Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake (2023) s01e09 Episode Script

1
Where
Hey, girl.
Ellis P?
Look at me.
I'm even more beautiful now.
Chase me, Stanley.
Wait.
Where's Cake?
Fionna!
Cake!
It worked.
Simon did it.
Let's go to our house.
Yeah.
We can throw a party.
Yah!
I feel snacky.
People eat cake at parties, right?
Let's get one
from BB's.
Ooh.
Gary?
Are you here?
We're throwing a party.
Gary?
Fionna.
You're back.
Try my new pastry.
Huh?
It's you!
Marshall?
Our building.
No, no.
Don't do it, Stanley.
My spaghetti!
Wait!
I'm too pretty to get eat!
Aah!
Okay,
we're safe now.
I'll put in
a video game.
You go make us margaritas
I've always wanted
to try one of those.
Are you happy, Fionna?
All this for you.
Fionna.
Fionna, wake up.
You alright?
It's
It's normal.
Yeah, I know.
I had the worst dream.
When Simon
put on the crown,
it all went wrong.
Gary became a scary gum blob,
and Marshall Lee was
a hideous monster
that burst into flames.
Hideous monster
that burst into flames.
Yeah.
Did you see
Simon in the freezer?
Simon in the freezer!
What if it was an omen?
It was just a nightmare.
I can't wait for this dump
to change.
Look at that.
It even has lip sync.
Can I help you?
We didn't know this rink
had a mascot.
Ooh.
My butt is an icicle.
Whoa.
Hey,
get off the ice.
No skates, no entry.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going.
Whoa-oa.
Pbht!
This place is gonna
be magic soon,
I can feel it.
There.
That squirrel is reading.
Magic.
False alarm.
Marshall and Gary?
Fionna.
Cool threads.
You been thrifting?
What-- What--
What is this?
Fionna,
where have you been?
You just disappeared.
Okay, this is gonna
blow your mind,
but our whole world is inside
this guy Simon's head,
and everything we know
is about to turn crazy magical.
Any second now.
Simon,
what's the hold up?
The crown.
Where am I?
Scared of the darkness
that lay before your eyes
You.
Hey! Lich!
What did you do
to my spell, huh?
Great embodiment
of chaos,
hear me.
For ages untold
I studied your ways,
devoting my existence
to you.
I strove to be your vassal
on the physical plane,
to build mountains of bodies
in your honor,
to extinguish all life,
and in my universe,
this I achieved.
But it gave me
no satisfaction.
In succeeding,
I lost all purpose.
I know what you mean.
Why?
Why must this be?
Hear me, Golb.
GOLB?
Betty,
are you in there?
Even a little?
I finally get to you
when I'm not even trying.
I've-- I've wanted to see you
again for so long.
No, no, no.
Answer me.
What more
could I have done?
What do you want
from me now?
What?
Betty,
I really tried to fix you.
I searched for years
for a way to undo this
but I failed.
Living among the humans
in Ooo,
I felt completely
out of place and time.
My life had been drained
of all meaning.
You gave me
a second chance,
and I've wasted it.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Betty.
When I first did
the ritual,
I just wanted to come here
and tell you that
but then
something else happened.
I met two people who really
needed my help, Fionna and Cake.
You would have liked them.
They'll use a second chance
better than I ever did.
You of all people should
understand why I must do this.
I finally have
a purpose now.
Pup Guard: By the order
of Gibbon, find them!
This way.
Halt!
Ugh!
Shoot.
Hey, Beth,
launch me.
Ye-e-e-e-ah!
Oof!
Come on, Beth.
On it.
Yeah.
Keep it coming.
Look out!
- Vandals!
- You wont get away with this!
Gibbon doesn't forgive!
Huh?
Ugh!
Yeah,
that was great.
Good technique on those
little stink lines, Shermy.
Step four
of the revolution
check.
Ha! Nyah! Nyah!
Take that, Gibbon!
And that!
Oh! You got me!
Tell my kids
I resent them.
Quit wiggling around,
you nugget,
or you're walkin'.
If I'm going to
the library,
you're going to have
to carry me.
I finally have
a purpose now.
You just got real
weird there.
Shermy?
Wha?! Aah!
Your legs aren't broken.
You can walk.
What just happened?
I'm in another weird version
of Ooo.
Bread balls!
Language.
Betty, why did you
send me here?
And in this body?
Why, why, why?
Shermy
are you going through
puberty?
This is going
to sound farfetched,
but I'm not Shermy.
My name is
Simon Petrikov.
I'm from another world
far different than your own.
Okay, "Simon."
You're not getting out
of going to the library
by acting weird.
Library?
That's great, actually.
I could really use
a library right now.
Are you making fun
of me?
No, no, no.
I love the library.
Okay.
I like this new you.
Fionna and Cake are still
waiting for their magic world.
I'll find myself another crown.
You can zap me to whatever
alternate universe you want,
but I have free will.
Do you hear me, Betty?
Do you
Hear me, Betty?
Do you hear me, Betty?
I keep stepping on my tail.
Ugh, this will take
some getting used to.
Stay out of this.
Ooh, sparkly.
What's the matter,
Simon?
Spell malfunction?
I'm a professional,
and professionals
don't hold grudges.
Aah!
So you're not a robot?
You're a magic cat?
Yes,
I always was.
I'm just back
to my original form.
And pretty soon,
you will be, too.
But if everything's
gonna change,
will we still be together?
Uh maybe?
In the world
we all came from,
Gary was a candy prince,
and you were a cool vampire.
- Sick.
- Vampire?
Well, we did see a world
where versions of y'all
tried to kill each other,
so there's that option.
Fionna and I got into
a big fight in that place.
Hey, hey,
don't worry.
We smoothed it over.
Honestly, I don't know if
you'll even remember each other.
Or if anyone will remember
this version of our world.
But I don't want to forget anything.
Marshall and I
just met.
Yeah.
Oh, I told you it shouldn't
be up to us to decide.
Pbht!
Maybe
we can make requests.
That Simon guy's thoughts
affect our world, right?
Yeah, like, if Simon knows
Marshall and I
are supposed to be together,
it could work out?
And I'd still date you
if you were a vampire.
It's worth a shot.
Simon can do anything.
Just gotta find
a portal.
B.R.B.
Blue sparkles.
There.
Portal.
Can you hear me,
Simon?
Big damn bugs.
The Scarab.
Just leave us alone.
So is this part
of the fun magic?
Whoa!
Two scoops in five cones?
I'll see what I can do.
Aah!
Danger.
Oh, no.
Simon,
what's going on?
Have there been any significant
ice events in this world?
Not recently.
Who has the magic crown
now?
What crown?
It's gold and pointy,
set with red gems--
Shh.
We have to be quiet now.
Where's the books?
Shh.
Uh
What are you
waiting for?
Whoa.
Come on. One of these has to be
about ice magic or the crown.
Psst.
Just throw some down.
Preferably something about
high technology,
transcendental meditation,
or trashy romance.
Yes.
Uh, Simon,
we should go.
Just a minute.
Don't you hear it?
Euripides.
Sherm-- Simon.
Aah!
Pagelings.
Return your books.
Aah.
I need that book.
- Show us your card.
- Show us your card.
- Return your books!
- Return your books!
This is not working out.
Ugh,
that's so annoying.
Ugh, keep them apart.
Gimme that.
Aah!
Hunter.
I love all plants
and animals,
but not these things.
Got it.
Ugh. Ugh.
Hey, Scarabs.
- Huh?
- Huh?
I got your dumb crystal.
Come and get it.
I can feel their
little, tiny feet.
Ugh.
I shoulda kept up
the medicine-ball routines.
Come on, Prismo.
He-hey!
Who needs a gym?
Gotta help Fionna and Ca-a-a-ke.
I need a bath.
So if this Scarab reforms,
he's going to destroy
our entire reality?
Mm-hmm.
And we can't kill him
because he's immortal?
A Godlike being outdone
by a humble cheese-ball barrel.
So, do we just
keep them in jars,
like forever?
Will they still try to kill us
when the world resets?
I don't know.
I don't even know
what's going on with Simon
or why the Scarab
got in.
Mm, Simon must still
be alive,
or else we'd be blinked
out of existence.
Hmph.
What'd you bugs do to Simon?
Abominations!
Ugh!
Just call him.
Huh?
I gave him my phone.
You know, to play "Worm"
when he was all alone.
That's my phone.
Can I borrow this?
Oh, wait,
the pass code is--
Shh. I know.
Huh?
It's ringing.
Beth, Beth.
Beth, where's the book?
I wanna see
The book!
I need to see the book.
We're almost
to the ol' reading spot.
Which one's got you
so worked up?
Ah.
"Ancient Artifacts"
written by
I can't read
the author's name.
What luck-- this world's
Simon Petrikov
wrote a history
of the crown, too.
The invisible forces
of the universe
must have wanted
me to find this.
That's not how you
I know how to read.
I have degrees.
Ugh!
Chill.
Why do you want to read
this one so badly?
The fate of my friends depends
on me finding a magic crown,
and that is the best chance
I have of locating it.
They're waiting.
They're waiting for
their magical
Oh.
Okay, Simon.
Let's save your friends, then.
Ah.
"Ready for adventure?"
This looks like one of those
choose-your-own-choice deals.
Oh, like the ancient game books
of my world.
"Fire once for yes.
Fire twice for no."
"This is the story
about two best friends
Casper and Nova.
They are both
great explorers.
We meet them
on their great quest
to document and preserve
important talismans.
They journey through
the Gobblebad Caverns
and lodge near a sunken city
in the seaside town of Scandia.
There they hear a rumor
about a magic crown."
The crown.
"A crown guarded by
a deadly fire tiger
who lives atop
the volcanic mountain of Yag."
"Yog?" "Yag."
"Casper wants to go for it.
Nova is really excited
to search for artifacts
in the nearby
ancient sea ruins,
but she would be cool with
going with Casper's plan, too.
Which thing
should they explore?
Fire once
for Casper's quest.
Fire twice
for Nova's."
We have to go
for the crown.
I don't know. The sea ruins
could be fun, too.
Finding the crown is a literal
matter of life and death
for a whole world
of living souls!
I'm digging the commitment
to this bit.
Casper, then.
"Casper is bitten, and the crown
has already been stolen
by moon demons."
Dang it.
Maybe we can go back
and try the sea-ruins route.
Good idea.
"Casper is bitten, and the crown
has already been stolen."
No do-overs with this book,
I guess.
Where are the games
on this thing?
Hmm.
Eh, I'm watching TV.
You wanna go where
everybody knows your name ♪
Leave a message. Blehh.
Ugh, either the phone
isn't working
or Simon is too hurt
to answer.
What would the barflies from
"Cheers' do in this situation?
"Cheers" is filmed
before a live studio audience.
Somebody left
the door open.
Hey, I'm walkin here.
I'm gonna go back
through the portal.
The blue sparkles again?
Hey, I saw a glowing opening
with blue sparkles,
out there in the park.
I'll take you there.
Let's go, Cake.
We'll look, too.
Really?
We can cover more ground if
we look for portals everywhere.
I could even call my mom,
if we have to.
Oh, my gob!
What are you doing
to these
beautiful creatures?!
Be free, my babies!
Be free!
Freedom! Ah-ha-ha-ha!
I saved you!
Does everybody know
where they're headed?
