Amphibia (2019) s03e01 Episode Script

The New Normal

1
[frogs croaking]
[horns honking]
[gasps] What the?
Ah! What is that thing?
What is that thing?
I don't believe it.
-I'm home?
-[honking continues]
This is your world, Anne?
-It's so loud.
-That's because we're on the freeway.
Let's move!
[all panting]
[all] Whoa!
Whoa! [grunts]
Am I dreaming?
There's only one way to be sure.
[beeps]
I'm home! [echoing]
Lights. Lights.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh. What is this thing?
What are these? [gasps]
Buttons! Buttons everywhere!
[buzzing]
[gasps] Yeah!
Help! This dungeon smells awful!
Careful, boy. There's no tellin'
what dangers lurk in this world.
So, what's our next move, Anne?
I mean, so much has happened.
Do you think Marcy's--
She's alive, Hop Pop. She's just gotta be.
And with her and Sasha
still stuck over there,
one thing's for sure:
We gotta find a way back.
-Yeah!
-All right.
Sounds like a plan.
But before we do any of that,
first things first.
[grunts]
-Anne, is this?
-My house.
This is really happening.
I'm gonna see my parents.
So, it's too early to call them
Mom and Dad, right?
Should I call them Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy?
Are they tongue-face people?
Okay. You three should probably
hide in here for the time being.
I want to ease them into all this slowly.
And when the time is right,
I'll signal, "Caw caw!"
Do not come out till you hear that.
[grunts]
Oh! And I'm not going to tell them
I plan to go back and stop Andrias.
Or that Andrias betrayed us.
Or that Marcy did or that Sasha did.
And not a word about
my weird glowing blue powers.
Wow. There's a lot going on.
-Blue powers?
-It was a thing.
You can count on us, Anne.
Don't worry, Frobs.
We'll fix you up in no time.
Anne's world is full of
advanced technology.
[electricity crackles]
[sighs]
Okay. Here we go.
[knocking]
-[knocking]
-[mother] I'm coming. I'm coming.
Hi, Mom.
[gasps]
[giggles]
What was that noise? Everything okay?
-Dad!
-Anne?
Anne, you're back! You're safe.
-[cat meows]
-[gasps] Domino!
Come here, my precious baby!
[meows]
Where have you been? Are you okay?
Are you hurt? Have you eaten?
Your hair's a mess.
It's a really, really long story.
[bird caws]
[rumbling]
And we're the Plantars!
The lovable frog family
Anne's told you all about.
Hop Pop, that was not the signal!
Well, it sure sounded like the signal.
Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Anne's parents.
The name's Sprig Plantar,
Anne's best friend,
and walking, talking frog.
[buzzing]
-Okay. Where was I?
-The third temple?
Right. So, as soon
as we charged the last stone,
the music box opened the portal
that took me back to Earth.
Before anything else could happen.
[laughing]
But the Plantars got sucked
into the portal too.
And now they're stuck here
till we find a way to get them home.
So, yeah, you're pretty much caught up.
Hold on. Back up.
You're telling us there's a whole world
of talking frogs
called "Amphibaland"?
[Sprig] It's actually called
"The Amphibia."
You made larb with maggots? Was it good?
This is a lot to take in.
I wish we could've been eased into it.
[chuckling]
Anyway. Can the Plantars stay with us
until we find them a way home?
[laughs] Wait. You serious?
Oh, Mom! Dad, say something.
Anne, all of this is crazy.
I wouldn't believe a word of it
if the small frog
wasn't kicking me right now.
New legs. You know how it is.
The adventure is over, Anne.
You're home now.
The authorities will take care
of your friends.
[gasps] What, the police? The government?
As soon as they see talking frogs,
they'll be probed and dissected
in a secret lab
and used for all kinds
of weird experiments!
-What's that now?
-Can you elaborate on the probing part?
Anne, don't let 'em take us!
Don't let 'em take us!
Don't worry, guys. I'll keep you safe.
I was living in a cave when you found me.
The least I can do is return the favor.
[sighs]
Okay. They can stay… for now.
Oh! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
All right. If we're doing this,
we gotta be extra careful.
No one out there can know you exist.
You're all on lockdown!
You heard the man. You're all on lockdown.
Got it? What?
Come on, guys. Let's have some
Earth-style quarantine fun!
All right!

-Looking for this?
-[screams]
[Anne shouts] Mom!
It is safer to go in pairs.
Emergency family meeting!
Major boundary violation!
Family? Should we come too?
Also, do you have any more
of these candy bars?
Mom, Dad, I'm really happy to be home.
I know it's a big deal
I was gone for so long,
and I get that it's scary
to think about losing me again,
but I need a little bit of space
or I'm gonna lose my mind.
You guys are being way too overprotective.
Anne, I think you're exaggerating.
This is a big house.
We all have plenty of space to breathe.
Oops! Sorry!
Just practicing my jump kick. Hyah!
Whoops! [grunts]
Okay. I'm listening.
We're tired of being shut up inside.
Let me and the Plantars out.
Just for an hour.
I'll take care of them,
and we won't go far.
Absolutely not.
Oh, come on!
I can't go out alone for an hour?
Last time you went out alone,
you got trapped in another world
for five months!
-That is a pretty good point.
-Shush!
Look. Your father and I have to go
to the market. We'll talk later.
That's perfect! Let us come.
I know what you're gonna say.
We can't take the Plantars out in public.
But the market's always empty
except for a few old people.
Plus, I'll make them disguises
and take full responsibility
for their safety.
You think you can take care
of the whole family?
No offense, Anne, but you're the literal
poster child for hating responsibility.
Just look at what you drew as a kid.
Okay, yes. But I've changed.
Look, I'm a parent too.
And I know what Anne used to be like.
So, trust me, I get it.
[Anne] Not helping.
But she grew into a town protector.
A hero. Voted "Frog of the Year"
by frogs that used to hate her!
Were there bumps in the road? Sure.
Did she burn the town down once? Yeah.
Did she almost get us eaten
by a large creature numerous times?
Also yes.
Did she, uh…
what was I sayin'?
The old one's got a point.
Ever since she got back,
she has seemed a little more mature.
She used to beg me not to take her
to the market.
[clears throat]
-[father] Okay, Anne.
-Huh?
We're willing to give it a try.
[all gasp]
But you stay with us at all times.
And if anything goes wrong,
it's back to lockdown.
Thank you so much!
I promise you won't regret it.
[all] All right!
Okay. This is gonna be a cinch.
Earth is a cakewalk compared to Amphibia.
Wow! Really?
Yeah, dude.
The bugs are tiny, the birds are small,
and best of all, nothing's gonna be trying
to kill us for a change.
[thunderclap]
[King Andrias] My plans are in motion.
Our forces are growing,
and soon we will be ready to invade.
Only one remains who could stand
between me and my conquest.
Anne Boonchuy.
She must be eliminated.
-This is your one objective.
-[all laughing]
This mission requires
the utmost discretion.
We cannot allow the other world
to know of the coming invasion.
Make sure no earthling sees you.
Energy signature acquired.
And one more thing.
Would you mind picking me up
the latest Cynthia Coven book?
Marcy got me hooked,
and I'm dying to know what happens.
And maybe some of those
potato chip things she had.
Eliminate potato chip?
Okay. Forget the chips.
Kill the girl. Get the book.
Well, Marcy, your friends are about to be
eliminated from the equation.
And as for you, my dear,
your part is just beginning.
[snarls]
[beeping]
Target acquired.
Activate stealth mode.
[car alarm blaring]
-[bicycle bell rings]
-[dog barking]
See? You can totally use
my childhood clothes as disguises.
You really liked yellow as a kid, huh?
Won't this make us stand out?
Sprig, I'm sure Anne knows
what she's talking about here.
-[both gasp]
-What?
If you've got it, you've got to flaunt it.
Actually, let's try something else.
[giggles]
There. That oughta do it.
I like it. My very own face bump.
Hey, hey! Look at me.
I'm a human! Durp-a-durp!
Whoa! Whoa!
Wait, Polly.
You were supposed to be the top half.
And not get to use these beautiful legs?
Never!
Fair enough. Now, who's ready
to see my world?
[all] Yeah! Yeah!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Okay. But no more victory jumps.
-Let's go!
-[all whooping]
Not so fast you three--
I mean, you four.
We stick together in there. Understood?
And if anything goes wrong,
it's back in the lockdown for all of you.
We got it. We got it.
Now let's get shoppin'.
[all clamoring]
This was a bad idea, wasn't it?
Oh, yeah.
[all gasp]
[woman on PA] Clean up on aisle six.
Wow! That thing looks like Frobo.
Is that a robot too?
Sort of. It's like a robotic wallet.
Cool. Oh, and is that a robot?
[beeping]
Sprig, not everything is a robot.
[beeping]
Okay, fine. But nothing else.
Oh, no. I left the shopping list at home.
Abort mission! Abort mission!
No worries. I took a picture
of the shopping list before we left.
Just in case.
Oh, thank you, Anne.
That was strangely responsible of you.
Psst. Give me a quarter.
I wanna buy a lotto ticket.
You will do no such thing!
[chuckling] Such puny vegetables.
Huh? Whoa! Mama!
Now, that's more like it.
Oh, that's Durian. It's a Thai favorite.
It's not really my thing.
Since it smells like…
-…rotten eggs.
-Ah!
[choking]
Durian first-timer over here.
[both laughing]
Come on. Let's get you something good.
[gasps]
Mom, Dad, can I take the Plantars
to try out some noodles?
[both] Uh…
I'll keep the Plantars within arms' reach
at all times,
will avoid any customers, and I'll keep
my phone in my hand in case you guys call.
-But--
-And I won't order iced coffee,
even though I love it, because I know
it makes me jittery and anxious.
That does sound fair.
All right, you can go. But be careful.
Yes! We will be.
Thank you. Huh?
-No, you don't!
-Huh?
-Nope. No, no, no, no.
-Oh.
Unbelievable.
She's like a different person.
Maybe old frog was right.
She has come a long way.
Now, come on. Mama needs her jasmine tea.
Stupid door.
[grunts, sighs] Thanks, dude.
I gave you a tray.
All right! Dig in, everyone.
Hmm…
Aah! Hey, these worms are pretty good.
And they're not even fighting back.
Pretty good? They're delicious.
Gimme! [slurping]
Polly likey.
They're not worms. They're noodles.
Asian food's heart and soul.
-Hey!
-[slurping]
[laughs]
[slurping] Aah. Hmm?
-Killer robot!
-Huh?
Sprig, for the last time,
not everything is a--
[grunts]
-Guys!
-Stop! Anne!
Oh, no, you don't!
Take this!
Oh, boy.
Everyone, run!
[sighs] People go crazy for those noodles.
Did you see that thing?
It's a new kind of robo!
It's gotta be from Amphibia.
But how did it get here?
And what does it want?
Andrias must've sent it to capture us.
We have to take this thing out
before my parents notice anything wrong--
Oh! [stammering]
Mom, Dad! Hi!
Hey, guys. How were the noodles?
So good.
I was, uh, just taking the Plantars
to help out with the shopping list.
[all] Yep!
Oh, that's so thoughtful.
Can you also go get a mackerel
from the seafood counter.
Oh, yeah! No prob.
Mmm, mmm, mmm!
Uh, yeah! Gonna do that right now.
[laughing]
Isn't the fish counter the other way?
Anne, can you use your blue powers?
Take it down easy like?
Powers! Powers!
I would if I knew how to use them.
I'm not sure it's something
I can just do whenever.
Boo!
So what do we do?
Won't it draw a lot of attention
if we fight a robot
in the middle of a store?
Probably. But I have a plan.
[rock music playing on speakers]
All right. That'll cover any noise
that we might make. Now, come on.
-What?
-Speak up!
That music makes me mad!
Just come on!
Hey, robot, I brought you some flour!
Good thinking, Anne.
Everyone, attack!
[all shouting]
[music continues]
Hey. I love this song.
Oh, yeah. This is a classic.
Yeah!
[all gasp]
Huh. That's weird.
Looks like the robot doesn't want
to get caught either.
I got him! Oh!
-[grunts] Hop Pop down!
-Retreat!
[panting]
I'm getting real tired of this guy.
Anyone got any ideas?
Great.
Frogs. Body temperature.
[shouts, grunts]
[grunts]
Come on, powers. Come on.
[muffled]
[muffled]
No!
[growls]
[beeping]
If you think I'm just gonna sit here
while you hurt my friends,
you've got another thing coming.
[car alarm blaring]
[groans] Huh?
[sighs]
[ice cracking]
Anne, that was amazing!
You guys weren't kidding
when you said "powers."
Yeah! Do the punch again! Anne?
[groans]
-Anne!
-Anne!
Come on, Anne. Come back.
-Is she okay?
-She's okay.
I think using those powers
takes a lot out of her.
Well, we gotta do something.
If her parents see her like this…
I've got an idea. I'll be right back.
And Durian to the rescue!
Ah! No! Get it away! Hop Pop?
-You're all right!
-Oh, my God!
[all cooing]
[father] Hey. There you guys are.
How was your supermarket journey?
It was great.
Walking around a boring, old supermarket,
was just the thrill we needed. [laughs]
[gasps] Oh!
And here's the fish you wanted.
Oh, Thanks, Anne. Glad you had fun.
And we're sorry for being
so overprotective earlier.
Not only can you take care of yourself,
but it looked like you can even take care
of your friends.
Yes. We are actually very impressed.
Aw. Thanks, but you
don't have to apologize.
You were just doing everything
you could to keep me safe
and I get it.
Yeah, well, some kid made a mess
of the cooking aisle
and we just lucky to have a daughter
who would never do something like that.
[both laughing]
[all laughing]
[cackling]
Don't overdo it.
Anne, are you sure you're okay?
You didn't look too good back there.
Yeah. I'm thinking I shouldn't use
those powers if I can help it.
I don't know how else to describe it.
But using them feels bad.
Well, we won't make you use them again.
Plus, you're sort of taking on
a lot already.
What are you talking about?
All I have to do is protect you guys
and keep you a secret.
And find a way to reopen a portal
to Amphibia and return you home.
And somehow defeat King Andrias
and make up with my two best friends.
And bring them back to Earth.
-Hmm.
-Okay. It sounds like a lot.
But I can do it. I'm perfectly capable.
Can someone please open this door for me?
I'm trying to move my arms,
and nothing's happening.
Hey, anyone else craving those noodles?
Yep. Turns out this world ain't half bad.
Yeah. As long as that robot
never comes back,
I think everything's gonna be fine.
You really gotta stop saying
stuff like that.
[father] What's for dinner?
[in Thai] I'm starving!
[Plantars] Noodles! Noodles! Noodles!
[zapping]
[zapping]
Upgrades and repairs in progress.
Target… will be destroyed
at all costs.
[zapping]
