Spookley the Square Pumpkin (2005) Movie Script

[narrator] Our story begins

as most stories do

with something worth telling,

with something that's new.

This story takes place

on Holiday Hill Farm

where every day is a holiday.

Come on along.

It's a cool, crisp morning

just before Halloween

in the most beautiful pumpkin patch

you have ever seen.

[giggles]

[gasps]

[squeaks in panic]

Phew!

-[screams]

-You know, I hate fast food.

[whimpers]

So let's make this as quick

and painless as possible... for me.

[whimpers]

Boris, what did I tell you

about playing with your food?

Oh, but, sis, I was just...

You know, I...

She started it.

Hmm? Uh-uh.

How many times do I have to tell you?

It's this kind of behavior

that gives bats a bad name,

all this scaring and swooping...

and bug eating.

-It's so old school.

-Hm-mm, hm-mm, hm-mm.

But, Bella, I'm hungry.

Have some granola.

Low fat, high protein, and no squirming.

But I like squirming.

And you just get along there,

you little cutie.

[giggles]

[gasps]

[both] Jack! Jack!

-[Bella] Come quick!

-[Boris] Jack!

Oh, Jack.

Wait until you see what we've found.

-It's amazing.

-Huh?

Boris, Bella. W-W-What is it?

-Well, it's kind of a... Uh, well, a...

-You'll see. Follow me.

Oh!

What? Whoa! Out of the way. Earthquake.

Scarecrow... Hi, Jack.

Where are we going, huh, Jack?

Where we going?

To the zoo maybe?

Or the circus. Oh, I love the circus.

[chants] We're going to the circus!

We're going to the circus!

Big Tom, how could you even think of

leaving little old Bobo behind?

And us honeydoos. Don't forget us.

Shh!

Oh!

A square pumpkin.

[excited chatter]

Impossible.

Hello there, little fella.

What's your name?

[stutters] Spookley.

Oh, isn't he the cutest thing?

Adorable. Can we eat now?

Cute? You're not going to let

that orange brick grow here

with the rest of us, are you?

Are you?

Why not? He's a pumpkin.

This is a pumpkin patch.

Well, look at him. He's not like us.

He's a freak of nature.

A mistake.

A weed.

[horrified gasps]

I'm not a weed.

And you know what weeds do.

They spread, and they don't stop

spreading until they take over.

Oh, this is all we need.

-And with Halloween--

-Oh, shucks. Cut it out, Little Tom.

He's just one little pumpkin.

That's all it takes, just one bad pumpkin

to ruin the whole patch, and he is it.

No, I'm not.

I say, the only good pumpkins

are round pumpkins.

But it's not my fault I'm square.

Maybe I'm not done growing yet.

[inhales]

[creaking]

[exhales]

And that name, Spookley.

What kind of name is that?

It sounds evil.

Spookley. Spookley.

Spookley the square pumpkin.

[sniffs]

[both laugh]

[both gasp]

Hey, what's the big idea?

Hey, hey, hey, put us down.

If I put you down,

will you guys behave?

-Yeah. No problem.

-No problem.

[both] You bet.

You won't even know we're here.

Invisible as a dormouse.

[both grunt]

Except for,

well, staying in the patch is one thing,

but there's no way, no how,

and not the slightest possibility

that pointy over there is going to be

allowed in the Jack A Lympics.

Oh, gosh, the Jack A Lympics.

Well, I...

[Little Tom] Of course not.

A square pumpkin,

in the Jack A Lympics no less.

-Never been done, never been heard of.

-Well, no.

I guess it's never been heard of.

But, Jack, Spookley is a pumpkin.

You said so yourself.

[both grunt]

-Wha...?

-[yells]

[groans]

What did you say?

She said, "Spookley is a pumpkin."

I heard what she said!

Well, you're right about that.

And we did find it right smack dab

in the middle of the patch.

The pumpkin patch.

That's a fact,

and that does make him part of the patch.

But, Jack...

And the winner of the Jack A Lympics

is how we name the pick of the patch

for Halloween. Isn't it, Jack?

Well, sure it is!

And it's the greatest honor

of all for a pumpkin

on a holiday made especially for pumpkins.

Halloween.

Has been ever since

I've been in charge around here.

Well, at least, I think it has.

As if we didn't all already know

who's the pick of this pumpkin patch.

[giggles]

Pumpkin.

Uh. Of course, all the events are kind of

geared toward roundness, I guess.

Traditionally, that is.

Yes, yes, exactly. Tradition.

And where would we be without tradition?

-But...?

-Tradition.

[yelps]

But he is a pumpkin, and...

[clears throat] Not really, Jack.

With all due respect,

the pumpkin or pumpkinus pumpkinumpkinus,

is by definition round.

And when you say pumpkin, you are talking

about a long tradition of roundness.

Real pumpkins are round. The end.

I need to do some thinking on this.

This is a real head-scratcher.

[whistles]

[chuckles]

[narrator] Poor Spookley sat there

all alone, sad and confused,

wishing he hadn't grown,

wondering how different things

might have been

if he was round, if he fit in.

[sighs]

[sniffs]

♪ If I was round, then you'd see ♪

♪ They wouldn't make fun of me ♪

♪ And maybe I would find a friend ♪

♪ If I was round,

if I was more like them ♪

♪ If I was round, I would be ♪

♪ More like them and less like me ♪

♪ And maybe I would fit right in ♪

♪ If I was round,

if I was more like them ♪

♪ There'd be no more teasing,

no more taunting ♪

♪ No more staring,

no more pointing ♪

♪ No more wishing that I wasn't found ♪

[sighs]

♪ If I, if I, if I ♪

♪ If I was... ♪

♪ If I was round ♪

I've decided

there's only one thing to do.

Well?

Square or not, Spookley's a pumpkin.

And every pumpkin deserves

a chance to win the Jack A Lympics

and be the pick of the patch on Halloween,

and every pumpkin, no matter what,

deserves a chance

to wear the candy corn crown.

What? Wear the crown? But...

The crown! The crown!

The candy corn crown.

- The crown!

- The crown! The crown! The crown!

The candy corn crown.

Now, where did I put it? Uh...

No. [laughs]

Oh, I knew this was gonna happen!

[thud]

Oh! There it is.

-The candy corn crown.

-[pumpkins gasp]

Did somebody say candy?

Did somebody say crown?

Why, Jack, that looks like

the very one I lost last week.

Huh?

Sorry, Bobo, but you'll have to win this

if you want it.

Hm!

OK, we kick off

the Jack A Lympics tomorrow,

and everybody, including Spookley...

Spookley?

Oh, Spookley?

Where'd he go?

Aw, what's so great about Halloween

anyway?

[spider 1] What's so great

about Halloween?

I can answer that in one word.

Candy corn.

-[spider 2] Ah, that's two words, boss.

-[Spookley] Who's there?

-Edgar.

-Allan.

And I'm Poe with an "e" on the end.

Y-You're spiders.

-We prefer to say we're in web design.

-[drum and cymbal crash]

And did we really hear you ask

what was so great about Halloween?

Why, it's a pumpkin's dream holiday.

[chuckles]

-It is?

-Absolutely.

There ain't nothing more popular

than a pumpkin on Halloween,

especially here on Holiday Hill Farm.

Oh, I don't know.

Still not convinced, huh?

- Well, let me show you what I mean.

[laughs]

Gosh, Halloween does seem like

a lot of fun,

but the other pumpkins said...

Other pumpkins? Other pumpkins?

Did Itsy-Bitsy

stop climbing the water spout

because the other spider said he couldn't?

No.

-Did Charlotte stop spinning her web?

-No.

-And do you know why?

-No.

Because they believed in themselves.

That's why.

You know, Spookley, I think there's

an itsy-bitsy spider inside of you.

You do?

Sure I do.

Listen, you want to be the pick of

the patch for Halloween, don't you?

Well, I guess. Sure.

Great, Spookley, my boxy friend,

and we're gonna help you win

that delicious, scrumptious,

mouth-watering, sugar-coated crown.

[laughs] Aren't we, boys?

[both] Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

Oh.

-[drumroll]

-[fanfare]

[narrator] The day had finally arrived

for the pumpkins' big test.

Each one was ready

to do his or her best.

Because the pumpkin

that did everything just right,

would be the pick of the patch

on Halloween night.

Ah, the Jack A Lympics. I love 'em.

Me, too. I've been pumpkin up all year.

What are you doing here?

I'm going to be in the Jack A Lympics too.

Says who?

Says us.

[laughs] Oh, yeah. [laughs]

Oh, you're kidding. Oh, you make me...

Oh, I'm dying here.

-What are you laughing at, tiny?

-[laughs] Oh, right.

-Tiny? Why, you... I...

-[spiders scream]

Whoa.

Get him, Big Tom.

All right, everybody.

We... Well, hello there, Spookley.

Glad you could make it.

Well, let's get the Jack A Lympics

started!

[fanfare]

[cheering]

OK. Here's what's gonna happen.

Bella, Boris, a little help, please?

Well, first off, we've got the Pumpkin 500

racing around

and around this track here.

Secondly, it's the Smack O Lantern,

knock down the pins here,

here, here, and here.

And finally,

it's the Pumpkin Pitch,

flying through the air.

Accuracy counts.

Any questions?

[clears throat] I would just like to say

on behalf of all the pumpkins,

that clearly

the winner of these events will be I.

So if you would just hand over

the candy corn crown, Jack,

everyone could get back

to their little lives.

Is everybody ready?

Is everybody... Do I not look ready?

OK, everybody meet up

by the water tower in five minutes.

-Let's get going.

-Huh?

Aw...

What's the matter, Spookley?

[sighs] I don't know if I can do this.

Sure you can. Come on.

Besides, you'll never know

if you never try.

Hey, wait for us.

Ah! Doesn't that Bella seem awfully nice?

Let me tell you something about bats,

my young friend.

They are the lowest form

of bug-eating life, bar none.

They are sneaky and slimy.

-And smelly.

-And smelly. Thank you, Allan.

Why, I get mad just thinking about it.

[they yell]

Hello, Appetizer.

-Meet Entrée and Dessert.

-Wait a minute. You can't eat us.

-Why not?

-Because bats eat bugs,

and in case you didn't know,

we're not bugs.

-We're arachnerds.

-Uh, "nids." We are arachnids.

Yeah, I mean "nids."

Ah, well, arachnerds,

arachnids, a rack of lamb,

it's all the same to me. I love bugs.

Mm-hm.

Put him down.

-But, Bella...

-Boris, I want you to promise me,

no more bugs.

Now, put him down and promise.

[whimpers]

Oh, all right. No more bugs. I promise.

[yells] Ouch!

Fricassee, shmicassee!

Hm. That was some of the worst singing

I've ever heard.

Oh, that Bella sure is sweet,

and nice, too.

Would it be so wrong for a spider

to fall in love with a bat?

Uh... Eh... Ah... Oh... Uh...

Let the Jack A Lympics begin.

[fanfare]

The first event is the...

the Pumpkin 500.

Good luck, everybody.

First pumpkin across the finish line

is the winner.

Give me a B. Give me an O.

Give me B-O.

Ew...

Go, Bobo.

[laughs]

All right, kid, you are a power runner.

You've gotta be fast out of the blocks.

Yeah, yeah, and remember,

victory is sweet.

[slurps] Like candy corn.

Like Bella, too.

On your mark.

Get set.

-Go.

-[panting]

[Edgar] Come on, Spookley.

You can do it, baby.

Go, go, go!

Yeah! Yeah!

[panting]

[spiders grunt]

Huh? Whoa.

[pumpkins yelp]

Hey! Whoa!

[mumbles]

Uh, uh, what'd he say?

He said... Run!

[yells]

Whoa!

[grunts]

[yells]

The winner!

-[fanfare]

-Winner, winner, winner.

[groans]

[pants] Is it... Is it over?

Di... Did I... Did I win?

Not exactly. But don't worry, kid.

It's not how you start,

it's how you finish.

It ain't over till it's over.

And it ain't over. Is it over?

-[cheering]

-[fanfare]

Little Tom and Big Tom,

you are disqualified for cheating.

First place goes to...

-[drumroll]

-Bobo.

-[fanfare]

-Just give me it already.

-[Little Tom grunts]

-[thud]

[Poe] Oh, Bella?

Yoo-hoo.

Whoa!

The second event is the Smack O Lantern.

To win, all you have to do

is roll down the ramp

and knock down the most pins.

Hey, hey, hey.

Oh, sorry. I mean eggplants.

-Oh.

-[eggplants chuckle]

Oh! [laughs]

Ready? Steady?

Go!

[eggplants yell]

[laughs]

One... Nine! Good one, Bobo.

Hmm.

[chattering]

Big Tom, Big Tom, he's our man.

If he can't do it, Little Tom can.

Go!

[groans]

[eggplants scream]

-[pumpkins] Whoo-hoo!

-OK! A perfect ten!

Yay. Hip, hip, hooray!

Get out there and mow 'em down.

-Think round thoughts.

-Be the ball.

Come on, Spookley. It's your turn.

Oh, oh...

[Jack] Go.

[Spookley] Oh! [grunts]

[eggplants laugh]

Keep your chin up, kid.

You're doing great.

He doesn't stand a chance.

[fanfare]

Yee-haw!

[Jack] Bobo wins again.

Big Tom, Little Tom--

Don't tell me... Disqualified.

Sheesh.

-Whoa!

-Hey!

[blows kiss]

Boris?

[strains]

Spookley isn't doing so well, is he?

[both] Aw.

[strains]

-Poor Spookley.

-[sniffs]

This is breaking my heart.

[blows nose]

The final event in our Jack A Lympics,

the Pumpkin Pitch,

is gonna send you sky high. [laughs]

All you have to do is fly through the air

and land in that hole over there.

OK, Bobo, ladies first.

[chant] Five, four, three, two, one.

Look out below, here we come. Yeah!

Wheeeeee!

Piece of cake.

[both yell]

[Big Tom grunts]

[both yell]

[both grunt]

[Big Tom] Probably

we're disqualified again, huh?

[Little Tom] Oh, be quiet.

All right, Spookley.

Looks like you're next.

I don't think I can fly.

That's yam talk. It's all in the mind.

Hey! What's going on?

Whoo!

Abandon pumpkin! Abandon pumpkin!

-[Edgar yells]

-[Spookley] Whoa!

[Spookley] Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[Spookley screams]

[grunts]

[grunts] I think I fell on my stem.

What's a spider got to do

to get some candy around here?

Well done, everybody. Well done.

Now it's time to crown the winner.

The pumpkin who'll be

the pick of the patch this Halloween.

[cheering]

Oh. Now it sure isn't going to be easy.

Everybody did a fine job,

but just let me figure out

what the scores were.

Oh, let's see, three events times ten.

No, whoa. One event worth...

All right, 200 minus 500, that's...

OK, minus ten points for disqualifying,

and that means the winner is... Bobo

with three points.

[fanfare]

[cheering]

-Hmm!

-[groans]

Well, so long, kid.

You were great. Really.

Bobo, baby, you need an agent,

and have I got a spider for you.

And have you got some candy for us.

Do you think Bella likes me?

I mean, likes me likes me?

[Edgar] Poe, come on!

I would just like to thank

all the little people

who helped me get to where I am today.

I would also like to say

that more than anything,

I wish for world peas.

[peas] Yay!

[cheering]

Oh. All right, everybody.

Now we've found the pick of the patch,

let's get this party started.

Hit it, girls.

Nothing to worry about.

[laughs nervously] ...breeze.

[Boris] Oh... Maybe a little rain, too.

[narrator] Halloween was just a day away

when a mighty storm blew across the bay.

It tossed the round pumpkins to and fro.

They'd lose control, then off they'd go.

Bouncing left, slamming right,

banging, bashing, what a sight!

Spookley realized sitting there

it's fine to be round

while the weather is fair,

but there are times

it's better to be a square.

I've got to help Jack.

[narrator] Spookley watched

as the flames of the fire grew near,

looked up at the water tower

and got an idea.

That's it.

[narrator] Spookley knew

what must be done.

It was up to him. He was the one.

[yells]

Uh-oh, this could turn out badly.

Whoa! Who-o-oa!

-Here comes Spookley.

[Spookley yells]

Ah, there goes Spookley.

-You saved our lives, Spookley.

[all cheer]

Spookley, you're the pumpkin!

Well, Spookley.

You're quite the little hero.

Thanks, Jack.

Oh, Little Tom, don't you have

something to say to Spookley?

Well, I guess being round

ain't everything after all.

-It's not?

-I'll say it's not.

Square is definitely in this year.

[inhales]

[all laugh]

Bella?

Boris, would it be so wrong

for a bat to fall in love with a spider?

[buzzing]

-Boris?

-[mumbles]

-Boris?

-[spits]

No more bugs. I promise.

Enough chit-chat.

Let's get this party started.

[door opens then slams shut]

[narrator] Now that

the storm had finally stopped,

Farmer Hill came out

and checked his crop.

He picked the pumpkins up

one by one

to see what damage

the storm had done.

[Farmer Hill]

Well, I'll be! A square pumpkin.

[chuckles] Why, you're the most

amazing thing I've ever seen.

A square pumpkin.

You know what, fella?

You're going right up on my front porch,

right up where everyone can see

just how special you are.

[narrator] And Halloween

was Spookley's night.

Inside him shined a light so bright,

and all the pumpkins loved the sight

and the warmth of his square light.

♪ Look at Spookley, look at him ♪

♪ See the light that shines within ♪

♪ Look at Spookley, look at him ♪

♪ Spookley the square pumpkin ♪

[narrator] Now you know the story

of how Spookley grew.

Maybe someday if you tell someone, too,

they'll go tell someone

who'll go tell another,

and maybe one day, we all will discover,

you can't judge a book

or a pumpkin by its cover.

[spooky voice] Easy.
