[grunts in effort]
- [screams, grunts] - [snarling]
*
[birds chirping]
- It's go time, Dawn!
- So stop talking and start going!
BOTH: BFF-boom!
*
[both grunt]
- Woo-hoo! [laughs]
[both cheer, grunt]
BOTH: Yeah!
[squawk]
[screeching]
- [loud boom] - [shrieks]
[thudding]
[cheering, laughing]
DAWN: Hoo! Whoa!
[growls]
Hm?
[both screaming]
[both grunt, laugh]
[snarling]
[monkey shrieking]
[both laugh]
[panting]
[shrieking]
[laughter]
BOTH: Whoa!
[shrieking]
[grunting]
- What?
- This egg shouldn't be here.
- Nope. You think it's lost?
- Absolutely.
- Time for lunch! - Lunch?!
* Let's live wild, the world's our own *
* We built this wheel, now it's gonna roll *
* You know a spark becomes a fire wherever we go *
* Whoa-oa-oa-oa *
* Stuck together, stuck stuck together*
* It's an evolution for worse or for better *
* To find some unity
* For all humanity*
* Because we're stuck together in one big family tree *
- I think we should go back and get that egg.
- What egg? - The completely helpless little egg
we left all alone to fend for itself in the wild.
- Gonna need more than that, Dawn.
- Eep! - I'm kidding!
But, we can't take that egg. It belongs to an animal.
- What animal? That egg was just sitting there,
lost or abandoned. It had nobody. But...
if we take it, it'll have somebody. Us.
Hm?
- Fine.
*
HOPE: Mm!
- UGGA: Hm... Mm? - PHIL: Ooh.
Are you certain about that stick, Ugga?
- Oh good! Phil's here!
- Yes, Phil, I'm sure.
- If it were me,
I'd stick that stick on the Stack Sticks
stack of sticks before you get stuck.
- But, it's not you. It's me.
- [groans] You're such a know-everything, Phil!
- Pretty sure the term is know-it-all.
- Guy's right, it is. And I am because I do.
- Hm... [satisfied grunt] Ah!
- PHIL: See? - [annoyed grumble]
Knowledge is a burden, but it's mine to bear.
- Mom! Dad! Look what we found!
- What is it? - [gasps] Is that an egg?
It's an egg! Everyone! It's an egg!
- Yes, Ugga, I can see that,
but what kindof egg? What's inside?
- Oh, I know! Another egg.
- No. - Another me?
- No! - Another you?
- Stop talking because I know what's in there.
- It's a baby! - Ugga, what is happening to you?
- Babies. I love babies!
And an egg is just a baby you haven't met yet.
- Stars above.
Based on the shell texture, coloring, size, and weight,
it can be only one thing.
- A pandakeet. - A pandakeet?
That sounds like the cutest animal ever!
- Yeah, it does! So cute!
[hyperventilating]
I have to get some air before I explode.
Don't hatch while I'm gone, egg!
- Egg? I'll take mine scrambled.
- It's not just cute.
A pandakeet is also docile, loyal, and highly trainable.
Oh, and its song is sublime! It sounds like this.
[guttural howling]
- [annoyed groaning] - [high wailing]
I mean, not exactly like that.
- Okay, fine. As long as I don't have to cook for it,
clean up after it, or listen to Phil sing like it.
- You won't. We promise.
[giggling]
- And this time, we'll take the egg with us.
See? We're learning already.
[excited giggling]
- Now that we know what it is,
maybe we should look for its parents.
- So they can lose it or abandon it again?
No way. They had their chance.
Now, it's our turn,
and we're gonna love this little pandakeet so much,
it'll beg us to stop.
- You're right. But this world is cruel,
so we're gonna teach our pandakeet
how to meet it head-on.
- With love. - And a stone fist.
- Uh, sure. Both. Maybe we should come up with a name?
- What about Rageblade?
Or Slaughter? Or Agony? Ooh!
Or Bloodstorm? That's what my parents
were gonna name me if I'd been a boy.
- I like it, but I was thinking we could name it Joy
because this little egg is just a bundle of that.
[baby-talk]: Aren't you? Yes, you are.
- And Bloodstorm can be its middle name.
- Naming your egg, huh? Been there.
Isn't that right, Jeff?
[chomps, sighs]
Oh! No, that was Jeff! [gasps] No! What have I done?!
- Uh, yeah. We're naming the egg because it's our new pet.
- Maybe I should get an egg. I'd love to have a pet.
- Thunk, you have a pet.
- Douglas? Oh no, he's not a pet.
He's my best friend. BFF-boom!
*
- [both gasp] - Hey, that's our thing!
- Not anymore 'cause we just did it.
Well, good luck! Taking care of another
living creature is a lot of work.
Ask Douglas. He'll tell you, I'm a real handful.
- [laughing] - [barks]
[chewing, laughs]
- That was good. - Don't worry.
We'll make sure Joy has everything
a little pandakeet could ever need.
- But first, we need to hatch this egg,
and that means we need a--
- Hammer? - I-I was going to say nest.
- Sure! Let's start with nest.
- [both panting] - [Thunk laughing]
- Well, Douglas. Looks like you and I are on the hunt
for an egg of our own. Right after a quick nap.
[both snore]
- [humming] - [thud]
- [gasps] Ooh! I think I felt a kick!
- Sorry, that was me. My leg fell asleep.
- This isn't working. - Did it happen?
No? Okay, I'll check back later!
I'm just so excited! [screams]
- Wow, your mom really loves babies.
- Yeah. If it was up to her, none of us would have grown up.
- I just wanna see Joy's cute little face!
- What about the face we drew? - It's not the same,
and I think we messed up the smile.
EEP: What are you talking about?
That's the happiest egg I've ever seen.
- I just wish there was a way to speed up the hatching!
- There is. What you need is--
- [dramatic sting] - Ah! What happened to your egg?!
- You were right, Dawn. Too much smile. - Way too much!
Now, if you wanna hatch that egg,
cover its face and follow me.
- [hissing] - The steam from the vent will generate
all the warmth we need to speed up the hatching.
Huh. I've never seen a pandakeet egg this big before.
*
- [gasps] - [excited squeal]
- [annoyed growl] Nothing's happening!
- Why isn't anything happening?! - [Guy grunting]
- Because it's steam, not magic.
So, if you just give it a--
- [crackling] - Finally!
[crackling]
[Dawn giggling]
- Yuck! Oh.
I mean, not what I was expecting.
It's quite a surprise, or shock is a better word.
- Hi, Joy. I'm Eep, and I'm going to keep you safe.
- I'm Dawn, and I'm gonna love you so much,
it might be unhealthy.
[growling, curious snarling]
- Hi. - [Joy growls]
I'm Guy, and I'm gonna need my foot back.
- Aw, Eep. - [growling]
- Wait, she's hungry! Come on! - [both panting]
- It happened, didn't it? I could feel it.
Now, where's that baby?
You tell me where that baby is!
- [growling] - Okay, Joy.
Open wide. Here comes the crowverine.
[panting, chomping]
- Nice, Joy. Eating is key to surviving.
[chomp]
- [Eep and Dawn grunting] - [excited eating]
- Huh? - [excited growling]
[ravenous eating]
- [growling] - [Eep and Dawn grunt]
- [purring] - BOTH: Aww...
- What do you think? Is this our kind of egg?
- [disagreeing growl] - [clears throat]
*
Sorry.
- Okay. Uh, that's a tree.
And right next to it is a tree.
And you know what's right next to that? A tree!
- Dawn, I think she gets what a tree is.
- Because of repetition. That's how they learn.
- Hey, why don't you climb in there with Joy,
and I'll push the cart?
- Okay, but not too fast.
- Not too fast. Got it. - [Joy growls]
- Okay, Joy. Time to learn what a leaf is.
- It's also time to learn what a hill is!
Let's roll! Ha!
DAWN: I said not too fast!
- [Dawn yelling] - EEP: How is she supposed to learn?!
- I got a good feeling about this one.
[disagreeing growl]
*
[whispers]: But a bad feeling about that chickenseal.
- [goat-like scream] - [Thunk screams]
\-I still think this is a bad idea.
- Dawn, how will we know if Joy can survive
if we don't force her to survive?
- Yeah, but this is an obstacle course, and Joy is a baby.
- Right. It's the perfect match!
So, let's do this. Guy?
- Sorry, I'm with Dawn.
An obstacle course is no place for a baby.
- I can't believe I have to say that. - What?
An obstacle course is exactly what Joy needs to prepare for...
[gasps]
Huh? Guy, what were you thinking?!
An obstacle course is no place for a baby!
- Yeah, Guy! - [both panting]
- My mistake.
- Okay! Here's your egg back!
[growls]
I guess that wasn't our egg. Ah!
But this one is!
[operatic falsetto]
GRUG: What is that?
- And why is it in the tree house?
- It's not an it. She's our new pet.
[giggles] Her tongue is so sharp! And hot.
- I'm sorry. Did you say hot?
- Isn't she adorable?
- Yeah, if you close your eyes.
But even then, I can still see her in my head. [shudders]
PHIL: I was expecting more fur.
- And less fear. - Baby!
Look at this cute little baby.
[baby-talk]: Isn't she the cutest, Grandpa Grug?
Hi, Grandpa. Gimme kiss, Grandpa.
- [disgusted shudder] - Don't shy away, Grug.
Bear witness to an evolutionary defense mechanism.
Baby pandakeets are so grotesque,
they repel predators.
- And Grugs. [shudders] - Indeed.
But, in time, this hideous abomination
will become an irresistible treasure.
- Speaking of irresistible treasures,
everyone, meet Tristan!
- [gasps] Two babies? Two babies?!
- [screaming] - [runs through wall]
- Alright. Anyway, no idea what it is,
but we should definitely set up some play dates when he hatches.
[gasps, panting]
- Should we tell him that Tristan is a rock?
- No. Look how happy he is.
Besides, he'll figure it out soon enough.
- I just want to make it crystal clear,
I am not cleaning up after that pandakeet.
- Don't worry, Hope. We got this.
- Yeah. You can count on us.
Wait, where did Joy go?
- Oh no, it's on the loose!
- We need to get to higher ground!
- Dad! Her name is Joy! - And there she goes!
*
- [playful snarling] - [laughing]
[straining, grunting]
I thought pandakeets were supposed to be docile.
- Yeah, but Joy's not like other pandakeets. She's special.
[snarling, growling]
And she's smart! Good girl!
[Dawn grunts]
[growling, chirping]
And she's not coming back. Joy?
- Eep? Why isn't she coming back?
- [deep growling] - [both panting]
- Oh no! An eelgle!
Don't worry. I'll handle this.
[panting, straining]
DAWN: Now, you listen to me, eelgle!
If you even touch Joy, I will end you!
[roaring]
Did you just interrupt me?
I hate being interrupted, so don't do that again!
- [subdued growl] - Get out of here
before I unleash all the fury I've spent years
stuffing down into my body and hiding with a smile.
[growls]
*
- Dawn, that was amazing! - Was it?
All I know is I'll never let anything hurt our Joy.
[chirps]
- Me neither because Joy
is a part of our family now.
[squawking]
You're right. Tongue is hot.
- BOTH: Aww... - [satisfied growl]
- UGGA: Oh! Look! She's walking! - [chirping]
The baby's walking! [laughing]
- So? Big deal. I can walk.
- Barely. - Yeah, you're right, Mom.
Joy is pretty incredible.
I don't even remember what life was like without her.
- I do. And I never want to go back there.
- [gasps] Ooh! [laughs] - [growling]
You guys want to see something amazing?
Dad, you said you lost your slippers, right?
- No. They vanished.
It's the only logical explanation.
- Right, Phil. Yeah. Vanishing makes
way more sense than you losing them.
[growls, chirping]
[Phil gasps]
- My slippers! Impossible. - [panting]
And they're warm.
- Joy's not the only pet who can do tricks.
Check this out. Show 'em what you got, Tristan.
- [branches breaking] - So, what's the trick?
- Flying. Oh no! Tristan!
[falling]: Tristan!
[grunt, smash]
- Should we tell him it's a rock now?
- Too late. We're in too deep. - HOPE: Well,
Joy truly is a bundle of herself.
She even gets along with the other animals.
- I guess, but she's going to get cuter, right?
- Yes, I guarantee it
because she's a baby pandakeet.
- That's not a baby pandakeet!
That's a baby ramaconda.
- [all gasp] - [snarls]
- Yes. Baby ramaconda. Precisely what I said.
- No. You said it was a pandakeet.
- [mocking] When you're done yammering,
take a step back, so I can take that thing out
before it takes us out!
- Gran, don't! - So what if Joy is a ramaconda?
That doesn't mean she's dangerous.
- Maybe not now because now, she's just a cute,
adorable, cuddly, lovable, little--
GRUG: Mm-hmm?
- Sorry. But eventually,
Joy will become a deadly, monstrous predator
who won't stop until every last one of us is dead.
*
[growls, roars]
That's why someone has to take Joy back to where she belongs.
- The shock swamp? Nothing can survive that blaze,
- except ramacondas! - PHIL: Precisely.
That's why they live there.
They make nests in the heart of the shock swamp,
where no one will bother them.
- No! Joy has to stay here!
Dawn and I are the only family she's ever known.
- Yeah. She'd never hurt us. Ow. - [Joy snarls]
[growling]
By "ow," I mean having Joy
chew on my foot feels great.
- Honey, you fought a ramaconda.
You knowhow dangerous they are.
[nervous whimpering]
- [loud roar] - [Eep screams]
You can't change what Joy is.
*
- Fine. Then, Dawn and I will take her home.
- To the shock swamp full of ramacondas?
No, it's too dangerous.
Why don't you and Dawn spend one more night with Joy?
Then, your dad and I will take her home in the morning.
- Okay. Come on, Dawn. - [panting]
- Do-do we have to go to the shock swamp?
- Unless you want me to do it alone.
- Hm...
- Grug! - Of course not! Shock swamp it is!
I can't wait to be damp and in pain!
THUNK [echoing]: Tristan!
*
DAWN: I'm gonna miss Joy so much.
I just wish your mom and dad
weren't taking her home tomorrow.
- They're not. - Because we're gonna put Joy in a pelt
and pretend she's your long-lost Uncle Gravel?
- No, because we're going to take Joy
to the heart of the shock swamp.
We brought her here, and we're going to bring her home.
- Okay. That's the right thing to do.
But Uncle Gravel is plan B.
*
And then you bump your fists,
and that's BFF-boom!
What are you drawing, Eep?
- This is our last day with Joy,
and I want to remember it.
- So, let's make some memories! Hey!
Look! Waterfall!
[laughter]
- [laughter] - [growling]
Hey! Fire ravine!
- [cheering] - [Joy growls]
[laughter]
Hey! Avalanche!
[cheering]
[laughter]
- Okay, Grug. You know how we're going to play this, right?
- Yeah. We barge in, grab that weird little monster,
and run for it before the girls know what happened.
- No! This is a sensitive situation.
Eep and Dawn will be very emotional,
so we have to handle this delicately.
- Right. Good thinking.
[grunts] Gotcha!
- Grug, what are you doing? I said delicately!
- Gotcha, please?
- [sighs] Never mind. They're not here.
- Or here... - That doesn't mean
that creepy little ramaconda isn't around here somewhere,
waiting to pounce on us.
- Yes, it does! The girls are gone. Joy's gone.
Oh no. What if they took Joy to the shock swamp?
- Hey, where are you going? - To the shock swamp!
- Or we could stay here and not go to the shock swamp.
- Hm? - Grug!
- Right. To the shock swamp!
*
- When your mom said "shock swamp,"
I pictured it in my head,
and this is so much worse.
- It's... shocking! Eh? - Good one, Dawn.
- Thanks. Joking hides my fear.
- I don't know. All I see is a plain old swa...
- [zap] - Yah!
- ...that shocks you like lightning!
- Well, Joy, looks like
you're going to live with us after all. I'll drive.
- No, Dawn. This is where Joy belongs.
As Guy once said,
"We didn't come this far to only come this far."
- What if we came this far to only meet
an adult ramaconda that wants to eat us?
- We run. - Run? That's your plan?
- Beats being lunch. And we don't have a choice.
We have to do this for Joy.
- You're right. Let's go, Chunky.
- [zap, growl] - [both yelling, grunting]
[roaring, growling]
- Guess we're walking.
- To a ramaconda nest in the heart of the shock swamp.
Not our best idea.
- [zapping] - [yelling]
- [both yelling in pain] - [zapping]
You know what else is shocking about the shock swamp?
- [laughs] Never gets old. What's that?
- I've actually been shocked so many times,
I barely even feel it anymore.
- [shock] - Grr Mountain!
Never mind. Felt that one.
- Yeah. If anything, it's getting worse.
Punch monkeys!
Yeah. That was definitely worse.
[zapping]
- But it doesn't bother Joy at all.
- Huh. Makes me wish I was a ramaconda.
- Speaking of ramacondas,
at least we haven't run into any.
- [hissing] - [both gasp]
Why did I say that?
- Time to go. Maybe faster is better.
- What do you mean? - [screaming]
- Ow! Ow Ow! Not better! Ow! Ow! - Eep?
Eep? Ow! Ow! Ow!
I knew this was a bad idea, and I did it anyway! [yelling]
Joy's not staying here. It's awful.
- What are you talking about? It's beautiful.
*
- No. It's rocky and mossy,
and I don't see any toys or treats anywhere.
Joy doesn't belong here. She belongs with us.
[growling, chirping]
- Look at the other baby ramacondas, Dawn!
[excited snarling]
Joy belongs here. With them.
[chirps]
- I know. I just wish she didn't. [sighs]
I love you, Joy. That's why I have to let you go.
- [excited growling] - [laughs] Go on.
Be the terrifying monster you were born to be.
- No! I was wrong!
I'll never let you go!
[struggling]
- Eep. - You're right. I'm sorry.
- Make us proud, Joy. - [chirps]
And when we see you again, please don't eat us.
[hissing, growling]
[sniffing, snarling]
We did a good thing here, Dawn.
- I know. That's probably why I feel like
I'm gonna start crying and never stop.
- Come on. We should go while Joy's busy.
- But maybe one last drawing of Joy to remember this moment.
*
[hissing, grunting]
Aw. They climbed into their nest.
Look, that must be Joy's mom. It's a reunion.
Are you getting all this?
*
- Dawn, we got to go.
- Oh! Look, she sees us,
and maybe she wants to thank us.
- She doesn't want to thank us.
[loud roar]
She wants to eat us. Run!
[both panting]
- [both grunt] - [zap]
- [both yell] - [zap]
- [yell, panting]
- [zapping] - [yelling]
You'd think being chased by a ramaconda
would make me forget about the shocks!
- [zapping] - [yelling]
- This couldn't be any worse! - [both gasp]
Oh, no. [sighs]
Spoke too soon.
- [stomping] - [whimpering]
- [roaring] - [screaming]
- I just wish we'd lived long enough
to see what being an adult is like.
- I just wish we lived long enough
to see what tomorrow is like.
- BFF-boom?
- And BFF-bye.
- [roaring] - [Grug and Ugga screaming]
BOTH: Parent-pow!
[both grunting]
- Mom! Dad!
- I'm so glad you're here! - I'm so glad we're alive!
- Let's keep it that way. We need to go.
The ramaconda will be back.
- Or another ramaconda will show up and trap us.
- [hissing] - See?!
- [roaring] - [all scream]
- Now what? - Now, we fight for our lives.
*
[grunting]
[growling]
[grunts]
- So sharp! - [giggles] And hot!
[roaring]
[defiant chirping]
[roaring]
[hissing]
- What's happening? - [low growl]
- That's Joy's mom. - DAWN: And that must be Joy's dad.
- But why aren't they attacking?
- I think Joy's protecting us.
- How do you know that? - Because we're still alive.
[slurping, growling]
[growls]
[quiet growl]
*
- Well, that could have gone a lot worse.
- Yeah. No more pets that will grow into huge lethal monsters.
- Right, because if you do that again,
- you're on your own. - Grug!
- Kidding! But seriously, I'm not doing this again.
- [whining] - ALL: Huh?
[panting]
[barking]
BOTH: Aww...
- Another... Baby?! - No!
- You know, Douglas, I'm starting to think
Tristan isn't an egg.
I think he's actually a rock. [grunts]
But he was our rock. Our Tristan.
I will never forget him. [sniffles, sighs]
- Okay, let's go watch window. - [bark]
- [cracking] - [squawking]
*
