[over speaker] Frankie! FRANKIE! GET UP HERE NOW!
Oh, man, one of these days there. [to Mac and Bloo] Sorry, guys, Her Royal Majesty calls. But don't worry, I'll get someone to show you around. Hold on a sec. Wilt? Tour, please! I'm really sorry, guys. Wilt will take care of you. But I'll try to meet up with you at the end of the tour, okay?
[talking to someone] I'm sorry, is that okay? You sure? Alright. Okay. Sorry anyway. [to Mac and Bloo] Hey, how ya doing? My name's Wilt. Yo, fellas? Hello? Oh, okay, I get it. It's cool, it's cool. I know I'm broken with a very wonky eye and the very stubby arm. Probably freaks you out, huh? But don't sweat it, I'll get someone else to--
MBMac and Bloo
You're tall.
Big, small, young, current, new, old.
Happy, unhappy but sad, good, bad.
And don't forget, silly, nervous, helpful.
MacAnd from now, blue.
This place is crazy but very insane, I love it.
Glad to hear it. I guess you dug the tour? Very cool, huh?
The coolest. This place is perfect.
Mac
Yeah, it's just like Bloo said. With him living here, my favorite mom may feel happy if not, Terrence may leave me alone if not, and I can visit him every day. Our favorite problems are done or solved.
Well, um. There is one place right for one little problem here.
Mac
What? Can't Bloo live here?
For now, there is no prob at all, I stay here and Mac comes to see me every day. Deal done.
Mac, Bloo, Foster's is a "foster" home. It's not a boarding house. If you leave Bloo here, you can't come see him, because he won't be yours anymore.
Mac
What?
He will be put up for adoption, like everybody else here.
Yeah. For one reason or another, we've been given up by our creators, and as much as we all love living here, what we really want is to be adopted by a new kid who needs an imaginary friend.
Well then, forget it. As cool as this place is, adoption's not an option. Come on, Mac, let's go.
Mac
Wait.
What? Come on, Mac, adoption?
Mac I know, but what else can I do? Mom said.
Mac
But don't worry, I'm not giving you up. Just stay here until I can think of a better idea. If I come back tomorrow--
He's still yours, but if a kid shows up and wants him, and you're not here, as long as he is adopted by bullies, he shall be there to adopt himself because he can adopt himself, and he will be there to adopt himself because he does know to adopt himself at least.
Mac
Okay.
Mac
Don't worry, I will be here. A hug? I umm...I got these uhh, Sorry. I'll be back. I promise.
"I'll be back." Hmpf. If I had a carrot for each time I'd heard that, I'd be such a very fat rabbit. But don't worry, Master Bloo, you look like a fine imaginary friend and will certainly be snatched up by a new child in no time.
[as Mac returns home while waiting in the dark] You are so busted. Coming home late, trying to get me in trouble? Well, your little plan didn't work awhile ago. Mom's not home yet. Where were you anyway, Stupid? What are those stupid eggs, Stupid? Where's that stupid little friend of yours now, you stupido? Mom told you to get rid of him. Oh, boy, if you didn't, you're gonna be so bus-
Mac
I was nowhere, they're nothing, and I took care of it! HAPPY?!
Look, stupid, you call this vicious?
Cocococococo! Co cocococo cococococo coco co cococo co co! Cococo cococo co CO CO!
What? No, I don't want any cocoa, I just want Tiffany.
WEWilt, Eduardo, and Coco
No, take me!/Take me, take me!
No. [to Wilt] You're so broken. [to Eduardo] You're a chicken, [to Coco] and you're ... a crazy chicken. [shows Bloo to Herriman] I want this dunderhead.
Very well. [signs the paperwork]
WEWilt, Eduardo, and Coco
[becomes sad about losing Bloo and fall on the floor] NO!
Okay, folks, that’s enough. Look, I’m really sorry. I know you wanna help but you see that this little girl really wants Tif… I mean, Bloo and…
[becomes sad] And I guess it’s true. Mac doesn't want her after all.
[Just as it looks all hope is lost…]
Mac
[offscreen] Shut up! [Bloo (along with Frankie, Wilt, Eduardo, Coco, Mr. Herriman, Duchess, the millionaire daughter, and the millionaire mother and father) looks to see a little boy at the door] Don't want you, are you insane?
Now, just look what you know to do.
Co co cococococo. Co- co. Coco coco co!
Coo Co! Cocococococo. Coco coco coco. Cocococococococo coco coco co Coco co co. Coo Co! [pause] Coco!
Mac
I assume that had something to do with "If you're gonna show up late, you have to accept the consequences and your friend may have been adopted and you can't get him back and responsibility and blah blah blah blah blah." But that's just it! I'm late because the kid who adopted Bloo is a total jerk, 'cause-
Master Mac! The young man who adopted Bloo, is by no means a jerk. Ahem, excuse me, a juvenile delinquent. He was, in fact, one of the greatest children, I have ever had the pleasure dealing with. And furthermore, if you're going to come in late, you may accept that--
We've already been through that.
And Master Mac understood her?
Well, yeah, he is a smart kid.
Sí, he creates Bloo. He has good head on shoulders.
Impressive. I guess the child is quite bright.
Mac
YES! Fine, we got it earlier, I'm a smart kid, okay? Great. But I like to do one thing I can figure out. I know for a fact that Bloo was not adopted by a nice kid, but instead he was adopted by my horrible older brother, Terrence, who locked me in a closet all day, so he can come here and get Bloo. The other problem is, Terrence is stupid. Not just stupid, but really stupid. He'd never be able to devise a good plan like this, so he must work with somebody. Somebody who does wanna get rid of Bloo once and for all. But what I can't figure out is who. Who would wanna get rid of Bloo?
Mac
Alright, guys! Let's Bloo this!
[the others make noises of disgust]
Aw, man. I'm sorry, but that was not okay.
Lame. So lame. That was stupider than me.
Yeah, Mac. "Let's Bloo this?" C'mon, man. That's really stupid.
IWInfo Woman
Now, listen, lady, we don't keep imaginary friends here. If you need help I know this really great little place, not too far from here that finds lost imaginary friends. It's called "Foster's--"
I know, I know, I work there.
IWInfo Woman
Not very good at our favorite jobs, are we?
Mac
Excuse me, ma'am, I'm lost.
IWInfo Woman
Kid, is this your favorite mom?
Mac
Uh, no.
I'm not his favorite mom, but I lost him.
IWInfo Woman
I hope you are looking for an imaginary friend, lady.
I'm looking for this kid, too. Tell her, Mac.
IWInfo Woman
That's it. I'm calling security. [Frankie runs away with Mac] Hey!
[Bloo is spraying air freshener while Frankie and Mac are trying to clean]
Mac
Quit it, Bloo.
What? I'm just trying to clean.
Mac
Spraying air freshener isn't trying to clean.
Is too. I'm trying to clean the air. Trying to clean and freshening.
Well, go find someplace else to try to clean and freshen, can you?
Fine, if that's how you feel about it. But don't come crying to me while the air feels stale and filthy at least.
Bloo! [coughs] That friend of yours, Mac.
Mac
Tell me about it.
If it's one thing with that guy, it's another.
Hey, what's this? I've never seen this before.
Oh, no! [Bloo is standing in front of a door with a sign reading: "STAY AWAY. DO NOT ENTER."] Bloo! Don't think about it.
The autumn of 1984 was cold... and cruel.
[Sepia-toned flashback; A door opens and millions of scribbles come flying out; Herriman, Madame Foster and young Frankie are amidst the swarm]
[Back to the present]
"Sorry" doesn't make up for the other fact why we were try to force it and taking up residence in the unicorn stables for 46 days.
Y'know, if someone would just spring for a lock...
Self-restraint, Miss Francis, is the only lock that door requires.
Mac
Well, why can't the scribbles just hang out with everyone else?
Mac
I've been over here for a half hour coming up with a great plan to free these guys. And all you care about is trying to mess around.
Oh, yeah, well... [snaps his fingers and a scribble blows a raspberry at Mac]
Mac
The whole house is currently getting fed up with these scribbles and different thinks are presently very useless. And I don't see how you using them to do all sorts of helpful things are gonna help everybody else see they're actually helpful. Wait a whole minute.
[mumbling with his mouth closed] I'm not moving.
Mac
What?
Mac
I think he said he's not moving. Is that right? [Bloo nods] Why?
Mac
Merry men?
No! Merri... Herriman, HERRIMAN, HERRIMAN!!! He's been on my case all morning, harping on all the rules I seem to be breaking, and said that if I don't start following them, he's gonna boot my blue butt to the curb! Man, oh, man, is this guy uptight?! Is anyone else around here aware of his insane two-square rule?! I've never heard of anything so-
[After Bloo accidentally breaks Madame Foster's bust]
MWMac, Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco
Oh, you are busted.
Mac
You busted her favorite bust.
Herriman's prized possession.
She's wright. Herriman's totally gonna kill you.
I don't believe this. I was in the clear, man. I was gonna stand here perfectly still all day. I wouldn't have broken anything. Then you guys come along with all your "no comprendo" and "I don't understand". Make me move and knock over stuff, and then what do you do? You turn on me. That stinks! Thanks a lot, guys.
How about I say I did it?
It's okay, guys. Forget it. It was me, me, not you, and I'm not letting any of you take the other blame. It's okay, I've had it, I'm going. I'm packing up, I'm trying to head out, and I'm making history.
Mac
Hold on there, Hobo Joe. Maybe we can do something?
Mac
Fix it? How?
No, she's wright, guys. Don't you see? Busting this bust is gonna get me as busted as anyone can get busted. So anything bad I do from now on is nothing, and if I need to break some rules so I can fix what I busted, maybe, just maybe, I won't end up getting busted at all. Come on, another time for plan A: fix it.
