Disney Twisted Wonderland: The Animation (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

1
[birds cawing]
[Yuken breathing heavily]
[mysterious music playing]
[water dripping]
[Yuken] What the heck is going on here?
Pardon me. What are you doing?
We planted the white roses by mistake.
And the Queen likes her roses red.
If they're white,
we're sure to lose our heads!
[Yuken] Where is this supposed to be?
-[knocking on door]
-[gasps]
[Grim groans]
-[exhales deeply]
-[knocking continues]
[Yuken] Okay. So, just a weird dream then.
[Grim] It's the middle of the night.
Who is that? The ghosts messing around?
Uh, hello? Who is it?
It's me. Ace. Let me in already.
Oh, sure. What are you doing here so late?
No way! Shut up! You got collared?
As of this moment, I am never,
ever going back to Heartslabyul!
So starting today,
I'm going to live in this dorm!
[both gasp]
What?
[theme song playing]
[song ends]
A DESPERATE HEAR
Okay. Do you wanna talk about it?
I ate a piece of tart.
-What? That's it?
-[grunts]
[whimsical music playing]
[yawns] I need a nap. I'm exhausted.
We got anything worth snacking on?
Huh, what's in the fridge?
Oh! Yes!
These look amazing!
[laughing]
I mean, there are so many.
I can help myself to a slice.
[chuckles] Who's gonna care?
Down the hatch, baby! [chomps]
Mmm. Mmm.
Holy crap! This is amazing!
[Riddle] Of course it is.
Trey is quite the accomplished chef.
His tarts are always exceptional.
Seriously, this is, like, wicked good.
Way better than the ones they…
-[whimpers]
-[grunts]
Housewarden?
[Riddle] Brave of you indeed
to touch something of mine uninvited.
[Ace whimpering]
[Riddle] Queen of Hearts rule number 89:
"Never eat a tart
without the Queen's express permission."
Theft of a tart is an unforgivable crime!
[stammers]
[Riddle] For which you must be punished.
Off With Your Head!
-[metal clinks]
-[Ace screams]
Now I can't use magic
'cause of this stupid collar.
I know. It's annoying, isn't it?
[grunts] Housewarden my foot.
I think he just enjoys being mean.
How does he even remember all those rules?
Almost makes me sick
just thinking about it.
[both] Hmm.
But you did eat the tart
without asking, right?
Kind of a justified punishment.
[Ace exclaims]
Yeah, 'cause if there were three tarts,
they were probably saving them
for something.
Like a birthday shindig, you know.
Shindig? What?
Then it would make perfect sense
why he would be upset.
You should go find him tomorrow
and apologize.
Huh? Come on, bro.
You're making it sound like
I'm the one who messed up.
You are the one who messed up.
So go apologize.
[stammers] Yeah, but…
[grunts]
[groans] Okay, dude,
just stop looking at me like that.
But this is your stupid idea,
so you're coming with me.
Okay, if it'll make you feel better.
Oh, cool. So, uh, where should I crash?
Oh, for the love of…
I didn't think you were serious.
[Yuken] You can sleep here in the lounge.
[Ace] Here? [chuckles] No way, man.
It's like 70% dust.
[Grim] Yeah, well, you're 100% annoying.
[ghosts cackling]
Oh, welcome.
I love new friends, don't you?
Maybe one day you'll get to be
the next ghost in our crew!
[ghosts] We're going to have
so much fun together!
[yells] Shut up! I'm trying to sleep!
[ghosts laughing]
Yeah, yeah. I'm coming,
stop knocking already!
Yeah, yeah, I hear ya! I'm coming! Relax…
You're gonna break down the do…
[exclaims]
[sighs]
Now, how did I know
I was gonna find you here?
-Deuce.
-Heard what happened.
-Huh?
-You're a real idiot, aren't you?
Shut your face!
I don't need to take that from you!
[stammers] So, like,
is Housewarden still upset?
Um. Not really.
-[Riddle yells]
-[student screams]
[Deuce] He Off With Your Head-ed,
like, three other guys
'cause they didn't wake up on time,
so maybe he's a little annoyed,
but other than that, he seems fine.
[Ace] What do you mean fine?
He sounds super pissed!
Well, you're not gonna get much
out of class today with your magic sealed.
Maybe he'll take that off
if you ask nicely.
Are you insane? I'm not gonna try
to approach him now! No way.
I think I'd better wait around
till he cools off a little.
Trying to avoid him
is only gonna make it worse.
-[Ace] Come on, man! Don't…
-Nope, we're going right now.
Hey! You're gonna dislocate my shoulder.
Hey! No, no, no, no!
Hey, Deuce. Where's your dorm?
What's it like?
-Wanna come and see it?
-[Ace] Ow!
[birdsong]
[exclaims]
This place is amazing! [giggles]
Are these all magic mirrors?
Well, sort of.
These are transportation gates.
You're in the only dorm
that's actually on campus.
The others are super far away,
so we have to use a portal.
They're all themed.
As I'm sure you can tell this one's ours.
-[mysterious music playing]
-[chimes]
[Deuce] Good to go?
[stammers] Yeah. I guess.
What's wrong?
It's my first time, I've never done this.
You get used to it pretty quick.
Let's go.
[Ace grunts]
[yelps]
[water dripping]
[chiming]
[grunts]
[Yuken sighs]
[gasps]
Me-wow!
Their dorm is like an actual palace!
[Yuken] So this… is Heartslabyul?
And it's amazing.
I don't know what I expected, but dang!
-Huh?
-[humming]
What's that guy doing to the flowers?
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Gotta hurry and paint these roses red!
Oops, almost missed one.
Paint them all, or lose your head.
[Yuken] Why do I feel like…
[whimsical music playing]
[Yuken] I've seen this before.
Oh, him?
One of the upperclassmen from yesterday.
Hey, you. You in the bushes,
what are you doin' over there?
[Cater] Huh?
Who, me? What's it look like?
I'm painting the white roses red,
obviously.
And whatever would you be doing that for?
Hmm. That clueless little look
is totally 'camable.
Oh! Hey,
you're the troublemaking first-years!
Yeah, and you're the one that stole
the housewarden's tart,
ain't ya, collar-boy?
H-Hey. How'd you know that?
It's literally the only thing
anyone is talking about this morning.
Lucky me, running into
our infamous newcomer twice in two days.
Hey! Come here!
You wanna take a selfie with me?
-You know, I'm not really feelin' it…
-[Cater] Come on. It'll be cute.
-[both groan]
-[laughing]
Yes!
-[camera clicks]
-[groans]
I am for sure posting this on Magicam.
You gotta tell me your names though
so I can tag you guys!
-Uh, he's Ace Trappola.
-He's Deuce Spade.
Plus the illustrious Grim and my minion!
Did you say you were posting this
to "Magicam"?
Yeah, it's like an app where users can
upload and share photos with each other.
Oh, of course. We have something similar
to that in my world too.
[Cater] Okay. All posted.
You may now share it.
And if you haven't picked up on it by now,
I'm a third-year senior.
The name's Diamond. Cater Diamond.
But my friends call me Cay-Cay.
Oh, uh, it's nice to meet you.
I'm Yuken Enma.
Everyone calls me Yu.
[gasps] Yuken!
You must be the fabled prefect of
Ramshackle House I've heard so much about!
I am.
I can't believe you live in that dump!
All dark and dingy, nothing Magicamable
about that place at all.
I legit feel sorry for you.
The more he runs his mouth,
the less I like him.
[gasps] This is no time
to stand around chitchatting!
You wouldn't mind helping a card out
to get the rest of these roses painted,
would ya?
I've got so much other stuff I have
to take care of before this afternoon.
[Ace] Why do you have to paint them
in the first place? They look fine.
Hmm.
Because red roses are more aesthetically
pleasing for the backdrop of our party?
Party? I knew it.
My instincts are always 100% correct.
Now, why does it not surprise me to learn
that he stole someone's birthday gift?
-[stammers]
-[Cater] Oh. No, he didn't.
[all] Huh?
[Cater] As luck would have it,
tomorrow happens to be one of our House's
traditional unbirthday parties!
It's a tea party we hold on a day
where no one has a birthday!
Huh? That's made-up. [exclaims]
[Cater] Anyways, all I need you guys to do
is finish redding up these roses, okay?
Come on!
It's off with our heads otherwise.
I trust that you two can get it done
with magic.
But you two are functionally useless,
so you kids get to finger paint.
Okay! Let's get to work and get this done.
All right. Third time's the charm…
[grunting]
-[zaps]
-[horn honks]
-[exclaims] Not again!
-[laughs]
[Grim screams] Oh, dear!
-Oh, no. Oh, crap! It's on fire!
-Whoa! Someone got a little carried away.
-[Grim whimpers]
-Here!
[magic chimes]
-Wow.
-There, all better.
Now let's take a breath and try again.
-[Grim sighs] Okay. Relax. No fire.
-[Deuce] Shake it off. Shake it off.
-[yawns]
-[Deuce] Oh, dang it!
How come we're not allowed to
just leave these ones white? They're fine.
It's a holdover
from the original traditions.
Pure red roses are considered
mandatory for an unbirthday.
We play croquet in the garden
using all different colors
of flamingos as our mallets,
and hedgehogs for balls.
Oh! But the red roses should be white
for when the flowers
put on their spring concert.
It's just one of those things
you gotta memorize.
[Grim] All your rules are super weird.
You know that, right?
[Cater] Well… They were established
long ago by our Great Seven namesake,
the Queen of Hearts.
And of all the housewardens
in the history of Heartslabyul,
Riddle is the most fanatical
about keeping the old ways alive.
Though it's hard to deny
that he can go a little overboard.
Oh, yeah. I don't have time to be
standing around here doing this.
Hey, Cater, I need to talk
with the housewarden. So, is he here?
Oh… Yeah, I don't think he'll have left
for class yet.
But, riddle me this…
Did you bring a replacement
to make it all better?
Ace, you infamous tart thief.
Huh? No. I came straight here
as soon as I woke up today.
[Cater winces] Ooh, but if I let you in,
then you'd be breaking rule number 53,
which clearly states that "any stolen item
must be replaced."
So no tart, no entry. Sorry, fam.
[exclaims] You're joking, right?
[Cater] Oh, no! All Heartslabyul residents
are bound by the rules.
Uh… Cater…
Come on. I stayed to help you
with the flowers, didn't I?
You can't cut me a break?
I'd love to help,
but then it would be off with my head too.
-You have my sympathy.
-[gasps]
Unfortunately, we can't
let Riddle find you here,
so I'll have to ask you to leave.
I am he, and they are me.
Split Card.
[Yuken] He multiplied himself!
Now, Cater copies, do see them out.
[copies] Aye, aye, sir.
[clamoring]
[grunts]
Now run along. And try again
once you have a tart, okay?
'Kay, bye.
[gasps]
This sucks!
"Can't get in without a tart."
He watched us walk up empty-handed!
Could have said something to us then,
but no!
Has us do all his dirty work and then
kicks us to the curb. Unbelievable!
[Grim] He's so sly.
We probably need to head to class anyway.
Oh, right. Yu, Grim,
you guys are first-years too, aren't you?
What class are you in?
Yeah, the headmage said
we're supposed to be in class 1-A.
No kidding! How lucky.
That's our class too.
First period is Potionology.
[Grim exclaims]
Now that sounds like it'll be a blast.
[Ace groans] I still can't use magic.
Am I gonna be able to do anything?
1ST PERIOD
[students whispering]
My, aren't you all looking bright-eyed
and bushy-tailed
for so early in the morning.
We shall begin with rote memorization.
Over the next few weeks,
I shall whip the names and attributes
of over a hundred herbs and poisons
into your tiny, supple brains.
[students chattering]
[Crewel] Down!
You will touch nothing
prior to instruction.
-Listen carefully, pups.
-[metal clinks]
As long as you are enrolled in my class,
failing grades are not an option.
For the punishment is one
I would rather not inflict.
Touchy. Well, there go my hopes
and dreams of an easy homeroom.
He seems okay.
Maybe he's just passionate about teaching?
I'm not itchin' to get
on his bad side either way.
2ND PERIOD
[teacher 1] You all have the syllabus?
Your grades will reflect
not only your reports,
but the way you conduct yourselves
in this classroom.
[snoring]
[exclaims]
Hey, what's your deal?
Cat naps will not be tolerated
in my class.
-You may consider yourselves forewarned.
-[hissing]
[teacher 2 grunts]
3RD PERIOD
All right, sprouts! Listen close!
Great sorcery begins with great stamina
and a strong physique!
You see this right here?
This is what a little strength training
-and a few dozen eggs will do for you!
-[all gasping]
-Would you look at the beef on this guy!
-[Vargas grunting] Yeah!
[Vargas] We'll start with 20 laps.
Now give me 100 push-ups.
I want 100 squats.
[students panting, groaning]
It's torture.
Surely you lads aren't worn out already!
Another set!
[students] What?
[Grim giggles]
Oh, yeah! [giggles]
Ah! Everything in here looks so yummy!
I'm starving
after doin' all that brainwork.
And what better remedy is there
than a hunk of grilled chicken?
But I also want an omelet.
And get me some of those
jelly-bun-lookin' things.
Seriously, go crazy.
I want like, 12 of 'em.
Okay. Is there an empty table or…
[Cater] Hey! Over here! We've got seats.
-Oh!
-[groans]
-[chuckles]
-[Grim] That guy again.
Cater! Yeah, hey! Um, it's all good.
We'll look for another table
somewhere else.
Oh. Boo! It's okay, you don't have
to be afraid of big bad me!
Because Cay-Cay feels like being nice
to his underclassmen for a while.
It's all good, right, Deucey?
Oh. Thank you. Nobody calls me that.
I'm getting whiplash from this guy.
Is four-eyes over here
Cater's little lackey?
Hmm? Me? I'm Trey Clover.
But, like Cater,
I'm a Heartslabyul third-year.
Sorry to hear my housemate's
been making trouble for you.
Has your dorm been treating you all right?
Ramshackle… Mmm…
Well, it's a very old building is all.
I just hope you're comfortable enough.
And don't hesitate to ask
if you need help with anything.
Your big bros will teach you
everything we know.
Thank you. I'll definitely have to
take you up on that.
[Grim] Hey, so you know how
your guys' dorm looks like a castle?
What are the other ones like?
Are they just as cool?
I think that might depend
on your individual style, but I think so!
Each House exemplifies certain attributes,
so students of similar character
and taste tend to be grouped together.
You've seen those statues
of the Great Seven on Main Street?
The seven Houses here
are directly inspired by them.
Yeah, like, take Heartslabyul,
for example.
We were founded on the Queen of Hearts'
commitment to strict discipline.
Then you've got those monsters
in Savanaclaw.
[Trey] They represent the
indomitable spirit of the King of Beasts.
[Cater] They have a lot of students who
are great at athletics and martial arts,
so they basically rule the school
every time we have to compete
in any inter-House sporting events.
[Trey] Then you have Octavinelle House,
modeled after the Sea Witch's
benevolent heart.
[Cater] They got all the brainiacs.
Super high achievers
who ace all our written tests.
Real organized, kinda businessy.
They actually have a student-run café
in their House!
[Trey] Scarabia House is modeled after
the mindfulness
of the Sorcerer of the Sands.
[Cater] Most of their students are really
skilled in the fortune-telling arts,
like astrology and numerology.
You know, smarties. They rank up there
with Octavinelle in terms of test scores.
[Trey] The oldest dorm, Pomefiore,
was founded
on the tenacity of the Fairest Queen.
[Cater] Those students usually excel
in stuff like Potionology and curses.
And, like the Queen herself,
they're pretty serious about appearances,
both in terms of fashion and etiquette.
[Trey] Then there's Ignihyde,
founded on the King of the Underworld's
spirit of diligence.
[Cater] That's where all the magic-energy
engineering and tech students wind up,
but they're pretty antisocial in general.
Lot of shut-in NEET types.
[Trey] And finally,
there's Diasomnia House,
modeled after
the Thorn Fairy's spirit of nobility.
Diasomnia has a lot
of really talented mages
who are skilled in all aspects of magic.
Ah. Look, there they are now.
-Hmm?
-Huh?
[Ace] Hold up. Is that a little kid?
[Trey] Yeah, no. He's not a kid.
He's in the same class as me.
What? Meaning he's…
Your senior, yes.
-Huh? [exclaims]
-Hmm?
-Aw. Hey, Lilia. [chuckles]
-[Deuce, Ace coughing]
[Grim] They teach you how to teleport
in this place?
[Lilia chuckles]
So my age is of interest to you?
Though it is true that I look like
a sprightly and beautiful young man…
Hey!
The bespectacled one is correct.
I am not of an age
to be referred to as a child.
But you could have simply asked.
You needn't only admire me
from a distance.
We of Diasomnia
will always welcome your conversation.
[Deuce] It doesn't look like those two
want to welcome anything.
As a token of our friendship,
I will leave you with these.
Some licorice candy!
I trust you'll love it once you try it.
That's cute and all,
but we're not kids either.
[all exclaiming]
[exclaims] Hey!
-[Grim] Did you see him do that?
-[chuckles]
Did he use a spell to hear us
talking about him from this far away
-or is that just something he can do?
-Creepy.
[chuckles] Yeah.
Diasomnia is full of odd ones.
And their housewarden, Malleus, is worse,
if you can believe that.
[Trey] They say you can count on one hand
the number of mages
in the world who can top him.
Our housewarden is no Malleus,
but he's very strong in his own right.
He's that good, huh?
Oh, yeah. Take that collar
around your neck, for example.
That's what we in the biz
call a signature spell.
And what does that entail?
It's a unique spell based on
a mage's personality and specialties.
You develop it yourself.
Based on the mage's personality
and specialties…
So, Cater's alter egos from this morning?
[Cater] Yep. That's my signature spell…
Split Card.
You've already seen the effects
of Riddle's spell.
If he deems you a nuisance,
he can seal your magic for a time.
In true Heartslabyul fashion,
he calls it Off With Your Head.
[exclaiming]
It's already happened to me
and it's still scary!
Not being able to use your magic
at a magic academy sounds pretty tough.
Well, as long as you're following
the rules, there's nothing to worry about.
So, if I ever expect to ditch this collar,
I have to buy the prissy little princess
a replacement pie?
[Trey] I believe that is what Queen of
Hearts rule 53 says. So, yes, you do.
[Ace groans] Take away all my magic
for eating one stupid slice
of one stupid tart…
Like, the pettiness of it all
is just psychotic. [grunts]
[Riddle] Is that so?
Would you care to elaborate?
[all gasp]
[Ace yelps]
Housewarden.
[theme song playing]
[song ends]
[sighs] I'm exhausted.
Whoa. Where did all those bags come from?
[chuckles] I went shopping.
I went to every store
that looked like it might have clothes
that would suit my unique adorability.
[Silver] Excessive.
Well, I obviously need a stage outfit
for the Pop Music Club's
next concert, don't I?
I wanted some things to choose from!
That's still kind of a lot.
-Now, let us begin.
-Begin what?
Choosing the ultimate outfit, of course.
I refuse to settle for less.
Okay. Have fun with that.
Where do you think you're going, Silver?
I want your input too.
I don't know anything about fashion,
so I'll--
Then you shall learn.
Outfit one: "Bunny."
-Uh-huh.
-So? What do you think?
Don't these big ears
make me look even more adorably cute?
Uh, it's not my thing.
Huh.
[stammers] Oh, no, no, no.
Please don't do this.
Oh, those ears really bring out your eyes!
You should keep that, Silver.
Outfit two: the humble "Squirrel."
My favorite food is walnuts.
[chomping]
How's this one?
I still don't understand
what you're asking me.
Just not getting it?
Then why don't you join me?
-Nibble, nibble. Nibble, nibble.
-Nibble, nibble.
-Vibing now?
-No. I cannot say that we are.
[Lilia] That just means
we haven't found the right look yet.
Let's see what else I have in here…
Ah! How could I forget?
This one's my real favorite.
Ready?
Number three: "Owl." Hoo, hoo. Hoo, hoo.
-Killer, right?
-You're wasting time asking me.
Yes. This is the one! The wise old owl
perfectly emphasizes my cuteness.
[sighs]
I can't wait to wear this
to our next Pop Music Club show!
I'm glad you're happy.
Me too! Isn't it wonderful?
[Lilia hooting]
