04x01 - Butterfly Follies Part 1 & 2

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music plays]

It's gonna get
a little weird

Gonna get a little wild

I ain't from round here

I'm from another dimension

Gonna get a little weird,
gonna have a good time

I ain't from round here,
I'm from another-- woo-hoo

Yea-ah

I'm talking rainbows,
I'm talking puppies

Puh-puh-puh-puh-
puh-puh-puh-p-u-u-uh

It's gonna get
a little weird

Gonna get a little wild

I ain't from round here

I'm from another dimension

[blasts]

Aah!

Oh! Not bad, me!

-Huh!
-Aah!

Hyah!

Incoming!

Yah!

-Yaaah!
-Oh!

Nice! Whoa!

[River laughing]

Tastes like chicken!

Glittery heart
slap blast!

-Aah!
-Rainbow fist punch!

Aah!

Look out!

My purse!

[Star grunts]

Whew!

Noooo! Unh!

Ohh!

-Come on, Star!
-Aah!

[gasps]

I got this.

Narwhal Blast!

Mom!

[coughing]

I'm not your mom.

-What?
-Huh?

For corn's sake,
Star Butterfly,

this is the third time
you've ruined my prison tower!

Couldn't you have used
one of the holes
you already made?

Uh, sorry.

We just wanted
to triple check

to make sure we hadn't
missed anything.

I believe
I told you before--

let me say it again--

Queen Moon's not here!

You know, this is all
your mom's fault anyway.

Keeping secrets and conspiring
with evil queens.

I know things
are a little shaky right now,

but it's not my mom's fault.

Yeah, I suppose you're right.

It'syour fault.

Ugh!

Yes, the moment
you're in charge,

you just hand
the whole kingdom over

to the Queen of Darkness

and her frozen
Monster husband.

How's that feeling?
Too tight?

Oh, no, you--
you could go tighter.

Now with Queen Eclipsa
in charge,

I'm no longer allowed
to imprison Monsters.

Now I've had to resort
to imprisoning Mewmans,

and, well,
you know, I'm just not
as passionate about that.

How about just
not imprisoning anybody?

How about you let me
keep doing my job,

and I'll let you
keep ruining everything
for everybody?

Fine!

Princesses.
Am I right?

[strained] Totally.

[snoring]

[sighs] There's gotta
be someplace in Mewni
we haven't checked yet.

I don't know, Star.

We're running out of options.

[flies buzzing]

[sniffing]

[shudders]

We could go to
the Hot Springs again.

It's been awhile
since some of us have showered.

[laughs]
Drink in that musk, boy.

Ha ha!
That's all natural.

Yo-kay! [groans]

-[Star's phone ringing]
-You wanna know why
hygiene is important?

It's because the world
is a petri dish of bacteria.

Tom!

How's the search
goin' today?

Oh, it's goin' great!

We got tons of leads!

Isn't that the same tower
you checked twice already?

Uh, no! What do you know
about towers?

You live underground.

There are towers
in the Underworld, you know?

Sorry, sorry.
You're right, Tom.

You're not stupid.

You never
said I was stupid.

Well, not out loud.

[laughs] Okay.

That's the Star I miss.

Miss you, too, Boo!
See ya soon!

And then when you go
to eat the sandwich,

you're fingers are gonna
touch the food you eat

in your mouth.

-[phone vibrates]
-Hey, man.

[Tom]
Hey, Marco...

We've looked at this
a million times.

Maybe we've been looking
at it all wrong.

[Tom]I just want
to make sure

you know I know
what a tower is, right?

Yeah, I know you know
what a tower is.

[Tom]
So you'll be home
at some point, right?

Think she still
wants to re-check
a few more places,

but we're running
out of options.

[Tom]
Did she call me stupid?

Hey, you there!
Is everything okay?

Uh, yeah. We're kind of
in the middle of something.

Oh, my bad!
I thought you fell down

and broke all your bones.
Ignore me!

Wait a second! Wait!

Wait wait wait wait!

Hey hey hey, Monster dude!

Your shirt!

Whoa! What'd I do?!

[Star] It's...

It's her!

Moooon!

"Come see me
at the Pie Carnival."

[grunts]
Pie Carnival!

Why would your mom
be at a Pie Carnival?

She's probably confused.

The time she spent
in the Realm of Magic

really did a number
on her memory.

Wait a minute!
Are you Star Butterfly?!

What? Oh!

It is an honor
to meet you!

Oh! [laughs]
It's nice to meet you, too.

But about the Pie Carnival...

Yeah,
the Pie Carnival.

[chuckles] Oh, they
hate Monsters there!

But they gotta deal
with us now, you know?

Ever since you gave
the kingdom back to Eclipsa,

you've given
us Monsters a chance

to live
a normal life again!

Oh. Well,
I guess I was just doing

what felt like
the right thing to do.

You did good,
Princess.

Too bad your mom
was such a dum-dum!

You take that back
about my wife!

Dad, wait!
He knows where Mom is!

Uh, Monster dude, please,

can you tell us how to get
to the Pie Carnival?

Oh, yeah, didn't I say?

I guess I didn--
I was very excit--

It's just
over that hill!

-Okay, thanks! Bye!
-Wait!

[panting]

[Star]
"Pie Carn-ya-val-lee."

"Now with Queen Moon."

My mom is Queen Moon!

-Wait! Wait!
-[Marco grunts]

Dad, Mom's here.

Aah! Pie Carnival.

Danger! Pie folk!

Pie folk?

Pie folk!

The sleaziest scammers
in all of Mewni.

What may seem like
a fun carnyaval is but a trap

to take everything you have.

Your horse, your carriage,
your wedding ring.

Did this, uh...
happen to you?

I was trying
to win a boom box,

but now they've taken my wife.

[Star] Well, say what you
want about the pie folk.

But if Mom's here,
I'm going.

Honey, wait!

Wear a money belt!

She's doomed.

Uh, wu-wu-wu-wait a sec.

Look, we've been questing
for weeks,

and I haven't
had a proper meal.

Let's get some food.

You just touched my beard!

C'mon, man... you're, like,
the hungriest guy I know.

You gotta be starving, too!

Of course, I'm starving.

I'm starving for my wife!

[whimpers] My wife.

Uhhh?

We'll eat
a proper meal at home

after we find Moon!

I'm just talking
about a snack, dude.

This place is full of pies!

Full of pies...

full of lies!

You-- You have food?

River!

Is that a drumstick?!

[King River grumbling]

Hey, can I, uh...

Can I get one of these pies?

They're six fifty.

Wait... $6.50? Or $650?

I don't care, I'm hungry.

But you better throw
in a napkin.

Marco, no! I told you
not to eat the pies!

They're stuffed with nothing
but balderdash and humbug!

And [muttering gibberish]

I'm onto you.

Look, man,
I'm eating this pie.

[clang]

Aaah!

[grunting] Oh, hey,
sorry to bother you.

Have you seen my mom?

Uh, that depends.
Who's your mom?

Queen-- Uh,
former Queen Moon Butterfly.

Ohhhhh!

Forgive me for being
so common, milady!

Your mama...

Uh, I mean,
Queen Moon is over
at the meet and greet.

I'll walk you over.

Hold my pie,
would ya?

Sure.

[grunts]

There it is!

Problem is... meet
and greet is closed.

I gotta go.

That'll be 6.50 for the pie.

[laughing] Oh... right.
There ya go.

Excuse me, miss.
Did I hear you're looking
for Queen Moon?

Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes!
Yes! Yes!

Oh, please tell me
you know where she is!

Welcome to the exclusive
Queen Moon Merchandise store!

Or shall I say...

Moon-cherndise?

Here we have
all your Queen Moon
merchandise needs!

Including 13 different
types of Moon Dolls!

Our newest addition
is the Supportive
Mom Moon Doll!

[Queen Moon]You're doing
just fine, sweetheart!

No! We don't want
your dumb merchandise!

Maybe just one or two.

I thought you said
you hated the pie folk.

Yes. But do I hate
the pie folk

more than I love my wife?

[frustrated] Ugh!

She's everywhere.

[conversing indistinctly]

[Star] Just look around.

They all love my mom.

Sounds like you need
a Supportive Mom Moon Doll.

I thought giving
the kingdom back to Eclipsa
was the right thing to do.

But I don't know.
Did I-- Did I blow it?

You were Queen,
and you made a decision.

Some people might just need
some time to get used to it.

-[fanfare playing]
-[Fake Manfred]
Fellow Mewmans!

Let us tell you a tale...

one that
we all know too well.

Maybe this will take
my mind off of things.

[Fake Manfred]
The Butterfly Follies.

Ho ho ho,
being king of Mewni

is the easiest job
I've ever married into!

[laughter]

Who... Who is this idiot?

[burp]

All hail your king!

[laughter and boos]

[man]
He's the king!

Oh, no! It's me!

I'm the idiot?!

I'm all out of fooood!

What do I do?!

[crowd]
There's a pie on your head!

Oooh! There's
a pie on my head?

[laughter]

I can't! I can't!

He's so dumb!

He's just like
the real King River!

-Ohh!
-[thud]

This is an outrage.

Let's get out of here.
We don't have to watch this.

[Fake Star] Papa!
Save some pie for me!

Star Butterfly!

-[audience boos]
-Oh, no.

I'm here to destroy
the great Butterfly legacy

with my love of Monsters!

[laughter]

But, dear! What about
your responsibilities
to the Mewmans?

Here's what I got
to say about Mewmans!

Narwhal blast!

[farts]

[laughter]

That's not how
the Narwhal Blast works.

Hey.
Let's-- Let's leave.

No. No no no no. No, no.

I wanna see
where they take this.

But I don't!

What do you think
they're gonna do to me?

What's that I hear?

I think my best friend is
about to make an appearance!

It's... Horseface!

[laughter]

My only friend!

Girl,
you know I'm so sassy.

Hee haw!

[Queen Moon] You two always
make such a mess!

[spotlight thuds]

[both] Oh, no!

[Queen Moon]
But do not worry.

[audience gasps]

Your queen is here.

[cheering]

-[fanfare playing]
-[cheering]

We love you, Moon!

The rightful queen
of Mewni!

All hail Queen Moon!

Moonpie!

Is that really her?

It has to be.

Oh, Star,
what are you doing?!

Mama! Mama!

It's me, Star!

[music stops]

[straining]
You're here!

Mmm!

Um, excuse me?

You don't remember me,

but this hug
feels good right now.

Who is that?

What's going on?

Who... Who are you?

Mom, you were
in a magical dimension.

You lost your memory.

There was a unicorn?

Um...

I know it doesn't
make any sense,

but you're my mom.

Indeed!

Queen Moon is
like a mom to us all!

No, she is actually
my mother!

I am
the real Star Butterfly!

Well, I've got the wand!

But I don't know
how to use it!

[laughter]

-Aah!
-[crowd gasps]

I don't need a wand.

It's the real
Star Butterfly.

-Get her!
-[shouting]

I'm sorry. [gasps]

But I need
to queen-nap you.

Aah!

You make
terrible pies!

You tell them, sweetie!

We gotta go.

[crowd shouting]

Warnicorn stampede!

-[neighing]
-Hyah!

[King River] We'd love to stay,
but we don't want to!

[shouting]

Mom!

Moonpie! Mmm!

-Mmm!
-Mmm!

You've come back to me.

I was so scared
I would forget your face,

but you're as beautiful
as I remembered...

Uh... [mutters]

Um, I have
to tell you something.

[King River and Star gasp]

You... cut your hair?

No. I'm not--
[clears throat]

[man's voice] I'm not
the real Queen Moon.

My name is Erik.
[nervous chuckle]

Sorry I didn't
tell you earlier.

I was trying
not to break character.

We were so close!
[crying]

Oh, my gosh.
You have a gift!

This is the most flawless
contouring I've ever seen!

I used my new luminizer
to highlight my cheekbones.

Sometimes Turdina likes
to highlight with glitter.

[Erik] I like to use
glitter on my eyelids
to make 'em pop!

[Marco] Sometimes I'll put
a little bronzer on

and then blend it with my--

Marco! We don't have
time for this!

Oh, my gosh,
can I just say

its an honor to meet
the real Star Butterfly?

What does it feel like
knowing you single-handedly
ruined your kingdom?

Look, she's been
through a lot,

and she really doesn't
need this from you.

Argh!

[ribbits]

Star!

What?!
I'm gonna change him back.

-[ribbits]
-Wait!

[ribbits]

[calling]

[sighs] Great,
one more thing I messed up.

Erik.

I guess the only thing
left to do

is retrace our steps
and start searching
all over again.

Or... we could go home.

Oh, you mean give up?

It's just that
we've been out
here for a while.

We'll be more efficient
if we're well-rested!

[growls]

Hey. I promise
we're not quitting.

Just washing days
of funk off our bodies.

Or in River's case,

-weeks of funk.
-[buzzing]

[chuckling]

Let's go home.

[clanking]

Come on, Dad. Not again!

I have no home
without my Moonpie!

I'm sleeping outside tonight!

Just leave him.
It's not our fault

if he wants to be
a drama king.

Ugh, fine.
I guess you're right.

[Star]
Hey, Eclipsa!

Oh! Star, Marco!
Welcome back!

Any luck finding your mother?

[sighs] No.

You know, have you checked
the tower down the way?

I've checked the tower.

[whispering]
Three times.

Well, you never can
be too thorough.

You wanna bet?

What?

The Castle's really
coming along.

It's a work in progress.

Luckily, I've had
lots of help from
my transition team.

I'd be lost
without them.

Fresh lemonade,
milady?

Thank you, Archibald

[puppies barking,
lasers blasting]

Aah, puppies!

Aw, did you miss us?

Let's head inside.
You must be tired.

Actually, I could
really go for some food.

[puppies barking]

[guards]
Left. Left.

-Left, right, left.
-[Eclipsa] Where's your father?

Still camping off-site?

You know my dad.

He's processing things
slowly.

Princess Star!
I mean, Regular Star!

How goes the search
for your mother?

It's going!

Just taking
some time to recharge.

Did you check that tower?

So, Lavabo,
how are things going here?

I am busy performing
my royal duties as always.

Mmm. Fresh linen smell.

I am still getting used
to seeing the fruits
of my labor defiled.

[panting]
Oh, Star!

Did you find
your mother?

Things have been a bit, uh,
different in her absence.

Star, might I borrow you
for a second?

Wow. This is
quite a production.

[Eclipsa]
I've spared no expense
to free my poor husband.

Ohh, not again!

That is... not working.

No, it's not.

But I just can't help
but try everything I can
to bring him back.

You know what that's like.

Yeah, I do.

Let's get you settled in.

I'm afraid your rooms
aren't quite ready yet.

Things have been
a bit hectic around here.

Ha ha ha!
Don't worry about it.

I'm just happy to sleep
in a real bed for once.

Gah!

Huh?!

[Star] Whoa!

[screech]

Yeeeh!

There's my baby!
Come to Mama!

-[grunting]
-Oof!

-[baby talk]
-[cooing]

Aw, baby Meteora!

Long time no see.

Uh... are you sure
she doesn't remember
anything from before?

Of course not!

At least I hope not.

That'd be bad
for all of us, wouldn't it?

[magic whooshing sound]

Oh! Would you look at that.

My old spying spell!

Back to work already, Star?

Yep. May as well start
quadruple-checking
all the places.

That's...
very thorough of you.

But don't work
yourself too hard.

You need some time to rest.

Ugh! This is pointless!

Star, wait!

Okay, she's somewhere,
but where is where?

Ugh, I don't know
what to do!

[shaking sound]

[scraping noise]

Okay, Glossaryck,
here's what's goin' down.

I need your help,
but I don't have time

for any
of your weird riddles.

I am going
to ask you a question,

and you are going
to answer it, okay?

Okay.

I think the reason
I can't find my mom

is because something
happened to her

when we went
to the magic dimension.

But I can
hardly remember what
even happened there.

What did the magic
do to my mom?

You're asking
the wrong question.

The real question is,

what were you doing
in the magic dimension at all?

That was your first mistake.

What are you talking about?

I had to go there
to find my mom!

Just like I had to go
there to defeat Toffee!

Maybe that
was a mistake, too.

Huh?

[baby cooing]

[raspberries]

I'm worried about Star.

If she can't even find Moon
with the All-Seeing Eye,

well, it's not a good sign.

But she was
in a dimension
of pure magic!

I mean, maybe there's
some kind of interference
or something?

That doesn't really change
how my spell works, Marco.

I'm afraid someone
will have to have

a very difficult conversation
with Star.

[sighs] I know.

There's just never
a good time.

Now might be a good time.

[knock on door]

[Marco] Hey.

Could we, uh, chat?

Yeah, sure, what's up?

So... how is you?

I mean-- I mean,
how is you are doing?

Ugh, you are so bad
at small talk.

Just get to it.

Okay. Okay.

It's just, we've
searched everywhere in
the kingdom for your mom,

but we never seem to get
any closer to finding her.

Have you ever worried
that maybe there's
a tiny chance that...

we might never find her?

Nope. We'll find her.
I know it.

But how can you
possibly know that?

Because I have this.

A picture of us
that says "Beach Day!"?

Look closely, Marco.

When exactly did we
go to that beach?

What is this?

It's a gift
from Father Time.

It's from the future.

What?!

Father Time gave it to me,
and I keep it with me

because sometimes
I need a reminder--

Oh, my gosh,
this was on our fridge!

How long have you
had this thing?!

That's, like,
so many levels
of time paradox!

Just listen, okay?!

I don't know how,
but someday soon,

we're gonna have
this awesome beach day,

and there's no way
I'd be this happy

if we never found my mom.

Huh. Well...

I'm not keen
on paradoxes,

but you do look
pretty happy in that photo.

Still a paradox, though.

Let's get some rest.

The sooner
we find your mom,

the sooner we get
to go to the beach.

Ahh!

[Marco] Good night.

Night night, Marco.

Good night, future Star.

[paper crinkling]

[gasps] You bought
one of their pies?!

-Aah!
-Star!

I'm tired of corn, okay?
Don't judge me.

Those pies are garbage,
so, yes, I will judge you.

Mm! Mm!

Star, you should try this.

It's actually pretty good!

Yeah, who am I kidding?
I'm not above garbage.

[gasps] Marco!

Huh!

Over, under,
around, and through!

Grab the little Mewni rabbit,
pull him through!

What are you doing?

The crust!

It's just how
my mom makes it!

She made them all the time
when I was a little girl.

So do you think... ?

Yes.

My mom made these pies.

She's a princess
winning battles

Through the break of dawn

Don't worry when it's night

'Cause she will keep
the lights on

Ohh,
there goes a shining star

Evil won't deter her
No, sir!

'Cause magic
flows through her

Star Butterfly

She is a shining sta-a-r
