The Bug Diaries (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Fly's Picnic Problem - full transcript

Fly accidentally flies into a tree, and though she isn't injured, she's so unnerved by the event that she becomes afraid to fly. Meanwhile, Spider and Worm decide they want to be great inventors.

Dear Diary,

Bom-ba-ba-ba-bom!

Zoom!

Tail bumps!

Wheee! Mookie!

Buzz-tastic!

Zoom!

Dear.

- Hi, Aunt Rita!
- Oooh!

Dear, if my sister finds out
I got stuck again,

I'll never hear the end of it!



Now don't you go eating

any of my triple fudge cake,
Lucas honey.

It's for the family picnic
this afternoon.

Picnic?
Picnic! Picnic!

THERE'S GONNA BE A PICNIC!

Picnic?
We gotta tell everybody!

- Picnic!
- Picnic!?

Picnic?
- Picnic!

Picnic... Picnic...

Picnic!?

Picnic!
- Picnic?

Picnic.
- Picnic! Picnic! Picnic!

Picnic?
- My!

Thanks to her spectacular flying
skills,



Fly Girl fearlessly carries the
entire beehive to safety.

Fly! Fly! Fly!

Not now, bittybugs.

I'm drawing Fly Girl's BIGGEST
adventure ever.

FLY!

There's gonna be a picnic.

Picnic? Why didn't you tell
me sooner?!

I gotta tell Worm and Spider!

Spider, if the Bouncing
Bugamathing

is as webtastic as I think
it's going to be,

we could be on our way
to becoming

the greatest invention inventors
in bug history.

That's the plan!

Tailbumps!

Alright, Worm.
Give it a try!

Ouch... Ouch!

- Is it great?!
- Sort of... ouch.

Worm! Spider! Bugs!

THERE'S GOING TO BE A PICNIC!

A human picnic?
Really?

I've always wanted to
see a picnic.

Me too. They're supposed to be
just about the biggest thing

that ever happens around here.

The whole yard full of people -
and food!

Food everywhere!

My mamas went to a picnic
once.

WORM A human brought lots
and lots of ice cream.

And shared it with everyone!

Too bad we don't eat ice cream.

Quick, somebody
get some paper towels!

Paper towels?! Yum!

Grampa told me about a
picnic he was at

where he snagged a whole bowl of
potato salad for the ants.

- BOO!
- Aghhh!

A- ha! Mission accomplished.

Woo-hoo! Yeah!
Way to go, Grampa Spider.

They made him an
honorary ant for that one.

Well, my dad told me about
this one picnic...

Where my Uncle Leonard drank so
much iced tea...

They literally had to roll
him home!

I can't wait! I can't wait!
I can't wait!

It's gonna be the most
fantastic, spectacular,

delicious thing
you've ever seen!

Of course! You're supposed to
bounce...

On top of the Bugamathing!

You've done it, Fly!

You figured out our invention!

Whee!

Whoaaa!

Oof...agggh!

Fly!

I'm okay! I'm okay!

Are you sure you're all right,
Fly?

Maybe you'd better sit down.

I don't know how I could
have done that.

Accidents happen.

Not to me they don't.
Not when I'm flying.

Fly, you were really
more careening

than actually flying.

I'm an excellent flyer.

We know, Fly.
We know.

But still maybe you ought to sit
down for a minute.

Not now. We've got a picnic
to get ready for.

Yikes!

Hoo-boy.

There sure are a lot of things
for a bug to run into up here!

Maybe I'd better just come back
down to earth for a little.

Fly, are you okay?

Me? Heh heh.
Yeah. I'm fine.

- ... - Excuse us, folks.
Comin' through.

What's going on?

The picnic, of course!
Alright ants, double time!

Gosh, with all these bugs
around,

we'll be lucky
if we don't get trampled,

let alone get close
to all the goodies.

Yeah, we might not
even get a crumb,

or a scrap of wet paper,
as the case may be.

If we want to get in on the fun,
we need to up our game.

- Uhm...
- Hmmmm.

I'm thinking we need something
to get us up high,

out from under feet.

And I'm thinking we need
something

to help us reach the food.

Another Invention!

Something that'll bring us

right into the middle of the
excitement!

Without getting us squished!

Want to help us build something
amazing, Fly?

I have a feeling your fabulous
flying faculties

might be just the skill we need.

Um, maybe later.

Right now I think maybe I'll
just go home. See ya.

Walking?!

I- I-I like to walk.

You can really see
the countryside this way.

Who knew there were all these
roots down here?

Boy, this grass sure is green!

Is Fly gonna join us
at the picnic?

Alright, ants!

Take your positions!

No, too much. That way.

Perfect!

Whoo! Picnics sure are
a lot of work!

Our house sure is high up
when you're on foot.

Fly, did you just climb all
the way up here?

Yeah. It's great exercise!

I- I-I feel like
I've been missing out

by flying everywhere
all the time.

Really?

Well, be that as it may,

would you mind flying over
to Miss Ladybug's

and see if she wants to come
with us to the picnic?

Uhm...did you say...fly?

...gosh, Mom!

I really need to finish

working on 'Fly Girl No. 187'
this afternoon.

Well, never mind, I'll just buzz
over there myself.

This is ridiculous.
I'm just gonna...

Nope. No I'm not.

Way too scary.

Just imagine
we're at the picnic.

A little to the left!

No, a little to the right.
That's it, that's it.

Bring it on down.

Slightly to the right...

Got it!

And the Food Fisherman
is complete!

With this we'll be able to snag

all the best goodies
at the picnic.

And now all we need is...

Fly!

Fly!

- What is it - Come down here
for a minute, will ya?

We've got something to show you.

But I JUST got up here.

Hey bugs, what's going on?

See? Isn't it brilliant.

It's brilliant,
all right. But what is it?

It's the Food Fisherman!

See, we just lower this
from up above

to snag the yummiest treats.

- No muss, no fuss...
- No getting squished.

Wow, that is brilliant!

Picnics around here are never
gonna be the same,

thanks to you bugs.

Not that I've ever seen one,
of course.

But now I really can't wait!

See, I told you Fly

would recognize our genius
for what it is...

All we need for you to do
is fly it into place.

Ooohhh! Fly it?

- Yep! - Here, we'll show
you on the map.

- Map?
- Yup.

As soon as the food starts
coming out,

you're gonna take
the Food Fisherman and fly it

right over that cake your aunt
Rita was talking about.

Then I'll spool out
web-thread behind you.

It'll take some fancy flying,

but for an excellent flier
like you,

it oughta be no problem.

Gee...I don't...

I mean...I-I'm not sure
I'm the right bug for this.

You're the perfect bug for this.

Nobody else can fly like you.

I mean, there'll be tons of
humans all over the place,

and you'll have to dodge 'em,
which may not be easy

with you carrying all that
weight.

We wouldn't ask
any other flying bug

to take on a mission like this,

but you're fearless Fly Girl,

and nothing can scare you!
Right?

Hey bugs, what's up?

We've just come up with
the most bug-tastic invention

for the picnic.

It's called the Food Fisherman!

Fly, you wanna show 'em

how you're gonna fly this thing
into place above the cake?

Uhm...hey, I've got an idea!

Why doesn't Cockroach do
the flying for you?

He's so much bigger than me,

I bet he's a better flyer too.

No can do, Fly. These wings...

..are just for gliding.
Besides,

for me all the fun starts
at night,

when all the humans go home.

Nope, Fly, you're the bug
for this job.

No doubt about it!

Uhm...

I think I'm going to go home
for a while.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah. I'm fine.

What? Are you walking again?

Am I?
Yeah, I guess I am.

Do you think she's really okay?

I sure hope so.

Hi, Fly. Almost ready
for the picnic, honey?

I don't think I'm gonna go.

What? Why?! You were so looking
forward to it!

...I...

I just don't feel like it.

I uhm...earlier...

I flew into something
and crashed.

Flew into something? That
doesn't sound like you.

- I know!
- Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

It's just that what if it
happens again?

What I keep crashing?

Fly, that's not going to happen.

You're a fly! You have super-
strong wings,

you can change direction
instantly,

and you have thousands of eyes

to see anything that might
be in your way.

Now, why don't you go ahead

and go to the picnic
with your friends?

I don't really feel like it,
Mom.

Fly, I know it's hard
when you're afraid.

But when you have
your friends by your side,

sometimes you find out
you can do stuff

you never thought you could.

Maybe. But, I don't think
I wanna do anything.

Not now, at least.

Well, it's up to you,
Fly.

Thanks, Mom.

Sometimes Fly Girl doesn't feel
like saving the world.

Sometimes Fly Girl just wants to
stay home where it's safe

and she doesn't have to risk
flying.

Fly Girl thinks maybe
she'll let

somebody else be the hero
today.

Hello, Spider.
Hello, Worm.

Hi. We're here to get Fly
for the picnic.

Well, I don't know
that she's feeling

that great right now,
but I'll go get her.

Fly, your friends
are here.

Hey, Fly. Are you ready
for the picnic?

Guys, I uhm... I can't go.

- What?! - You're not coming
to the picnic?

I mean, I want to of course,

I want to.

But, um, after that crash
and all,

well, I'm really not up to
flying.

That's terrible!

I'd love to go, but I won't be
any good if I can't fly.

We're so sorry.

Yeah, we're so sorry.

Int's okay.
Um, why don't you get going,

so maybe you can find
somebody else

to help you with your
fisherfood thing.

Food Fisherman, actually.

Yeah, well. Listen,

I'll see you around.
Have fun and all.

I can't believe it.
This is just awful.

And it's all our fault.

If we hadn't built that
bouncing bugamathing,

Fly would never have crashed
into that tree.

Our inventing days
are over.

You know, Spider,

it doesn't matter
if Fly can't fly.

She can still have fun.

She's been so looking forward
to the picnic,

and as her friends,
it's our job to get her there.

You're right. Maybe our
inventing days aren't over.

What do you mean?

We're gonna turn
the Food Fisherman

into a Get-Fly-to-the-Picnic-
without-Flying system.

I like it!

Come on,
let's get to work!

Did you hear that, ants?!
This is not a drill!

I repeat, this is not a drill!

Now Fly can enjoy the picnic
with us.

There! Careful.

I've just made this piece all
slimy-slidey.

Whoaaaaa!

- It sure is slippery!
- That's the point.

We'll be able pull Fly along
this as easy as pie.

Wow, that's where all
the food will be.

Wait til Fly sees this!

We'll be able to get her all
over the picnic.

- With no flying.
- And no squishing.

You know, Spider? Inventions
are even more fun,

when you make them to help
somebody else.

Alright, ants.
Take your positions.

See-ya! Ho, ho! Woo-hoo!

- I'm gonna get you.
- Yay!

Wheeeeee! Let's
go, let's go, let's go!

Bzzz...bzzz...bzzz.

- In a minute, kids.
- Ye-hay!

Fly, honey? We're leaving
for the picnic.

Are you sure you don't want
to come? It'll be fun,

whether you want to fly or not.

I'm just gonna stay here, Mom.
It'll be fine.

Okay, darling.
Whatever you want to do is fine.

Woo-hoo! / Yay! / Alright!

- Fly?
- What is it?

Fly, come on out here!

I told you guys,
I can't fly.

And I don't wanna go
to the picnic.

We know. But we've got a special
surprise for you.

Something you don't
have to fly for.

What is it?

Told you. It's a surprise.
In fact...

...you're going to have
to wear this.

A blindfold?

Yup! Big enough to cover
your thousands of eyes.

Well...okay, I guess.

Where are we going?

You'll see...in just a minute.

- Tada!
- The picnic!

Guys, I told you.
I can't fly.

We know! That's why we made
this for you.

Go ahead. With this,

you'll be able to enjoy
the whole picnic,

and you won't have to
fly an inch!

First stop, the drinks.

Then over to the food,
and the condiments.

And finally into the tent
for cake and ice cream!

You did all this...for me?

We knew how much you were
counting on going to the picnic,

and since you hurt yourself
on our invention,

we thought we'd make another
invention to help you.

It was the least we could
do for our Best Bug Buddy!

Fly, are you crying?

No, I just got something
in my thousand eyes.

I can't begin
to thank you for this.

But...but...!

I gotta tell you something!

It's not that I can't fly,
it's that...I'm afraid to fly!

You're afraid?

Yeah, I mean, what if
I crash again?

You won't. You're the best flier
ever. You're Fly Girl!

That's what you keep saying.

But I crashed once.

What's gonna stop
me from crashing again?

It's ok to be afraid.

And with our new invention you
don't have to fly.

We can still enjoy
the picnic together

if you want to give it a try.

Ready?

Wheeeee!

Buzztastic!

Worm, this is great!

It is, isn't it?

And what a way to get right in
the middle of the action!

A- ha!

Hey, sweetheart, you made it!

How could I miss all this?

I'm so glad you decided
to come after all.

Next, cake and ice cream!

Slurp, slurp.

Worm, Spider,
this is so much fun!

I can't ever thank you
both enough!

Fly, it's our pleasure.

Well, there it is!
The cake.

Whoaa...aahhhh!

Worm!

Love your mom's cake!

Worm!

I don't...I don't...!

Uhaaaa!

Bom-ba-ba-bom!

Nnnnnnnggggh!

...ooof!

Fly, you flew!
You saved me!

I did! I did! I flew!

And I didn't crash
into anything.

I guess when a friend's
in trouble

you can do pretty much anything,

Yup!

What happened at the trampoline
was just an accident.

I shouldn't doubt myself.

Hey, Cody.
Are you hungry?

Humans!

How're we gonna
get out of here?

Follow me!

Now that's what I call dessert!

You said it!

...wheeee!

That was some fancy
flying, Fly.

I knew you could do it!

I know too, now.

So that's a picnic?

That's a picnic!

Yum!

I guess everyone
is afraid sometimes,

even Fly Girl.

I was so afraid of flying,
that I almost missed

my first picnic.

But then, bom-ba-ba-bom!

Worm and Spider to the rescue!

Their invention flew me all
around the picnic!

And when friends
are by your side,

being afraid
isn't such a big deal.

So ends another amazing
adventure.

And so begins your
next amazing adventure!

What are YOU gonna draw
in your Bug Diary?
