Costume Quest (2019) s01e07 Episode Script

The Keychain to My Heart - The Big Con

1 Oh, man, today's gonna be choice.
We're not here to have fun.
We're here to keep an eye out for monster activity.
Okay, and have some fun.
Any second now.
Any second now.
Ladies and gentlemen, tykes and tots, welcome to Costu-Coaster Day here at Nougatown at Nougatown! Every guest in a Halloween costume gets a free front-of-the-line pass.
All right, brah, let's go straight for the dragon coaster.
Noice.
We're gonna get there before any of these dinks.
Okay, if we start at the Funhouse and work our way back through, we will be able to hit as many rides as possible.
Forget that.
We got to go straight to the Steel Dragon coaster before all these twerps.
But I'm telling you, we'd hit more rides if we just Come on, Reynold.
We're wasting too much time.
- You're not listening to me.
- I refuse to let those two - in front of us get on the ride before us.
- Hey-hey, guys, what if we That would go against nature.
I don't get what point you're trying to make.
You've got to be kidding me.
Why do you keep pointing at me? Hey, Lucy.
Hey.
We don't talk much.
Not anyone's fault.
Yeah, w-well Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, look what we've got here, genuine handmade costumes.
You know, uh, back in my day, that was all we had.
Yes, sirree.
These synthetic, pathetic Abe Jr.
costumes are a disgrace to democracy.
I don't get it.
Why can't I have a single conversation with Lucy? You're awkward.
Welcome to my life.
I know, but now we're interdimensional monster-dueling teammates.
We can't be having awkward side convos.
I see your point.
I'm BFFs with you and Wren, but when it comes to Lucy, sometimes it feels like we're only acquaintances.
How do you become someone's BFF? Easy.
I just got to get a BFF coaster cam pic of us laughin' and having tons of fun.
Wait, how That doesn't But how will you get Lucy to laugh like that? Hmm.
With science! Hey, dudes! We got a train to catch! Everett! Oh.
Sorry, Wren.
I-I was gonna sit by Luce today.
But Lucy and I always sit together.
Yeah, well, uh, I never got to finish telling Lucy my, um, really interesting story on the local grasshopper overpopulation.
So irritating.
Come on, we haven't been seat buddies in ages.
It'll be fun.
Okay, fine.
Whatever.
So, Lucy, I was reading this fascinating article in, uh Whiz Kid Weekly about bottling bad breath, for science.
They say it's really promising! In ten years they're gonna specify a-a hundred different kinds of different kinds of bad breath! There's morning breath! Onion breath! Old person breath! Isn't that super interesting? Isn't it also interesting that I'm interested in things you're interested in? Can we talk about this after the ride is over? But Yeah, sure.
Ladies and gentlemen, tykes and tots, it seems we're having some technical rechnical rechnical difficulties.
The Steel Dragon never breaks down.
This has got to be some kind of monster scheme.
Please follow the safety path by gripping the handrail firmly.
Could be.
But first things first everyone grab the handrail and walk single file down the Look! Suspicious Grubbin fleeing the scene! We got to fly.
What? Uh, guys? I can't power up.
- I lost my helmet.
- What?! Must've happened when I was having that, uh great conversation with Lucy.
Who has conversations on a roller coaster? Uh, you guys go chase that thing.
I'll help Everett find his helmet.
Catch up to us.
I lost a tooth down there one time.
I never got my money from the Tooth Fair Hey, uh, chin up.
Hop on my back, and we'll find it in no time.
- Whoa.
- Whoa.
How are we ever gonna find my helmet in here? Maybe it's the badger costume talking, but I think digging through junk will be fun.
Should I talk about No, everybody knows that.
Who would possibly let this stuff just slip away? Hey, wait up! Hey, Everett, maybe this could be your new knight helmet.
What do you think? Do I look like a knight? En garde! Hey, so, um did you ever notice that you and I are, like awkward together? Like today? And every other day? Yeah.
Why have you been bringing up your trivia all day long? I don't know.
I-I just Well, I've been trying to be smart like you, to break the ice, you know? But I think I've just been making it worse.
I did kind of notice that.
Whiz Kid Weekly isn't a thing, right? I just wanted us to become real friends, since we're universe-savin' teammates now.
Instead, I acted like a total goof and lost my helmet.
Hey, man, I like my friends because they're different than me.
I like Wren 'cause she acts tough and Reynold 'cause he's a worrywart.
And I like you when you act like yourself.
You're what my dentist says about flossing.
"You never get the job done unless you find a way to make it fun.
" Hey, look! Your helmet! Hey! What are you kids doing down here? This is my spot! Mine! That's what must've stopped the coaster.
I think Wren and Reynold chased after the wrong monster.
I'll distract it.
You get the helmet.
Got it! Over here, you dumb cephalopod! Stop touching my stuff! The boss man said it's all mine if I stopped the coaster.
I earned it! It's mine! Uh Uh Wait, you're not a Grubbin.
What's a Grubbin? Why are you wearing bags, kid? Are you supposed to be a bear or something? I-I wear these over my Lincoln Jr.
costume to keep it clean.
Y-You know, like a book cover in school.
That makes a lot of sense.
Oh, boy.
Monsters.
Got to go.
Nice to meet you, kid.
Bye, talking dinosaur and alien? Wh-Wh-Whoa! Yum! This old nougat bar is still good! Get back here! Stop moving! You never get the job done unless you find a way to make it fun.
Check me out, cephalo-dude! Look at all the cool stuff I got! My stuff! I think I'm gonna give this nougat coat to my mom for her birthday.
And, oh, I can definitely wear this nougat hat to the fashion show at the mall next week! And, look, a tooth! Huh, wonder if it's Reynold's.
That stuff is mine! Now, Luce! Huh? "B" "F" "F" s! What? Did you guys get into a monster trash fight? Yeah.
We had some fun.
Yeah.
Fun.
Oh! This is so much fun! Almost as fun as flossing! Let's see, got our chewing gum, - our brochure and - Come on.
Come on! Huh? Hold on.
I'm pretty sure I got everything, but I better check.
Ugh.
Wren, wait.
Guys, Auburn Con is the best.
Look at all the Abe Jr.
stuff.
There's a "build a Lincoln" booth with exclusive bobbleheads.
And the VR experience, you get to really feel like a hundred-foot Lincoln.
Guys.
Guys.
Look.
The ultimate Abe Jr.
costume contest.
"Winner gets a meet and greet with Roody Tootz.
" Wow.
Ain't no one getting in my way to Roody.
Not to be a downer, but don't you think they'll pick someone wearing the official Abe Jr.
costume? No way.
Roody himself is going to judge.
And when he sees the sweet chrome on my new Abe Jr.
Mark-Two, his eyes will explode, like, boom! Boom It's definitely more tinfoily than the old one.
Uh, try "chrome plated.
" It'll be indestructible when I power up.
But you're not gonna, right? Remember, we don't want to draw attention.
I know, I know.
But I wonder, will Roody want to put Chrome Jr.
in the movie? Isn't the movie already made? I win the contest, hang with Roody, become besties.
Then, one day he's like, "Hey, Wren, I read your fan fiction.
It's fresh.
" - Really? - Fresh Let's make a movie Roody, you're so stinkin' smart.
I know it.
"The Space-Smashing Adventures of Abe Lincoln Jr.
and Skippy"? Skippy looks just like Wren.
That's a pretty good self-portrait.
- Really nails your family nose.
- What? Hey, no peeking.
I didn't know you were suck a good artist.
Aw, I didn't know you were in love with Roody Tootz.
Zip it, underwear boy.
You supported my design choice.
Okay, Abe Juniors and Abe Junior ettes, time to grab your stovepipe hats and make your way to the stage for the Ultimate Abe Jr.
Costume Contest.
And now, neighbors and Abe-ers please welcome to the stage the star of the InterDimensional Mega Hero, and everyone's real-life hero, Roody Tootz.
It's him, it's him, it's him, it's him, it's him.
It's Tootz time.
Tootz! Hyah! Wow, dudes.
Look at all these official deluxe Abe Jr.
costumes.
You better wear them when you join me at my movie premiere or be The lamest kid alive.
Yeah! Well, look at this black sheep.
Yo, is that a handmade Abe Jr.
costume? Yep.
Complete with indestructible chrome plating and a jetpack add-on.
Jetpack? Spoiler alert.
There's no jetpack in the movie.
I know, but And what movie is that? InterDimensional Mega Hero.
Starring me, Roody Tootz.
Tootz! Hey, kid, what's your name? Uh, Felicia Jones.
Who? I mean, Abe Lincoln Jr.

Psych! Ha ha.
It's funny every time.
My name is Wren Carver, and I'm your online channel's number-one fan.
And while my add-ons aren't official, per se, they're way cooler than some store-bought lame-o Dude.
Heh.
Heh heh.
Anyway.
Kid, you did great.
I could definitely use your help wrapping up leftovers, 'cause it's tinfoil.
Am I right? This guy Now, if that jetpack worked, that'd be impressive.
Wouldn't it? - Don't power up.
Don't power up.
- No, no, no, no The jetpack is just for show.

Thanks to us, you didn't totally blow our cover.
