Forky Asks a Question (2019) s01e04 Episode Script

What Is Time

FORKY: What's going on? Where am I? Why is it like that? How high is that? Who's that? Why do you think? Is that air? Could that be better? Why are you talking to me? Why is a cloud? Who are you? (ANNOUNCER READING) I don't know! Hey, Forky here again, you're welcome.
I got another question for ya.
- What is time? - (CHUCKLES) To help me, there's someone - who knows a lot about that.
- (BELLS CHIME) Rex, the dinosaur! (BOOING LOUDLY) Why are you booing me? I don't know.
What is time? Well, Forky, let me explain it to you this way.
Now is now, stuff happens, then it's later.
Ho-ho, Slow down, Poindexter.
Time can be future or past.
For example, in the past, dinosaurs walked the Earth.
Back then, my kind was known as the King of the Dinosaurs.
Oh, I wish I could've seen that.
What'd they eat? Sauropods, Triceratops, you know, creatures from the Cretaceous period.
Wow! What'd they eat? Again, it was, Sauropods Did they eat with a spork? No.
Sporks weren't invented yet.
What? This is 65 million years ago.
Real dinosaurs ate with dagger-like teeth.
Of course, then the asteroid made them extinct.
Your hemorrhoid was a stink? No.
Asteroid.
Like a giant ball that bounces on the Earth and wreaks havoc.
Oh, like this.
- Bounce on the Earth, bounce on the Earth.
- (BALL SQUEAKING) - I don't believe you're grasping - (LAUGHING) - Watch out.
- the gravity of the asteroid collision.
Asteroids are fun.
(LAUGHS) Uh-oh.
(SIGHS) The asteroid always wins.
The whole thing is depressing.
(WOOD SCRAPING) This may be inappropriate, but what is time? Time is a way to be forgotten.
All the real dinosaurs are gone, except for the millions of birds which inhabit the planet.
Hmm.
You know what? The future and the past sound great, but I think I like the now.
I get to spend time with you.
That's so nice.
Thank you.
(GRUNTS) You know, Forky, there are other toy dinosaurs in this room right now.
I saw a particularly tasty-looking sauropod just over there.
Okay, that sounds awful, but I got a spork if you need one.
Yes! I think I do.
(ROARS) I am the terrible King of the Dinosaurs! - (ROARING) - Here comes the hemorrhoid! (BOTH IMITATING ROARING)
