01x15 - Lost and Foundation

[bunniefuu]

This is me, eliza thornberry.

Part of your average family.

I got a dad, a mom,
and a sister.

There is donnie-- we found him.

And darwin?
He found us.

( Jabbering )

Oh, yeah, about our house--
it moves.

'Cause we travel
all over the world.

You see, my dad hosts
this nature show

And my mom sh**t it.

Okay, so we're not that average.

( Panting )

And between you and me

Something amazing happened...

And now I can talk to animals.

It's really cool

But totally secret.

And you know what?

Life's never been the same.

( Cawing... )

( Chirping... )

( Squeaks )

( Laughter... )

Eliza:
are you ready?

Boy:
yes.

'Cause this is

My special,
extra fast ball.

Come on.

Give me something
I can hit.

( Laughs )

Don't say I didn't warn you.

( Panting )

Did you see that?

That's got to be
a home run!

( Both giggling )

( Panting )

Oh, what is that smell?

It smells like
rotten meat.

Ben, it's that flower.

( Sniffs )

Ugh...
Ew!

( Both laugh )

Nigel:
playtime is
an important exercise

In socialization
for these young cubs.

Marianne, you look smashing
in that gown.

Where on earth
did you get it?

The closet.

I wore it to the awards show
last year.

It's all coming back to me--

The gown, the shoes,
your frantic reediting

Of the highlight reel
before the ceremony...

And you had
a perfectly dreadful time.

Everyone fell asleep
during my highlight reel.

They're not going to
this year

Because I've got...
Polar bears!

Yes, the darling little
cubs capering about

In all their fuzzy,
cutiepoo-ness.

Oh, you're right.

It needs something else
to shake them up.

Uh, here...
( Mumbling )

Oh, it's not all bad.

There are the endless droning
speeches to look forward to

And of course,
the customary catfish dinner.

( Gasps )

I know-- k*ller whales!

( Buzzing )

( Laughing )

( Continues laughing )

That was great!

Yeah, let's go
back there tomorrw.

Sure.

We're flying back
to michigan tomorrow.

Can't you kids play
somewhere else?

Ben's going on the seaplane
with mom and dad.

Benjamin,
hello.

Got your tuxedo

Out of mothballs
for tonight's big show?

You're going to the
documentarian awards?

Yeah, I can't wait.

Are you going?

We went last year.

What she means is, it's boring.

We sat there

For four hours,
all dressed up.

Tell him about the catfish.

Just watch it on tv.

Then you could turn
down the sound.

Or pop in a video.

Wow, it's on tv?

Oh, yes.

The local station always
broadcasts the awards.

Did you know that television
makes one look

Terribly roly-poly?

You may not recognize me,
unless I do something.

I know, when I get up,
I'll do this with my hands.

( Gurgling )

( Plane approaching )

That would be the plane.

Benjamin, would you be a good
lad and ride down to the dock?

Tell the pilot
we'll be

With him
straight away.

Sure, mr. Thornberry.

Dad, I think

( Cooing ):
the little friends want

A moment alone.

Oh, of course.

( Guffawing )

Well, benjamin.

Eliza was absolutely
ecstatic to meet you.

Dad.

Right.

Meeting you had no impact
on her young life.

It was business
as usual.

Dad!

I'll just go hurry
marianne.

It's been cool.

Hanging out, I mean.

Really?

I mean... Yeah.

Don't forget
to write.

How does he ride
with no hands?

He just can.

( Debbie laughing )

( Nigel guffawing )

Gross.

Who is that?

Marianne:
oh, aren't you adorable?

I was looking
for k*ller whales

And I found this.

I'm, I'm...

Naked.

Marianne:
oh, look, I forgot

She had that little mark.

( Giggles )

Oh, my goodness.

Nigel:
oh, and there's
little debbie.

Ew, I'm wearing pink!

Turn it off.

Oh, no,
but we must see you

In your matching
cowgirl outfits

Singing-ing and dancing-ing.

There's no time.

You don't want to miss
your ceremony.

Yeah, oh, you can't let
down your fans.

Nigel, the highlight reel.

Not to worry,
I'll get it.

Here we are!

Bye, sweethearts.

Have fun now.

Bye-bye, poppets.

Have a great time.
Be good.

Enjoy yourself.

Bye, mom.
Bye, dad.

Bye, ben.

( Engine starting )

So, we bury
the home movies

Next to dad's bagpipes

And mom's
science fair trophies.

You read my mind.

Hey, this is
mom's highlight reel.

So, no polar bears
for the old folks.

I'm pretty much
over it already.

Here are the home movies.

Now where's the shovel?

Debbie, it's empty!

Dad took the home movies
by mistake.

They'll play them
when they get their award!

But I'm wearing pink!

I'm not wearing anything--
on tv!

( Both scream )

Mom!
Mom!

Dad!
Dad!

( Shouting )

Come back!

Please wait!

( Groans )

They're going
to see me naked!

( Whimpers ):
pink!

( Eliza grunting )

( Darwin chattering )

( Grunting )

That's a bus route.

We can pick it up
across the lake

Get to pedang
and switch the film

Before the show starts.

All in two hours?

We can make it.

( Panting )

What are we doing?

Oh, this is so dumb.

Who cares if a bunch
of people we don't know

See that movie?

I do! And besides,
I don't want ben--

I mean, I mean...

I don't want anyone seeing me
in the bathtub.

Oh, you don't want
your boyfriend

To see your baby pictures.

He's just a friend.

Who happens to be a boy.

We'd get there quicker
if you'd help.

We don't want
your little boyfriend

To see you naked on tv.

Stop calling him that!

( Splashes )

Well, that's mature.

( Screams )

( Screaming, yelping )

So, where's this bus stop?

( Yammering )

I guess... Here.

I don't think we'll be taking
a bus today.

We'll walk;
we still got an hour and a half.

See this dotted line?

It's a trail;
it leads to the main road.

Through the jungle?

No way.

Look, I'm going to go into
that bait shop and see

If some nice, old fisherman
will take me back to camp.

Whoa.

Hi... ( Giggles )
I'm debbie.

Um, I was wondering
if someone, like, maybe you

Uh, since you're
the only one here

Could take me back

Across the lake
in that cute little boat?

Deb-bie?

Yeah?

( Giggles )

You don't speak english.

Debbie.

( Laughs flirtatiously )

Who needs english anyway?

You take me in boat?

( Music playing )

( Gasps )
wow.

Mom looks good on tv!

Nigel thornberry.

( Laughs )

Yes, that's nigel thornberry.

And I'm debbie thornberry.

Debbie thornberry.

Nigel thornberry.

No way. Uh-uh!

The first cute boy I meet

In five months is not going to
see me in a princess outfit!

Stay right here.

I'll be back.

Hmm...

Come on!

( Gurgles )

( Donnie grumbling )

I can't believe
there's no path.

Come on, let's go.

We haven't got all day!

( Gurgling )

( Grunting... )

Come on.

( Chattering happily )

( Moaning )

This isn't much of a trail!

We kind of missed
the trail

When you barged into the jungle.

What's with you, anyway?

None of your business.

Okay, back
in the bait shop

I met the most adorable guy.

He didn't speak english,
but I know he liked me.

You know,
I just got that vibe.

Shh!
Hey.

I'm trying to bond
with you here.

Debbie, quiet.

Fine.

See if we ever talk
about boys again.

And by the way,
your little boyfriend--

He has a bad haircut.

He's not my boyfriend.

There's a tiger watching us.

( Muffled screams )

( Chattering happily )

( Stifled squealing )

Just stand still.

Darwin, there's a tiger
over there.

A tig--!

( Muffled ):
what are we going to do?

Hey, hey, up here.

Hey, I know you.

I saw you this morning
with a boy.

What were you playing?

Baseball. Shh.

So you want to play?

Not now.

Hey, hey, there's a tiger.

Ooh, I know,
let's play lose the tiger.

Do you want to play?

Huh, huh, huh?

( Screaming )

Okay, okay,
let's play lose the tiger.

Debbie, over here.

Debbie, climb up here.

( Growling )

( Panting, yelling )

Come on, this way!

Weasel:
great.

Oh, but I get to be
the leader.

Eliza:
whatever, let's go.

Thanks.

You saved our lives.

You want to play again?

No!
No!

( Screaming )

( Panting )

( Donnie laughing )

That's it.

No more boat rides.

No more bus stops.

No more jungle.

( Screams )
a rat!

Debbie, stop.

It's a weasel.

Oh... ( Screams )

A weasel!

Ew, ew, yucky, ew.

Weasel, smelly rat.

There's the road!

Oh, yes, we did it!

Come on.

( Both chattering )

I know where we are,
we just have to find north.

Hey, marco polo?

It's this way.

Hey, check this out.

See? The international nature
documentarian awards

At 6:00 tonight.
6:00?

I thought it was 7:00.

We can't walk three miles
by 6:00.

We'll never make it.

Eliza, chill out.

Chill out? Chill out?

How can you say that?

Ben's going to see
those home movies

I'm naked, there's got to be
a short cut.

I don't know, eliza.

Debbie, bait shop boy,
pink princess outfit.

You're right;
short cut.

See how the road
to pedang is all twisty?

But if you cut
through this big square

It looks like it's just
about a mile.

Let's go.

I wonder what the
big square is, anyway.

Probably
a golf course.

Debbie:
so, which way
to the first tee?

It's a palm plantation.

Whatever.

We've been walking forever

And I swear we've been
by that tree.

Debbie, that's crazy.

All these trees
look alike.

My button!

Oh, we were here before!

You see,
we are lost.

Oh, we're lost!

No, we're not.

We're just... Going
in circles.

Well, this place is
creepy.

What's the map say?

Where's the trail?

There isn't any trail!

We're in the big square.

I thought you understood
the concept.

You give me the map.

Oh!

Why'd you do that?

It's not like
we were using it.

( Rumbling )

What is that?

I don't know!

( Screaming )

( Screaming )

( Grunting )

Oh!

Oh, well, we were one row away
from the road all that time?

A real road?

( Kisses )

I never thought I'd be
so happy to see tar.

So, which way to pedang?

I don't know.

We don't have the map anymore,
remember?

( Yelps )

( Excited panting )

The sun's setting.

It's... This way.

( Weasel squeals,
donnie jabbers )

Look.

( Keyboard clicking )

Excuse me, is that pedang?

Yeah, it's about
ten minutes away.

Both:
no way!

( Laughing )

So, what's
the dish for?

Oh, there's a live, worldwide
broadcast tonight from pedang.

Really?

Like a big rock concert?

Even better-- the international
nature documentarian awards.

Did you say worldwide?

I thought it was
just local tv.

We're going live
to 120 countries

Simulcast on
armed forces radio.

( Speaking native language )

( Oinking )

Eh! Gross.

Ew, pigs.

Ew, yuck.

( Traffic humming nearby )

Okay, they're not going to
let us in without invitations

So we have to think of a way.

Watch me.

Debbie, wait!

( Debbie grunts )

Move-- debbie thornberry--
excuse me.

Get out of my way.

Excuse me,
sorry.

Oh, pardon my sister,
she can't help herself.

Excuse me.

( Squealing )

Good evening, thank you.

Please pass.

May I see your invitation?

Thank you, please pass.

Hi. Listen, we need
to get inside

To give marianne thornberry
some film, okay?

We're
their daughters

This is their
chimpanzee.

And this is...

An experiment.
Can you let us in?

You smell of pig.

We were helping our parents
film wild boars.

Are you a fan of nigel
thornberry's animal world?

I am their biggest fan

And the thornberry daughters
would be cultured

Refined, and, well... Clean.

Just let us in!

Hey, hey.

Security. Girls posing as
thornberrys at entrance.

Could be trouble.

What? Posing?

I know things about the
thornberrys that nobody knows.

Come on, debbie.

Marianne thornberry was

Was kicked off the field hockey
team in high school!

And nigel thornberry
loves cowboy music!

( Grunting )

And nigel thornberry
has five fake teeth!

( Girls grunting )

( Grunting )

Hey, debbie, look.

Over here.

Man:
where is the cake?

Woman:
quick, quick.

( Pans rattle )

Man:
is dinner almost ready?

Woman:
oh, hurry up.

Man:
much faster, much faster.

Woman:
no, no, no,
don't bring that out.

Bring that after.

Man:
they're losing respect for us.

Woman:
oh, we're going to get fired,
you know.

( Woman sighs )

( Gulps )

Mmm.

( Harpsichord music playing )

( People laughing and chatting )

Bitte, bitte, this is not
a night for franz fensterkopf.

This is a night
for my esteemed colleagues

Nigel and marianne thornberry.

And I am here to present them

With their second international
nature documentarian award.

I myself have won five.

In addition to the prestigious
silver beetle medallion

And the coveted...

Of course, yeah, yeah.

Without further ado,
the thornberrys.

( Applause )

( Whistling, applause )

Thank you, franz.

You're welcome.

( Silverware clinks )

( Exhales across microphone )

( Gurgling expressively )

As I gaze
at this magnificent award

I feel less than deserving.

What am I but a strong chin
and a set of khakis?

( Chuckles )

Keep talking, dad.

There's ben!

Good, get him to help us.

The real genius is my...

I can't tell him
about the film.

"I can't tell him
about the film."

I'm up to my knees
in knees here.

Brilliant, creative,
patently amusing... Oh, cake.

I've talked enough.

Oh! Oh!

I'm going out.

Stall him.

( Silverware clicking )

Eliza!

Shh!

Shh! You got to help me.

Oh, sure.

Hey, I wrote
you a letter.

Really?

Come on.

Now that we've all
got our cake...

( Dishes clattering )

Stop!

Look, dearest,
it's deborah.

Hello, pudding.

What brings you to pedang?

Debbie,
is everything
all right?

( Mutters sleepily )

( Feet pattering away )

Deborah... ( Nervous laugh )

We really can't keep
these good people waiting.

I know dad, but... ( Screams )

( Shrieks )

( Crowd exclaims )

( Whooping )

Playtime is an important
exercise in socialization

For these young cubs.

So this was all so I wouldn't
see your home movies?

Yeah.

Cool.

Let's get some cake.

( Applause, cheers,
whistles... )

Good job, deb.

Yeah, you too.

Both you guys.

( Applause continues )

I have smashing news.

It's even better than cake.

My daughters have brought
a surprise.

Lights, please.

I left the movies
in the booth!

Audience:
aw...

( Country music playing )

( Audience whoops )

Dad! Dad!

( Nigel gurgles expressively )
