[Frogs croaking] Home!

Home? Home!

Home! Home?

- Could be around any corner. - # tra-la-la-la #

♪ tra-la-la-la ♪ [gasps]

Hey, captain, do you hear that singing?

[Croaks] Not you, skipper.

I'm talking to the captain. [Croaks]

Captain Wirt, do you know who's singing?

I don't know much of anything anymore.

Oh. Did you know that dinosaurs had

big ears but everyone forgot 'cause dinosaur ears

- don't have bones? - No. I ... I didn't know that, Greg.

That's 'cause it's not true.

- It's a rock fact! - # Tra-La-La-La #

The beast. It must be the beast out there.

The obsidian cricket of our inevitable twilight

- singing our requiem. - Hmm. Yeah!

Must be a really fat cricket. [Thuds]

[Gasps] [bugle plays]

Look! We've reached land! Feel the dirt!

Ahh. Smell that tree. We must be almost there.

- Greg? - Yes, Wirt?

Can we please stop pretending we're gonna get home?

- Huh? - Can we admit we're lost for good?

That this fog is deeper than we can ever understand?

That we are but wayward leaves,

scattered to the air by an indifferent wind?

Can we just admit we're never gonna get back home, Greg?

- Can we do that? - Wirt, you can do anything if

you set your mind to it. That's what the old people say.

- Well, then let's do that. - Yes, sir, captain!

[Bugle plays] Greg!

You need to stop acting ridiculous all the time.

- Huh? - Look, do you even know why

we got lost in the first place?

It's 'cause you were goofing around and

- getting into trouble like you always do. - Really? It was all my fault?

Yeah, so... it's not my job to get us home, okay?

- I'm done. - Are you saying I should

- be the leader? - I don't care what you do.

But if I'm the leader... what are you gonna be?

- I'll be asleep. - Wow.

Well, then I better take a nap, too.

I need to dream up a good way of leading us home.

Thanks for trusting me, Wirt. Don't worry.

I won't let you down. I'll be a good leader.

Good night. [Breathes deeply]

Star, oh, star, up in the sky, guide my dreams

with light that shines. Help me know just what to do

to get Wirt home and also me, too.

And if you don't, I don't care. I'll pull down your underwear.

[Cheers and applause]

- Huh? - Why, hello, Gregory.

- Hello. - I am the Queen of the Clouds.

- Thank you for saving my city. - You're welcome.

I shall grant you one wish. What do you wish

- for most of all? - Well, I'm supposed to be

the leader, but I don't know how to get home.

- Do you know? - Of course.

If you wish, I can certainly send you home.

Great! Let's go get Wirt.

I'm sorry, Gregory, but Wirt cannot go with you.

- He is too lost. - [Gasps] But... anything is

possible if you set your mind to it, right?

See how the edelwood grows around him?

The beast has claimed him already.

Oh, I should have been leading better.

I was goofing off again, like always, and now

you're stuck here. Isn't there anything I can do?

I'm sorry, Gregory. Wirt's fate lies solely

in the beast's hands now.

Then I know what to wish for.

[Whispering] [Gasps]

Are you sure?

Then it shall be done.

[Ting!]

- Hey. Hey, Wirt? - Shh! Trying to sleep.

Okay. You sleep. I'm sorry I got us lost, Wirt.

Will you take care of Ronald for me?

Okay. I have to go now.

- Goodbye, Wirt. - Man: Yes. Come, Gregory.

- There is much to be done. - And then you'll show us

- the way home, right? - Of course.

We made a promise, didn't we?

[chuckles] Greg. Greg?

Greg? Greg?!

- Where did he go? - # Tra-La-La-La #

No. No, no, no, no! Greg?!

[Grunting] What the heck?

Greg... What did I do?

Greg! Greg!

Aah! Unh!

[Groans] [Speaking indistinctly]

[Gasps] Huh? Greg.

Oof! Aah!

[Groaning]

Woman: Oh! You got him!

Pull! Pull! Is he alive?

- Wirt! - Wirt! Wirt?

- Gr...eg...? - Wirt, are you okay?

- Wirt! - Gr...eg? I-I-I ...

- Where's Greg, Wirt? - Beatrice?

[Shuddered breathing]

Wirt. Wirt!
