Earl
I'm glad you're still wearing that diaper!
Brent
I wish I brought a fresh one!
A line from Earl
Look. There's my angel son Cal's old preschool.
Scenes with Earl
8 scenes Brent
Brent
[squeezes into Flint's smaller clothes]
Thanks for lending me these skinny jeans, Flint.
Earl
Those aren't skinny jeans.
Manny
Nope.
Brent
My feet are turning purple. Is that bad?
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]
Brent
Okay, Steve. If me and you put our two brilliant minds together, we will get out of here.
Earl
Brent, do you ever get the feeling that maybe Steve Lockwood is just a monkey?
Brent
[covers Steve's ears]
Why would you say that about him, Earl? Why would you ever say that?!
Barb
Of course he's just a monkey. How stupid are you people? No one should ever put any trust in a monkey.
Sam
Chester thinks you're a monkey.
Barb
Well, I'm an ape. Chester knows that.
Sam
But he calls you a monkey.
Brent
Ohh…!
Manny
It is true, he does.
Barb
He's just joking around. Chester's my best friend.
Sam
If Chester was really your friend, would he still call you a monkey?
Earl
Flint Lockwood, you are a fisher man.
Steve
Happy!
Brent
[laughs]
Hey, look! Rainbows!
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!
Sam
I can’t believe Flint is still listening to that guy!
Manny
Flint is naive. It appears he is being manipulated for some nefarious purpose.
Sam
[frustrated]
Of course he is!
Earl
[quietly]
Sam, freeze!
Sam
What?
Earl
Stay calm and toward me slowly.
Brent
Very slowly.
Sam
[annoyed as the cheespider creeps up behind her]
Oh, come on. Now you're acting weird. I'm in no mood for this.
[The cheespider roars, and Sam turns around and screams in terror]
Brent
[After they encounter the cheespider...]
What's it doing?
Sam
I think she wants you to scratch her buns.
Brent
I like that, too. [scratches the cheespider's bun] Who's a good cheespider? She's cute!
Earl
But why did she attack us before?
Sam
'Cause we were dressed like them. [points up to the cheespider's cheese-web]
Brent
[confused]
She doesn't like backpacks?
Manny
No. It appears she doesn't like Live Corp. The food creatures know something we do not. [flips the Live Corp logo on his camera, revealing the word "Live" spelled backwards]
Brent
[Earl, Sam, Steve, and the cheespider all gasp in shock.]
Who's Evel?
Manny
Not "evel", evil.
Sam
I knew it! Chester's up to something terrible! We gotta warn Flint.
Earl
Let's ride!
