[intense music playing]
[Jack, June, Quint, Dirk panting]
[breathlessly] This is bad!
This is bad! This is bad! This is bad!
[crunching]
This is insane!
The bad kind of insane!
[Rezzoch]
When I enter, I must feed.
[all panting]
[Alfred]
Ah, too hard.
-Get up! No zombie left behind!
-[snaps]
Ah!
[grunts, panting]
[Alfred moaning]
[panting]
Jack!
Are you OK?
Jack? Jack?
[echoing] Jack?
[theme music playing]
[roars]
Whoa!
[all scream]
[all panting, gasping]
[breathlessly]
I'm going to be so mad
when I catch my breath!
-I don't see Thrull.
-[Alfred moans]
Don't see anything.
[breathlessly]
I can't believe this!
Was Thrull actually
sacrificing zombies to a tree?
-To summon a monster? With a tree?
-[moans]
To bring Rezzoch into our world!
Through a tree!
I don't know why, but I'm really
stuck on the whole tree thing.
Is Thrull gonna make me hate trees?
That dude is evil on a platter
with toast.
I thought Thrull was one of the good guys.
I mean, we were helping him!
We filled that bestiary for him!
He was sitting at the cool table!
Hey, are you OK?
No.
He used me.
Jack, I know.
I'm so sorry.
[sighs] I'm angry, and
and sad,
and empty.
I've been abandoned
again.
I hear ya.
Now, just do what I do.
For each emotion,
you just need to
find somethin' to punch!
-Sympathy! Ah!
-[crunches]
[sighs]
I I can't
I can't trust anyone.
You can trust us.
-Uh
-Uh, give him a minute.
Or 19.
I can't stand seeing him this way!
I can't! I-I can't!
I'm so furious with Thrull right now!
All Jack ever did was help him!
And then Thrull turns around
and does this to him?
Ah! [panting]
Why did he punch the same place?
[Dirk]
Hey, he's angry,
but he still has tender hands.
This is unacceptable.
Nobody I don't care
how big and monstrous
and deadly they are
nobody does this to my friend!
I'm gonna kick his hairy monster butt!
-Hold on there, Cranky Hank.
-Ugh!
Hey! Give that back!
Guys, we can't just get upset.
We have to stop this.
But how?
We get the other monsters
and we surround Thrull
and we all pile on,
and we go! We go! Go!
We go! We go! Go!
We don't know which monsters
might be part of this.
We can't risk it.
Well, we can't fight Thrull on our own,
so
-what do we do?
-Go! Go! We go!
Go! Go!
[Thrull growls]
Yah!
[Thrull laughs]
[laughing]
Ahh!
We need Jack.
Well, we don't have Jack right now.
There's gotta be a way to stop Thrull
from bringing Rezzoch over.
Thrull said the bestiary is the key,
right?
Then
[lock clicks]
we have to destroy the bestiary.
[shuffles]
Ahh!
Ugh! Is this what you want, Thrull?
Huh?
Well, good luck using it now!
You like mindless destruction, Thrull?
I'll show you mindless destruction!
Ugh! Ah. [panting]
It's tougher than it looks.
OK, Quint, step aside.
Let the big boy handle it.
Yah!
[grunting, straining]
-[whacks]
-[thunks]
[electricity crackling]
[sighs]
We're gonna need more firepower.
On it!
[electronic music playing]
Ah! Ugh!
[boiling]
-Ah!
-[vibrates]
[grunts]
Huh?
[engine revs]
[cracks]
Ugh!
Ahh!
[all grunting with effort]
[all gasping, panting]
[clatters]
[sizzles]
[thunks]
Curse you, Thrull!
[echoing]
If we can't destroy the book,
Thrull's gonna use it
to bring Rezzoch through that tree!
Then we find a way to destroy the tree!
Oh, man, he did it!
Thrull made me hate trees.
[Quint]
Hmm. OK.
We could pull it up by its roots.
Um, don't water it.
Insult it.
-Huh!
-Belittle it with harsh language.
-Huh! Hey, can you please
-[barking]
stop throwing the ball over my garden?
He's destroying my parsnips!
More like your weeds
-pretending to be food.
-Huh?
[yips, panting]
Weeds!
Weeds are just unwanted plants.
That tree thing is just a big weed!
Oh! OK,
-where is it, where is it, where is it?
-[clunking]
-[dings]
-Weed killer!
Ha! Let's get him!
Wait! We might need a touch more.
Like an industrial size metric mass load!
That we don't have.
The mall! [chuckles] En Garden!
They have very reasonably priced
gardening supplies.
[barks]
[panting]
[thunks]
[grumbles]
But, if we go to the mall,
we'll have to deal with Wormungulous.
Oh, right.
Then we just have to find a way
around big, long, and wormy.
Bait.
Hey, buddy! You're back!
Are you OK?
No!
[crunches]
We set bait for a zombie,
we can set bait for Wormungulous.
Good idea!
Lure the worm away
so we can slip into En Garden
and get the weed killer!
What's bait for a worm?
The worm usually is the bait!
Same thing it went after last time.
Us.
-Not it!
-Quint!
We're not gonna use one of us
as worm bait.
[Jack]
I'll do it.
Jack?
These things, these monsters,
I thought the stench was what separated
the evil ones from the good ones,
but they're all evil.
Every one of them.
You gonna talk like that
the whole time, or
[Jack] Rezzoch, Blarg,
they all want to destroy us.
So, if I go to the mall
and get in Quint's cage,
that evil, stinking evil worm
is gonna come for me.
And I'll be ready for it.
OK, you're creeping me out a bit, friend.
Actually, more like two or three bits.
Jack, no!
The whole point is for us
to work as a team.
Anybody got a better idea?
[Dirk, June, Quint]
No.
Then, we don't have a choice.
[clangs]
[tires squeal]
[engine revs]
[tires squeal]
[thunks]
[Jack]
OK, so, I get in the cage,
you guys hide a safe distance away.
The Wormungulous will smell me
or sense me or
whatever giant worm monsters do,
and come for me.
Uh, the fact that
I haven't showered in a week should help.
You with me so far?
Yes, we're with you!
[sniffs]
And, yes, you do need to shower.
As soon as he comes for me,
you get your butts into En Garden
and load up Big Mama with weed killer.
What if the Wormungulous
simply swallows the cage whole?
Thanks for putting that image in my head.
All right, get goin'.
[cage door clangs shut]
[footsteps echoing]
Jack.
We'll see you soon, all right?
[footsteps echoing]
Are we crazy to let him do this?
Undoubtedly.
OK. As long as we're on the same page.
He'll be OK. He'll be OK.
[distant noises]
[distant scraping]
[rattles cage]
[shrieks]
[Jack]
A thousand thoughts go through my head.
[echoes of battle]
Fear, bravery,
trust,
betrayal.
But, in the end,
this is my fault.
[Thrull grunts]
[Jack] I caused this by trusting Thrull.
Ugh!
-Ugh! Ah.
-[beating]
I'll take that.
[squeezes, pops]
That's really messed up!
[splats]
Never again!
I will never trust a monster again!
[shouts]
Where are you?
-Yah!
-[metal clangs]
-Huh! Yah!
-[clanging]
Yah!
[clanging echoes]
[metal scraping]
-[gasps]
-[rumbling]
[crumbling]
[rumbling, rattling]
All right, let's go!
[crashing, rumbling]
-What? No! Where'd you go?
-[clanging]
[shouting]
Over here! Over here!
Ah, crud!
[door clunks, squeaks]
Hey! Worm butt!
Soup's on! I taste amazing!
[licks] Ugh!
I really need to shower more.
Mmm! Wow!
A worm would be a fool
not to chow down on this guy!
[shouts]
A fool!
[rumbling]
[worm shrieks]
[gasps] Lesson learned!
Never call a worm a fool!
[panting] Ahh!
[shrieks]
Ahh! Ugh!
Ah! Ugh!
Uh-ugh!
[shrieks]
Ah!
Yah!
Ugh! Ah!
[grunting]
[thundering]
Ugh.
[shrieking]
It's gonna crush me.
And I hate being crushed!
It's my least favorite
squishing sensation!
[Dirk] Oh, come on!
These weren't here last time!
Less yackin', more weed whackin'!
[chuckles]
Oh, yeah!
-Huh! Yah!
-[slicing]
-Yah! Ugh! Yah!
-[squelching]
-We don't have time for this
-[sawing]
you stupid plant!
Stupid plants
that remind me of stupid Thrull!
And how he hurts my stupid friend!
[slices]
[grunting with effort]
-[squelching]
-Oh, you want some,
you overgrown inter-dimensional
poison ivy wannabe?
-You wanna get tight?
-[Dirk grunts]
Let's get tight!
[grunts]
Let me at him! Let me at him!
Yeah, you do not want
to mess with this dude today.
I'll cut you, man!
I'll prune you into next week!
[grumbling]
Yah! Unh! Unh!
There it is! And it's on sale!
Arm yourselves.
[electronic music playing]
Hoo-ah!
[sizzles]
[squelching]
Ah! [blows]
Weeds be gone, and stay gone!
[laughter]
[metal crunching]
So, this is how it ends!
Not with a bang!
With a big bad squishing sound!
[worm gasps]
[whimpers]
[whimpering]
[slithering]
What? Why would it let go?
[whimpering]
[echoes of battle]
Oh, man.
[groans]
[Jack] Wounded creature.
No stench of evil like Blarg.
Plucked out of its home
and dropped here.
Probably scared and alone.
And the first human he meets
cuts him like a punk.
Or is this just another fake-out?
[moans]
Can I trust it? I swore I'd never
[crying]
OK, big guy.
I'm taking a big risk here
that you won't instantly devour me.
[door clunks, squeaks]
[groaning]
OK, please don't eat me.
Please don't eat me!
[shrieks]
OK, buddy, take it easy.
I'm trusting you not to annihilate me.
I won't hurt you Again.
I know it's confusing.
[whimpers]
[groans]
[whimpering]
[sighs]
Monsters, humans
I guess we all lash out
when we've been hurt.
[engine revs]
[shrieks]
Wait! Wait! You're scaring him!
[strains] Jack! What are you doing?
Get away from the monster!
No! It's OK.
-I want to help it!
-[worm moans]
He wants to help it.
This is not how I thought this day
was gonna turn out.
[cries]
That is one nasty looking cut.
Anyone know how to sew?
Uh, I do.
But, we're gonna need a big needle.
-Hey!
-Don't be a baby!
[electronic music playing]
You see, I realized something
when I was in that cage
looking out at this wounded creature.
I'm the worm!
Ah, I can see that.
No! See, I'm wounded like the worm.
Emotionally.
Like he has the physical scar
and I-I have an emotional scar.
-We get it, Jack.
-Mwah!
No, see, we're all one.
Not monsters over here
and people over there.
I am the worm!
[all]
We get it, Jack!
[groans]
You'll be better now. That'll heal.
I'm sorry I cut you, worm dude.
[groaning]
Bye, worm buddy! Stay safe!
[groaning]
-[tires squeal]
-[engine revs]
[whimpers]
[engine approaches]
-Hey, Alfred.
-[groans]
[gasps]
Hello, Jack.
Oh! Uh, hey, Thrull!
Your leg's grown back!
Cool, cool, fun, fun.
So, uh, you just
let yourself right in, huh?
I didn't even realize
you knew where I lived.
I know many things.
Have you finished the bestiary?
Oh, pfff, that old thing?
We sorta lost interest in that.
Yeah, it kinda felt like homework.
We've been super into, uh,
video games.
Do you play? You should play.
I'll teach you!
As long as you have opposable thumbs,
we can
-[smashes]
-[growls] Where is the key?
Uh, key? Uh, what key?
The bestiary!
I know you were at the tree of entry.
Rezzoch the Ancient saw you!
She sees all.
Yeah, of course she does.
Look, Thrull, I I'm sorry,
but the book is gone.
I forgot to tell you, we destroyed it.
[Thrull laughs]
No human can destroy
an enchanted bestiary.
Lie to me again, boy,
and you'll see my wrath.
You're gonna destroy my action figures?
No! You! You are the toy!
Actually I'm the worm.
See, back at the mall
[Thrull snarls]
[June]
Jack, let's go!
Call your friends up here!
-No! Uck! Blah!
-[snarls]
Now I know why you wore so much cologne!
You stink bad.
Like Blarg and the Wretches!
[gasps] Like evil!
Call them!
Fine!
The eagle naps at noon!
Ha ha! Checkmate!
That's our secret code.
And by now,
my friends have taken the bestiary
and are long gone, so
[June]
Jack! What the heck are you talking about?
[chuckles]
Run! Thrull is here! Run!
[barking]
Fool! [snarls]
-Ahh!
-[snarls]
-[Alfred moans]
-[Jack screams]
-Ahh! Ugh!
-[moans]
[Jack groans]
-[spits]
-[moans]
Ah, thanks for breaking my fall.
-[thumps]
-[roars]
Ah! [grunts]
[Dirk] Hey! Step away from the dork!
Oh, come on, guys. I told you to run.
We're not going anywhere!
-You are fools!
-Ugh!
You do not understand the power I wield!
I understand you're a big jerk!
Ahh!
[grunting with effort]
[growls]
-[squeezing]
-Ahh!
Quint!
-[snarls]
-[grunts]
Tell me where the bestiary is, Jack,
or your friend dies.
[groaning]
Now!
The lock-box in the tree-house!
-No!
-[laughs]
-You!
-[gasps]
Go! Bring it to me!
[sighs]
[Quint grunting]
[laughs]
You're never gonna get away with this!
Oh? And why is that?
I don't know!
It's just something heroes say.
[scoffs]
You are no hero, boy.
[growls]
[Quint groaning]
I hope you choke on it.
I had hoped you would make progress
while my leg regrew,
but I never thought
you'd complete the book.
Impressive.
Into the cage, all of you!
Now!
[all gasp]
[creaks, slams]
[metal screeches]
Now put Quint down!
I think not.
Ah!
Your fondness for the weakling
may prove useful, yet.
Hey! Who you calling a weakling?
How can you do this?
I thought we were friends.
I saved your life!
Ah, yes, I thank you for that.
And Rezzoch thanks you, as well.
You are a great ally to our cause.
You tricked me.
And you're gonna feed
your friends to Rezzoch!
[clunks]
Without hesitation!
-[growls]
-Ahh!
-[grunts]
-Go!
[engine starts]
[engine fades]
[growls] Ugh,
Thrull has Quint and the bestiary!
Now Rezzoch will come
and destroy the world!
Not to add to the list,
but I'm really claustrophobic!
-Well, at least it can't get any worse.
-Mm.
Oh, I probably shouldn't have said that.
[crash]
[rustling]
It's Alfred!
He's come back to save us!
Uh, that's not Alfred.
[footsteps]
[electronic music playing]
