Higglytown Heroes quotes

She must be lost!

LOST?!

What’s wrong, Twinkle? [cuts to Twinkle]

Twinkle

My tooth! It’s- it’s loose!

Wayne

Oh No! Somebody do something!

It’s okay, Twinkle. All kids loose their baby teeth.

Twinkle

They do?

[goes over the phone and answers it] Hello?

I wonder who's calling.

Kip

With a phone call, it could be anybody.

Wayne

I hope it's not my mom calling because she found those brussel sprouts in the umbrella stand.

I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation, Bitty. I just don't know what it is.

[hangs up; to the kids] That was Grandma-ma. I have to take her to visit Aunt Susie this afternoon, so I won't be able to help make macaroni hats after all. I'm very sorry, kids. I know I said I would, but I really have to go with Grandma-ma.

Twinkle

And I thought we were going to have a lot of fun today.

Wayne

Yeah, fun.

Twinkle

That's prettier than a unicorn dressed up like a princess. Oh, I love a breezy breeze.

Whoa!

Wayne

Whoopsie.

Fran

Oh, no!

Whoa!

Wayne

Stop that barrel!

Fran

[sadly] My barrel's broken, and all my acorns all gone. Acorn day is runied. I need a time out.

Fran

It’s when all the ghosts and goblins and monsters come out for spooky fun. [cuts to the kids]

Wayne

There aren’t really any monsters, are there, Fran?

Fran

Oh, don’t worry, Wayne. There’s no such thing as… [cuts to Uncle Lemmo opening the door with a Jack-o’-lantern to scare the kids] MONSTERS!!!!!!!

Uncle Lemmo?! [move to Uncle Lemmo after he was revealed, cuts to the kids moving to t have a conversation with Uncle Lemmo]

Oh, kids! You nearly startled me right outta my pants.

We thought you were a pumpkin monster!

Nope, just being my Jack'o'lantern. Ugh, looks like I'm gonna have to carve a new one now. [scene wipes to Uncle Lemmo carving another Jack'o'Lantern]

Twinkle

Why do we make Jack o lanterns on Halloween, anyway?

Do you kids mean to tell me that you’ve never heard the story of the first Jack’o’Lantern?

Nuh-uh!

Kip

Tell us!

Twinkle

Please tell us, Uncle Lemmo!

It all started in Higglytown a long, long time ago.

[meows]

Every year in Higglytown had a big Halloween Party.

[as Plunkie departures him] Ugh!

[sniffs, then pinches her nose] Eew… [walks away from Jake the archer and Albert the vampire]

Now- back then, they were five friends. And just like everyone else in Higglytown, these friends couldn’t wait for Halloween!

Kip

I’m a robot!

Twinkle

A princess.

A walrus!

Fran

A bat!

Wayne

An Alien-Clown-Cowboy, imagine that!

Of course I can, I’m a scary monster, and scary monsters are very mean! [shakes Fran the bat]

Fran

Oh, well, I suppose you’re right about that!

[takes Fran the bat to his Pumpkin Castle] Bwaaaah!

I’m phoning a friend. [Bernice’s phone rings]

Hello.

Hi, Bernice. I was wondering if you could do us a really big favor.

Wayne

Agh! [hides inside Eubie, then they walk up to the pumpkin castle]

Fran

There's just one problem.

Twinkle

What is that?

Fran

The Pumpkin Monster is STANDING RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!!!!

AAAH!!!!!!!

So, you thought you could come and rescue Fran the bat? Hahaha.

Where did I put that key? [pulls out the umbrella] No that's not it. [throws the umbrella away. Next: the Pumpkin Monster pulls out a seat] Oh no. That's a chair. [throws a seat away. Next: the Pumpkin Monster pulls out a French Horn then he plays lively jazz music with the French Horn then throws the French Horn away.] Nope. [pulls out the key, which is correct] Aha!

We’e on our way, Fran!

Kip

I’ve got the key, Fran!

Friends sound terrific! Ah. If only I had some.

You silly monster! We’ll be your friend.

Hot Diggity!

Fripp

My hot dog cart is gone!

Kip

It was here just a minute ago.

Wayne

Where could it be?

[after Fripp sings his Hot Dog Cart Blues song; sniffs sadly] That's the saddest song I've ever heard.
