Season 1 Episode 1: Marcy or Beast.
Dragonflies buzz.
Cuts to Stumpy's.
Wally: Goodnight, you frogs! See you in the morrow. (Bumps into something making a barrel roll on screen.) Oi!
Frogs:(laughing at Wally)
Cuts to Wally walking in the forest and playing his accordion while humming. Wally hears loud rustling caused by "something unknown".
Wally: Hello?
Ominous wind blows.
Wally: What's that?
A mysterious creature pops up from some bushes behind Wally, eyes glowing white.
Wally: AAAH! No no no no! (Shot pans away from Wally.) NOOO!
Shot cuts to village inhabitants going about their daily lives.
A butcher Amphibian cuts a centipede looking creature which screeches.
An amphibian says "woah" in surprise as the front half of the centipede crawls up a house and crashes through the window
Amphibian Couple Both: Mmm...
Guy: (Gets carried off by a dragonfly.) Aaah!
Girl frog: Huh?
A few kid Amphibians laugh while playing.
A slug appears carrying a cart with Hop Pop, Sprig, and Polly Plantar in it while trying to eat a leaf on a fishing pole-like stick.
Hop Pop Plantar: Ho. Ho. (Turns around.) All right, kids I'm gonna do a little shoppin'. You watch the cart.
Sprig Plantar: You got it, Hop Pop! I'll defend this cart with my LIIIIIIIFE! (says life while pounding his chest.)
Hop Pop: Sprig, I was talking to Polly.
Sprig: What? Polly's a baby!
Polly Plantar: (points at Sprig) You're a baby!
Hop Pop: Polly's got more responsibility in her little flipper than you have in your entire body!
Sprig: Ridiculous. What makes you think I'm irresponsible?
Hop Pop: Oh gee. Let me think.
Flashback 1: A green liquid substance explodes out of a pot while Hop Pop's cutting veggies because Sprig put something in it.
Sprig: Oops!
Flashback 2: Sprig crashes through the wall while Hop Pop is sleeping.
Sprig, Hop Pop: Screaming
Cow-worm: Screaming as well.
Flashback 3: Showing outside of Plantar Farm at night.
Hop Pop:Sprig, what did I tell you about leaving the lights on?!
Giant fireflies start ramming the house.
Hop Pop, Sprig, and Polly: Screaming.
Sprig: Okay. So yesterday was a bad day.
Hop Pop: Mm-hmm. (Hops off of cart while grunting.) Polly, make sure Sprig stays in the cart. (Goes inside the Grub Go) Well, how do you do, Mrs. Jonkins?
Sprig: Sighs. Wish there was a way to prove I'm not such a goof-up.
Wally: (Runs out, screams pants.) Monster! Th-there's a monster in the woods! I seen it! I seen it!
A bunch of villagers walk in including Mayor Toadstool.
Mayor Toadstool: Now, simmer down Wally. Just tell us what you saw.
Wally: Oh, it was horrifying. It had a huge head, A weird, stubby bump right in the middle of its face and long spindly limbs!
Toadie, Sadie Croaker, Mr. Flour, and Leopold Loggle: Gasps.
Toadie: Obscene!
Mayor Toadstool: We better catch this beast before it hurts somebody. Because for Mayor Toadstool, your safety comes first.
Villagers: Applauding.
Wally: Well, it's the responsible thing to do.
Villagers repeat responsible a few times.
Sprig: Polly, I just had a great idea. I am going to catch that beast and save the town.
Polly: (Puts one of her flippers up.) Stop right there! Hop Pop said that you had to stay in this cart. (She flexes her muscles.) You know you can't take me!
Sprig: (Grunts in frustration.) Oh, oh, Polly, look. (Grabs out candy from shirt.) Candy! (Blows raspberry and drops it.)
Polly: Bribe accepted! (She eats some of the candy.)
Sprig: Let the monster hunt begin! (He goes into the forest.)
Polly: Don't die!
Cut to a landscape with mountains and dragonflies flying above.
Cut down to Sprig . He is running along in a forest. He pops out of a log and finds a bug in his hair. He eats it. He then readies a slingshot, then looks down and gasps.
Sprig: Seems like the beast roams these parts. Probably a good place for a tra-aaAAAAHHH!
He is caught in a rope trap and flies into the air. He then falls back down. He's hanging upside down. He groans.
Sprig: Hm?
The beast steps out from behind some bushes, and it's revealed to be... a disheveled human girl. She is panting and holding a pointed stick.
Marcy Wu: Caught ya! Thought you got the best of old little Marcy, huh? Well, you didn't! And i can't believe that trap actually worked.
She keeps panting. Sprig gasps. Cut to the parts of Marcy's body Sprig is mentioning.
Sprig: Giant head! Spindly limbs! Face bump! THE BEEEEAASST!
Marcy: Stop following me please.
Sprig: I have bad news for you, beast! I taste terrible!
Marcy: (puts stick down) Wha-?, I am not gonna eat you.
Sprig: You tried to eat Wally!
Marcy: I tried to ask "Wally" (while doing air quotes) for help. He ran off screaming the second he saw me!
Sprig: That does sound like Wally...
A monster-sounding screech is heard. Trees start falling over.
Marcy: It's coming back!
Sprig: What is?
Marcy groans. She runs off.
Sprig: Where you going?
The monster screeches again. Sprig flails about, screaming. He starts to gnaw on the rope to free himself. The monster screeches again. Sprig stops chewing the rope and screams. Marcy frowns and cuts him free. She grabs him and starts running only to fall in the process but get up again.
Sprig: Whoop, here we go.
Marcy and Sprig duck under a log. The monster- a giant red mantis- passes by. Sprig and Marcy gasp and fall to the ground.
Sprig: You... you saved me! You're not a beast at all! You're a hero! An ugly, ugly, ugly and clumsy hero!
Marcy: Call me ugly again, and maybe I will eat you after all.
Sprig: Ha. You're not gonna eat me. You got a name, stranger?
Marcy: My name's Marcy. Marcy Wu.
Sprig: I'm Sprig Plantar! Put 'er there!
He holds out his hand.
Marcy: umm... okay...
She shakes his hand. Her hand becomes covered in slime.
Marcy: Woah... your hand just barfed on my hand. Funny.
She rubs off the slime. Her stomach grumbles. She sighs.
Marcy: (stomach rumbles) Okay, "Sprig". You got anything to eat?
Sprig: Sure do!
He lifts up a section of the log. Bugs are crawling around underneath.
Marcy: Things that aren't bugs...?
Sprig: No bugs, eh? (he eats a bug.) We'll have to hunt around a bit. (he runs off.) C'mon! Follow me!
Marcy: Okay sure, Of course..Wait, How do I know I can trust you?
Sprig: Whaaat? (he makes a cutesy face.) Does this look like a face that could deceive you?
Marcy: (laughs) Yeah, I think i cant not.
Sprig: Well, then, c'mon! (he grabs her arm, startling her.) Chow time! (they run off together)
Hop Pop: (Hums) Huh?
Mayor ToadstoolNow, when I say "kill," you say "it." Kill!
Villagers: It!
Mayor Toadstool: Kill.
Villagers: It!
Hop Pop: Heh. Another day, another mob. (He begins to look behind him) Come on kids, time to- What the?!?
He finds a bloated Polly, who sees him.
Polly: I don't have a candy problem! You have a candy problem!
Hop Pop: Polly, where's Sprig?
Polly: Uh... something-something monster, something-something woods.
Wally: Oh, if your boy went into the woods, he's as good as eaten. That beast will devour everything in its path.
Hop Pop: Not on my watch! (Picks up Polly) Hang in there boy! Hop Pop's a-comin'!
Villagers: Yeah!
Wally: Harvest the toenails for medicinal purposes!
Sprig: (Dumps a bunch of food in front of Marcy.)
Marcy: (Picks up pink branch-like food and eats it) Hey, its pretty good.
Sprig: Mm-hmm. So, first question: What the heck are you, and where did you come from?!
Marcy: I'm a human being and I come from...(Shouts) another world! (Stops shouting) And i came here with 2 of my friends.
Sprig: Woooow... do you know how you got here?
Marcy: Yeah-Uh i mean No. I was in my world and the next thing I knew I was here. I don't know how to get home *thinks: i cant just tell this frog boy that im the reason i am here.* (sits on rock next to Sprig) or if I even can go home. So, yup, that's my story. How about you? What were you doing in the woods? Were you hiding away to play video games?
Sprig: Video games? i dont know what those are but I was proving that I'm responsible!
Marcy: Oh, really? How did you plan that?
Sprig: Uhhhhh...
Wally:There they are!
Mayor Toadstool: Here come our boys.
Marcy: What? Stay away from me! (Villagers tie her up and she screams)
Sprig: No! You guys got it all wrong!
Hop Pop: Ha-ha! You caught the monster! Sprig I'm impressed.
Marcy: What the? You set me up? I thought we were connecting! Like becoming friends.
Sprig: N-no, no, no! This wasn't my plan.
Green Praying Mantis: (Roars)
Villagers: (Mixed gasps and screams)
Mayor Toadstool: Hurry! Everyone! Mantis formation!
(Everyone gets into formation.)
Blue VIllager: Hyah!
Green Praying Mantis: (Walks away squeaks)
Hop Pop: We scared it off!
Mayor Toadstool: villagersWe have power!
Red Praying Mantis: (Lands)
Polly: Nope. that scared it off.
Hop Pop: Yeah, that makes more sense.
Red Praying Mantis: (Screeches and hits a bunch of villagers)
Villager: It's gonna eat our guts!
Marcy: NO! Huh? (Sprig is untying her) What is this, another trick of yours?
Sprig: I'll distract that thing. You get out of here. (Runs and pants) (Marcy gets up and falls down imediatlly but gets up again.) (Shouts) Hey! (Sprig slingshots a rock at the Red Praying Mantis) Ha-ha! Oops. (Red Praying Mantis shrieks) Aaah!
Marcy: (Grabs the Red Praying Mantis' arm struguling to hold on cus she isnt the strongest.) Do something please!! (Marcy's eyes flash green)
Sprig: Oh, right! On it. Here we go. (Grabs rope) (Grunts while running around with rope) Round. Loop. (Tries and fails to tie up the monster.)
Marcy: (Helps to completely tie up the monster.)
Red Praying Mantis: (Shrieks dies)
Villagers: (Gasps) Woo-hoo!
Mayor Toadstool: It's down!
Marcy and Sprig: We did it! YEAH!!
Marcy: Up top buddy! (Sprig high-fives Marcy with his tongue) Oh, boy that's gross but i dont care.
Mayor Toadstool: Well, now that that's settled, what the heck are we gonna do with this thing? Maybe we oughta run it out of town just to be safe. Let it be someone else's problem.
Villagers: (Starts to mob and shout)
Sprig: (Blocks Marcy from the villagers) Stop right there! She's not a monster. She's just lost and needs our help. We should take care of her.
Mayor Toadstool: Are you crazy?
Wally: Yeah. What if it goes nutty tomorrow and starts eating people?
Marcy: Nope, Not gonna happen, buddy. I'm not like that.(Does the Marcy Wu face.)*
Hop Pop: Don't worry yourselves silly. I'll keep an eye on 'em, both of 'em.
Mayor Toadstool: Hmm. Have it your way, Hopediah Plantar, but I don't like it. All right boys pack it in.
Villagers: (Grumbling) Boo. This thing tastes real good with butter.
Sprig: (holds his arm and looks at Hop Pop, expecting a scolding) Looks like I'm back to causing trouble for the family again, huh?
Hop Pop: (Looks at Sprig, smiling) Trouble? Sprig, standing up to that angry mob to help this creature out was... Some of the bravest and most responsible stuff I've ever seen!
Polly: (Atop Hop Pop's head) That was pretty cool, Sprig. It was also really dumb!
Hop Pop: Yes. Really, really dumb.
Sprig: (Gasps in amazement) You think I'm responsible?
Hop Pop tries to make Sprig understand he meant something else, while Spring enthuses and Marcy checks her phone.
Hop PopWell, yeah, I mean, just this one time...
SprigYes! Woo hoo!
Sprig starts to perform a victory dance.
Hop Pop(Continues) Well, don't get carried away...
SprigBig win!
Marcy: Welp, this has been a really great adventure, but just please help me find a way to get out of this place. Maybe like a map.
Hop Pop: Oh, a map won't be enough. (Gets out map) This here valley is surrounded by mountains that are impenetrable this time of year.
Sprig: (Looks at Marcy) It should clear up in a couple of months.
Hop Pop: But until then, you try to cross those mountains-
Polly: You will die.
Marcy: Are you telling me I'm stuck in this amazing crazy place for two whole months? But where am i gonna stay, maybe like a cave-?
Cuts to Plantar Farm
Hop Pop: (Turns on light) All righty. Kitchen's upstairs. Breakfast at sunrise, sharp.
Marcy: Okay. Thanks, Buddy.
Sprig: Hey! Gettin' comfy? (Tosses some plushies on ground) Brought some toys to keep you company. I'm too old for these. O-oh, except for this one. Oh, and this one. Oops, this one too. Sorry. This one as well. I'm glad you're livin' with us, monster.
Marcy: Yeah, Me too, little frog boy.
Sprig: Okay. (Starts climbing while dropping one of the plushies) Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite. Seriously, they can drain a body in seconds.
Marcy: Ew! Hahaha, Bye Sprig. (Takes out the Calamity Box and blows on it) Come on, come on! (Opens it to no avail. Then closes and opens it 3 times more and sighs) Looks like I'm gonna be here for a while. Im just glad i might be able to find my friends and go on AWESOME asventures together one day. Ohh maybe like cool Anime powers as well. Haha.
