The Mighty Ones (2020–2022): Season 1, Episode 5 - Creepy Caterpillar/Code of Silence - full transcript

Okay, Leaf,
the plan for today:

Achieve inner peace,
connect with all living things,

and maximize
spiritual gains.

It's time to sing
the Nature Note.

Percussion.

Bass.

Strings.

Yeah, there it is.

Bye, Josh!
Nice meeting you!

Ew, what is
that awful sound?

Did I do it?
Does nature love it?



Oh!

Oh, hey, Leaf.
What'cha doing?

Trying to hit
that Nature Note.
- The nature what?

You just gotta
harmonize with nature

and harness its power
to like set you free and stuff.

Yeah, you know,
I'm doing great,

probably knock this out
any minute now.

Oh, you were trying to sing!

Oh, wow, that's great!

Keep it up, I'm sure
you're gonna get way better.

What do you mean!
I'm a totally great singer!

Hey, hey, hey, hey. I'm sorry.

I fully believe you're going
to hit that note someday.

You deserve it.



Ugh! What is this?
What's happened to you?

Oh! It's this concept
my new friend Josh taught me!

It's called "Positivity"!
Here, watch this!

Twig, I love you,
and you deserve love.

I couldn't do that before!

It's cool
you got a new friend and all.

Maybe you, uh,
go talk to him?

Cause, uh,
I'm kinda busy.

So, his name is Josh and he's...

Uh! Actually,
he's a lot like you!

He's really into oneness
or whatever,

he's into fitness, singing.

I bet he could help you hit
that Nature Note!

I'm totally good, man.

I don't need help.
I got it in the bag.

No! I'm serious!
Let me introduce the two of you!

I think you'll get along
really well.

He really loves leaves!
I mean, like a lot...

He talks about them
all the time,

kinda makes me
a little insecure.

Excuse me for a moment.

Twig, you're amazing.

You don't have to compete
with others for affection.

Sorry about that.

I'm a work in progress,
and that's okay.

Anyway, follow me.

Here we are!

What is that sound?

That is Josh.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Ah, Twig.
You've brought a companion.

And he's a leaf!

Dude! He's a caterpillar?
Caterpillars eat leaves!

You don't have
to worry about that.

I used to eat leaves.

I unflinchingly devoured
so many leaves.

Like, just absolutely
decimated thousands, you know?

But then I realized
that I didn't want that.

I wanted to achieve
perfect inner peace,

connection
with all living things,

and maximum spiritual gains.
And the way to do that, is...

The Nature Note.

This guy gets it.

Hey, I'm Leaf.
Man, you sang it perfectly!

Thanks.

I've been working
on this forever.

It takes a long time
to master the Nature Note.

No, I know, I know.

I've been on it
since like this morning.

Hey, Leaf!

Maybe Josh could help you
with your singing?

No, I don't want
to bother him, it's all right.

Leaf, if you want,

I can totally give you
some pointers.

Really? I mean, yeah!

I guess that'd be pretty cool.
I'd be down.

Ha! Just look at us.

Just three cool-guy friends
without a care

- in the cool-guy wor--
- Twig!

There's something
real gross over here!

Berry and I need you
to touch the gross thing with!

Why would I ever do that?

Okay, fine, I'm coming.

I'll meet up
with you guys later!

It's just the two of us.
What's the plan?

Let me hear your Nature Note.

- Really?
- Lay it on me.

Let me just get there. Okay.

Ooh!

See? I pretty much got it,
I just keep getting hit
by this lightning.

Yeah.
You're doing really good, man.

I know.
- The thing
about the Nature Note is,

you can't force it.

It'll happen
when the time is right.

Until then,
we can prepare ourselves.

First,
we must strengthen our airways!

Warm, moist air
is great for the body, Leaf.

I sure
do love eating peanut butter

with the car on.

Hmm! What's that smell?

That'd be me.
Hot air totally makes me sweat.

Ha, uh, no matter.
There, not too bad now.

Aw, man,
look at how juicy I am.

That's enough of this exercise.

The Nature Note
can only be projected

from a body
in peak physical condition.

Aw, sweet, I was born
in peak physical condition!

Whoo! Oh! Sorry, Josh,

didn't mean to put my hand
in your mouth.

Anyway, check out
how fast I can run!

Hey, so I'm done running.
You wanna like wrestle or...

Oh, man, I just put my hand
in your mouth again!

Enough working out for today.

We need to cool things down.

I got the perfect spot
for us. Come on!

Ah! You're right, Leaf.

This is really putting
my mind at ease.

Yeah,
I don't know what this stuff is,

but it feels right
to be in it!

- Kensington!
- What?

You seen the Thousand Island?

I want to make
a peanut butter salad sandwich.

- That's disgusting!
- Don't you yuck my yum!

Whoa! Hey, there, what's this?

Oh, man, ah,
this feels great. Oh, yeah!

Whoa! Is this parmesan!

A bunch of parmesan
just sprinkled on me, Josh!

Where did this come from?
It's weird, huh, Josh?

Oh, what? Is my hand
in your mouth again?

What's going on?
This is so crazy!

Uh...

Stay cool, Josh.
Stay cool.

You know what, Leaf?

I'm having
a delicious time with you.

How about we play a game?

- Seems chill.
- Oh, it's very chill.

It's called
"Hide and Eat."

Hide and Seek? I love that game!

It's so great us threeamigos
can enjoy a great game.

Just three cool-guyamigos
without a care in the wor--

Twig! Berry says she blinked

when I used you to touch
the real-gross thing,

so we're going
to need you to touch

the gross thing with again!

But, Rocksy,
I wanna hang with myamigos!

Fine, I'm coming. Don't have
too much fun while I'm gone!

Don't worry about us, Twig!

Now, who's hiding
and who's seeking?

I think we made
enough progress today.
How 'bout we just call it?

C'mon,
it's just one little game!

Listen,
it'll be just me and you!

I'll hide somewhere so remote
that no one will ever find me!

Whoa! Sorry, man.

This stuff's got me
really slippery.

I think it's time to play, Leaf.

Sick! Make sure
you count all the way to 50!

Let's see. Oh!
No one will find me in there!

Ain't nobody
finding me here.

Huh?

Could've sworn I heard...

Nah, he probably
hasn't even finished counting.

Hello? Is someone here?

- So, like, is that a no?
- Leaf...

Oh, hey, Josh!
You found me!

I gotta fly outta here!

Whoa!

Huh? Ow!

- Leaf, what's wrong?
- It's Josh, man!

He tried to eat me!

It's okay, homie, it's okay.

Never say "homie" again.

It felt weird
coming out of my mouth,
but everything'll be alright.

I had no clue
Josh was like this.

So, if he
shows his head again,

I'll give him
a piece of my mind!

Leaf!

Ah!
- Get out of here,
hom...

Josh! No one tries
to eat my brother!

Sorry.
I'm not sure what came over me.

The training got off track.
I'm done training with you.

I'll learn
the Nature Note on my own!
- You're right.

I think we should stay
as far away from each other
as possible from now on--

Wow, a cricket!
That's a caterpillar.

Wow, a caterpillar!
And it's got some food.

Let's grab s'more peanut butter

and watch nature
take its course.

- Somebody help!
- Somebody!

Ah, this is whack,
he's totally gonna to eat me.

There has to be
a way out of here. Look!

Hey! I can fit!
Look at this! Whoo, wee, whoo!

Dude!

Oh, sorry.
I'm gonna go get help!

Good plan!

Wait, Twig!
Bad plan, bad plan!

You okay, man? You cool?

Yeah, I think I can control this

until Twig gets back.

Yeah, I got this.

Phew!

Ha, ha!

- This is boring.
- Yeah, let's go.

Had enough?

Ah!

You know you just gotta
harmonize with nature

and harness its power
to like set you free and stuff.

You can't force it. It'll happen
when the time is right.

It's okay, homie, it's okay.

Harness its power
to set you free and stuff.

It'll happen
when the time is right.
- It's okay, homie.

- Set you free and stuff.
- Time is right.

Homie?

Dang it! Uh!

Leaf! You did it!

You finally sang the Nature Note
and set yourself free!

Uh-huh. Yup.
That's totally what I did.

Uh, Leaf?

Ah!

Well, I guess that puts
a lid on this adventure!

Uh! Uh!

Whoa!

This is
the best noise garden ever!

I am the Noise Lord!

Woohoo! Yes!

Oh. Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, yeah. Feel it.

Smooth groove, brother!
You got room for one more?

You can never have
too much tambourine, baby bro!

Oh, yeah!

What up!

I'm tellin' you, Bernard,

you shoulda seen
the stupefied expression

on that hawk when I
commandeered his face feathers

for my towel rack.

Oh, you're playin'
with fire, Rabbit.

Themhawks
are vengeful beasts.

Your apprehensions
are unfounded, Bernard.

Our hideaway here
is impenetrable.

Huh? What's that?

No, no, no!

That cacophony will lead
the hawk straight to me!

Bernard,
I do believe it's time

to silence these neighbors
once and for all!

Oh!
The waters-a-cooling

while the Rabbit's-a-steamin'.

Woohoo, woohoo!

Louder, louder, louder!

Yeah!

You!
Stop making all that noise!

Bernard, tear down
this infernal contraption.

Oh, you got it, boss.

What?
You want to tear down
our amazing noise garden?

- Oh, very much so.
- But it's so loud.

Ah! I don't even know why
I'm wasting my breath

on these unfortunate creatures.

There's no way these muttonheads
could maintain silence
for even a millisecond.

No way!
We could be quiet way longer
than that!

I bet we could even be quiet
for an entire day!

A bet, you say?

Hmm, alright.

But if you nincompoops
can't be quiet all day,

I'm going to take
that nincompoop

and use him
as my toothpick.

Uh! Are we hanging out
in people's mouths again?

Oh, oh!
I call Mr. Handsome Toad!

Open up!

So, do we have an agreement?

Uh, no way! Who be stupid enough
to take a bet like that--

- Deal!
- What?

But if we win,
we get to use your hot tub.

Hot tub?
Oh, you mean the bubble potty!

Wait, why do you
call it "bubble potty"?

Hmm? Uh...

No reason.

Bubble potty! Bubble potty!

Uh! Fine! Fine!

Just as long
as you reprobates keep silent!

Get ready
for the quietest afternoon

of your life!
Starting now!

Wait like now, now?

Ugh! Yes, now, now!

All of us quiet
or one at a time?

All of us!
For real this time.

Now.

This is the silent game, right?

- Am I playing too?
- Yes!

Everyone is involved,
we got this so easy.

Okay, get ready
for the quietest afternoon
of your life.

Starting...

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm?

Oh! One, two, three, four. Oh!

- Six.
- Huh?

Seven.

Six.

Uh-uh-uh. Seven.

Six.

Psst.

Seven.

Ahem.

Six.

Seven.

- Six, six.
- Seven, seven.

Hush!

Yeah.

Sh-sh-sh. No, no, no, no.

Tambourine.

Sh-sh-sh-sh.

Oh, ah.

Oh!

Peace and quiet.
Clear, hawkless skies.

I do believe my troubles
are behind me.

Yeah,
that is until you lose the bet

and then, poof,
the return of bubble potty.

No! I'll never lose!

I won't abide by it!

But, Rabbit,
what about that mean ol' Hawk?

Right now,

my biggest problem is you
pointing out all my problems.

What are you,
my dentist?

No. You made that
perfectly clear last time.

Just look at 'em.

Their tomfoolery continues,

but who knew
they could do it so quietly!

I'm shocked.

They are not winning my hot tub.

We gotta find a way
to even the odds.

Oh! Bernard, hand me an almond.

Uh, I don't know, boss.

Stress eating might exacerbate
your gingivitis.

I'm not going to eat it,
you fatuous frog!

Oh, I get where this is going,
coming right at 'cha.

Watch out.
It's comin' fast.

C'mon now.

Get those fingers ready!

Oh! Ah.

Huh?

Hmm?

- Ooh.
- Ow.

Huh?

No, no, no, no.

Oh! You are repulsive.

Here it comes.

Ah! Your almonds
are inadequate, Bernard!

Give me that bag
of Brazil nuts.

Not the Brazil nuts, boss.

Fine! I'll do it myself.

Outta my way!

Oh, be careful, boss.

Nobody can lift
that many Brazil nuts.

Oh!

Whoa, whoa! Oh!
I've been entangled.

Uh! Hurry up and release me!
- Oh,
don't you worry, boss!

Ol' Bernard will get you down!
Here we go. Almost there now.

Comin' loose.

- I'm out!
- Where you goin'?

Help! Bernard,
come back and help me!

You cowardly toad.

Agh, not you, guys!

Just, uh, hurry up
and help me out of here.

Quietly.

C'mon now. C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Quicker! Quicker! Make haste!

- You threw the almonds?
- And you just talked!

Ha-ha! I win!
No bubble potty for you, clowns.

Now, get me out!

But if you threw the almonds,
that means...

You cheated!

Oh, boo-hoo!

It's just a couple
of almonds.

Brazil nuts!

What!

Uh, well, I mean...

I wasn't gonna...

Not cool, bro.

Flippin' Brazil nuts?

They're not even mine! Those,
those are obviously Bernard's!

Aw, come on.
Just untie me.

Ah...

No!

Hush!

Oh. I am undone.

Yay, bubble potty!

Now this is the life.

You know, I'm proud of us.

We were so quiet.

Hi, guys, uh, mind if I join ya?

Mr. Handsome Toad!

Aww. Bubble potty.

I got it!

Yay, bubble potty!
I wonder how Mr. Rabbit is.

I feel bad
he lost the bet.

Uh! Oh, he's just fine!

Besides, I think he's got
some new friends to play with.

Help! Someone get me down!

Bernard!
