Crazy Fun Park (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - One Of Us - full transcript
As Chester struggles with his grief, he becomes determined to be reunited with Mapplethorpe.
Here, pass guys.
Guys, pass here.
Over here, I'm open.
To me, guys, to me.
Didn't get picked, eh?
I don't care.
What you drawing?
Nothing.
Let me see.
Not very good.
You are not kidding.
Oh.
Sorry, what's it supposed to be?
You wouldn't get it.
Fine.
It's a posse of vampires who sleep
by day but fight crime at night.
Kind of like Galadriel the Immortal?
Yes, exactly like
Galadriel the Immortal.
You know Neville Moore?
He's my favourite.
Zombie Scares From Mars,
best comic ever.
Have you ever played the game?
I'm not good at video games.
But I was the Asphodel Heights
junior go-karting champion
three years running.
So, it's not like I can't do stuff.
That's cool, I guess.
So, you're making a comic?
Yeah, but my pictures blow.
Well, my writing sucks, can I...
So, who is this guy?
Chick Flint,
vampire from the outback,
forced to move to the city
because he's run
out of people to eat.
Does he like the city?
Hates it.
Too noisy, dirty,
all the skyscrapers.
Like this?
This is everything.
Want to get out of here?
What's your name?
Chester.
Mapplethorpe.
Welcome to Crazy Fun Park.
Is it really you?
Oh, hey. It's OK.
Yeah, you really, uh,
really scared me.
Yeah.
We got you good.
Who do we have here?
He's cool, I got him.
He's seen us, Maggot Boy.
He can keep a secret.
Can't you?
I-I-I don't know
what's going on.
Am I dead?
No.
No. But we are.
You're all...
Been six feet under since '79.
Nimrod?
'84.
'99.
'97.
How, but, I mean, that's...
Rod, show him.
No, no, no.
Thank you, thank you,
just back down, back...
The park claims who it claims.
Name?
Chester.
Fester?
Chester.
That's what I said, Fester.
Here's how it works, Fester...
..this place...
..this is our home.
And we don't really want the living
messing with our home.
I mean, how do we know
that you're not going to mess
with our standard of living...
..so to speak.
He's cool.
Yeah, right?
Right?
Chester, tell him you're cool.
Who's up for paintball?
Yeah. Paintball?
I'm not gonna tell anyone.
Mm. Promises are easily broken.
And the living
can be very disappointing.
Come on, Remus,
he could be useful.
Exactly.
He can bring us more food.
You guys were complaining
about the lack of variety.
I miss sausage rolls, I think.
Shouldn't we ask Baba?
Seems fair, right?
Are you ready to learn the truth?
Hey!
Ow.
Get out.
"Get off your high horse,
giddy up, partner,
it's time to ride or die."
I don't get it.
Does it mean I can stay?
Obviously.
Who wants Cheerios, yeah?
Not so fast.
"Get off your high horse."
High horse.
Ah.
High horse.
Huh?
High horse.
Can someone
tell me what's going on?
Yeah.
A video game.
Ready for your worst nightmare?
Get it, knight-mare?
Yeah, I get it. Very ready.
Ready for the rules?
Try to win.
Got it?
Super helpful.
You win, you stay.
You lose, you walka-walka-walka
your way out of here,
you never see any of us every again,
including Maggot Boy.
Come on.
Go!
Go, go!
You're falling behind.
Ride! Come on, ride!
I'm riding, I'm riding.
Why are you stopping? Come on!
I'm not stopping!
Oh, you weren't lying,
you really suck at these things.
Come on, ride faster!
Come on, get that!
Come on!
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Remus rules again.
And you know what that means?
Nice knowing you.
Wait, wait.
See you, homey.
No. Mapplethorpe.
Later, gator.
Come back.
Your mum's not gonna let you
wear a T-shirt, mate.
It's the only black shirt I have.
Why don't you wear one of mine?
They're too big.
We'll just have to make it work.
Here.
Yeah, right.
Kind of looks like
an art smock, doesn't it?
It's alright, you've just
got to try and make it work.
Here.
How you doing?
You OK?
You know, it's normal to feel
scared or...
Dad, I'm fine.
I'm just...
I'm just, I'm so sorry, Ches.
Come here.
Well, um, I'll let you have a moment
and then we'll go, OK?
You two go inside.
I just need to go to the bathroom.
Hope you can hear me...
..if you're still there.
If you were ever really there.
Am I going crazy or did that night
actually happen?
This week's been weird.
Everyone's been super nice to me.
Treating me like, I don't know,
a first edition comic or something.
Handling me
with gloves and tweezers.
I don't know what I'm meant
to do right now.
I can't even finish this.
I don't know what happens next,
and I don't want to know
what happens next
if it's not with you.
He spits fire.
I mean, you always knew exactly
what should happen
and what we should say
and where to look.
So, tell me what happens next.
Because I need you.
So, the Education Department
have decided that every school
needs a "wellbeing" coordinator.
Apparently, being fire warden
isn't enough.
So, it's natural to feel a little
out of sorts when someone...
Moves on?
Yes, thank you.
I remember when my father moved on.
I didn't cry at his funeral.
Wanted to...
..but couldn't.
Maybe there might be some online
resources he can take a look at.
Yes. I'll just bring this up here.
Are you experiencing any or all
of the following emotions -
grief, anger, confusion, curiosity,
disturbed sleep, decreased appetite,
poor school performance,
or physical reactions,
for example, headaches?
It's common to sometimes
have strange dreams.
Honey, is there something
you want to say?
You can ask us anything.
Of course, that's why I'm here.
I've got some literature
that might help.
I know they've brought me
a lot of comfort over the years.
Are you sure there's nothing
you want to ask?
If you were a zombie and,
and you just won a major battle,
what would you say to your slaves?
Because he's in denial,
Connor attempts to make things
appear normal.
This just leads to difficult
situations with his family
because they're attempting
to prepare him for his mother's...
Let's just pick it up at page,
page 137, Yew Trees.
Ah, thank you...
Dad?
Mmm?
How do you know what to say
to comfort people?
I watched my chichioya
and his chichioya before him.
Over a thousand funerals, you know,
we come from a long line
of nokanshi.
Yeah, you may
have mentioned it before.
When I was a boy,
the attitudes were very different.
Some thought we were unclean
and polluted by our work.
That's awful.
Well, people aren't always kind,
especially when they're hurting.
We learnt just let people know
we are there if they need us.
Everyone must deal with their own
feeling in their own way.
And what if they're not...
dealing with it?
Grief is not about death.
It's about change.
The end of what might have been.
You cannot force someone
to make peace with something
if they're not ready.
Hey.
I know you probably don't wanna talk
to me right now, and that's OK.
I just wanted to give you this.
I digitised the photos we took
with Mapplethorpe.
I can't imagine
what you're going through right now,
so you don't have to say anything,
but if you wanna talk, I'm here.
And if you don't, I'm still here
because...he'll only be gone
if you let him go.
The butt tree.
What about our own pride rock?
Rah!
Ambiguous pole.
Hello?
Anybody there?
I want another chance.
Alright.
If you guys don't let me in,
I'll tell everyone you're ghosts
and then people will come
and they'll bust you.
I brought sausage rolls.
You said sausage rolls.
Mmm.
Give me that.
What's in there?
I love these.
Yo.
These are so yum.
Wait up.
So, do all those suckers miss me?
They better not have played
that Green Day song at my funeral.
Um...I didn't go.
Excuse me!
Something more important on?
I was trying to finish this.
What, Zombie Joan!
Couldn't figure out what she'd say.
It's easy.
She'd say, "Sayonara, buzzkills.
Tonight, we leave forever."
And she'd run off into the sunset.
Well, stagger off.
She moves weird, being dead and all.
Of course.
Oh, and before I forget...
..I believe a certain someone
will be missing this.
Mapplethorpe, fixer of lives.
What happened?
I remember
I found the film roll.
I knew how happy you'd be.
And then...
And then?
Accidents happen.
And speaking of bad accidents,
who let you back in, Fester?
He bought us snacks.
Sausage rolls. We don't have them.
It's because you can't eat
because you don't have
a digestive system...
..because you're dead.
Still tastes good but.
I want to race again.
Do you?
Yeah.
Give me another chance.
Why?
Because, because Mapplethorpe's
my friend.
I'm not ready to say goodbye.
OK, Fester.
But this time if you lose,
you don't get to go home...ever.
You sure you want to do this?
A good test of any friendship
is how quickly they speed
to be by your side.
It looks like we feel the need.
The need for speed.
What?
This is a place to go hard
because you can never go home.
You wanna know the rules?
There are none.
The more you risk,
the more alive you'll feel.
Want me to drive?
Nope.
I got this.
It is not safe.
You will get hurt.
You might even cop a few scars.
What's that for?
You'll see.
And I promise you,
embrace the night
and there will be a huge smile
on your face.
Go.
Come on.
Keep any body parts you want to keep
inside the vehicles at all times.
Remus is vain
but Fester is getting antsy.
Come on, we got this, go!
Driver right up our tail.
He's taking those epic turns
like a fever drink
on a hot February night.
Whoa.
He's gaining speed.
Stay down.
Oh.
Wanna give up?
He was Asphodel High's
Junior go-kart champion
three years running.
Is that supposed to impress us?
No, but this was.
Oh!
Off with his head.
Yeah.
And Fester takes the lead.
He passes the finish line.
That tickles.
We have a winner.
It turns out the living kid not
only has a pulse but also a giant...
Can it, Gonzo!
So?
One of us, one of us.
You did it!
I wouldn't be so sure.
Remus doesn't like to lose.
I'd watch my back if I were you.
She loves you.
You a big softie.
# Ever get that feeling
you could go on
# Just remember the side
that you're on
# You've got friends with you
till the end
# If you're ever
in a tough situation
# We'll be there,
no hesitation
# Brotherhood's our rule
we cannot break! #
Got to be out by sunrise.
Why?
What happens if I don't?
Them's the rules.
You'll come back, yeah?
Someone's got to bring you snacks.
Don't forget extra sausage rolls.
Don't skip on the sauce.
The dead must be fed.
Time to die.
Guess you've gotta come back now.
This isn't one of those
too-good-to-be-true dreams.
You miss me that much, huh?
What? No!
Your mom does.
Ah.
You need a better comeback.
We'll be here at sunset.
Every day.
Friends for another day.
Friends for another day.
Come on.
