Disney Twisted Wonderland: The Animation (2025) s01e08 Episode Script

1
[Riddle] Ah…
what an incredible feeling.
The power welling up inside of me
is irresistable.
[Headmage] The blot then overflows
and corrodes the mage
with negative energy.
They lose control of both their powers
and their emotion
and havoc ensues.
That is Overblot.
My dears,
off with all your heads.
FINALE FOR HEARTSLABYUL
Um, I don't think I understood that.
-Me neither.
-Oh, come on.
It's not that hard.
He's gone full evil crazy berserker.
If he continues to shed magical energy
like this,
he may well lose his life
when it runs out.
What? He could die?
We must bring him back to his senses
before that happens.
For losing him would be disastrous,
of course.
But even worse would be…
-[gasps]
-[Grim exclaims]
Never mind, our students' lives
must be our top priority.
Alert the professors and the housewarden--
Order in the court!
[roars]
-[both gasp]
-[roars]
[all straining, grunting]
[grunts]
[Ace gasps] Are you guys seeing this?
He ruptured the ground.
And all he did was strike the ground once.
That's insane. Overblot is that powerful?
You shall henceforth refer to me
only as Lord Riddle.
And should you peasants dare defy me…
then off with your heads it shall be!
[cackling]
Riddle! You gotta stop--
I am the one who gives the orders!
[gasps]
Now, bow! Bow before your queen!
I cannot block them all.
[grunts]
[wincing]
That all you got?
[grunting]
[Riddle] Well?
Are you ready for your punishment?
It's time for your heads to roll,
once and for all!
[Headmage] Everyone,
retreat to the Hall of Mirrors.
You heard the man. Let's move.
[grunts] Huh?
[panting] Hey!
Gale force winds!
Come forth, Giant Cauldron!
[exclaims]
[groans]
[grunts]
[Cater] Are you nuts? What are you doing?
Uh-oh. If he keeps going on like this,
things will get real bad.
I refuse to stand by
and watch him destroy himself.
Besides, he still hasn't apologized to me,
and I'm not gonna let him
get away with that.
[grunts]
[Trey] What about me?
What have I ever done for him?
I'm staying.
Headmage, lead the other students away.
[Cater] Uh, Trey… hold up.
You have to trust me. I can overwrite
his magic for a little while.
That will be your chance to attack.
You must not engage.
This is far too dangerous!
Seriously, what are you thinking?
You can't even beat Riddle on a good day.
So, what, you only fight
when you know you can win?
You are such a wimp.
You'll never be cool
with an attitude like that.
Well, I can't think of a better way
to get him to snap out of this.
So unless you got a better idea…
Yeah.
We'll have to face our fears
and do it together.
Sorry, Cater.
But I am not going to lose him to this.
[no audible dialogue]
[Trey] Because…
[no audible dialogue]
…there's something I need to tell him.
[groans]
Something I should've done
a long time ago.
[gasps]
Fine. Shoot. The things I do for you.
But I do not like or subscribe to this.
I mean it.
I understand. Thank you.
[grunts]
Ugh, fine. I shall return
once the other students have evacuated.
Do try to survive, please.
Ridiculous fools
and shameless rule breakers, all.
Very well.
Then you shall all be sentenced to death!
-[gasps]
-What are those?
Relax, I got this one.
Gale force winds!
There we go!
What? [exclaims]
[straining]
[gasps]
-Oh, blot!
-It's corroding the ground.
[cackling]
You will rue the day
you ever dared to challenge your lord.
[all grunting]
[straining]
[Grim screams]
[grunting]
[Grim screams]
-Oh, no!
-Help! These things got me pinned!
-[yelps]
-[screams]
[Grim whimpering]
[gasps]
[screaming]
[Yuken] Not good.
Paint the Roses!
[both grunt]
That really is a great spell.
Keep your head on a swivel.
Oh, my ribbon. Oh, man.
Trey.
None shall stand in my way!
[gasps]
[groaning]
Where?
-Deuce! Move it!
-Huh?
[grunts]
[breathing shakily]
Hang in there, okay?
[gasps]
Nah, forget about me.
You keep fighting, and don't…
[exhales deeply]
[gasps] Cater.
Cater, no! [screams]
What?
You silly. I've been here the whole time.
[Deuce] Oh, yeah. Your Split Card spell.
[duplicates] Quit spacing out.
Now let's roll!
[roaring]
Is this guy
just a bottomless pit of magic?
I'm ready to go when you are, Trey.
Then let's do this.
I'll cover you.
Paint the Roses!
Cay-Cay-Gang-Gang, time to do your thing.
-With pleasure.
-With pleasure.
[groaning]
Fire!
[Ace] Dude!
Perfect strategy.
-You goin' in?
-Bet.
Am I being… overpowered?
Gale force cyclone!
[Deuce] Come forth, Giant Cauldron!
[shouting]
[shouts]
But how?
How?
I am never wrong.
I must be right.
If I'm not right, then…
then what has this all been for?
[groaning]
[screams]
Riddle.
[exclaiming]
Geez. Is this ever gonna end?
[Yuken] Yes.
Look at how he's acting.
[groaning]
[Yuken] He's losing focus,
and it's leaving him wide open.
If I can strike at just the right time…
-[spear thuds]
-[Grim squeals]
[shudders] I'd have been a total goner
if it wasn't for this thing.
I need that back.
[all gasp]
[straining, groaning]
You half-wit.
Have you forgotten you can't use magic?
I will end your miserable life!
Hmm…
[yells]
Whoa, why is he walking like that?
Don't ask me.
It's like he has suction cups on his feet.
TOKYO
ENMA
Incredible.
-Watch out!
-[yells]
No way. Did he seriously get them all?
Ace, get Deuce and Grim.
It's a team battle.
Team battle?
[gasps]
[chuckles]
-That's what's up. Leave it to us.
-[Grim grunts]
[Yuken yelling]
[grunts]
Nice work. You wanna go again?
You bet I do.
[yells]
[straining]
[gasps]
[screaming]
A wavering sword belies a wavering heart.
And now that you've lost sight
of yourself,
you might as well be standing still.
[groans]
Why do you refuse to obey me?
When bowing your heads
will only benefit you?
[yells]
[yelling]
Riddle! I know you're in there.
Don't let the blot or darkness defeat you!
[howls]
[screams]
But I…
I followed all the rules.
How could I be wrong?
How?
Mother? Please…
[no audible dialogue]
[Riddle] I don't know how I'm to explain
the brilliance of it all.
Things I didn't know,
the games I'd never played.
A bright red tart
sitting on a pure white plate.
Parts of a world I longed to live in.
[mother] What is the matter with you?
You not only ignored your schedule,
but you went out
to eat that sugar-laden filth.
[Riddle]
No, Mother, wait, you're mistaken!
[mother] Permitting any free time at all
is simply too much for you.
No, Mother, wait, you're mistaken!
I'll never do it again. I swear!
But Mother is a brilliant woman.
Accomplished and always right.
Who better to trust than her?
And yet,
bound as I am by her rules,
my heart aches.
I need you, Mother.
Which rule do I follow
to be rid of this pain?
[grunts]
[gasps]
[Trey] Riddle.
Riddle.
-[whimpering]
-[Trey] Riddle.
Riddle.
Riddle.
Riddle.
Riddle.
Riddle.
Riddle!
[Riddle] Trey.
[Ace] He's awake.
Finally. I've been over here all freaking
out like you were never gonna wake up.
What did I… What happened?
Ah, how wonderful.
It would seem your consciousness
has been restored.
[Riddle] My what?
Y-You don't need to worry
about anything now. Just rest.
Uh-uh! Don't you start coddling him again.
That's exactly why he goes crazy berserker
whenever someone raises their voice.
Now the garden is trashed,
and, oh, yeah,
a whole bunch of us almost died.
Yeah, that's pretty hard to argue with.
Boy, no kidding.
It sure ain't pretty
when you human folk get all stressed.
[Yuken chuckles]
Okay, but, like, you didn't die, so maybe
cut him a little slack for a minute.
-Cater…
-Huh?
…I really wanted to eat the chestnut tart.
[both gasp]
I don't care about croquet
or what color the roses are.
I don't want to take my black tea
with sugar. I prefer it with honey.
I like milk tea more than lemon tea.
I want to relax with everyone
after a meal.
And I really wanted…
[sobs] …time…
to play with Trey and Chenya. [sobbing]
No way.
Riddle Rosehearts crying like a baby?
Don't you think you'll get away with this
just 'cause you started cryin'.
You could use a crash course
on how to read a room.
[sobbing continues]
Riddle…
I'm so sorry.
I knew you were struggling,
and I did nothing but look the other way.
But I won't do that anymore.
Riddle,
the way you've gone about things is wrong.
You owe everyone an apology.
[Riddle] I'm sorry. [sniffles]
I'm so truly sorry! [sobbing]
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
That's funny. I always wondered
what I'd say if you ever apologized.
And now that we're here, you know…
one rinky-dink little "sorry"
ain't gonna cut it.
I will never let you live this down!
[Cater] Uh…
You sure you wanna say that right now?
Absolutely!
This dude walked all over me and my pride.
Plus, I worked really hard
on that chestnut tart,
and he threw it out with the trash!
He's gonna have to prove it to my face,
'cause his words mean nothing to me!
Wow. He's the type of guy that'd hold on
to his grudges even longer than me.
If that's the case,
what would you have me do?
[Ace] Well, I don't know about you,
but my birthday ain't for a while.
What? What does that have to do
with literally anything?
Gettin' there.
I demand a full do-over
of the entire unbirthday party.
Wha…
'Cause a certain someone
kicked us all out of the last one.
And this time,
I want a whole fresh tart from you.
Ah, and you don't get to have Trey
come in there and help you out either.
You gotta do it all on your own.
You swing that,
maybe I'll think about forgiving you.
Maybe.
Yes, I can do that.
Ah, yes, how lovely it is
to see you work things out.
Another issue resolved
under my watchful eye.
[Cater] All right, guess
we ought to get started with the clean-up.
[sighs] Ace is right.
Her beautiful rose garden
is totally trashed.
Trey, you think you can get him
to the nurse's office on campus?
-Sure.
-Yes, come.
I shall be delighted
to escort you gentlemen.
[chuckles]
[stomach growling]
[sighs]
All that runnin' and fightin'
and screamin'
made me so hungry I could eat an elephant.
Hmm?
[sniffing]
Aw, I know that smell!
[gasps]
This is the same type of rock
that came out of the big fella
we fought in the magestone mine.
Don't put it in your mouth before you…
Stop it!
Ah!
It's so rich and sweet and complex.
And I can detect the faintest hint
of a lovely bitter aftertaste.
Y-You're going to destroy your stomach
doing that one day.
That's what you think, pal.
What kind of cast-iron guts do you have
to process that?
Eating stuff off the ground
can still make you sick, ya know?
Now that you mention it,
this grass looks pretty good.
[Yuken] All right, stop that. Spit it out.
Spit it out!
-[gags]
-You gotta ditch those gloves, man.
-Nicely done. Thanks, you guys.
-[chattering]
-[Ace] What are we? Your dad?
-Huh?
You say something?
[Cater] Oh, no. Ignore me.
It's nothing important.
[ceremonial trumpets playing]
Please welcome our leader,
the red sovereign himself,
our Housewarden, Riddle Rosehearts!
[Riddle] Good.
The roses are red
and the tablecloths white.
A perfectly decorated unbirthday.
Uh, and the dormouse in the teapot…
[gasps]
Wait. It doesn't matter if it's there.
You don't have to give up
on every rule at once.
Even if you don't spread jam
on the dormouse's nose,
you can still eat some.
Instead of thinking in absolutes,
try thinking,
"What if we did it like this today?"
Yes. That is wise.
Then let's turn up.
Party time!
[gasps] Stop everything!
Those roses are white!
No! We're so dead.
Riddle, hang on.
Oh, no. Who was in charge of those?
-Oh, this is bad.
-It's going to be off with our heads.
[breathing heavily]
[exclaiming]
[all whimpering]
[all gasping]
Where were we?
Ah, yes. Silly of me. Our unbirthday.
-[all cheering]
-[student 1] Yeah!
[student 2] Long live our red sovereign!
[students laughing, chattering]
He's growing up. Well done.
Here's the tart I made.
I hope you find it satisfactory.
What an interesting design.
I like that you went the extra mile
to glaze the strawberries
and really make them shine.
It's well done for your first try.
Ah! You're babying him again.
But I guess today is fine.
Let's dig into this bad boy.
Thank you for the tart.
[all groan]
It's so salty! The heck did you do
to make it come out like this?
What? I read the recipe so carefully.
And I measured each ingredient twice.
There shouldn't be anything wrong with it
at all.
Though I suppose I may have used a bit
too much of Trey's secret ingredient.
The oyster sauce?
You did not!
Of course. When we were small,
he said that all the greatest bakers
use it for depth of flavor.
[Ace] And you believed him?
[laughing]
Sorry, I shouldn't laugh, but I've never
seen anyone fall for that till now.
[chuckles] Yes, of course.
That was silly of me.
[chuckles]
[children giggling]
[both laughing]
[chuckles]
[camera shutter clicks]
[Chenya humming]
I can always count on Trey to bust out
the most a-meow-zing desserts.
Wait. Chenya. Why are you here?
[grunts]
Please. You can't throw such lavish
parties and expect me to skip every one.
Merry unbirthday.
Okay, seriously, who is that guy?
Oh, Chenya's a friend from another school.
Oh?
[Trey] He's a student
at the Royal Sword Academy,
which happens to be Night Raven's
rival school in many respects.
You guys got other magic schools?
[Trey] Yeah. Though normally we only
ever get to see him at Spelldrive events.
What's Spelldrive?
It's a famous sport. You might enjoy it.
Players battle for control of a disk
using their magic abilities.
We've got an interdorm tournament
coming up soon.
[Kingscholar] You need more than strength
to win a Spelldrive game.
You also gotta use this.
[chuckles]
You're devious, Leona.
I hope they're prepared.
I'm taking everything.
[Riddle] Things at Heartslabyul House
are the same as always.
However, this is the start
of a fresh new beginning for me.
I will no longer dole out punishments
for one or two miscolored roses.
You're so benevolent, Riddle.
[Riddle] Yes.
Unfettered from the rules, I am free.
THE POST-MEAL BEVERAGE IS TO BE
LEMON TEA WITH TWO SUGAR CUBES
[gasps] The post-meal lemon tea
is only meant to have two sugar cubes.
-[gasps]
-Oh, no matter.
Ah, yes.
This way is all right too.
You're making really good progress.
Dude, we gotta go.
LEAVE THE TABLE WITHIN
15 MINUTES OF COMPLETING LUNCH
-Has it been 15 minutes already?
-No need to rush. Please take your time.
You are so benevolent, Riddle.
Well, I guess in that case,
we could stay a little longer.
[Riddle] Sixteen minutes.
Seventeen minutes!
-[student 1] I gotta walk the fish.
-[student 2] I gotta go eat my homework.
You are so…
Well, you tried.
[Riddle] Hmm. No, no, no. This isn't good.
I need to practice tolerance and grace.
I will no longer give thanks
before a meal.
[both] Eh?
[Riddle] I'll add as much sugar as I like.
[both] Eh?
[Riddle]
And I'll refill my teacup again and again.
I don't care if all that tea
will keep me wide awake.
If I want to enjoy my tea time
all night long, then I shall.
-[gasps] Riddle?
-Riddle?
[yawns]
You know, some rules really are there
for a reason.
Don't feel like you have to change
your good habits.
[yawns]
