The Mighty Ones (2020–2022): Season 1, Episode 8 - Twig for a Day/Eternal Day - full transcript

Ah!

Don't worry, we got this. Hmm!

- Uh, actually...
- Uh! There.

Uh! I'd prefer not to be...

No, no. You
gotta go lengthwise like this.

Wait, ow!

There!
Ugh! If you're finished...

That's good, Berry,
but you're missing
a crucial step.

- Come on!
- You gotta pack it in!

Oh!
Yeah! Nice Twig-work Rocksy.

All done!
This will surely hold forever.



I still don't understand
how this happened.

Dolphin dive! One, two...

Now what we really need
is to slather

some kind of gross sticky goo
all over this dam.

You know, to, uh, seal it in.

Twig'd be great
for slathering.

No! I would not!

I am done
with the gosh-darn damming!

Aw, don't say that.

You're doing
such a great job, bro.

Plus, we've to do this right.

If the ground gets too wet,
the under-beasts will come.

Oh!

Can't someone else
take care of it?



But your body
is the perfect shape,

you're rigid,
you're durable...

Without you,
we couldn't have put
that dam together!

That's the thing!

You guys are using me,
not appreciating me!

Oh!

He's upset because we
are done with the dam.

Hey, don't worry, little guy,
we'll find another use for you.

Hey, guys,
I found this gross goo
seeping up from the ground.

Twig, get over here,
so I can touch it with you.

See?
Nothing to worry about.

Wow! You guys
really don't understand me
at all, do you?

If you could live in my bark
for a day, then you'd see!

Twig, I'm sorry
we're upsetting you so much.

I guess we don't really get
what it's like to be Twig.

Oh! Wait, wait, wait, wait!
What if we're all Twig?

But I'm Leaf.

Okay,
so how are we gonna do this?

Do we like literally strip off
his bark and wear it?

Uh-uh.

No, but we
can do the next best thing!

Uh!

Looking like Twig
isn't enough, guys.

We must practice being Twig!

Hello, fellows,
it is I, Twig.

Boy, I sure do love
touching yucky stuff!

And, um, damming things?

That doesn't sound like me.

That doesn't look safe
to consume, Berry.

Maybe you should take that out
of your mouth, Berry.

Don't eat other berries,
that's cannibalism, Berry.

Okay, that is a little like me.

Ha, ha! Leaf, your turn!

R-R-R-R-R-R-R-Racing.

Seriously?

You're my brother,
you should know me best!

I zoned out a while ago,
what are we doing again?

We're gonna study Twig all day,

so that we
can understand him better!

Oops, sorry,
Twig probably wouldn't do that.

He'd probably like, uh, cry?

Guys, you
seriously don't have to do this.

I get what you're trying to do,

but I'm not sure it'll help me
feel appreciated.

And in order to under...

Are you Twig or am I Twig?

'Cause I can't tell.

But, Twig, it will help!
If we understand you,

we'll understand
how to make you feel better!

Or we'll understand ourselves

because we'll all be Twig?
Hmm.

Ugh! Fine,
but if we're gonna do this,
we're gonna do it right!

I'll show you guys
what it really means to be Twig!

But I'm Leaf.

I'm going
to run you through a day

in the life of Twig.
Lucky you.

Pay attention,
it gets pretty exciting.

Hush! Go on.

Ahem, yes.
So I wake up early every day

and perform
some gentle calisthenics.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Then I take
a leisurely nature walk.

Observe, the unobtrusive beauty
of the wood anemone.

- Tag you.
- Tag you back.

Nature!

I tend to my collection
of whimsical figurines.

- Aw, sorry!
- Oh, dang. Sorry.

Aw, dip.

Ah, me again.

Fear me!

Why...

And I like to finish the day
with a nice, relaxing soak

in my mud puddle.

Cannonball!

Nope! We just float. Quietly.

- Let's bail.
- No, this is important!

We hurt our friend
and, by golly,

we're gonna fix things.

So I guess you're saying
we should stick with it?

- Yes, we should.
- Okay.

- Woof!
- Uh!

You know, around this time,

we're usually on some kind
of crazy adventure,

but now that you guys
are trying to be me,

everything is super chill.

Under-beast!

Uh! Let's stop this fool
from gooping everything up!

Yeah!
Get ready to suffer, worm!

Actually, guys,
sorry to be a nag,

but that's not exactly how Twig
would handle this situation.

- Oh, right. We're Twig.
- Oh, um...

What would Twig do
in this situation?

Sit tight and let someone else
take care of it.

Oh...

Yeah, that's right!

Okay, we'll just,
um, sit on down right here.

Oh, hello there, Miss.

Whoa! Ooh.

Ooh, mmm.

Wow!

See? If you don't react,
everything will work out.

Yeah, guess you're right.

Huh, we're getting pretty good
at this!

I'm inclined to agree, Twig!

Uh, yeah.
Ugh! Same, me too.

Things have only just begun!

Now that you guys understand me
on a surface level,

you must learn
what it feels like inside Twig!

Come, come hither.
Oh, look, gross sticky worm goo.

I need something
with which to touch it.

Twig, do you like that?

Surprisingly, no.
No, I did not.

And, Twig,
how do you feel right now?

I feel like a tool,
but in a bad way!

Now you guys get me!

Huh?

Twig! We're so sorry!

We'll never use you
as a tool again!

Honestly and truly!

I felt so used
being picked up like that.

I felt
like I wanted approval so badly

that I put up with it,
but I didn't like that.

Why are you guys
talking like Twig?

Because that's how
we really felt.

Also, being like Twig

is what we've been doing
all day.

Oh, yeah!

How's about we, uh, go relax
in your mud puddle for a while?

I'd like that, fellow Twig!

Yeah, I think I'm going to like
having only Twigs around.

Huh?

He's tapped out! It's okay,
Twig, just wait it out.

Someone else will come along
to save the--

No, no, no, no!
Mr. Ladybug, wake up!

Aw, dip.

Huh? What's going on?

Guys, the dam's failing,
what do we do?

Oh! Oh! I know this one.

We wait for someone else
to fix it.

- Sounds good to me.
- Oh, right.

Uh!

Ugh! It looks like,
I gotta take charge.

Uh...

There!
This feels so wrong,

but, dang it,
they're the perfect shape.

Ew, gross, ew. Okay.

Wait.

The last leak!
But I'm all out of sticks!

Should we like swim
to the side or something?

Nah, Twig's a floater,
not a swimmer.

Oh, yeah, good call.

Oh, no! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Huh!

We stopped? But how?

Look!

Twig, you saved us!

Hey, yeah, I guess I did!

My body was the right shape
and it was durable enough.

Turns out I can take
a lot of punishment.

That's what we've been saying!
You're irreplaceable!

But from now on, we'll do
a better job letting you know

how much we appreciate you.

Aw, thanks.
You guys really get me.

Aw, you can go back
to being yourselves now.

Leaf, you can take off
that dumb fake mustache now.

Ah!

Group hug!

Yay!

If you guys, just...

- Yay
- Uh, now what?

Okay, are you recording?

Time for Dolphin Dive Mach 2.0.

And...

there!

What're you doing
with my sun lamps?

My plants were growing
so strong with them.

The Night Snatcher's back.

What! He's back?

Yeah, he's stolen
like ten grills from us.

What d'you think
the Night Snatcher
does with all those grills?

Nobody knows.

- Uh!
- There!

Everyone knows
the Night Snatcher

only snatches at night.

We keep those on 24/7
and our grills are safe.

What's happening?
Why's it so bright?

Daytime already?

Huh, What?
But didn't the sun just set?

Ugh,
how much sleep was that even?

Uh, guys?
Why are there three suns now?

Three suns?

I've always wanted three sons,
but this is ridiculous!

Can sticks even have kids?

I don't like 'em.
They're making me feel squiggy.

Squiggy? Nah,
they're making me feel awesome.

Whoo? Whoa!

Oh!

- Yes!
- Father.

- What? Bro.
- What? Uh, what?

I wonder
if the suns will improve me.

Oh! Oh! Whoa! Yes!

Oh, a third arm?
Ah. Quit. Ow.

Oh!
I've got some new growth too!

What about me, guys?
Am I growing?

Berry! Uh!
What is happening to us?

- Ow!
- Twig! Uff!

Okay, I'm just too tired
to focus right now.

Let's all get some sleep
and then we'll figure out
how to fix this.

Sounds good.

Surely it'll be
nighttime soon...

Ow! Ah!
It has to be.

It won't stop growing.
Why won't it stop growing?

Berry's right.
We can't live like this.

Once I get sleep,
I can come up with a plan.

Who needs sleep?
I feel amazing.

Have you guys noticed
how ripped I've gotten?

We have.

Hey. I'm Carder.
This is my gang or whatever.

Wow.

Nice muscles.
Not that I care about muscles.

Uh, yeah, thanks, bro.

Yeah, I mean
I guess they are pretty sweet.

Hmm.
You gonna pump with us or what?

Uh, yeah?
Let's get our pump on, huh?

Must. Sleep.

This sunlight is amazing.

Sunlight?

Sunlight bad.

Must. Destroy. Suns.

Must. Destroy. Suns.

Must. Destroy. Suns.

I will destroy the three suns.
Restore the balance!

Save my friends.

It begins!
Must destroy suns.

Slow down you two.

Man, I never thought
I could get this fit.

- I did.
- Oh.

Oh, I meant me,
I knew I could do it.

Uh! I mean, you're coming along
pretty well too.

Oh. Uh, thanks! Heh.

Okay.

Maybe if we
combine our strengths

and dig a hole we could,
whoa! Ow!

Uh! We could hide
from the suns.

Hey! I need you
to stay positive, Berry!

Berry, quick.

I need you, ow,
to help me, ow! Berry!

Must destroy suns.

Hello, small creature.

- What is it you seek?
- You say "sleep"?

Uh, no, seek.

Oh. Sleep would be nice.

Sleep would show suns
who's boss.

Ah, yes!
The three suns of Back-Perch.

To find what you must,
travel deep into the...

Oh.

Shroud man not suns.
Must destroy suns.

Find the council of Bucketopia!

Hmm, Bucketopia, here I come.

I've never felt
this close to anyone before.
- Lay down.

It just seems
like you really get me.

Catch me. Uh!

Uh! I hope the sun never sets.

The only setting
you should be worried about
is setting some personal bests.

You've really
leveled off recently.

Whoa, pretty brutal, bro.

My old friends
were never that harsh.

Ooh!

Oh!

Aw!

Hmm...

Yip-yip!

No.

Hey, have you
noticed Rocksy's gone?

Yeah, you're right.
Probably somewhere having fun.

Pony!

Rocksy's always having
so much fun.

I'm coming for ya, suns.

So, what's the deal
with those yuckos
you hang out with?

- They're not even fit.
- You mean my friends?

- Friends?
- Yeah, friends.

Like the people
you spend time with, have fun,

share your experiences with,
talk about your feelings--

Don't say the f-word around me!

The f-word?
What, you mean feelings?

I mean, c'mon,
everyone has feelings.

Don't you dare.

This body is 98 percent muscle.
One percent water.

Like, one percent plant junk
and cero percent gross stuff.

It's time to do burpees!

Huh.

Wha...?

Buck-et-opia.

Uh! Ah!

Mm. Mossy granite.

Please come forward.

Hmm. Rats help Rock.

What is it you desire?

Total destruction of the suns.

First you must defeat...

the Rat King.

I accept the challenge!

Huh!
No single rat can defeat me!

Foolish child.

To defeat me, you must solve
my devious riddle.

Oh, a riddle?

Yeah, okay, okay,
yeah, that's cool I guess.

What is my true name?

Uh...

the, the Rat King?

Wrong!
For I am the Rat Ki--

Oh, correct.
You pass the test.

Oh, hey, neat!

Now come, child.
Huddle amongst us.

Do what?

We shall whisper to you the way

to bring night-time
back to your land.

Huh?

Uh.

What's up? Uff...

Hey, uh...

You need a hand?

No! No more hands.

Hey, Leaf,
whatcha got over there?

It's a high five machine!
- Good job, Leaf.

You finally found
a use for these losers.

Hey! He's not a loser,
he's my brother!

You gonna get a piece
of this or what?

- Uh, I...
- Hi five. Hi five...

Help me.

Hey!
Stop high-fiveing my friend!

Ew. Why should we?

Because I've been to Bucketopia.

And I've solved
the Rat King's riddle!

And then I was given the secret
while being...

Huddle among us!

So many rats.

That's enough talk
about Bucketopia.

The good news is that if we
throw something hard enough,

we can totally destroy the suns!

- What? Don't you dare.
- Hey, man, hear her out.

I'm not gonna let her
ruin calf muscles like these.

Now, step aside.

Easy. Easy!

Boppo! Wheezy! You take--

You take care of the other two
while I finish off this rock.

Okay, everyone,
let's settle down.

Maybe go back to having fun?

I'm having a blast.

Me too!

I love being tough!

Uh! Yay!

Wha...

No.

There you have it,
majority rules. Uh!

Nobody picks
on my friends but me!

Y'all are dumb!

Or whatever.

Ugh...

Leaf? Ah! Leaf!

You gave up your strength
for us!

Ugh. I've always wanted
muscles so strong,

I could throw people
into the sun,

and I finally did it.

Rest now, sweet angel.

Hmmm.

Hey, why are the lights out?

The grill's been snatched!
Night snatcher!
