One, two, three, four

Who's that knocking at my door?

Five, six, seven, eight

Hurry up and don't be late

Nine, ten, eleven, twelve

Got a secret I can't tell

Flap your fins, flip your tail

School's out, ring the bell

La, la, la, la

Ooh

La, la, la, la

La, la, la, la

Ooh

La, la, la, la

One, two, three, four

Who's that knocking at my door?

Five, six, seven, eight

Hurry up and don't be late

Nine, ten, eleven, twelve

Got a secret I can't tell

Flap your fins, flip your tail

School's out, ring the bell!

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

[FLY BUZZING]

[THUDS]

MR. MUSSELS: Dreams are important.

Everybody's gotta have a dream.

Don't you ever give up on your dreams.

[CRIES] Of course, I gave up
on my dream once,

and I don't ever want
to meet that man again

that I became when I went through that.

[SOFTLY] Now, go to your dreams.

I don't have a dream.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

Mmm-mmm.

Yeah?

Um, what happens if I don't have a drea...

Milo, don't you even finish that sentence.

Everyone needs a dream.

They feed the heart.

They keep you company.

Milo, without a dream,

you're gonna end up cold,
hungry, and alone.

What's gonna happen
if I can't find my dream?

[WIND BLOWING]

[LAUGHING]

Gotcha!

-I love my dream.
-Hooray for dreams.

Look around, leafy,
everyone has a dream...

but me.

[VOCALIZING]

Looking at all these fishy dreamers

Leaf, makes me want to scream

I need to find something to feel special

I just need to find myself a dream

[WHISPERS]
I'd steal your dreams if I could.

[GASPS]

Look at all these fishy dreamers

Makes a man, makes a man

Makes a man like me feel afraid

I don't have a dream
To make me feel special

So for now I say good night

Good night

Good night

Good night. [SNORING]

Uh, good night?

-[GASPS]
-Hi, Milo. Yay!

I'm flying!

[LAUGHS]

-Hi, Milo.
-Apples?

MILO: This is the happiest
I have ever been!

[BEEPS]

Hey. I got my dream.

BEA: Uh, why are you dressed like that?

It's called a getup.

It adds flair to my dream.

So you figured out what your dream is?

[GASPS] Congratulations.

Yup, I'm gonna fly around the world.

And just like Mr. Mussels said,

if I dream it, I can do it.

Mr. Mussels didn't mean
a literal dream, Milo.

I tried to tell him,
but he just won't listen.

Fish can't fly, Milo.

I'm gonna have to build up my strength
to achieve this dream.

Better start with plenty of fluids.

One lemonade, please.

[WHISPERING]
Oscar, don't worry about it.

This is just a Milo moment.

It's so ridiculous,
he will never accomplish it.

We may as well just humor him.

Yeah, you're right. Sorry, Milo.

This is going to be the grandest
adventure ever, Oscar.

The grandest.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

[MALLET CLANGS]

[BALLOON EXPLODES]

We really should stop him now.

Just a little longer.
Let him get it out of his system.

[SCREAMS]

-[MILO GROANS]
-[FIRE ALARM BEEPING]

-FERRET: What's the matter with you?
-Look what you did.

-What were you thinking?
-Fish can't fly.

You ruined everything.

Oh, those snake dogs were right.

Oscar, I'm a total failure.

You're not a failure, Milo.

Fish just weren't meant to fly.

Oh, I guess not.

Poke me if you need me.

I'm gonna put my earplugs in
to block out your crying.

Well, good night.

[SIGHS] Good night.

[LAUGHS]

Ugh. Can't sleep.

I won't stop dreaming about flying.

[GROANS]

Look at you,
giving up on your dreams.

Is that what you wanted, Milo?

Sometimes, the answers
are right in front of you.

Right in front of me?
But I... Hey, my pops.

Those are for my mouth!

That's it. It was right in front of me.

[MALLET POUNDING]

Uh, what are you building?

Oh, this?

A bird trap.

-A what?
-A bird trap.

You said it yourself. Fish can't fly.

But birds can.

[CAWS LOUDLY]

Milo, that's not what I meant.

Oscar, just let him
get it out of his system.

-Give it an hour and...
-[BOTH SCREAM]

Milo, what are you doing?

Mounting destiny.

Yah! Yah, bird. Yah!

-[SHRIEKS]
-[CAWS]

-[CHITTERS]
-Yah! Yah! Yah!

Airborne, I say.

[SCREAMS, GRUNTS]

Milo, you've got to get out of there.

Stay.

Ow! Ow! Ooh.

Why won't you obey your master?

[SHRIEKS]

Don't deny me my dream!

This isn't a dream. This is madness.

[BOTH GRUNT]

[GASPS]

No!

MR. MUSSELS: Wait!

[CONTINUES SCREAMING]

Shh. I couldn't sleep.

I was awakened by the scream
of a broken dream.

Milo, what are you doing out here
with this bird?

Don't you lie to me.

Me... me want to fly.

It's just a dream he had
the other night, Mr. Mussels.

He's taking it literally.

Milo, do you want to fly
with all your heart

and would you sacrifice everything to fly?

Then that, my boy, is a real dream

and your friends should be supportive.

Oh, I'm sorry, Milo.

I guess we didn't realize
how important this was to you.

We thought by us not helping you
with your crazy scheme,

it would keep you from getting hurt.

Stop recapping. I still need to fly.

Well, it may be crazy,

but you have our full support now.

BIRD: And mine.

You can talk?

Milo, don't!

Yes, yes.

Then why have you just been squawking
and pecking at me?

How would you like it
if someone trapped you in a cage

and started jabbing you with a stick?

[GRUNTS]

I'm... sorry.

You are forgiven, Milo.

I guess no matter how bad
you want a dream,

it never pays to be selfish.

What a great

lesson you learned, Milo.

With that kind of noble thinking,

I'd like to help
make your dream come true.

But I want to share this dream with...

with my friends.

Now, that's the spirit.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[ALL CHEER]

Hey, guys, watch this.

[GASPS]

Oh, don't abuse your privileges, Milo.

-Sowwy!
-Everyone, look.

-[CHIRPING]
-These are my children.

They're wonderful!

How do you all like flying?

ALL: We all love it!

This crazy bird has apples
under his wings.

-Apples?
-Yes, Milo.

I always carry apples
under my wings.

Hungry?

Look, Milo, this really is
your dream come true.

-[CRUNCH]
-Yes. Yes.

They're delicious, yes?

Oh, bird, thank you for helping me fly.

Yes! Yes!

-BIRD: Ah!
-[FIRE ALARM BEEPING]

FERRETS: Boo. Fish can't fly.

[CHITTERING]

[OSCAR SINGING]

Oh, first you take the paper

Then you take the plastic

Then you take the metal

And put it in the basket.

[LAUGHS]
Recycling, what a hoot.

I'm having a great time
getting ready for Earth Day.

Hey, Milo, come here.
You're missing out on all the fun.

Ow! Hey.

[SLURPS, BELCHES]

Milo, what are you doing?

You took one sip from that soda.

Oh, the first sip of a soda
is always the best.

[SLURPS] After that, it's all downhill.

Look at the mess you're making!

Relax, bro.

Just let me throw another roll
of paper towels on it.

Zing, zing, all better.

Ah! Come on, Milo, this is ridiculous.

It's Earth Day at school tomorrow.

We celebrate by recycling.

You've got to recycle.

Bro, I'm just not into recycling.

And besides, I don't celebrate anything

unless there's a magical dude involved.

What? A magical dude?

Bro, you know I love magical dudes.

Dudes like Fish Santa Claus,

or the Easter Bunny Fish,

the Happy Hanukkah Gefilte Fish,

and Kyle Massey.

OSCAR: Uh, what holiday is he from?

MILO: Oh, no holiday.
I just think he is a magical dude.

Sorry, Oscar.
Since Earth Day has no magical dudes,

I'm not celebrating, so... nyah.

Hmm. [GASPS]

Say, Milo, Earth Day
does have a magical dude mascot.

[LAUGHS] Yeah, right.

Well, what's his name?

Uh, uh, what do you think his name is?

Is it... The Earth Troll?

Yup, that's his name, Earth Mole.

Troll. Earth Troll.

Yes, Earth Troll.

Ooh! I've always wanted
to meet the Earth Troll!

You have to hook me up, bro.

Hook yourself up, bro.

He only comes if you recycle.

Recycle? That's it?

Huh. Well, then.

It's working.

[SIGHS]

Now I'll wait patiently
for the Earth Troll to come.

[GIGGLES] Oh, I can't wait.

Hmm.

-Gear up
-[SCREAMS]

Putting on gear

It is totally awesome

Getting ready, putting on gear

Time for the young troll
to get out of here

Earth Troll ahoy!

Hoo! Hah!

Foosh! Pachoo!

[SNORES]

[GASPS, COUGHS]

Why am I dirtier than usual?

Oh, my gosh! [STUTTERS] Could it be?

Yes. It is I, the mighty Earth Troll.

Oh. You're here. I can't believe this.

Believe it, dude,
for it was your recycling

that summoned me here.

So I did good, Mr. Troll?

Good job, Milo. Good job.

[GIGGLES] Oh, you.

And as a reward,

I brought you a keychain.

Oh.

It's even got a bottle opener on it.
That's pretty cool, you know.

Gee, thanks, Mr. Earth Troll.

Well... uh... be seeing ya.

[SPLATS]

[PANTING]

Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!

I vow to keep recycling
and saving the Earth

so I can hang out
with the Earth Troll again.

I'm gonna recycle forever!

[SNORING]

[BELCHES]

I've got a whole new vision
It's a brand-new day

It's time to start living
the Earth Troll way

Paper, cans and bottles
We put 'em where we oughta

'Cause that is the Earth Troll way

Milo?

Making old stuff new, that's what we do

Like turning a frown upside down

[IN FRENCH] Recycler.

What's that there? Plastic in your hair?

Drop it over there.

Recycle!

Hey, you wanna try?

Recycle!

[MILO SINGING]
Living the dream, keeping it green

Hear what I say?
That's the Earth Troll way!

-Oscar. Hey, Oscar.
-Oh, hey, Bea.

Oh, this would make
some awesome compost.

What is going on with Milo?

MILO: Biodegradable!

I've never seen him like this.

And the Earth Troll said,
"Good job, Milo,"

and then gave me a keychain.

And now me and the Earth Troll
are like best buddies.

Milo, you're crazy.

Crazy about recycling.

Up top.

And who is this Earth Troll?

[GIGGLES] Well, I didn't want to say,

but I got Milo to think
that whenever he recycles,

a magical Earth Troll will come and visit.

Oh? And where would he get that idea?

Well, I kind of made him up,

and then dressed up as him,
and I kind of made an appearance.

Oscar. How dare you put on
a so-called performance

and you don't even bother to call me?

Wait. What?

I am a professional actress.

I want in.

[SNORING]

[GASPS, COUGHS]

Yes. Dirt. Oh, my gosh, you're back!

Yes, Milo, and...

Oh, look, I've brought a friend.

BEA: Ladies and gentlemen,

give it up for Mrs. Earth Troll!

[FUNKY MUSIC PLAYING]

Ta-da! [PANTING]

Anyways, Mr. Earth Troll,
you were saying?

Good job on recycling today.

-Really?
-Yeah. Huh.

Well... be seeing ya.

No, no, we're not finished here.

Oh.

Hey, Milo, don't you wanna know
the story of Mrs. Earth Troll?

I even wrote a song about it.
Can I sing it to you?

Nah. I've got to rest up

so I can do more recycling
than ever before.

Nighty-night. [SNORING]

Oh, come on!

[ALARM RINGING]

[GASPS, COUGHS]

Wha… wha... What's going on here?

Good morning, my brother.

Check it out. I'm saving water
by filling the tank up halfway.

Oh, the Earth Troll will be so impressed.

Oh, man. What have I done?

[MILO LAUGHS MANIACALLY]

Recycle, recycle, recycle.

Recycle, recycle, recycle...

-Hey, Milo.
-Hey, Bea.

So I heard somebody else
visited you last night.

A "Mrs. Earth Troll" from what I gather?

Uck. I did not like her at all.

Come on!

Bea. I'm so glad you're here.

It's Milo. He's out of control.

Now he's even making new clothes
from his old underwear.

Can't you just tell him to stop?

No! He won't even listen to me.

He'll only listen to you-know-who.

Well, then suit up, underpants boy,

'cause we're gonna put on
an encore performance he'll never forget.

[MILO LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

-Hey, Milo.
-Earth Troll.

Oh, and it's you again.

Oh, come on!

Mr. Earth Troll,
I've done so much recycling.

About that, Milo. We, uh...

We've gotta talk to you
about how much you're recycling.

It's not enough, is it?

No, no, no, you're doing great.
It's just that...

There's gotta be something more I can do.

No, there really isn't.
We just wanted to ask you to...

Join forces with you?

[GASPS] Oh, my gosh!

Earth Trolls unite!

Now I'm a magical dude too. Whoo-hoo!

So, you couldn't have just let him
be a slob, could you?

[HUMMING]

-Glasses!
-What the...

Your glasses, they're made of glass.

-They can be recycled.
-Ah!

My glasses!

[TIRES SCREECH]

Whoo. Thank goodness.

Ow!

[MR. MUSSELS SINGING]

Dip dip do, dip dip do

Mr. Mussels is taking... a break

Hey, where's all the toilet paper?

Paper. Recycle.

Hey, recycling is great,

but can you spare a square?

Oh, my gosh, everything's recycled.

We're... we're too late.

[GROANS]

BOTH: Mr. Baldwin!

It's not too late.

He said something about
saving everybody power.

[GASPS] Bea, I think I know where he is.

I've got to do this.

I've got to do something big and dramatic.

By turning the power off to the tanks,

I'll save everyone so much energy.

Milo, don't do it!

You've turned into a recycle-path!

But we have to do this.

It's for the good of the Earth.

[TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYS]

Uh, Milo, we've got a confession to make.

What? Bea and Oscar?

Then what have you done
with the real Earth Troll?

There is no Earth Troll.
I made it all up to get you to recycle.

So all of my hard work was for nothing?

OSCAR: No, Milo,
it wasn't all for nothing,

because taking care of the Earth
is a good thing.

But I forgot you were crazy, Milo.

And like recycling,
craziness and being green

should be separated and sorted
like bottles and cans.

Never should they be combined.

Aw.

All I wanted to do was to hang out
with the magical dude.

-[CHIMES]
-[GASPS]

Did somebody say
they wanted to hang out with me?

ALL: The Earth Troll!

Yes, my children.

Your good, Earth-friendly deeds
have summoned me.

Good job, buddy.

Here, have a keychain.

It's got a flashlight on it.

It's pretty cool.

[STUTTERS]

Recycling is good. Keep recycling,

but don't go crazy.

Yes, Mr. Earth Troll.

Well... be seeing ya.

Wait. Stop.

Will I ever see you again?

I'll always be here

in this recycling bin.

ALL: Wow!

Yeah. Let's all recycle!

MOUSE: They're here,
they're here, they're here!

Finally, I'll have
total control over others.

What you get? What you get? What you get?

[LAUGHS] X-ray specs.

Ooh, at last. No secrets.

I'll know everything.

What is it? What is it?

Ugh. OMG.

That was awesome!

[SNAKE GASPS] Who wants ice cream?
