The Mighty Ones (2020–2022): Season 1, Episode 3 - Wad of Friendship/Twig Puts Down Roots - full transcript

- Almost done.
- Looks kinda weird.

Ah, trust me,
this'll be amazing.

Hey, Leaf!

Let's say you and I go
on a brisk walk together, huh?

Ah, yeah,

I would love to go on that walk
right now, but I can't.

- Why not?
- Because I'm meditating.

With your eyes open?

Well, sometimes,

the best brisk walks
are all by yourself.

Nothing is better than taking
a brisk walk with someone else!



You said it, Rocksy!

Yeah!

Hmm!

Hey, guys!
What are you two doing?

We're on our way to the toilet.

- Together!
- Oh, fun!

What do you think,
got room for one more?

Aw, sorry, Twig.

Today's the day

that me and Berry
do everything together.

It'll be just the two
of us today.

Oh, it's always
just the two of you.

You know you could switch it up
from time to time.

We sure can't!
We're best friends.



Oh, quick,
let's do the handshake again.

No! You know you two
can be best friends

without being attached
at the hip.

Take me and Leaf over there,
best friends for life!

Am I right, brother?

Oh, I mean he can't hear us,
obviously, he's meditating.

- Hi, Leaf!
- Hey, Berry!

Wait. What if there was a way
to be attached at the hip?

Shut up! That would be amazing.

Yeah!

Okay, try this.
Wait, toss that gum first.

Oh, sorry.

What the...?

Rocksy, your hip!

There's something sticky
stuck to your hip!

Hey, be careful, we don't know
what that sticky stuff is

that's all stuck on your hip.

Whatever it is,
it is awfully sticky.

Uh! Hip sticky...

Sticky hip...

Uh! Berry,
please come stand next to me!

This is such a bad idea!

That stuff
might never come off!

Oh, my gosh!
Did you hear that, Rocksy?

Now we're together forever!

Let's go to the toilet
like we planned.

Together. Together!
- To the toilet!
Like we planned.

Like we planned!
To the toilet!
- Together! Together!

The toilet.
Look out below!

Below what?

Looking for you!

I'm here.

Looking for you!

I'm here.

I'm here too!

Oh, no!

We're getting stuck
to weirdos.

Sir, we are so sorry.

Oh, don't worry about it.

I'm just happy
we're together.

Together? I wanna be together!

So do I!

- Yeah!
- Me too!

Our friendship is infectious.

Uh! Like a plague.

I say we let them join
so they can learn
to be perfect friends too.

We're like role models.

Let's roll.

Together!

Oh, no, what's wrong?

My friend
fell into this pile of garbage
and can't get out!

I live here now.

Any ideas?

- More friends?
- More friends!

Yay!

Tim?
- Over here!
I live here now.

- Wanna join your pal?
- Sure do!

Together!

Together!

Oh...

Together!

What? What are you doing?

We're sharing
our perfect friendship
with everyone.

Hey, I thought it was
just the two of you today.

We're mixin' it up!
Jump on in!

Forcing people
together like this
is a recipe for disaster.

I guess I am a little itchy.

I suppose I could be happier.

How'd I get stuck with Ben?

Ugh, they're all bickering!

Twig, you gotta help us
get everyone unstuck!

No way!
I'm not getting anywhere near
that stuff.

You got yourselves into this.
You get yourselves out.

Let's ask Leaf
for help, he'll know what to do.
- Together.

That did not go as planned.

- Dibs on the bathroom!
- Me first!

No, me first. I called it!
- Out of my way!

Stage one complete.
We are in position.

Stage two,
we blast ourselves free
with hot caterpillar water.

Get ready everyone,
we're about to be unstuck!

Close your eyes!
This is gonna burn!

The toilet!

Not the toilet!

Everyone loves
going to the toilet.

Oh, well, looks like your idea
wasn't that brilliant.

Oh, it's my idea now?

Well, it wasn'tmyidea.

Well, I'm sure your next idea
will get us out of here.

It is so great that your nose
just announces to the world

that you're breathing!

Never need to check on you!

Oh, Rocksy, thank goodness
you're still here.

Maybe you can nag us
out of this situation.

Oh, very good.
I am in a nightmare!

How am I supposed to think
when you won't stop breathing?

Considering where
your other ideas have gotten us,
maybe you should stop thinking!

Keep 'er humble, Berry.
Rocksy's ego is so big

I'm about to ask it out
on a date.

What? I can't believe
you're siding with that Berry.

Sidin' with a liar's
more like it!

What do you mean,
Dennis O'Clover?
- Me mum told me

strawberries
ain't even proper berries.

Then what is she?

An aggregate fruit!

I've been best friends
with a fraud?

I bet you planned
this whole thing.

Hey, everyone, let's take sides!
Team Aggregate Fruit.

Team Egomaniac.

- Team Aggregate Fruit!
- Team Egomaniac!

Team Aggregate Fruit!

Oh, no!

- We're out!
- Of control!

Oh, hi, Rocksy and Berry.

Twig, you gotta help us!
We're dummies!

Oh, no way, bros,
Twig can't help you

'cause him and me
are gonna hang out

and be cool-guy bros,
together.

Oh, together. Yeah.

What? Hello?

Ah, geez.

Fire things! Fire things!

We stopped?

Huh, what saved us?

Twig!

Nice job, Twig!

I can honestly say
I'm thinking
about being impressed.

Hey, hey! You can chew it!

Ew, Twig, we don't know
where this came from.

No, it's the only way!
Chew yourself to...

Whoa!

We did it, everyone!

And we did it together.

Wow, they could not get away
from us fast enough.

Let's never fight again.

Never.
I think what we've learned

is that we don't always need
to be together.

Yeah, and we
should be more willing
to switch it up sometimes.

Does this mean
I can hang out with you now!
- Oh, my gosh.

Yeah...

Berry and I
like just made up.

Yeah, we need a second
to regain what we had...

alone.

But when we decide
to switch it up,

you will be
the first one we call.

And until then,
you have your dolls!

Whoa! Oh, no. What now?

Oh, it served us well.

Old toilet, we salute you.

Another day, another toilet.

Oh! A new toilet!

We fixed the toilet
with the beauty of friendship!

Let's go explore it,
just the two of us!

Together! New toilet!
Switch it up!

New toilet!
Switch it up!

Hey, bro.
You wanna do something?
- Together?

Ooh, wait, yeah,
you didn't let me finish.

"Hey, bro, you wanna
do something over there?"

Cause you're totally
crowding me,
and I need some space, ya know,

like not near you.

At all.

Oh, no, no, no!

Oh, yeah!

What? Oh!

What's up with the bugs today?

I dunno. Uh!

Hey, you thinkin'
what I'm thinkin'?

This is the perfect time
for a beast hunt!

Twig, let's go! Charge!
- Let's do it!

Whoa, there's a primo
ten-legger dead ahead!

Alright, Twig.
Pick up your "feets"
and drop some beats.

Whoa! Woohoo!

Uh! Direct hit!
Hold on Rocksy! I'm coming!

Whoa!

Easy girl! Easy.
Whoa, whoa.

You are now a member
of the Mighty Ones.

Wait, what? I thought
we were gonna be something cool,
like the "Yardsters."

You're both crazy!

Our name
is "The Bone Jugglers"!

And your name...

is Matilda.

Whoa, "Bone Jugglers",
that's a pretty cool name.

No, we're the Mighty Ones.
Twig, back me up.

Twig? Twig?

I'm coming!
- Hurry up.
Quit dragging your roots, bro!

My...

My roots?

Roots? Guys, guys!
It's finally happening!

I've grown my roots!

What?

Oofa-doofa, that is nasty.

Dear friends,

today is the day
that I begin my journey

to become
a mighty oak tree!

Oh, that's cool, that's cool.
So how does this gunkus work?

Well, all I need to do
is just wait patiently

until my roots
get all settled in.

And then I can start
my transformation.

Whoa.

- He's a tree now!
- No, not yet.

Um, so, like,
how long's this gonna take?

Hopefully,
for the rest of my life.

- What!?
- Yeah. I'm out.

Well, we've got a full day
planned so...

I guess Matilda
could take your place.

Come hang out
when you're done!

- Here we go!
- Faster, Matilda!

Twig.

Oh, well, that is unexpected.

I guess I have a lot to learn
about being a tree.

Alright, stay focused, Twig.

Joining the fun
doesn't grow you into an oak.

This is your dream.
There is nothing
that can change your mind now.

- I'm having fun!!
- Oh, yeah!

Leaf swings?

Uh! No!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go...

Go?

Oh, droplet dunksies?

Stick with the game plan, Twig.

Thanks
for rolling my dung for me.

Mm, dung.

Helping the elderly?
My favorite! Oh!

Enjoy your dung!

I always do.

Heh?

Oh! Uh, hmm.

Hey, bud.

You're really coming along.

Are you sure
this is tree stuff?

Oh, yeah, yup,
definitely tree stuff.

See? Ha!
Look at that. Branch.

Wow. Certainly is.

Oh, I am so close
to being a tree.

But isn't this supposed
to take, uh...

years?

Uh, guess I'm a prodigy.
- But while you're being
a prodigy,

you're missing out
on all the fun times
with your friends.

- Do you like music?
- Aha.

Smug worm-thing.

Well, fun and games might be
good enough for Matilda,

but I wanna do something
with my life.

Nobody respects a stick.

Trees, though?
Everybody loves a tree.

Twig! Twig!

We love you, Twig!

Please, call me tree.

Yes, gather round me,
friends.

The envy of all!

Oh, that does sound nice.

I guess
I'll be seeing you around?

Around?

No. Trees don't move.
I will be right here.

Forever!

Now, Twig does it like this.

Huh.

Leaf. Berry. Matilda.
Matilda goo.

I don't think
Twig is coming back.

I want to be supportive,
but something
just doesn't seem right,

and it's bumming me out.

I'm not really worried about it.

We're talking about Twig here.
You know, your brother.

Exactly.
What I meant to say was, uh...

Fear not!

Life shall go on.

Just as rain does fall,
now we are down.

- Hmm-mm.
- Oh...

But just as rain evaporates
and returns to the sky,

so too,
will we get back up.

Oh!

Just as rain does form clouds
and float through the air,

so too,
will we float happily,

through our lives.

Oh...

This process
of rainfall and evaporation

is known
as the water cycle.

- Now--
- Let's play.

I guess we did have fun
without Twig earlier.

And now we have Matilda.
Let's do it.

Nothing's...

Oh...

changed!

It's exactly the same!

Same! Same! Same!

It's the same!
It's the same!

It's all the same!

Uh, uh.
It's not the same.

It's just not the same.
We need our Twig back.

Mr. Great Oak?

My friend
really looks up to you,
and I just don't get it.

Oh, I see.

It's about what's on the inside
and what's on the inside
is gunkus.

Huh! That is great!
'Cause Twig has so much gunkus.

I misunderstood.

The gunkus
is in fact destroying you.

Okay. Oh, no! Twig!

Twig! Twig!

Twig.

Oh, hey, Rocksy!

I went to the Great Oak,
and he told me,

Well, he didn't so much
as talk as he ruptured

that the purple gunkus
is destroying him!

The Great Oak is a mark
of grace and health!

Twig, look a little closer.

Yeah! Looks great to me!

That's just a drawing
being held up by the gunkus.

Huh.

Well, okay,
maybe he's let himself go a bit,

but that won't be me.
I'll always be beautiful!

Now, the other function
of the water cycle is to--

Look! The oak tree is falling!

Aw, dangit,
Twig's gonna get crushed!

Oh, no, Twig!

It's horrifying.

Let's go in!

Uh! Twig?

Welcome.
I'm getting you out of here.

But I've done it. Can't you see?
I'm finally a beautiful tree.

What tree do you know
with a crying baby face?

Don't listen to her!

You heard the baby.

Look around you!

This isn't your dream.
This is scary.

Yeah, maybe you've grown,
but you barely resemble a tree,
or my friend.

Hmm.

Twig, wait, you don't have to...

Oh, Twig.

We gotta get out of here
or we're all doomed!

What's up. Wait, where's Twig?

I think I was too harsh on him,

and he went back
into the gunkus.

Oh, well, if Twig bailed
I guess we can just go, right?

- I can no longer go.
- Same.

Help! Help us! Help!

Hmm, who am I kidding?
I'm not a tree.

What?

I can't move.

Gunkus! Hear me!

'Sup, Twig?

I know now
that this is all a lie.

But, if you have to take me,
let my friends go.

No. They're mine.
You can't beat me.

You're probably right.
I can't beat you.

But I can beat-box!

Beat what?
No, stop that, man.

Seriously,
that's like super annoying.

We'll never get out in time!

Hmm! That funky beat!

Could it be?

Matilda!

And Twig!

You came back!

I heard your distressed crying,

so I used my sick beats
to summon the worm.

Oh, how you doin', ol' girl?

Onward, Bone Jugglers!

Dangit. It does sound cool.

Aww!

I'm sorry everyone,

I never meant
to hurt my friends,

and if anyone had to replace me,
I'm glad it was you, Matilda.

Matilda could never replace you.

Aww...

You'll always be our friend.

And you'll be a tree
someday too. I know it.

- Ha!
- Never.

Uh...

I mean in the end,
the most important thing

is that no one
got hurt emotionally.

Or physically.
