01x02 - The Haunted Village

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

Hey, Kneesaa, wait for me.

Come on, Wicket.

There's more sunberries
at the end of the chute.

Kneesaa, here I come. Whoa!

- (LAUGHS)
- KNEESAA: Whee!

- WICKET: Ahhh!
- Ooh!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

My pouch is full. How about yours?
(GASPS)

- Down, Kneesaa. Look out!
- (WIND HOWLING)

(KNEESAA SCREAMS)

- (WICKET GROANS)
- Ow!

- Kneesaa...
- Help, Wicket!

Hang on, Kneesaa, I'm coming. Hang on.

I'll get you.

- Whoa!
- Gotcha.

(BOTH SCREAMING)

(GROANS) What was that thing?

I don't know, but we'd better get back
to the village and warn the tribe.

(WIND HOWLING)

(GASPS) Wicket, it's coming back!

Wait. That came from Logray's hut.

(EXCLAIMS IN EWOKESE)

(WHOOSHING)

The sunberry trees have ripened at last.

Tomorrow, you will
return to the Ewok's forest

and destroy every berry tree.
(LAUGHS WICKEDLY)

That's the monster we saw
in the sunberry grove.

It is the Mantigrue, daughter.

The mantigrue?

The flying sl*ve of our old enemy,

Morag, the Tulgah witch.

Once in the distant past,

Morag sent the Mantigrue
to devour our sunberry trees.

Without the tree's special berries,
many Ewoks fell sick.

Ooh, it was a time of misery.

And now, once again,
Morag sends the beast to plague us.

(GRUNTS) How I'd like to
drive that winged thief away for good.

Chief Chirpa,
let's give it to the big bully. (GROWLS)

The Mantigrue's skin is too thick to hurt.

To defeat it,
we must use another kind of w*apon.

WICKET: Soap?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

EWOK: A bar of soap?

What are we supposed to do?
Wash it to death?

(LAUGHING)

Just watch, you guys.

This soap is made from
the rare shadowroot plant.

(MURMURING INDISTINCTLY)

It has the power
to make anything it washes

- invisible.
- (ALL EXCLAIM)

Hey.

It ate it.

(LAUGHS) No, no.

You see, clean water brings it back again.

I knew that!

We will need everyone's help

to hide the trees
before the Mantigrue returns.

And please use the soap carefully.

There's barely enough to go around.

Here's a brush for you.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Well, let's get started.

Wicket!

Oh, no!

Wicket, you are to look after the woklings
while the elders are busy painting.

Take them down to the river
and give them a good bath.

WOKLINGS: Yay, Wicket, Wicket!

How come I am always the one
that has to babysit?

Painting these trees
is simply a job for adults, Wicket.

Yeah, and we're adults.

- (GROANS) You Dulok-brained lurdle.
- (SCREAMS)

Hey! Come back here.

I'll help babysit, Wicket.

Come on, Wicket, it will be fun!

- Let's go.
- Yeah, we wanna go swimming.

I hate this hot sun.

And these wretched flies.

Hurry up, Shaman.

SHAMAN: (GRUNTS) Quit fighting!

I need a few more ingredients
for my magic potion.

You and your magic potions.

If you were any kind of a wizard,

you'd figure out some way
to keep the bugs off us Duloks.

All right. Here's a fly swatter.

Live it up. (LAUGHS)

WOKLING: I'll get you, Wicket.

(LAUGHTER)

SHAMAN: Ewoks!

(WOKLINGS GIGGLING)

(YELLING)

(GIGGLES) Yay!

- (FLIES BUZZING)
- Ewoks.

(GROWLS)

(GROWLS)

Come on in, you guys.

- (WHIMPERING)
- WILLY: Ya-hoo!

- I'll get you for that, Willy.
- (WILLY LAUGHS)

Hey, you're supposed to be getting clean.

SHAMAN: Ewok soap.

There's nothing like it

on all of Endor for driving away bugs.

Let's get it.

(ALL SCREAMING)

(GROWLS)

(SCREAMS)

(INSECT CHITTERING)

- (KING GORNEESH GRUNTS)
- (BOTH SCREAM)

(FLIES BUZZING)

(GRUNTS)

You mean you had the Ewoks'
bug-ridding soap in your grasp

and you let it slip away?

Foolish bead rattler.

Please, great King Gorneesh.

I tried, but there were too many of them.

Ewoks by the dozens, hundreds.

I fought like a Hanadak,

but they swarmed all over me,
pulling me down

and tearing the bar
from my desperate hands.

KING GORNEESH: Hmm.

Well, it seems

our little tree-loving cousins don't want
to share their secret soap with us.

I guess we've got no choice
but to take it!

DULOKS: Yeah! Take it! Take it!
(LAUGHING)

LOGRAY: Thank you.
Thank you, everyone.

You did a wonderful job.

- Hey, look.
- (EXCLAIMS)

Look! All the trees are... (GROANS)

Gone.

Careful there. (CHUCKLES) The trees
are invisible but just as hard as ever.

Yup. That soap is amazing!

(CHUCKLES) Chack.

Now all the sunberry trees
are safely hidden from the Mantigrue.

But what about the sunberry trees
down by the river?

By the Spirit Tree,
I'd forgotten all about them.

- We could paint them for you.
- Yeah.

WOKLINGS: We'll do it.

Hmm. I don't know. It's a big job.

- Please, master Logray.
- WOKLINGS: Please.

- (CHUCKLES) Very well.
- (WOKLINGS CHEERING)

But be careful with it now.

We're running very low on soap.

I can't look.

(WHIMPERING)

Come on!

Hurry up.

DULOK : Why don't you go on a diet?
(PANTING)

We made it! Yahoo, we made it!

Nobody's home!

Well, come on.

(GASPING)

Finding a bar of soap in all this mess
ain't gonna be easy.

Well, we'd better find one
or they won't let us back into the swamp.

- Hmm.
- Hey, Shaman!

Look!

This is no time to play.

Now, find that soap.

(CHIRPING)

Mmm-hmm.

I wonder.

Stupid thing!

- (SNARLS)
- Whoa!

(MUNCHING)

Yum yum.

(GAGS)

(COUGHS, SPITS)

Here.

Give me that.

Hey! You used it all up!

(CHUCKLES)

(GRUNTS)

What else have we got here?

(GASPS)

BOTH: Ewok soap!

Come on, come on, hurry it up.

Get your foot out of my ribs.

Quit... Quit shoving! What you doing?

(BOTH SCREAMING)

Thank you.

- Save a piece for me, me, me, me.
- I want a piece for me.

(EXCLAIMS) This is more like it.

I feel like a new Dulok.

(SCREAMING)

Where's my arm?

Your arm? What about my hands?

Your head.

- (DULOKS SCREAMING)
- It's gone!

Whoa!

This soap is bewitched!

(DULOKS SCREAMING)

Keep your hands to yourself.

Wait, this soap washes away.

- See?
- (LAUGHS) Wonderful.

ALL: Huh?

If we can use this soap
to become invisible,

what's to stop us from throwing a scare
into the whole Ewok village?

ALL: Nothing!

I thought there wasn't.

(DULOKS LAUGHING)

(WOKLINGS GIGGLING)

Ooh. Look at that!

Didn't I tell you this would be fun?

That's neat!

(DULOKS LAUGHING)

(SOFTLY SPEAKS IN EWOKESE)

(IN ENGLISH) Hide and be quiet!

DULOK : Hey, that's my foot.

DULOK : Sorry.

DULOK : Look out.

Get off my tail.

DULOK : You are stepping on me!
DULOK : Look out!

DULOK : Sorry!

You can relax, g*ng.
We didn't see anything.

(BOTH GASP)

WICKET: Oh.

Oh, and we didn't even finish
half the trees.

(CHIRPING)

(SLURPS)

(CHUCKLES) No one knows we're here.

Let's go and make it scary.

Huh?

(WHIMPERS)

(SPEAKING EWOKESE)

(SCREAMING)

- (IN ENGLISH) Help!
- (SCREAMS)

(HUMMING)

Huh?

(DULOK MUNCHES)

Hey!

(WHIMPERING)

Flying brooms? Ridiculous.

(SHAMAN LAUGHING)

(GROANS) Hey, come on, you guys! It's me.

(EWOKS CLAMORING)

What's going on out here?

We are under att*ck. Chief.
We can't see what's doing it.

(WHIMPERING)

(EWOK SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE)

KING GORNEESH: (IN ENGLISH)
Heed our words, Ewoks!

We are the tree spirits.

Too long have you furry beggars
lived in our branches.

We now banish you
from this forest forever.

Go and begone.

(VOCALIZING IN EERIE VOICE)

Did you hear? Did you hear?

The tree Spirits have turned on us.

Our village is haunted!

Bordok feathers.
The trees have always sheltered us.

The spirits wouldn't drive us away.

(PANTING) Chief Chirpa. What happened?

Not now, Wicket. We've got...

By the spirit tree.

What's wrong with those woklings?

Um...

We had a little accident
with the magic soap.

(GASPS) Father, look.

CHIRPA: (GRUNTS) Dulok tracks.

I thought I heard Duloks in the forest.

But there was no one there.

Oh, yes, there was.

And they must have been the ones who stole
my last bar of shadow root soap.

Last bar?

Uh-oh. We used up ours
before we could hide all the trees.

If the Mantigrue sees
even one sunberry tree,

it will ravage through the forest
until it destroys the others,

and maybe us as well.

MORAG: Mmm. Mmm.

Sleep well, my pet.

You have a big day ahead of you.

One the Ewoks will not soon forget.

(LAUGHS WICKEDLY)

Without the magic soap,
our sunberry trees are as good as gone.

How old Morag must be laughing now.

And what's worse,

now the Duloks can become invisible
and att*ck us anytime.

Since when did Duloks care about soap?

They smell awful.

And all those bugs
swarming around them? Yuck!

Oh, that's it. When they stole
the magic soap, they must have thought

they were getting the special bar
that keeps our fur clean.

Wicket, Kneesaa, I'll need your help.

Go out with your friends
and gather all the bugs you can.

Big ones, tiny ones.

Put them all in sacks

while I brew up a little surprise
for our Dulok tree spirits. (LAUGHS)

Arise, arise.

Go forth and destroy!

(LAUGHS WICKEDLY)

(DULOKS LAUGHING)

Greedy creatures!

We'd have given them some soap
if they had only asked for it.

Thieves never prosper.

It's time the Duloks learned that lesson.

Wicket, you're the only one small enough
to sneak in and get the soap.

And don't forget
to leave this in its place.

Son, be careful.

(LAUGHING)

Sure wish I could turn invisible now.

Duloks.

By now the Ewoks
are shaking in their hoods.

Too terrified of us tree spirits to fight.

Let us return to haunt their village again
and take it for our own.

DULOKS: Yeah. (LAUGHING)

Now come on, everyone, it's bath time.

Ewok!

(HORN BLARING)

(YELLING)

(YELLING)

(HORN CONTINUES BLARING)

Get him!

(DULOKS YELLING)

(PANTING)

(ALL YELLING)

Paploo. Catch.

(DULOKS SHOUTING)

DULOK: Get it!

(LAUGHING)

(EWOK SPEAKS EWOKESE)

(EXCLAIMS, LAUGHS)

- Shh!
- (GRUNTS)

- Huh? Uh-oh.
- (DULOKS LAUGHING)

The soap, Ewok!

(GROWLS) Hand it over, Ewok!

No. No.

No.

(LAUGHING) Now Ergo, my sweet,

let's show these furballs
how terrible we tree spirits can be.

(CACKLING)

(ALL LAUGHING)

All right, Kneesaa,
Latara, open the sacks.

That soap will
attract these bugs like a magnet.

KNEESAA: Go, bugs, get them!

(SCREAMS)

(DULOKS YELLING)

Get away!

(WHIMPERING)

(GASPS, SPITTING)

We've been tricked!

(DULOKS SCREAMING)

(EWOKS CHEERING)

We've beaten the Duloks.

But we still have to deal
with the Mantigrue.

How much soap is left?

Oh, no, it's gone.

That's it. We're beaten.

Don't be sad, Wicket.
It wasn't your fault.

But it was up to me
to protect the sunberry trees.

Maybe there's still a chance.

(HOWLING)

Wicket! Come down from there!

Sure hope this works.

(SHOUTS IN EWOKESE)

(HOWLING)

Wicket, look out!

Uh-oh. Whoa!

(GRUNTS)

(SCREECHES)

(EWOKS CHEERING)

All right! Let's hear it
for our little brother.

In honor of Wicket's
cleverness and courage,

I proclaim this day a holiday.
(LAUGHS)

Won't Morag be pleased
when her pet comes back empty-handed?

Oh, Wicket, I'm so proud of you.

- (GRUNTS)
- Uh, thanks, Kneesaa.

There's just one thing I have to know.

(SLURPING) Mmm.

Yup, yup. Invisible sunberries taste
just as good as regular ones.

(EWOKS LAUGHING)
