02x01 - The Crystal Cloak/The Wish Plant

Post by bunniefuu »

Ewoks!

We're the Ewoks, raggedy Ewoks

Living in the tall trees
Living in the spiral

Dancing in the forest
On the moon of Endor

Ewoks all together
And we're having fun

Friends together
Friends forever

Ewoks

We're careless little Ewoks
We like adventure

Helping friends in danger
Out in the forest

Sharing all the magic
On the moon of Endor

Ewoks all together
And we're having fun

Friends together
Friends forever

Ewoks!

We're the Ewoks, yeah!

Behold, Ewoks.

Today, young Wicket starts gathering
trophies for his belt of honor.

Wicket, this is your first step

toward becoming an Ewok warrior.

-(ALL CHEERING)
-Way to go, Wicket!

That's my boy.

Good going, Wicket.

CHIEF CHIRPA: As a warrior, you will
defend our village in times of danger.

You will protect your friends.

(SNARLING)

(GROWLING)

WICKET: Dengar Ewoks!

ALL: It's Wicket! We're safe!

Our hero!

CHIEF CHIRPA: A warrior also
guardsthe powerful Sunstar,

the magic gem the Ewoks have kept safe

since the trees were young.

And here is the silver feather of duty

you've already earned.

Ee Chee Wa Wa.

CHIEF CHIRPA: Once you've
filled your belt of honor,

you'll be proclaimed an Ewok warrior.

Thanks, Chief Chirpa.

KNEESAA: Congratulations, Wicket.

My dad says you'll be
a great warrior someday.

Thanks, Kneesaa.

It might take some time, maybe all week,

but I'm gonna fill up this belt.

(CHUCKLES) I'm afraid
training to be a warrior

will take much longer
than a week, young one.

Longer?

We'll just see about that.

TEEBO: Whoops! Whoa!

Oh, no. Oh, I wish I were as good
a wizard as Wicket is a warrior.

(UTTERING EWOKESE INCANTATION)

That's better.

-LATARA: Teebo!
-Oh, Latara. Oh! Oh! Uh-oh.

Just look at my crystal.

It's broken.

Teebo, you're almost
a wizard's apprentice.

Fix it for me, huh? Please?

(GULPS)

(HEART b*ating)

Pretty, pretty please.

I'd love to, Latara, but I can't.

Well, what good are you then?

(HEART b*ating)

(HEART BREAKING)

But, Latara, no Ewok wizard can do that.

Not since the Crystal Cloak was stolen.

-Crystal Cloak?
-Sure.

Whoever wears the magic cloak

could turn anything
into crystal just by touching it.

Now, that's for me.

TEEBO: But the cloak
was stolen years ago

by the terrible Gracca
of the Floating Mountain.

It says here only a great warrior
could get the cloak back.

Hmm... A great warrior, huh?

LATARA: So when I heard that
only the greatest of warriors

could possibly get this cloak back,

I immediately thought of you, Wicket.

Won't Chief Chirpa be impressed
when I return that cloak to the village?

Look, that's where we're going.

WICKET: Ee Chee Wa Wa!

You never told me
about a floating mountain, Latara.

Oh. It must have slipped my mind.

Besides, you're not scared, are you?

A warrior scared? Ha! Follow me.

-Look out!
-LATARA: Whoa!

(BOTH SCREAMING)

(GROANING)

LATARA: Help! Get me down!

Uh-oh!

Wicket!

Come on, Latara, don't be afraid to...

jump.

Well, let's find that Crystal Cloak.

(SCREAMS)

What is it?

Someone turned this beast into crystal.

Oh. It must have been
that horrible Gracca.

Gracca? Who is that?

Oh. Did I forget to mention him?

(SQUEAKING)

(SQUEAKING)

So, after all these years,

the Ewoks have come
for their Crystal Cloak.

Thank you for warning me, my pet.

(YELPS)

Oops!

Now I lose more pets that way.

And now for the Ewoks.

WICKET: The Floating Mountain, the Gracca.

Anything else you
failed to mention, Latara?

LATARA: Well, I just thought
they were minor details.

See how you like these details, Ewoks.

Hey, look, it's raining little crystals.

Hmm.

(RUMBLING)

Uh, Latara, do you feel something?

(SCREAMS)

WICKET: Ee Chee Wa Wa!

It's a crystal forest.

Another minor detail?

I didn't know a thing about it.
Honest, Wicket.

Oh! Wicket!

WICKET: Ee Chee Wa Wa!

Slide off.

BOTH: Whoa!

Run for it.

Oh, no. We're done for. Doomed. History.

KNEESAA: Grab on.

BOTH: Kneesaa!

Kneesaa, where did you come from?

Not that I am complaining.

Teebo and I followed you. Hold on.

We're going to land.

You and Teebo followed us?

-Well, where is he?
-TEEBO: Look out below!

Whoa!

I'm here.

When Teebo told me Latara
was looking for a great warrior

to get the Crystal Cloak,

I knew I'd find you two together.

Come on. We better get out of here
before the Gracca finds us.

I'd like to know why the Gracca
stole the cloak in the first place.

GRACCA: To rule this mountain!

You see, anyone who won't serve me,

I turn into crystal.

Okay, Gracca, hand over the cloak.

Okay, so I should have said, "Please."

(GRACCA LAUGHING)

Come on, Wicket.

We gotta get that cloak.

Teebo, do you have anything
in your magic pouch to help us?

How about my ekubi powder?

Whoops!

-Whoa!
-WICKET: Teebo!

-Gotcha.
-Oh, boy! Oh, boy!

GRACCA: There's no place
to run, Ewoks. (LAUGHING)

Quick. Pull him up.

Duck!

(GRACCA CONTINUES LAUGHING)

Kneesaa, your lasso lace.

Dangar!

Got it.

My cloak!

(GROANS) No!

Well, that's the end of the Crystal Cloak.

Oh, what a terrible waste.

GRACCA: Ewoks!

You'll pay for that.

-Here I am, Gracca.
-Wicket, no!

WICKET: Take your best sh*t.

(GRACCA RESUMES LAUGHING)

(GRACCA GROANS)

No!

Let me out of here.

Let me go.

Wicket, you were brilliant.

I was, wasn't I?

So what do you think
of my crystal, Kneesaa?

It's a great start
for your belt of honor, Wicket.

Yeah, and Latara got her crystal, too.

LATARA: Mmm... Oh... Whoa!

Hey, Wicket,

you didn't tell me
I'd have to carry my crystal back.

WICKET: Oh.
It must have, uh, slipped my mind.

Please. Oh, please.
Don't you die on me too.

You're my last hope.

(PLANT GROANS)

That's it.

(COUGHING)

(EXHALES)

(GASPS)

(COUGHS, EXHALES)

Oh, Baga, I can't keep anything alive.

The village will never trust me
with their Soul Trees.

WICKET: Kneesaa, are you done gardening?
Ee Chee Wa Wa!

What happened here?

-Oh... My last flower just d*ed.
-Don't worry, Kneesaa.

There are still plenty of other plants

that you haven't k*lled yet.

Oh. Oh! I mean...

(BOTH LAUGHING)

(SNARLING)

They're right.

I'm a terrible gardener.

(GASPS) Baga, what's going on?

(GASPS)

Don't be frightened, Kneesaa.

I'm the Leaf Queen,
ruler of the fall season.

Would you do me a great favor
and take care of this special plant?

Me? I'd love to, but my plants
always wither away.

(GRUNTS)

Trust me, Kneesaa.

Just give it lots of love
and you'll do fine.

But Leaf Queen...

LEAF QUEEN: I'll return
in three suns' time.

Hi, plant.

We're gonna take good care of you. I hope.

Have you seen Kneesaa?

Is she with that dumb plant again?

Yep. She hasn't taken
her eyes off it in the past three days.

See what I mean?

Ah... Just look at it.

Have you ever seen a cuter plant?

What? That pampered weed?

Kneesaa, what's this strange spot here?

Is your plant all right?

Spot? Where?

(BRAYS)

Whoa!

Stop!

Are you all right, Kneesaa?

No, look at me.

I can't. You're a mess.
(LAUGHING)

Baga!

(LAUGHING)

Oh, I wish I had something
to help clean me up.

(GASPS)

It's a brush.

Thank you.

Hey, Kneesaa, how'd you do that?

I just wished for something.

Wish for something else. Hurry.

Okay.

I wish for something pretty to wear.

Thank you again, little plant.

Here, Baga.

It appears the Leaf Queen
gave you a wish plant, Kneesaa.

Wish plant or not, it's still adorable.

Hmm. You know, I wouldn't mind
a wish plant myself.

Drink up.

Come to Aunt Latara.

I wish for something
to make me more beautiful

than I am now, if that's possible.

A mask?

What's that supposed to mean?

Listen, if you want to keep those roots,

you better start delivering the goods now.

Ah, yes. This is much better.

Now, I think I need...

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hi, I'm Wicket.

And I wish for something
to help me get my belt of honor.

Ow!

Try again.

Hey, a do-it-yourself warrior kit.

That's more like it.

Ah, Wicket, the warrior.

-Hey!
-I got it. I got it!

Gee, you don't look so good anymore.

Well, I'll only ask for a few
teeny-tiny magic powders.

Whoops!

Thank you, Teebo.

Hey, come back here.

Thank you, Latara.

Wicket, that's mine.

Latara!

Huh?

Hey!

Oh! What's happened to you?

Look what you've done.

Uh... It doesn't look so bad to me.

(CHUCKLES WEAKLY)

Hello, Kneesaa.

I've returned for my plant.

-Oh! Leaf Queen, your plant is, uh...
-Sleeping.

-Your plant is sleeping.
-Huh?

Sleeping?

It's true. Kneesaa's
been giving it naps every day.

Now, you wouldn't want
to wake it up, would you?

Well, no but do you know what happened

to the last creature
who harmed one of my plants?

ALL: No.

This.

(ALL GULP)

LEAF QUEEN: I shall return
before the sun goes down

and my plant better be waiting.

What am I gonna do?

I'm gonna be turned into a pile of leaves.

I'm going to be the best friend
of a pile of leaves.

Kneesaa, don't worry.

All we have to do is come up
with another wish plant.

Leave it to me.

(CHUCKLES)

WICKET: Out of all
the plants in the forest,

I can't find one that
looks like Kneesaa's.

(BAGA BRAYING)

Good boy, Baga.

This looks just like the wish plant.

(GRUNTING) Yeow!

Oh, yeah?

(GRUNTING)

So you wanna play rough, do ya?

(EXCLAIMING IN EWOKESE)

TEEBO: Kneesaa! Whoa!

I made some magic sunberry dust

to bring your plant back to life.

Really? Oh, Teebo.

Stand back.

O, Great Spirit of the light,

bring this little plant back to life.

Nice work, powder fingers.

As usual, no results.

Huh? Whaa...

Teebo!

(CHUCKLES WEAKLY) Maybe Wicket's
having better luck.

Now!

I got it.

This will satisfy the Leaf Queen.

No problem.

Yeow!

-(BAGA BRAYING)
-(WICKET EXCLAIMING IN EWOKESE)

LATARA: Kneesaa,
why don't you take a break?

Let me help.

I can't.

The Leaf Queen will be here any minute.

Sorry, Kneesaa.

-I f... F...
-Failed?

Struck out?

Bombed?

And I don't have a potion.

Uh-oh...

She's here.

WICKET: We'll explain everything
to the Leaf Queen.

She's got to understand.

No, it's my responsibility.

I'll tell her.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

-Well?
-Your plant, it's, well, dead.

-What?
-It's really our fault, Leaf Queen.

Please don't turn her
into a pile of leaves.

How about a pretty
little bush or something?

Kneesaa, didn't you love the plant?

Yes.

Didn't you take good care of it?

I tried to.

Well, then...

-I can't look.
-Me either.

It looks fine to me.

But... But...

I told you, all it needed
was a little love.

She said a little love, Kneesaa.

Just a little.

So you see, Kneesaa,

you'll take good care
of the Soul Trees one day.

I understand.

I guess I'm not such
a bad gardener after all.

Seeds? For me?

LEAF QUEEN: Plant them before the snows
and you won't be disappointed.

See? Everything worked out.

I knew it would.

Say, Kneesaa,

you think those seeds
might grow into wish plants?

Yeah. How do you feel about sharing?

Hey, I asked her first.

Save one for me.

Oh, yeah? Come on.
I went into the forest...

TEEBO: Don't make me
throw powder on you!
