The Bug Diaries (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Dump of Dreams - full transcript

Dear Diary,

Bom-ba-ba-ba-bom!

Zoom!

Tail bumps!

Wheee! Mookie!

Buzz-tastic!

- Wheee!
- Whee...yeah!

- Heeyah...whee!
- Woohoo!

- Hello, Spider.
- Hi, Mrs. Fly.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if my
friends could fly like me?

Worm and Spider and I could
go zipping and zooming



all over the place.

Fly, aren't you gonna come play
hide and seek?

Of course! Let's go!

Zoom!

Hi Fly.
Are you bugs ready?

- Yeah!
- Mmhmm.

Let's see who's gonna be it.

Gooey gloopy grimy goo!

Moldy papers,
I love to chew.

If it's slimy stinky stew.

I will eat it,
how about you!

Gulp!

My mamas told me to...

..pick the smelliest one
and that one is you!



I guess I'm it.

- Yes! - Hide!
- One...two...

Three...four...

Five...six...

Seven...eight...nine...

Ten...eleven...

Twelve...thirteen...

Fourteen...fifteen...

Sixteen...seventeen...

- Eighteen...nineteen...twenty!
- Wahhh!

Ready or not, here I come.

Now...Spider likes places
that are dark and dry.

Ha!

Gotch...ughhh!

Hi Spider!

That's one.
Now where's...

Here I am! Here I am!

What?!

You really have to try harder,
Fly.

I'm good at flying,
not waiting.

Hey, I have an idea!

What if we play
"I Spy in the Sky"?!

- But we can't fly.
- Right.

Wait, what if we play
"Dodge a screen door"

in Lucas's kitchen?!

We can't fly.

How 'bout we go up
to the roof and...

- We can't fly!
- Okay, okay!

I guess we'll just play
hide and seek again.

Sure would be better if you bugs
could fly, though.

We can't all be flies, Fly.

Nor would we want to.

I guess I'm "it,"

One... Two... Seven...

Hey!

Three... four...

Five...six...

I'll show 'em. I'm gonna find
the best hiding place ever.

And I'm not coming out until
they find me.

If they find me.

Yeah! Great hiding place!

And yummy, too!

Worm!

- Caught me!
- Great hiding place.

If I hadn't stepped on you, I
never would have found you!

Now, where is Fly?

Oof!

That was weird.

Okay, to find Fly, we need
to think like Fly.

Right! And if I were a fly,
I would hide...

Somewhere up high.

Where are those guys?!

Here I am! Here I...

Where am I?

Wow! Am I dreaming?

You couldn't dream a
smell like that!

Spider! Worm! You gotta get
a load of this place!

- Hello!
- Is somebody there?

You can't hide
from my compound eyes!

- Just me!
- Who said that?!

Me! Flygo Flyski,
at your service.

You're a fly.
But you look so different!

I'm a blue bottle fly.
This is blue bottle country.

What is this place anyway?

- It's the City Dump.
- "City Dump"?

Yeah, the City Dump. Where
humans bring their garbage,

not from just one house, but
from hundreds of houses,

thousands of houses, tens
of thousands of houses,

hundreds of thousands
of houses,

millions of houses!

- Really?!
- Yep. All that garbage.

And it's ours. All ours.

Come on, I'll show you around.

Wow, you fly just as fast as me!

- Faster, I'll bet!
- Ha!

When it's hot and humid
like this, with no breeze,

it's particularly putrid.

- I love it!
- Who wouldn't?

Zoom!

Watch your wings!

Woohoo! Ha, ha, ha!

Ooooh!

Hey, you can walk upside-down
too!

- You can do everything
I can do! - Yep!

Corn syrup.
Careful, it's sticky.

Sticky as one of Spider's webs.

But a lot yummier!

You find something new here
every day.

Usually something soupy,
sweet and totally rotten.

Spider and Worm would
never do this!

Who exactly are
this Spider and Worm?

They're my friends.
They can't fly, though.

Boy, I wonder
if they've found me yet!

Well, we can now say we have
left no stone unturned

in our search for Fly.

Maybe it was a mistake
to keep telling her

she should try harder.

Yeah, I think she definitely
tried way too hard.

You know, Fly really likes
to walk upside down.

She also likes sweet,
sugary things.

Look! It always amazes me

how humans throw things
just anywhere.

Yeah, with all their junk
lying around,

I'm surprised there's any room
at all for us bugs.

I move we elect Andy
president!

- YAY!
- Fly?

Do you mind? We have Ant
business to deal with here!

Oops! Sorry about that.

Where could Fly be?

Flygo, this place
is unbelievable!

But I think I'd better be
getting home.

My friends are definitely going
to be wondering where I am.

Aaaw. I wanted you
to meet my family!

Okay. I guess a few more
minutes won't hurt.

This way.

Wow!

Come on!

Fly, these are my cousins
Renzo and Grindal.

My Uncle Simon, my sister
Simone, my brother Silchester.

Hi. Pleased to meet you.

My Aunt Gloria, Uncle Jerry,

my brothers Xerxes,
Pericles and Siphon.

My cousin Roger, my cousin
Antoinette, my sister Sue.

Hello, hi!
How ya doing?

My cousin Neil,
my second cousin Arnie,

my nephew Flashmark,
Flashmark's Aunt Ida...

Hi! Hello.

My sisters Sarah,
Saray and Sandra.

My Uncle Vic,
my brother Waldorf.

Wow!
Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi!

- And hello!
- And there's more this way!

Wow, Flygo. You have as many
relatives as I do!

Yeah, well, that was just
a few of them.

I can't believe I've found
a friend just like me.

You're a fly, I'm a fly.

You love flying,
I love flying.

You've got a big family,
I've got a big family.

We are kind of alike,
aren't we?

Get ready, 'cause now you're
gonna meet my Grammy Ludmilla.

Ludmilla?

Well, hello there.
Who might you be?

Grammy Ludmilla, this is
my friend Fly. She's...

A house fly,
if I'm not mistaken?

That's right, ma'am.

Nice to meet you,
ma'am.

Nice to meet you, young lady.

We don't get a lot
of house flies here.

Probably because this isn't a
house, it's a dump!

What's that?

Come on!

No!

My goodness,
what happened?

Your whole house has
fallen apart!

Think nothing of it!

We would've had to rebuild
today, anyway.

This is the Day of Uncovering.

The Day of Uncovering?

Yeah, every week
the Big Yellow Pushy Thing

comes and pushes away
this whole mountain.

That's terrible!

You see, when all this stuff
gets pushed away,

it uncovers all the really
rotten, stinky, juicy garbage

that's been stewing underneath
for days,

or weeks, or months!

- Yum!
- "Yum" is right.

There's a huge feast,

and flies come from all over
the dump. Can Fly come?

Of course she can come!

I wouldn't hear of her
not coming!

A feast?

You know,
maybe Worm and Spider

can keep on looking for me
just a little longer.

- Where is the Snuzzip?
- Oops!

With meeting Fly and all,
I sort of forgot.

Sorry Grammy. We'll go get it
right away.

Come on, Fly. We've got
a Snuzzip to find!

- A what?
- It's a pink, wavy thing.

Kind of like your hair bow.

We put it up so flies
all over the dump

can see where the feast is.

Hurry Flygo and new friend!

Without the snuzzip
there's no feast!

Not there.

I don't see anything pink.

Not here either.

- What are these?
- Old newspapers.

Kinda wet and moldy. Careful
you don't get stuck on 'em.

I've never seen so many...

Worm would love this place!

...no snuzzip.
That's weird.

Come on.

See anything?

No pink wavy thing
around here.

This looks familiar.

You know,
if we just flew straight,

we could keep track
of where we've been

and where we haven't been.

Who wants to fly straight?

Just a thought.

With both of us using our
thousand eyeballs,

we're certain to find it.

But Spider would make a
spiderific web on these things!

"Hello!

Hello!

Nice echo.

but no Snuzzip. C'mon!

One more place to look.

Spider and Worm
would both love this!

It's dark, and it's wet,
and that echo would tickle

their trichobothria and
slimy segments!

I wonder if they're still
looking for me?

I've got it!
I know where she is!

Remember how Fly always
gets excited

about shiny metal things?

Curvy shiny metal things
especially!

So this has GOT to be it.

Come on out, Fly!
We've found you!

Fly! Fly?!

I don't understand it.
She HAD to be here.

We're never gonna find her.

Yes, we are!
You know why?

Because she's our best friend.

You're right.

I mean it's not like she could
be miles away or anything.

- Wait, Flygo! Is that it?
- What?

- Is that the snuzzip?
- Yes!

Fly, your slow-motion fly
vision is really on the ball!

Let's hear it for the high
flicker fusion frequency!

High-fives! Low-fours!

Tail bumps!

Brother! Never mind.
We found it.

Come on, race ya!

And you're right. It is the same
color as my hair-bow.

Look out!

If we don't get out of here,
we can't put up the snuzzip,

and no one will know where
to come for the feast.

A little help?

- Oooh!
- Aghhh!

How are we going to get out?

If Worm were here,
he'd squish up his body

and squeeze through
those bars like this.

Or he'd dive into the ground
and eat his way out.

You know, make a tunnel.

Nope.

We're not gonna be eating our
way out of this one.

Okay, what would Spider do?
He'd collect some cool things

and then turn them into a
thinga-ma- jig.

- An invention?
- Yeah!

That we could use to get...
OUCH!

Flygo, give me a hand!

I think I've invented
a thinga-ma-jig

to get us out of here.

Spider would probably wrap it
with a web-strand

and make it even better,
but this just might work.

What are we gonna do with it?

Dig a tunnel, just like Worm!

Only without the eating part.

Buzztastic!

Fly, you're the cleverest
bug ever!

If you think I'm clever,

you should meet my friends,
Spider and Worm!

They do things like this
all the time!

Come on, we don't want
to miss that feast!

It's feasting time!

Look at all that yummy muck!

Now, we hang the snuzzip!

Now everyone will know
where to come to eat!

Come on!

- Grammy! - You did good
with the Snuzzip, Flygo.

You wouldn't believe Fly! She
made this crazy diggy thing!

And then she used it
to dig a tunnel

right through the garbage to get
us out from under a box!

A diggy thing?!
A tunnel?!

Fly, you are a wonder
of nature!

Who's a wonder
are Worm and Spider.

They're my best bug buds

and the ones who taught me
all this stuff.

You are friends
with a worm and a spider?

They're my best friends.

And I gotta get back to them!

What are they gonna think
happened to me?!

But gosh, how am I gonna
get back?

I'm not even sure where home
is from here.

Don't worry, little Fly.

We have our ways of getting
around. Don't we, Flygo?

When you have had your fill of
all this gloppy goodness,

Flygo will show you the way.

Let's eat!

You can go anywhere in the whole
city on these things.

Let's see...number 8-2-6
is the one you want.

Fly, this has been so much fun!
I'm so glad I met you!

Me too, Flygo.
Don't forget me!

Forget you?
After the adventure we had?

I'm gonna think of you every
time I go to find a snuzzip.

There's your ride.
Better fly!

Goodbye!

You were right, Spider.
We have looked everywhere.

All I can think is,
Fly doesn't want to be found.

I'm here! I'm here!

- Fly!
- You're here! You're here!

High-fives!

Low-fours!

Middle-sixes!

Tail bumps!

You must have found
the best hiding spot ever!

You have no idea.
Wait till I tell you!

So then I took
the diggy thing -

it was just like you would
have invented, Spider!

And we made this Worm-y tunnel
right out of there.

You'd have been so proud of me!

And when we got back there
really was this huge feast.

It was so totally
beyond amazing!

I was really wishing you both
were there to see it.

You wouldn't have believed it!

You're right.
We don't believe it.

Yeah, c'mon, Fly.

An ocean of garbage?

I think we took so long
to find you

that you fell asleep
and started dreaming.

No, I...

Golly,
could I have dreamed it?

Flygo!

Fly, your bow fell off
when you left the dump.

Are these the famous
Worm and Spider?

Famous?

I guess we're more
well-known that we thought.

Fly could not stop talking
about you two!

She thinks you are the most
brilliant,

wonderful-est bugs
in the whole world!

Flygo, since you're here,
I gotta show you

around my neighborhood!
Come on, everybody!

Making new friends
who can fly as fast as me

and go all over the place
like me is great.

But it's my old friends,

my best friends,
who are the greatest.

Even if they different
from me.

No, wait!
They're the greatest

BECAUSE they're different
from me!

I guess maybe
it's our differences

that make
our life so interesting.

And let us have
such fantastic adventures!

Speaking of fantastic
adventures,

so ends another one.

And so begins your next amazing
adventure.

What are you going to draw
in your Bug Diary?
