| Polly
|
I wonder which of our eight streaming services we should watch.
|
| Sprig
|
Wait for me, guys!
|
| Anne
|
Wait. Hold on. That's all you frogs do for your honkin' birthdays?
|
| Hop Pop
|
Yes. This is starting to feel a little culturally insensitive.
|
| Anne
|
Unacceptable. Birthdays should be fun and memorable! Especially when you're turning... uh... um... uh...
|
| Sprig
|
Eleven.
|
| Anne
|
Eleven! And I knew that because I'm your friend. And this friend's about to give you the best birthday (distorted voice) you've ever had in your life! Capisce?
|
| Sprig
|
Well, I'm intrigued! A little scared, but intrigued. Let's do it. (Throws the mud crown out the window.)
|
| Mr. Boonchuy
|
Now, now, my little impatiens. Don't be impatient.
|
| Anne
|
Sorry, Dad! Love you, Dad!
|
| ()
|
| Sprig
|
I can't believe Hop Pop and Polly didn't want to share this basket with me. I feel perfectly sa-- Whoa... whoa... whoa...
|
| Anne
|
Listen up. Earth birthdays are about fun, presents, cake. It's basically a day that means you tell people what to do and get what you want.
|
| Sprig
|
Wow. In Amphibia, it's all about respecting those around you and being grateful for the time you have left alive.
|
| Anne
|
Man, talk about brainwashing.
|
| Sprig
|
Are you talking about me or you?
|
| Anne
|
Earth birthday montage engage!
|
| (The montage begins with Anne and Sprig going to the mall's Party Village store, where the disguised frog is dressed head to toe in birthday-themed apparel and holding balloons in both hands.)
|
| Sprig
|
(laughing) Whoa! (grunts)
|
| (Sprig loses his balance and falls on the floor, resulting in the balloons flying away. The scene transitions to the Santa Monica Pier where Anne and Sprig are eager to get on the rollercoaster there. An employee reminds Sprig of the height restrictions, but Sprig (held by Anne) reminds the guy that it's his birthday. With that, both friends are allowed on the ride. As the two board the train, the restraints come down, much to Sprig's surprise.)
|
| Sprig
|
What the heck?
|
| (The ride starts and everyone is enjoying it. As the train goes through one of the coaster’s airtime hills, Sprig flies out of the train, but Anne grabs him by the arm before the drop. After the ride, the pals laugh at the on-ride photo taken.)
|
| (The next part of the montage takes Anne and Sprig to a Mexican restaurant where, after having a hearty meal, a mariachi trio arrives at their booth.)
|
| ♪ Feliz cumpleaños, Sprig ♪ ♪ Feliz cumpleaños, Sprig ♪
|
| (The guitarist of the trio offers Sprig a sparkler-adorned flan, which he eats in one gulp. He lets out a fiery burp (literally) and discovers the restaurant is on fire. Anne and the trio take notice too, but to keep the birthday procession going, the trio perform a rock tune, much to Anne and Sprig's delight.)
|
| (The montage continues with Anne and Sprig pedaling a swan boat on a lake, a ride on the carousel, and a pit stop at a hill near the Hollywood sign.)
|
| Anne & Sprig
|
Eh.
|
| (The two walk away. The next item on the birthday list brings them outside of the Griffith Observatory. Anne pockets a small box in her shorts.)
|
| Sprig
|
Whew! Man, that place had everything-- big telescopes, crazy contraptions. And I met a new friend.
|
| Anne
|
That wasn't a friend. That was Security, yelling at you to get off the telescope.
|
| Sprig
|
Anne, on your Earth birthday, everyone is your friend.
|
| Anne
|
Now you're gettin' it.
|
| Happy birthday, kid!
|
| Cute balloons!
|
| Happy b-day, dude! It's actually my birthday too.
|
| Sprig
|
Wow. That was fun. Thanks for an incredible birthday, Anne. You know, at first, I couldn't understand why you'd make birthdays so special. And now I get it! Today was amazing.
|
| Anne
|
So was it the best birthday you've even had?
|
| Sprig
|
Oh! Definitely top three.
|
| Anne
|
What? That's it? I pull out all the stops, and I'm still third place to a couple of mud crowns?
|
| Sprig
|
Well...
|
| Anne
|
This will not stand! It is my duty as your friend to keep this party going until it's in the number one spot!
|
| Sprig
|
But haven't we done everything by this point?
|
| Anne
|
Not everything.
|
| ()
|
| Anne
|
Thanks, Dad. Be back soon.
|
| Mr. Boonchuy
|
No worries. I'll just be over here, reading great American literature. (chuckling) Simply brilliant.
|
| ()
|
| Sprig
|
Whoa! We get to ride in one of these?
|
| Anne
|
Welcome, my friend, to Paradiso.
|
| Sprig
|
I'm gonna get a bird's-eye view of another world in a flying machine that's powered by fire? Whoo-hoo!
|
| Anne
|
Yes! (Sprig yelling) Sprig, what is it? What's wrong?
|
| Sprig
|
What the frog?
|
| ()
|
| Blair the Balloonist
|
Ah! Don't be startled, child. This balloon only looks scary because it was re-purposed from a horror movie promotional piece.
|
| Anne
|
What? How could you think that was a good idea?
|
| Blair the Balloonist
|
Well, we weren't about to waste a perfectly good clown balloon. Anyways, the name's Blair, the balloonist. I take it you're... (horn honks) ...here for the birthday package?
|
| Anne
|
Yep.
|
| Sprig
|
I'm eleven now.
|
| Blair the Balloonist
|
Well, hop aboard, explorers! Couple of quick safety rule before we-- (phone beeps) Oopsie! High wind alert. Sorry, guys, but it's too risky to fly just now.
|
| Anne
|
But it's his birthday!
|
| Sprig
|
(whines)
|
| Blair the Balloonist
|
You make a strong argument, but no can do.
|
| Anne & Sprig
|
(sigh)
|
| Anne
|
Can we at least sit in the basket and imagine we're flying?
|
| Blair the Balloonist
|
Yeah. Heck, you don't even need me for that. Just give me holler when you've had enough.
|
| Sprig
|
Wow! We get to use our imaginations? Neat!
|
| Anne
|
Forget that!
|
| ()
|
| Sprig
|
Whoa! Isn't this risky?
|
| Anne
|
Relax. We're still tethered to the ground. What's the worst that could happen? Come on. Let's seal the deal and make this the best birthday ever!
|
| Sprig
|
Yeah!
|
| Anne & Sprig
|
(gasps) Whoa...
|
| Anne
|
Wowza.
|
| Sprig
|
Unforgettable.
|
| ()
|
| Anne
|
N-N-No!
|
| Anne & Sprig
|
Oh, my frog!
|
| Blair the Balloonist
|
Hmm?
|
| Anne & Sprig
|
Whoa!
|
| Sprig
|
We're gonna die!
|
| Blair the Balloonist
|
Oh, I am definitely getting fired for this. Honk honk!
|
| ()
|
| Sprig
|
We're gonna hit something!
|
| Anne
|
Ow! Not if I can help it. I'll control the altitude, you use your tongue to steer us.
|
| Sprig
|
Got it!
|
| Anne & Sprig
|
Huh? (scream)
|
| ()
|
| Anne & Sprig
|
Yes, yes! We're amazing!
|
| ()
|
| Anne
|
Down, down. Gotta go down!
|
| ()
|
| Helicopter Driver
|
What?
|
| ()
|
| Anne
|
Wow! You're gettin' pretty good at that.
|
| Sprig
|
Thanks.
|
| Anne
|
Huh?
|
| ()
|
| Anne
|
Whoa!
|
| Sprig
|
Don't open your mouth!
|
| Therapy Patient
|
Well, Doc, I think you've done it. I think you've cured me of my fear of direct eye contact! (screaming)
|
| (After the balloon flies past the building, the patient flips the table and runs out in fear. Outside, a plane writes "Will you marry me?" with its exhaust. Tyler is on the sidewalk proposing to his boyfriend.)
|
| Tyler
|
Hon, look behind you.
|
| Man
|
No, Tyler, I will not clown face you.
|
| (This is due to the balloon covering the word "marry", much to Tyler's dismay. At an open-air restaurant, a woman sits alone at her table.)
|
| Comedian Lady
|
(sighs) I just don't know what to do. Should I quit my office job to pursue my passion of stand-up comedy? Lord, send me a sign!
|
| (The balloon flies behind her. Taking notice, she puts on a polka dot bow tie and pulls out a microphone.)
|
| Comedian Lady
|
Hey! Have you guys heard the one about the lady who probably just made a really bad decision?
|
| (Cut back to Sprig and Anne. The former spits out goose feathers.)
|
| Anne
|
That was... a lot of geese. (screams) Sprig, look!
|
| Anne & Sprig
|
(screaming)
|
| ()
|
| Sprig
|
We can't move in time.
|
| Anne
|
We have to jump!
|
| ()
|
| Anne
|
I didn't even get to give you your present!
|
| Sprig
|
You got me a present?
|
| Anne
|
Yeah, dude. It's your birthday.
|
| ()
|
| Fifty hot dogs, please.
|
| Hot Dog Stand Owner
|
Havin' a big party, eh?
|
| No. Why do you ask?
|
| ()
|
| Anne
|
Hey, that actually worked.
|
| ()
|
| Sprig
|
Blegh! Whoa! Now that was a horror show. Woof!
|
| Anne
|
(sighs) Well, I ruined your birthday. After all this time, I thought I'd be a better friend than this.
|
| Sprig
|
What? How so?
|
| Anne
|
Um, hello! I didn't even know it was your birthday today. I thought I could make it up to you with the craziest day ever. But it looks like I'm just a failure through and through.
|
| Sprig
|
Friend punch!
|
| Anne
|
Oh, wow. It's been a while since that happened.
|
| Sprig
|
Anne, you're my best friend because I love being with you. Not because you know what day I was born. And this birthday isn't top three because of the crazy stuff we did. It's top three because we got to spend it together.
|
| Anne
|
(whines, then tearfully) Really? It's, like, the sweetest thing anyone's ever said. Thanks, man. Okay. I've gotta know. What are your two top birthdays?
|
| Sprig
|
Well, birthday number one was the day I was actually born and given life.
|
| Anne
|
Oh. Well, that makes a lot of sense. What about number two?
|
| Sprig
|
That was when my mom and dad gave me this hat. My memory of it is a little fuzzy. But it's an iconic hat, right?
|
| Anne
|
Yeah. It is iconic. Oh, yeah. And here's the present I got you.
|
| Sprig
|
Yay! Whoa. It's a telescope with my name engraved on it. Thanks, Anne.
|
| Anne
|
You're welcome, dude. Okay. Let's go home because I don't wanna look at that clown anymone.
|
| Sprig
|
I see it whenever I close my eyes.
|
| Anne
|
Well, dude, another day, another adventure resolved with no loose ends.
|
| ()
|
| Mr. Boonchuy
|
Anne, come on! When is this balloon ride supposed to be over?
