01x10 - Valley Girls

[bunniefuu]

This is me, eliza thornberry.

Part of your average family.

I got a dad, a mom,
and a sister.

There is donnie-- we found him.

And darwin?
He found us.

( Jabbering )

Oh, yeah, about our house--
it moves.

'Cause we travel
all over the world.

You see, my dad hosts
this nature show

And my mom sh**t it.

Okay, so we're not that average.

( Panting )

And between you and me

Something amazing happened...

And now I can talk to animals.

It's really cool

But totally secret.

And you know what?

Life's never been the same.

( Crickets chirping,
birds chirping... )

( Zebras whinnying )

( Roaring )

( Tires squealing )

Hmm, I think we went west
at kampala

( Grunting )

And then I believe
we went south at mubende...

I think you just passed.

We're lost now.

( Grunts )

( Grunts )

( Grunts )

Oh, we're here, in the
impenetrable forest.

This is cool.

Wake me when we get
to a country with cable.

( Grunts )

( Grunts )

Marianne:
well, I just hope

We're able to get footage
of that bird.

Yes, the great crested grebe.

By my calculations we should be
in perfect grebe country

In exactly two hours and 15--

Stop the comvee!

We are here!

( Tires squealing )

( Birds singing )

Yes!

I can feel the grebe
in my veins.

Oh, good, jungle.

There's a refreshing change
of pace.

( Grunts )
oof!

( Jabbering )

Ooh...!

( Snorting )

( Gurgles )

Donnie, no.

( Retches )

Ugh!

Okay...

Yes!

This is perfect!

Marianne:
hmm...

Not a lot going on right now.

Don't look up here,
my love.

Look down there!

We're going to climb
down that?

For a bird?

A rare bird.

And we won't climb,
you silly biscuit

We'll rappel.

Nigel, when was the last time
you rappelled?

As a boy, but fear not!

One never forgets.

( Echoing ):
it's like riding a bicycle.

Woo-hoo!

( Both yelling )

Girls, your father and I will be
gone till dinnertime.

No problem.

There's tons of stuff
we can do here.

Like decompose?

Maybe I'll do
my own bird-watching.

Eliza, please don't wander
too far from camp.

I don't want a repeat
of kilimanjaro.

I know, I know.

Let's all agree to meet back
here at sundown. Agreed?

Both:
agreed.

And no joyrides in the comvee.

Right.

( Grunting )

Come along, dear.

There's snacks
in the fridge

And a fresh banana
for darwin.

( Gasps )

It's like riding a bike.

Right?

Absolutely.

I'll have to learn

How to ride a bicycle someday.

Off we go!

( Yelling )

( Yelping )

( Jabbering )

I'm going to go bond
with the a.c.

If you need me
for anything, reconsider.

Come on, darwin, let's...

( Debbie yelling )

Where is the tape player?

You mean, this one?

Hand it over!

I need it to tape birdcalls.

Not in this lifetime, fungus.

What, it's got
your name written on it?

You can listen to music later.

Oh!

( Chirping... )

I can listen to music now.

( Chirping... )

( Grunting, groaning )

( Rock music blasting )

Debbie!

Real cute, debbie.

Debbie... Debbie!

( Pounding )
open up! Debbie!

Come on.

Debbie!

( Bass pumping )

( Grunting )

Debbie!

Darwin:
oh...

( Grunts )

( Muted by music ):
let... Me... In!

Go... A-way.

( Music continues... )

( Screams, grunts )

( Gasps )

Guys, give me a hand.

( Donnie chattering )

( Eliza screams )

Whoa!

Somebody, help!

( Tires squealing )

( Grunting )

Must... Reach... Steering wheel.

( Donnie chattering )

Go, darwin!

Go!

( Screeches )

( Yelping... )

( Screeching )

( Brakes squealing )

Darwin!

( Screeching frantically... )

This isn't good.

No kidding.

If mom and dad find out

About this,
I'll be grounded forever.

Not that there is anywhere
to go.

Can you drive it back up?

No problem.

( Engine starts )

( Yammering )

( Giggling )

Problem.

( Laughs )

So invigorating!

Yes, dear,
but do watch your step.

Oh, you needn't be concerned.

I feel I've become
one with the rock.

( Screams )

( Gasps )

( Screaming continues )

( Crashing, yelling )

Nigel, are you all right?

( Echoing ):
of course, dear.

( Moaning ):
it's just pain.

( Inhales )

( Sighs )

( Engine revving )

( Jabbering )

( Groans ):
oh...

It's your fault.
It's your fault.

No way!

If you weren't jumping around

Like a nutcase...

You pounded on the comvee.

You wouldn't turn down
the music!

If I had the tape player,
I wouldn't have to.

Why do you have
to be right?

'Cause I'm your older sister.

It's the law of the jungle.

( Bushes rustle )

Something's out there.

( Bird hoots )

I could have sworn...

Okay, look,
we have to find some way

To get the comvee
back up the hill.

( Grunting )

We? I will do just fine
by myself, thank you.

I don't need any more
of your help.

I don't need you either.

I'm going to find
just what we need

To get out of this mess.

Oh, in the jungle.

What are you going
to find out there?

Some leaves and a stick?

Wake up, sibling, this is
a mobile, amphibious home.

It's equipped with radio,
radar... And other stuff.

Everything we need is here.

You think so?

Fine. You stay.

I will,
you go climb a tree.

( Imitating engine )

( Sighs )

And take darwin
and sasquatch junior with you.

I'm not going to be
zoo keeper today.

( Snorting )

( Screams )

( Guttural squawking )

( Frightened squealing )

But if it's easier for you,
donnie can stay with me.

To think, in just a week

They'll be frogs with
teeny-weeny legs and little...

Uh, nigel, we're not in search
of pollywogs.

We're looking for a grebe.

Oh, well, then,
let's photograph the grebe

That's right behind you.

( Shrieks )

( Squawking )

Not to worry, they don't fly.

Come along, marianne!

( Laughs )

Oh, goodie, oh!

( Screams )

( Bells jingle )

( Jabbering )

Later, donnie.

( Ringing )

Whoa.

Hey, dar, check this out.

I've checked out
just about all the...

( Gasps )

( Chattering softly )

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Yes. After they k*ll me

Will they make me
into a hand puppet?

( Growls )

Eliza:
no, the rock.

Oh, it's just what we need.

Okay, you distract the gorillas

I'll get the rock.

Distract the gorillas? How?

I don't know.

Um, make, make
animal noises.

I'm not sure if I can do that.

Give me a moment.

All right, I'll give it a try.

( Clearing throat )

( Meows )

( Feeble meowing )

( Puzzled muttering )

Moo...

( Grumbling )

What are
you doing?

( Clucking )

( Hooting )

( Darwin barks )

( Darwin quacks )

( Quacking weakly )

Nice job, dar!

It was, wasn't it?

I have a special skill.

I bet if I
practice, i...

I'll bet if you
give me a hand

This will go
a whole lot faster.

Oh. Right.

( Grunting )

( Chattering, bells jingling )

( Wood snaps, debbie screams )

( Crashing )

We have a major
glove compartment.

( Bells jingling )

Whoa!

( Sighs )

Not now, donnie!

( Grunting )

Ooh, oh, this is tough.

Are you still pushing, darwin?

( Gasps )

( Growling )

( Snorts )

( Clears throat )

Uh... Hi.

( Giggles nervously )

What seems to be the problem?

( Snickers )

I think we need to have
a little chat

About a certain rock.

Rock?

( Giggles )

What rock?

( Roars )

Oh, this rock.

Oh...
( Giggles )

Oh, you know,
it's the funniest thing.

I used to have a rock
just like that.

Look, I need it

To get my family's house
back up the hill

So I took it.

Oh, theft.

Interesting choice.

Hey!

That's my tape player.

Actually, you took it
from your sister, remember?

This is a habit with you.

Now, if I just take this, uh,
rolling pin, I can...

Uh... Donnie, not now.

( Soft thumping )

Donnie!

( Shivering ):
oh...

( Screams )

Whoa!

( Hissing )

( Debbie screams )

( Grunting )

Okay, I get the message.

I'm sorry I took the rock.

It's not the taking,
it's the asking.

Well... Could I ask you
to give me back my tape player?

Of course.

Well, I guess I should

Give you back your rock.

( Debbie screaming )

Oh, no!
My sister.

Got to go.

( Eliza panting )

Debbie:
help!

I'm coming, debbie!

( Yelling )

Help!

( Loud yell )

( Eliza grunting )

Let go of my sister!

( Chattering )

( Jabbering and shouting... )

Whoa! Oh! Oh!

( Eliza screaming )

( Gasping )

Debbie-e-e!

And until the baby grebe
is old enough to swim

The considerate mother grebe
carries her child on her back.

Ow. Aah.

You getting this, dear?

Wonderful sh*t.

Marianne:
I can't wait

To show the girls.

Yes, sometimes I worry

They don't experience enough
of nature.

( Growling, hissing )

Eliza, catch!

Whoa!

( Hissing... )

That was a close one.

Now let's get home, and...

Oh, nuts, the comvee.

Debbie:
where'd this rock come from?

Never mind.

We can use this
to get the comvee out.

I've just got to throw this
over a tree branch.

( Disappointed groan )

( Laughing )

Allow me.

( Grunts )

And so ends the majestic story

Of africa's
resilient little grebe.

Be sure to join us next time

On nigel thornberry's
animal world.

Cut. Great job, nigel.

Now let's head back.

The girls must be bored stiff.

Eliza:
here we go.

One, two, three!

( Creaking )

( Chassis creaking )

Dang. It needs
more weight.

Maybe if we could get...

( Yelps )

( Creaking )

Come on, deb.

I can't do this by myself.

Jump on!

Could you
move it over...
Or slow it down?

Oh, whatever.

( Debbie grunts )

( Donnie and darwin screeching )

Debbie:
I knew it!
All right!

Okay, folks

Put your tray tables in an
upright and locked position.

( Motor revving, stops )

Oh, no!

What is going on?

Stay there.

I'll be back in a second.

I just wanted to thank you
for the rock.

Oh, it is a good rock, isn't it?

It really helped.

But there is one last thing
I need to ask you.

( Grunting... )

Give it another try, deb!

( Grunting )

( Motor revving )

Ah, yes.

Eliza:
okay, s-stop here.

( Grunting )

( Chuckles )
we did it!

Be good me!

( Happy shriek )

Thanks. I couldn't have
done it without you.

( Laughs )

You're welcome.

And the next time
you need something...

I'll ask.

( Horn honking )

Debbie:
eliza! Where are you?

Got to go.

( Engine revving,
tires squealing )

( Squealing... )

( Panting )

( Grunts )

Hurry, nigel, it's getting late.

Hmm... Curious shrub.

( Yelps )

( Both screaming... )

( Donnie yelping ):
ooh, yeah! Ah! Ooh! Ooh!

( Creaking, water splashing )

Oh, man!
This place is trashed.

We got to jam before
mom and dad get back.

Okay, let's do it.

( Grunting )

( Grunts
repeatedly... )

( Animals calling
in background )

( Debbie chuckles )
it's perfect.

( Cheering and jabbering )

Act normal.

Hello, girls.

Got some tip-top
footage today.

All's well, I hope?

Everything's great.

So, what did you two do
all afternoon?

Um...

Just... Hung out.

It's nice when you two
do things together.

And look how neat
we kept everything.

Just the way you left it.

Nigel:
except, of course

The comvee's now facing
a different direction.

Fascinating.

Oops.

Girls? An explanation?

Well...

( Shouting wildly )

Donnie:
wa-hoo-hoo-ah!

Uh, we'll get him.

Debbie:
yeah, bye!

Thanks, donnie.

Nice going, jungle boy.

Now wait for us!
