EVIL CACKLING ECHOES

Whoa! What happened here?

Badjelly, that's what.

This is the Knittyloo village,

but I don't see any Knittyloos.

They're long gone.

They were one of the first places she attacked.

I heard they'd cleared out and headed east.

Oh, that's awful. Those poor people.

Well, Thimbles, actually. They were people-ish, I suppose.

SIGHS Those poor people-ish people.

I used to come here with my mother when I was a boy.

Now there's no-one here.

Uh, yeah, there is.

Look.

Oh. He's more sheeple-ish, I guess.

Oh, hey there, little fella. What have you got there?

Well, I'd rather not say if it's all the same.

Not sure I want to share my little plunder with you lot.

Just looks like a bunch of burnt wool.

It is not.

It... It's something much less valuable,

I can assure you of that.

Like old rocks or something.

Oh, oh, oh... something very, very stink.

Well, it can't be that stink if you want it so bad.

Go on with ya.

I'm just a wee bit eccentric, that's all.

Like collecting worthless things. Is that so wrong?

Now, if you don't mind, I'll get back to it.

Move along, strangers.

Hm. Some real weirdos around here.

Back to bed, Mummy.

So when we get to Badjelly's castle,

I should probably take the lead, being the more experienced one.

I spent a good amount of time in that castle.

Speaking of weirdies, do we have to bring this one along?

You know, it wasn't so long ago that she had us all hung up -

about 20 minutes ago, if I'm not mistaken.

Well, being hung up is all part of the life of a banana.

Think you'd be excited to have had the experience -

even just a taste.

Just a ta... I have had-

When it comes to life experience, I've experienced it, OK?

Thank you. No more required.

Ooh, I could use some more. Can you teach me to be a banana?

Well, it takes a lot of skill.

A banana is one of the highest life forms, don't you know?

I didn't know that.

Guess I'll just have to stay a big tin lion for now.

I haven't got any skill yet.

I'll keep an eye out for some.

A big tin lion is all we need you to be, mate.

Oh, look, a crossroads. Dibs on choosing.

BRIGHT MUSIC

Ooh, look at you lot. ROCKS EXCLAIM

ROCK: I'm looking.

All right. Easy, guys. Don't freak them out.

We don't want to come off as desperate.

Oh. So, uh, what are you doing out this way?

Also, please stay and be our friend.

Please. Please. Pretty please?

Please. Pretty please.

The name's Signmon.

Well, nice to meet you, Simon.

ROCKS: Simon. No, no, no, no. This always happens. Every...

Sign-man. Signmon - couldn't be more normal.

Just Simon with an N. With an N.

Signmon.

Oh, good. No, that's much less ridiculous.

For a moment there, I thought your name was Simon.

Ha! Imagine that.

You're quite the eclectic posse.

Yeah, posse.

Why, thank you, kind sir. And how might you be?

Oh, thank you so much for asking.

If I'm honest, I'm at a bit of a crossroads.

Oh, no. Did you mean to say that?

Please don't... You know what? Don't even answer that.

Well, perhaps you can help me.

You see, to my left is this way, and to the right is that way.

Which way? Both ways.

What? So you see my problem?

No. Absolutely.

One way is a fun way,

and the other...

is faster,

uh, but less fun.

So which way is the best way? I'd say the fun way.

And which way is that? Uh, this way, I think.

Which way is this way? That way.

GROANS OK. We're heading to Badjelly's Castle.

Which way takes us there?

Both ways. ROCKS: Both ways.

But I would personally go...

this way.

Wait. I think I've got it.

That way. Is this way, and this way is left,

and left is the fun way.

It's left. We should go left. ROCK: Ooh. He might be right.

Then I think we should go right, the faster way.

"I agree with Rose,"

said Dinglemouse with slight uncertainty.

Well, in that case, I'm on Tim's side.

TENTATIVE MUSIC

Please, Rose. It'll be fun.

We can play my new game, Yelly Whispers.

Oh, what's Yelly Whispers?

Oh, it's amazing.

It's where you yell as loud as you can

about how quiet you're being.

CLEARS THROAT

SHOUTS: I know you can barely hear me,

but if you listen close,

you'll hear a gentle murmur!

That does look fun. Let me try.

INHALES DEEPLY

YELLS: I'm definitely yelling-uh!

Oh, great. Instant headache.

TENSE MUSIC

Nope. I've decided. We're going this way.

Lucy needs us, and we need to be more careful.

ROCK: You really should listen to us.

Fine. Great work, everyone.

Great work. Oh, yeah. Great.

We make a wonderful team. Yeah.

It's so nice to have a decision-maker in the group.

All right. You know, thanks so much for inviting me, you know.

Here I come. Here we go.

Just, um, here I...

GROANS, YELLS

He fell over. Oh, poor Signmon. Look at him.

Hey, don't pity me.

All right, you guys go ahead. I'll catch up.

I'm just gonna lay here in the mud.

It was all part of the plan.

I actually prefer it in the mud, if I'm honest.

I love you.

MYSTERIOUS MUSIC

FROGS CROAK

CROAKS

The Fwomp Swamp.

Signmon was right. This way is less fun.

But it's the faster way. Let's just keep moving.

We don't want to be here any longer than we need to be.

Whoa, listen to this sound. SWISH

Ooh, it is an awesome sound. TIM: Flap, flap.

Flap. TIM: Flap, flap.

OMINOUS MUSIC

Huh. I think I can see a way through up there,

towards the mountain.

It's a straight path through the swamp.

OK, stick to the path.

We do this right, and we'll be at the castle in no time.

GRUNTS

Whoa! Did you see that?

So strong, so powerful.

LAUGHS Yeah. OK. Stay close, Tim.

LAUGHS

Whoo! LAUGHS

Whoa! Settle down there, beast!

SOMBRE MUSIC

Whoo!

We're doing great. You've got this.

PLODDING MUSIC

Oh, Dulboot,

that's lovely.

Oh, isn't this relaxing?

MOOS

It's just so nice to have found an intellectual equal,

you know?

Just don't get this kind of girl time.

Excusez-moi, ladies. CHUCKLES

But, um, are you sure there isn't something else

I can help you with?

You know, something away from bath time, perhaps.

Count yourself lucky, Dulboot.

It's either this or give you the day off.

Ew. Imagine how bored you'd be.

GASPS, COUGHS

What are you doing? Are you nuts?

What the... Oh, I don't remember enchanting you.

It was last week, remember?

You said you needed someone to check the mole on your back.

Oh, and no new developments there, by the way.

It's all still very disturbing.

Well, that's a relief.

While I have you,

word around the castle is you're looking for two kids

for some kind of evil ritual thing, yeah?

Evil?

Excuse me!

Oh, that's so nice of you to say.

Yeah, well, there's two kids hanging out

with a bunch of do-gooders at the Fwomp Swamp.

Thought maybe you could nab those.

The Fwomp Swamp?

That's not far.

Let's have a look!

EXCLAIMS EXCITEDLY

OMINOUS MUSIC

The Fwomp Swamp.

What a perfectly horrible place to find them.

I should probably put some clothes on. Drat it.

CROAKS

Oh!

Oh, look at that. It's...

cute?

Oh, isn't it amazing?

Look at the holes. I could fit my arm in there.

GAGS Gross. Please don't.

Shall I hug it?

I probably should, right?

Or poke it with a stick.

Oh, nope. I'm not sure either of those are a good idea.

You said yourself it's cute.

We should give it a try.

It might hug back.

GROANS

Oh, I can't tell if this is a good or a bad thing.

Probably good, right?

Yeah, I don't think so.

Oh.

What on earth are you two doing over there?

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Ugh.

CROAKS

That was so cool. It's a giant frog that makes more frogs.

Do you think these little ones grow into big ones

that make other big ones?

What's that one doing?

Uh-oh.

We need to go.

FROGS CROAK

CROAKS

FROGS CROAK

We should definitely go.

Ugh, what's that smell?

ROSE: Tim!

Uh, Rose?

Binklebonk?

I can't see you guys.

Tim, where are you?

TIM: Rose!

Tim?

Come to my voice.

Uh, Rose?

Rose?

What is this? Where is everyone?

Binklebonk? Are you there?

Rusty? Are Tim and Rose with you?

Where is everyone? Can anyone see or hear me?

Can everyone please stop yelling?

Binklebonk!

Oh, Binklebonk!

Excuse me.

You have to cradle the head when you pick up a goblin.

Ooh, I'm not losing you again.

All right, we have to find the others.

I just can't think with all the yelling.

All right? How's my head.

Oh, that's it. It's the yelling.

The frogs don't like the noise.

Everyone, stop yelling! We have to be quiet.

Oh, these people.

The fog will go away if we stop yelling.

UPLIFTING MUSIC

Rose, I found you.

Uh, do you mind putting me down now?

Oh, sorry.

Gentle. Cradle the head. Cradle... There we go.

CALM MUSIC

SCARY MUSIC

GROANS These little brats are actually succeeding.

Well, that's enough of that.

I'll bring them right to me with a little dizzle-dazzle.

Right. Jibble, jobble, jabby. We'll be grabby-grabby.

Oh! Come on.

Come on, stupid magic.

Don't you mess with me.

GRUNTS, YELLS

Hey, now we're talking.

Let's see them escape this one. LAUGHS

RUMBLING

Oh, what now?

RUMBLING

SCARY MUSIC

Run!

Oh!

SCARY MUSIC

ALL GRUNT, GASP

Stay together.

I recognise those spindly fingers. It's Badjelly.

I'm not sure that's a good idea. They're enormous.

Let me go, pixie. I can take her.

How dare you? I'm no pixie.

All right. Maybe later, when she's normal size.

OK. Stay close. We have to find a way out of here.

Whoa, whoa.

Remind me, whose idea was it to go this way?

Maybe not the time to argue, Binklebonk.

Oh!

GRUNTS

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Over there.

Do you think they're gone? For now.

CROAKS BOTH: Ah!

We have to be extra quiet.

These frogs will give us away.

Quickly! This way, before she sees us.

TENSE MUSIC

DARK MUSIC

Get down!

You saved us.

Not quite. Look.

We might be done for.

Hey!

Leave my friends and Dinglemouse alone.

HEROIC MUSIC

GROWLS

MUSIC DESCENDS

That was amazing. Thank you. You're most welcome.

Rusty helped out a little bit,

but I think you'll find, of course, I did the lion's share.

Oh! How ironic.

Hm?

Oh, gosh, that hurt.

Ow... Getting a bit of a cramp too.

The old RSI coming back, I think.

Dulboot!

Give me a massage, will you?

This isn't working!

Dulboot!

Oh, what is that oaf up to?

I don't know, I think you need to start talking to your reps.

Sounds like a toxic work environment, TBH.

Oh, no, no, I don't think so.

No, she's just, you know,

moody, really.

Well, your loss, pal.

If it were me, I'd be straight on the phone.

He's probably biting his titanic toenails.

What a goober.

GROANS

SIGHS

Good thing I'm so flexible.

This is hard on the old knuckles.

HUMS

Oh.

This is a nightmare.

How are we supposed to get Lucy back now?

We'll figure it out. It's kind of fun, really.

It is not fun.

It was your messing around that got us into this mess.

No way! You wanted to go this way. You didn't listen.

No, you... Shh!

EERIE MUSIC

CREAKING

TENSE MUSIC

Children! I know you're here!

Come out and see old Auntie Badjelly.

I'm so much fun.

TENSE MUSIC

Ooh!

Ooh. Hang on.

I see you, curly-haired girl.

And now you're mine!

Huh, looks like broccoli.

Ah!

EERIE MUSIC

It's been quiet for a while.

Do you think those horrible hands are gone?

I doubt it. That nasty witch can't be trusted.

What does she even want?

Oh, here we go.

Hello there.

It's just me, a regular person who wants to get to know others.

Come on out. Let's have a chat and a biscuit or something.

She seems nice.

I'd love to try a biscuit.

Oh, right, evil witch hand. Oops.

Should we just leave her to...

HUMS, CHUCKLES

..whatever that is she's doing.

UNSETTLING MUSIC

FROGS CROAK

We've got to find the others and get out of here.

Easy. What?

Found 'em.

Oh! You're OK...

WHISPERS: It's so good to see you.

CURIOUS MUSIC

FROGS CROAK

Oh, I've got it - Yelly Whispers.

We have to play my game. Now's not the time, Tim.

This is exactly the time. Just stop.

No, you're not listening to me.

That's because you're being childish.

This isn't a game, Tim. But it should be.

TENSE MUSIC

Uh, guys?

Rose!

YELLS, GRUNTS

Oops. That was a bit dark.

I might have killed that husky little boy.

I could have ruined the spell if I didn't kill him

at exactly sunrise.

CHUCKLES

Oh, phew. Thank goodness.

Looks like he's just knocked out.

Oh, no. Tim!

Tim.

Oh, please wake up.

Please.

I'm so sorry, Tim.

SNIFFS Please.

SOBS Oh, what have I done?

SNIFFS, SOBS

WHOOSH

Yelly Whispers. What? No.

You're having a laugh, aren't you?

Tim's game. We have to play Yelly Whispers.

It's the only way out.

She can't hurt us if she can't see us.

SIGHS

Everyone,

yell as loud as you can about how quiet you're being.

CHUCKLES Oh, yes!

And stick together.

I really can't believe how quiet I'm being.

Oh, it's crazy. I'm like a quiet little mouse.

I too am like a mouse,

but mostly like a very quiet banana.

I'm being super loud again.

What a noisy guy I am.

All right, let's get involved.

CLEARS THROAT I'm one of the quietest people I know.

I would never yell and scream or do any of that sort of carry on.

My friends and I are making no noise at all.

Not a peep.

You hear me?

TRIUMPHANT MUSIC

ANTICLIMACTIC MUSIC

Ugh. Gross. COUGHS

What is this? It stinks. COUGHS

Dulboot, wave a tea towel or something.

This is gonna set off the smoke alarm. COUGHS

Get it away from me!
