The Worm and His Orchard

Huntress?
[squeaks]
[grunts frustratedly]
-[squeaks]
-[grunts]
-[squeaking continues]
-[frustrated grunting]
-Hey.
-[gasps]
What are we looking for?
Something that connects you
to the green magic
of your world.
Like I've got this dark corner
in the back of my mind
where magic flows.
You must have
something similar.
Though it could be
symbolized by anything.
[grunts]
Wha
Is my mind
inside Huntress's mind
in my mind?
[female voice crying]
[flames whoosh]
[crying continues]
-Open! Open!
-[banging at door]
I'm never gonna get back home.
I won't be able to save Finn.
[cries]
I'm sorry.
Everything sucks.
The Heart.
I thought the way to The Heart
would be within you.
But it was in my inner Mope.
I'm sorry.
[slurps]
This is my exit.
Uh, goodbye, Fionna.
Screw it.
Whoa!
[yowls]
[opening theme music playing]
Nice.
Whoa! [struggling]
Orbs.
Cool. A new world to ruin.
[screams]
Hey! Why did you follow me?
Why do I do anything?
[straining]
Dude, are you getting heavier?
That's what I do.
Pull everyone down.
No! [straining]
Flip!
[spits]
What now?
[Huntress] No!
Flip!
My girls!
[straining]
I'm coming, Fionna!
[distant screeching]
-[screeching continues]
-Uh?
I hear you.
Bushbaby!
[Huntress] Cake!
Where's Fionna?
She fell down another level.
Catch!
-[sharp snap]
-[grunts]
[screeching]
I'm coming.
For Fionna! I gotta be brave?
-[bellowing]
-[screams]
You're not a painball.
-[strains]
-[soft thud]
Where's the ground? [screams]
[soft thud]
Huh?
[gasps]
[exclaims]
[Fionna screaming]
Of course I land
in an alien death trap!
I guess this is what I deserve.
[blade whooshes]
[grunts]
[coughing]
[gasps]
Who are you?
[screeching continues]
You're close.
-[whimpering]
-Hey, little guy.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
[whimpering]
Poor sap.
[whimpers]
[trilling]
Oh, your name is Russel.
What happened to you?
Your home
has been poisoned too.
[whimpers]
[warbling, trilling]
[exclaims]
[gasps, exclaims]
Let's take you home.
[groans disgustedly]
What is this?
[Karmic Worm]
Those are my castings.
[hisses]
Sorry for slamming into you
back there.
I wasn't expecting company.
I don't see a lot of new faces.
Just new painballs.
Welcome to The Undergrowth.
I'm the Karmic Worm.
Could you pass me that?
Eating those is kind of my job.
[clanks]
You live down here
eating pain?
When someone in the multiverse
pushes down a thought,
I process it
so it can fruit again
on these trees.
A new framework,
a little lighter.
When they're ripe,
they'll float on
back to their source.
They might cycle back
down here again,
not that I look.
Huh?
How did you get here?
[chuckles]
Not that I'm complaining.
It's not just me.
Have you seen Fionna?
Oh, not yet.
But if she's here,
we'll find her.
I know this place
like the back of my mind.
So, are you
Finn's doppelganger?
Hmm.
Used to be. Yeah.
I remember
sort of dying in Ooo.
But my consciousness
awoke here.
I tried to be Finn.
I wanted what he had.
His things, his life.
Sounds familiar.
But I'm something else.
[chomps]
We're here.
Is this your garden?
Not exactly.
But it is special to me.
[whispers] Touch it.
[screaming]
Finn?
[laughing]
Enough arrows!
Well, stop blocking.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
[game sound effects playing]
Yay! Huntress!
You know, you could beat me
at video games more often
if we lived together.
-[groans]
-[BMO] Uh, who want to play
a different video game?
Whoa.
[yells] Jake!
-[gasps]
-You don't wanna see that one.
Trust me.
Finn's a sad fruit medley.
But the balls won't flow up.
He's not ready
to deal with those feelings.
Is everyone's
unprocessed junk down here?
[wings fluttering]
[whimpering]
Go on now.
Well, hello, Huntress.
Witch Wizard!
You followed me, dawg?
I've been waiting for you.
Did you drop something?
Give it here.
Whoops.
[clanging]
[chuckles]
All those years
guarding a buried cow
when I could have been
juicing on the greenest magic.
And now it's all mine!
[laughing maniacally]
[growls]
[screams]
Eat up, everyone.
Oh, Bubba,
you sure you don't want any?
You and Dad
have been working hard all day.
I'm just popping out
for a walk.
These hotdogs are crap!
But at least Starchy
won't have to cook.
[munching]
I know what you mean.
[munching]
Poor Gary.
[Venus Cosmic]
Prepare your earholes.
[screams] No!
-Ellis, tell them
-[humming loudly]
go beyond
the end of the peach.
Poor Ellis.
I think.
[Hana] Marshall, really.
I ask for peace and quiet
for one day and you whiff it.
And now you're trying
to make me feel guilty
pulling that sad face.
Sorry, Mom.
[Hana] You make things
so difficult.
Marshall.
I can't believe
she blew off the meeting.
[grunts]
Maybe she just had
a lot going on.
[sighs]
Frank already had it out for me
and now I'll never
get him off my back.
I just wish she would
get her shit together.
[grunts]
I've never heard them
talk like that before.
Are you okay?
Maybe you should stop.
[giggling]
There's enough dough
for everyone to make biscuits.
[laughs]
[man] Who's the kid?
[woman] I don't know.
She doesn't really talk
to anyone but the cats.
Boss doesn't mind.
Says, "A stray is a stray."
[man] Wow, that's sad.
[woman] Hey,
Larry brough doughnuts.
[man] Hell yeah!
[grunts]
[growls]
Fionna!
[gasps]
-[screams]
-Fionna!
[panting]
All I do is hurt everyone
around me.
[sobbing]
[grunts]
[laughs]
[both grunting]
-[screams]
-[laughing maniacally]
[grunts]
Oh, all right.
Take five, Witch.
-[scoffs]
-You look busted.
Shut up!
[laughing maniacally]
[grunting]
How'd you do that?
[grunting]
Why am I fighting you?
This stolen magic
is devouring you.
[growls]
[grunts]
[groans]
[straining] This is bullshit!
You can't keep me down.
I am a god here!
Do you hear? A god!
[grunts]
I've really come
to love this place.
The only thing I miss is
being around other deities.
You're a goddess, right?
Goddess?
[laughs]
Keep it up, honey.
It's working.
What's funny?
You serious?
I don't feel like a goddess.
I feel like a freak.
What? Why?
I can stretch into anything.
But it all seems wrong.
Like I'm trying
to be something I'm not.
That's heavy.
But there's no shame in it.
Thoughts come here
to transform. It's amazing.
And not just because
of what changes.
The changes reveal
what stays the same.
And what's that?
The truth.
It might cycle through here
a hundred times,
take a hundred forms,
but everyone is another chance
to know it, like you,
and the forms you take,
just, wow.
I'm so lucky
you landed in my
life.
I never thought of it
that way before.

[both laughing]
[Cake] Fionna!
I recognize this handywork.
She's not alone.
[Fern] It's just
a little further.
Maybe I can just crawl
under some sludge
and stay there
for the rest of my life.
You don't want to live here.
Hey, it's Fern.
We have a visitor.
Make that two.
Cake!
Fi!
Is it just me
or are you extra squishy?
Baby, you have no idea.
Is this worm a friend of yours?
Oh, you're going to
love him too.
He basically shits therapy.
[Fionna] Thanks.
Feel free to take a moment.
You've come a long way.
Is this tea his therapy?
Oh, no.
Though, honestly,
I have no idea
how he made that for you.
This is a beautiful
pizza box.
I wish I could
spend more time here.
I'm usually out taking care
of the undergrowth.
That's nice of you.
It's kind of a prison sentence.
[spits] Prison?
Oh, my brother and I
got pinched.
I was banished here.
But his punishment?
His punishment
was way worse than mine.
But I can't bring myself
to eat his regrets.
[weeping]
[gasps]
What's wrong?
We know him.
Really? Is he doing all right?
I'm sure I only see
the worst of it--
Baby, he's dead.
Uh, what?
I'm so sorry.
[weeping continues]
I deserve this.
How could I
have been so selfish?
If I process his painballs now
they'll have nowhere to go.
This is all that's left of him.
It's okay, hun, let it out.
That's worth a try.
You really are so brilliant!
He flatters me.
Our kind are like ideas.
Hard to kill outright.
[both gasp]
Dude.
-[orb cracking]
-[weeping continues]
Brother?
Hey. Um
Do you still like pizza?
It's really you!
I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean for--
I'm happy here.
I forgave you
thousands of years ago.
I've seen how much
you've been hurting.
But our work isn't done.
I know.
But I can't stand it anymore.
Let me help you.
It's okay to feel regret.
When you do,
know I'm here for you,
wanting you to be whole,
waiting until
I can see you again.
For you, Worm Brother.
Keeping mum, eh?
Your silence is only
digging you a deeper grave.
[shrieks]
[all gasping]
Mistrial in the court!
[shrieks]
Holy dooley.
Cosmic Owl, is that you?
You look rank.
I demand you let Finn go.
I got shanked on purpose.
-[gasps]
-What the hell?
Oh, okay.
But now you're back,
it'll be business as usual.
Nah, I quit.
[straining]
See ya!
[Orbo] Oi, you can't do that!
[Cosmic Owl]
You'll have to catch me first!
[Orbo] Aw, piss!
You okay?
Our meeting was perfect.
Knowing that the guilt
he's been carrying
could finally be lifted,
the way he didn't even hesitate
to set things right.
I'm so filled with pride
and love for my brother.
I messed up.
I bjorked it up real bad!
Baby, it's okay.
It's not okay.
But it's not too late
to set things right.
[Huntress] No, it's not.
[gasps]
[whistles]
Time for you
to go home, Fionna.
What about you? And Finn?
I lost the cure.
Oh, no.
It's for the best.
I'll find another way.
A better one.
Fionna.
Ready to get out of here?
Actually, I was
thinking of staying.
Oh.
Not forever.
I just
I think I need to see
what else this place
has in store for me.
And maybe get to know
that fine worm
a little better, too.
I get it.
But if you need me,
you just say the word, Fi.
You know I'm ride or die.
The portal's over there.
Get over here, girl.
Thank you.
For all the help.
And, Fionna,
you're not a broken tool.
You're really great.
You got this, girl.
It's okay to be nervous.
[exhales]
[groans] You
Let me loose so I can give you
a real ass kicking!
[spits]
We're heading back to Ooo.
No, you can't.
I'll have nothing! No powers!
I'll be a nobody.
You'll learn
to be somebody again.
What's going on?
[Princess Bubblegum]
We can't risk losing him
like that again.
His organs have gotten
significantly weaker.
He could go at any moment now.
There's no other choice.
[gun cocks]
We have to call his mom.
Hang on, Finn.
[shatters]
No!
