Disney Twisted Wonderland: The Animation (2025) s01e06 Episode Script

[Ace] There! All done.
Tomorrow's the unbirthday party.
Don't be late.
I'll definitely get him
to get rid of this collar.
Just you wait, housewarden.
[gasps] Trey. Cater.
I can't live like this anymore.
What exactly does everyone
take the rules for?
I can't believe their audacity.
[grunts]
-[insects chirping]
-[owl hooting]
[Grim snoring]
[ethereal music playing]
-[magic chiming]
-[water flowing]
[gasps]
For painting my roses red,
someone will lose their head!
[Three of Clubs] Your Majesty,
if anyone's to blame, it's him.
[Two of Clubs] No, it was Ace.
[Ace of Clubs] No! It was the Two.
Enough of this!
[echoing] Off with all three
of your heads!
-[music ends]
-[gasps]
[Grim snoring]
[sighs]
I can't finish all this canned tuna…
[snoring continues]
[Yuken] Another weird dream.
I hope nothing bad will happen
at today's party.
[theme song playing]
[song ends]
AN ARMY OF ONE
[birds chirping]
[yawns] So sleepy…
Geez. I'll give him the tart,
apologize right away,
and get this thing removed.
-[Cater copies] Good morning!
-[all] Huh?
[Yuken, Grim, Deuce, Ace shout]
-[copy 1] Guys, you're late.
-[copies chattering]
-[groans]
-[copy 2] We got tired of waiting for you.
-So it's Cater's signature spell.
-[Cater] Good morning.
-Don't scare us like that.
-[copy 5] Did you sleep well?
Eh? I was just giving you
a cheerful welcome.
But where'd you get your formal clothes?
I took it from their room
and gave it to them.
Since someone wouldn't let me
into the dorm.
[copy 2] Ah, okay.
That's a really cool outfit!
A party naturally calls for formal wear.
You too, Grimmy. Ta-da.
[staff chimes]
Wow. Yahoo! I look so cool.
[copy 4] Looks like you didn't forget
the all-important present.
All right, let's go.
[all] Heartslabyul House's traditional
unbirthday party will now begin.
-[students chattering]
-[tableware clinking]
[gasps]
[gasps] Look how fancy it is!
Oh?
Aren't there too many guys
wearing the collar?
Well, there was a situation…
Huh?
[trumpets playing fanfare]
Now entering, our great leader,
the red sovereign himself…
Housewarden Riddle!
[regal music playing]
Wow.
Hmm?
Good. The garden roses are red
and the tablecloths are white.
A perfect unbirthday party.
There is a dormouse asleep
in the teapot, I presume?
[Trey] Of course.
We also prepared a jam to spread
on its nose should it become necessary.
[Riddle] Good.
Let us make a toast
before we begin the croquet tournament.
Does everyone have a teacup?
Now, on this inauspicious day,
I bid you all a very merry unbirthday.
Cheers.
[all] Cheers.
[students chattering]
Yay!
[munching loudly]
[music continues]
Isn't this your chance, Ace?
Okay.
Uh, Housewarden.
Hmm?
I baked a whole new tart
to apologize for eating the tart.
Hmm.
What kind of tart did you make?
Great question!
One with plenty of fresh chestnuts…
A chestnut tart!
-[gasps]
-[music ends]
H-Housewarden?
-[grunts]
-[gasps]
Unbelievable!
Huh?
[all gasp]
[both gasp]
-[intense rock music playing]
-[Riddle] Rule 562:
"One must never bring a chestnut tart
to an unbirthday tea party!"
This is an outrageous violation
of the rules!
Do you have any idea what you've done?
[inhales sharply] You have ruined
the unbirthday party!
R-Rule 562?
Just how many rules are there?
A total of 810!
I have memorized them all!
810 rules?
Oh, no. We're in big trouble…
I memorized up to Rule 350.
I didn't expect there to be one
dictating the type of tart.
As housewarden of Heartslabyul House
that honors the Queen of Hearts's
strict discipline,
I cannot overlook this rule infraction!
Discard it immediately!
Huh? What a load of nonsense!
If you're tossing it, I'll eat it!
[stammers]
[Trey] My apologies, Housewarden.
I was the one who suggested
he make a chestnut tart.
We didn't think
there would be such a rule.
Baking the tart isn't what's important.
Bringing it today,
to this party, is the issue!
[music ends]
-[stammers]
-[exhales shakily]
[grunts]
Hey, is following that rule
really that important?
I don't think anyone here thinks
that chestnut tart is a problem.
[grunts]
[grunts, inhales shakily]
-What are you say--
-Exactly. Are you an idiot?
[exhales]
Did you… call me an idiot?
Okay, stop right there.
That word is off-limits.
No, I'm gonna say it!
Everyone thinks that rule is idiotic!
It's ridiculous!
I agree with Ace. It's too unreasonable.
-[sinister music playing]
-Quite bold of you to argue with me.
[shouting] Everyone's too scared
to say it,
but they all think this is insane, right?
-[Riddle] Oh, do you?
-[all gasp]
-Of course not, Housewarden.
-What he said.
[scoffs] Brownnosing cowards. How lame.
In the year I have been housewarden,
not a single Heartslabyul student
has been expelled or held back a year.
Heartslabyul is the only House
to achieve this feat.
Thus, I am the most righteous!
I have the best grades and strongest magic
among the students of this house!
Obeying me without question
is the absolute correct path!
You are the ones making a mistake
by breaking the rules.
If you will not obey me,
then it's off with all of your heads!
Everyone, come on.
Say, "Yes, Housewarden."
I can't.
Me neither.
I refuse to follow such a cranky tyrant.
[gasps] What did you just call me?
We said you're a selfish tyrant
who doesn't know how to respect food!
[groans]
[staff chiming]
[all gasp]
Off With Your Head!
Remove them at once!
[all grunt]
Sorry. We can't disobey the housewarden.
I'm sorry. I'll convince him
to let you in if you apologize.
Damn it. I will never apologize!
Well then, let's re-collect ourselves
and carry on with the party.
We must hold our croquet tournament today.
Y-Yes, Housewarden.
[music ends]
Are you sure this is okay?
[breathes shakily]
[eerie music playing]
[panting]
[all laughing]
[giggling]
[both sigh]
[young Riddle crying]
[gasps] Wait, Mother!
You're wrong! It wasn't their fault!
-[doors creaking]
-[gasps]
[breathes shakily]
[sighs] We are 15 minutes behind schedule.
How horrible.
[groans] Damn it! I'm so angry!
-That tiny, redheaded tyrant!
-[Grim straining]
Does he think
he's the Queen of Hearts herself?
[sighs] I'm getting further
and further away
from becoming an honor student.
[straining] This thing is too tight.
And heavy!
-[straining]
-[sighs]
-[creepy laughter]
-[gasps]
Y'all look great with all those collars.
[all scream]
[Grim shrieks]
I-It's a ghost head!
Oops. Forgot about my body. Meow.
[magic chimes]
[chuckles]
-[gasps]
-Who are you?
I am Artemiy Artemiyevich Pinker.
The mysterious "purrson"
with powers like a cat and a human, meow.
Arte…
Yevich… What?
Everybody calls me Chenya.
I'm in a bad mood 'cause of that tyrant.
So get lost.
Calling Riddle a tyrant?
[giggles]
I guess you can call him that. Meow.
He was such a serious lil kitten
even as a kid.
Even as a kid?
You know him?
Perhaps I do. And perhaps I don't. Meow.
[Grim] Which is it?
If you know him, then tell me.
How exactly did he become so tyrannical?
[Chenya] Then go ask that four-eyes. Meow.
[Deuce] Four-eyes? You mean Trey?
He's known Riddle
since they were little kids.
[Deuce] So the housewarden and Trey
are childhood friends.
-[Chenya] See ya.
-[Deuce] Ah, hey, wait!
-[magic chimes]
-[gasps] Oh.
[Chenya humming, echoing]
He's gone.
What a little weirdo, meow.
[gasps] Now I'm talking like him.
The housewarden and Trey
are childhood friends.
[curious music playing]
[Deuce] Guys,
let's go talk to Trey, after all.
No way am I gonna apologize
just to get this collar off.
[sighs]
-[Trey] You guys.
-Ah.
[Trey] So you were here.
[Deuce] Trey.
Did you come because
you were worried about us?
Yeah.
Since it's also my fault.
If you really think so, then how long
are you gonna keep bowing down to him?
Aren't you childhood friends?
[grunts]
Some guy named Chenya told us.
[Trey] That's how you knew.
In any case, aren't you older than him?
Just give him a good scolding.
Exactly. What he said.
-I can't do something like that.
-[music ends]
Huh? Why not?
Because strict discipline is
what made Riddle who he is.
[sentimental music playing]
[Trey] His parents were famous
magical healers in our town.
His mom had especially
high expectations of him.
She scheduled every waking minute
of his life for studying.
She decided what he ate,
what he wore, everything.
Even who his friends were.
Despite all that, he did as he was told
and mastered his signature spell
at ten years old.
That's how he grew up.
Riddle believes following strict rules
can help a person grow and improve.
And that breaking those rules
is absolutely evil.
So, if he accepts
that rules can be broken,
it would mean denying his entire existence
since he was made
through those strict rules?
I understand why you think he's a tyrant.
And that his way of doing things is wrong.
But I really can't bring myself
to tell him off.
I didn't know
the housewarden had such a past.
And that's why he's like that.
[grumbles]
[music ends]
I finally get it now
after hearing your story.
-[hands tap table]
-[grunts]
It's your fault Housewarden Riddle
became like that!
-[gasps]
-Huh?
Riddle couldn't choose his own parents,
so let's forget about that.
But at the very least,
you had thought his parents
were wrong, didn't you?
[gasps]
[gasps] Wait, Mother!
You're wrong! It wasn't their fault!
[door closes]
[sighs]
If you think the housewarden
is making the same mistakes
as his mom, then you need to tell him.
You need to correct him.
What's the point of going easy on him
because you feel bad for him?
You're gonna just watch as he becomes
isolated and hated by everybody?
H-Hey, Ace.
[Ace] Or what?
You won't say anything 'cause
you're too scared of getting collared?
-How freaking lame!
-[all gasp]
You're childhood friends?
Yeah, right. That's not
how friends treat each other!
[exhales deeply]
[breathes shakily]
Well said, Mr. Trappola.
-Huh?
-Whoa!
H-Headmage? When did you get here?
I see you have your differences
with your housewarden.
So, how much have you heard--
[Headmage] If that is the case,
why don't you become housewarden?
You should challenge
Mr. Rosehearts for the seat.
Cha…
[students] Challenge him?
[students murmuring]
Oh, dear.
Mr. Rosehearts also became housewarden
by challenging the previous one.
[Ace] He did?
All students are given the right
to challenge their housewardens.
So, if he wins the fight,
not only can we get these collars removed,
but he'll become the housewarden too?
What will you do, Mr. Trappola?
Will you challenge Mr. Rosehearts?
Hmm…
All right!
I'll give it a shot!
[gasps]
If I become housewarden…
I was wrong.
I'm sorry.
…is what I'll make him say!
Hey, come on.
That's exactly what a tyrant would do.
I'll challenge him too.
I've always wanted to fight
for the top spot.
Me too.
Monster Grim, unfortunately,
only students of the same house
-can challenge the housewarden to a duel.
-[Grim yelps]
Ah, that's right. There is one more rule.
The duel must solely be fought with magic.
[all] Huh?
[laughs]
Be sure to abide by the rules and have
an enjoyable duel! Now, please excuse me.
-[Riddle screams]
-[groans]
Well, we'll manage somehow, right?
Y-Yeah!
-[Ace] Okay. Let's do it!
-[Deuce] Yeah!
[exhales shakily]
[insects chirping]
[ethereal music playing]
"Your Majesty," indeed!
What nonsense.
You're just a pompous,
bad-tempered tyrant.
[chuckles]
Off with her head!
[soldiers screaming, clamoring]
[gasps]
[snoring]
-[Yuken] It's finally the day.
-[music ends]
[birds chirping]
Are they serious?
They should quit while they can.
This is too reckless.
-You've arrived.
-[collar rattles]
DAUNTLESS COURAGE 1-A
ACE TRAPPOLA - DEUCE SPADE
[scoffs]
[Headmage]
We shall now begin the duel to decide
who shall be the housewarden
of Heartslabyul House.
In accordance with the duel rules,
please remove the magic-sealing collars
that put the challengers
at a disadvantage.
[staff chimes]
[Ace gasps]
-Wow, finally!
-[gasps]
You should enjoy
your brief moment of freedom.
After all, you will soon be wearing
those collars once again.
You won't know until we fight!
[Riddle] Do you truly believe that?
Of course.
I'd never ask for a duel as a joke.
Hmm…
Then what is the meaning of that
foolish-looking thing you are wearing?
[Yuken] I lent it to him.
The swordsmen in my world enter
great battles wearing this head armor.
[scoffs] Fine.
Housewarden Riddle,
it is almost time for tea.
What will you do?
What a silly question.
Make preparations as scheduled.
Yes, sir!
As you've heard, I do not have much time.
Come attack me together.
[both grunt]
Now then, the duel will begin the moment
this hand mirror shatters on the ground.
Ready…
Off With Your Head!
-[staff chiming]
-[dramatic music playing]
[shouts]
N-No way!
[both grunt]
-[groans]
-[gasps]
Huh?
Ace! Deuce!
[scoffs] It didn't even take five seconds.
[music ends]
[theme song playing]
[song ends]
[curious music playing]
[Jamil] Oy, Kalim.
Ruggie's here.
Oh, yeah, that was today.
I made a promise with Ruggie.
That I'd feed him some of
the best dishes from Scalding Sands.
Treat him?
So who will do the cook--
-Jamil, right?
-Wha…
What do you mean, "Jamil, right?"
I've had enough!
-Huh? Enough of what?
-[growls]
How many days in a row do you expect me
to cook for your guests?
Uh, one, two, three…
How many days was it?
[Jamil] It's been 20 straight days!
Oh. That's a lot.
[groans] I will not be cooking today.
Eh?
So today's plans are canceled.
I know you were looking forward to it,
so I'm sorry, Ruggie.
Canceled? No way!
I'm never gonna let this go!
-Eh?
-Didn't you say it yourself?
That we're gonna have a blast
eating and dancing!
Y-Yeah…
[stomach growls]
That's why I skipped last night's dinner
to make room in my stomach for today…
and even got all these containers
-to take the leftovers home with me!
-Eh?
You were looking forward to it that much?
Of course!
All right, I understand!
-I'll cancel the cancellation!
-[music ends]
[cheerful music playing]
I'll make you the best meal all by myself.
What? Can you cook, Kalim?
I'll make the famous
Scalding Sands's stew.
-[stomach rumbles]
-Oh!
I can just put everything
here in the pot, right?
-[shoes squeak]
-You can't!
You've never cooked before, right, Kalim?
Right.
Jamil.
It's a waste of time to call me.
I'm not cooking today.
Come on, don't say that.
No, I've made my decision.
Well, I get it.
Some days, you're just not in the mood.
-But is that okay?
-Huh?
The ingredients are: some sort of meat,
mushrooms from someplace,
whatever fruit is on hand,
and I'll add plenty of spices!
-Kalim, wait.
-Okay, okay, okay.
-What exactly are you making?
-Huh?
See.
You can't just leave the cooking to him.
I'm not cooking.
I decided
I will absolutely not cook today.
I know.
But are you sure?
Kalim is about to do
something weird again.
All right.
In that case, I'll just cook with magic!
[water bubbles]
-[Jamil grunts]
-[chuckles]
[Jamil] Darn it!
[crows cawing]
[panting]
[munching loudly]
Then I'll take these with me!
-See ya!
-[sighs]
