Zog and the Flying Doctors (2020) Movie Script
1
Hmm. Oh. Oh!
Boop.
Boop.
Hmm.
Oh! I want to be a doctor
and travel here and there,
listening to people's chests
and giving them my care.
Huh?
Hmm.
We doctors must help everyone who needs
us. It's our duty.
Hmm.
Your duty is to wear the crown,
and be a royal beauty.
Oh.
Meet the flying doctors.
A dragon, knight and girl.
Our names are...
Gadabout the Great.
And Zog.
And Princess Pearl.
Pearl gives people medicine
and pills and vaccinations.
And Gadabout is expert
at performing operations.
Whoo!
Zog is good at flying.
Whoohoo!
Hmm.
They're not quite so good at landing.
Hmm?
But Gadabout and Princess Pearl
are always understanding.
Flying high one morning,
they heard a mermaid wail.
- Oh!
- Hmm?
I'm sunburned! And it hurts!
She cried,
and swished her scaly tail.
Oh. Mm-hmm.
Bang, crash, thump!
They landed.
- Oh!
- Ow!
Whoop.
Ah!
Hmm?
The mermaid's skin was red.
Oh...
Pearl rubbed in some special cream.
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm.
- And wear this hat.
- She said.
- Ugh.
- Oh.
Um...
Hmm.
Hmm.
Ah!
Thank you, Dr. Princess Pearl.
The mermaid waved goodbye
as the team of flying doctors sped away
into the sky.
As the sun rose higher,
they saw a unicorn.
He pawed the ground and whinnied.
I've grown an extra horn!
Oh. Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Ow! Ow! Ah!
Bang, crash, thump, they landed.
Hmm?
- Hmm.
- Hmm.
Ah!
Hmm. Ah!
- Huh.
- Huh?
Hmm.
Hmm?
- Ah... I'll help you.
- Said the knight.
And he cut the horn off gently,
to the unicorn's delight.
Thank you, bold Sir Gadabout,
for taking so much care.
- Ah...
- Hmm.
And the team of flying doctors
sped away into the air.
Halfway through the afternoon,
they heard a lion sneeze.
I've caught the flu!
The lion roared.
Can someone help me, please?
Bang, crash, thump, they landed.
Huh.
Um...
Uh... hmm.
Aw.
- Ah...
- Oh.
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
Then Pearl said:
Take this pill.
And do keep warm.
That's terribly important when you're ill.
But the lion's cave was chilly.
So Zog said:
- Oh. Fetch some wood.
- Huh?
Mm...
Then he breathed out lots of flames,
until the fire burned bright and good.
Thank you, noble dragon.
I'm feeling nice and warm.
Ah. Hmm.
- Ah!
- Oh.
Then the team of flying doctors
sped away into the storm.
Ah!
As evening fell,
they saw a great, big palace down below.
- My uncle's house.
- Said Princess Pearl.
Let's go and say hello.
Ah!!
Bang, crash, thump, they landed.
Huh? Oh!
Oh!
Pearl's uncle is the king!
Tsk.
He didn't say hello. Instead...
he said:
You naughty thing!
- Where have you been?!
- He thundered.
You look an awful mess.
What's happened to your crown?!
And where's your pretty, frilly dress?
Hmm?
But, Uncle, can't you
see that I'm a doctor now?
Said Pearl. The king replied:
Princesses can't be doctors,
silly girl.
- Huh?
- Seize her! Don't let go of her.
Now, lock her up inside.
Ah! Oh.
- Let me go!
- Called Princess Pearl.
She stamped and stormed and cried.
Time went by...
and Princess Pearl spent many
weary hours sewing pretty cushions
and arranging pretty flowers.
- Ahem.
- Huh?
Hmm.
Hmm?
Mm.
Hmm. Oh!
Oh.
Hmm.
Ah.
Oh!
Huh? Oh!
Ahem.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Huh?
Hmm.
Oh?
The others tried to rescue her
with all their might and main.
Oh!
Oh. Ah!!
But they simply couldn't manage.
All their efforts were in vain.
Huh?
Aw. Hmm.
Hmm.
Oh!
Hmm.
Oh...
Hmm.
Each night, they flew to visit her...
and perched upon her sill.
And one dark night, she told them that:
The king has fallen ill.
Oh.
The king grew worse.
My head is sore,
my arms and legs feel weak.
His skin had turned bright orange,
and he found it hard to speak.
He called a lot of doctors.
A new one every day.
He croaked:
What is this illness?
But they simply couldn't say.
They didn't know the answer.
Oh!
But Pearl was pretty sure.
Oh!
Ah! It looks like orange fever.
And I think I've found the cure!
Hmm.
Grated horn of unicorn,
a mighty lion's sneeze,
some mermaid scales, a little slime.
And half pound of cheese?
Do your best to find them all,
and do be very quick.
My uncle could be dying.
He looks extremely sick.
Oh. Mm-hmm.
Away flew Zog and Gadabout.
They reached the lion's den.
Ah.
Bang, crash, thump, they landed.
He sneezed for them.
Argh!
And then they flew back
to the forest.
Where the grateful unicorn was very pleased
to give them his unwanted, sawn-off horn.
Hmm.
Back to the mermaid's rock they flew.
She gladly gave some scales.
And her sea-snail friends allowed them
to collect their slimy trails.
Oh.
Zog said:
I'm exhausted.
Hmm.
But he flew and flew until...
Bang, crash, thump,
they landed on the bedroom window sill.
- Hmm?
- Princess Pearl said:
Thank you for the slime, scales,
horn and sneeze.
Hmm. Oh.
She took it all and mixed it up...
with half a pound of cheese.
Hmm.
Ha!
Oh!
- Hmm.
- Ah!
Ah.
Hmm.
Yah!
She tiptoed to her uncle's room.
The king lay in his bed.
- Hmm.
- Huh? Oh!
You...
She held a spoonful to his mouth.
- Now open wide.
- She said.
Huh?
Oh.
Huh?
Hmm.
Boop.
Huh?
Oh.
Ah.
Oh?
After just one spoonful,
her uncle felt much stronger.
And after spoonful two,
he wasn't orange any longer.
Oh!
After spoonful three,
the king was dancing with delight!
Ooh. Ooh!
Princesses can be doctors!
You were absolutely right.
I'm sorry that I locked you up.
Of course, you must go free.
But do come back to visit me.
And bring your friends to tea.
Oh.
Argh.
Ah.
Ahem!
Hurray!
Cried Pearl.
And out she ran to join the other two.
Uh...
Huh?
Mm...
Aw.
Then off into the sunset...
sped the flying-doctor crew.
Hoo-hoo-hoo!
Hmm. Oh. Oh!
Boop.
