Flint
When we land at Swallow Falls, our first objective is to get to my lab. I can use my old computer to pinpoint the FLDSMDFR's location. Once we find it, we can shut it down with the utterly irreplaceable BS-USB. (Brent: What if you don't find it?) I have to. It's my machine. If the world gets destroyed by these, it's my fault. [holds up a drawing of a cheespider] I can't let that happen.
Flint
[upon seeing the food animals]
Wow, I can't believe the FLDSMDFR created all of this.
Flint
My computer's dead! (Chester V: The fate of the world is depending on us! Think, Lockwood.)
Flint
Everything I touch just gets ruined.
Flint
Dad, let's go fishing.

[Sam is holding a big strawberry in her hands]
Sam! Don't touch it! Put it down! Put it DOWN.
Sam
Look at him.
Flint
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Sam
Seriously? Aww. I think I'll name him... Barry!
Flint
[Flint and his friends are walking in the Breakfast Bog, getting close to the FLDSMDFR.]
Almost there. The FLDSMDFR should be across this syrup bog.
Brent
[awed]
This is syrup? Syrup is my favorite. [smacks a mosquitoast] Darn mosquitoasts!
Chester
Don’t worry, man baby. They, like all the other abominable food monsters, will soon be no more.
Sam
Wait, Flint! What if we’re making... a big mistake?
Flint
Mistake?
Sam
About shutting off the FLDSMDFR. Some of these creatures, they’re incredible!
Chester
Incredibly dangerous! We were just attacked by a giant Tacodile!
Flint
He’s right, Sam. I mean, we were almost eaten by a cheese spider.
Sam
It doesn’t mean we have to destroy all of them. Some of the food’s actually been... friendly.
Manny
It is true. The dessert creatures are especially sweet.
Flint
Okay. Maybe we– [Barb smacks him] Argh!
Barb
Mosquitoast! Was gonna bite you.
Chester
See? Even the tiniest creatures are attacking us.
Sam
The only reason they're biting is because of the drop of barometric pressure. Bugs do that before a storm. [refers to the storm clouds] And by the look of those nimbostratus clouds–
Chester
Miss Sparks, we are not talking about the weather. [hits Flint in the tracking helmet] We are talking about food here. Dangerous food that does not have human emotion.
Flint
[A mosquitoast landed on his nose and Barb flicks it out]
Ow!
Chester
Food that are not friendly! [slaps Flint in the face and holds his helmet] FOOD THAT CANNOT LOVE!! [slaps Flint again and pinched his lips]
Sam
Flint, we should be studying the food animals, not killing them. What if he's wrong?
Chester
[beat] [to Flint]
The choice is yours, son - live up to your full potential or walk away and let the food monsters destroy Lady Liberty.
Flint
Sam, finding that FLDSMDFR and saving the world, that's what matters.
Sam
[shocked and hurt]
Really? Our opinion doesn't matter?
Flint
Of course, it does! Yes! Yes, it matters, but... just... just not right now.
Brent
Uh, oh!
Earl
Wrong answer!
Steve
Toast!
Sam
[angry]
Yeah!? [takes the drawn vest sticky note off the drawing of Sparkswood] Well, I guess this doesn't matter, either, young Lockwood. [pinned the sticky note on Flint’s shirt] I’ll just... see you back on the boat. [drops the drawing on the syrup and storms off... well, sort of]
Flint
Wait, Sam! Wait, please! No! No. Sam, come back! Come back, Sam, no! No, Sam, Sam, Sam! Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam…!! [to Earl] Hey, Earl, would you talk to her?
Earl
[sternly]
You bet I will. Hey, Sam, wait for me! [follows Sam]
Manny
Adios, sayonara. Goodbye, Señor Lockwood. [leaves]
Brent
[sadly]
Bye, Flint. [leaves as well]
Steve
Steve! [hops onto Manny]
Flint
Et tu, Steve? [his friends leave him on his own with Chester and Barb] What just happened? [picks up the drawing from the syrup]
Chester
You've made the right choice, son. [to his sentinels] Sentinels, keep them... safe. [grins as he walks off with Flint and Barb while the sentinels march after the gang]
Flint
The BS-USB... reprogrammed it?!
Chester
It was never gonna turn off the machine. A BS-USB? Hello! Your machine is what I wanted all along.
Flint
You... lied to me.
Chester
Of course I lied to you. I knew you'd eventually fall for these pathetic creatures.
Flint
[heartbroken]
But… but you were my idol. My whole life, I looked up to you. I wanted to be you!
Chester
Oh, Lockwood, I was just using you to get your invention. We're ready. Launch Operation Slice and Dice. [chuckling evilly as the helicopter takes the FLDSMDFR away and the plant wilted. The marshmallows look terrified] And now that I've got what I want, I no longer need you. I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go. [pushes Flint]
Flint
Wait, wait, wait. No, no, please! [screaming]
Tim
Look, Flint. They came here to help, we all did. It's time to let us. [cut to a leaf of lettuce]
Flint
[gives a speech to the foodimals]
Okay, I don't know if you can understand me. [Meanwhile, Barry comes up to the foodimals, too. He starts to copy Flint's speech] I know you think I'm N-woo. But the truth is I'm no N-woo, I'm just a man. A man who's made a lot of mistakes in the last couple of days. And now my friends are in a lot of trouble, thanks to me. Someone once told me that I didn't need friends. That I could accomplish more by myself. I know now more than ever that he was wrong. We need all the friends we can get. And I need your help. All of you. Fruits, vegetables, and meat! I need you to help me to get into that factory, save our friends, and get our home back!
[The foodimals start cheering]
Sam
[Flint, his friends, and all the foodimals circle around Chester, trapping him]
It's over, Chester.
Steve
Mustache.
Flint
Now hand over the FLDSMDFR.
Chester
NO! Never!
Flint
Chester, there's nowhere to go!
Chester
That's what you think. [to Barb] Save me, monkey!
Barb
I'M AN APE!! [snatches Flint's FLDSMDFR out of Chester's hand]
Flintly McCallahan
[running up onto the stage, taking off his lab coat]
This is the greatest day of my life! [puts on his thinkquanaut vest] Didgeridoo, I'm finally a real inventor!
Flint
[sits back down in his seat, upset that he didn't win]
Sorry, Steve. No reason to celebrate.
Steve
CELEBRATE!
Flint
Wait, Steve, no, no, no! [Steve presses the button of the Celebrationator; panicked] NO!
Flint
What is that thing?
Steve
Cheesy.
Chester
It appears to be a living cheeseburger with french fry legs and sesame seed eyes.
Flint
Living food? Oh, no. This could only mean one thing. The FLDSMDFR survived the explosion, and it's still operating!
Chester
This is what worries me most. They're trying to learn to swim. [Flint spits out his coffee] If they succeed and get to the mainland, they will destroy monuments all around the world, including the one monument your food storm didn't destroy.
Flint
Not Lady Liberty!
Flint
[Flint and his friends arrive at Swallow Falls, looking around, seeing that's been turned into a tropical jungle.]
Look what's happened to our town.
Earl
Look! There's my angel son, Cal's old preschool.
Manny
[gasps]
My old van.
Brent
[gasps and points at something]
Look! That old thing that I've never seen before!
Flint
[They see the Live Corp bunker, damaged and covered in a cheesy spiderweb.]
That's where the Thinkquanauts were attacked by a cheespider.
Brent
It's like a cheesy spider web, made of cheese!
