Dialogue
|
| It starts in a Thrift Store on Earth as a car drives by.
|
| Cut to the inside of the Store.
|
| Old Man
|
(picks up shirt) Ah, this is a good shirt.
|
| Anne
|
All right, Anne. You can do this.
|
| Saleswoman
|
(snoring)
|
| Anne takes a music box with three colored gems in it, puts it in her backpack, and one of her friends gives her thumbs up as she walks away.
|
| Muzak playing on the speakers.
|
| At night, Anne has the box next to her friends, she opens it. Suddenly, she walks into the first 2 seconds of the intro.
|
| Anne wakes up in the same room from the end of the previous episode.
|
| Anne
|
(screams, gasps) Guys, guys, guys. I just had the craziest dream. I was trapped in a world of frog pe-- Oh.
|
| Hop Pop
|
(croaks)
|
| Anne
|
(hugs her legs) Right.
|
| Sprig
|
Hey, Anne. Sleep good?
|
| Hop Pop
|
Careful, boy! It could be hungry.
|
| Polly
|
For your guts!
|
| Anne
|
Dude, relax. I am not gonna eat something that clearly doesn't bathe.
|
| There are flies buzzing around Hop Pop. He eats one.
|
| Hop Pop
|
Fair point.
|
| Sprig
|
See? Told you it was harmless.
|
| Hop Pop
|
Hmph. For now.
|
| Polly
|
Just give me an excuse to use old Doris here.
|
| Polly and Hop Pop leave the room.
|
| Anne
|
I think the little one wants to kill me.
|
| Sprig
|
Yup. So, you must be so excited to be trapped in another world. Very jealous. Oh!
|
| Anne
|
(chuckles) It's not all that. I miss my home and my stuff and especially... my friends. Without them, I just feel kind of lost. You know?
|
| Sprig
|
Well, then, why don't I be your friend in the meantime?
|
| Anne
|
You?
|
| Sprig
|
Me!
|
| Anne
|
You.
|
| Sprig
|
Come on. It'll be fun! What did you do together?
|
| Anne
|
Everything. Marathon dumb TV shows, drink boba till we vomited, hung out at the beach...
|
| Sprig
|
Oh, we've got a lake. Would going there with me make you feel less homesick?
|
| Anne
|
Hmm. (Looks at her photo, then Sprig)
|
| Sprig
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. (Anne looks at the photo again) Is gon' be great.
|
| Anne
|
(giggling) I like your moxie, frog child. Let's do it!
|
| In a quick montage, Anne gets ready and leaves the room in a bathing suit.
|
| Sprig
|
You ready to go?
|
| Anne
|
Yeah-ah!
|
| Anne & Sprig
|
Hey, hey, hey!
|
| Hop Pop
|
And where do you two think you're going?
|
| Sprig
|
We're going to the lake. Ooh. Ow.
|
| Anne
|
Why? You want in? You wanna come?
|
| Hop Pop
|
Absolutely not! Look, Anne. You're a new, unsettling, strange, bizarre, gangly, horrifying--
|
| Anne
|
Thanks. I got it.
|
| Hop Pop
|
Point is, the frogs in this town can be pretty small-minded.
|
| Frog
|
Oh, hey, Hopediah.
|
| Hop Pop
|
And paranoid. We just need to give 'em time to get used to ya. I think it's best you stay put.
|
| Anne
|
But--
|
| Hop Pop
|
No buts. Now I'm gonna go into my study to get a little reading done.
|
| Sprig
|
Uh, Hop Pop.
|
| Hop Pop
|
Don't do anything stupid!
|
| Anne
|
Ugh! Adults are all the same. Curfews. Rules. Old.
|
| Sprig
|
Yeah, looks like we're stuck here. Ooh! I know what'll be fun. Let's try some of Hop Pop's pain peppers. So hot, they'll make you wish you were dead. (screaming) Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! (gurgling) Someone just kill me, please! Bleh. Your turn.
|
| Anne
|
No, thanks. I'd rather go to the lake.
|
| Sprig
|
Ahh-- What? But Hop Pop said, uh--
|
| Anne
|
Sprig, you wanna know the best thing about friendship? When you got your friend by your side, anything is possible. Whatever you want, a real friend will help you get. And you know what I want?
|
| Sprig
|
The lake!
|
| Anne
|
Yup. Now let's go rob an old man!
|
| Sprig
|
Ew.
|
| Anne
|
Yeah, that didn't sound as cool as I wanted it to.
|
| Cut to Hop Pop's room.
|
| Anne
|
Any ideas?
|
| Sprig
|
Ooh! What if we use fishing line to lower me from the ceiling? Then I grab the key right out of Hop Pop's pocket. I'll move like a shadow.
|
| Sprig accidentally knocks over a vase, but Anne catches it before it hits the floor.
|
| Sprig
|
Shadows knock things over sometimes.
|
| Anne
|
Do you hear that?
|
| Hop Pop is heard snoring.
|
| Anne
|
No way. This might be the creepiest thing I've ever seen.
|
| Sprig
|
Happens all the time. He makes a great scarecrow.
|
| Anne takes the key from Hop Pop's pocket and they leave the room.
|
| Anne
|
(sniffs) Know what this smells like?
|
| Sprig
|
(inhales, blubbering as he licks the key) A key that's been in an old man's pocket?
|
| Anne
|
Freedom!
|
| Sprig
|
That was my next guess!
|
| Cut to the forest.
|
| Anne
|
(sighs) This is great. Two pals beatin' the odds to have some fun. Here. Smile! Whoa. (take a photo with the phone) Hey, that turned out great.
|
| Sprig
|
I don't know what's crazier, that you just stole my soul in a tiny box, or that we look so incredible. I gotta say, this friend business is amazing!
|
| Anne
|
Didn't you have friends before I showed up?
|
| Sprig
|
Uh...
|
| Flashback: Two little frogs are playing.
|
| Little Frog
|
(giggles) Your turn.
|
| Sprig
|
Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys! Check this out! Aaah!
|
| The little frogs get scared and scream.
|
| Sprig
|
Aaah! Help! It's eating me alive! Ha-ha! I'm just kidding, guys. Aaah! Aaah!
|
| End of flashback.
|
| Sprig
|
Kids around here don't really get me.
|
| Anne
|
(hit Sprig) Well, hey, they are missin' out. Come on.
|
| Sprig
|
So, is punching part of friendship?
|
| Anne
|
Absolutely.
|
| Cut to a scene at the lake.
|
| Sprig
|
We made it.
|
| Anne
|
Whoa. It's beautiful. You ready, dude? Yeah! Whoa-ho!
|
| Sprig
|
Whoo-hoo! Yeah!
|
| They stop because they read a sign that says "No swimming."
|
| Anne
|
Oh.
|
| Sprig
|
Oh. This was not here last week.
|
| Anne
|
Huh. Hmm. I know exactly what's going on here. Some jerk just wants this beautiful lake all to themselves. Well, forget that.
|
| Sprig
|
Ah, I don't know, Anne. Whoever wrote this wrote it in a hurry, like they were scared to be here.
|
| Anne
|
Or maybe they just had bad handwriting. Come on. Don't be a buzzkill. Ooh, that's nice. (Sprig holds his arm with his tongue) Hey, what are you doing?
|
| Sprig
|
Something's not right here. Let's just go back.
|
| Anne
|
Ugh, I thought you were trying to be my friend.
|
| Sprig
|
I am.
|
| Anne
|
Well, this is what friends do. Remember? They help each other get the things they want.
|
| Sprig
|
Huh?
|
| Anne
|
Look, if a friend likes a pencil case, you get it for them. If your friend likes your new shoes, you give them to her. And if a friend wants you to steal a crazy music box from a thrift store, even if you don't really want to, you do it, okay? Because if you don't, they might not want to be your friend anymore.
|
| Sprig
|
Fine.
|
| Anne
|
Fine.
|
| Sprig
|
(scream as he runs to the lake) Whoo-hoo!
|
| Anne
|
Ah, yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! Cannonball!
|
| Several scenes of Anne and Sprig enjoying the lake are shown.
|
| Anne takes a photo of Sprig and a water snake appears behind him.
|
| Anne
|
Uh...
|
| Sprig
|
I was blinking, wasn't I?
|
| The snake threatens Anne and Sprig, they scream and swim away, with Sprig being faster.
|
| Anne
|
Stupid non-webbed human hands.
|
| They stop at a water lily.
|
| Sprig
|
Anne! Ah. That explains the sign.
|
| Anne
|
Sprig, I'm just slowing you down, buddy. Get out of here. This was my fault anyway. I should have listened to you.
|
| Sprig
|
Friend punch! (hit Anne)
|
| Anne
|
Ow! Hey.
|
| Sprig
|
Never! I'm not about to let my first real friend get eaten. We're in this together.
|
| The snake surrounds them.
|
| Anne
|
Uh, any ideas? (Sprig jump to Anne's hair)Ah! What are you doing?
|
| Sprig
|
I have a plan. Stand up!
|
| Anne
|
Uh, okay.
|
| Sprig
|
When I count to three, duck.
|
| Anne
|
What? Are you crazy?
|
| Sprig
|
Just trust me. All right. One, two... three!
|
| Sprig jumps and the snake swallows him.
|
| Anne
|
Sprig! Vengeance! (hits the snake with a stick) Take this and this! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, whoa! Whoa!
|
| She is thrown into the lake. She gasps as the water snake appears above her, only to begin emitting smoke from its mouth and spit out a screaming Sprig.
|
| Anne
|
You're alive. What did you do?
|
| Sprig
|
(pulls out a pain pepper) So hot, they'll make you wish you were dead.
|
| Anne
|
You little genius, you.
|
| Sprig
|
And it looks like he couldn't take the heat.
|
| They both laugh. They hear the snake again.
|
| Anne
|
Run!
|
| Sprig
|
Death approaches!
|
| Cut to Hop Pop's room.
|
| Hop Pop
|
(sighs, mumbles) (gasps) I'm up! I'm awake! The key. It's gone! Oh, no. Did they get out? Is the town rioting? Are they dead? Has Anne eaten the kids, the whole town? (panting) What's this now? It's still locked. (watch from the basement door)
|
| Anne
|
(dice rattling) Come on. Mama needs a new pair of shoes. Seriously though, I do need new shoes.
|
| Hop Pop
|
You guys been here all day, huh?
|
| Anne
|
Yeah, dude. I'm on a winning streak.
|
| Sprig
|
I owe her my first-born child.
|
| Anne
|
Oh, by the way, Hop Pop. We found this on the floor. You must have dropped it.
|
| Hop Pop
|
Dang shallow pockets. Well, you get what you pay for.
|
| Hop Pop leaves the basement. Polly appears.
|
| Polly
|
Aha!
|
| Anne
|
'Sup, Polly?
|
| Polly
|
You're not gonna eat us, are you? You're not even gonna try. Dis... appointing.
|
| Polly leaves too. Anne and Sprig close the door and huff.
|
| Anne
|
(sighs dramatically) Hey, sorry I almost got us killed today.
|
| Sprig
|
Are you kidding? That was the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me! My heart was beating faster than a dragonfly on a sugar rush. In fact, I'm feeling a little... sleepy.
|
| Sprig falls asleep and Anne picks him up and places him in her bed. She looks at the photo and then at Sprig, who croaks in his sleep.
|
| Anne
|
Sasha, Marcy, I hope you guys are okay, because I am.
|
| Cut to a tower while it rains and lightning strikes.
|
| Captain Grime
|
Take a look at this please, Sasha. It was found far from here, in the South Forest. Now we know that you've been lying to us. Now we know that there are more of you.
|
| Lightning strikes and illuminates the cell where Sasha is locked up.
