Dialogue
|
| (The episode begins with Anne taking fresh cookies out of the oven. Mrs. Boonchuy looks out the kitchen window and sees the current state of the Plantars.)
|
| Mrs. Boonchuy
|
Question. Why are the Plantars flooding our lawn?
|
| Anne
|
Sorry. That's on me. (takes off her oven mitts) They've been really homesick lately, and I thought a swamp might cheer them up.
|
| Mrs. Boonchuy
|
(peeks at the window) They don't look very cheery.
|
| (Outside the lawn, the Plantars were laying down in the mud, not in a happy way. All of them groan.)
|
| Anne
|
They were for a bit, but then they weren't. So now, I'm making them cookies. (makes puppy-dog eyes and stares at the cookies) The answer to all of life's problems.
|
| Mrs. Boonchuy
|
(facepalms) Anne, you can't keep giving them things just because you feel bad. They need to learn how to cope on their own.
|
| Anne
|
Maybe you're right. I'll go talk to them.
|
| (As Anne exits out the kitchen, Mrs. Boonchuy grabs a cookie and eats one.)
|
| Mrs. Boonchuy
|
Mmm. How did you get them so crunchy?
|
| Anne
|
Oh, that's the cicadas. Thanks, mom!
|
| (Several bugs that was inside in Mrs. Boonchuy's cookie move a little bit. She stands there shocked.)
|
| Mr. Boonchuy
|
Do I smell cookies?
|
| (Mrs. Boonchuy spits the cookie at Mr. Boonchuy. Outside the lawn, the Plantars were laying down as the hose turns off.)
|
| Anne
|
Guys, I know you're homesick. But I don't think any of this is helping.
|
| Hop Pop
|
(groans) Anne's right, kids. This was nice, but let's clean this up and get back to the village.
|
| (The Plantars walked past Anne.)
|
| Anne
|
Sorry, the what now?
|
| Hop Pop
|
Why? Our miniature creation of Wartwood, of course. (opens the bush and shows Anne their creation of Wartwood. It shows the various creations that they made) (high-pitched) May I have this dance, tiny Sylvia?
|
| (Sprig and Polly goes to their creation of their home, whimpering.)
|
| Anne
|
Okay, this can't be healthy. (her phone rings and she answers after realizing Dr. Jan is calling her) Hey, Dr. Jan. Tell me you've got good news.
|
| Dr. Jan
|
Great news, actually. I've got a lead! One of my collegues (grabs a folder of one of the collegues) knows a string theory expert who works in the area!
|
| Anne
|
Uhh?
|
| Dr. Jan
|
In other words, we found someone who might be your ticket back to Amphibia!
|
| Anne
|
Wow! Just wait till I tell the Plantars.
|
| Dr. Jan
|
I wouldn't just yet. There are a lot of loose cannons in the scientific community. And I'd like to vet this (reads the name on the folder) "Dr. Frakes" before we meet her.
|
| Anne
|
Ok. Let me know when you're ready, Dr. Jan. (hangs up the phone and Sprig appeared out of nowhere, scaring her)
|
| Sprig
|
Is that Dr. Jan?!
|
| Polly
|
Sounded like she had news!
|
| Hop Pop
|
A lot of news!
|
| (The Plantars make puppy faces at her.)
|
| Anne
|
Sorry, guys. No good news to report.
|
| (The Plantars fall to the ground and become more depressed.)
|
| Sprig
|
Aaaaawww...
|
| Polly
|
Oooh, maan...
|
| Hop Pop
|
All right, kids, back to the tiny village.
|
| Anne
|
(nervous: lying) Just kidding! Dr. Jan found someone who might know how to get us back to Amphibia!
|
| Sprig
|
(stands up) HOLY COW!
|
| Polly
|
(stands up) (jumps for joy) Think they could gets us by the weekend?
|
| Hop Pop
|
(stands up) So what are we waiting for? Let's meet this wizard!
|
| Anne
|
(nervous) Well, we can't go right now. (looks them) Dr. Jan says... (The Plantars are about to get depressed again) thaaat... today is great! I haver her name. Let me look her up, and we can head on over.
|
| (The Plantars hugh Anne.)
|
| Polly and Hop Pop
|
You're the best, Anne!
|
| (The Plantars run into the house while rejoicing.)
|
| Anne
|
This is fine. It's a good idea. They need a nugget. (looks at the Wally's figurine) Right, fake Wally? (The Wally's figurine is shown. A wind makes him move his head side to side) OH, who (kicks it) asked you?
|
| (A couple of hours later, Anne and the Plantars arrive at Dr. Frakes' Brainasium.)
|
| Anne
|
(As she and the Plantars enter the place) According to the Internet, our scientist works right... here?
|
| Sprig, Polly and Hop Pop
|
Whooooa!
|
| (The interior of Dr. Frakes' Brainasium is shown. A boy plays a virtual reality pilot. A red-haired girl screams at a pipe and the scream reaches the other end, but bigger, causing a bigger scream to her father while he looked at hia cell phone. Now a worker is shown giving a car to 3 children.)
|
| Worker
|
...and whoever can answer the question (shows them a snack) gets a snack.
|
| Children 1
|
He got snacks! (The 3 children try to reach the sandwich in front of the worker.)
|
| (Back with Anne and the Plantars...)
|
| Polly
|
(While Sprig looks everywhere and moves his fingers) Whoa. So this is where thay keep all the dark Earth magic.
|
| Hop Pop
|
(talks Anne) I can't believe we'll be going home soon.
|
| Anne
|
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We're only here to ask some questions. Now stay close, the government's still on our tail.
|
| (Anne and the Plantars walk casually and arrive at the principal's office. Anne knocks on the door and a girl with blue hair opens it.)
|
| Blue-haired girl
|
(groans) I keep telling you kids, we don't have extra snacks back here. Oh, hello. Are you here to see Dr. Frakes?
|
| Sprig
|
Yeeeah!
|
| Polly
|
Absolutely!
|
| Hop Pop
|
We want to meet the doctor! (Anne scolds them) I mean, maybe.
|
| Sprig
|
No big deal.
|
| Polly
|
Meh...
|
| Anne
|
Is she available?
|
| Blue-haired girl
|
Only by appointment. Sorry.
|
| Anne
|
Ooh... (talks to the Plantars) Well, we tried.
|
| (Anne looks at the Plantars. They strike a dog-pleading pose while she has her eyes sobbing. The blue-haired girl is about to close the door, but Anne stops her.)
|
| Anne
|
Wait. Actually we are... reporters (nervous) and we were just wondering if you could answer some questions about inter-dimensional travel.
|
| Blue-haired girl
|
Aren't you a bit young to be a reporter?
|
| The director
|
(pushes her) Silence, Terri! At last, the media has caught wind of my amazing discovery!
|
| Hop Pop
|
(raise his hand) What kind of discovery?
|
| The director
|
Oh, nothing big. Just a portal to another dimension!
|
| Anne, Sprig, Polly and Hop Pop
|
DID YOU SAY PORTAL?
|
| The director
|
Now come with me. (guides them inside the office) Terri, music!
|
| (After entering. Terri sighs and closes the door. She then plays a playlist titled "Dr. Frakes Super-Mega Cool Playlist 2003".)
|
| The director
|
The great Dr. Frakes may current current be stuck running the Brainasium and looking after hordes of snot-nosed brats, but that doesn't mean my research has stopped! Oh no! (shows them) Behold! Frakes Ferrofluid! Over here is an example of a Frakes Fractal. Look over here! My Frakes Field!
|
| Polly
|
Wow! So many things thing named after you.
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
(As the group reaches a room) Well, science is the pursuit of naming thing after yourself. (Sprig bumps into Anne)
|
| Terri
|
Huh. I thought it was the pursuit of knowledge.
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
Don't be stupid, Terri!
|
| (Terri puts her ID card on the scanner to open the door. The group enters the room.)
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
Voilà! (shows them) The Frakes Portal Chamber! (Anne and the Plantars are impressed) It all began a few months ago...
|
| (A flashback begins, right on the night that Anne opens the Calamity Box and was transported along with Sasha and Marcy.)
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
(She is narrating) when the city was hit with a wave of very strange energy.
|
| (It is shown that the energy is transmitted through the electrical cables, and just in one part it reaches a room where Dr. Frakes are listening to music and Terri using a microscope. The energy alters the entire room and they notice it and a volatile absorbing portal forms on a pair of giant antennas. Terri grabs onto Dr. Frakes to prevent herself from being sucked in, while her music player was sucked into the portal. The portal closes and they both end up impressed.)
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
Since then, we've been able to repeat the anomaly several times...
|
| (Back to the present...)
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
But no matter how many times I do it. no one believes me! (walks towards some monitors) Everyone says that my images are faked. Hard to get a good picture with all (monitors turn on) that magnetic distortion. (Anne and the Plantars gasp) But here today, (turns) I will prove otherwise! Now... who's ready to see me burst through space-time?
|
| Terri
|
Dr., this process is still very unstable and dangerous. Should we really involve civilians?
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
(imitating Terri's voice) "Unstable and dangerous". Fine! Fine! We'll let the press decide!
|
| Hop Pop
|
(talking to Anne) I think one of those pictures is Amphibia. I'm (grabs Anne from her shirt) almost somewhat certain about it!
|
| Anne
|
I'm not so sure, guys. The images look pretty fuzzy. And besides, we just came to ask questions.
|
| Sprig
|
OK, but can we at least look through it?
|
| Polly
|
(grabs Anne from her shirt) Please, Anne! We'd be able to see home again!
|
| Anne
|
No! We have no idea what will happen! It's too dangerous! (The Plantars fall to the ground and become even more depressed) (groans) Fine! Just a peek. But then you're not allowed to be sad for the rest of your lives. Got it?
|
| Sprig, Polly and Hop Pop
|
(stand up and rejoice) Yeah! (Sprig and Polly high five)
|
| Anne
|
All right, Dr. Frakes, let's see that portal.
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
That's what I'm talking about, baby!
|
| (Dr. Frakes runs to the portal computer, she readies the ignition, and by pressing the red button, a portal is opening.)
|
| Hop Pop
|
It's... (the portal gets bigger) (The Plantars begin to rejoice) IT'S... (The portal opens completely, but a different landscape to Amphibia is shown) (The Plantars grieve) Not Amphibia...
|
| (The portal suddenly closes and causes an electrical explosion, causing Anne and the Plantars to fall from the air wave. Meanwhile, the explosion causes a blackout throughout the Brainsium. The people notice it.)
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
(As she and Terri cough from the dust and they both stand up) Unfortunately, (while cleans) I can only hold the portal open for about 5 seconds before it collapses and-- (breaks off and along with Terry, they notice the Plantars) Uuuhhh... (points at them) were you three always talking frogs?
|
| (It can tell that the explosion took the Plantars out of their disguises. Sprig sits speechless while he lost his hat, mask, and right shoe. Polly stands up and she gasps as she notices that she lost all of her disguise. And it shows that Hop Pop lost all of his clothes and greets them while he giggles. Terri gasps.)
|
| Anne
|
(nervous) Ummm... so... I can explain it.
|
| Hop Pop
|
(While waving his arms) We're frogs people from another dimension!
|
| Sprig
|
(Jumps onto Anne and hugs her tight) We just wanna go hooomeee!
|
| Terri
|
(snaps) I knew they weren't reporters.
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
(Walks over to the Plants and takes some Hop Pop mucus to check it out) Hmm... (touches Polly's right eye)
|
| Polly
|
Ow...
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
I see... (sniffs the scent of Sprig) (Sprig gets nervous) Terri, clear my schedule. (pushes Anne) Frakes Field activate!
|
| (Dr. Frakes turns on her device that she wears on her right wrist, in which she forms a force field surrounding the Plantar and thus, completely enclosing them while they end up immobilized. Dr. Frakes runs them off while laughing maniacally.)
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
I can see the headlines now: "Freaks Frogs change the world"! I'll be the most famous scientist in history, as soon as I dissect you and catalog your organs.
|
| Anne
|
(runs after her) Come back with my frog family! (Terri follows her) Don't try to stop me, Terri!
|
| Terri
|
I'm not! Frakes may be an unparalleled genius but that doesn't mean she can just kidnap people. We have to stop her.
|
| Anne
|
(As they come to the door) Oh. Well, that's a nice turn. Let's do this!
|
| Anne and Terri
|
HI - (kick the door to open it) YAH! (runs after Dr. Frakes inside the Brainasium's living room)
|
| Terri
|
(Aims at Dr. Frakes as she enters the dissection lab running) There! The stairs! She's heading for the dissection lab!
|
| (Anne and Terri run to the dissection lab, but are intervened by a trio of starving children.)
|
| Child 2
|
(sniffs) (points at Terri) Snacks!
|
| Children 3 and 4
|
Snacks!
|
| Terri
|
Oh, no! (checks the inside pocket of her robe) My granola bar from lunch! (pushes Anne) Run, Anne! (the trio and one more child surround her) Go! I'll be fine!
|
| Red-haired girl
|
(as she walks down the stairs and then she goes after Terri) Ooh. Snacks.
|
| (Anne looks at Terri for a moment and then she starts to walk down the road. She runs upstairs, enters the dissection lab, kicks the door and enters. She stops to see the Plantars, who are terrified and tied up on the dissection table.)
|
| Polly
|
ANNE!
|
| Hop Pop
|
HELP!
|
| Sprig
|
Pokey things!
|
| (It is seen that Dr. Frakes handles some tools for dissection. Anne tries to open the door while she groans, but it is blocked and then she tries to smash the window, but she couldn't either.)
|
| Dr. Freaks
|
(While preparing a lever for dissection) You can't stop me, Anne. When I'm done, everyone know my name.
|
| Polly
|
You're crazy, Dr. Fink.
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
IT'S FRAKES!
|
| Polly
|
Whatever...
|
| Anne
|
(While wearing a large ear sample) Not today. (pounds the window while she groans but it didn't break) Dang it.
|
| Terri
|
Anne!
|
| Children 5
|
(while holding Terri by the right leg) Snacks...
|
| Terri
|
Here! Take my key card!
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
Don't you dare, Terri. One e-mail from me and you'll never work in any scientific field ever again. Do you really want to risk your entire career for these creatures?
|
| (Anne looks at Terry with a long face. Dr. Frakes gives an evil smile as she breathes hard.)
|
| Terri
|
Yep. (throws her card towards the access sensor and thus the door opens)
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
NOOOOOOOOO! (pulls all the levers with her right arm and thus the tools approach the Plantars fast, causing them more fright)
|
| Anne
|
(manages to stop the tools with the big ear sample) (frees the Plantars) Let's go! (grabs the Plantars and runs out of the room)
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
(chases Anne and the Plantars) Terri! (Terri locks the door and runs away) TERRI! STOP IT, TERRI! (bangs on the window while screaming in anger)
|
| (Anne, the Plantars and Terri escape, but Dr. Frakes leaves the room with the buzzsaw and she chases them.)
|
| Narrator of the penguin documentary
|
Behold the baby penguin, so noble, fluffly and precious.
|
| (Dr. Frakes slices the television in half with the buzzsaw while screaming, frightening the children. She continues with the chase.)
|
| Hop Pop
|
What do we do, Anne? She's after us and madder than a hornet!
|
| Anne
|
I have an idea. (the group stops) Terri, (hands the Plantars to her) take the Plantars and go. (Terri runs again while she has the Plantars) (faces Dr. Frakes)
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
Here's a physics lesson for you, Anne, I'm bigger than you and I have momentum. YOU CAN'T STOP ME!
|
| Anne
|
(takes out her bag of cookies) I have a lesson for you too... Cookies really are the answer to all of life's (throws the bag at her) problems.
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
(evil laugh) (takes the bag dropping the buzzsaw) Oh.
|
| Anne
|
HEY KIDS, SNACK TIME!
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
Huh?
|
| All the children
|
(Turns around to Dr. Frakes) COOOKIIEEES!! (runs to Dr. Frakes while are screaming)
|
| Dr. Frakes
|
What? NOOOOOOOOOOOO! (lifts the bag up) This is all your fault, Terri! (3 children grab her) YOU'LL NEVER WORK AGAIN, ARE YOU HEAR ME? (child 3 and another child dogpile on top of her) NEVER AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIN!!!! (ends up defeated by the disturbance of children)
|
| (Anne, the Plantars and Terri exit the Brainasium.)
|
| Hop Pop
|
Good thinking!
|
| Sprig
|
Nice job, Anne!
|
| Polly
|
Any cookies left?
|
| (Later in the evening, Terri takes Anne and the Plantars back to the Boonchuy residence inside her car.)
|
| Anne
|
(Talking the Plantars) Look, guys, I'm doing my best to get us back to Amphibia, OK? And I get how much you miss it, but you gotta stop guilting me. I can't resist!
|
| Sprig
|
Sorry, Anne.
|
| Hop Pop
|
We should have known better. The Plantars always did have powerful guiltin' skills.
|
| Anne
|
Yeah, but you cost this poor lady her job and nearly got dissected.
|
| Terri
|
I think you all actually did me a favor. Frakes was brilliant, but also a huge jerk. This whole thing reminded me that science is for helping others, not just helping yourself. And I think the portal we'll build together will be more than enough to get me a grant.
|
| Anne
|
Wait, you mean...
|
| Hop Pop
|
What?
|
| Sprig and Polly
|
(gasp)
|
| Terri
|
Yep. I'm gonna help you get these goobers home.
|
| Sprig, Polly and Hop Pop
|
(celebrate with joy)
|
| (The freeway is shown in a panoramic view.)
|
| Anne
|
Thanks, Terri. You're good people.
|
| Sprig
|
Hey, Terri, can I drive your car? Please!
|
| Terri
|
Aaawww, just look at that face. Well, OK. (gives the wheel to him)
|
| Anne, Polly and Hop Pop
|
Terri, no!
|
| (Sprig loses control of Terri's car, causing Anne, Polly, Hop Pop, and Terri to scream.)
|
