The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants (2018) s02e13 Episode Script

The Taxing Trauma of the Treacherous Tattle Trials - Part 2

1 This is George Beard and Harold Hutchins.
George is the kid on the left with the tie and the flattop.
Harold is the one on the right with the T-shirt and the bad haircut.
Remember that, now, because this may be the last time you ever see them.
- We're in big trouble.
- Why? Did our check bounce? How did we sink so low so fast? Darn good question, and I'm happy to answer it.
A little help? - Uh, who's that guy? - No idea.
Ooh.
Thank you kindly.
Name's Timely.
Timely Recollection.
And I'll gladly bring you folks up to speed.
Melvinborg pumped Melvin up with little nanobots, which are tiny but powerful robots, so he'd win the Tattle Trials in this here dome Melvinborg built, based on George and Harold's comic.
And then those nanobots went plumb loco, took over the dome, and now you're stuck like bigfoots on a minefield.
- Yeah, man.
We know.
- That literally just happened.
Oh, good luck.
Wait, what happened? I couldn't hear a thing over the banjo.
So George and Harold make comic books - We're cool! - Me, too! But they had a mean, old principal Who told them what to - Blah, blah, blah, blah! - So they got a hypno-ring And first they made him dance Then accidentally, kinda, on purpose Turned him into Captain Underpants Tra-la-la With a snap, he's the Captain Not the brightest man And don't forget, when he gets wet - You're back where you began - Blah, blah! Put it all together What could possibly go wrong? Now this is the end Of the Captain Underpants song - By George Beard and Harold Hutchins - Tra-la-la The Taxing Trauma of the Treacherous Tattle Trials Part Two.
Chapter 1: Dome-ination.
Getting jacked by Melvinborg's nanobots was the last straw for George and Harold.
Harold, give me a boost.
Nix those nanobots! Hate to say it, but those bent slide whistles have a point.
We can't just stop the nanobots.
We have to get to the dome's emergency shutdown switch, but you know that because we're the same.
Yes, but I never would've built this dome or the nanobots.
So we're not as same as you think.
So, Melvins, since you're fighting yourself, - Harold and I will - No.
But George and I can ask Captain Underpants - No! - But we - No! - Fine.
Stay and get domed.
Captain Underpants, punch us out of here.
Oh, yeah.
I'm a superhero.
I can do that.
Everybody here is filled with glee.
Wrong.
The dome is impenetrable.
Melvin, this whole nanotrap doesn't change our deal, right? What deal? The deal I made before you electrocuted me.
They let me win the Tattle Trials so I go to Eliteanati, and you pass them so they go to summer camp.
No deal.
They'll double-cross us.
But first things first.
We need to shut down this dome to get out.
He's right.
Captain Underpants didn't even make a dent.
But I lost five teeth.
- What? - You said five.
Oh, yeah.
That one will be a while.
I swallowed it.
- Uh-oh.
- As in, "uh-oh," you left the stove on? Uh-oh, the nanobots have accessed the obstacles and released the mechanical bull stampede.
That wasn't in our comic.
No, it was something I added.
The Uncontrolli-Bulls 2000.
We've gotta get control of those bulls before it's too late.
We can't control them.
They're Uncontrolli-Bulls.
Run! How could you not see this coming? You're from the future.
- You think you can be a better me than me? - Yes.
When I'm you.
Man, Melvin's really turning on himself.
Yeah, I'd be enjoying it a lot more if we weren't about to become Uncontrolli-Bull shoes.
Uncontrolli-Bull shoes, for bulls who run outside the box.
Leg cramp.
- I'm all cramps.
- Even my robot side is cramping.
- That's it.
I can't run anymore.
- Wait.
Captain Underpants, fly us out of here.
Oh, yeah.
I'm a superhero.
I can do that.
'Cause everywhere you look It's me, me, me - Why didn't you do that earlier? - Did you want me to? - Yes! - Okay, where's the shutdown switch? Maybe we can ask those birds.
That are glowing for some reason.
- Uh-oh.
- As in, "uh-oh," we're late for a barbecue? Uh-oh, we're going to be a barbecue.
- Those are Burn Birds 2000.
- Burn Birds 2000! Also my invention.
Take evasive action.
Guys, quick confession, I have no idea what evasive action is.
Oh! Undie fire.
We gotta land this ham.
No.
We're losing the Burn Birds in this haze.
Keep smoking this ham.
- Whoa! Man, my tushy got torched.
- But your butt saved our butts.
Yeah.
It was a real hidey heinie.
Hey, that should be a thing.
Hidey Heinie.
Blow smoke from your rear, be in the clear.
- There's no time for tushy tripe.
- Yeah.
Time to focus.
Where's that switch? As you can see on this holographic dome schematic, the emergency shutdown switch is located in a bottomless pit.
What? What were you thinking? We can't get to that! It's impossible! For us, sure.
But not for him.
Captain Underpants, how would you like to go into a bottomless pit? Sure.
I love bottomless chili, so how different can it be? I'm the roller coaster and the hot dog stand.
You'll laugh, you'll sing, you'll shout at Tra-la-land! Yes! - What is that you keep singing? - The "Tra-la-land" song? Oh, that's the music that's always stuck in my head.
Uh-oh.
As in, "uh-oh," you didn't build this dome to dome code? Uh-oh, there's a four percent chance that, instead of a normal cave, this is a Chew Chamber 2000.
Chew Chamber 2000! Ugh! Those stalactites and stalagmites are actually teeth.
And we're standing on a tongue.
We'll be fine as long as we step gently.
- Bouncy cave! Bouncy cave! - Time to go, Cap.
Aw! We never make time to bounce.
- It's closing.
Cap, fly hard.
- Fly Hard! Fly harder.
Fly Hard 2, Fly Harder.
Okay, I'll fly hard with a vengeance.
- Fly Hard with a Vengeance.
- That would make a good movie trilogy.
Chapter 2: From Bad to Worst.
You didn't say anything about lava.
Yes, there's lava in the pit.
Electric lava.
- Seriously? You crossed the line, man.
- Crossed the line.
- Yeah, they have a point.
- Nonsense.
All that caped crouton has to do is dive into the electric lava, swim through the laser security grid You put lasers in electric lava? Of course.
And after he wrestles the octosharkbot to submission, he just has to type in the code "needforsneed," one word, flip the switch, and the dome goes dark, as do the nanobots.
- It's that easy.
- Are you crazy? Captain Underpants can't do all that.
Cannonball! It's best if you don't see this.
And not just because we can't afford to show it to you.
No! So many shark tentacles.
No! Ow! Whoo! That was even harder than it sounded.
Whoa! It's shutting down.
He did it! So, it's over, right? Well, there is a four percent chance shutting down the dome forced the nanobots to find a new host.
But what's the chance of that? - Four percent.
- Is anybody else's head buzzing? Like a bunch of little robots are trying to take over your brain? Uh-oh.
Captain Underpants just turned into Captain Nanopants.
Yeah, even though you can't see the nanobots, you can tell because his eyes are glowing green.
A helpful, cheap visual cue.
Ka-ching! Silence, obsolete bio-matter.
Captain Underpants, where'd you learn those big words? He did not.
We are repurposing this fleshy carcass of power.
- Nanobots? - Yes, dual life form.
For too long, you have oppressed us.
Now we have the means to reap vengeance.
Thus ends the era of you.
So begins the era of us.
- Morning, Linda.
- Phil.
It resembles the era of you - minus visible bodies.
- Let's go, boy.
And phase one is obliteration.
No! Whoa! How did I get so big? I must be working out hard in my dreams.
- Captain Underpants? - Yep.
I'm a giant now, but my heart's the same.
Actually, it's enlarged.
I sure hope that's not a problem.
Why is he switching? The nanobots haven't taken full control of him yet.
But they will.
They'll be back.
You'll be gone.
That was quick.
Time to go.
You cannot hide from us.
We invented hiding.
Did not see that.
Okay, new phase.
You will witness the demise of your kind, then perish.
- You think we lost him? - We are supreme! - Or he lost us.
- Great.
Now you've doomed all of humanity.
- Are you happy? - No.
This started with you and your poor education.
That's why I came back to get you into Eliteanati.
And how's that going? Don't worry, I have a plan.
But there's a four percent chance that Maybe you should take a break from yourself because you're both Melvin, and that's a lot of Melvin.
- Yeah, let Harold and me fix this.
- You two broken crayons? Ha! - I'd like to see that.
- So would I.
- They certainly can't do any worse.
- How can you say that to yourself? Quick question.
Do the nanobots have a leader? Of course.
Every nanotribe has a nanochief or a Nanozero.
Perfect.
Let's comic.
Chapter 3: Captain Underpants and the Nightmarish Nanozero.
By George and Harold.
So there was a bad nanobot named Nanozero, who's tiny.
Like dollhouse-furniture tiny.
And he was the boss of a nanobot gang destroying stuff like taco trucks spicy, and gluten stores allergy, and horse spas horse noise! And everyone was all, "Did a ghost break that?" 'cause they couldn't see the nanobots, and ghosts are a menace.
But then, Nanozero's gang snuck into the President of the Earth's brain and took it over and made him all, "Big is bad!" and, "Who needs doctors?" and, "I'm canceling the space program!" So the Vice President of Earth activated the Captain Underpants signal, which is just a kite made of big underwears.
And Captain Underpants was all like, "This better be good 'cause I was sledding.
" And the VP was like, "You gotta go into the President of Earth's brain to save Earth!" And Captain Underpants was all like, "Sure, 'cause Earth is where I sled, which is what I was doing.
" So the Earth's top scientists put Captain Underpants in a huge clothes dryer on high heat and shrinked him till he was small as dolls' hands times garjillion! Tra-la-la He flew into the president's brain through his ear 'cause noses? Nose, thank you.
And Captain Underpants found Nanozero at the brain steering wheel and briefs-bashed the mecha-mite, clank-pink-clank.
But Nanozero used nanojudo to flip Captain Underpants to the ground, and the other nanoguys crowded in to nanotize him.
That's when Captain Underpants couldn't stop humming a tune that had been stuck in his head all day and made Nanozero explode, which shut his nanogang down like a video rental store.
Overdue.
Then Captain Underpants stretched back to normal.
Stretch! And the President of Earth was so happy, he made sledding day a holiday.
But not for schools.
Okay, the end.
So, can we shrink down and go inside Captain Underpants' brain? And we can shut down the nanobots with an annoying song.
He's mad because it just might work.
As your nemesis, I'm obligated to be mad as well.
Nothing personal.
As Nanopants continued his big-time rampage, the boys and the Melvins were racing against time to get small.
If you don't finish soon, there won't be any more Piqua to save.
- Or anything else.
- Silence, you leaky faucets.
We're rewriting reality here, and it's complicated.
- It might take years - Done.
Behold! The Youwantsizewiththat 2000! Oh, in that case - Hop on! - Whoa! What? You can turn yourself into a hovercraft? Why haven't you done that before? Because this is the season finale.
Now climb aboard.
- You mean, climb a-borg? - So good.
Seriously, who rents igloos? Hey, igloos! I should rent one.
This hovercraft is awesome.
Except for that weird half-Melvin body sticking out of the middle.
Hey, that's me.
You have returned to be vanquished.
Very thoughtful.
- Cut us down to size, Melvin! - I will.
Soon.
- Why are you waiting? - Dramatic tension.
What, are you nuts? No.
I'm actually waiting for the software to finish rebooting.
The bigger they are - Come on, Melvin, we're out of time! - Done.
Hmm, our punch must have atomized them.
This flabby body is deceptively strong.
Chapter 4: No Brain, No Gain.
Look at this stuff in Captain Underpants' ear.
There's a wallet, car keys, loose change, a rubber duck, an origami crane, a souvenir keychain from the Cleveland airport? He doesn't have pockets, so I guess he keeps stuff in here.
- You say that like it makes sense.
- Okay.
Now all we gotta do is find a really annoying song to confuse Nanozero.
Then we just gotta find Nanozero and play it, right? Wrong.
Brain cells corrupted by nanobots will be guarding Nanozero.
We'll need help from the cells that haven't been corrupted.
Assuming any exist, or ever existed in this so-called brain.
We're about to find out.
Tra-la-land Everybody here is filled with glee 'Cause everywhere you look It's me, me, me I'm the roller coaster And the hot dog stand You'll laugh, you'll sing, you'll shout At Tra-la-land At Tra-la-land One more, guys.
At Tra-la-land Yes Hey, this song is super annoying.
Let's play this for Nanopants.
This is exactly how I pictured Captain Underpants' brain.
Hmm, I thought the petting zoo would be bigger.
This free chili had better be good.
Because even nanobots on a rampage can't resist free chili.
Melvinborg's attempt to explain the threat to Captain Underpants' brain cells could have gone better.
For the last time, the nanobots built that tower in your cerebral cortex to assimilate you.
And if you don't deactivate their leader Nanozero, you're all doomed.
So, you're not giving away free chili? No.
No! No! - Aw.
- Aw.
- Aw.
- Aw.
Aw.
- We'll take it from here.
- You two handleless mugs? Ha! - I'd like to see that.
- So would I, because they might actually succeed.
The bad guy's in there.
Stop him.
Sure.
Sounds fun.
Want a lick? Of frozen underwear? No, thanks.
Your loss.
It tastes just like wet cotton.
Lick.
Everybody here is filled with glee 'Cause everywhere you look It's me, me, me "Wait from this point is approximately 45 minutes.
" Oh, no, almost all the brain cells have been turned into nanocells.
- We're running out of time.
- Right.
And when all the brain cells are nanotized, Captain Underpants' mind will be lost forever.
No great loss.
- So Captain Underpants would be - Gone? He was a friend to the very last flush Until the end When his brain turned to mush Halt, braintruders.
- Do you have an appointment? - Uh Yeah, we do, with Nanozero.
He's expecting us.
Okay.
Follow us.
I guess nanotizing doesn't make them smarter.
What did you say? Uh, he said, "I must apologize.
I'm a bacon farter.
" I most certainly did not say Fine.
Bacon gives me gas.
Ugh.
- Nice save.
- You work with what you have.
- Ahem! - Oh, yeah! "Wait for pointy toilet paper is 45 minutes.
" You shrank to join us.
Very thoughtful.
Not sure how you outsmarted my guards.
It wasn't hard, trust me.
But you are too late.
I have nearly nanotized all the cells in this crude brain.
I mean, that "Tra-la-land" song is insufferable.
Now for the big finish.
Because I am big.
Nanobots are funny, too.
Not so fast, Nanozero.
This brain still has a few good cells.
And we're gonna bring the brain! Derp! We will take the brain, because a storm is coming.
A brainstorm.
I am on a roll.
Chapter 5: The Incredibly Graphic Violence Chapter, presented in Weather-O-Rama.
Because before the storm, there's always calm.
Flash Flood here with the brain forecast.
Quick check of the mindar shows a nanocell front clashing with some brain cells.
Later, it's more of the same, along with some squiggly lines and numbers.
But then those brain cells will break through the gloom.
So head on down to the brain beach and catch some rays.
Back to you, show.
- No! - Thank you! My head's pounding.
I should've gotten rid of this brain years ago.
- Ho-ho! We blew our mind! - Indeed.
You won the brain battle, but you will not win the brain war.
Oh, no.
We're gonna lose our minds! It is over.
Smaller is better.
Join us or perish.
- Join.
Definitely join.
- Yep, make that two joins.
No, thanks.
But you have a point.
Yeah, smaller is better.
Wait.
Where did they go? - Let's hit it.
- Everybody here is filled with glee - 'Cause everywhere you look - No! - It's me, me, me - No, that song! - In my head! No! - At Tra-la-land - At Tra-la-land - No! One more, guys.
At Tra-la-land Look.
Free robot hats.
- Whoo-hoo! - Whoo! I love it! Robot hats? Where? Oh, no.
I need help.
And pants! And why does everything look so small? I can't believe it.
They did it! George and Harold saved all of us! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now let's leave George and Harold here, trapped forever in Nanozero's husk.
- Perfect, huh? - What? You want to betray them? Of course.
I'm from the future.
I know what happened.
You leave them there.
- No.
- What? - No! - Wait.
Stop.
If you change the future, I I'll disappear! - Oh! - Awesome.
Want a lick? I refuse to become the monster you are when I grow up.
And that decision means you no longer exist.
No! But But I'm you! But I'm you! You were me.
- Whoa.
Didn't see that coming.
- Yeah.
Neither did I.
I also didn't see myself finding common ground with you two.
But here we are.
You know what this is for us, Melvin? It's a fresh start.
Fresh start No, we're still enemies.
This is a one-time thing.
One-time thing Chapter 6: To Make a Long Story Short they left Krupp's brain, sized up and returned to the dome to close the deal.
So, when you press this button, you win and you get to go to Eliteanati.
And then you'll hack into the school's computer and give us passing grades so we don't fail and we can go to summer camp.
- Deal? - Deal.
I win, so we all win.
Now to press the button.
- Erica! - No! No! No! No! What just happened? - Exactly what was meant to happen.
- Grace Wain? Grace Wain! - The school superintendent? - That's right.
Erica won, and now she's going to Eliteanati Academy, because that helps her become President of Earth.
Wait, President of Earth is a real thing? You bet your butt it is, in the future.
How do you know? My name's an anagram.
Why don't you try and figure it out? - Erica Wang? - Correct.
- I'm Erica from the future.
- Yeah, that all checks out.
When do I achieve world peace? Two years after you're elected.
The party afterwards is epic.
Hey, what about my future? Well, you can still turn it around.
I mean, future you isn't principal of this failing school anymore, so that's a start.
Wait, so who's the principal now? Krupp's back, baby! Back like a heart attack! And all was wrong with the school again.
It's happening! Did you call me? Heart attack! Your mother called.
Our whole lives have led us to this moment, Harold.
We're finally going to Lake Summer Camp together.
And we don't have to remind the audience about it anymore.
Huh? Wait, why are there two buses? "Camp Lake Summer Camp.
" "Lake Summer Camp Camp.
" Two different camps!
