* One, two *
* Don't call us freaks of nature *
* We're more than sticks and stones *
* This life has more to offer *
* Than you'll find on your own *
* You haven't seen us lately *
* We're underestimated *
* We may look small and delicate *
* No, no, no, no, no! *
* We are the Mighty Ones! *
* Together we feel so strong *
* You better get to know us *
* We are the Mighty Ones! **
(Twig) Oh Twig, you're so cool.
You're the life of the party!
Oh, why, thank you, I do get invited to a lot of parties.
It's no party unless it's a Twig party!
Oh stop.
Are any of the parties not with inanimate objects
that you're doing voices for?
Uh... no. No they're not.
Aw, forget it then, we're gonna bounce.
Oh, Twig. You're so lonely.
Huh? Earthquake?
Ah! Zombies?
-(Factual Cicada) Whaddup -(Cicada) Ha, ha. Hey, whaddup?
(Twig) Cool people!
(Cody) Good morning party people!
Who's ready to swarm?
(cheering)
Hey, man, you wanna come swarm with us?
(Twig) Swarm?
(Cody) Ha! Don't be scared! Swarm equals party.
You trying to party with us or what?
(Twig) Okay, be cool, Twig.
You've never been invited to a party before.
Here's your chance, just say yes!
All you have to do is say yes!
No, thanks.
Oh, well done. Nailed it. Bravo.
(Cody) Dude, what? Really?
When is the next time you're gonna be invited
to a cicada party?
(Cicada) I dunno. Probably another 17 years?
(Factual Cicada) Factual!
(Cicadas) Party! Party! Party!
(Cody) Come on, man.
You only swarm once.
(Twig) Mmm, I'm typically indecisive...
(Cody) I said. You only swarm once!
(gasp)
(Twig) But I'm easily persuaded. I'm in!
(groaning)
(all) Bored...
(Rocksy) Is that a party?
(Leaf) How did we not get invited to a party?
(Berry) Yeah! We're like, the coolest people in the yard!
(Rocksy) We gotta go!
(Cicada rocker) Alright, cicadas! Y'all ready to party?
(Cicadas) Yes!
(Rocksy) Why didn't anyone tell us about this?
Whoa, what the?
(Berry) Is that an egg?
(Cicada) Hold that for me, yeah?
(Rocksy) Okay?
(Cicada) Thanks. You only swarm once!
Yeah!
(Berry) Whoa! These dudes are hardcore.
(Rocksy) Maybe too hardcore.
(Leaf) Well, it's a good thing Twig's not here, right?
He could not hang.
(Twig) Hey, everyone, look!
I'm literally hanging from this thing!
(all) What?
(Leaf) Huh! I guess he can hang.
(Factual Cicada) Factual!
-(Twig) Woo! -(Rocksy) Leaf, rescue flute!
(Leaf) I'm on it!
(blowing)
(Leaf) Toot!
(Twig) Yeah!
(Cody) Whoa, dog!
Mad air, man!
(Twig) Actually, it was more like happy air.
Since I was having so much fun.
(Rocksy groaning)
(Twig) Oh, hey, Rocksy.
When did you get here?
Meet my bro Cody. He's "da bomb".
(Cody) What? No, me? No! You're the bomb, stunt man.
You gotta get back in there, bro!
(Twig) Tap me in, my man!
Oh! Thank you!
(clears throat)
(Rocksy) Excuse me, hi, hey, Cody, right?
Do you mind taking it easy on Twig?
I'm kind of worried about him.
(Cody) Oh, what, take it easy on your friend?
Why, cuz you're, you're just so worried about him?
(Rocksy) Hey, man, I'm just trying to make sure
my friend survives this party.
(Cody) No one survives this party!
-(Leaf) Whoa! -(Rocksy) What?
(Cody) Let me break it down for you.
We sleep for seventeen years,
gathering our strength before we rise from the dirt.
And then we partake in a one-day total rager.
And then we bury our eggs and return to the dust.
(Cicada) Rock on!
(Cody) And then our party spirits immortalize
within the next generation and the cycle continues.
You see? Do you get it? It's awesome!
(Rocksy) No, I am not into it!
Twig is not a cicada, and his "party spirit"
is not going be reborn in the next swarm!
(Cody) Op, here we go.
Looks like we got some vibe-killers over here!
(Cicadas) Boo!
(Cody) Alright, come on, everyone,
let's move this party two feet to the left.
(Leaf) I'm... a vibe-killer?
(Berry) Wait, so basically they party so hard
cause it's their last day on earth?
(Leaf) Yeah, but don't forget the part where
they're immortalized by the spirit of partying.
(Berry) Oh yeah, that part.
(both) Tight.
(Rocksy) No, not tight!
Twig has no idea what this party's actually about.
(Berry) Well I guess we better warn him.
(Rocksy) Where is Twig anyway?
(all) What?
(Twig) Now it's my turn to jump!
(all) No!
(Twig) Here we go! Woo-hoo!
(Rocksy) Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
(Twig) Woo!
(Rocksy) Leaf, pillow ball!
(Leaf) I'm on--
(bounce)
(cicadas cheering)
Twig! Twig! Twig! Twig! Twig! Twig! Twig!
(Cody) This guy is crazy, right?
(Cicada rocker) Oi, everyone! Let's open up this pit!
(cicadas cheering)
(Rocksy) Oh, boy.
(Twig) Aw, yeah! Ring around the rosie!
(Berry) We gotta get him outta there!
(Rocksy) Be careful!
Berry! Oh, no!
Leaf, nag from above!
(Leaf) Ok, I'm on it. Whoosh.
Twig, stop it, man. Twig, Twig!
(Cody) Alright, let's get this ball going!
(Cicadas) Yeah!
(Leaf) Oh, no. Ow, ow, ow, ow.
-(Rocksy) Leaf! -(Cicada) Kick pile! Yeah!
(Rocksy screaming)
(Cicada) Everyone's getting wrecked.
(Factual Cicada) Factual!
(Twig) Ta-Da!
(cicadas cheering)
Oh, my! Thank you!
(Berry) Twig...
Please, please, please stop partying...
(Leaf) Our bodies...
can't keep this up much longer.
(Twig) Stop partying?
But I'm having such a great time with my "dogs"!
(Rocksy) "Dogs?" Twig, don't you get it?
This party is too dangerous for you!
(Twig) Pshh, then how come I'm not the one getting hurt?
(Cody) Oooooh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, no!
You did not just say that!
Oh look at her! Look at her, she's getting mad!
Look how mad she's getting!
(Rocksy fuming with anger)
(Cicadas) Twig! Twig! Twig! Twig! Twig!
(Rocksy) Ugh! Party Twig is the worst!
How do we get him to listen to us?
(Leaf) I dunno, maybe it's time to accept that Twig
being cool has taken away any meaning you've had in your life.
Gah, it's worthless.
(Berry) Aw, it's okay, Leaf.
You just have to throw everything away
and take on a new identity.
(Rocksy) New identity? Oh! That's it!
(Berry) Rocksy, these cicada disguises
are so convincing!
Where did you get them?
(Rocksy) Uhh...
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
(Cicada) Why, look. We have shed our old exoskeletons,
allowing the soft one underneath to swell in size and harden.
This natural process is called molting.
(Factual Cicada) Factual!
(Rocksy) The...
Cicada costume store.
Yeah, that's it.
(Leaf) There's Twig!
(Twig dancing)
(Rocksy) Ah, hello there,
we are actual, real cicadas!
(Twig) Oh, hi, I'm Twig.
But you can call me Party Twig, cuz I party.
(Leaf) Do you want to try some extra radical
cicada party games?
(Twig) Totallilly dilly!
That means "totally."
(Leaf) Ugh... You are so cool.
(Twig) Yes, I ama-lama-rama.
(Leaf) Just come with us. Now.
(Twig) Twig! Twig! Twig!
(Ben) 371, 372,
373, 374...
(Leaf) Isn't watching Ben brush his beard totally awesome?
(Berry) And so safe!
(Ben) 375, 376, 377, 378...
(impatient grumbling)
(firework explosions)
(TWIG) Uh! I wanna go back to the wild party.
(Ben) Three-hundred and--
(Cody) Woo-hoo-hoo!
(Twig) Whoa! Cody!
(Cody) Whew! Twig?
What are you doing here with these lame-os?
(Twig) See, Cody gets it. Being safe is lame!
I'm going back to the party with Cody.
(Cody) First of all, great choice.
Second of all, right on, dude. Party Twig!
-(Berry) Wait! No, please! -(Leaf) Dude, hold up!
(Twig) No! Let me go!
Ah! Oh, no! I'm so sorry.
Hey! Wait, Rocksy?
(Rocksy) Heh... uh, hi.
(Twig) Wait a second.
Leaf!
Berry!
And this must be Mr. Ladybug!
(Factual Cicada screaming)
(Twig) Oh! Oh! Ah, oh, no, I'm so sorry!
(Rocksy) Twig, we can explain!
(Twig) I can't believe how far you guys would go
to stop me from being cool!
(Rocksy) We were trying to be good friends
and-and keep you safe.
(Berry) Yeah, these guys are a bag of nuts.
(Twig) I know they're a bag of nuts!
Cody has been totally open about that.
(Cody) Before joining, everyone signs a release form.
(Rocksy) Alright, Twig, alright, fair enough.
We won't stand in your way anymore.
Enjoy being cool.
(Twig) Thank you. I will enjoy being cool.
(Cody) Twig, I am moved by your dedication
to the spirit of this party.
(Twig) Well, party bros before lame-os.
(Cody) You are so wise.
Come here, I wanna show you something.
(Twig) Sure!
Huh. Looks like the party's dying down.
(Factual Cicada) Factual.
(Twig) Oh, yeah, I've been meaning to ask,
what's with all the cicada eggs?
(Cody) That's what it's all about, man. Check it!
(Cicada) It's been real man, I hope my offspring party
half as hard as you!
(Cody) Hey, no worries, bra! It's been fun!
They just need a cool party guy like Twig
to keep it jumping, right?
(Cicada) Word. Well, see ya on the other side!
(cicadas dying)
(Twig) What the...
(Cody) Ha-ha, yah, well, you know what they say!
It's not a cicada party 'til you're lying face-down
in the ground, dead.
Yup, dug this baby up right here.
Not too bad if I do say so myself.
(Twig) So, does this mean the party's over?
(Cody) Yeah, well, you only swarm once!
But don't worry, in 17 years these little dudes
will emerge and start it up all over again.
(Twig) Aw, gee, I wish I could be around for that.
(Cody) Oh, you will.
(Twig) Wah! Woah!
(Cody) Thanks, bro.
Show 'em what it's all about, okay?
I love you, man.
(Twig) Wait, wait...
(Cody) It helps if you close your mouth.
(Twig) Wait, what? Cody? C-Cody?
Help! H-Help me! Help!
(Berry) Man, that guy's so cool.
(Bats) Hey, Samosa, h-how are the decorations coming?
(Samosa) I stayed up all night
working on this sweet mural, and it's finally done.
My masterpiece!
(Bats) Whoa, that's pretty sick.
Kensington, what about the pyrotechnic show?
(Kensington) This is gonna blow everyone away!
Ah!
Totally safe, ready to rock!
(Bats) Great!
And I'm in charge of refreshments.
Now we just need a little bit of ambiance!
(bat screech)
(Samosa) Yah, I gotcha covered.
Check this out!
(electrical buzzing)
Whoa, cosmic!
(Bats) This is gonna be the best house show ever!
(all cheering)
(Twig) Space. What are you?
What vast mysteries do you hold within your web of stars?
Are you but giant balls of gas?
Or wise, ancient, celestial guardians,
helping to guide lost travelers home?
(Leaf) Ugh, celestial guardians?
Twig, you promised us this wasn't gonna be lame.
(Twig) Uh, is this lame?
(Berry) Whoa, what?
(Leaf) No way!
(Twig) Yep, and with just a few more delicate adjustments,
she'll be ready to...
Hey! I didn't say you could touch it!
(Leaf) Bro.
You built me my very own meditation yurt?
(Twig) It's not a yurt, you ding-dong!
It's a rocket ship. For going to space.
(Rocksy) We're going to space?
-(Berry) Whoa! -(Leaf) No way!
(Twig) Yes way! And we have the technology.
Behold!
(Rocksy) Uh...
We're getting to space with a bean?
(Twig) We're getting to space with thousands of beans!
You see, I have a theory.
We shall consume mass quantities of beans,
which will cause us to emit an organic power fuel,
and if we combine all our bean efforts,
then we'll have enough energy
to power our rocket to the far reaches of...
(Berry) Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Am I farting from my mouth in that drawing?
-(Leaf) I'm in! -(Twig) So you'll do it?
(Leaf) Heck yeah, I will!
I've always wanted to meet some aliens!
(Rocksy) Oh!
And I want to explore uncharted territory!
(Berry) And I'm exclusively in it for the beans!
(farts)
(eating)
(Twig) Okay, everyone hooked up
to your fuel tube?
(Rocksy) Butts in, wheels up!
(Leaf) My cheeks are locked and loaded.
(Berry groaning)
(Twig) Berry!
You haven't interfaced with your collection tube.
Is there a problem?
(Berry) Yeah there is!
I can't fart while I'm still eating!
That would be rude.
(Twig) C'mon, Berry.
I need you to take this seriously. Everyone else is!
Now let's go fart ourselves to space.
Commencing countdown in...
Five... Four...
Three...
Two...
One...
Blast off!
Celestial guardians, here we come!
(farting)
(Kensington) Oh!
Better test this one out before the show!
(coughing)
(screaming)
(Twig) We're doing it!
We're breaking the wind barrier!
(screaming)
(Twig) Look! We did it! We made it! We're in space!
(space music)
(fart)
(gasping)
(Twig) I'm going to be the first earthbound stick
to set foot into space!
That's one small fart for wood, but one giant--
(Rocksy) Move it or lose it, Twig!
(Twig) Oh, hey, hey!
Oh! I-I'm floating! Ah!
(Rocksy) Zero gravity, baby!
(Leaf) Yeah, get into it.
(Twig) Of course!
This is amazing!
(spider) Ugh. Are you kidding me?
I just cleaned those webs!
(spider kid) Hey momma, if you squint,
it kinda looks like they're floating!
(spider) Oh, you're right.
(Twig) Hey, guys, check this out!
(fart)
Woohoohoohoohooheee!
(Rocksy) Ooh! I'm gonna go exploring!
(fart)
(Leaf) Sure are a lot of stars.
(fart)
One of them is bound to have intelligent life.
(fart)
I'd be the first earthling they'd meet!
(fart)
Oh man, I hope I give a good first impression.
(Leaf)
(gasp)
Alien eggs? No way!
It's hatching!
On behalf of earth, I come in peace!
(alien screech)
Ahhh!
(Berry) Oh. That looks pretty fun...
but these emergency beans aren't gonna eat themselves!
(eating)
(Twig) Well, Twig, you finally did it.
I'm so at peace. I'm so relaxed.
(deep breath) Ahhhh...
Uh oh.
No!
No, no, no!
Ah!
Ah! I'm out of fuel! I'm adrift!
Where's the rocket? Guys? Guys? Hello?
Does anyone read me?
Whelp. Guess I'd better conserve what air I have left.
(inhale)
(Space Wizard) Hey, hey, little buddy. Twig!
C'mon, you gotta wake up.
(Twig) Huh?
(gasp) No way.
Whoa! A celestial guardian!
(Space Wizard) Wazzup man?
(Twig) Oh my gosh, I have so many questions! Where to begin?
Oh! Did Berry steal my sandwich last week and then lie about it?
(Space Wizard) Oh, yeah, totally.
(laughing) (Twig) I knew it!
(Bats) Where is everyone? They should be here by now.
(knocking)
(all) Tam Winkwonk?
(Tam Winkwonk) I was told there would be refreshments?
(Kensington) Blimey, is this it?
(Bats) Well, at least we have an audience.
Who's ready to rock?
(Tam Winkwonk) Oink.
(sigh)
(Bats) One, three, six, twelve!
(rock music)
(Rocksy) Ahh, space is truly magical, huh, Leaf?
Oh, look, a shooting star.
Aaaaah!
Gah! Back to the ship!
Oh, n-n-n-n-no, no, it's a meteor shower!
We gotta go!
Oh my gorblets, Twig! I got you buddy.
Oh no, oh, no we lost Twig!
It's hopeless! There's nothing we can do!
(Berry) Guh. There is one thing...
(Rocksy) Berry?
(burps)
Oh, my gosh, Berry. Did you eat all the beans?
(Berry) I've been training my whole life for this moment.
I can get us home and save Twig.
(Rocksy) You'll never make it! It's a one-ina-million shot!
(Berry) Good thing I'm feeling lucky.
Oh, no! It's time.
(Rocksy) Eugh! I can't look!
(Berry) Don't you look away from this, Rocksy!
Don't you look away!
It's all for you!
(Rocksy) I see him!
(laughing)
(Twig) I know, right?
(Rocksy) Twig! Twig!
(Space Wizard) Oh, dang, man!
Looks like that's all the time we have.
You gotta go, Twiggo.
(Twig) But you said that me and you were forever!
(Space Wizard) I say lots of things.
(Rocksy) Twig! Grab on!
Berry, fart harder!
(Berry) She can't take much more!
(Rocksy) Give it all you got, Berry!
(Berry) Ah! I'm gonna blow the O-Ring!
(big scream)
(Rocksy) Got it!
(Twig) You saved me! I don't believe it!
(Rocksy) Ah, phew, Twig's back. Ha!
We're finally safe!
(Berry) I gave it all I got...
(screaming)
(coughing)
(Bats) That's our show.
(Tam Winkwonk) Oink!
(coughing)
(Rocksy) Ah, man. We broke space.
But we're all home safe. Heh. Thanks, Berry.
We'd still be up there if it wasn't for you.
(burp) (cough)
(Berry) Ugh, I farted from my mouth!
(gasp) (coughing)
(Leaf) What did I miss?
(Rocksy) Well, wanna go play in some mud?
(Twig) You guys go ahead.
I'm gonna sit here for a little bit.
(Rocksy) Mmmkay.
(Leaf) Like, does anyone else's throat really hurt?
(Twig) Thank you, celestial guardians,
wherever you are.
(Space Wizard) Ride on.
(music)
