| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| (Open on Joe Sparrow flying through the sky. Hop Pop is sitting in a sling called the "Hop Pocket" while everyone else is in the saddle seat, all of them wearing winter wear.) | |
| Sprig | Hey. Look. Wooly Mantises! |
| (The group observes them and is amazed. Joe Sparrow lands but slips on the icy path causing the group to gasp from the pressure. They end up in a mound of snow and come out of it.) | |
| Marcy | Welcome to the Amphibian Arctic, everyone! |
| Anne, Sprig, Polly & Hop Pop | Whoooa.. |
| Marcy | I triangulated the tracking beam from the green stone and... (Takes the green stone out of its case and its beam appears pointing at a part, but it is cut off by Hop Pop.) |
| Polly | Hop Pop, move. |
| Hop Pop | Oh! (chuckles) Sorry. (Bends down on the snow and thus clears the way of the beam.) |
| Anne | (points direction) The second temple must be right through there. |
| (Anne, the Plantars and Marcy follow the green tracking beam and after passing a group of trees they come across an arch which they assume is the entrance to the Second Temple. A phrase appears in blue in ancient language.) | |
| Marcy | (reading aloud while translating) "Just beyond these snowy gates, a grueling perilious temple awaits". (keeps the green stone in a pocket. Anne and the Plantars reunite with her) |
| Polly | Uuumm... no, it doesn't. (The place is shown to have nothing but flat land. The wind is whistling.) |
| Marcy | Hmm... Weird. |
| Sprig | Could it be invisible? (looks for the temple with his hand, but then chooses to lean on it, but falls) |
| Marcy | All the ancient texts about this temple were super vauge. They just mentioned the word "heart" a lot. |
| Hop Pop | OK. Are we (makes a heart with his hands) looking for something heart-shaped? |
| Polly | Maybe we have to rip someone's heart out! |
| Polly and Hop Pop | (looking at Anne) Hmm? (looking at Marcy) Hmm? |
| (A bird passes by the group while cackling. The group screams in fright and ducks to avoid it. The bird will go through the arch. Anne begins to recognize it.) | |
| Anne | Hey, wait! I know that crazy bird! |
| (The group follows the bird, as they cross the arch.) | |
| Bird | (caws) Bird! |
| (The group ends up in a store as the bird walks into it. Anne and Sprig see the sign.) | |
| Sprig | "Valeriana"? Anne, didn't we meet her in the Bizarre Bazaar? |
| Anne | Yeah! Oh! And she said she's been all over Amphibia, right? (the group approaches the store) Maybe she's seen the temple. (sees an "Out of Lunch" sign and grunts) Why is she always out of lunch? |
| Valeriana | (Shouts offscreen) Because it's the most important meal of the day! (the group listens to her and gasps when they see her coming out of a part) It's been a while, creature. (eats the last piece of meat from her stick) What brings you here? Do you by chance... (throws the stick in the air and reveals that it is her cane) seek a temple to charge an (points at Anne with her cane) ancient stone? |
| Anne | Oh, yes! You know about the stones? |
| Valeriana | Indeed. (puts her cane in normal position) But do you really think you are worthy? |
| Anne | Well... Yeah! |
| Marcy | Totally! |
| Valeriana | We shall see. |
| Marcy | Oh, (gives her a hand) I'm Marcy, bt-dubs. |
| Valeriana | Uh... (gives her her hand-tail) nice to meet you. |
| Hop Pop | And I'm Hop Pop. |
| Valeriana | Uh... hi. |
| Polly | Polly here. |
| Valeriana | Sure. |
| (Anne, the Plantars, and Marcy meet with Valeriana inside the store.) | |
| Valeriana | I am the last of an ancient order. Our purpose was to study the sacred stones and (shows them a scroll) temples. |
| Marcy | Ooh! So, you know where the temple is? |
| Valeriana | Indeed. And you possess the music box? |
| Anne | Sure do. (takes out the Calamity Box from her backpack) |
| Valeriana | (looks attracted) After all these years, it has returned. I should very much like to hold it. |
| Anne | Uh... I'd rather hold on to it. (puts the Calamity Box in her backpack) |
| Valeriana | Suit (gets up) yourself. (goes to a closet and takes out warm clothes) To get to the temple, we must climb the freezing cliffs of Mount Mutu. Leave your flimsy jackets and (passes the group) wear these caterpilar-wool coats instead. |
| Sprig | Woo. |
| Polly | So fuzzy. |
| Valeriana | Since this temple is my responsibility, you all must do exactly as (points to them) I say. Or else you can say goodbye to ever finding it. Are we clear? |
| Anne, Sprig, Polly and Marcy | Clear! |
| Hop Pop | Clear and comfy. |
| Valeriana | Good. Follow me. |
| (Valeriana leaves the store, while the Plantars and Marcy follow her, but Anne stops Sprig to talk to her in private.) | |
| Anne | Something's not right about this lady. |
| Sprig | Huh? |
| Anne | Didn't you see how she looked at the music box? Plus, she owns a parrot. Only bad guys own parrots. |
| Sprig | That's ridiculous, Anne. Now come on or they'll leave us behind! |
| (Sprig leaves the store to follow Valeriana and Anne groans suspiciously.) | |
| (Minutes later, Anne, the Plantars, and Marcy climb the Mount Mutu.) | |
| Valeriana | Quickly, you three! I'd like to reach the temple in this century. How could adventurers so lazy ever except to conquer the temple? |
| Anne | [groans] Don't listen to her, guys. We're almost there. |
| (Valeriana inconspicuously starts whistling and attracts a large red-feathered passerine bird with four eyes, hovering above Anne, Marcy and the Plantars. It shrieks down, causing everyone but Marcy to scream.) | |
| Polly | Get away! Get away! |
| Marcy | Oh, relax, everyone. It's just a cardinal. They don't eat frogs. She's just saying "hello"! (The cardinal suddenly picks up Marcy in its beak.) Wahh! |
| Anne | (gasps) Marcy! |
| (Anne catches Marcy off the cardinal's beak. The cardinal averts its attention to the Plantars, with Hop Pop holding onto the snowy ledge.) | |
| Anne | You said it doesn't eat frogs! |
| Marcy | I-I was sure that-- Wait! Cardinals eat caterpillars. It wants our coats! (Sprig and Polly try to pull Hop Pop up, but narrowly avoids the cardinal's beak.) |
| Sprig | No! We need these coats to stay warm. |
| Polly | And look good! |
| Hop Pop | Marcy! What do we do?! |
| Marcy | Let me think! Let me think! |
| Anne | There's no time! (She immediately takes off her coat and throws it down the mountain; the cardinal flies down after it.) Now let's get outta here! |
| (Anne frantically climbs up to a safe floor on the mountain with Marcy and the Plantars following her. Anne starts shivering terribly without her coat.) | |
| Hop Pop | You saved us, Anne! Here, take my coat. |
| Anne | No! You frogs will turn into ice without protection. I'll be okay as long as we reach the temple soon. (Valeriana suddenly berates Anne with her hand-tail.) |
| Valeriana | It won't be soon! You think it wise that you abandoned your coat? |
| Anne | Well, I had to do something. |
| Valeriana | Impulsive (hits Anne with her staff) and defensive! (Walks aways from her.) Very unworthy qualities, I must say. |
| Sprig | Don't worry, Anne. We'll huddle around you for warmth. |
| (The Plantars huddle on Anne's legs. Anne follows Marcy to catch up with Valeriana but struggles to walk on the way.) | |
| Anne | Hop Pop, did you gain weight? |
| Hop Pop | It's impolite to ask, Anne. |
It's so fortunate that the music box
fell into such average hands.
How exactly did it come into you possession?
Uh... Uh-uh.
You know? I don't remember how we got it.
[rumbling]
Huh... What was that?
Nothing much. Just an avalanche.
[all] What? Everybody run!
Shush, you loud little frog baby!
[rumbling]
Whew. Looks like it's heading away from us.
[Anne] Wait a second. Look!
What about that little hut? It looks like someone inside.
We have to save them!
How? By running towards an avalanche?
They are lost, child. I say we press on.
[groans]
Nuts to that!
[all] Anne!
[grunts] Hey! You guys gotta get outta-- Huh?
How is eveyone out to lunch right now?
-[rumbling] -[grunting]
Anne! We gotcha!
[grunting]
You okay? [pants] I'm fine. I'm fine.
Let's just hurry and get to the temple.
[Valeriana] Oh, that won't be happening.
I've learned all I need to know about you lot.
Disobedient, foolish, impulsive.
None of these qualities are worthy of the sacred stones.
You don't deserve my help.
Good luck finding that temple on your own.
You are full of such frog spit!
[all gasp]
Oh, come on. You barely even gave us a chance!
Not only that, now you're gonna strand us out here?
Well, we may be unworthy, but you and your order are even worse!
You're nothing but a cruel, judgmental snob!
[echoes]
Brat!
You dare insult the order I have dedicated my entire life to?
Yeah? What're you gonna do about it?
Huh?
Did you guys see that?
Huh? Whoa!
Where are we?
What did you do?
Just show me and my friends where the temple is already.
Never. You are not worthy.
In fact, none are worthy!
And now that I finally have you alone,
I can return the box to its rightful guardian...
me!
Huh? [squawks]
Hey, wait! No!
No! I need that to get home!
[Valeriana] Aha! See?
Still only thinking of yourself!}} !Anne |You're wrong! I'm not... that selfish! |-
!Valeriana
|Oh no? Didn't you lie to the Plantars to get out of a day of work?
|-
!Anne
|[panting] How-- How do you know that? Whoa!
|-
!Valeriana
|Didn't you drive the family snail even though you were told not to?
|-
!Anne
|[grunts] Okay. This is getting weird. What else do you know?
|-
!Valeriana
|I know that you snore.
|-
!Anne
|Could've kept that one to yourself. Whoa!
|-
!Valeriana
|Didn't you still Hopediah's wallet for a girls' day on the town?
|-
|colspan=2 align=center|Okay. That is definitely
not how that happened.
But you did steal the music box. Did you not?
I... I... I did steal it.
So it is. You are a liar and a thief!
And now, the box will be mine!
[laughs]
[screams, grunts]
[laughing]
Why are you laughing?
You can't get back down the mountain without me.
Ha! You have to save me.
Don't I just wave the stick up and down to get back?
You weren't supposed to figure that out! [screams]
[grunts]
[grunts, sighs]
[sighs] You risked your life to save me?
But why?
You were right. I did lie and steal.
If that makes me unworthy, fine.
Those bad choices were mine and I'll own them.
But making them taught me that it's always better to do the right thing.
So that's what I did, regardless of how much I didn't want to.
We have been waiting for someone like you for such a long time.
Um... excuse me?
Whoa, mama. You clean up nice.
You have sacrificed your warmth for your friends,
your safety for a stranger in need.
You even risked your life for an enemy.
But empathy alone isn't enough, for what is heart without responsibility?
In the name of the temple,
I declare you worthy.
Wait! No way! So the cardinal, the avalanche--
-All this was-- -A trial.
You see, we've been making our way through the "temple" this whole time.
And I have been testing you.
[squawks] Testing you!
[clears throat] So, what is it you want?
Oh, right. To charge the stone and return home!
So be it!
[grunts]
[beeping]
It's a lot slower than last time.
Sorry. This thing's pretty old.
Ah! No, no, no. I get it. No problem.
Do you want, uh, something to read or...
Seriously, it's fine. [Plantars screaming]
Oh, no! They're in trouble. What if it's another avalanche?
Uh, that looks charged enough. Let's go!
Send me back! Send me back! Send me back! Send me back!
[wind howling]
Send me back! Oh!
[screaming] Hang on, guys!
I got you! Huh?
Anne!
Marcy is showing us ridiculously cute animal videos on her phone.
We looked for you, but now we're taking a break.
Anne, you're all right.
And that's not all, fam.
Wha-pow!
[all] Ooh! Whoo!
But how? I'll explain later.
But for now, can we please get out of this cold?
[laughs] Yeah!
Way to go, Anne! Way to go!
[Polly] Anne!
Maybe Frobo can make us hot chocolate when we get back.
-Oooh! -[Polly] Yay!
-[Sprig] Yes! -[Anne] That sounds great. |-
