Danger & Eggs (2015-2017): Season 1, Episode 13 - Chosen Family - full transcript

CHOSEN FAMILY It's the Pride Festival in Chickenpaw Park and D.D. and Phillip's favorite day is interrupted by Captain Banjo of H.A.R.M. blowing everything out of proportion and unleashing a rampaging super weapon that threatens to destroy the park and everyone in it. Gasp.

-[clucks] -♪ A kid, an egg,
a park, they do stuff ♪

MAN: But there's...
there's more to it than that.

♪ It's kind of hard to explain

-Sort of like a... just...
-Ah! Butterflies.

-Kind of, sort of, just,
you know. -Huh?

♪ It's kind of hard to explain

♪ Ah... it's called
"Danger & Eggs."♪



[yawns]
Phillip?

-D.D., pajamas?
-[D.D. snores]

Oh, sleepiness,
you invade my friend.



Her body at your mercy.

Why? Why today?

[laughs]:
Fake sleep.

Wha-pah.

There's no snoozin'
on the funnest day of the year.

Yes.

A day of love, music,
rainbows, glitter.

Smiles and hugs.

You best be ready
for a lot o' hugs.

Try me.

Too tight, too tight.

We'll work up to the mega-hug.
Come on.



Hey, Two Baby Lady, Happy Pride.



-Ice Creamy-Boy, hugs.
-Happy Pride, squirrel.

Good day, abandoned ground cup.

Reina.

Welcome to Full Life Juicery
and Lemonade.

-Hi.
-Hello, there.

Your family looks like art.

That's all Reina.

She's our creative designery
juice bug.

So talented.

I have scrapbook.

[Reina laughs]

-[wailing nearby]
-Oh, hey, Gomez's show.

That direction.

And Marsha's flowers
were placed upon the heads

of the girls who said,
"We are your daughters."

End... of... words.

Cry, audience, cry.

[cheering and applause]

That's my boy.

GOMEZ: Friends,
thank you for watching

the best four seconds
of my show.

Family, these are my friends.

[sighing]:
Hugs.

Well, this is nice.

Nice, is it?

[scoffs] My dads drag me here
every year.

I have work to do.

-[phone beeps]
-Lorie, tell Lydia

to cancel all
of our son's appointments.

He needs to spend time
with his family.

-[phone beeps]
-Lenny, did you get that?

Work with Lorie and Lydia
to stop all business.

-[phone beeps]
-Lydia, patch me into dads.

[echoing]:
Fathers.

If I can't do business,

may I have some
cheesy corn cake?

-Absolutely, son.
-Absolutely, son.

[cheering]

To the band shell.

Feels like pageant time.

Phillip?

[sighs]

Phillip.

If your body is being controlled

by radioactive signals,
blink twice.

No, not that.

I'm still regular me.

It's just that
everyone seems so connected

to their big families.

I only have my dear sweet mom.

Your mom is pretty big.

[clucks]

But I-I know what you mean.

It's just been me and my dad

since I was little,
and he's been distracted.

I have some cousins,
but I don't see 'em a lot.

I don't have cousins.

I think what I'm feeling is...

well, it doesn't feel great.

Yeah, but look
on the bright side,

kind of being alone is why
we get to hang out so much.

I do like that.

Yeah, and it's my hanging out
duty to cheer you up.

We're gonna get
bananas-colorful costumes

and walk-dance
around the festival.

Dressing to impress

and strutting one's stuff
can change a mood.

Okay, let's "move the dial"
on my feelings.

Entrance to the world

of dangerous and terrifying
underground creatures

wrong-way moves the dial
on my feelings.

Come on,
let's get some really wowza,

brighty-boys costume supplies.

Hold my ankles.

I am not participating in...
ankle grab, ankle grab!

-[Phillip groans]
-Well, hello, plants.

No sudden moves.

See? We don't even have to
go all the way down.

Any amount of down is dangerous.

All of your body and half
of mine can be eaten.

Legs, don't come looking for me.

Spend your days running
in the sunshine.

[creatures chittering]

It's just colorful,
dangly ceiling plants.

Not dangerous.

Ow!
[grunts]

Dodge, ooh.

Yikes. Well,

these ones probably
maybe aren't dangerous.

[D.D. grunts]

[gasps]
We must make our way

through the clearly marked exit.

[D.D. and Phillip scream]

[D.D. groans]

We're lucky that was
relatively uneventful.

-Breach event, breach event.
-[siren blares]

The surface has been breached.

It looks to be just a girl
with some plants, Captain?

All breaches are big breaches.
I'll remind you.

You reminded at lunch,
and yesterday.

A giant fly.

This thing could slobber up

every piece of bread
in the city.

-[tentacle snorts]
-Or the pig nose tentacle.

It can crush laundry,
corn tanker trucks, our bones.

I'll remind you what happened
to my poor dog, Banjo.

No. I know.

Banjo got scared.

One of those "just some plants"
scared my baby-doggie.

Banjo has to eat special food
for scared dogs.

Scared has got to stop.

See? This is a not-scared,
down-to-earth park.

How it should be.

When underground things
breach the surface,

the threat to the park

-goes over the top.
-[computer powers up]

[Captain Banjo groans]

I may be forced
to unleash the weapon.

[gulps]

♪ Yeah, walk, walk, walk

♪ Walk, walk, walk-a, walk.

Wasn't me.

It was my amazing costume
Reina made.

Your costumes are great.
I like to see them.

-Thank you. Oh.
-MAN: It's the mayor.

-What? The mayor.
-The mayor.

Thank you for those
beautiful harmonies.

You've given us all a lot
to think about.

Now, you know we have

a very special,
first-year guest today.

-Please welcome, Zadie.
-[cheering and applause]

Hi.

I wrote this song

about my first day of school
as my authentic self.

-I'm nervous.
-Get it, girl.

♪ I'm a new girl at school

♪ That doesn't mean
you don't know me ♪

[siren blares]

[siren blaring]

[siren blares
in time with music]

♪ Let's reacquaint ourselves

♪ Now that I'm singing
so out loud ♪

♪ I'd love to have friendships
strong and proud ♪

♪ It's the same ol' me

♪ It's the same ol' school

♪ Just the girl

♪ Who's new

♪ To you.

Thank you.

I'm so happy to be loved
for who I am.

Thank you, community, friends,
my chosen family.

"Chosen family"?

Thank you, Zadie.

Now, welcome Ms. Haute Dog.



-Hello.
-Oh, hi.

Wonderful song.

-Not one rhyme was ridiculous.
-[camera snaps]

But what did you mean by
"chosen family"?

Chosen family is...

you just have, like,
a really close friend

who loves and supports you
as much as family would.

Sometimes more than
some families would.

Not sure if you have people
like that, uh...

Phillip. And yes.

I do.

Hey, great song.

I want to write a song like that
about toothless flying sharks.

It's called "Flap, Flap, Drool."

We should collab.

And your outfits... wow.

We have more stuff.
We can make you one, too.

Let's do that.

Quick and whispery, people.

Let's contain some dog scarers.

[Banjo whines]

Should I go more bird
or butterfly?

Bird, not butterfly.

And watch out
for the squiggle roots,

although they seem safe
and mostly tap shoulders.

Yes?

-Huh? What?
-Huh?

-Okay. Over here?
-Who?

-Hey. Or, no. Over here.
-Hey. Who's there?

-Okay.
-No one's there.

Ooh, they also love lemonade.

Look.

[Reina giggles]

[all gasp]

What are you doing?

These could take over
this whole place.

Give me that yellow
grow 'em formula.

Hey, that's my friend's drink.

[groans]
H.A.R.M.'s property now.

Guards, it's resisting.

Get underground stuff
underground.

[grunts]
Hold on.

Hold up, Captain.
What do you think you're doing

-during a peaceful festival
of love? -[grunts] Okay.

Ow. [grunts]

Look here, Mayor, civilians.

You probably noticed things
in this park

that are kind of
hard to explain.

-Nope.
-Uh, not really.

-Never. -STARING GIRL:
I keep getting tapped

on the shoulder by clothing.

Yes. It's time
stuff like that ended.

There's mutated creatures
from an underground lab

that have been contained
for 50 years,

but now they want to invade.

-Underground lab?
-[gasps] Oh, no.

-I have kids.
-Oh, right.

That big tentacle that came out
the chili hole.

We must make everything
that starts underground

stay underground.

For good.

For our safety.

-I do love safety.
-My friend loves safety.

-Agree. Put 'em underground.
-Yeah, put 'em back underground.

Me again. Just a reminder,
I have kids.

Well, if everyone thinks
there's a problem,

I suppose we should address it.

Good.
There are still two breaches.

Giant Chicken,

and Son of Giant Chicken.

Mom? Me?

Phillip is not scary.

-No offense, Phillip.
-None taken.

Though, I didn't wash my hands
for almost an entire day once.

Who knows what terrible things
were growing.

CAPTAIN BANJO:
You and your hands

-need to get into the hole.
-Whoa, whoa.

When you were talking
about mutated creatures,

we did not know
you meant Phillip.

-We know Phillip.
-We love Phillip.

I have kids.
They like Phillip.

I like Phillip.

Yeah. You'll have
to go through me!

D.D., everyone, no.

-I should go underground.
-ALL [gasping]: What?

I've known where my mom
came from for quite some time.

And while I do love
my "chosen family,"

I've been thinking a lot
about finding my family

"assigned at birth."

Phillip, what are you saying?

I think I'm saying
I need to be brave.

This is a good time
to start looking.

The nets, threatening tones,
the armored vehicles...

but also, I want to go,
at least for a while.

Uh...

Give me your strongest hug,
if you'd like.

I can take it.

Too tight?

Just right.

Good.
Now that chicken, too.

We're gonna need to stretch it,
or squeeze it,

or smush it.

echoes:
Hello.

My name is Phillip,

and I'm here to meet
and also greet.

Anyone?

Family outweighs fear,
family outweighs fear.

[creatures chittering]

I do not understand
what I'm hearing.

This is Mom.

Maybe your mom-zez
are her sister,

a childhood acquaintance, a...

-[tentacle snorts]
-[Phillip screams]

Never mind.
Fool's errand.

-Emergency exiting.
-[tentacle roaring]

[screams]

-[muffled roar]
-Whoa.

I'm getting Phillip
out of there now.

Nothing in or out
except Giant Chicken in.

Nope.

She won't squish smaller,
Captain.

She's not going in,

and Phillip can come out

and live wherever he wants.

His mom, Antarctica,

the shell
of a kindly space turtle,

Yuma, Arizona,
or a big soft cloud.

Right. My ancestors
have not always been able

to live where they want.

This is not happening
with me in charge.

Girls like me
stand up to injustice.

-Uh-huh. -H.A.R.M. guards,
remove these people.

Make friendly faces

so they like you.

-[tentacle snorts]
-[screams] Why?

I know there is no resemblance,
but we are potentially related.

Distant... [grunts]
perhaps 70th cousins.

Oh.

[sobs]
I've made a mistake.

Good-bye, Phillip. You tried.

You've always self-improved.

Poseidon, Universe,

Ice Cream Boy. I...

Mom?

You? Us?

[grunts] Crushing.

So tight. So tight!

Wait, are you hugging me?

Well, this is unexpected,
but nice.

D.D. would love this.

Back down, H.A.R.M.

We love Phillip!

He lifted me up
when I needed to fly.

Actors must fly.

[grunts] I'm fine.

Without Phil, I would have
made this park a mess

and regretted it.

Phillip helps me
when I don't have ideas

for crafts with radishes.

Radish wind chimes.

Radish bracelet.

Radish glued to a radish.

-Philip, alive!
-[crowd cheers]

And the George Washington Carver
of radishes.

Honored, D.D.

And you will not believe
who I hugged...

[shrieks] Breach, breach.

Push him back down.

Uh, seems like
people like the egg.

Phillip, no threat.

I think... yep.

We respectfully
disobey your command, Captain.

-GUARDS: Hup.
-[scoffs]

How dare you. You know
what an underground creature

did to my dog.

Scared it a little.

-Dogs love Phillip.
-[Banjo barks]

A little scared?

This egg must be
infecting your minds.

[gasps] It's an invasion.

The threat level
is officially over the top.

-[siren wailing]
-I have no choice

but to release The Scrambler.

-[machine beeps]
-[siren stops]

Ooh!

[The Scrambler whirs]

[gasps]

[all screaming]

Civilians of Chickenpaw Park,

I am not here for you.

I am here to turn

the underground creatures
into mulch

once and for all.

[screams]

Mayor. Peaceful resistance?

Captain's mind's not right.
The Scrambler's not stopping.

There's nothing peaceful here.

I've prepared
festival emergency routes.

Ducks, dogs, raccoons,

-squirrels, frogs, corn guy...
-[screams] I'm the corn guy.

I've been practicing
springing into action.

Friends, we must evacuate

every living creature
from Chickenpaw Park.

-[crew grunting]
-[geese honking]

I know you wanted to fight,
but it's safer here.

Who's rescuing who?

CHILD [voice-over]:
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy.

Roar!

-[panting]
-[cat meows]

[inhaler puffs]
Might be allergic.

I'm saving pigeons.

[panting]

Well done, son.

Our son is brave.

[screams]

I think that's everything
in your evacuation plan.

[gasps]

Butterflies.

[groans]

Butterflies, I call a truce.

There is an even greater enemy
at our door.

[screams]

[shivers]

We'll be safe in the city.

We got to stop that thing
before it gets to Phillip's mom.

Mom, please.

-Get up. Run!
-[clucks]

I've never seen her get up.

Think, Phillip.

Huh? What?
You got away earlier,

you little rebel
leafy escape boy.

[plant coughs]

This plant
is clearly distressed.

Must check pulse. Um...

Ooh, ooh. Look up,
"Do plants have wrists?"

"Plant injury information
incomplete."

Medical attention has failed me.

Oh, maybe a little lemonade.

Wait, that's danger.

Girl versus plant.

It's finally time!

No. It's heading back
to its home.

Yes, its family.

Our family.

[gasps] We have to evacuate

-the underground, too. -Phillip
and I have been down there.

We'll go.
Get these animals to shelter.

PHILLIP:
Oh!

[Phillip grunts]

We're here to help.

D.D., I have a shared history
with these creatures.

Some might say
they're "kinfolk."

-They're friendly.
-[screams]

D.D.! I spoke too soon.

Why, mouth, why?

D.D.:
All good.

Aw, leafy costume missed me.

We're pretty great together.

PHILLIP:
Huh? [grunts]

Let's strut our stuff.

[clucks]

I'm not playing chicken,
chicken.

I'm coming through.

This will squish you.

[Captain Banjo screams]

[creatures exclaim]

We won't get them out in time.

That one and that one
and that one and that one

are too big
to even fit through the hole.

You be you.
Love your enormity.

We'll make our own hole.

Keep off the grass. Scrambler,
fountain, stalactites,

that puts Mom... there.

D.D., mark that spot.

Oh, yeah!

[grunts]

Uh! Got it!

Okay, cousins?

Book, ceiling.

We work together
to make an emergency exit.

The most tender and devoted
of passageways.

-[shrieks]
-We come together, like a...

Mega-hug.

[creatures chittering]

[rumbling]

CAPTAIN BANJO:
You're mulch, chicken.

Close your eyes, Banjo, honey.

[clucks]

D.D.:
Oh, yeah!

-[screeching]
-Ah!

[grunts, whimpers]

CAPTAIN BANJO:
Fine, critters.

I can grind y'all up
wherever you are.

Ha-ha.

Like bugs on a windshield.

Hello! You may remember me;
I'm Phillip.

And I'm here to ask you politely

to please turn off
this rampaging super weapon.

When it's done doing
it's job of... scrambling.

This is all for you, Banjo.

[whimpers]

Everyone, attack The Scrambler.

It is... not good.

[creatures chittering]

[fly buzzes]

I'm coming!

Phillip, take my hand.

[yells]

Uh!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Reina's stand?

[coughs, sighs]

[screams]

[cluck echoes]

Thanks for getting up today,
Mom.



D.D., you remembered.

Hydration prevents
dizziness, confusion,

and massages cellular growth.

Or I thought this grumpy thing
could use a costume.

Yes! Welcome to Full Life
Juicery and Lemonade.

[clucks]

Mom, please.

Back away.

D.D.:
Look out!

[grunts]

[metal scrapes]

[creature shrieks]

D.D., you're amazing!

D.D.:
Yeah, I've been training myself

at being amazing
in front of the bathroom mirror.

-[alarm blaring]
-[creatures shrieking]

[buzzes]

-[Banjo whimpering]
-No, baby, we're flying.

Oh!

-Whoa. [chuckles] Whoa.
-[D.D. chuckles]

You dog-napped my baby.

I will rescue you, Banjo!

I'm gonna need a bigger weapon.

You can have your dog back!

I think she may be
misunderstanding

what's happening here.

Some people don't get things.

Hey, city,
the festival is unharmed.

How about we get back to it?

[all laughing and cheering]

MAN:
Rainbows!



[creature chuckles]

[bats squeal]

Ooh, ah, ah, ah.

[man laughs]

[chittering]

[clucks]

[pig grumbles]

Huh.

Dad! Hugs?!

[muffled yelling]

[D.D. gasps]

Aw, I'm okay, Dad.

Mm-hmm?

D.D. and Phillip,
you've done so well, as always.

Do you have any idea how to
get these wonderful beings

back underground?

We're here to help, but...

We were thinking
maybe these things

should be allowed to find
where they belong,

like how Phillip and his mom
found this fountain.

Or how I found
these new friends.

Maybe some of these things
can fit in,

wherever they end up.

[rat snarling]

Uh... probably not that thing.

All of them deserve to find
their chosen family.

It's a wonderful thing.

[egg struggling]

Wait, one of them is struggling
to fit in with the fountain.

GREEN EGG:
I'm here for help.

Oh, ha.

I've stuck been
under chicken for years.

My legs wobbly... are?

This one talks?

Talks and...

yes, I certainly
see a resemblance.

I... I'm your...

-brother?
