03x01 - The New Normal

[bunniefuu]

[frogs croaking]

[horns honking]

[gasps] What the?

Ah! What is that thing?

What is that thing?

I don't believe it.

- I'm home?
-[honking continues]

This is your world,
Anne?

It's so loud.
That's because
we're on the freeway.

Let's move!

[all panting]

[all] Whoa!

Whoa! [grunts]

Am I dreaming?

There's only one way to be sure.

[beeps]

I'm home! [echoing]

Lights. Lights.

Oh, my gosh.
What is this thing?

What are these?
[gasps]

Buttons!
Buttons everywhere!

[buzzing]

[gasps] Yeah!

Help! This dungeon smells awful!

Careful, boy. There's no tellin'
what dangers lurk in this world.

So, what's
our next move, Anne?

I mean,
so much has happened.
Do you think Marcy--

She's alive, Hop Pop.
She's just gotta be.

And with her and Sasha
still stuck over there,

one thing's for sure:
We gotta find a way back.

Yeah!
All right.

Sounds like a plan.

But before we do
any of that,

first things first.

[grunts]

Anne, is this?
My house.

This is really happening.
I'm gonna see my parents.

So, it's too early
to call them Mom and Dad,
right?

Should I call them
Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy?

Are they
tongue-face people?

Okay. You three
should probably hide in here
for the time being.

I want to ease them
into all this slowly.

And when the time is right,
I'll signal, "Caw caw!"

Do not come out
till you hear that.

[grunts]

Oh! And I'm not going to
tell them I plan to go back
and stop Andrias.

Or that Andrias betrayed us.

Or that Marcy did
or that Sasha did.

And not a word about
my weird glowing blue powers.

Wow. There's a lot going on.

Blue powers?
It was a thing.

You can count
on us, Anne.

Don't worry, Frobs.
We'll fix you up in no time.

Anne's world is full
of advanced technology.

[electricity crackles]

[sighs]

Okay. Here we go.

[knocking]

[knocking]
[mother] I'm coming.
I'm coming.

Hi, Mom.

[gasps]

[giggles]

What was that noise?
Everything okay?

- Dad!
- Anne?

Anne, you're back!
You're safe.

-[cat meows]
-[gasps] Domino!

Come here,
my precious baby!

[meows]

Where have you been?
Are you okay?

Are you hurt?
Have you eaten?

Your hair's a mess.

It's a really,
really long story.

[bird caws]

[rumbling]

And we're the Plantars!

The lovable frog family
Anne's told you all about.

Hop Pop,
that was not the signal!

Well, it sure sounded
like the signal.

Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Anne's parents.

The name's Sprig Plantar,
Anne's best friend,

and walking, talking frog.

[buzzing]

- Okay. Where was I?
- The third temple?

Right. So, as soon
as we charged the last stone,

the music box opened the portal
that took me back to Earth.

Before anything else
could happen.

[laughing]

But the Plantars
got sucked into
the portal too.

And now they're stuck here
till we find a way
to get them home.

So, yeah,
you're pretty much caught up.

Hold on. Back up.

You're telling us
there's a whole world
of talking frogs

called "Amphibaland"?

[Sprig] It's actually
called "The Amphibia."

You made larb
with maggots?
Was it good?

This is a lot
to take in.

I wish we could've
been eased into it.

-[chuckling]
- Anyway.

Can the Plantars
stay with us until
we find them a way home?

[laughs]
Wait. You serious?

Oh, Mom!
Dad, say something.

Anne, all of this is crazy.

I wouldn't believe a word of
this if the small frog
wasn't kicking me right now.

New legs.
You know how it is.

The adventure
is over, Anne.
You're home now.

The authorities
will take care
of your friends.

[gasps] What,
the police?
The government?

As soon as they see
talking frogs, they'll be probed
and dissected in a secret lab

and used for all kinds
of weird experiments!

What's that now?
Can you elaborate
on the probing part?

Anne, don't let 'em take us!
Don't let 'em take us!

Don't worry, guys.
I'll keep you safe.

I was living in a cave
when you found me. The least
I can do is return the favor.

[sighs]

Okay. They can stay... for now.

Oh! Thank you,
thank you, thank you!

All right.
If we're doing this,
we gotta be extra careful.

No one out there
can know you exist.

You're all on lockdown!

You heard the man.
You're all on lockdown.

Got it? What?

Come on, guys.
Let's have some
Earth-style quarantine fun!

All right!

♪ Locked up in the house♪

♪ Doing as I'm told♪

My clothes.

♪ Tryin' on my clothes
That haven't been sold♪

Huh! What the heck?

Wow.

♪ I'm gonna microwave a book♪

♪ Yeah, why not?♪

♪ Gonna use it in the park♪

Whoo! That's hot!

♪ Cook a potato
See a bird♪

- Don't lock it!
- Domino!

♪ Quarantine, baby♪

♪ Yeah, quarantine♪

Yahoo!

Polly!

♪ Doing secret research♪

[whispering] Purge the history.

♪ Quarantine, baby
Yeah, quarantine♪

Look out!
[whistling]

Sprig!

♪ Quarantine♪

Shut down!

♪ Quarantine♪

Nuh-uh!

♪ Quarantine♪

♪ Quarantine♪

Nice try!

♪ I think I need
A little space♪

♪ Mom♪

♪ Quarantine, baby
Yeah, quarantine♪

Looking for this?
[screams]

[Anne shouts] Mom!

It is safer to go in pairs.

Emergency family meeting!

Major boundary violation!

Family?
Should we come too?

Also, do you have any more
of these candy bars?

Mom, Dad, I'm really happy
to be home.

I know it's a big deal
I was gone for so long,

and I get that it's scary
to think about losing me again,

but I need a little bit of space
or I'm gonna lose my mind.

You guys are being
way too overprotective.

Anne,
I think you're exaggerating.

This is a big house.
We all have plenty of space
to breathe.

Oops! Sorry!

Just practicing
my jump kick. Hyah!

Whoops! [grunts]

Okay. I'm listening.

We're tired of being
shut up inside.

Let me and the Plantars out.
Just for an hour.

I'll take care of them,
and we won't go far.

Absolutely not.

Oh, come on!
I can't go out alone
for an hour?

Last time you went out alone,
you got trapped in another world
for five months!

That is a pretty good point.
Shush!

Look. Your father and I
have to go to the market.
We'll talk later.

That's perfect!
Let us come.

I know what you're gonna say.
We can't take the Plantars
out in public.

But the market's always empty
except for a few old people.

Plus, I'll make them disguises
and take full responsibility
for their safety.

You think you can take care
of the whole family?

No offense, Anne, but
you're the literal poster child
for hating responsibility.

Just look at what
you drew as a kid.

Okay, yes.
But I've changed.

Look, I'm a parent too.
And I know what Anne
used to be like.

So, trust me,
I get it.

[Anne] Not helping.

But she grew
into a town protector.

A hero. Voted "Frog of the Year"
by frogs that used to hate her!

Were there bumps in the road?
Sure.

Did she burn the town down once?
Yeah.

Did she almost get us
eaten by a large creature
numerous times?

Also yes.

Did she, uh...

what was I sayin'?

The old one's
got a point.

Ever since she got back,
she has seemed
a little more mature.

She used to beg me
not to take her
to the market.

[clears throat]

[father] Okay, Anne.
Huh?

We're willing
to give it a try.

[all gasp]

But you stay with us
at all times.

And if anything goes wrong,
it's back to lockdown.

Thank you so much!
I promise you won't
regret it.

[all] All right!

Okay. This is gonna be a cinch.

Earth is a cakewalk
compared to Amphibia.

Wow! Really?

Yeah, dude.
The bugs are tiny,
the birds are small,

and best of all,
nothing's gonna be trying
to k*ll us for a change.

[thunderclap]

[King Andrias]
My plans are in motion.

Our forces are growing,
and soon we will be ready
to inv*de.

Only one remains
who could stand
between me and my conquest.

Anne Boonchuy.

She must be eliminated.

This is your one objective.
[all laughing]

This mission requires
the utmost discretion.

We cannot allow the other world
to know of the coming invasion.

Make sure no earthling sees you.

Energy signature acquired.

And one more thing.
Would you mind picking me up
the latest Cynthia Coven book?

Marcy got me hooked,
and I'm dying to know
what happens.

And maybe some of those
potato chip things she had.

Eliminate potato chip?

Okay. Forget the chips.
k*ll the girl.
Get the book.

Well, Marcy, your friends
are about to be eliminated
from the equation.

And as for you, my dear,
your part is just beginning.

[snarls]

[beeping]

Target acquired.

Activate stealth mode.

[car alarm blaring]

-[bicycle bell rings]
-[dog barking]

See? You can totally use
my childhood clothes
as disguises.

You really liked yellow
as a kid, huh?

Won't this make us
stand out?

Sprig, I'm sure
Anne knows what
she's talking about here.

[both gasp]
What?

If you've got it,
you've got to flaunt it.

Actually, let's try
something else.

[giggles]

There.
That oughta do it.

I like it.
My very own face bump.

Hey, hey! Look at me.
I'm a human! Durp-a-durp!

Whoa! Whoa!

Wait, Polly.
You were supposed
to be the top half.

And not get to use
these beautiful legs?
Never!

Fair enough.
Now, who's ready
to see my world?

[all] Yeah! Yeah!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Okay. But no more
victory jumps.

Let's go!
[all whooping]

Not so fast you three--

I mean, you four.

We stick together in there.
Understood?

And if anything goes wrong,
it's back in the lockdown
for all of you.

We got it. We got it.
Now let's get shoppin'.

[all clamoring]

This was a bad idea,
wasn't it?

Oh, yeah.

[all gasp]

[woman on PA]
Clean up on aisle six.

Wow! That thing
looks like Frobo.
Is that a robot too?

Sort of. It's like
a robotic wallet.

Cool. Oh, and is that a robot?

[beeping]

Sprig, not everything
is a robot.

[beeping]

Okay, fine.
But nothing else.

Oh, no. I left
the shopping list at home.

Abort mission!
Abort mission!

No worries. I took a picture
of the shopping list
before we left.

Just in case.

Oh, thank you,
Anne.

That was strangely
responsible of you.

Psst. Give me a quarter.
I wanna buy a lotto ticket.

You will do no such thing!

[chuckling]
Such puny vegetables.

Huh? Whoa!
Mama!

Now, that's more like it.

Oh, that's Durian.
It's a Thai favorite.

It's not really my thing.
Since it smells like...

-...rotten eggs.
- Ah!

[choking]

Durian first-timer
over here.

[both laughing]

Come on. Let's get you
something good.

[gasps]

Mom, Dad,
can I take the Plantars

- to try out some noodles?
-[both] Uh...

I'll keep the Plantars
within arms' reach
at all times,

will avoid any customers,
and I'll keep my phone in
my hand in case you guys call.

- But--
- And I won't order iced coffee,
even though I love it,

because I know it makes me
jittery and anxious.

That does
sound fair.

All right, you can go.
But be careful.

Yes! We will be.

Thank you. Huh?

- No, you don't!
- Huh?

Nope. No, no, no, no.
Oh.

Unbelievable.
She's like
a different person.

Maybe old frog
was right.

She has come
a long way.

Now, come on.
Mama needs
her jasmine tea.

Stupid door.

[grunts, sighs]
Thanks, dude.

I gave you a tray.

All right!
Dig in, everyone.

Hmm...

Aah! Hey, these worms
are pretty good.

And they're not
even fighting back.

Pretty good?
They're delicious.

Gimme!
[slurping]

Polly likey.

They're not worms.
They're noodles.

Asian food's
heart and soul.

- Hey!
-[slurping]

[laughs]

[slurping] Aah. Hmm?

k*ller robot!
Huh?

Sprig, for the last time,
not everything is a--

[grunts]

- Guys!
- Stop! Anne!

Oh, no, you don't!

Take this!

Oh, boy.

Everyone, run!

[sighs] People go crazy
for those noodles.

Did you see that thing?

It's a new kind of robo!

It's gotta be from Amphibia.

But how did it get here?
And what does it want?

Andrias must've sent it
to capture us.

We have to take this thing out
before my parents notice
anything wrong--

Oh! [stammering]

Mom, Dad! Hi!

Hey, guys.
How were the noodles?

So good.

I was, uh, just
taking the Plantars to
help out with the shopping list.

[all] Yep!

Oh, that's so thoughtful.

Can you also go get a mackerel
from the seafood counter.

Oh, yeah! No prob.

Mmm, mmm, mmm!

Uh, yeah!
Gonna do that right now.
[laughing]

Isn't the fish counter
the other way?

Anne, can you use
your blue powers?

Take it down
easy like?

Powers! Powers!

I would if I knew
how to use them.

I'm not sure it's something
I can just do whenever.

Boo!

So what do we do?

Won't it draw
a lot of attention

if we fight a robot
in the middle of a store?

Probably.
But I have a plan.

[rock music playing on speakers]

All right. That'll cover
any noise that we might make.
Now, come on.

What?
Speak up!

That music
makes me mad!

Just come on!

Hey, robot,
I brought you
some flour!

Good thinking, Anne.

Everyone, att*ck!

[all shouting]

[music continues]

Hey. I love this song.

Oh, yeah.
This is a classic.

Yeah!

[all gasp]

Huh. That's weird.

Looks like the robot
doesn't want to
get caught either.

I got him! Oh!

[grunts] Hop Pop down!

Retreat!

[panting]

I'm getting real tired
of this guy.
Anyone got any ideas?

Great.

Frogs. Body temperature.

[shouts, grunts]

[grunts]

Come on, powers. Come on.

[muffled]

[muffled]

No!

[growls]

[beeping]

If you think I'm just
gonna sit here

while you
hurt my friends,

you've got another thing coming.

[car alarm blaring]

[groans] Huh?

[sighs]

[ice cracking]

Anne, that was amazing!

You guys weren't kidding
when you said "powers."

Yeah! Do the punch again!
Anne?

[groans]

Anne!
Anne!

Come on, Anne.
Come back.

Is she okay?
She's okay.

I think using those powers
takes a lot out of her.

Well, we gotta do something.

If her parents
see her like this...

I've got an idea.
I'll be right back.

And Durian to the rescue!

Ah! No! Get it away!
Hop Pop?

You're all right!
Oh, my God!

[all cooing]

[father] Hey.
There you guys are.

How was your
supermarket journey?

It was great.
Walking around
a boring, old supermarket,

was just the thrill
we needed. [laughs]

[gasp] Oh!
And here's the fish
you wanted.

Oh, Thanks, Anne.
Glad you had fun.

And we're sorry
for being so
overprotective earlier.

Not only can you
take care of yourself,

but it looked like
you can even take care
of your friends.

Yes. We are actually
very impressed.

Aw. Thanks, but you
don't have to apologize.

You were just doing everything
you could to keep me safe...

and I get it.

Yeah, well,
some kid made a mess
of the cooking aisle

and we just lucky to have
a daughter who would never
do something like that.

[both laughing]

[all laughing]

[cackling]

Don't overdo it.

Anne, are you sure
you're okay?

You didn't look too good
back there.

Yeah. I'm thinking
I shouldn't use those powers
if I can help it.

I don't know
how else to describe it.
But using them feels... bad.

Well, we won't make you
use them again.

Plus, you're sort of
taking on a lot already.

What are you talking about?

All I have to do
is protect you guys
and keep you a secret.

And find a way to reopen
a portal to Amphibia
and return you home.

And somehow defeat King Andrias
and make up with
my two best friends.

And bring them back to Earth.

Hmm. Okay.
It sounds like a lot.

But I can do it.
I'm perfectly capable.

Can someone please
open this door for me?

I'm trying to move my arms,
and nothing's happening.

Hey, anyone else
craving those noodles?

Yep. Turns out
this world ain't half bad.

Yeah. As long as
that robot never comes back,

I think everything's
gonna be fine.

You really gotta stop
saying stuff like that.

[father]
What's for dinner?

[speaking Thai]

[Plantars] Noodles!
Noodles! Noodles!

[zapping]

[zapping]

Upgrades and repairs
in progress.

Target... will be destroyed

at all costs.

[zapping]
