02x11 - Just My Luck/Bringing Up Norky

Post by bunniefuu »

Ewoks!
We're the Ewoks, friendly 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!

(SPEAKING EWOKESE)

We're the friendly Ewoks
We like adventure

Helping friends in danger
out in the forest

Sharing in 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!

(SPEAKING EWOKESE)

MALANI: Hmm.

-Hold still, Baga.
-(NEIGHS)

I want to get this just right.

Hey, pretty good, Malani.

Yeah. Not bad for a shrub bush, huh?

It is not supposed to be a shrub bush.

It's supposed to be Baga.

(SNEEZES)

(EXCLAIMS)

Oh, no. My painting!

Oh. I quit.

I'll never, ever be a good painter.
(CRYING)

Don't cry, Malani.

You can't let a little bad luck
make you give up on your dream.

I know. I almost quit
trying to be a warrior once.

Really?

Yeah, it was back when we were
all taking our skills tests.

LOGRAY: Go ahead, Teebo. Do your magic.

That's a full grown tibbett plant?

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Well, it will be.

Did you pass, Teebo?

(STUTTERS) Did I, Master Logray?

Congratulations, young Teebo.
You may train to be a wizard's apprentice.

TEEBO: Ee Chee Wa Wa!

I passed! I passed!

I'm going to be a wizard someday.

Oh, uh, gee, did you guys pass your tests?

Yes. I passed my test to be
leader of the tribe.

And I'll be training as a hood maker.

Designer hoods, of course.

Now, if only Wicket can pass
his warrior's test tomorrow.

Wicket? Oh, he's a cinch.

All he ever thinks about
is being a warrior.

I know, but he's awfully nervous.

Gotta pass the warrior's test.

(SHOUTS IN EWOKESE)

(GRUNTS) I gotta pass the warrior's test.

(SHUDDERING)

Just think, Kneesaa.

If Wicket chokes tomorrow,
he'll never be a warrior.

(SCREAMS)

(SHOUTS IN EWOKESE)

BOTH: Wicket?

Oh.

Wicket, you're too nervous
about your test.

Yeah, maybe I am just
a little worried, Kneesaa.

TEEBO: Worry no more, Wicket buddy.

Luck is on your side.

Ta-da!

I brought you this lucksprite,
so you can relax.

'Cause you'll have luck
for your test tomorrow.

A lucksprite, huh?

Okay, let's see you prove it.

You got it.

ALL: Ee Chee Wa Wa.

Gee, I feel relaxed already.

I'm a cinch to pass my warrior's test.

Why, I'll bet I make a score
nobody's ever made before.

I don't think anybody's
ever made a score like this before.

No kidding. Wicket's blowing every event.

(SCREAMS, GRUNTS)

(ALL MURMURING)

Teebo, what happened to your lucksprite?

I don't know. I don't see him.

(CHUCKLES)

Gotta pass the warrior's test.

You know, I love my work.

(SHOUTS IN EWOKESE)

(SNARLS)

(SCREAMING)

Oh, come on!

(MURMURING)

(EWOKS SCREAMS)

(SCREAMS, GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

I'm sorry, Wicket, but you failed
your warrior's test.

Failed?

(SIGHS)

-You had so much promise, young one.
-No!

But, Chief Chirpa,
I dream about being a warrior.

Well, perhaps you can
retake the test someday,

but for now, I'm afraid
your marks make you

a bordok stable sweeper.

Um, assistant bordok stable sweeper.

You'll report to Orlo, the bordok master.

That's me.

Congratulations, Wicket.
We'll start training tomorrow.

Oh. Poor Wicket.

Talk about choking.
Dropping the ball. (EXCLAIMS)

Crash and burn.

What could have gone wrong?

I had luck going for him and everything.

You sure did.

You won't find a better bad lucksprite
than me anywhere.

ALL: Bad lucksprite? (GASPS)

(SCREAMS)

Whoa!

(ALL SPITTING)

BOTH: Teebo!

(LUCKSPRITE LAUGHING)

Bye-bye, bub!

Gee, I never asked
if he was a good lucksprite.

Well, let's look at the bright side.

When Wicket finds out it wasn't his fault,
he's gonna be thrilled.

No, you're just trying
to make me feel better.

No, really.

He was a bad lucksprite.

And my dad says you can even take
the warrior's test over again.

No, I found my true calling, Kneesaa.

-These bordoks are my family.
-(NEIGHS)

But Wicket, you've dreamed
of being a warrior all your life.

Just dreams, Kneesaa.

(GRUNTS)

Yes, this is my life now.

Whoa, whoa!

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a lot of sweeping to do.

Teebo, you've got to find your lucksprite
and get him to explain things to Wicket.

In the meantime, I've got an idea.

Why am I the one who has to be rescued?

Remember, Latara,
we're building up Wicket's confidence

so he'll pass another warrior's test.

Here he comes.

Oh, if only a brave Ewok
like Wicket were here.

Latara?

A warrior, in my time of need.

(STUTTERS) A warrior?

Um, wait here.

I'll go find you one.

You're the warrior I need.

Now come over here and save me.

My hero.

My... (SCREAMS)

You... (SPITTING) You lerdo!

That does it.

Wicket, where you going?

To the cavern of broken dreams.

We gotta find Teebo and that lucksprite.

I've never seen Wicket so miserable.

Here we are, the cavern of broken dreams.

(SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY)

Now make sure
you explain everything to Wicket.

Please come out, Wicket.

Never! Leave me alone.

Wicket W. Warrick, are you going to let
a little bad luck turn you into a quitter?

Come on. Oh, no!

ALL: Kneesaa!

LATARA: We're cut off!

(GASPS)

(GIGGLING)

(GASPS) My lasso lace!

(SCREAMS)

-Help!
-Kneesaa?

BOTH: Kneesaa!

-You mean...
-You...

(BOTH SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

(GIGGLES)

Help!

Hang on, Kneesaa. I'm coming.

Whoa!

(SHOUTS IN EWOKESE)

(GRUNTS)

-Oh.
-(EXCLAIMS)

Not bad, little Ewok,
but I've got more bad luck for you.

-We're almost across, Kneesaa. Grab it.
-Whoa! Look out!

-Hang on.
-(GIGGLES)

-Gotcha.
-(MUFFLED SPEAKING)

(SHOUTS IN EWOKESE)

BOTH: Whoa!

(GRUNTING)

(GASPS)

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTS)

Wicket, thank you.

Well, I guess I'll go back
to my cavern now.

Wicket, you saved me,
like a great warrior.

No Ewok warrior
has ever broken my bad luck.

Never.

Uh, no Ewok warrior?

Not the mightiest of the mighty.

The mightiest?

Not the greatest of the great.

The greatest?

Oh. What am I gonna do now?

(CRYING)

Here, Orlo will have an opening
for a new bordok sweeper.

Wicket!

How could a great warrior like me
let a measly lucksprite stand in his way?

I'm going to pass that warrior's test.

Naturally, I passed my warrior's test
the next day with flying colors.

Now, Malani, do you know the moral
of Wicket's story?

Don't give up on your dreams.

Uh, right.

WICKET: You're getting better, Malani.

That looks a lot more like Baga.

(GRUNTS)

But, Wicket, it's supposed to be you.

Oh, yeah.

Lucky me.

(SQUEAKING)

(SCREECHING)

Thanks again, Shodu, for taking care
of our little Norky while we're gone.

It's always a pleasure.

Kavark! Norky again.

He always gets me in trouble
when he stays.

How sweet, Norky.

Really? He doesn't look
so bad to me, Wicket.

Just wait.

That's the last batch of cookies, Mom.

You may each have one,
but save the rest for dinner.

Will be back tomorrow, son.

Now mind your manners.

I'll do everything Shodu tells me.

Aren't you going to have one, Norky?

I'm going to have more than one.

Catch!

(BOTH GRUNTS)

BOTH: Hey!

-SHODU: Wicket! Teebo!
-(GIGGLES)

Oh, Shodu, those cookies
were so delicious,

I can see why Wicket and Teebo
selfishly ate them all.

Thank you, Norky.

Now Wicket,

go borrow some acorn paste from Kneesaa
so we can make some more.

I'm starting to see what you mean.

(PURRS)

Good afternoon, Princess Kneesaa.

Ooh, Wicket, who's your friend?

Never mind.

We need to borrow some acorn paste, okay?

Sure, but we've got to be quiet.
The warrior council is meeting inside.

Why don't you stay here?

Hmm.

Here, boy. Look what I've got.

Go get it.

-(OBJECTS CLATTERING)
-(EWOKS SHOUTING)

What you doing?

What's gotten into you?

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTS)

(CLICKS TONGUE)

Kneesaa, I told you not to disturb
the warrior council meetings.

-But, Father...
-Excuse me, Chief Chirpa.

Perhaps next time you should leave

someone responsible
in charge of the bordok.

Hmm.

Perhaps I should.

(PLAYING FLUTE)

-Hi, Latara.
-Hi.

-You must be Norky.
-At your service.

Why, thank you.

You know, you're not as bad as they say!

Oh! Why, you... If I get my...

(EXCLAIMS, COUGHS)

Watch out for the mud, Shodu.
Poor Latara didn't.

What? Why you little...

(SPITTING, COUGHING)

Go wash up, Latara dear.

You know, I'm having such a good time.

Do you think I could stay longer?

Of course you can.

You were right, Wicket.

-He sure is a pain in the...
-Mud puddle.

If Shodu lets him stay,
he'll keep getting us in trouble.

I think it's time Norky
took a little vacation.

KNEESAA: I hope Master Logray
won't mind us using his globe.

It's so small!
I don't see how anyone can use it.

I can fix that for you, Latara.

(CHANTING IN EWOKESE)

(ALL GASPS)

ALL: Teebo!

Whoa! Watch out!

Stop globe.

(GRUNTS)

(SHOUTS IN EWOKESE)

Look out below!

Look out above.

-Well, at least we stopped it.
-Or it stopped you.

So, where should we send Norky?

How about the Lightning Forest?

He'll be b*rned to a crisp.

How about the Molten Mountains?

(SPITTING)

Come on, you guys.

We don't want to hurt Norky.

ALL: We don't?

We just want to teach him a lesson.

How about the Vacant Valley?

It's far away, but looks harmless.

(ALL GRUNTING)

I still don't see why we have to
use my glider to fool Norky.

-(SHUSHES)
-(POUNDING)

Here he comes. Come on!

Oops, the map.

Gee, has anyone seen
that treasure map I lost?

Treasure map?

TEEBO: You mean the one
that leads to untold riches?

KNEESAA: Yeah, you have the glider
ready to go, right, Wicket?

Sure did.

I sure hope no one takes it
before I find the map.

And if they do, I hope
they're very careful with it.

It worked.

Gee, maybe we shouldn't have
tricked Norky.

Don't worry, Kneesaa.

Nothing's going to happen to him
in the Vacant Valley.

LOGRAY: Teebo!

Yes, Master Logray?

I seem to have misplaced
my map of the Vacant Valley.

Have you seen it?

(SPUTTERS) The Vacant Valley? Uh, why?

Every hundred seasons,
large holes appear in the Valley,

sucking everything underground.

I'd like to observe it.

Large holes? Sucking?

I think I know where the map is,
Master Logray.

Uh, but we have to go get it.

Oh, no.

Norky is gonna get sucked underground,
and it was my idea.

Looks like this way.

(RUMBLING)

This must be it, the Vacant Valley.

Oh, no, it's already started.

Look, there's my glider!

Or what's left of it.

Oh!

My poor glider.

We better find Norky fast.

Kneesaa, you and Latara
search from the sky.

Oh!

Teebo and I will go on foot.

-(SCREAMS)
-(RUMBLING)

But Wicket, you'll get sucked under.

I can handle that.

Come on, Wicket. Stand on these vines.

-Okay, good. Now, there!
-There what?

Ee Chee Wa Wa.

We'll jump over the holes
with these magic shoes.

Whoa!

(SCREAMS)

(CLEARS THROAT) Good work, Teebo.

Come on, Latara. We better find Norky
before it's too late.

Teebo, wait up.

Norky!

Norky!

Wicket, do you think
we'll ever find Norky?

(RUMBLING)

(BOTH COUGHING)

(NORKY COUGHS)

WICKET: Norky!

Oh, it's you.

Come on, Norky.
We've got to get out of here quick.

And miss out on the treasure?

No way.

There is no treasure. We tricked you.

No treasure?

Yeah, we were just trying
to get rid of you.

Get rid of me? Why?

-You were driving us crazy.
-And getting us into trouble.

Then why did you come after me?

We never meant for you to get hurt, Norky.

You're still our friend.

Gee, I...

I didn't know I had any of those.

Come on, let's get out of here.

(ALL GASPS)

(ALL SCREAMING)

NORKY: Oh, no!

WICKET: Hold on. Everybody hold on.

-I can't. I can't.
-Here! Teebo!

(KNEESAA AND LATARA SHOUTS IN EWOKESE)

Quick, grab on.

-Kneesaa.
-Latara.

(ALL SCREAMING)

Oh, no, they're going under.

Latara.

(GRUNTS) Okay, you know what to do.

ALL: Help!

Grab hold.

(ALL GRUNTING)

We can't reach it.

Don't worry. I got it.

EOWK: Okay, take us out of here.

LATARA: On our way!

(INDISTINCT CHEERING)

Sorry I was kind of a, you know...

Lerdo?

Yeah.

I'd like to come visit again.

Sure, Norky. We'll have a great time.

You sure it was no trouble, Shodu?

No, Norky was a delight.
