Buddy (2026)

Post by bunniefuu »

[dark music]

[whispering]

[wailing]

[distant screaming]

[kids shouting]

[theme music]

[kids]

He's a unicorn

from a magic land

And we call his name

when we need a hand

He's a pal

who knows our names

He's the king

of fun and games

It's Buddy

Oh, Buddy

He's cuddly, snuggly,

our best friend

It's Buddy

Oh, Buddy

He's huggy

and a little bit nutty

He teaches us

right from wrong

and makes it better

with a song

It's Buddy

Oh, Buddy

Our friend until the end

It's Buddy

[mellow music]

[humming]

Oh, hey, kids!

[Wade]

Hi, Mailman Miles!

[Mailman Miles]

Guess what?

I've got mail for you.

[Mr. Mailbox]

Hey, oh, hey, hey, hey!

You trying to put me

out of a job?

[Mailman Miles]

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Mailbox.

Open wide.

[squeaking]

There we go.

[Mr. Mailbox]

Hey, kids, you've got mail.

[fanfare music]

[mellow music]

[Wade]

Oh, wow!

It's an invitation

to a dance party!

[Mailman Miles]

Wow!

I better go practice my moves.

-Bye, kids!

-Bye, Mailman Miles!

I can't wait

to dance my socks off.

-Hit it, Strappy.

-You got it.

[beatboxing]

[Freddy]

Go, Wade! Go, Wade!

Oh, yeah!

Your turn, Freddy.

I don't know, Wade.

I'm scared.

I wish we could give you

some courage.

[Wade]

Maybe we can't,

but I know who can.

Oh, Buddy!

Whoa-h*! Did someone say

my name?

-Buddy!

-Buddy!

[chuckling]

[Wade]

We're getting ready for

your big dance party tonight,

but Freddy's afraid

she won't be any good.

-That's great news.

-It is?

[Buddy]

Sure, because when you're

afraid of something,

that means it's your chance

to be brave!

[upbeat music]

[Buddy and Wade]

You gotta be scared

to be brave

You can't face your fears

unless at first you're afraid

When you want to run away

and just hide in a cave

Just remember you gotta

be scared to be brave

[all]

It can be scary

to try something new

It's scary when you don't know

what you should do

But even when it's scary,

I believe in you

And I promise that it's true

when we tell you

that it's okay to be scared

to be brave

[Buddy]

Way to go, Freddy!

I guess it wasn't as scary

as I thought.

Oh.

Oh!

[humming]

[mellow music]

Hey, what moves

are you going to do

at the dance party, Josh?

I don't like dancing.

I'm gonna go read my book.

[Buddy]

Hmm. Okay, Josh.

[chuckles]

Looks like someone else

needs to learn to be brave.

[chuckling]

Oh, hey!

I saw Oliver and Betty

at the clubhouse.

Can you show them the dance

so we'll all be ready

for the party?

I'll talk to Josh.

[Wade]

Hey, guys!

Are you excited for Buddy's

big dance party tonight?

[Betty]

You bet!

Everybunny loves to dance.

[vocal chanting]

[Oliver]

Wow, that was so cool.

[Betty]

There are dances

from all over the world.

This dance is called ballet.

Ballet dancers have to be

strong and flexible.

Tap dancing is

all about the rhythm you make

with your feet.

Special shoes with taps

on the heel and toe

make all sorts of fun sounds.

Ballroom dancing

is when two people

are dancing with each other.

It's all about working together.

[Buddy]

Hey, Josh.

Why don't you tell

your problems

to the Worry Well?

[Worry Well]

Did someone say my name?

Did I do something wrong?

[Buddy]

Don't worry, Worry Well.

We have a dance party tonight,

but Josh is afraid

he won't dance well.

I'm not afraid,

I just don't want to do it.

It's my job

to help with worries.

Let me see what I have here.

Hmm.

Oh, look.

[Buddy]

Oh, wow!

Why didn't I think of that?

Magic dancing shoes.

With magic dancing shoes, Josh,

you're sure to have

all the best moves!

Give 'em a try.

[wind chimes tinkling]

I don't want to.

[Buddy]

Just try one little move.

Show off

your magic dancing shoes.

[sighing]

I don't think so.

[Buddy]

Just stick out your foot.

Like this.

Not right now, Buddy.

[playful music]

[Buddy]

Sorry, Josh.

Those magic dancing shoes

won't go anywhere

unless you're dancing.

I just want to be left alone.

[soft music]

[Buddy]

Josh, we had a deal.

I give you

the magic dancing shoes

and you try

one little dance move.

[giggling]

[wind chimes tinkling]

I never made a deal.

I just don't want to dance!

[Buddy]

Stick your leg out, Josh,

just stick your leg out

one time.

[Josh]

Let go of me!

[Buddy]

Just stick your leg out

one time.

[Josh]

You're hurting me!

Leave me alone! I hate you!

[Buddy]

No! You don't mean it!

[Josh]

Yes, I do. Now let go of me

or I'll scream!

[Buddy]

Oh, no, you won't.

No, you wo--

[lively music]

Hey, Nurse Nancy.

Are you having a good time?

[Nurse Nancy]

No, Buddy...

I'm having a great time.

[chuckling]

[Wade]

Hey, Buddy!

Come on.

We made up a dance for you.

Because we love you.

[Buddy]

Aww.

I love you, too.

But where's Josh?

[Buddy]

That's what I wanted

to tell you.

After I taught Josh

to dance,

he loved it so much,

he decided to go

on a dancing tour

in Diamond City!

[Betty]

If you ask me, that's something

worth dancing about.

Ready, guys?

[chuckling]

Come on.

You move your leg like this

[Wade and Oliver]

And swing your arms

to the side

[kids]

And turn your head around

And you let your feet slide

[all]

You do the Buddy glide

It's the Buddy glide

Do the Buddy glide

It's the Buddy glide

To and fro, arms out wide

Don't run and hide

Do it with pride

That's how you do

the Buddy glide

Woo-hoo-hoo!

[Buddy]

I am so proud of all of you.

You put on an amazing show.

And Josh learned

how to be brave.

And now he's gonna be famous.

[Buddy]

That's right, Trashy.

Well, that's all the time

we have.

[gentle music]

[all]

You love Buddy, yes, you do

And I love each one of you

We're together happily

We'll always be best buddies

I love every one of you

I'm so glad you love me too

[dark music]

[birds chirping]

[theme music]

[kids]

He's a unicorn

from a magic land

And we call his name

when we need a hand

He's a pal

who knows our names

He's the king

of fun and games

It's Buddy

Oh, Buddy

Our friend until the end

It's Buddy

[dice rattling]

[mellow music]

[Oliver]

One, two, three.

Three, five.

[sneezing]

Oh, no. I was winning!

[Betty]

Well, no wonder

you're sneezing.

Look at these dust bunnies.

I'd like to be

the only bunny here, thank you.

[Hannah]

Hi! I'm Hannah.

I love to sing and dance!

[kids]

Hi, Hannah.

[Betty]

Looks like we came

at the right time.

We have some cleaning to do.

Do we have to clean now?

We're in the middle

of playing our game,

and cleaning doesn't seem

very fun.

I know someone

who can make it fun.

-Oh, Budd--

-Wait.

Uh, you guys get Buddy

while Wade and I,

we'll go get the vacuum.

What is it, Freddy?

Are we gonna vacuum the grass?

[Freddy]

Look.

Josh's book?

[Freddy]

I found it in the trash.

Look, it's stained.

It looks like blood.

[Wade]

Hey, Mr. Mailbox,

can you mail this to Josh

in Diamond City for me?

[squeaking]

[Freddy]

Mr. Mailbox.

What happened to your door?

[Buddy]

Hi, Wade. Hi, Freddy.

What's that you have there,

Wade?

Josh's book.

I've been looking for this.

I'll get it to Josh.

Freddy found it in the trash.

It has stains on it.

Oh, that's right.

I was painting a goodbye card

for Josh,

and Betty spilled red paint

on his book.

So, I got him a new book

and I threw this away.

Now I remember.

[chuckling]

[wind chimes tinkling]

Buddy?

What is it, Freddy?

Can we send Josh

a goodbye card too?

Of course you can.

But, first, it's time

to learn about cleaning.

Cleaning is important.

It kills germs

and it keeps us healthy.

Different jobs

need different cleaners.

Dishes need detergent.

Windows need window cleaner.

Some cleaners

are very poisonous.

Some can catch fire

very easily.

Always ask a grown-up

before handling chemicals

under the sink.

Now, let's get cleaning!

[upbeat music]

[vacuum whirring, humming]

[Freddy]

Wade, I'm scared.

I can't stop thinking

about Josh's book.

[Wade]

Seriously, Freddy?

He loved that book.

And the stains

didn't look like paint.

Of course it's paint.

-Why would Buddy lie?

-He wouldn't.

That's what I keep telling her.

[sighing]

[Wade]

Betty, I have

a cleaning question.

What did you use

to clean up the paint

you spilled on Josh's card?

I never made Josh a card.

And I certainly

never spill paint.

Hm!

[Freddy]

Wade, I'm scared.

Why would Buddy lie?

[Wade]

I don't know.

We need to talk to an adult

like Nurse Nancy.

[Strappy]

But we're supposed to be

cleaning.

[Wade]

I have an idea.

[Buddy]

Great work, g*ng.

How about a song

to really make it sparkle?

[chuckling]

[Buddy and kids]

It's time to clean,

clean, clean

Find where the dusty things

lurk

And soon it will gleam,

gleam, gleam

'Cause many hands

make light work

Ouch!

I've got a splinter

in my finger

and it couldn't hurt worse

[kids]

Better not linger

and go see the nurse

Before it gets worse,

you need to go see a nurse

Go to the nurse,

go to the nurse

Before it gets worse,

you need to go to the nurse

[Buddy]

Well, gosh.

I thought we were singing

about cleaning.

I better go see Nurse Nancy.

It could get infected.

Safety first.

Like you always say, Buddy.

[Betty]

You do always say that.

[Buddy]

Uh-huh. I guess I do.

[Freddy]

I'll go with him.

[melancholy music]

Hi, Freddy. Hi, Wade.

Hi, Strappy.

How can I help you?

[Wade]

Guess I wasn't paying attention

and I got a splinter.

Hmm.

I don't see a splinter.

[Freddy]

There isn't a splinter.

We were just pretending.

Why would you do that?

[Wade]

We wanted to ask you something.

Have you noticed anything weird

about Buddy lately?

I don't know what you mean.

We found Josh's book

in the trash.

It had blood on it.

Buddy said that Betty

spilled red paint on it,

but Betty said that she didn't.

Betty does get confused.

Um, I'll tell you what.

I'll talk to Buddy.

I'm sure there's a reasonable

explanation for all of this.

[wind chimes tinkling]

[Betty and kids]

Together

[Freddy]

Where are you going?

[Wade]

I want to hear what Buddy's

gonna say to Nurse Nancy.

[indistinct lyrics]

-That's eavesdropping.

-Don't be such a goody-goody.

[Strappy]

What's wrong

with being a goody-goody?

Better than being a snoop.

-Zip it, Strappy.

-Okay.

[curious music]

[Freddy]

Guess everything's fine.

[mellow music]

[Strappy]

Yeah, everything's fine.

Look how tightly

he's hugging her neck.

[intense music]

[slamming]

[thudding, gasping]

[whimpering]

[thwacking]

[tense music]

-Did he see you?

-I don't know.

Come on. We have to tell

the others.

[Betty, Oliver, and Hannah]

Chores can be fun

when you do them together

It's not hard...

[Freddy]

Guys! Guys! Guys!

[Betty, Oliver, and Hannah]

A little dusting

and scrubbing

[Freddy]

Hannah.

-Oliver!

-Oliver!

[Buddy, Betty, and kids]

When friends share the load,

the work is a breeze

[chuckling]

So fun!

Don't go in the clubhouse.

I just mopped.

[giggling]

[Hannah]

What did you want to say,

Freddy?

[Freddy]

That we just love cleaning

so much.

[Buddy]

Well, that's all the time

we have.

[gentle music]

[Buddy and kids]

You love Buddy, yes, you do

And I love each one of you

We're together happily

We'll always be best buddies

I love every one of you

I'm so glad you love me too

[dark music]

[birds chirping]

[kids]

Friends until the end

It's Buddy

[mellow music]

[whimpering]

[Betty]

I'm so nervous.

It's Buddy's birthday,

and I want everything

to be perfect,

but my gift hasn't arrived

from Diamond City.

[Oliver]

Don't worry, Betty.

Charlie the Train

is always on time.

And he's due right about now.

[Betty and kids]

Charlie the Train!

[dinging]

Hello, kids!

[hissing, chuffing]

Special delivery

from Diamond City.

[kids]

Charlie the Train.

And, boy,

are my wheels tuckered.

[Betty]

Oh, thank goodness.

Now we need to put up

the decorations and--

[gasping]

I don't even know

what kind of cake he likes.

[whimpering]

[Oliver]

Well, why don't we ask him?

-Oh...

-Wait!

-We can't bring him here yet.

-Why not?

Because it's

a surprise birthday party.

[Betty]

Surprise party?

What a great idea!

[Hannah]

We better get to work before--

[Freddy]

Don't say his name.

Don't even think it.

Not until we're ready.

Just say "B-word" for now.

[Betty]

That's fun.

Then I better get B-word's

present for the clubhouse.

[vocalizing]

[Wade]

Wait, Oliver, Hannah,

can we talk to you

for a minute?

[Hannah]

Of course. What's up?

[Wade]

Not here.

[melancholy music]

There's something going on

with B-word.

[Hannah]

What do you mean?

-Is he sick?

-Yes.

But not like a cold.

Like...

In the head.

[Oliver]

He is kind of silly sometimes.

He k*lled Nurse Nancy.

That's not a funny joke.

It's not a joke.

We saw him do it.

[Freddy]

And we think he did it

to Josh, too.

[Hannah]

You guys are being mean.

B-word loves us!

[Wade]

What do you know, Hannah?

You just got here.

[Strappy]

I'm sorry, guys, it's true.

I saw it too.

[Wade]

We need to go to Diamond City.

[Oliver]

Leave the park?

But B-word says it's not safe

out there without a grown-up.

Wait. Stop talking. Look!

[tense music]

Do you think

he heard us talking?

Is he gonna come to life?

But I didn't do anything wrong.

[Wade]

We can't keep him away forever.

We need to walk calmly

to the train.

[moody music]

-Hey, kids.

-Hi, Mailman Miles.

[Mailman Miles]

See you at the party, right?

[chuckling]

[Freddy]

Wait.

[tense music]

B-word is on the swings now.

[Wade]

Keep walking.

Don't look at it.

[moody music]

[Oliver]

Oh, Buddy!

[wind chimes tinkling]

[Buddy]

Hi, Oliver!

What's wrong?

[Wade]

We need to hurry.

[Freddy]

Hey, Charlie, we need to go

to Diamond City right now!

-But you'll miss Buddy's party.

-It's an emergency.

[Wade]

I'm really sick.

Oh, no.

Okay, then.

All aboard!

[dinging, chuffing]

Next stop, Diamond City!

[whistle blowing]

[brakes squealing]

Hi, guys, what are you doing?

[Charlie]

Clear the track, Buddy.

Wade is sick and I gotta

get him to Diamond City.

No, Charlie.

I'll take him to the nurse.

You m*rder*d the nurse, Buddy.

Wade, you know that's a lie.

And lying is very bad.

[Charlie]

I don't want to be

in the middle of this.

Get out of the train, Wade.

I'll take you to the nurse.

No.

Really, Wade?

On my birthday?

I'll take you to the nurse

right now.

If she says you need

to go to Diamond City,

you go to Diamond City.

Bring the nurse here.

[Charlie]

That sounds like a good idea.

Bring Nurse Nancy here.

[zapping, screaming]

[intense music]

[yelling, thudding]

[groaning]

Buddy, you promised

you wouldn't be mad.

Go back into the clubhouse,

Oliver.

This does not concern you.

[crying]

[slamming]

Everybody,

back into the clubhouse now!

[dark music]

Not you, Wade.

I need to talk to you.

You lied about me,

and you hurt my feelings.

[Freddy]

Buddy, please.

Don't worry, Freddy.

I know Wade was responsible.

Now go inside.

[Hannah]

Come on, Freddy.

[crying]

[cheerful music]

[vocalizing]

-Betty.

-There you are.

Hurry and put that sign up.

Buddy will be here soon.

-He's going to k*ll Wade.

-What?

[Freddy]

Buddy's going to k*ll Wade.

We better hide.

Buddy will be here soon.

[moody music]

[Strappy]

What are you doing, Freddy?

We're not supposed to mess

with the chemicals

under the sink.

No. Freddy.

Buddy is too powerful.

[groaning, chuckling]

[Buddy]

Why are you cutting yourself,

Wade?

[Wade]

Please, no! Ow!

[Buddy]

Stop cutting yourself.

I don't want you to get hurt.

[screaming]

You better put down

the knife, Wade.

Whoa!

What are you doing, Freddy?

I told you to stay in the cl--

A lighter?

Freddy, this isn't like you.

This is crazy.

Drop the lighter, Freddy.

Drop the lighter, Freddy.

[clattering]

That's better.

Now go back in the clubhouse.

A lighter

is a very dangerous thing.

You have to be--

[screaming]

[intense music]

[screaming continues]

[Mailman Miles]

Buddy?

[whimpering]

Buddy?

[tense music]

Well, that's all the time

we have.

[screaming]

Come hug me, kids.

[Mailman Miles]

Buddy, let's get you

to the nurse, okay?

Just give me the knife.

[Buddy]

You want the knife?

Here's the knife.

[groaning]

It's nice to share.

[squelching]

[thudding]

Kids, it's okay.

I'm not mad.

Everybody needs to calm down.

[dramatic music]

Kids, I want you to come out

on the count of three, okay?

One.

Two.

Two and three quarters.

[squeaking]

[Freddy]

Wait, Mr. Mailbox!

[Buddy]

Two and four-fifths!

[Freddy]

Hannah, come help me!

You can't hide forever.

Two and five-sixths.

[Strappy]

Um, do we really have to take

Mr. Mailbox?

No offense, Mr. Mailbox.

Three!

Ready or not, here I come.

[screaming]

[slamming]

[grunting]

[intense music]

It's okay.

It's how mistakes happen.

But friends stick together,

right?

[grunting]

-Right?

-Come on, Hannah!

[grunting]

-Come on.

-It is dangerous

outside the park.

There are monsters out there.

You're the monster, Buddy.

You're hurting my feelings.

Don't leave me!

[Wade]

Hurry, Freddy!

[grunting]

Wade, come on.

[grunting]

Pull me up, Freddy!

[Freddy]

I'm trying.

[screaming]

[Wade]

Freddy, help!

[screaming]

I see you.

[screaming]

[eerie music]

Come on, Wade.

Well, that's all the time

we have.

You love Buddy, yes, you do

And I love each one of you

It's not working.

We're together happily

We'll always be

best buddies

[grunting]

[groaning]

[birds chirping]

[bike clicking]

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Sure, yes.

Uh, well, we can work

with a, uh,

a whole variety of budgets

to fit any project, yeah.

Yes, absolutely.

[Timothy]

Mom!

Oh, uh, Diane,

can I call you right back?

Okay. All right, thank you.

[Timothy]

But what if that one falls off?

Well, that's why I use two.

So they can look out

for each other.

[chuckling]

[cellphone vibrates, dings]

Oh, my God, okay.

Okay, let's go.

I gotta go get your brother.

Let's go.

Hi!

I'm so sorry I'm late.

Sorry, thank you.

Good to see you.

Sorry I'm late.

How was the party?

[Derek]

Fine.

[Grace]

What is that?

Is that a goldfish?

[Derek]

Everyone got one.

For going to the party,

I guess.

[Grace]

Oh, wow.

You know, in my day,

just the birthday kid

got presents.

Maybe this will be fun.

What was the name

of the goldfish you had before?

-I never had a goldfish.

-Yes, you did.

Oh, maybe it was a betta fish.

Oh, my gosh,

you loved that fish,

but then you said

that you wanted a pet

you could actually pet.

Do you remember that?

Was I a baby or something?

No.

No.

Maybe it was Timothy?

I mean, who does that?

Gives a kid a fish?

Without asking?

It's like, who's gonna clean it?

[Timothy]

I will.

[Ben]

Bud, you don't even clean

your room.

[Timothy]

Yeah, I do.

I just did clean my room.

Guys, dinner, come on!

[dish clattering]

Derek, no headphones, honey.

-It's just one.

-But our dinner

doesn't need a soundtrack.

Our lively conversation

is enough.

Come on, everybody!

[Ben]

We're literally all here.

[chuckling]

Let's dig in.

Ooh, what do you guys got?

Nuggets.

"Imagine whirled peas."

Get it?

'Cause it sounds

like "world peace."

-I don't get it.

-"Whirled peas"

sounds like "world peace."

[Timothy]

But what are whirled peas?

I mean, is that really a food?

Is it really?

[Ben]

Yeah, it's peas in a blender,

something like mashed potatoes.

I don't know, it's just

a funny bumper sticker I saw.

[Derek]

But people don't eat that.

Not a food, is it?

[Ben]

Well, maybe it's not a food,

but it's not like

you can't whirl a pea.

[muffled chatter]

[eerie music]

-Doesn't make sense to me.

-Look, guys,

puns don't have to be

literal, okay?

[screaming]

[panting]

Honey?

[eerie music]

She's fine, thank God.

Mom just had a little something

going on with her stomach,

but she's better now.

Why don't you try

to get to sleep, okay?

Goodnight.

[door closing]

[exhaling]

[eyeglasses clattering]

-Hey.

-Hi.

I am so sorry about that!

[Ben]

No, come on, it's okay,

just walk me through it again.

You said the chair was...

cursed?

[Grace]

No.

It just, uh...

It was the worst feeling

I've ever felt.

Just an icy-cold...

hole.

[Ben]

Oh.

We'll move the chair.

We hardly use it, anyway.

-We'll just move it.

-It's not about the chair.

Okay, then, uh,

we won't move the chair.

The important thing is,

you feel better now, right?

No, I don't.

I'm sorry.

Oof!

Gonna look for a therapist

tomorrow.

-Oh! There you go.

-Yeah.

[Ben]

What a great idea.

Yeah.

Therapist.

Good thinking.

By the way.

I don't think there's

anything embarrassing

about self-care.

Oh yeah, neither do I.

[Ben]

Exactly.

All right.

[light clicks off]

[Grace]

Seat belt.

[door opens]

[eerie music]

[door closes]

[Derek]

Mom! What are you doing?

[Grace]

Yeah. Sorry.

[therapist]

The empty chair

could represent a feeling

of absence or loss.

Why do you think

you might feel that way?

I don't know.

[therapist]

How's the relationship

with your husband?

[Grace]

Fine. It's good.

Do you think

that I can get meds?

[therapist]

Well, that's one of the tools

we have at our disposal, but...

[Grace]

Mm-hm.

[therapist]

I'd like to go a little deeper,

maybe hear how you're feeling.

Grace?

Grace?

[Ben]

Well, it's not about the time

but about the money

and your grades.

We had a deal, remember?

[Derek]

I already promised

Nate and Chris

that I'm going, though.

[Ben]

Okay, so, that's my fault?

[doorbell chimes]

[chair scraping,

running footsteps]

Good evening.

I'm Dr. Deborah Burr.

-You must be Grace.

-Yes. You're early.

I sensed a greater urgency.

[faint voices echoing]

Hi. Uh...sorry, uh,

who's this?

Uh, this is Dr. Deborah Burr...

-Clairvoyant parapsychologist.

-...and she's a...um...

So, you hired a psychic?

-You must be Ben.

-Oh, okay.

Did your powers

tell you that?

[Grace laughs nervously]

Ben, just, um...

Uh, please come in.

[Dr. Burr]

Show me the rest

of the house, please.

[Grace]

Okay. Okay, go ahead.

Our intuitions are

more perceptive

than our conscious minds.

-Ben thinks I'm crazy.

-Huh!

I've been called crazy

many times.

Spiritual anomalies

often manifest themselves

subconsciously as

an abiding sense of wrongness.

And persistent unease.

[Grace]

That's what I've been feeling.

[Dr. Burr]

Was this room always an office?

[Grace]

Yes.

As long as we've lived here.

It's Ben's.

Although sometimes,

we use it as a guest room.

[Dr. Burr]

There's very powerful energy

in this room.

[thud]

Someone who lived in here

experienced something terrible.

[Ben]

It's me.

I'm experiencing

something terrible.

Can we wrap it up?

[sharp, clattering thuds]

[Dr. Burr]

I'll need the whole family

to gather in the dining room.

[Grace]

Okay.

[exclaims]

[Ben]

How much are you paying her?

Of course,

she's drawing this out.

[Grace]

Please, let her finish.

[Timothy]

What are we doing here?

Who is she?

[Dr. Burr]

I'm Dr. Deborah Burr.

-She's not a doctor.

-I am a doctor.

[Ben]

I mean, she's not a real doctor.

-Ben.

-Could we just hurry this up?

[chair scraping]

[Dr. Burr]

Join hands, please.

So we may attempt

to contact the presence

in this house.

O spirit

who resides here,

make your presence known to us.

Give us a sign,

let us know your name

so that we may help you

to move on from this--

[Buddy]

Hi there!

[goofy laugh]

-How are you?

-Did you hear that?

[chairs scraping]

[Buddy]

Will you be my friend?

I'm always looking

for a new friend.

I know I just met you,

-but I love you very much.

-Oh! There's your ghost.

Someone left the TV on.

[Grace]

Wait, no! Don't.

[breathes heavily]

Did you see that?

There's kids,

there's a unicorn, did you...

Oh, God, where did it go?

Uh...

Okay, I think we're done here.

[Dr. Burr]

As you wish.

I take Venmo.

It's just...it's bad enough

you didn't tell me, but...

in front of the kids?

[Grace]

I thought you'd be at baseball.

Oh, okay, so...

Thought it'd be easier

to do it behind my back?

[he scoffs, sighs]

[Grace taps at laptop keyboard]

Hello?

What are you doing?

The, um...the show

with the orange unicorn,

the one that Dr. Burr summoned?

[Ben]

My God.

She didn't summon anything.

I searched everywhere,

and there's...

there's no mention of it.

[nervous giggle]

It's just some forgotten

show from the '90s.

Yeah, but there's nothing.

I think I'm gonna

make some calls tomorrow.

Calls? Who you gonna call?

More psychics?

Bring more kooks

to the house? Grace.

[clicks shut]

What's goin' on?

I feel like

we have a third child.

What?

[Grace]

We've always said

we wanted three kids.

And the gap between

Timothy and Derek...

is...

[Ben]

Are you kidding?

You're kidding, right?

You--you're saying

you have a kid

that you don't remember having?

Okay, this is--sorry,

you're actually starting

to scare me a little bit.

I know. I'm scared, too.

I'm really scared.

-I'm, I'm ter--

-No, no, no, no, no.

This has to stop, okay?

-This is crazy.

-I know.

I know that it is crazy.

Please be here with me.

[Ben]

I am here, I'm-I'm...

right here, okay?

Where the hell are you?

What the hell?

[Grace]

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

You're not listening to me!

[muffled arguing]

[soft music]

What's next, Grace?

You gonna have

all the conspiracy photos

on the wall

with all the strings?

You saw the show.

Did you or did you not

see the show?

-Yes.

-Okay. So, then--then there's--

there's nothing anywhere.

-Explain that.

-Okay.

Lemme get this straight.

The imaginary unicorn from TV

kidnapped our kid,

erased our memories,

the memories of all their

teachers and their friends,

and then snuck into

a Social Security office

and erased all that information,

too. Whoa!

It's a busy unicorn.

Ben, please...please...

Is our real family

not enough for you, Grace?

I-I-I give everything

to this family.

I've given everything.

[sighs]

I know, I'm...

[sighing]

I just--I need you to...

take the time to fix...

whatever this is.

Okay?

Because if you bring our kids

into this again,

our real kids,

bring a scam psychic

into the house,

we're gonna have

a much bigger problem.

I can't be around you

right now, I can't.

-Oh, really?

-Yeah.

[Ben]

Okay. Well,

the feeling is mutual.

[door softly opens]

[video game noises]

Hey.

Hi, hi.

No electronics, okay, sweetie?

Let's put that away.

What were you and Dad

fighting about?

Nothing.

Um...people can love

each other very much

and still fight.

-Can I ask you something?

-Yeah.

Have you ever seen a show

with an orange unicorn?

-No...

-Okay, good.

If you ever see it,

you turn it off,

and you come tell me, okay?

-Okay.

-Okay.

I'm gonna take this, okay?

Let your brain rest.

[remote clicking,

voices on TV droning]

[TV clicks off]

[dramatic musical chord]

[sounds of children playing]

[dark music]

[gasps]

[tense music]

Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

-Oh, my God.

-Oh, thank God.

[grunts]

Guys, I can hear you!

Come on, it's way

past bedtime, g*ng.

What?

[exclaims]

[sounds of struggle]

[thudding]

[shattering crash]

[staticky blips]

[echoed barking of dog]

[ominous music]

[breathing heavily]

[Hannah]

I can't run anymore.

[breathing heavily]

[squeaking]

[Freddy]

There, there, Mr. Mailbox.

It's okay.

[Hannah]

No, it's not. Nothing's okay!

We don't even know

where Diamond City is.

[Oliver]

I wish Wade was here.

He'd know what to do.

You coulda pulled him over!

You shouldn't have let go,

Freddy.

-Sorry.

-And now, he's dead!

[Freddy]

You're the one who opened

your big mouth to Buddy!

Mailman Miles is dead

because of you.

Charlie the Train is dead.

-He said he wouldn't be mad!

-Please don't fight!

Remember that song

about fighting?

You can never win a fight

Because even if you're right

You hurt somebody else

And also hurt yourself

When you...

Oh, my gosh. Look!

Diamond City!

[uplifting music]

[Oliver]

Now I know

why they call it that.

It sparkles just like diamonds!

[Freddy]

It's beautiful.

[whimsical music]

Uggh, ohh...

[twinkling chime]

Hello, Buddy!

I'm Nurse Grace.

Oh, of course!

Uh, hi, Nurse Grace.

Oh! It's been a long day.

Oh, my goodness. Buddy...

You don't look so good.

Oh, Nurse Grace!

It was horrible!

They let a monster in

from the outside!

The monster told them

to burn me,

and then,

they ran away with the monster.

Oh, no!

Are the kids in danger?

[Buddy]

Yes!

I-I kept calling for you.

"Nurse! Nurse!"

I needed your help,

but you--you never came.

I'm so sorry,

I-I-I didn't hear you.

Oh, I feel terrible.

[Buddy]

I can't end the episode

without them.

I hug the kids

and sing the song

and the words come up.

It all resets,

and I magically heal.

I've got to go save them.

Let me help you save the kids.

[Buddy]

No.

You stay here,

in case they come back.

But don't believe

anything they say, okay?

Their heads are filled

with lies!

You got it.

Uggh, all I do is love them

and try to teach them

right from wrong.

You are so wonderful,

and they should realize that.

Oh. Hug me, Nurse Grace.

Of course, Buddy.

-Oh!

-Mm!

[Buddy]

Harder.

[Grace laughs]

Oh, sing to me.

Sing to me that you love me?

[Grace]

Of course, Buddy!

I love Buddy, yes I do

I'm so glad

you love me, too

We're together happily

We'll always be best--

[wet squelching]

Uh...oh...

I love Buddy, yes I do

Uh... um...

I'm sorry.

[dark music]

You need more... bandages.

[she whimpers]

[music intensifies]

[music stops abruptly]

[limping footsteps]

Have a great day!

[children]

One small step

Will bring you

closer to your goal

It's not as hard as it seems

One small day

You'll find you're at your

destination achieving--

I have to go to the bathroom.

[Hannah]

Just go outside.

[Oliver]

I...don't want you

to see my p*nis.

Nobody wants to see your p*nis!

[Freddy giggles]

[Freddy]

Just go behind a bush.

Have you never went outside

before?

I don't know.

I don't remember.

Come to think of it,

I don't ever remember

going to the bathroom before.

What's a p*nis?

-Don't worry about it, Strappy.

-Oh.

[birds chirping]

[Oliver]

And I don't want

Strappy looking, either.

I can't go

if you're listening!

Can you...talk or sing

or something?

We're going to Diamond City

Where things aren't so...

shitty

[Freddy]

Hey! That's a bad word!

What's "shitty"?

[Freddy, sighing]

It's like "poopy."

[Strappy]

What's "poopy"?

[Freddy]

You have a lot to learn,

Strappy.

[urine trickling]

Hey!

What's the big idea,

peeing on me?

[Hannah]

Oh. It's just a flower.

[flower]

Just a flower?

I still have to finish peeing.

Not on me, thank you!

[light, bright music]

[Hannah]

We're going to Diamond City

Where faces are zitty

Isn't it a pity?

Well, tough titty!

[laughter]

Why are bad words so funny?

[urine trickling]

[bicycle bells ringing]

[Oliver breathes heavily]

[Oliver]

I think I hate peeing outside.

[Buddy]

One small step

Will bring you closer

to your goal

It's not as--

[sniffing]

Huh.

[ominous music]

Hm!

Hi there, little flower.

Uh, hello.

Such nice glasses!

They go with your petals.

T-thank you.

Did you see some children

walking through here?

[flower]

Y-yes. Three children.

They were talking a lot

about Diamond City.

On foot?

That's a couple of days' walk.

Are you sure they're not

hiding somewhere?

N-n-no, Buddy, I wouldn't lie.

Did they say anything about me?

N-no, not that I recall.

[Buddy]

Hm.

Thank you, little flower!

-[flower exclaims with relief]

-[Buddy chuckles]

One small step will bring you

closer to your goal

[children]

It's not as hard

as it seems

[Freddy]

Fish!

[soft music]

[Hannah]

There's so much more out here

than I expected.

[pebble splashes into water]

Don't scare them, Oliver.

I had a pet fish

when I was little.

I remember wishing

I could pet it.

[Oliver]

You remember

when you were little?

Do I?

How did we get here?

-We climbed over the fence.

-No, I mean with Buddy.

How did we get

to be with Buddy?

I don't know.

I've never thought

about it before.

I feel like I've

always been with Buddy.

Well, that's weird,

'cause we just met you.

[Freddy]

I mean, there had to be

something before Buddy.

Right?

[soft insect and pond sounds]

[Buddy]

Kids!

Hello!

-It's Buddy!

-[children breathing heavily]

Come out! I have food!

You must be hungry.

I know you didn't mean

to do what you did.

We're still friends, right?

We still love each other,

right?

Wade is feeling much better.

It would cheer him up

to see you guys.

[tense music]

It's going to get dark soon.

It's not safe after dark.

You have to trust me.

Come back!

Guys, I know you must be

really sorry.

I'm not mad, I promise.

I think we all wanna get back

to how it used to be.

[Oliver]

He is magic.

Maybe they're okay?

[Freddy]

Then where are they, Oliver?

I'm sorry,

but I think he's been

lying to us for a long time.

[dark music]

[animal crying]

[Hannah]

It's almost dark.

[Oliver]

I can't remember it

getting dark before.

It's kinda nice.

[Hannah]

When he said

it's not safe after dark,

was that a lie, too?

[soft, sad music]

[Freddy]

We can sleep over here.

I have the lighter!

We could build a fire.

[Oliver]

We're not supposed to build

a fire without grownups.

[Hannah]

There are no grownups, Oliver.

[zipping bag]

Let's go get wood.

[flames crackling]

[Oliver]

I'm thirsty.

[insects chirring]

[Freddy]

Here's a juice box.

Some candy.

A fork.

The dance party invitation.

Would you like that,

Mr. Mailbox?

[softly squeaking]

Don't worry,

we'll get you to Diamond City,

get you fixed up.

[dramatic musical chord]

[Willie]

Hoo-ee, I can't remember

the last time I saw a mailbox.

Especially with

a couple children in tow.

-Who are you?

-I'm Willie.

This is George.

Forgive his state of undress.

We don't stand much

on formality these days.

Mind if we join you?

[Strappy]

Freddy, I don't think

this is a good idea.

[soft, tense music]

[Willie]

I see you're fellow escapees

from Happy Town.

-We're going to Diamond City.

-Oliver!

[Willie]

If you're worried

we're in cahoots

with the big,

citrus-colored fella,

we aren't.

He's as mad at us

as he must be at you.

Did you guys used to live

in the park, too?

[Willie]

Is it a park now?

It was an old Western town

when we were there.

If you share your food,

we might tell you our tale.

[George breathes excitedly]

[Willie]

Mm!

Exquisite.

Anyway, there was a kid, Larry,

bit of a class clown.

We had this, uh,

song at the end, you know,

when the words come up?

I love Buddy, yes I do

I'm so glad

he loves me, too

We have that song, too.

[Willie]

Larry thought it would be funny

to sing the song

with mean words.

Like, instead of "I love you,"

it was,

Stab your heart

and kick your knee

Buddy, you're my enemy

When Buddy heard Larry's song,

he got very angry,

like it was hurting him.

He changed.

So, Buddy hurt Larry,

hurt him real bad.

We barely got out ourselves.

That's the last

we saw of that place.

Exiles, I suppose.

[George]

Mm!

[flower]

Ow!

[George inhales deeply]

Ah.

Mm!

Mm.

It tastes like--

like butterscotch.

You should try some.

[flower]

Hey!

-Ow!

-Freddy! No!

What are you doing?

[Hannah]

Wow, you're right.

-I love butterscotch!

-So did I.

Once.

You have a pretty face.

How dare you, George!

[dramatic musical crescendo]

Ain't I enough for ya?

[kissing noises]

Oh, my bear!

[noises continue]

-I love you!

-I love you, too, George.

This one's for you.

[jauntily picked guitar music]

I'm homesick

for the open spaces

Homesick for familiar places

I wish I could just have

one tiny taste of bein' home

[George]

Home, home, home!

[Willie]

I'm homesick

for the old homestead

Homesick for my featherbed

Before I lay down dead,

I want to hang my hat at home

[music morphs

into thumping electronica]

[autotuned voice]

I'm homesick

but so far away

Homesick,

waiting for that day

A walking stick

Please, let me get back

to my simple home

[voice echoing]

Flowers.

Wade?

Why'd you drop me, Freddy?

[Freddy]

I'm sorry.

[Wade]

You k*lled me.

I was just so...scared.

You should be. You're weak.

Without me,

you're all gonna die.

[echoing clang]

[Buddy]

I see you!

[scream]

[soft, tense music]

[echoing thud]

[soft, persistent squeaking]

Strappy?

Where's Strappy?

Strappy?

[Hannah]

Strappy!

[Freddy]

Strappy's missing!

[Hannah]

We'll find him, don't worry.

[children all call "Strappy!"]

[Freddy]

Strappy!

Strappy, where are you?

-Strappy!

-Strappy!

[Hannah]

Strappy, where are you?

[Oliver]

Is anything else missing?

[ominous music]

They took him!

For the candy.

Come on! We need to go!

[Oliver]

Wouldn't it be better to just

get help in Diamond City?

I'm sure they have policemen

and everything.

[Hannah]

Yeah, we're so close, and...

they can help us

get Strappy back.

No.

I left Wade behind.

I'm not leaving

Strappy behind, too.

[Oliver]

But aren't you scared?

[Freddy]

Of course I'm scared!

You've gotta be scared

to be brave. Remember?

Isn't that what

the dumb song's all about?

Fine.

I'll go by myself.

[Willie]

f*ck! That is good!

Oh, oh, that's good!

[Willie]

We have seven left.

We can each have one a week

for three weeks

and then share the last one.

-It's not right to steal.

-Shut up, backpack!

Or we'll put you in the swamp.

[insects chirring]

[slurping]

Why...

I forgot how good

apple juice tasted.

Like fine wine.

-[sharp slurping]

-Sip, George! Sip.

Make it last.

Uh...uh, guys?

[Willie]

What'd I just say?

George, put him in the swamp.

Oh, sh*t!

[Willie laughs nervously]

Hi, Buddy!

Didn't hear you comin'.

[Buddy]

Well, that's all the time

we have.

You love Buddy, yes you do

And I love each one of you

We're together happily

-Happily!

-We'll always be best...

-Happily!

-Oh, the words aren't coming up.

-Happy!

-I guess you're too old!

-[Buddy chuckles]

-Happy!

Happy!

-[Buddy grunts]

-[squelching crash]

George! No!

[Buddy]

Where are they, Willie?

[Willie]

In the prairie,

out of their gourds,

probably still asleep.

[Buddy chuckles]

-Thanks, pal.

-No, please! Please!

I've always loved ya.

I've always cared about ya

so much more than the others.

-Have a nice swim.

-Agh!

[water splashes]

[gurgling]

[sinister music]

[chuckles]

[Strappy mutters]

[Buddy]

Hey, kids!

-[strap tears]

-[Strappy screaming]

I have Strappy for you!

[Freddy]

Leave him alone, Buddy!

[Buddy chuckles]

[creatures chirring]

[Buddy]

Freddy!

I've missed you.

[Strappy]

Freddy, no!

It's a trap! He--

[Strappy screams]

Put him down!

[Buddy]

We were just playing around.

It wasn't anything serious.

I'm here now,

so what do you want?

I just want a hug,

so we can end this episode

and start fresh.

You must be so tired of running.

[bike bell chimes]

-What the?

-Woo-hoo!

[Buddy]

Get back here!

[Hannah]

Come on!

[dramatic music]

That was so cool!

[Hannah cheers]

[Oliver]

And brave,

like something Wade

would have done.

[majestic music]

[Freddy]

You were brave too.

We did it.

[Hannah]

Of course,

friends stick together.

Friends are forever

[Freddy]

It's okay, Hannah,

you don't need

to sing about it.

[laughing]

[Oliver cheers]

[Oliver]

Diamond City, here we come!

-[cheering]

-[bike horn beeping]

[music distorts]

[gasping breaths]

[grim music]

[object clatters]

[panting]

[sinister musical flourish]

[Buddy]

Well, that's all the time

we have!

[kids screaming]

[sinister theme music]

You love Buddy,

yes you do

And I love each one of you

We're together happily

We'll always be best buddies

I love every one of you

I'm so glad you love me too

[chuckles]

[sinister music]

[energetic music]

[kids]

He's a unicorn

from a magic land

And we call his name

when we need a hand

He's a pal

who knows our names

He's the king

of fun and games

It's Buddy,

oh, Buddy

He's cuddly, snuggly,

our best friend

It's Buddy,

oh, Buddy

He's huggy

and a little bit nutty

He teaches us

right from wrong

and makes it better

with a song

It's Buddy,

oh, Buddy

Our friend until the end

It's Buddy

[soft music]

[whimpering]

I'm mad at you guys.

I'm not gonna share

my baseball with you.

[Hannah]

What?

Oh, Buddy!

[twinkling sound]

-Whoa!

-Buddy!

[Buddy chuckles]

[Buddy]

Hi there, Tyler.

Oh, what's wrong?

[Tyler]

We were playing baseball,

but they hurt my feelings

by running away

when I was winning,

so now I don't want to play

with them.

But, Tyler,

these are our friends.

If they say they're sorry

for running away,

then it's important

to forgive them.

[Tyler and Buddy]

Nobody's perfect

We all make mistakes

But it's important

to acknowledge

that apologies are great

But they didn't say sorry yet.

[Buddy]

Kids, do you have

something to say?

[soft music]

[whimpering]

[Oliver]

We're sorry.

[Hannah]

Yeah, sorry, uh...

[Tyler]

Tyler.

[Hannah]

Sorry, Tyler.

[Buddy]

And what about you, Freddy?

Are you sorry

for running away?

-[thud]

-[Freddy yelps]

Freddy, I can't hear you?

[dark music]

I'm sorry.

[Buddy]

See?

Doesn't that feel good?

I accept your apology.

Now who's ready

for some baseball?

Yay!

[Buddy]

Freddy, go to the nurse

while we warm up.

And come right back, okay?

Okay.

[mellow music]

[mysterious musical flourish]

Hi.

I'm Nurse Grace.

I'm Freddy.

I like that name.

Have a seat, Freddy.

[Grace gasps]

Oof.

That's a nasty cut.

[soft music]

Now, this might sting a little.

It's okay.

Did you get this cut

from a monster?

[sinister music]

You know Buddy's a monster?

What?

I meant the...

Do you think Buddy's a monster?

I guess I'm just crazy.

I doubt that, Freddy.

[bandage wrapper rustles]

Maybe it's the world

that's crazy.

Guess it's just better

to pretend everything's okay.

[Nurse Grace]

No, Freddy, that never works.

You have to trust yourself.

[soft music]

You used two.

[both]

So they can look out

for each other.

Batter up.

You ready, Freddy?

[Buddy chuckles]

[Freddy]

Bye, Nurse Grace.

Bye, Freddy Beans.

[bright music]

[Buddy chuckles]

[mellow music]

[Buddy chuckles]

[Buddy]

I'm so glad that everything

is back to normal

in time for our big game.

It makes me want to sing.

[Tyler]

I'm proud of you.

I didn't think

[coughing]

Like my song.

I like to think

I had a hand in that.

I have such a big heart.

Can you feel all the blood

from my big, big heart?

[coughing]

You love Buddy,

yes you do

And I love

[grunts]

[blood squelching]

[Freddy panting]

[Strappy]

I'm scared, Freddy.

I can't--I can't--I can't--

I can't catch my breath.

[Strappy panting]

[Freddy]

It's okay, Strappy.

You gotta be scared

to be brave

You can't face your fears

unless at first you're afraid

When you want to run away

and just hide in a cave

Just remember you've gotta

be scared to be brave

[Strappy panting]

[soft music]

[eerie music]

[Buddy recording]

Hi there.

[Buddy chuckles]

How are you?

You seem a little lonely.

My name is Buddy.

Will you be my friend?

I'm always looking

for a new friend.

I know I just met you,

but I love you very much

and I think

you're gonna love me too.

[laughs]

Would you like to sing a song?

Do you like to dance?

We play lots of games here.

There's always

lots of friends around.

Do you want to come play

and be my friend?

Just give me a high five.

Just give me a high five

and we can play.

Doesn't that sound fun?

[Buddy chuckles]

[somber music]

[muffled speaking fades]

[static zap]

[screen burbling]

It's okay, guys.

We might get out of here.

[Strappy]

Okay, I'm ready.

See, guys?

I knew we would make it out.

Mr. Mailbox?

Oh, Strappy.

No.

[vocalist]

Walkin' the streets

of this town

Lookin' for the place

you might be found

-I keep lookin'

-I keep lookin'

-I keep hopin'

-I keep hopin'

-I keep waitin'

-I keep waitin'

[vocalist]

And hesitatin'

to go into the wrong place

in town

Many times I've walked

through the door

Of h*nky-tonks where

you've been found before

And always on that barstool

you look down

For I found you

in the wrong place in town

Mr. Bartender, have you seen

a girl about so high?

Her eyes were shining

and her lips like cherry wine

And when she left, I think

she had a red dress on

And if I don't find her,

the only one I ever loved

is gone

Walkin' the streets

of this town

Lookin' for the place

you might be found

-I keep lookin'

-I keep lookin'

-I keep hopin'

-I keep hopin'

-I keep waitin'

-I keep waitin'

[vocalist]

And hesitatin'

to go into the wrong place

in town
