[Padrig catches the kids having a pillow fight.]

Piggley

Oh... Uh, hi, dad. Um... I can explain. You see--

Explain to me how you think you can sit still on a boat, when you can't even stay in bed.

Piggley

But we were getting our--

BED.

Piggley

Yes, dad. [returns to bed with Ferny and Dannan]

And I don't want to have to come back here again. [leaves]

[angry] Janey Mack, Piggley, why did you start a pillow fight?!

Piggley

I didn't start it!

Did so!

Piggley

Did not!

Did so!

Piggley

Did not!

Did so!

Piggley

Did not!

Did so!

[covers the boys' mouths with her hands] STOOOOOOOP!!!

[Padrig hears the yelling.]

[angry] PIGGLEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!

Piggley

[turns off the lamp] We're asleep!

[Molly wakes up and finds Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan making jam sandwiches.]

What are you all doin'?

PFPiggley, Ferny, and Dannan

Shhh!

Piggley

We're makin' a picnic lunch for dad!

Why are you doin' that?

[Dannan, then Piggley, then Ferny take turns shushing Molly.]

Ugh... It's for the fishing trip tomorrow!

Oh...

I'll take Molly back to bed. You boys go ahead and make the sandwiches.

Will you make one for me too, Piggley? Pleeeaaase?

Piggley

Okay, okay. Just be quiet!

Sweets, too? Pleeeease!

Piggley

Ugh, fine...

[Dannan takes Molly back to bed.]

Piggley

[to Ferny] Jakers...

[Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan are outside catching grasshoppers as fishing bait for Padrig.]

[from inside] I wouldn't be hearin' children outside, would I?!

Piggley

[heads back in with Ferny and Dannan] We're all asleep, dad!

[The next morning...]

Piggley

Dad! Wait for us!

After playin' around all night, you think you deserve to go with me?

Piggley

But, dad! We weren't playin'!

I'm sorry.

Piggley

But the merman!

Maybe another time, Piggley.

[Just then, he notices the jar of grasshoppers that Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan caught last night.]

What's all this now?

[Padrig picks up the jar and examines it.]

So, is this what you rascals were up to last night? You know, you should all be out pickin' spuds today for keepin' everyone up all night. But I suppose your hearts were in the right place. So, are ya gonna stand there all mornin'... or are we going fishing?

[The kids cheer.]

[Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan try to get an apple for Mr. Hornsby by pulling a tree branch down to them with ropes. After struggling, the apple is now dangling within Dannan's reach.]

Oh. There it is! I'll get it!

Grandpa Piggley

[narrating] Dannan reached out to pluck the little beauty, and...

[As soon as Dannan plucks the apple off the tree, Piggley and Ferny are launched through the air, screaming as they fly out of the orchard, then out of Ireland, then into space.]

Grandpa Piggley

[narrating] We flew into the air, and shot right through the stratosphere. Clear out into space we flew! All the way to the surface of the moon! Where we were met by a couple of crazy-looking moon men!

SSSean, Seamus, and Meg

Grandpa!

Grandpa Piggley

Uh, what's the problem, children?

MMeg

[in disbelief] You flew all the way to space and landed on the moon.

Grandpa Piggley

Well... Maybe we didn't actually fly into space.

[After seeing Wiley run past with Molly's leprechaun doll on his back.]

Piggley

If he is a leprechaun, he's probably headed for his pot of gold! Come on!

[calling from inside] Piggley! It's time for supper!

Piggley

Aaaahhh, no! It's always suppertime at the wrong time!

[The children are singing as they pretend to be dragon-hunting knights.]

Piggley

We brave knights be huntin' for dragons.

With fiery breath and spiny backs.

We'll trounce them all and fix their wagons...

AAll

Or... they will have us all for snacks! [echoing]

[Leaving Dannan in charge of the egg.]

Uh, Piggley, do you think the baby dragon might really eat Dannan?

Piggley

No. They only eat princesses.

Oh. [Molly peeks over the gate] Piggley, where are we gonna find a princess?

I'm a princess. Someday, I'll be the queen.

[bluntly] You're a goner.

I wonder what else was in that sack he was draggin' in there.

I'll bet there were some brains in it.

Oh, you think so?

Piggley

Don't be daft. You don't put brains in a sack.

And why not?

Piggley

They'd leak all over the place. You put brains in jars. Besides, Fergal doesn't have any brains yet. That's why he's making friends with Molly. So he can take hers.

Janey Mack.

I can't believe he wants Molly's brain! I mean, why couldn't he just take the brain of one of his other mad scientist friends?!

Well, I don't think there are any other mad scientists around here to be friends with.

Piggley

Jakers! That's why he's making a monster!

What?

Piggley

Fergal O'Hopper is building a monster to be his friend!

A friend with the brain of your sister, Piggley!

Well, why wouldn't he just make friends with your sister?!

Piggley

A mad scientist doesn't stop to think of those things. That's why they're mad, Ferny! And I won't have it, I tell you! I'm going over there right now to save Molly!
