DuckTales (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 12 - They Put a Moonlander on the Earth! - full transcript

When Penumbra begins feeling homesick, Webby sets out to prove to her that Earth can be just as fun, by riding Glomgold's newest gift to Duckburg, the suspicious Flintferris Glomwheel.

Hey, guys!

Guys?

Guys? Ugh!

Come on, where is everybody?

Ow!

Rotten Earth gravity.

‐Hi, Penny! ‐Ah!

Oh, Small Della.

You shouldn't sneak up
on a Moon Warrior.

Do you want something?

No, I definitely wouldn't want



to hang out with
and/or swap battle techniques

with the super‐cool alien
war hero living in our backyard.

Pfft, that's crazy.

And you're obviously
too busy, right?

Yes, building a ship
so my Moonlanders and I

can return to our vastly
superior Planet Moon.

Oh, sure.

I've got a lot going on too.

Oh, there you guys are.

What's the plan for today?

Ottoman Empire.

Again? But you've seen
this episode already.

I like knowing how it ends.

It's comforting.



Hm.

Come on, let's get out there.

We could catch caterpillars.

In their cocoons, they literally
melt into butterflies.

Nature fun!

Hi, I'm TV's Glomgold.

You may remember me
as Earth's greatest hero!

You're probably thinking,
that handsome lion heart

couldn't possibly give
the people of Duckburg any more.

Wrong again!

From the visionary mind

that brought you
the Glomcoaster, behold:

the FlintFerris Glomwheel!

Unveiling tonight
at Duckburg Pier.

Hm. On the one hand,
it's Glomgold.

But on the other hand,
giant Ferris wheel.

What do you think, Dewey?

I remember when
the Glomcoaster opened.

I waited all morning,

but I let a kid, Timmy Jenkins,
go ahead of me.

The track broke,
and he was stuck for hours.

It was national news
on every channel.

And as I watched him
tell his horrifying story

on a dozen different
talk shows, I thought...

that should have been me
up there!

Well, not today, Timmy Jenkins.

Today is Dewey's Dew‐saster day.

Whoo‐hoo! What could go wrong?

Hopefully everything!

‐Hey, best friend! ‐

Hello, best friend.

Just like old times.

Except it's you building
the rocket in my backyard.

Ha‐ha. Need a hand?

Ah, yes. Thank you, Della.

You know, Penny,
you don't have to leave.

You haven't even experienced
any of Earth yet.

Not true. I went out
for Earth coffee.

Out? Like a date?

With who?

So...

...do you get Darkwing Duck

on the Moon?

‐Or... ‐This is terrible.

Hm?

Launchpad?

More evidence that my focus
should be here

building this ship...

...not exploring your planet.

Or maybe you're just
a teeny‐weeny bit scared

of trying new things?

I am not scared of‐‐

Ah. An Earth joke.

Oh!

Yeah.

Ha. That's very funny,

because, obviously,
I fear nothing.

‐ Mom! ‐Ow!

Can I go ride a death wheel
at the pier so I can be famous?

Sounds awesome.
Oh, why don't you take Penny?

Maybe teach her a little
Earth fun, eh?

Teaching the Moon's greatest
warrior about Earth fun?

‐Whee! ‐

You're going to love it!

We'll walk the pier,
play games, eat hamburgers!

I'm sorry, Small Della,
but I can't.

I have a very important meeting
with my fellow Moonlanders

to discuss our imminent
departure.

What do you mean
you want to stay?

Oh, Penumbra,
Earth is just wonderful.

Who would have thought

failing to knock the Earth
out of orbit

would be the best thing
that ever happened to us?

But what about the Moon?

What about me,
protecting you all

from giant arachnids and‐‐?

Oh, all that was great,

but we're having a real
barrel of monkeys here.

A...?

It's Earth speak for "fun."

Ah, but it is not all frivolity.

I have an important job
working for Flintheart Glomgold,

the hero of Earth.

Why, he told me that he
single‐handedly saved the planet

from Lunaris and his terrible
Moon scum.

Gibbous, we're the Moon scum.

And I stopped Lunaris.

Ha! Penumbra.

I'm so sorry,
but I don't think a hero

like Flintheart Glomgold
would lie, do you?

Okay. Fine.

The rest of my loyal Moonlanders
and I can go home, then.

But, Penumbra, everyone else
is having a wonderful time too.

Why just the other day
at Palus' party‐‐ Oh!

Party?

Palus hosted
a fun‐tastic Earth party,

with yo‐yos and festive springs
and other Earth stuff.

It was... well,
it was fun‐tastic.

Why did no one tell me
of this party?

Well... because...

You hate Earth fun.

I don't hate Earth fun.

I just prefer Moon
"fight and destroy my enemies."

Oh, look at the time, will you?

That's an Earth expression for,
"I want to leave now."

Let's go, Good Boy.

Penumbra, we all want
nothing more

than for you to experience the
wonders of Earth ways with us.

But we understand
if you're afraid‐‐

Uh, if you don't want to.

Come on, Webby, I'm going to be
local‐news famous‐‐

‐ ‐

I must conquer Earth fun.

Yay!

Why, who is that handsome man?

Why, it's you, sir.

Good answer, Martian.

You are so much better
than my last assistant.

With Owlson it was always,
"No, it's too dangerous.

For the last time,
I'm not your assistant."

But you respect the genius
of Earth's greatest hero,

don't you, Martian?

‐I am actually from the Moon. ‐

Oh, Mars is nice.

And now, I am finally
going to give this town

what it really needs.

Sir, you are just...

just so giving.

I need you to make sure
nothing goes wrong tonight.

Can I count on you, Martian?

Yes, sir!

Earth fun, lesson one:

the best way to ride in a limo.

Without my helmet,
I am completely vulnerable

to attack up here.

Why is this fun?

You're letting your hair
blow in the wind.

Try shouting, like this.

Whoo!

Aah! Don't even think
of attacking my exposed head!

‐ ‐

Okay, what do you think
of my new look for the news?

I'm going for traumatized,
but not so traumatized

I can't do multiple interviews.

‐ ‐Launchpad!

Dewey, can I ask you
a best‐friend question?

Uh, sure.

Penumbra and I got coffee,
and it was so bad.

She and I should never date.

But now I don't know how
I'm supposed to act around her.

Do I ignore her? Is that mean?
Am I supposed to be mean?

Dewey, am I her archenemy now?

I don't know.

I mean, she's pretty hard
to read.

You will not defeat me,
winged Earth beast!

It's a full attack!

Do you think she's mad that
I'm driving her to this thing?

Should I drive slower?
Should you drive?

LP, why don't you just
talk to her?

Yes. Thank you, wise Dewey.

Launchpad, wait. Not now!

Penumbra, should I drive slower?

Or would you rather
one of the kids drive?

Oh, jeez, you're right.
I should just leave. I'm sorry.

Whoa!

‐We've lost the pilot! ‐

Aw, LP, you definitely should
have just kept driving the limo.

This seat belt will be
the death of us all.

Penny, we need to stop the limo!

If this wheeled monstrosity
must be slain,

then I shall slay it.

No! Use the brakes!

All right, limo.

Let's see you best
the Moon's greatest‐‐

Curse this terrible
Earth gravity.

Yay! Earth Fun, right?

Right. Monkey barrels.

‐ ‐

Behold!

Oh, my craters.

It's smiling.

Delightful!

I think that will really
blow them away.

‐ ‐What am I supposed to do

with all these extra parts?

Ah, throw them in one
of the Glomdolas.

Sir, this truly is a marvel.

But are all these parts
not necessary for safety?

Safety. Right.

I guess you'd better
"call the safety inspector."

‐ ‐Yes.

Yes, I shall definitely
"call the safety inspector."

Oh, that's why I love you,
Martian.

‐ ‐Oi! Don't take that down!

It's supposed to have spikes!

Hello, safety inspector
ha‐ha‐ha‐ha?

We got to get to the Glomwheel.

I will not be Timmy Jenkinsed

out of my spot in line
and the nation's hearts.

Dewey, we're here to show Penny
a good time.

And as your Earth fun teacher,

I made a list of everything
we should try.

Oh, like this.

This statue is very
poorly constructed.

I question the choice
to make it out of...

‐flesh? ‐

‐Why, thank you. ‐Ah!

Deceptive flesh robot!

Oh, right, right, right.

Okay, don't startle
the bloodthirsty alien soldier.

That's on me. On with the list.

‐ ‐

I hate this. I hate this.
I hate this. I hate this.

It's okay. Let go.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Who would be afraid of stupid‐‐?

Whoa!

‐ ‐Oh.

I didn't know you were
coming out here too.

What Earth psychopath decided
to put wheels on feet?

Man, we've tried everything.

I have one more thing
no one can resist.

Webby, we all want
to help, but‐‐

Wait a second.
Is that Timmy Jenkins?

I got to get in line.

Well, this has been
a very enlightening lesson

on Earth fun.

But now I think you should
take me back to the hangar.

Aw, don't give up.

I'm not giving up.
I have learned that I was right

and the other Moonlanders were
wrong, and Earth is the worst,

‐and I'm ready to leave.
‐I know change is hard, but‐‐

I don't need to change.

I am perfect
on the mighty planet Moon.

I was the fearless protector
of my people for years.

And I can't do that here.

Is that what you're afraid of?

I fear nothing!

Uh...

For most of my life,

I stayed in the mansion
and studied.

I was Webby,
expert on all things McDuck.

But then I left,
got out into the world.

And the world was big.

I didn't really fit in,
or even know where to start.

Sometimes, I wished I could
go back to the mansion,

where I knew exactly who I was.

But the guys...

my family showed me new and
amazing and wonderful things.

I'm still Mansion Webby,

but I'm also
World Explorer Webby

and Best Friend Webby.

You will always
be Moon Penumbra.

And if you give it a chance,

I bet you could also be
a pretty great Earth Penumbra.

‐What is this?
‐It's a hamburger.

This is actually quite good.

Mm. Mm.

I mean, it's no cooked
Moon scorpion, but...

Could I possibly get another?

Mm. To be honest, Small Della,
this is a relief.

I've been on a hunger strike
since I got to Earth.

If you liked that,
you'll love this.

Just try it. Trust me.

Mm. So creamy. So sweet.

I've never had anything
like this before.

Well, okay, maybe you should
slow down a bit.

Mm‐mm. This is great.
Maybe the Earth isn't so ba‐‐

‐ ‐What's happening?

Ah! There's some kind of monster
in my head.

Stabbing it with little spears.

Penny, it's okay.
It's just brain freeze.

It's freezing my brain?

You knew this would happen?

Uh...

And now,

to cut the ribbon opening
the FlintFerris Glomwheel,

Duckburg's own Timmy Jenkins!

Boo!

What is going on here?

Sir, I've summoned safety
inspector "Ha‐ha‐ha‐ha‐ha."

Martian, you weren't actually

supposed to get
the safety inspector.

That's why I used "air quotes."

Oh, I thought that was
an Earth gesture

for funny finger bunnies.

Yay, Earth fun.

No. Not "Yay, Earth fun."

Sir, this ride is clearly
a hazard to public safety.

I'll have to take a closer look.

‐No! You cannae!
‐Why, he's the hero of Earth,

‐and he would never‐‐ ‐

I hate Earth!

‐Penumbra? ‐Her!

That Moonlander is obviously mad
that I defeated the Moon.

She sabotaged my ride
for revenge.

Get her.

You.

Moon menace.

Can't fight
in my weakened state.

Come on!

How could I have been foolish
enough to fall for Earth ways?

Just so you could use them
to mock me.

‐No! I didn't mean for‐‐
‐This day has proven

that the Earth
has nothing for me.

When we escape, I am going back
to the Moon alone.

Hey! There's that moon lady!

‐What? ‐

Ha‐ha! First in line.

Eat your heart out,
Timmy Jenkins.

Hey!

Hey, get out of that Glomdola.
It's not safe.

Quick, start the wheel.

Oh, yes, sir.

‐ ‐Stop!

Citizens of Duckburg,

to celebrate the historic day
that I,

Flintheart "Hero of Earth"
Glomgold,

gave you the gift of life,

I present you
with an even better gift...

A world without Scrooge McDuck!

Behold, the FlintFerris
Warwheel.

Technically, that shoddy wheel

could never withstand
the force of a cannon.

It'll fall to bits
before he can even fire it.

The Small Dellas.

The news is here. Finally.

Wait, no, no.

No!

Whoa!

I have to get to them before this
wretched monstrosity falls apart.

Martian, stop her!

Very well, sir.
But this has ceased to be fun.

Go. Save them.

Whoa!

Gibbous.

I need you to help me
have some Earth fun.

Oh, absolutely, Penumbra.
About time.

Martian, what are you doing?

‐ ‐

Penny, I am so sorry.
This is all my fault.

‐I shouldn't have pushed you‐‐ ‐

Are you kidding?
I am having a barrel of monkeys.

Really?

You're much punier
than the Moonlanders.

And the beasts on the Moon
were never this big.

This is my kind of Earth fun.

Ha! Take that, Palus.

‐ ‐Whoa!

Wait, hold me so the cameras
can see my terrified face.

Ah!

No. No.

No!

Curse you, me‐Ferris‐me‐wheel!

Safety violation fines.

Bills for damage to the pier.

And a "thank you" letter
from Timmy Jenkins.

Don't you worry, sir.

Your next giant wheel cannon
will surely be a success.

Oh, sweet Gibbous.

I cannae stay mad at you.

I, uh...

I'm sorry for the bad date,
but you're really cool.

And even if you hate me,

I don't want to have to be
your mortal enemy, and‐‐

What? No, we are not enemies.

I just do not wish
to date an Earth... male.

Oh! That's way easier.

But you would be a formidable
ally on the battlefield.

‐Yeah! ‐I'm fascinated by
your Earth fighting techniques.

Timmy is so great!

‐ ‐No!

It's Dewey's Dew‐saster day.
Dewey's!

Better luck next time, Dewey.

Jenkins!

Then she saved the children

right as the wheel
crashed into the bay.

That is amazing.

In hindsight, I totally shouldn't
have let you kids do that.

It could have been a disaster.

I wish.

Jenkins!

So, Penny, does this mean
you're going to stay?

Until you Earthers can learn
to take care of yourselves,

- ‐which is probably never, so...
- ‐

Hey, Penumbra.

Speaking of which,
Launchpad and I

are going to tear down my ship.

He is surprisingly adept
at dismantling aircraft.

That is true‐‐ Whoa!

I will need your assistance
as well, best friend.

Come, blue Della.

Oh, Penumbra, will we see you
at Palus' next week?

Sure.

It's gonna be a monkey barrel.

‐Oh! ‐A what?
