01x04 - To Save Deej

Post by bunniefuu »

We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

We're the spirits from the forest moon

We're the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

We're the spirits from the forest moon

We are brave, we are bold
Like our storytellers told

That we're strong and we will fight
And we'll stand up for our rights

We're the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

We're the spirits from the forest moon

We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

We're the spirits from the forest moon

Yes, we're home on the ground
And on highways in the trees

When we want to fly high
We just sail out on the breeze

We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

Yeah, we're one big happy family

We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

One big happy happy family

(YAWNS)

(HUMMING)

Huh?

Gotcha!

(EXCLAIMING)

- Why aren't you fishing, Weech?
- It's more fun watching blubber fingers.

(SQUEAKING)

(GIGGLING)

I see what you mean.

- Don't wander off too far, Wicket.
- I won't.

(MRING MRING GIBBERING)

Who is it?

Who's there?

(EXCLAIMS)

What the...

Hey, I got one.

I got one!

(GIGGLES)

Ain't he cute?

Huh?

(EXCLAIMS)

Yikes!

Well, it looks like
they're not biting today.

(GROWLS PLAYFULLY)

(LAUGHS)

(GIBBERING)

(GROWLS PLAYFULLY)

(EXCLAIMS EXCITEDLY)

I guess we might as well
call it a day.

Hey, I got a bite.

Finally, some serious action.

Come on, come on.

It's gotta be huge.

It's a monster.

(SHRIEKS)

Weechee, your dad needs help.

I'm here.

He's heading downstream.

WEECHEE: Willy, get out of the way.

Yeow!

Wicket, help us.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

- DEEJ: Wicket!
- Huh!

Whoa-oh!

I'm coming.

Wicket, you little Deej. Where are you?

Uh-oh!

Yeow!

Willy, grab the line.
Wicket, get behind us and pull.

- WILLY: Where were you?
- Well, I was just...

Fooling around as usual.

I wasn't fooling around. I saw this, um...

(GRUNTS)

Dad.

Dad, are you okay?

Uh-oh! Looks like he cut himself
on that fungus.

Uh, Weechee? Weech?

Hey, you guys, look out!

What is it?

(GROWLING)

No, wait. He's harmless.

That's the little guy I saw in the bushes.

I'd like to help.

So he's the one you were
goofing around with when Dad needed you.

I wasn't goofing around.
I was, uh, just...

Come on, Dad. We'll get you home.

WILLY: Hey, what's happening up there?

Can I help?

I think we've helped enough already.

What's the matter with Dad?

Hey, you!

Help! Somebody!

Anybody!

(FISH BITING)

(YELPS)

Oh, yeah?

(EXCLAIMS EXCITEDLY)

LOGRAY: Hmm.

What is it, Master Logray?

I'm not sure.

Tell me more of this fungus.

- It was a rich, deep blue.
- And really pointy.

Hmm.

I've seen this once before
and I'm afraid it's quite serious.

Oh, Deej.

Isn't there something we can do?

Yes, but we need very special
ingredients for the cure.

(LOGRAY CHANTING)

Oh, future wizards, harken yee.

Beware the fungus of the rokna tree,

which speeds one's years
from day to night.

This cure restores the victim's might.

A star-shaped urchin from a deadly foe

to wield against this fatal blow.

A lantern bird's feather, burning bright,

to drive away the veil of night.

And for the final task, you must be brave

to steal the eggs from a frosch's cave.

Remember, these deeds
must end under sunlit sky,

or the Ewok's very soul will die.

Weechee, Willy, Wicket.

You three must seek out these ingredients.

Come to my hut.
There are things you must know.

I'll just wait here and...

Whoa!

WEECHEE: Get in there.

What?

Yeah!

Whoa.

I don't like it in here. It's spooky.

I have a map
that will help you find your way.

(SNIFFING)

The lantern bird is easy to find.

Now, the Dandelion Warriors
inhabit these grasslands to the east

and the frosch grotto is beneath the...

(WILLY GULPING)

Get out of there.
That stuff is dangerous.

Goon daa.

- He's always thinking with his stomach.
- (WILLY BURPS)

(HICCUPS)

(CLEARS THROAT)

- Now, then, are you clear on how...
- WILLY: Help!

(WEECHEE LAUGHS)

I always thought
you were full of something.

Well, at least I know that potion works.

I just hope it wears off soon.

(EXCLAIMS)

(LAUGHS) I kind of like having
a bird for a brother.

Yeah, I like him like that too.

Enough time wasted. (CLEARS THROAT)

These should do the trick.

What? What trick?

Logray said
we have to be back before sunset. Yub nub.

- Yub nub.
- Don't yub nub me.

If it wasn't for you
and your fooling around...

Hey, hey, Weechee! Weechee, hey!

I'm afraid they don't have much time.

Come on, Willy.

Okay, okay.

Whoa!

Help! Weechee!

You lurdo. Stand still.

(SCREAMS)

I got him. I got him.

Ee Chee Wa Wa!

Listen, I've been thinking,

if we want to get all these things
before dark,

we're going to have to split up.

So I'll go get the frosch egg
because that's the most dangerous.

You find the lantern bird.

Do you think you can handle that?

I think so.

(HICCUPS)

You round up the Dandelion urchin.

WICKET: Yeah, Weechee.

We'll meet back at the hut
as soon as possible.

Well, get going.

Hmm.

I'd better see
what's happening at Wicket's hut.

A feather. I've got to find a feather.

(EXCLAIMING)

(CLATTERING)

(BIRD CHIRPING)

I bet that's where
the lantern bird's nest is.

(GRUNTS)

- (BIRD CAWING)
- Uh-oh!

WICKET: This must be
the land of the Dandelion Warriors.

Now I've got to find a star urchin.

I guess this is the place.

Ow!

This must be an urchin.

I don't see any star on it though.

MRING MRING: Help!

Help! Over here.

You again.

Hurry up.
Untie me before they att*ck again.

- You're the one I saw down by the...
- Yes, yes, yes.

But hurry, before
the Dandelion Warriors come back.

I tried to help.

I tried to get an urchin, but they got me.

They've been using me for target practice.

Hurry!

(SHRIEKING)

Oh, no! Hurry!

Run! Into the forest.

(SHRIEKING)

MRING MRING: Get down.

Okay. Go.

(SIGHS IN RELIEF)

- Finally.
- Check.

Now one of us has to draw their fire

while the other one
looks for a star urchin.

What?

Hey, look, I've been their target
for three hours already.

But my dad won't get better
unless I get one.

Oh, yeah. Your dad.

And you did want to help.

- Right. Okay. I'll search and you dodge.
- Check.

No. You dodge and I'll search.

Check.

Who cares anyway.

- Hey, Warriors!
- (SHRIEKING)

(GIBBERING)

(ALL SHRIEKING)

Boy!

Wow, look at that little guy go.

Come on, you guys.
Is that the best you can do?

Whoo-hoo!

(LAUGHING)

Whoa!

Look out!

Look! That's it, the star urchin.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Not a bad idea.

(GASPS)

Ee Chee Wa Wa!

(GROWLING)

Oh!

Hmm?

The frosch eggs.

Oh, kvark!

Ee Chee Wa Wa!

Sticky gucky.

(LIZARDS GROWLING)

(EXCLAIMS)

(GASPS)

Wow!

It's slippery.

(LIZARDS SHRIEKING)

Whoa!

(SCREAMS)

Help!

This is serious.

I'd better find Wicket and his brothers.

Weechee and Willy
must have made it back by now.

Whoa!

Oh, Wicket, I was just looking for...

Wicket, what is it?

Teebo, this is Mring Mring
from the land of the Gupins.

Gupins?

It's a long story,

but I've got to get back
with Weechee and Willy...

Wicket, I've been looking
for you to tell you

that Weechee and Willy aren't back yet.

Oh, no.

We've got to find those guys.

I know where the lantern bird's nest is.

Follow me.

Good day.

My friend here lost his brother,

and we were wondering
if you've seen him.

(CAWING)

Well, we got up here, didn't we?

Uh, not even a dopey looking one?

(CHIRPING)

(GASPING)

Willy!

Whew! It's hot under there.
I got the tail feather.

Great. Come on, let's go.

Goodbye, fellow creature of the sky.

(SCREAMS)

(THUDS)

Whoa!

Come on, there's no time to lose.

Help!

Hang on, Weechee!

Check. Now!

(ALL GRUNTING)

Whoa!

Yeah.

You okay, Weech? Are you all right?

(ALL CHEERING)

- (ALL CHUCKLING)
- (LIZARDS GROWLING)

No!

(EXCLAIMING)

Don't you dare.

Hmm?

You know with whom
you're dealing here, hmm?

I am on an important mission.

And all you can think about
is your stomachs.

Such greedy lizards.

Hmm! You should be ashamed of yourselves.

The way you frosch are carrying on,
you'd think Ewoks were good to eat.

Or something.

(LIZARDS GROWLING)

(WILLY SCREAMS)

Oh, no, we're trapped.

We'll never get back in time.

Wait! What if we all flew back?

- What?
- Yeah.

I have special talents,
but I'll need your help.

Okay. I want you to concentrate
on a big winged creature.

One large enough to carry all of you.

Concentrate now,
draw up the image in your mind.

And then hold it firm.

Come on, hurry!

This is crazy.

That's it. That's it.

Whoa! Ee Chee Wa Wa!

Climb on. It'll be a short flight.

Ee Chee Wa Wa!

We're really flying.

Hey, I can see our hut from here.

(MRING MRING SQUAWKING)

Ee Chee Wa Wa!

(ALL CHEERING)

WICKET: We're back.

Are we too late?

No, no. There's still time.

Here, Master Logray.

You have done well, my children.

Dad, I don't know if you can hear me,
but it's Wicket.

You're going to be okay, Dad.
We're going to make you well.

All right.
Remove his blanket and stand back.

(CHANTING)

(SIGHS)

Mmm.

(SIGHS)

- Deej!
- Huh!

- Oh, Deej, it's so good to have you back.
- Yay! Hurray! Dad's better.

Back from where?
