Yonderland (2013) s01e05 Episode Script

Closing the Portal

1 I just don't get it.
It's only an egg.
I'm telling you, it's giant.
And where am I supposed to put it? Nowhere warm.
And whatever you do, don't sit on it.
Where are you going now? Well, someone has to deal with the parents.
Far far ago, the ancients wrote upon the scrolls that dark forces would sweep our realm until only Yonderland remained.
But they told also of a saviour, come from a distant world to save us from the shadows.
Apparently (!) I'm so sorry, Pete.
It's fine.
I know you've been busy withwhatever.
No, it's not fine, cos it keeps happening, and it's not fair on you.
But I'm gonna make it up to you, OK? Mm.
Debbie, you must come quickly! Ssh.
Oh.
(Debbie, you must come quickly.
) Get in the kitchen! All right, all right, OK.
So, this thing with the egg's sorted, that's fine, but there's trouble up north now.
The Snow Men have gathered on the ice plains and we're on the brink of a cold war.
You've got to come with me.
No.
Great, let's get moving.
You will need gloves.
Elf, I said no.
Maybe I didn't get across how cold this war is.
I can't do this anymore.
It has to stop.
Don't you want to help us anymore? This isn't about you.
I have another life here.
Except I don't, do I, because I'm always in there.
Take Sports Day.
I got you to Sports Day! I missed the bean bag relay.
Ionly know half those words.
I just don't feel a part of my own family anymore, and I need to be.
Well, I don't know if you can just stop being the Chosen One.
I mean, you've been chosen.
And there's only one.
We're friends, right? Mm.
Then help me.
Please.
This is the last thing I'll ask of you.
There may be a way.
But OK, but last time.
And I am not dealing with this war.
What war? Oh, that! It'll blow over.
I said no! But they would be perfectly preserved to enjoy at a later date.
For the last time, you are not freezing my family.
Then I can see no solution.
Would it help if we cast off our robes? No! Debbie, your fate is to defeat the dark forces and save our realm.
To turn your back on us would be to ignore your own destiny.
I don't want to leave.
This place is amazing.
Well Pretty good.
And you all know what I think of Negatus.
You said he was a No need to repeat it.
Family show.
It's that I HAVE to leave, because I Er, Wise Ones, perhaps I can explain, if I may.
All right, then.
Leave it with me.
Two minutes.
Right, listen up.
Oh, too far.
And they really said yes? Yes, there is a way, if you're sure.
Oh! Oh,good (!) Now I've chipped a tooth.
It's a world of endless joy.
This is going to be amazing.
We're gonna have a proper date night.
And I can take the kids to that place that's like Alton Towers but crap.
And friends - do you know how long it's been since I went for coffee with a friend? Two minutes.
No.
17 years.
Stop guessing.
All right.
And no more quests.
I am so sick of quests.
What is it with you guys and quests? Well, lucky for you, there is a way to close the portal.
It's a quest, isn't it? Yeah.
Great.
Oh, get in! She's going to close the portal.
Debbie will be gone forever and the boss will give ME all the credit.
It's a win-win situation - like playing yourself at strip poker.
Ooh, such sweet victory! You lot, I want you to do everything in your power to help Debbie succeed in her task.
Absolutely.
You can count on us.
She'll fail, oh blackest of clouds.
Hopes will wither and die like crops in droughts Listen to me! Listen! I want you to HELP her.
Do you understand? Help her.
We understand, oh darkest one.
Totally with you.
She'll crash and burn.
Yes, Debbie will learn the true nature of failure and then Success! Success.
I meant success.
What did I say? Because I meant success? Oh, no.
This is the problem with snailcam - very easily distracted.
It's three tasks, really.
And they must be done quickly, for three moons only align once in a quinellia.
Oh, here we go.
Get a thing, say a spell, put a magic jewel in the statue's eye.
You must travel the length of the very land you wish to leave behind, and gather the three elements - water, earth and fire.
All before the three moons rise.
Only then can the portal be closed forever evereverever.
What are you doing? Just adding drama.
Oh, God.
Urgh! Ow! Ow! OW! Oh, stop moaning! It's a brilliant short-cut.
Yeah, if you're three foot tall.
I nearly lost an eye! You could always crawl.
And you could always find the path.
Paths are for trolls.
Besides, we're nearly there now.
Nearly where, exactly? Our first stop.
The Sacred Spring of Gesundheit.
The water that rises there is said to stem from the very centre of our world.
Does it cure toothache? No.
Happy days (!) Come on.
Welcome.
Welcome to the Sacred Spa of Gesundheit.
Bless you.
We are the .
.
guardians of the waters.
I'm Debbie.
Hi.
This place is beautiful.
Thank .

ie.
Do you require a treatment, question mark? No, actually, I'm a bit pushed for time.
Something about three moons in a willennium.
I just need some of your sacred water, if you can spare it.
Ah, that puts us in a rather difficult posi tion.
You see, the sacred waters of Gesundheit Bless you.

Such subtle elixir cannot be herded into some bottle like a common cordial or urine sample.
It is to be savoured, absorbed, enjoy .

Massaged into tired muscles, maybe.
Or gently irrigated through .

a grubby colon.
After which, a small vial of our cool water is yours.
To take away.
Complimentary.
.
.
tary.
We do need the water.
Go on, have a massage.
No! I'm wearing really big knickers.
Well, I'm sure they've seen worse.
Come on, you've earned it.
Boys, she'll have the works.
Yeah, butm-maybe skip the colon thing though, OK? Wow, they ARE big.
Ta-da! Wow! And if it's not inappropriate, hubba-hubba! It's inappropriate.
All right.
Tawit-tawoo! We hope that you feel .
.
rested and rejuvenate .
.
ed.
I want to talk about saying more.
No.
Why? Please, Debbie, take the water.
Guard it well.
Oh, I will.
And thank you so much.
Do you require .
.
another appoint No, I'm afraid I won't be coming back.
Because of the hose? Was the pressure too No, no, that was fine.
It's just, um, I'm gonna have to leave this world.
For good.
Oh.
Then we wish you the best, Debbie.
May your life ever be filled with health, .
.
hope, and I'm telling Mother.
Do you what you want, mate, you normally do.
Why are you like this? Because.
Nice place, eh? Can't find a spa like that just anywhere.
I know what you're doing.
What? It was lovely, but it doesn't change anything.
Never said it did.
Oh, come on.
Where are you taking me next? Comfy Pillow Hollow (?) Relaxington-by-sea (?) Um Ya-ha-ha! Not exactly.
Ennythingos.
Home of the sacred fire, and our equivalent of the clap, so just don't.
Hey! Mwah! Thank you.
Is it always like this? No, must be off-season.
But you still have to be careful - it can be pretty intoxicating.
There's this weird steam that makes you Hot sausage! Look who it is! I don't believe it! Clovis! La-la-la-la-la-la! Wow! What happened to your eye? I know! It grew back.
Fingers crossed for the other one.
Magic times! So what brings you here? Stag do is what it is.
Oh, did someone mention the stag? Hey! Oh, hello.
I thought you were already married.
Yeah, well, it erturns out that she was a poacher.
I don't want to talk about this, actually, if that's all right.
So let's get a drink! What are we waiting for? Yo-yo.

We don't care.
We love it.
Do we love it? Ba-boom! You see? That's the joy of Ennythingos.

So, how do I get the fire? Just do it! I'll get your fire for you! Sure! Oh, thanks.

Oh.
This being nice is very confusing.
Come on.
She did it! She got the fire! I did it.
I got the fire! Only one more to go now.
I don't even know how I did that! I I know.
Let's go clubbing.
What? And then get chips.
And watch Dirty Dancing.
Ah, that is tremendous.
I can't seem to feel a thing.
Somebody hold me.
Ow! Ow! Ow! No, still need root canal.
God knows where my roots are.
Why's my brain got a heart beat? Look.
The Kingdom of the Parvuli, keepers of the earth.
It is said they protected the graceland since the very birth of our world.
Come on.
Are you sure? Hello.
Can it really be? Debbie! Debbie! Debbie! Debbie! Debbie! Tales of your kindness and bravery have touched our tiny hearts.
Look, she doesn't work solo.
So what brings you to our humble kingdom, oh Debbie of the glossy hair and pretty dress? I kind of need a favour, actually.
I need some of your sacred earth.
I meant to say please.
Why do you want the earth, oh Debbie of excellent skin and nice legs? I need it for a ritual to close the portal between my world and yours.
Because, you see, I can't be the Chosen One anymore.
I'm sorry.
We are sorry, too.
We didn't mean to make your life difficult.
What does it matter if everything goes all horrible again and Negatus takes our home? We'll get by.
Truffle! Clinky! Fetch Debbie the earth she needs.
Oh, I feel really Debbie, would it be all right if I sang you a thank-you song? Oh, God, here they go.
Oh, you don't need to do that, honestly.
Oh, Debbie, you came into our world And made our lives complete Oh, Debbie, you made us feel so snug Just like a fitted sheet Oh, Debbie, you came to help us And now that help must end You may not be our saviour But you'll always be our friend Thank you, Debbie For everything you've done Thank you, Debbie You're still our Chosen One Thank you, Debbie For everything you've done Thank you, Debbie You're still our Chosen One Feel not guilty, Debbie As you may have done enough For though you never found your fate You showed us Love Oh.
Oh, God, I hate them all.
Mm.
Debbie, we have to do the ritual.
It's now or never.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Bye.
Bye.
She's all right, isn't she? I would, mate.
I would.
Mm.
Well, here we are.
Yep, here we are.
Once we do this, it cannot be undone.
Look into your heart, Debbie.
Are you sure? Yeah, I'm sure.
Let's close the portal.
The fire first.
And now the water from Gesundheit.
Bless you.
And the earth from the Parvuli.
It's beautiful.
Now, to close the portal forever, you must cast Nick into the flames.
He must be destroyed.
Nick? You never said that Now look here.
I'm an old stick with a gammy tooth.
It'll be a blessed relief.
Come along.
Finish it.
Nick, I'll never forget the sacrifice that Yes, yes, yes.
Get on with it, will you? Andjob done.
We should report in.
Come on.
I wanted to see the portal.
Oh, grow up! Seen one portal, you've seen 'em all.
Come on.
Well? What are you waiting for? Oh, look, she's having a flashback.
Well? I can't do it.
I mean, how am I supposed to leave this? I can't complain that I've never been to Paris and then throw away the magical world in my cupboard.
But what about Bob and the kids? It's Peter.
They're my family.
I'll find time.
I breast-fed twins, I can make THIS work.
I'll just make THIS my "me" time.
I mean, who needs an overpriced coffee when you've got a tribe of teddy bears that'll sing you a song called "We Love Debbie"? I believe it was "Thank you, Debbie.
" But I take your point.
So does this mean you're staying? Yeah.
Well, I'm the Chosen One.
Haven't you heard? See? Told 'em she'd never go through with it.
Bit of a close shave.
Gonna tell her you made it all up? Hm, probably not today.
Your tooth feeling better? Oh, you know, it's er Oh.
Oh, good.
Argh!
