Astrid and Lilly Save the World (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - One Rib - full transcript

Everyone does a new "viral" dance and Astrid and Lilly feel excluded, until they learn it's a monster.

-Previously on
Astrid and Lilly Save the World.

-Yeah!
-[Screaming]

-LILLY:
I love us.

-ASTRID:
I love us too, Lils.

-Portals weaken the
architecture of the universe.

-BOTH: It's the monster
-[Evil laughter]

[Sobbing]

-You are about to embark
on a very special journey.

-I can see
through floors, now?

-You're a good friend.

-Do you maybe
want to go out with me?



-Yeah.

-GUARDIAN: I'll need some
recruits for our work.

-That's my specialty.

-You want to play
shitbird?

Let's play.

[Birds singing]

[Woodpecker hammering
in distance]

[Controlled
breathing]

[Leaves rustling]
[Coughing]

-Hello?

I've got mace!

[Dramatic boom]

[Roar]
[Scream]

[Monster] exhales]



-It was one night.

You couldn't
make the commitment.

You know how disappointing
that is?

Youth Group
is good for you!

-Okay.

-I just think that expanding
your social circle

is a good idea.

-My circles
are fine, thanks.

-The least you could do
is try!

-Well, I'm trying not to be late
for school, okay?

Good bye.
Mwah.

[Footsteps receding]

[Door opens]
[Deep sigh]

["Drunk on a Bike"
by SNFU plays through radio]

## Can somebody help me,
please? ##

## I cannot do it
on my own ##

-Me?

[Astrid groans]

-Ugh, save me!

## He was drunk
He was drunk on a bike ##

-I think he really
wants us to come over there.

-Chaz Borkin hasn't talked to us
since eighth grade.

Ugh, he's probably
being a dick somehow.

-Hah.

-Stop!

How dare you look
so radiant right now!

-Oh, yeah,
I know.

Uh! I woke up this morning
and I was, like,

"Do I have super senses
and the power of clear skin?"

-Anything's possible.

I swear, they're gonna make
a movie about us one day.

-Astrid and Lilly:

Saving Humanity

with their Super Cute
and Sexy Super Powers.

[Dramatic music swell]

[Funky
hip-hop music]

Is it a new
dance trend?

[Stammers]

I think they want us
to go over there.

-Why?
To dance with them?

Oh, maybe we should
look it up.

You know,
just in case

anyone wants us for their video,
or something.

-Yeah, yeah, to-totally.
Just in case.

-Yeah.

-Where's Jonas?

-Sit down.

Everybody listen up!

I have something...

really serious
to tell you about Jonas.

[Dramatic music]

He's, uh...

He's gone to L.A.
to be the next Banksy.

-Didn't see
that coming.

-I have his letter here,
his artist's statement.

We'll probably
never see him again

because he'll have to be
forever anonymous.

Secrecy is everything
in street art.

In his absence, though,
I will be taking over

the directorial chair
for the school play,

if anyone cares.
[Astrid sighs]

Now, I don't see
any actor types here,

but tell your
attractive friends.

This year's play
will be better than ever!

Hm.

-She ruins everything.

-Uh.

-All right, honey,
have a good day.

I packed you extra coffee,
just in case.

-Thank you. I feel like
such a zombie.

Oh, by the way, Michelle agreed
to be our godparent,

depending on her schedule.
Isn't that cool?

-Wait, uh...
Hold on.

Depending on
her schedule?

-Well, she's got
a lot going on.

We can't expect her
to just drop everything

and look after our baby.
[Laughing]

-Wait, but isn't that
the whole point of

being a godparent?

You know, I still don't know
why you asked her.

It's not like
we're friends.

-That's how
we become friends.

[Smooch]
-Okay.

-Bye.

[Eerie music]

[Girl sneezes]

-SPARROW:
Hey, Astrid!

You're fast!

-It's how
I evade my enemies.

But not you.
Never you.

-Do you
have a boyfriend?

I j-just saw some-some dude
picking you up the other day.

I didn't know if that was
your boyfriend or something?

-Oh, Brutus?

No! No, no, no.
Oh, my God, no.

Definitely not.

That guy is,
like...

Yeah,
do not worry about it.

I am single.

Very single.

Well, not in a lame way,
like, in a normal way.

'Cause I
am normal.

-Well, since
you're single...

and normal,

do you, uh...

do-do you, do you wanna
go on that date tonight?

-I think I can
clear my schedule.

-I mean, if you're busy,
th-that's fine.

-No!
I'm-I'm joking.

I am not busy.

I'm-I'm, like,
never busy.

Not in a lame way.
In a normal way.

-You are the least normal girl
I know, Astrid.

I'll, uh,
I'll call you tonight.

-Yeah?
Okay.

[Uplifting music]

My God!

-It's really happening!

-I am going on a real date
with a real Sparrow.

[Giggling]

-What are you
gonna do?

-No idea.

-I should bring condoms.
-It's your first date.

-So?

We're young, attractive youth
with palpable sexual tension.

-And I guess
you have been planning

for this to happen
for a long time.

-And I have been planning for
this to happen for a long time.

-How many times do we have to
tell you not to do that?

What if someone
saw you?

-No one saw me!
Ouch!

-So violent.
-What's that?

-This?
Allergy meds.

Something on Earth is making me
really goddamn itchy.

I've got a rash
all the way down to my--

-All right.

[Loud snorting]

-Ahh...
-Brutus! Don't litter.

-You better not be giving us
any monster homework.

Somebody named Astrid
has a date tonight.

-With the bird person?
-Mm-mm.

Well, if you need any ideas
for activities, I'm your guy.

I have a whole list of things
I want to do while I'm on Earth.

-Shoe shopping.
-Mm.

-The laundromat, which I think
is a sort of ride...

and something
called pegging.

Ooh, maybe we could
go together?

Like a little three-way?

-Oh, so much
to unpack there.

-No-no, thank you.
-Hm.

-Oh, wait, so, there's
no monster to look out for?

-No!

Happy to report
there's been no new breaches,

so I say we take
the night off.

-Ah! No new breaches,
no new breaches!

[Lilly mumbles
excitedly]

-And you...

You enjoy
that date.

I don't know
who the other 36 women are,

but you are definitely
getting a rose tonight.

-Everything on TV
isn't real, Brutus.

-Ha!
Nice try.

Get that rose!

[Astrid stammers]

[Lilly laughs]

-Do-do-do-do-do.

[Breathy groaning]

[Loud bang]

What the hell?!

[Loud bang]
[Tense music]

Okay, you're gonna
get yourself concussed!

[Door opening]
[Chime rings]

Hey, Carla!
It turns out...

can't have enough
of these things.

Frankie Jr. is going through 'em
like lava fire.

-Oh, yeah.

Big congrats, huh?
You two must be over the moon.

-Hey, uh,
you haven't noticed anything

weird going on around here
today, have you?

-Not today.

I thought this place
was crawling with spiders

the other day, but it was just
my dang imagination.

I must need
a vacation.

-Tell me about it.

Hey, would you mind keeping
your eye out for anything?

Some kid just hit his head
off the window out there.

Might be drugs.

And put it
on my tab.

Hey!

[Car starts]

[Tires squeal]

I got a 10-31 on Main.
It's a grey sedan.

They fled
with OTC painkillers.

I couldn't get a read
on the plate.

On that note,
does anybody have

any report on a
strange street drug?

-Shit, you think they're turning
over-the-counter pain meds

into a drug?

-People are acting
pretty crazy around here

and baby painkillers?
That is a narcotic!

-Hey guys:
Drew here thinks

there's a new drug conspiracy
in town!

Yeah, we're not on HBO, man.
Stick to traffic tickets.

-But I--
-That's an order!

[Radio static]

-Small town
know-nothing!

[Car tires screeching]
[Thud and groans]

-DRIVER: Oh, no.

-Are you okay?

-No, no.
No, no.

They stepped out
in front of me.

-Wha--? Whoa, whoa!
[Sneezing]

You shouldn't
be standing on that leg!

Are you
all right?

Wait...

What are
you doing?

[Raspy breathing]

Okay...

Back up!

No drugs, my butt,
Chief!

[Dramatic music swell]

[Intriguing music] -Hm...

Ours is sluggish.

How quickly
is yours spreading?

Yeesh, I wasn't gonna copy you
or anything.

Aw, you got
matching tatts.

Lab partner
bonding thing?

Okay, good talk.

-That's every day
this week.

-There's a lot to see.
It's, uh...

space.

-What about the other students
who want to use the telescope?

You're not leaving
any time for them.

-Where?

[Sighs]

-Look, Eggs...

I'm worried that you're not
experiencing the full range of--

things to experience
in high school.

-No, thank you, I would like to
book the telescope for tonight.

-It'll look good
on your transcript -- diversify!

Auditions for the play
are tonight.

Why not give that
a shot, huh?

-I don't know
how to act.

-Anyone can act.

I'll get Miss Berry
to put aside some books

at the library
for you.

Think of it
as an experiment.

And, also, Michelle asked me
if I could get more students

to audition for the play and
I really want her to like me.

-Okay, I'll, uh, I'll do it,
but only for you.

[Sighs]
-Yes!

-JOCK:
Dorkapalooza sign-up!

-Ass!

-Sorry,
Tate's girlfriend!

-I have a name!

[Sigh]

It's like I wouldn't exist
if I wasn't his girlfriend.

-You didn't have to
say anything.

I'm signing up for set dec.
It is kind of dorkapalooza.

-Honestly, just sign up
for whatever you want.

Screw everyone else.

[Gentle music]

-Hm.

See ya.

[Music turns darker]

-Oh! Good job.

Straight down
to the basement, okay?

Somebody did
her homework.

Oh, Candy,
honey, um...

I am going to be later
than I thought tonight,

but, uh,
guess what?

I've booked us mani-pedis.
[Giggles]

Love you!

-Oh!
-Oh! Good grief, Tom,

don't be so creepy.

-Come on, Big C.
Scripture says

we need to share good things
with one another,

like the old basement chapel,
for example.

I'm getting pretty tired
of running a bake sale

out of my trunk
every weekend.

-Mm. Well, maybe that's
just where the good Lord

intended you sell
your crap, Tom.

In the parking lot.

-What are you doing
down there, anyway?

What's the
big secret?

Secrets are...

## roadblocks ##

## to spirituality. ##

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

[Dramatic music]

-Great One, the supplies
that you requested are here,

so I will...

leave you to rest.

-GUARDIAN:
You seem troubled.

-Oh,

i-it's just
earthly annoyances.

Y-you don't need to
concern yourself.

-Don't lose faith.

If you stay
the course with me,

you'll have all the power
you ever could have wanted.

And you'll find
certain...

annoyances

cease to exist.

-Um...

[Sucks teeth]

I didn't see you
mentioned

anywhere
in the bible.

-Does it matter?

-Can I
make my own title?

-Interesting.

I'm sure
that can be arranged.

[Breathes happily]

[Squelching]

I'll need
a fresh bath.

This is
starting to turn.

[School bell]

-FRICK:
Thank you for asking.

Besides science,
I have to say

my three favorite hobbies
are dessert bars,

finding interesting
Korean food

and improv.
[Laughs]

And speaking of improv--
[Phone buzzes]

Oh, sorry.
Better get this.

Hey! I was just
talking about improv.

-Again?

Hey, you haven't noticed
anything weird

with the students today,
have you?

-Things are always a
little weird, sweetie.

- No, no, I'm worried that
there's a new drug going around.

Earlier, I saw somebody
dance into the street

and they got hit.
They didn't even flinch!

Everywhere I go today,
there's people dancing.

It's like they're
not even there mentally.

I-I-I-it's gotta be
drugs.

-Can you hear that?

About the drugs?

-It's probably
a trend.

People love to dance.

-I don't know.

This is different.

[Gasps]
-Oh, my God.

-ASTRID (VO):
Spidey senses going off.

-So glad you said that.

I just kicked a can of paint
through the art room window.

Everyone's pissed.

-My super-hearing
went off

and I could hear Frick's entire
phone conversation.

-Frickin' whoa.

-The cop thinks people are
acting weird because of drugs.

But that doesn't explain
our powers going off.

Why'd you kick
a can of paint?

-Well, it was
in my way.

I-I didn't think
it would fly across the room!

-And get this:

the cop says that the
drug people were all dancing.

-No, that's just
the stupid new dance trend!

I've actually
been learning the moves.

-Okay, we should confirm
with Brutus, just in case.

If there's a new monster,
I want to button it up quick

'cause I have a boy
to make out with!

-Oh, okay, fine, you're right.
It's more important.

I just got excited
about the dance moves.

You know, it just felt nice
to be a part of something.

-Yeah, you know.
uh.

[Laughs]

Brutus!

Ah, crap.
He's not here.

-He really
needs a phone.

-No, seriously: what could
be more important than this?

[Thumping
energetic music]

-Mm, mm...

-MALE SINGER:
## ...neck tie ##

## I spit on
my shoes ##

## When you're
down in the county ##

## It's not much
you can lose ##

## Can't you see
that I am nothing ##

## Can't you see
that I am your friend ##

[Hearty laughter]

-Okay, so, what clues
do we have besides dancing?

-Oh! We should really teach him
about a garbage can.

-There's nothing
about dancing.

-These are all
in monster language.

-You know,
maybe it is drugs?

Maybe our powers are, like,
malfunctioning or something?

Brutus did warn us
they'd be unreliable.

-Maybe we should
do some more recon,

just to be safe.
Head back to school?

-I can't.
I got that date tonight!

-Oh, right!

Um, okay.
Uh, I'll go solo.

-Well, don't feel like you,
like, have to.

-No, it's okay.

I wanted to watch
the auditions, anyways.

-I don't know how you could
sit through those things.

It's just Valerie
looking for any excuse

to cry on command.

-There's some
nice people.

-Ah, well, just call me
if you see anything.

But...
I might be busy.

-Mm.

-Oh, yes, yes, okay.

-Mm. Sparrow! Oh!

-Bye.

[Laughter]

-Bye, Mom!
I'm not home for dinner!

Expanding my social circle,
like you wanted!

-What?
-Okay, cool. Bye!

## Got my condoms in my heart
And I'm gonna ##

[Dull thud]

Weird.

[Eerie music]

-The tip of the tongue,
the teeth, the lips. The tip of the tongue,
the teeth, the lips.

[Trills]
Ma-ma-ma.

-Listen up!
Director speaking!

So...

you're all here
to audition for a part

in Romeo and Juliet,

a Michelle Knight

Shakespeare collab.

Thank you.

Now, personally,
I'm not a big theater person,

so when I saw Jonas
planned to do Romeo and Juliet,

and not even the Leo version,
I thought,

"No way I'm reading that.
It's old. And long."

-You're not changing the play,
are you?

Because I prepared
specifically for it, so--

-Take a pill, Val, okay, I'm not
changing your precious play.

-Mm-hm.
-I'm adapting it.

I thought I would
take some inspo

from my two weeks abroad
in Australia

and send
Romeo and Juliet

"down unda."

It'll be set
in Australia.

[Tense music]
[Nervous laughter]

-You can't edit
The Bard!

-Okay, enough talking.
Time to warm up!

-Fine.
Zip, zap, zop!

-What? No!

Jumping jacks.
Let's go!

-MALE STUDENT:
What the...? Jumping jacks?

Okay.

-Kinda dusty!

My instrument?

[Jumping sounds]

-Did you get those as, like,
crew bonding things?

Oh, okay. Yeah.
Never mind.

We can, uh,
get to know each other later.

[Light music]

[Thumping

-Whoa, my God!

Suprisingly,
very high-octane.

This place
is the best.

-Mm, yeah.

You're pretty good
on those, huh?

-Oh, thanks. Yeah, I used to
ice skate with my dad.

-Oh.

-Which is, like,
kind of the same thing.

-Cute.
When was that?

-A very
long time ago.

-Thank you.

[Astrid sighs]
-Oh, my God.

[Tense music]

-Brutus?

Sorry,
I thought I saw somebody.

Mm.

Mm. Don't know why,

but crinkle cut
just tastes better.

-You serious?
Wedge is definitely the best.

-You're a wedge man?
-I'm a wedge man.

-I gotta go.
[Sparrow laughs]

So, what kind of fries
does your iguana like?

I mean flies!

-Nice.
Nice.

How'd you know
I have an iguana?

You're not spying on me,
are you, Astrid?

-Wait. You just seem
like an iguana guy.

-Weird?

-Not in, like,
a bad way.

-It's okay, people find
reptiles weird but I like 'em.

They're, like, little monsters,
you know?

They don't really
fit in.

Guess I can relate.

-I get that.

Maybe I'm
an iguana guy, too?

-I don't know if I could
date you if you weren't!

In fact,
it's Philbert

you're really going to
have to be impressing.

-Philbert!?
-Mm. Yeah.

He's a very, very
difficult lizard to win over.

-Wait, his name
is Philbert?

-Yeah, it makes sense
when you meet him, I promise.

Ketchup?

Yeah, ketchup.

-Ketchup.
-Mm-hm.

[Quiet laugh]

-Tonight, I'll be performing
a monologue

as my favorite action movie
character, Dominic Toretto,

from Fast and the Furious.

I never narc'd on nobody!
I never narc'd on nobody!

Put the nitro in there.
[Mouth sound effects]

-Hey, um...

have you seen Tate?

-Uh, no. I-I didn't think
theater was Tate's thing.

-It's not.

He just said
he'd be here, though.

[Mouth sound effects
continue]

-Hopefully you didn't plan
the same monologue as this guy.

[Laughing]

-Yeah, this is
for my family!

-Yep.

-MICHELLE:
Stop!

Who's next?

-BOY: To be or not to be,
That is the question.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind
To suffer the slings and arrows

-I haven't seen you
audition before.

-Uh...
I'm an actor now.

For science.

-Huh?

-It's my
first time.

I've been an actor
for about, um...

Uh, six hours?

-Oh! Okay.

So you're just
starting your journey, then.

You know, it takes, like,
a lifetime of work

to master the...

the craft.

-Really?
-Mm-hm.

-It doesn't seem
that hard.

I-I think
anybody can act.

-MICHELLE:
Next.

-[Light applause]
-Eggs.

I guess
it's my turn now.

[Clears thraot]

[Eggs clears throat]

[Exhales]

Sometime,

shark go away.

Sometime he
don't go away.

[Dramatic music]

Sometimes...

that shark,
he look right into ya.

Right into your eyes.

You know, the thing about
a shark,

he got lifeless eyes.

Black eyes,
like, um...

like a doll's eyes.

When he coming at ya,

it don't even look like
he's livin'...

'til he bites ya.

[Inhales]

-Hm.

[Eggs clears throat]

Uh, Quint.

Jaws.

-Who is this man?

-Ooh, I know this one.

Ow!

Oh, sorry.
I-I-I can get it.

Ooh! Ow!

[Groans]

Ohh,

it is a monster thing.

-Look out!
-[Dancer sneezes]

It's contagious?!

Astrid?
Uh, sorry if you're busy.

["A Little Bit Closer"
by Babygirl plays]

[Laughing]

-Mm,
you look good.

-Thank you.
Yeah.

-SPARROW: Whuh.
-ASTRID: Whoa.

-You're kind of
awesome.

-Um...
[Laughs]

Yeah,
so are you.

## You could
start a fire ##

## With the tip
of your tongue ##

## Ah-ah ##

[Astrid laughs]

## But I'd rather
burn forever ##

## Than to never
fly close to the sun ##

## Ah-ah ##

## I need to get
a little bit closer ##

## Just a little bit
closer to you ##

## Let's try to make it,
Try to make it ##

-That, um,
was really--

Ah!!

-Shit!
-Are you okay?

-Oh, my God!
Uh.

Hey,
watch where you're going!

[Coughing]

[Sneeze]

[Eerie music]

That dance.

-Is this a flash mob?

-Oh, no.
Oh, no.

Uh.
We need to leave.

-Like, right now.
-Wait, wait. What?

-Yeah. I forgot, um,
I have um...

I have to meet Lilly at school.
Like, right now!

-You don't have to meet Lilly.
-I'm so sorry.

-Okay, go home!
Like, right now!

-Astrid!

What?

[Yelling] [Panicked breathing]

-You, go in there!
Please.

You, please don't
sneeze on me!

[Dramatic music]

[Sneeze]

-Oh! Gesundheit.

-[Applause]
-MICHELLE: Up next...

-Told you it was dusty.
[Snorts]

-Valerie.

[Valerie
clears her throat]

[Sigh]

[Creepy music]

[Scoffs]

-I thought
she was supposed to be good?

Is this
interpretive?

What am I
watching?

Oh, my God.

-Oh, shit!
Val!

Ow.
[Groan]

Go on! Git!
Git, git. Go on!

Uh!
I'm not auditioning!

This is not
an audition.

Come on.
Shoo, shoo...

-I know, but...

you said
you'd come.

[Door closing]

I'm not saying that soccer's
less important, I just--

-Ha, ho, whoo.

-Well, it is to me.

[Astrid grunts
and groans]

Yeah.

Okay.

-Sorry, I was just--

-Oh, it-it's fine.
Um...

Tate never showed up.

-Oh, sorry.

-He doesn't--

He doesn't really get
that this is important to me.

You know, even though
I told him, like...

like a million times.

-Mm.

[Gentle music]

-Whatever. Um--

-No, he's your boyfriend.
He should support you.

-I don't think
he got the memo.

[Astrid laughs]

I just get so sick of his shit,
you know? But...

But it's Tate.

Now, I can't
not be with him.

You know, we're meant
to be together.

everyone says so.

You know, we're supposed to be
this perfect couple.

-Look, screw
everyone else, remember?

You don't need Tate.

You're gonna
nail it.

-Thanks.

Why do you
have a broom?

-Oh, it's a prop.

[Light applause
in distance]

Do me a favor?

Don't get
sneezed on, okay?

-Sure.

So, before you come back here
with another lame-ass offer,

I want you
to think real hard

about what your spine is worth,
Mr. Walker.

Or-or-or what you might expect
someone to pay you

for a uterus,
Miss Sanchez.

And then you take out
your calculator,

then you multiply that number
by 100.

Anything less than that
is a waste of our time!

Erin Brockovich.

[Hearty applause]

-Well, honestly,
I'd make a better Juliet,

but, fine...

[Sucks teeth]

-Uh.

-Okay, what took you
so long?

-Sorry!
Candace was auditioning.

-Ew. Did she suck?
Ah, who cares?

-Um, where's Sparrow?

-I had to cut
the roller rink short.

Fingers crossed
he's not mad at me.

-Okay. Look for sneezing.
That's how it's spreading.

-Okay.

-Well, I did my best to
quarantine the school.

-Oh! Remember Chaz Borkin?
-Mm-hm.

-My mom told me he danced
into his lawnmower.

He lost a foot!

-What?!
-Yes!

Oh, my God, we need to find
and kill this thing

before it infects
the whole town!

-Or us.
Into the lawn mower?

-Mm-hm.
-Ahh.

-Oh, okay, here.
-What?

-Three noses
sneeze attack.

-Ah, it's not really
a sneeze attack.

I-i-it's the whole, you know,
dancing thing.

-Okay!

-Sorry.
Umm....

Okay, uh,
what about this?

Jzzxxshh?

Says it causes
fast-spreading personality loss.

Victims take on attributes
and actions of the monster.

It's like the zombie copy cats.
Zopy cats!

-That would explain
the brainless

Night of the
Living Dance vibes.

Honestly, I'm pissed
at this Jzzz...

Jsz-xhsh.

What the--
Whatever it is!

'Cause it ruined
my date.

-Yep,
you're right.

Not cool.
Let's go kick its ass.

[Inspirational music]

I'll check Brutus's
one more time.

-I'll get supplies.

Okay.

Let's see...

Yes.
Okay, good.

Extra large. Great!

One, two of them,
I guess.

What do I need?
What do I need?

Sure.

Incredible.
Okay.

-Ah-ha!

Doing some shopping?

Hazmat suits.
Gloves.

What's next?
Baby painkillers?

-I'm not involved
in any drug thing, Officer!

-Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!

Who said
anything about drugs?

[Scoffs]

You know more
than you let on.

-Yeah, I don't!

I was in Frick's class
when you were talking about it

and I'm just--

[Glass breaking]

What was that?

[Lights power down]

[Tense music]

Oh,
they're inside.

[Groan]

-No, Carla.

You too?

-Okay, um,
take these! And, uh, this!

And don't touch
any of the zo-- Drug people.

-Is there
a contact high?

I had a feeling something
like this was spreading.

-Yes, defs that.
-Yeah.

[Calming breath]
-Ready?

[Edgy music]

[Non-verbal sounds,
exclamations]

No, Regina, get away,
get away, get away!

You get--
Get outta here!

I wanted to be asked
to join things,

but not like this!

Get out of my

waaaay!

Drew, go.
Come on!

[Groan]

-GUARDIAN:
You have joined together

in service

of something
bigger than you, now.

[Exhale]

Together

we will do...

unimaginable things.

-Oh, hey!

I'm back!

No sign of Brutus,
though.

-I thought we bonded
back there!

I totally
saved your ass!

-The teamwork, that was great,
but you're still under arrest.

-BOTH:
For what?!

-For whatever the hell
is going on here!

-What happened?

-We ran into
a bunch of zopy cats!

-What? Oh.
-But I did get supplies.

-I've apprehended a suspect

in the potential
drug ring

and I'm bringing her in.

-CAPTAIN: Drew, there ain't
a drug ring!

This is Coppers Cove,

not some
true crime docuseries.

-Respectfully,
I think I'm onto something.

[Radio squelch]
[Captain sighs]

-Not good enough,
Sherlock.

Last thing we need
is another lawsuit.

Let her go!

[Astrid sniffs
several times]

-Mmm...
-Did it get you?

-Mm-mm.

-Hm.

What is that?

Pill capsule?

-I saw one
at the roller rink.

-From Brutus?

-Hey, Officer,
where'd you find that thing?

-This?
Coppers Park.

They're littered
all over the place.

I thought it had
something to do with the drugs.

Why? What do you
know about it?

-Nothing.

-Fine.

Well, I guess
I gotta let you go.

[Flaps lips]

-Did Brutus have Coppers Park
on his to-do list?

[Frustrated groan]

-Hey, I-I think we
look pretty badass.

[Both laugh]

-Oh! Lilly, look.
-What?

-Oh!

Oh, my God.
My nose is going crazy.

[Sigh]

-What if we follow these
and it leads us to Brutus?

-Oh, I hope not

because I'm so ready
to kick Jsszh's ass!

-Yeah.

[Groans]

Oh!

Oh, my God.

-Come on.
We gotta go.

[Astrid groans]

Okay.

-Oh, oh my...

[Gags]

Oh, stupid...

-I'm trying
to find one.

Hold up.

[Twig breaking;
leaves rustling]

[Loud throaty moans]
[Tense music]

[Screams]
[Thud]

-Oww!
Stop!

God, why is everyone
so unhelpful around here?

[Throaty inhale;
coughing]

[Sniffling]

[Groaning]
[Burp]

[Retching]

-Ahh!
-Ooh.

Damn allergies!

[Gasping]

Oh...

[Wet burp]

-Oh, my God,
It has allergies.

The-the sneezing
and the-the dancing...

It's allergies!

-It's allergies!
Of course, God!

-No wonder
the infection's spreading.

Look at him!

-Okay, we need to get
him before he gets us.

-What? What are you
talking about?

I don't want
to get you!

-You don't want to kill us?
-No!

I don't even
want to be here!

I was walking along
and I fell in this portal hole.

I remember I came out
somewhere around these things.

I-I-I am so
allergic to these!

How do you live like this?

[Snorts]
[Coughs]

-This dickatron
with allergies

turned everyone
into zombies

and ruined my date!

-I'm sorry.
I'm sorry!

I don't want to infect anyone.
I just...

I just
wanna go home.

-We can get you there.

We just need
one thing first.

What part
do we need?

-His rib.

[Dramatic music swell]

-Our bones grow back
in a couple of days.It's kind of crazy.

Super painful,
but, uh,

the good kind of pain,
you know?

-LILLY: Goggles?
-ASTRID: Check.

-Call me Josh, by the way,
and mind the face.

Kinda swollen.

I'm actually quite the looker
back home.

-Hm.
-Shears?

-Check.

You ready?

Okay.

-Aaah!!

[Josh starts laughing]

-I'm just
messing with ya.

Here, let me.

[Grunts
and groans]

Ah!

[Squelching]

[Retching]

-Gross.

[Josh breathing heavily]

Whoo...

-Sorry for stabbing
you like that.

-No biggie.
Thanks for your help.

-Think I know my way home now.
-Okay.

-Cannot wait
to clear these sinuses!

[Laughing]

Oh, it's okay.

-Oh, my God.
It was kind of a weird one.

-Guys, I missed one!
There's another monster.

-Yeah, we know.
He just left.

-It was Jzz...

Josh.

Super nice guy,
actually.

-You mean
this guy?

-Damn!

-He was not kidding!
-Mm.

-Listen, team, team...

I'm sorry, okay?

The game went on
extra innings.

I got distracted.

-Hm.

-It's never going
to happen again. I promise.

-You know, it's okay,
actually.

We managed pretty okay
on our own.

-Yeah.

-You're pretty good at this,
you know that?

[Lilly chuckles]

-Oh, wait. What about
all those dancing zombie people?

-Oh, don't worry
about that.

Josh's power is like a cold.
Just sleep it off.

Like I'm
about to.

[Yawns]

I am exhausted!
It has really been a day.

-Okay, let's
take these off.

Like, I can't believe
we didn't see that at first.

-I know,
right?

-Oh, whose audition
sucked the worst?

-Okay, you mean
besides for all the dancing?

Michelle was
losing her mind.

-Ah, yes!

[Astrid laughs]

Some people were actually
kind of surprising, though.

-Hm.

-[Tender music]
-Hm

-So, tell me
about your date.

Details.
[Laughs]

-It was good.

-Uh-huh?

-Okay, we kissed.
-What!?

Oh, my God,
my best friend got kissed!

- That's right. I got kissed!
I got kissed!

-No way!
-Yes, girl!

-MAN IN DISTANCE:
Shut up!

[Laughing]

-I am so stoked
for you!

[Happy sighs]

-Hey, what if we like each other
for real, though?

I don't think
I could handle it.

-Uh...
You'll be fine.

You just stabbed a guy
for his rib.

-Yeah,
you're right.

Ah, God,
we're cool.

-Mm-hm.

-We should get...

-BOTH:
Matching tattoos!

-I was thinking the same thing!
I was thinking the same thing!

-I knew you were.
I knew you were.

-No way!
-Wait!

-What?
-Wait, I have a better idea.

-Hm? Oh!

And down.

Yeah, I know
it's a monster thing,

but I'm
pretty good at it.

-I would say.
What was that again?

-And drop!

No, no, no.
More hips, more hips.

-Okay.
-Like...

-Da-na-na-na-na, and...
[Laughing]

[Tense music]

[Liquid sloshing]

-That's
the last of it.

[Cicadas chirring]

-Another spatial
disturbance.

Weird.

[Knocking on door]

-You have paint
on your face.

-What do you want?

-You left these...

In the rec room.

I thought it was trash
at first,

but then I saw
your name.

Hm.
Still...

[Chuckle]

-You should
keep them.

They're going to be
worth something someday

very soon.

-Ho...

[Door slams]

[Thumping dance music]
