Epic Page #7

Synopsis: Young Mary Katherine (M.K.) returns to her eccentric scientist father's home, but his all-consuming quest to discover a tiny civilization in the neighboring forest drives them apart. However, M.K. soon finds herself shrunken down by Queen Tara of that forest who was mortally wounded by the putrefying Boggans, and charged to deliver a pod bearing the new Queen to safety. Together with a veteran Leafman warrior, two goofy mollusks and a young maverick, M.K. agrees to help. As the villainous Boggan leader, Mandrake closes in, M.K. and her new friends must draw on the best of themselves together and discover what they have to save their world.

All I want now,

is to find my daughter!

Dad, please!

Please, I need you.

(GASPS)

MK!

(SCREAMING)

Oh! (SIGHS IN RELIEF)

(GRUNTING)

I am so over Boggans.

Ah!

(GASPS)

Ozzy!

Dad!

Don't faint!

(SLOWLY) I won't!

How did you find me?

I got your message.

You were right.

About what?

About everything.

I'm sorry.

(NORMAL VOICE)

Me, too.

(SLOWLY) How did

you get so small?

Dad, it was amazing!

They're real!

(BATS SCREECHING)

And they need

your help.

Follow me!

(CAWING)

Missed me.

I wasn't

aiming for you.

(GASPS)

(SCREAMING)

(GROANING)

Ooh! This must be

the delivery room.

Whoa! Boy,

are you lost!

Down the hall...

make a left, and then

when you see the janitor

with a weird eye--

Shut up!

(GROANING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

My dark prince.

Come to Daddy.

I don't think

it likes you.

Ronin!

You know how many Boggans

I had to fight to get here?

Seriously,

I lost count.

Well, what's one more?

(GASPS)

It's all real!

It's really here!

Dad, the bats!

We have to get them

away from the moon.

(SLOWLY)

It's so beautiful.

There's no time!

But what

matters most is--

Not now!

(GRUNTS)

Oh!

(NORMAL VOICE)

Oh, you want me to play

the frequencies that...

(SLOWLY) attract the--

(GRUNTS)

(BAT SCREECHES

PLAYING LOUDLY)

(GROANS)

Run!

I'll find you, Dad!

I just have to

get back before--

Oh! Oh!

Ow, ow, ow!

They really do

go in your hair!

(GROANS)

(SCREAMS)

(GROANS)

(BATS SCREECHING)

MANDRAKE:
This time,

when I leave you

for dead...

you'll stay that way!

(GROANS)

What's that

little saying

you people have?

"Lots of leaves,

something-something"?

Very inspiring.

But in the end

every leaf falls

and dies alone.

No one is alone.

Not even him.

(YELLS)

(ALL GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(RAIN PATTERING)

(CROWD MURMURING)

(ALL GASPING)

Look after them

for me.

There's that smile.

(GASPS)

Your Majesty.

You look terrible.

Hey, did you see

how many times

I got hit?

I learned that

from you.

(CHUCKLES)

You're not

going to make me say

all the stuff...

I learned from

you now, are you?

Well, you'd have

learned a heck of a lot

more from your dad.

I was a pretty

poor substitute.

Don't beat yourself up.

Lately you've shown

some real promise.

Oh, please.

Just say

you love each other.

I thought

we just did.

Hey, you're still here.

Yeah.

I guess

I missed my chance.

I'm sorry.

But not

completely sorry.

Wow! Strong grip!

What's happening?

A queen brought you here.

How about a queen

sends you back?

(GRUNTING)

It's working!

We have to

say goodbye!

RONIN:
What for?

You're part of us.

Many leaves,

I always say.

I mean,

the Leafmen say.

Not that

I'm a Leafman.

Says who?

(GASPS)

MUB:
We'll find each other!

Just follow the slime!

I will, Mub.

You're really leaving.

Put your arms around me.

(EXHALES)

(GASPS)

I always hoped

if I, uh...

if I proved it

to her...

she'd, uh...

you know.

BOMBA:
Well,

what do you think?

It's perfect, Dad.

Except, the boots are

higher and the sleeves

are longer.

And they wear

actual helmets,

not acorns.

Really?

(CHUCKLES)

They should seriously

consider the potential.

(BARKING)

Ozzy!

Here you go, boy.

(GROWLING)

(GLASS SHATTERING)

(BEEPING)

Um...

(CHUCKLES) Go.

It's always for you,

anyway.

(VIDEO REWINDING)

Hey.

Hey!

How's work?

No, it's not work

when you love your job.

"Many leaves, one tree,"

that's what I always say.

Uh-huh.

What do you think

you're doing, Leafboy?

Leafman. You know

it's Leafman.

Is it?

I wasn't sure.

Hey, MK!

What's going on,

baby girl?

Hi, Mub.

We were talking.

There's a big sack of

"shut your flat face"

over there

by that tree.

Why don't you go

pick it up?

Listen, slick.

Guys, don't fight.

Oh, it won't be a fight.

I could whip him with

both eyes behind my back.

(LAUGHS)

I'd like to see

you try, jelly butt.

I didn't want to

have to do this!

(GASPS)

Ew!

Mub, get him

out of your mouth!

Dad, I gotta go

Heimlich my friend

out of a slug.

Yeah, that looks

pretty weird.

Here don't forget this.

(SLOWLY)

Tell them about

the acorn helmets.

Or you could

tell them yourself.

Oh!

(LAUGHING EXCITEDLY)

Come on, Ozzy!

(BARKING SLOWLY)

(BOTH LAUGHING)
