03x06 - Mr. X/Sprig's Birthday

[bunniefuu]

[jackhammer rumbling]

[theme song playing]

[frogs croaking]

[frogs croaking]

Do you know why
they call me Mr. X, Jenny?

Right you are, Jenny.

Because I deal specifically
with extraterrestrials.

And rumor has it
that there are a few
in the area.

Hit it, Jenners.

Very good, Jenny.
Very nice.

This is why
you're the best.

Oh, Jenny, honey,
are you blushing?

But who is this,
I wonder?

Little Miss String Bean.

Uh huh. Sounds like
some real 's movie junk.

But one thing's for sure.

These aliens
are being sheltered.

And whoever is harboring
these little monsters
will be in big trouble

[knocking]

[tune playing]

One Popsicle, please?

Sorry, little man.
This was the last one.

[slurps] Mmm.

Uh, give me a sec.

[strains, groans]

[slurps]

Now, we've got
to get these aliens

before someone
gets abducted or worse.

[stomach growling]

Okay, we need
some real food.

Jenny, Jenny,
you've done it again.

Is it just me,
or is anyone feeling amped up
since we fought the robot?

Kick that robot.
What you mean?

Remember I was all, "Whapow"!
And you were like...
[mimics karate yell]

Sounds like you got a case
of post battle euphoria.

Nothing like a brush with death
to make you feel alive.

So, what's next?
I'm ready to fight.

Hopefully, nothing.

Unless Andrias sends
another robot,

we're safe for now.

So I'm taking the Plantars

to their first movie.

Well, if anything comes up,
we're ready.

I even broke out
an old pull up bar.
Look.

[grunting]

Ah, my back!
Honey, be careful.

Guys, please.
Leave the danger to us,
okay?

Mm hmm.
Now movie time.

[all whooping]

[all gasp]

[chattering]

[screaming]

Hello, sensory overload!

Whoa! What is this, a church?

Yeah, pretty much. [sighs]

What's the matter?
Just thinking
about my folks.

I don't like the idea
of putting those two
in harm's way.

I know we took down
that robot together,

but they're
still just parents,
you know?

They shop for groceries
and coach Little League T ball.

Well, luckily today
is a stress free day
with no danger or conflict.

Hello.
Welcome to Thai Go.

[in Thai]

[in Thai]

I was stationed in Phuket
for a bit.

We'll take one Pad see ew.

And while we're at it,

have you seen any odd creatures
walking around?

Probably disguised as... humans?

[laughs]
What strange shapes they are!
Haven't seen them. Who's asking?

Oh, just your friendly
neighborhood federal government.

Yes. Very nice.
Hooray government!

[in Thai]

Jeez, where's the fire? Hmm?

Gotta go!
Is your stun g*n charged, Jenny?
Tell me it's charged!

Uh...
We have to go now.
I'll explain on the way.

[tires screeching]

[ringing]

Come on, come on.

[vibrating]

[announcer] And now...
for what you've all
been waiting for.

Another trailer!

[whooping]

Twenty minutes of trailers?

And you keep
calling yourself civilized.

[roaring]

Anyone else feel like
this audio video experience

is a little overwhelming?

Entertainment that makes
your ears bleed?
I'm here for it, baby!

I have to admit,
it is pretty difficult
to hear anything.

[dinosaur roaring]

[vibrating]

[horns honking]

She's not answering.

[groans]
We're gonna lose him
in the traffic!

That's because you drive
like an old man!
Move over!

[yelling]

[electronic music playing]

[tires screeching]

Man, this city, I tell ya!

[yells]
Oh, no!

Well, it was
no Suspicion Island.

[loudly] What did you say?

I thought
the protagonist was pretty fun.

I liked that
she was very flawed
and had room to grow.

Oh, crud.

Back inside, g*ng.

[Sprig]
No, not another one!

[chuckles]

Guys, there's
a secret agent after us!

We have to find a way
out of this place
without him finding

Tell me,

are you folks from the area?

Or just visiting?

[all scream]

Oh, how I love a good chase.

I think we lost him.
Great. Don't stop.

Wait! Stop!

Huh?

I think
I just won something.

[vibrating]

They're watching the exit.
We need to find another way out.

We coming in to help.
No!

I don't want you
getting in trouble.
We can handle it.

Tell her we are adults,
and we know what we're doing.

Anne, your mother says
Hang on,
I'm putting you on speaker.

Okay, let's see.
How do we do this?

[in Thai]

What?
[Dad] Oops!

I think I accidentally

[in Thai]

Oh, hi, Grandma.
Yeah, I just had a sandwich.

Mom, Dad, just stay in the car.
We're safe.
We'll meet you outside.

Bye, Grandma. Love you.

[laser humming]

Ah, that tickles
my brain.

How do we get them out?
They're cornered.

I have an idea.
Not only how to get them out,

but to deal with
these agents, too.

Quick! To the pet store!

[yells] Honey, take it easy!

Okay, okay.
Get it together, Anne.
Think.

What we're going to
need to do first is Hmm?

Hide!

Well, this is getting fun.

Oh, good. It's a dead end.

Ah! Classic.
Everyone, hide.

Now, what could this be?

What the
Now, guys!

Oh, no, you don't!
[yells]

[grunts]

Ow!

[grunts]

[gasps] What even are you?

And why are yo so slimy? Ugh!

Rude!

Blegh!

Ya! Ha ha!

Jenny, you're not
gonna believe this.

They're big, beautiful
talking frog monsters!

Call in the troops.

[Anne groans]
Why are these doors
so high up?

[Polly yells]
Your big toe is in my eyeball!

[Hop Pop] Watch it! My hand!

[Polly] Get off of my...
[Hop Pop] Stay quiet.

[phone vibrates]

[sighs]

Okay. So your mother and I
have a plan to get you out.

It's really good too!
Guys, no!

Seriously, we got this.
It's four on one.

When he comes in,
we'll rush him and run.
See you soon.

Man, this city, I tell ya.

No, no, no, no, no.
Anne. Anne!

[police sirens wailing]

They're in the bathroom.
You ready, honey?

Born ready.

They're in there.
Come on, everyone.

Show time!

Let's grab ourselves
some frog aliens.

Okay, guys.
On three, go for the eyes.

One, two...

[SWAT guy] What's going on?
[SWAT guy ] The power's off!

[SWAT guy ] On your toes!
[SWAT guy ]
They're getting away!

[SWAT guy]
Watch where you're stepping!

[both croaking]

[frogs continue croaking]

[laughs]
Nice frog alien, sir.

I've heard of
little green men,
but this is ridiculous.

Looks like our little friends

are smarter than I thought.

We're gonna have fun
with this one, Jenny.

And we'll have the last laugh!

I don't believe it.
Dad, Mom, how did you...

Well, parents have
a special set of skills.

First, your mother
bought us some time...

[meows]

Wow.

While your father
got the frogs at a pet store
down the street.

The owner was
your T ball coach, Mr. Tran.
Remember him? Nice guy.

[Mom]
And remember that one time

we tried to fix
the electricity?

[Anne] Yeah.
Wasn't that a disaster?

[Dad] Yep. So we knew exactly
what not to do.

[sirens wailing]

Whoa.
Amazing.

What is T ball, anyway?

You guys seriously did all that?

I can't believe it.
I guess I... I...

[distorted voice]
...misjudged you.

That's okay, sweetie.
We forgive you.

Wait.
But how did you know which
bathroom we were hiding in?

Uh...
Parental intuition?

And maybe the tracking device
we put on Hop Pop
when he was sleeping.

I was wondering
what that was.

What?

Hi yah!
[yelling]

[frogs croaking]

Hmm.

I give Dante's Inferno
a B plus for story

and an F minus
for helping us get home.
How's it goin' on your end...

Sprig?
Pretty good.

I think
I'm really gettin' somewhere.

It's a giraffe.

Okay. I can see
we need a break.
Finger football?

You know it.

[whistle blows]

Score!

[Sprig laughing]

Hey. What's gotten
into you two?

Oh, nothing.

We're just looking
for a place to put
this mud crown!

What is that?
What's going on?

Well, in Amphibia,
it's customary to put
a mud crown on somebody's head

when it's their birthday!
What?

♪ Froggy little birthday here ♪

♪ It's crystal clear
You were born
This hoppy time of year ♪

Aw, thanks, guys.
You shouldn't have.

Sprig, I had no idea
it was your birthday!

Eh, don't worry about it.
I don't think
I ever mentioned it.

But I'm your friend!
I'm supposed to know
these things!

Well, we're not doing
any more research today.

We're doing whatever
folksy frog traditions you do.
Whaddya got?

Well, the mud crown represents

every frog's humble beginning
as an egg in
the muddy waters of the swamp.

And all that's left
is for the birthday frog

to wear his crown and...

reflect.
Reflect?

On his life until this point.
Shh! It's starting!

Okay. All done.
Welp, that's that.

Hoppy birthday, kiddo.
Pretty quick this year.

[Polly] I wonder which of
our eight streaming services
we should watch.

[Sprig] Wait for me, guys!
Wait. Hold on.

That's all you frogs do
for your honkin' birthdays?

Yes. This is starting to feel
a little culturally insensitive.

Unacceptable.
Birthdays should be fun
and memorable!

Especially when
you're turning...
uh... um... uh...

Eleven.
Eleven!

And I knew that
because I'm your friend.

And this friend's about
to give you the best birthday

[voice distorted]
you've ever had in your life!
Capisce?

Well, I'm intrigued!

A little scared, but intrigued.
Let's do it.

Now, now, my little impatiens.
Don't be impatient.

[Anne] Sorry, Dad!
Love you, Dad!

I can't believe Hop Hop
and Polly didn't want
to share this basket with me.

I feel perfectly sa

Whoa... whoa... whoa...

Listen up.
Earth birthdays
are about fun, presents, cake.

It's basically a day that
means you tell people what to do
and get what you want.

Wow. In Amphibia, it's all about
respecting those around you

and being grateful for
the time you have left alive.

Man, talk about brainwashing.

Are you talking
about me or you?

Earth birthday montage engage!

[laughing] Whoa! [grunts]

What the heck?

[screaming]

[laughing]

[Mariachi music playing]

♪ Feliz cumpleaños, Sprig ♪

♪ Feliz cumpleaños, Sprig ♪

[burps]

[playing heavy metal music]

[both] Eh.

Whew! Man, that place
had everything big telescopes,

crazy contraptions.
And I met a new friend.

That wasn't a friend.
That was Security, yelling
at you to get off the telescope.

[scoffs] Anne,
on your Earth birthday,
everyone is your friend.

Now you're gettin' it.

Happy birthday, kid!
Cute balloons!

Happy b day, dude!

It's actually
my birthday too.

[sighs] Wow. That was fun.

Thanks for
an incredible birthday, Anne.

You know, at first,
I couldn't understand why
you'd make birthdays so special.

And now I get it!
Today was amazing.

So, was it the best birthday
you've ever had?

Oh! Definitely top three.

[screeches]

[chokes]
What?

That's it?
I pull out all the stops,

and I'm still third place
to a couple of mud crowns?

Well...
This will not stand!

It is my duty as your friend
to keep this party going until
it's in the number one spot!

But haven't we done everything
by this point?

Not everything.

Thanks, Dad.
Be back soon.

No worries.
I'll just be over here,

reading
great American literature.

[chuckling]
Simply brilliant.

Whoa!
We get to ride in one of these?

Welcome, my friend,
to Paradiso.

I'm gonna get
a bird's eye view
of another world

in a flying machine
that's powered by fire?

Whoo hoo!

Yes!
[Sprig yelling]

Sprig, what is it?
What's wrong?

What the frog?

Ah! Don't be startled, child.
This balloon only looks scary

because it was re purposed
from a horror movie
promotional piece.

What? How could you think
that was a good idea?

Well, we weren't about to waste
a perfectly good clown balloon.

Anyways, the name's
Blair, the balloonist.

I take it you're...
[horn honks] ...here
for the birthday package?

Yep.
I'm eleven now.

Well, hop aboard, explorers!

Couple of quick safety rules
before we [phone beeps]

Oopsie! High wind alert.

Sorry, guys,
but it's too risky
to fly just now.

But it's his birthday!
[whines]

You make a strong argument,
but no can do.

[both sigh]
Can we at least
sit in the basket

and imagine we're flying?

Yeah. Heck, you don't even
need me for that.

Just give me a holler
when you've had enough.
[shoes squeaking]

Wow! We get to use
our imaginations? Neat!

Forget that!

Bam!

Whoo!
Go, go, go, go, go!

Whoa! [laughing]

[both yelling]

Whoa! Isn't this risky?

Relax. We're still
tethered to the ground.

What's the worst
that could happen?

Come on. Let's seal the deal
and make this the best birthday
ever!

Yeah!

Huh?
[both gasp]

[both] Whoa...

Wowza.
Unforgettable.

[both yell]

N N No!

[both] Oh, my frog!

[shoes squeak]
Hmm?

[both] Whoa!

[Sprig] We're gonna die!

Oh, I am definitely
getting fired for this.

Honk honk!

[both yelling]

We're gonna hit something!
Ow!

Not if I can help it.
I'll control the altitude,
you use your tongue to steer us.

Got it!
[both] Huh?

[both scream]

[yelling]

[both] Yes, yes!
We're amazing!

[horns honking]

[screaming]
Down, down.
Gotta go down!

Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa!

What?

Wow! You're gettin'
pretty good at that.

Thanks.
Huh?

[squawking]

Whoa!
Don't open your mouth!

Well, Doc,
I think you've done it.

I think you've cured me
of my fear of
direct eye contact!

[screaming]

Hon, look behind you.

No, Tyler,
I will not clown face you.

[sighs]
I just don't know
what to do.

Should I quit my office job
to pursue my passion
of stand up comedy?

Lord, send me a sign!

Hey! Have you guys heard the one
about the lady who probably
just made a really bad decision?

That was... a lot of geese.
[choking]

[screams] Sprig, look!

[screaming]

We can't move in time.
We have to jump!

[both screaming]

I didn't even get to
give you your present!

You got me a present?
Yeah, dude. It's your birthday.

Fifty hot dogs, please.

Havin' a big party, eh?
No. Why do you ask?

Hey, that actually worked.

[groans]

Blegh! Whoa!

Now that was a horror show.
Woof!

[sighs] Well,
I ruined your birthday.

After all this time,
I thought I'd be
a better friend than this.

What? How so?

Um, hello! I didn't even know
it was your birthday today.

I thought
I could make it up to you
with the craziest day ever.

But it looks like
I'm just a failure
through and through.

Friend punch!

Oh, wow. It's been a while
since that happened.

Anne, you're my best friend
because I love being with you.

Not because you know
what day I was born.

And this birthday
isn't top three because
of the crazy stuff we did.

It's top three because
we got to spend it together.

[whines] Really?

It's, like, the sweetest thing
anyone's ever said.

Thanks, man.

Okay. I've gotta know.

What are your two top birthdays?

Well, birthday number one

was the day
I was actually born
and given life.

Oh. Well, that makes
a lot of sense.

What about number two?

That was when my mom and dad
gave me this hat.

My memory of it
is a little fuzzy.

But it's an iconic hat,
right?

Yeah. It is iconic.

Oh, yeah.
And here's the present
I got you.

Yay!

Whoa. It's a telescope

with my name engraved on it.

Thanks, Anne.

You're welcome, dude.
Okay. Let's go home

because I don't wanna
look at that clown anymore.

I see it whenever
I close my eyes.

Well, dude, another day,
another adventure resolved
with no loose ends.

[honks horn]
Anne, come on!

When is this balloon ride
supposed to be over?
[smacks head]

[theme music playing]

[Anne laughs]

[scatting]

Whoo hoo! Baby!

[scatting]

Oh! Ah! Baby!

[scatting]
