Amphibia (2019) s03e18 Episode Script

1
[Olivia] King Andrias and Darcy
have been defeated.
- We are victorious!
- [crowd cheering]
[whirs]
[whirs]
Hey, uh, is it just me,
or is the moon getting closer?
[all gasping]
Oh, crud.
[Mrs. Croaker]
Is that the moon?
- [Wally] It's coming towards us!
- [Loggle] What's going on?
[chuckling]
It seems the Core has activated
its final gambit.
Its what?
When our civilization was at its peak,
the moon became home
to some of the Core's pet projects.
Among them, a plan to eradicate
all life as we know it
by ramming the moon
into Amphibia's surface.
- [all gasp]
- Excuse me? Why?
Fear. I've been in that thing's head.
I know that more than anything,
it's afraid of being destroyed.
Of being irrelevant.
It will do whatever it takes to defeat us
and claim the stones as its own.
If that means destroying
an entire civilization, then so be it.
So what you're saying is
this thing's a giant sore loser!
Hmm. More or less.
We have to do something!
Anyone have any ideas
on how to stop an entire moon?
- [rumbling]
- [screaming]
An earthquake?
Don't we have enough going on?
[both] Mother Olm?
Who is this now?
So? How did it go?
Well, we stopped the invasion,
but now it looks like the moon
is about to kill us all,
so, mixed bag.
I see. Then the prophecy has finally
come to pass.
[gasps] Sasha mentioned this!
What did it say? What did it say?
It said that the three of us
would save the world.
So, let's go save the world!
[both] Yeah!
Well, just a minute, the prophecy doesn't
necessarily say you'll succeed.
- Wh-Wha--
- Wha--
You see, the prophecy
isn't so much a prediction
as it is a humble request for help.
And know this: You have to tap
into the energy that remains in the stones
in order to get the energy you need.
However, if you do that
There might not be enough energy left
for us to get home.
We could be stuck in Amphibia forever.
Yeah. So, now that all the cards are
on the table, what will you do?
The choice is yours.
You call that a choice?
Of course we'll help!
There's no way we'd leave you hanging
in your hour of need.
[all cheer]
Whew! I wasn't worried.
Were you worried, Toadie?
Because I sure wasn't.
Now let's get powered up.
Ladies, to the music box.
[cheering]
Anne, one more thing.
The stones are strong,
but they may not be enough
to defeat the core.
If things look bad out there,
don't forget about the secret spell.
Wait. The secret what now?
- Didn't I tell you about that?
- No!
[sighs] Well, the stones are rumored
to hold a hidden power,
enough to defeat any foe.
But summoning such power comes at a price.
The life of the user.
So, whoever uses this spell
and calls on the power of all three stones
will die.
Yeah.
But hopefully it will never come to that.
Am I right?
Okay, good luck up there.
Wait!
The spell-- How do I use it?
My child, you have only but to ask.
Hey, sorry for the holdup, guys.
[gasps] No way! Valeriana?
She was waiting for us when we got here!
Pretty creepy, if you ask me.
[squawks] Pretty creepy. Pretty creepy.
Hello, Anne. Are you ready
for your final battle?
Oh, heck yeah.
Good. Now, the three of you
close your eyes.
Focus. Think of your memories of Amphibia.
Of how much this world means to you.
This will allow the stones
to resonate with your hearts once again!
Warriors of Amphibia, arise!
[all] Whoa!
Swanky duds!
[blows] Anne!
You could do that this whole time?
Uh, nope. These powers feel
way more intense than before.
The powers must stack when used in tandem!
Classic synergy buff.
Okay then. Let's go punch that moon
in its big ugly face.
Yes! Yes! Get it, girl!
I know her!
She lived in my basement.
Incoming targets. Deploy defenses.
Game on, you stinky space bugs.
Here's the serve!
[murmurs] This is the coolest, most anime
thing that's ever happened to me.
I'm so happy to be able to fight
by your side!
[grunts]
Nat 20, baby!
- [The Core] Andrias.
- Father?
[The Core] Help us. Save us,
and you can finally join us
forever.
Hey! What are you doing?
What I must. Frobots, engage.
Enough with the small fry.
Time to take care of that moon.
[all straining]
Huh?
Leave 'em to me.
[yelps]
Come on!
No way! Andrias's robots?
[strains] They're helping us.
I don't believe this. You're--
Finally doing something useful?
[The Core] You fool!
You could have been immortal!
What are you doing?
Something I should have done
a long time ago:
standing up to you!
Full throttle engaged!
[The Core] Fools!
You cannot stop a god!
[all straining]
Even with the robot army, it's not enough.
Guys, hate to bring this up,
but I think I'm fading fast.
Me too.
Our bodies aren't
as used to this as yours.
Look, guys. I know what we have to do.
I'm going to call upon the power
of all three stones.
I may die in the process, but at least you
and everyone else will be safe.
- [Marcy] What?
- Are you crazy?
There's no way we're letting you do that.
Our whole lives, I've followed you two.
Counted on you. Trusted you.
Now it's your turn to follow my lead.
Please. Let me do this.
- Anne.
- But-- But--
Not sure how this will go,
so you better get out of here.
You'd better come back alive, Boonchuy.
I swear to frog you'd better!
Hey! Aren't you supposed to be
saving the world?
Anne sent us back.
She's gonna try to stop it herself, but
She said she may not make it.
[all] What?
No. No, no, no, no, no. We can't let her.
Frobo, take me to Anne.
Now!
Sprig, no! It's too dangerous.
[The Core] Whelp. You dare use
Amphibia's greatest treasure against us?
These stones are not
Amphibia's greatest treasure.
Mother Olm said all I had to do was ask.
So, I'm asking.
Can you help me save the world I love?
[whooshing]
[Sprig] Anne!
Please don't do this. Don't go.
I don't know what I'll do without you.
You're my everything.
You changed my life.
And you've changed mine.
[sobbing]
Goodbye, Sprig.
[cheering]
Come on, Anne. You'll be okay.
[sobbing]
[sobbing]
Don't cry, Sprig. It's okay.
Saving this world was the best decision
I've ever made.
My only regret is that
I never got to see Love Choice 2.
[sobbing, chuckling]
[overlapping voices]
Anne. Anne? Anne. Anne?
Anne. No. Anne!
Anne! Anne!
[chimes]
[clicks]
Uh, hello. Hi. Who are you?
What's going on?
"I am the cosmic guardian
who has watched over countless worlds
for countless eons"?
Whoa. Okay.
What's up with this old-timey computer?
[scoffs] You're off by a couple decades.
[gasps]
[guardian] How's this? Better?
So much better! Come here, you!
- [guardian] Hey, hey. None of that.
- Sorry, sorry.
I figured your response would be
something like this.
I am very cute.
So, what's going on?
Am I dead or something?
Yes and no. I made a copy of you
right before you expired.
A backup, if you will.
For all intents and purposes,
you're the same Anne Boonchuy.
Well, that's gonna cause
some serious existential dread later on.
So, does that make you
Just a watcher, a viewer.
I'm not in the demographic though.
And you look like my cat because
My true form would make
your human brain explode.
I don't know.
I've seen some pretty crazy--
[screams]
[purring]
Now to business.
Anne Boonchuy,
I have brought you to this place
because I want to offer you a job.
Wha--
To keep a near infinite story short,
I've been doing this job
for a very long time.
It's exhausting.
So, I was hoping you would
consider being my replacement.
- Me?
- Yes, you.
Look, I created the stones to see
how mortals would handle unlimited power.
Turns out, not that well.
Would you believe,
after about 10,000 years,
you're the only individual
who used that power for good?
Uh, this is a lot to take in right now.
I mean, do I have a choice?
Well, of course you do.
I'm not a jerk.
Well, then, I'm gonna have to pass.
[gasps] No! I haven't even told you
about Bagel Fridays!
Sorry, dude. You seem cool,
but I'm just a 13-year-old kid.
For every "heroic sacrifice,"
I make a hundred dumb mistakes.
I'd probably blow up the multiverse
if you put me in charge.
No! Don't do this to me, kid.
You're the only mortal who qualifies.
You're perfect.
No one's perfect.
My time in Amphibia taught me
that we're all changing
and improving and learning as we go.
Every time I hit an obstacle,
I found a way to overcome it.
When I thought Sasha and Marcy
would be stuck in their old ways,
they proved me wrong,
and our friendship got stronger.
And Wartwood, the oldest-fashioned,
least accepting place,
ended up accepting me as one of their own.
So you're saying
you could continue improving?
Maybe even one day
feel worthy of this post?
It's possible.
I have my whole life ahead of me
to make bad choices and learn
good lessons from 'em.
Or I had my whole life ahead of me.
About that
Whoa! Wha-- What's happening?
Am I actually dying this time?
I'm sending you back
to the world of the living.
You've shown me the error in my thinking.
And if you can do that at age 13,
then imagine the guardian you'll be
after a life fully lived.
- [screams]
- Go. Live your life.
I've waited thousands of years to retire.
What's 78 years more?
Wait. Are you saying that
in 78 years I'm gonna
[screams]
[sobbing]
[clears throat]
What's everyone looking at?
Not now, Anne.
We're mourning the loss of a true hero
and the greatest kid who ever--
- Anne?
- Eh?
Hey, dude.
[grunts]
- [excited chattering]
- Anne!
[laughing]
[chuckles] What'd I miss?
Well, the moon and the Core exploded,
and then so did you.
But you're back somehow. Which is amazing.
But also how?
I don't know where to begin.
The whole thing feels like a dream.
Question: Why is your pocket glowing?
What are those?
[Anne] I think they're our chance
for a fresh start.
- [gasps]
- [all laughing]
It's over. It's finally over.
Based on what Anne told us,
I think these shards are
low output versions of the stones.
So we can use them to get back home?
In theory.
But we're talking crumbs of energy.
Judging by the size and luminosity,
I think they're one-time use only.
So if we use these to return home,
there's no coming back.
Not only that.
Who knows how long they'll hold for.
Could be hours. Could be minutes.
Well, we better say our goodbyes.
You girls need to go back
to your own lives.
And I think we've kept you long enough.
I came to this world
thinking only of myself.
It was wrong of me, and I wish
I had gotten to know you both better.
I think we all have a lot to learn,
Master Marcy.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
In a way you helped us see
what was important as well.
Goodbye, Andrias.
Take care, kiddo.
[grunting]
- Commander.
- Lieutenant.
It was an honor serving with you.
[sobbing] I'm gonna miss you so much!
[sobbing]
Not as much as I'm gonna miss you!
You find Percy and Braddock.
You tell them I'll miss them forever.
I will.
As soon as I find the pieces of my heart
and put them back together.
[sobbing]
[both sobbing]
Goodbye, Polly.
You're the little sister
I never knew I needed.
I know you're gonna grow into
an amazing frog and take over the world.
[sniffles]
Without you as my moral compass,
I definitely will.
Goodbye, HP.
Thanks for taking me in.
I'm so lucky to call myself a Plantar.
I'm the lucky one, Anne.
And I'm so blessed to have
a granddaughter like you.
If you ever need
a home-cooked meal or your old room back,
just [sniffles] stop by.
Like an old, wise frog once told me,
family always finds each other.
[Sprig sniffling]
[sobbing]
Goodbye, Anne.
I-- I'll never forget you.
And I won't forget you either, Sprig.
Which means that we'll never be apart.
Not really.
[sobbing]
Nothing will ever change
how much you mean to me.
Not time or space or being worlds apart.
Spranne against the world?
Spranne against the world.
I want you to have this.
Maybe it'll help you
on your future adventures.
[snail purrs]
[clicks, whirs]
[electricity crackling]
[cheering]
[wind whistling]
[rattling, jingling]
So, what now?
Now we build a better world.
Together.
[gasps, strains]
[gasps] Not to undercut you guys,
but I just got my first hair!
Actually, I love this now.
Good day, you frogs.
See you at the ceremony.
- [thuds]
- [grunts]
Pardon me, young lady.
[Polly] Who you callin' young lady?
Oh. Hello, Polly!
Still can't get used to you
as a frog. [chuckles]
Whatever, Wally.
Here's the potion for your rheumatism,
Mrs. Croaker.
- Try not to drink it too fast?
- [gulps]
Whoo, mama! Let's dance!
[humming]
Whoa!
Hurry up, Loggle.
It's almost time for the unveiling.
[sighs] I never should've taken
that cheat day.
[screeches]
Hello, delegates.
You're just in time for the ceremony.
Toadie. You won the election?
Well, I had a little help.
Constituents don't bribe
themselves! [chuckles]
- [both murmuring]
- [chirps]
You know, I wouldn't mind settling down
in a quiet swamp like this.
It's slow, the people are friendly--
And it's far away
from the countless enemies I made
when I was General Yunan,
Scourge of the Sand Wars,
Defeater of Ragnar the Wretched--
[clears throat] I know, sweetheart.
We all know.
[chirping]
Sup, HP! Where's Sprig?
It's ceremony time.
In his usual spot.
Perfect!
Sprig, come on!
It's time for the unveiling ceremony!
Finally! Can't wait to see
how it turned out.
[cheering, applause]
Ambush!
Guess what, Sprig. Grime just told me
they discovered a new continent
untouched by frog, newt or toad.
Feel like a new adventure?
I'm in!
[horns honking]
[chiming]
Today marks the ten-year anniversary
of the event we've come to know
as Frog-vasion.
But the real question remains,
was it all a hoax?
[gasps] Sasha!
Marce!
[chuckles, screams]
I'm okay.
Gosh, it's been a minute.
How was the flight?
[Marcy] Pretty good.
Can you believe it's been ten years?
Crazy, right?
So, what have you been up to?
Still doing that webcomic?
I read a few chapters. It's awesome.
Oh, thanks.
Uh, it's doing pretty well online.
And how about you?
Psych degree coming in handy?
Yep. I really like working with the kids.
Helping them overcome
their emotional baggage.
I have a lot of experience.
- Hey! Nice signal, buddy!
- [horn honks]
So, did you and Anne hang out much
after I moved?
At first, yeah, but we kind of fell into
different friend groups in high school.
We still talked,
but only every once in a while.
Never mind that though. Have you heard
what Anne is doing these days?
[Marcy] Yes, and I love it.
[squawking]
[chattering]
[children giggling]
- [crowd murmuring]
- [frog croaks]
[Anne] A frog's environment is everything.
They love humidity.
This energetic fella
is a pink South American tree frog.
- [gasping]
- So cute!
What's his name?
I named him Sprig,
after a dear, dear friend of mine.
Okay, class. Everyone thank
Anne the herpetologist.
[all] Thanks, frog lady!
[Anne thinking] Change can be difficult,
but it's how we grow.
It can be the hardest thing
to realize
you can't hold on to something forever.
Sometimes, you have to let it go.
But of the things you let go,
you'd be surprised
what makes its way back to you.
