Lines by Narrator 4

Narrator

And right over there is a narrator muter! I wonder what that does?

[The inventor turns a dial and the narrator's voice fades]

Narrator

Wait! Hold on! No! Stop turning the dial, please! I can't...

Narrator

Guy wouldn't admit it, but he did need some hope. And a hope man is helpful, even if he's a dope.

Narrator

Oh, hi! Welcome back! It's been far too long. [voice breaking] I'm so glad to see you! I can burst into-- [sing-song] song! [coughs, then clears his throat] Yeah, maybe no song.

Narrator

E.B. can't know the answer, but guess what? I can. 'Cause when you're narrating, continents you can span! IT'S CALLED OMNISCIENCE, SON! KNOWING ALL OF THE STORY! What's up?

Scenes with Narrator 6

Ma'am, your son...

Your adorable son...

...is in serious trouble. If you want to help him, tell us where that ferry is going.

KKaren

Why would I help you? You're the BADGUYS.

Darn right, we are! BADGUY proud!

KKaren

Well, then, I'm not telling you anything. You're bad.

[confused] I'm sorry. One more time?

KKaren

[equally confused] You're... bad?

What? Are you kidding me? [laughs] This lady. No, no, no, no, no. [indicates around McWinkle's grey-speckled middle] We're good.

KKaren

But you're the BADGUYS.

And we are good.

KKaren

No! You and that scary fella are the BADGUYS.

And we're good! See? [presents the business card to Karen]

KKaren

This says "BADGUYS".

Exactly. [flips it over to show the writing on the back of the card] It stands for Bureau of Animal Defense Glurfsburg Upper Yipville Section.

Narrator

That's a surprise. You got it all wrong. Turns out the BADGUYS have been good all along. I wanted to share that with you for the longest time. You have no idea how hard it was for me not to spoil it! Oh!

KKaren

Okay, to be fair, your name is a little misleading.

Gluntz? I get that a lot. It's a family name, shortened from O'Gluntzenburg by my great-great... ...great-great-great-grandfather. No wait. Sorry, scratch that. It was my great-great... ...great-great-great-great...

GGuy

Stop talking.

But, Guy--

GGuy

No. Everything you ever told me is a lie. You're a wanted criminal!

It's nice to be wanted?

GGuy

[Grunts] But how could you sell Mr. Jenkins?

When I stole him, he wasn’t Mr. Jenkins yet. I made the deal with Snerz, before I get to know the big fella.

GGuy

[Horrified] Snerz is the collector? As in “SnerzCo”?

Yes. But, the plan now is to reunite Jenkins with his family on Chickeraffe Island! Promise.

GGuy

I want to believe you, but I can't.

You have to. I may not be able to find my mother, but Jenkins's mom is a balloon ride away! Please. You can trust me.

GGuy

... ... No! Just get out of here! And leave Mr. Jenkins with me.

I can't do that. They'll put him back in a zoo.

GGuy

You listen to me, Sam-

[cheerfully] Ah-ah-ah. That's your hupset voice. You get upset when you're hungry. Good thing I brought these. [brings out Green Eggs and Ham, making Guy even more angry] Ta-da! They're really good right... [puts plate on desk in front of Guy] there, I'll bet.

GGuy

... [fires burns in his eyes as he starts to lose it] I do not like them, Sam-I-Am!

But you could.

GGuy

[Slams his fist on the table] I could not, would not, on a boat! I will not, will not, with a goat! [Smashing Green Eggs and Ham] I will not eat them in the rain! I will not eat them on a train! [hurls the smashed green food at a wall] I do not like them here or there! I do not like them anywhere! I DO NOT LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM! I DO NOT LIKE THEM, SAM-I-AM!

[Sam and Mr Jenkins exchange glances]

So... that's a no?

[Guy groans in frustration]

Okay. I know you're not happy about the little setback in our relationship.

GGuy

We have no relationship! It's not us I'm worried about!

[Guy presents the piece of paper with Michellee's phone number on it]

I'll tell her you're innocent. She'll believe me.

GGuy

Oh, really, Mr. Furry Foot Bandit? Who's she supposed to believe? Hector Jive? Bamboozle McHoaxypants?

I only use Bamboozle McHoaxypants for hotels.

GGuy

Why do you have so many aliases?

Because nobody's... nobody's ever wanted me to stay the same person before.

[Guy glares suspiciously at Sam]

Nobody's ever stuck around long enough.

GGuy

... Well, there's a reason nobody's ever stuck around this long, Sam! Believe me, I know! Because I've tried! I've tried you as a friend, and you don't fit! You don't fit anybody! Not even your own mother.

[Sam gasps softly and Jenkins makes a sad noise]

Narrator

Oh, dear! Guy's just upset. I'm sure he didn't mean it.

GGuy

[suddenly calms down, realizing he shouldn't have said that; remorsefully] Sam, that last bit...

Narrator

But those words crushed poor Sam like a peanut.

GGuy

I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry.

No no no. You're right. Come along, Mr. Jenkins.

GGuy

No! Wait! Sam, you can't sell him! [But they are already gone; McWinkle and Gluntz return] The collector... is Snerz. [the two BAD GUYS are surprised]

Narrator

Heads up, plot twist. Let me jump in before I can, before that guy spoils it.

PTPhilip Trousers

Not today, Pam I-Am!

[Philip flies away as Pam I-Am watches from down below. Sam stares in shock]

Pam I-Am?

[Pam gasps and stares back at Sam. Memories of baby Sam flash by]

BSBaby Sam

[in flashback] Mama, mama. Will you make them for me?

[in flashback] Here, Sam. Try them.

BSBaby Sam

[in flashback] Mama, mama. Mama, mama. Mama, mama. Mama, mama.

Narrator

Dang! I was dying to drop that major truth-bomb. That lady's not just a spy, she's also Sam's...

Mom?

DDookess

Welcome to Zookia, a nation bustling with city life, an idyllic countryside, and just about everything in between.

Narrator

HEY! WHAT IS THIS?!! ANOTHER NARRATOR?!! THIS IS MY GIG, LADY!!! WHO IS THIS HATER?!!!!

DDookess

It's just for this film, buddy. You'll be back later.

Narrator

Oh, cool! I get it. Sorry! Kinda freaked out there.

GGuy

What are you doing here?

Stopping you and your weapon.

Narrator

She's not taking out Sam! Pam chose Mission Mom! Her real plan was to come here and dismantle Guy's bomb!

Uh, who is she?

GGuy

Where's Sam? You ditched him already?

Okay, Sam's mom. Got it.

Actually, he ditched me.

GGuy

The kid's smarter than I thought.

I’m stopping you.

GGuy

Well, you’re too late. Someone’s already stopping me.

Oh, yeah? Who?

GGuy

Me!

Walvark droppings.

GGuy

I mean it!

Get out of my way.

GGuy

No! Now get out of here before the Zooks find you and blow my whole plan.
