[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.
[awed]
This is syrup? Syrup is my favorite. [smacks a mosquitoast] Darn mosquitoasts!
Don’t worry, man baby. They, like all the other abominable food monsters, will soon be no more.
Wait, Flint! What if we’re making... a big mistake?
About shutting off the FLDSMDFR. Some of these creatures, they’re incredible!
Incredibly dangerous! We were just attacked by a giant Tacodile!
He’s right, Sam. I mean, we were almost eaten by a cheese spider.
It doesn’t mean we have to destroy all of them. Some of the food’s actually been... friendly.
It is true. The dessert creatures are especially sweet.
Okay. Maybe we– [Barb smacks him] Argh!
Mosquitoast! Was gonna bite you.
See? Even the tiniest creatures are attacking us.
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–
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.
[A mosquitoast landed on his nose and Barb flicks it out]
Ow!
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]
Flint, we should be studying the food animals, not killing them. What if he's wrong?
[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.
Sam, finding that FLDSMDFR and saving the world, that's what matters.
[shocked and hurt]
Really? Our opinion doesn't matter?
Of course, it does! Yes! Yes, it matters, but... just... just not right now.
[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]
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?
[sternly]
You bet I will. Hey, Sam, wait for me! [follows Sam]
Adios, sayonara. Goodbye, Señor Lockwood. [leaves]
[sadly]
Bye, Flint. [leaves as well]
Et tu, Steve? [his friends leave him on his own with Chester and Barb] What just happened? [picks up the drawing from the syrup]
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]
The BS-USB... reprogrammed it?!
It was never gonna turn off the machine. A BS-USB? Hello! Your machine is what I wanted all along.
Of course I lied to you. I knew you'd eventually fall for these pathetic creatures.
[heartbroken]
But… but you were my idol. My whole life, I looked up to you. I wanted to be you!
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]
Wait, wait, wait. No, no, please! [screaming]
Look, Flint. They came here to help, we all did. It's time to let us. [cut to a leaf of lettuce]
[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]
