Patience (Part 2)/Transcript

[theme song]

[In the Ever Grey Swamp, Zull, Gort, and Krakia follow Eva to find Durillia’s cave.]

Zull: We’ve been walking for hours!

Gort: We’re lost, that’s why, lost!

Eva: Hm…

Durillia: [roars]

Zull and Gort: Aah!

Krakia: [squawks]

Eva: On the contrary, I think we’ve just found Durillia. [steps away] So, what are you waiting for?

Gort: It’s…just that…

Zull: You know what they say about…Durillia.

Krakia: Uh, she’s really dangerous!

Eva: If you don’t get a move on, I’ll show you how dangerous I can be! Is that clear?

Zull and Gort: Uh… mm-hmm…

Eva: Come on, let’s go!

[Zull and Gort grumble as they follow Eva. Durillia roars again, catching the attention of Eva as she reaches the mouth of the cave.]

Eva: Well, I think we’re finally here!

[Eva enters the cave.]

Zull: After you.

Gort: No, ladies first.

Krakia: Oh that’s okay, I’ll watch the rear!

Eva: Move!

[Zull, Gort, and Krakia are startled. Zull and Gort enter the cave as well, and eventually Krakia does the same.]

Krakia: Is there anybody there?

Zull: Wrong place, maybe.

Gort: This is creepy.

Eva: I’m sure the noise came from here.

Durillia: You guessed it.

[Zull, Gort, and Krakia are startled.]

Eva: Where are you? [growls]

Durillia: [emerges from the muddy water] Right here.

Eva: At last; we finally get to meet!

Durillia: Most who come here get no further, but you have shown courage. What you want, as if I already didn’t know?

Eva: You know?

Durillia: You want to send one of them to the Big City. To find your sister Ava before the girl and her puppy do.

Zull and Gort: [gasp]

Zull: That’s a cool trick.

Gort: She knows everything. Like Evershell.

Durillia: Do not mention that name here, treacherous turtle!

Eva: So if you know why I’m here, what’s your answer? Can you tell us how to get to the Big City?

Durillia: You don’t know?

Eva: If I knew I wouldn’t be here.

Durillia: But the rumors say you are the wiliest creature in Pocket Kingdom!

Eva: And rumor has it that you know all the secrets of the kingdom!

Durillia: And the rumors are true. I can show you how to get to the city.

Eva: I knew it! So, tell me, quickly!

Durillia: I said that I can, not that I would.

Eva: [gasps] Why the fuss? Tell us.

Durillia: But my secrets come at a price, Eva. A big price.

Eva: So, what is your price?

Durillia: I haven’t decided. I shall need time to think. [sinks into the muddy water]

Eva: Durillia! She’s gone!

Krakia: [squawks]

Gort: Well, that’s good.

Eva: Huh?

Zull: Now what are we gonna do?

Eva: The only thing we can do. We have to sit here and wait for her.

[Kate and Magic take a walk in the Big City Park as they look for Princess Ava.]

Kate: [points at a direction] Let’s try over there. Come on, we can’t stop. We have to find the princess.

[Kate and Magic run down a pathway. Magic barks at her as they both suddenly stop.]

Kate: Not now, Magic. Okay, the coast is clear.

[Peter sits at a bench along with another person, holding a cup.]

Peter: Well here’s to having a great week.

[Kate gasps as she notices her father across from the pond, and takes Magic behind a bush. She unhooks the collar from Magic.]

Magic: Katie, we can’t go on like this. We’ve been on the move for days now.

Kate: No, but we have to find Princess Ava.

Magic: I want to find her too but I’m worried you’re overdoing it, you know?

Kate: [brushes Magic] You’re sweet, but I’m fine. Don’t worry, let’s go!

[Kate places the collar back around Magic’s neck and continues walking, but gets dizzy and passes out. She wakes up to see her father and Magic.]

Peter: Kate, are you okay?

Kate: I’m…fine. [tries to stand up but falls over]

Peter: [feels Kate’s forehead] Wow, you’re feeling hot. I think you might have a fever.

Kate: I’m fine…well…maybe a little fever.

[Back at Kate’s house, Kate lies in bed in her room just as her father checks her temperature.]

Peter: Let’s check your temperature. [looks at the thermometer] Whoa, you’re burning up!

Kate: It’ll pass. In fact, I’m feeling better already.

Peter: [sighs] No, it’s rest for you. You’ve got to take it easy. You just haven’t been yourself lately.

Kate: Really?

Peter: You’re disappearing all the time.

Kate: Only to take Magic for a walk.

Peter: And yesterday I even saw you talking to Magic as if he were a real person.

Kate: Uh… [looks at Magic, then at peter] Well, we do have a sort of understanding.

Peter: Um, what you need is some good rest. I’m gonna call work and get some time off to take care of you.

Kate: Don’t do that. I’m fine. Magic will take care of me; don’t waste your days off.

Peter: Okay, sweetheart. We’ll have to see how you feel later. Just rest up.

[Peter leaves the room. Kate gets up and takes the Royal Collar.]

Kate: We can’t let dad take time off work. We have to look for Ava.

Magic: No, Katie.

Kate: No? What do you mean?

Magic: Your father is right. You can’t go on like this. You have to rest.

Kate: But what about Ava? We can’t rest until we find her.

Magic: She’ll have to wait. I mean, I want to find her too, Katie. But we won’t be able to…unless you rest and get well.

Kate: I feel fine. Really I do.

Magic: Look, you have a fever and if you don’t rest, the fever will get worse, and then we’ll never find Ava.

[That night, Magic watches Kate as she breaks out in sweat, trying to sleep.]

Kate: Oh… [puts the Royal Collar back around Magic]

Magic: She’s very restless. Poor Katie. [feels Kate’s forehead] She’s still hot. Poor thing. Katie, I wish I could make you feel better. [looks at Kate’s hand] ''Maybe if I could get the Friendship Heart. That always seems to help.'' [takes the collar off and puts it on Kate’s hand, then licks her hand]

[Kate smiles just as she enters a dream that she was in Pocketville.]

Danny: Look, Kate is back!

[Kate and Magic approach the Royal Guards at the entrance to the castle, just as several pets look at them.]

William: I knew she’d come!

Mela: Let’s go meet her!

Kate: ''Hi, everyone! What’s happening?''

Balloon: This is the happiest day in the history of Pocket Kingdom.

[Several pets talk at the same time, saying “Yes, great!”]

Kate: [chuckles]

William: We knew for sure you wouldn’t miss this day!

Kate: This can only mean one thing!

William: Princess Ava is back and she’s waiting to see you in the throne room!

Magic: This is great!

Balloon: She can’t wait to meet you.

Kate: ''Well, that is great! I can’t wait to meet her too!''

[Kate and Magic follow the Royal Guards inside the castle.]

Ava: ''They have told me so much about you, Kate. I’m happy to meet you.''

Kate: [slightly bows] ''This is an honor. We were so worried about you.''

Ava: ''And Magic! It is a pleasure to meet you again.''

Magic: I’m honored, Your Majesty.

Ava: ''I want to say thank you to you both for all your wonderful work, bringing pets and children together while I was away. Many children have now found their best friend. You did very well.''

Kate: We only did what was right.

Ava: ''Mm-hmm. You followed your heart.''

[Ava leaps off the throne, then climbed down the stairs to have Kate hold her paw.]

Kate: Can I ask you a question?

Ava: Of course you may, Kate.

Kate: How did you get back to Pocketville?

Ava: Thanks to you of course!

Kate: ''Me? What did I do?''

Ava: ''You looked for me for so long. You never ever gave up.''

Kate: But…I don’t remember finding you, Princess.

Ava: ''Perhaps that is because it has yet to happen. You need patience, my dear Kate. Remember that anything worth having is worth waiting for.''

[That morning, Peter checks up on Kate.]

Peter: Kate, honey? Are you awake?

[Kate wakes up.]

Peter: I heard you talking. I think you must’ve been dreaming.

Kate: Yes, I was dreaming I was back in…

Magic: [barks]

Kate: Ah, I was just dreaming. I feel so much better now.

Peter: Hmm… [feels Kate’s forehead] Well, your fever’s down.

Kate: I told you I feel better.

[Peter notices the Royal Collar.]

Peter: Huh? How come Magic’s collar is on the bed?

[Magic grabs the Royal Collar with his mouth.]

Kate: Ah, you know him. He’s always playing.

Peter: You’re a good puppy. Now look after my little girl.

Magic: [barks]

Peter: [kisses Kate] See you later.

[Peter leaves the room, and Kate gets up. She takes the collar and slips it on her wrist.]

Kate: I had an incredible dream, Magic.

Magic: Was I in it, too?

Kate: Of course you were. And so was Princess Ava.

Magic: You found her?

Kate: Well, yes. Uh, I mean, not just yet.

Magic: Uh, that sounds really confusing, Katie.

Kate: I know, I know. But I feel much better, really. Come on.

[Kate approaches her vanity.]

Magic: Don’t tell me you’re about to start running everywhere again.

Kate: [opens a drawer] Soon. But I shall be more patient this time, because anything worth having is worth waiting for. [gets a basket of dog wash supplies] And while I’m getting better I’ll look after you. Bath time!

Magic: Uh…

[Out in the Big City, Wallace and Ava are eating bowls of rice.]

Ava: Why are we wasting time?

Wallace: You’ve been unwell, remember? We need to take it steady.

Ava: I’m fine now. You promised to teach me how to manage in the Big City, and we’re doing nothing.

Wallace: I taught you how to cross the road, didn’t I? And about traffic lights.

Ava: Big deal! Red, amber, green, easy!

Wallace: And we talked about finding shelter, hiding places.

Ava: It’s just that I feel there is something you are not telling me. Like you’re trying to protect me.

Wallace: You’re still a little weak. Try and eat.

Ava: Weak, huh? Let’s see. [moves Wallace’s bowl close to her] If I’m so weak, then you should have no trouble taking back your bowl.

Wallace: Hey! Give that back.

Ava: [chuckles and moves the bowl around] So, what do you think now? [moves the bowl back]

[Later, Ava and Wallace walk down the streets in search of an abandoned factory.]

Ava: Are we there yet?

Wallace: We’re here.

[Both of them come inside.]

Wallace: This will be your gym.

Ava: Where are we?

Wallace: This used to be a factory. But you know the humans. They build, they use for a while, and then they abandon them and leave them for us.

[Both of them find a pile of tires.]

Wallace: Surviving in the city is all about speed, coordination, reflexes. Get to the top.

[Ava climbs to the top quickly.]

Ava: No problem!

Wallace: Good climb! But how about your reflexes? [grabs a tire]

[Ava struggles to leap from tire to tire and lands flat.]

Wallace: Are you okay?

Ava: Oh, nothing broken. But you’re right Wallace. I’m not quite ready yet.

Wallace: You just need a little more patience.

[Eva and her gang continue waiting in Durillia’s cave.]

Gort: How long must we wait?

Zull: You need to be somewhere?

Eva: Maybe Gort is right. We’ve waited for so long! But what choice do I have? [groans]

Durillia: What’s the hurry? [emerges from the water] Are you leaving? Huh?

Eva: Have you decided? What is it you want in return for your secrets?

Durillia: I will tell you how to reach the Big City, but I want the Never Alone!

Eva: Huh? The Never Alone? Really? That flower is so rare, no one has ever—

Durillia: Found it? Exactly. If you want to get to the Big City so badly, then you know what you have to do. Bring me the flower. That’s what I want.

Eva: [growls]
