Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake (2023) s02e06 Episode Script
The Bird in the Clock
1
[narrator] A long time ago
before the dawn of most things,
there were two brothers,
and they were inseparable.
They were a mischievous pair,
[both laugh]
And one day,
their pranks went too far.
[both laugh]
They were so proud
of eating the etheric pizza,
which they had been
told never to touch.
But dang how good it was
Until
When they found themselves
in serious hot water,
these tight knit brothers
began quarreling
for the very first time
One brother panicked and laid
the blame on the other.
- Judgment was swift.
- [blade whirring]
The brothers were separated.
The one accused
of being the instigator
was cast down,
never to be heard from again.
The other was chastised
for betraying his brother
and was sentenced
to become fate's messenger.
[hoots]
[opening theme playing]
[Gary] What's up, Fionna?
Is everything okay?
You sounded
so serious on the phone.
Dead serious.
- Ahh!
- [crow caws]
Nice ambience.
No Hunter
I've got good news, everybody.
Follow me.
You comin', HW?
No. Gotta find the heart.
Who's your surly friend?
Oh, she's an alternate version
of Hunter
marooned in our universe.
Oh.
[crows caw]
Wait, what are we doing here?
Surprise!
It's our venue.
Welcome.
Uh Why?
Why? Can't a mother
help her son?
We had to move fast,
so I made the deal last night.
[coughs]
It's great, right?
We can fit so many people
in here.
But why would you want to?
Oh, Marshall, you belong here.
How do you like yourself
in Carrara marble, darling?
I made them
redo your face five times.
I think you look like an angel.
Is that one yours?
Not at all.
It's for you.
Or whoever Marshall
ends up with.
We'll see how this works out.
Gee, thanks.
No, no. Decorate
with a sense of grandeur.
[Cake] Hmm.
I was thinking you guys could
maybe, like, skate around town
and hand them out.
Hey, don't go down that path
with that lady.
- I know where it leads.
- [laughing]
- What? No, you don't.
- Uh-huh!
I saw a vision of the future
where you end up as her lackey.
Pfft, no way that'll happen.
She's not using me.
I'm using her.
Okay, people, we've only got
three days till the event.
Go spread the word.
You heard her, flunkies.
Faster! Pronto, pronto!
Man, I don't know about this.
She knows you'd never
take her money directly.
But isn't this kind of perfect?
Where else can you be sure
your mom
is going to hear
what you're saying?
And isn't it kind of punk
or metal to play a set
on top of your own grave?
Punk, huh? [chuckles]
Dork.
Fionna, I wanted
to say [sighs]
"Hey, Fionna, I'm sorry
I hung up on you.
I was feeling"
Hmm.
[in Spanish]
Que planta tan hermosa.
[in English] Hey!
Don't touch me.
You're me?
- [grunts]
- [Huntress] No.
You are a soft version
of me. Weak.
You don't know me.
Let's keep it that way.
Real tough guy, huh?
[grunts]
[machine beeping]
[Bubblegum] I hate
seeing him this way.
[groaning weakly]
I didn't want to bring this up,
but I know a way to save him.
Huh?
No vampire stuff.
I have a better idea.
Hey! Old Lady Princess!
Oh, oh, oh, I'm here.
Are we doing more kissing?
[smacks lips]
No, I need a volunteer lab rat.
I'll do anything to save-- Ah!
Oh! I'm hideous. Ahh!
You're just gonna plump him up?
It's good for morale
if Finn looks healthy
and smooth.
[Vampire King]
Marceline, Marceline.
[Simon] But that's
just cosmetic.
You're only treating
the symptoms.
[groans]
We need to keep
people's spirits up.
Or there could be panic
across multiple kingdoms.
[Vampire King]
Why hesitate, child?
Bestow upon him The Dark Gift.
- Do it, do it. Now!
- [pulse beating]
Okay.
- [gasps]
- [slurping]
[gasps]
[moans, thud]
[Bubblegum and Simon]
Marceline!
[Cake] Nigh, nigh, Fi.
[DJ Slime] You're listening
to the original D.R.O.F,
my name is DJ Slime.
It's five past the hour.
Get ready for an all-night jam
with DJ Flame.
[DJ Flame] Shout out
to all my babies out there.
Looking forward to being
with you through the night.
Flame's got you.
[snoring]
[DJ Slime] You're so cool.
I'm glad you owe me
a life debt.
[door opens]
Wrong!
[grunts]
Baby Finn?
[chewing]
What are you
talking about, Dr. Calvin?
Hell yeah, I want the epidural.
Finn.
- [mechanical whirring]
- Finn!
Why did you have to be
such a stupid blundering
meat sack?
Why did you have to get hurt?
I tried to save you.
And look where it landed me.
[leaves fluttering]
Finn!
It's not real.
[Cosmic Owl] That's so weird.
You're dreaming
about my next stop.
I gotta give Finn
a croak dream.
Croak dream?
No!
Ahh!
Whoa! I'm just doing my job.
Cosmic Owl!
[piano playing]
Huh?
[breathing heavily]
You're a true loser.
[Fionna] Help me.
Hello?
I'm stuck, Bunhead.
I'll-- I'll get you out.
[grunts]
[groaning]
Get off my tail, girl!
No croak dream!
What's going on?
- You're dreaming, genius.
- [owl hooting]
Dreaming?
Oh, oh, oh.
Huntress! Do you need help?
[grunts]
[machine beeping]
I'm scared. What if they
turn out all mixed up like me?
[audience laughing]
A little known fact, Sammy,
your ancient Egyptians
there worship
the feline animal.
Ahh!
My babies.
[yells]
Ow! Ow! Ow!
Fionna, don't you
step on my babies.
We gotta
follow that bird, Cake.
[grunts]
MC, I'll be back.
It's okay, M-Cron.
She's gone now.
Let me take you out for coffee.
Get your mind off things.
[laughter]
[alien robot] Coo, coochy, coochy.
Simone?
Simone?
Simone!
[panting]
What?
No, no. Tie your shoes, mister.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Mmm.
Why do you
have to make it so hard?
I'm sorry.
[Fionna] You don't have to
take that from her. Talk back!
Oh, man. Oh, man.
[gasp]
Look at what's happening.
Ooh!
Ahh!
I knew it.
We must be in Flame's dream.
[grunting]
No!
We're meant to be.
Mmm-- Ooh!
- [yells]
- [toys squeak]
Uh, this is normal, by the way.
Sleeping with toys is normal.
Yeow! Just like my dream.
[DJ Flame] Up next, we got
something off my first EP,
- "Firefly."
- [turns off radio]
Yeah, the Cosmic Owl's presence
makes dreams come true.
And he's on his way
to give Finn a Death Dream.
- Ah!
- Uh
I was trying to stop him,
but I lost his trail,
thanks to you.
Why not just go
into Finn's dream
and stop him there?
I would need to find
an open conduit to him.
You're a Finn.
Sort of.
[sniffs]
And you've been to Ooo.
Have you met Finn?
I've met a Finn.
You're thrice blessed.
Think of him.
Oh, hello!
[groaning] Where are we?
We're in Finn's mind.
Our meat bodies are still back
in the cat's apartment.
Fionna! Huntress!
Are you guys doing okay?
Bleh! Those fingers
are in that brain.
Finn should be here somewhere.
Ahh!
[bubbling]
You.
Oh, hey. How's your head?
My head is fine.
My heart is heavy.
Jay ran away
with Little Destiny.
It's okay. They're both very
happy and safe in my world.
Your world?
[Finn grunts]
[Fionna] Finn?
Enough of this.
He isn't the right Finn.
You have to think
of the right, Finn.
I've met another Finn.
Saved my life once.
That sounds like him.
Think of him.
[slurping]
There you go, Marcie.
Get all those color nutrients.
You're doing good, babe.
[machine beeping]
Where's Finn?
- Here.
- Not you.
My bad.
Found him!
Are we early or too late?
[screaming]
[smooch]
[all scream]
Cries of distress. Yes!
[all yelling]
Adventure time!
Fionna, Keep dream Finn safe.
We'll keep watch
for Cosmic Owl.
Oh! Hello, handsome!
[grunting]
Dang.
[groaning]
[grunting in effort]
Bro can take care of himself.
What?
Ahh!
Hey!
You ungrateful little ticks!
Oh, no.
[clapping]
- Finn?
- [clock chimes]
Archers! Ready?
Loose arrows.
Yeah, yeah!
But He died.
As long as Cosmic Owl
isn't here, it don't count.
Come on.
Look for anything
that makes noise and rope.
[rattles]
Reload!
[speaking backwards]
Haha! I got you!
- Come on, dude.
- [archer] Loose arrows!
Get down!
Good hit.
Finn, you're in a coma
and we're in a dream.
Oh, cool.
Who are you?
My name is Fionna,
and I'm here to keep you alive.
Dude, you're like my girl-Jake.
Ahh!
[groaning] Get up.
[gasps]
Finn!
Finn!
[audience clapping]
Hurry.
[both panting]
Who are you?
You're in a coma dream,
but I'll keep you safe.
Math! You're like a girl-Jake.
Ahh!
- Who are you?
- It doesn't matter.
[both grunting]
Finn!
Fionna!
[maniacal laughter]
Un-sand him!
Who are you?
Time's up.
Ahh!
- Who are you?
- [clock chimes]
[audience clapping]
[grunting]
Argh!
- Oh, hey. Who are-- Ahh!
- Ahh!
Dang, we got a real
laser master over here.
- I did it!
- Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
Ahh!
No!
[audience clapping]
[panting]
[clock chimes]
[grunts]
Yeah, buddy. Feels good!
How do you keep going?
That's what heroes do.
But how do you know
if what you're doing is right?
I listen to my hero heart
and trust the universe
to lead me.
Hero heart!
Slash!
Ahh!
[bells ringing]
Ahh! I hate this.
[both grunting]
This is it.
The Cosmic Owl is here.
Begone, vulture.
Listen, I don't have a choice.
I'm just the messenger.
Then I'll have to croak
the messenger.
- [grunts]
- [straining]
[screaming]
[grunts]
[grunts]
Ahh!
It's all good. I stopped
the Cosmic Owl in time.
"In time"?
[laughs]
Heckin' heck.
So you, like killed a God?
Is that gonna be a big deal?
[grunts]
So what's your story?
You're like a hot me.
I owed you one.
[clock cuckoos]
I should add an axe mod.
[Huntress] Finn.
Huntress.
I know your only dream-Finn.
And you're not gonna
remember this,
but I'm gonna save you.
I love you, Huntress.
Later, Mertens.
Who are you? Argh!
Huntress?
You should let him know
what he means to you.
- I'm gonna remove my hands now.
- What?
Ahh!
[yawns]
Did it work?
Yes.
Finn will live
For now.
[snoring]
is she narcoleptic?
I just watched a guy
get killed,
like, a thousand times.
[licks]
Uh, Fi, maybe you should
take a day off.
I can't.
I need to save The Sweet Spot
and help my friends.
I'm supposed to be a hero.
[Cake] You already are a hero.
[sighs]
It's just hard.
Girl, just get out there
and follow your heart.
My heart.
[upbeat music playing]
DJ Slime, all night.
The city sleeps
while we provide the beats
here at GROF 95.5.
We got those
out of this universe--
[knocking]
Looks like we have a stalker
dropping by the studio.
If we're not back after
this deep cut,
come check on us, Mom.
[Wilhelm scream plays]
And if we do need
a tasteful funeral bouquet,
turn to today's sponsor.
Hey, what's up?
This is gonna sound weird,
but I saw you in a dream.
It felt important.
Yeah?
What kind of dream?
Uh
This is kind of a big thing.
[stuttering] I wanted to know
if you--
I know what you're gonna ask.
I've been
thinking about it, too.
Oh?
Yes, I'll play
at your fundraiser.
Anything to help you, Fi.
Oh.
Okay.
Yeah!, Really?
- That's great.
- Hey, keep it down!
I'm trying to listen
to DJ Flame.
- Look out!
- Ahh!
Fionna.
[distorted] Fionna.
[gasp]
[phone ringing]
Uh Thanks.
Hey.
No, no, Fen.
He was kidding about a stalker.
It was nothing to worry about.
[groans]
[guitar playing]
You wanted me
