Dr. Sam
Look, I understand your passion, I do. But you're failing my class, you're breaking your bones. This obsession with the glade is ruining your life. [opens the door to her office]
Mabel
[entering along with her]
But Dr. Sam, we're running out of time.
Dr. Sam
My dear, you won't be in college forever. You need a plan for the future.
Mabel
Well, what about the glade's future? The mayor's acting like the animals are gone, but I'm not buying it.
Dr. Sam
Mabel, the mayor is right.
Mabel
[confused]
What?
Dr. Sam
Those animals are gone. They left after the resident beaver moved out.
Mabel
B-But what does that mean?
Dr. Sam
[sighs deeply]
I know how hard it's been for you since your grandma passed. But, Mabel, you can't save that place. Only a beaver can.
Ellen
Why?
Mabel
W-Why what? Why would I save his life?
Ellen
Yeah.
Loaf
Yeah, why would you do that?
Mabel
Wait, what? But... she was gonna eat you!
Loaf
Well, yeah. She caught me. It's pond rules.
Ellen
Mm-hmm. Pond rules.
Mabel
Wait, I'm confused. How could you be cool with that?
Loaf
I mean, she's gotta eat someone. [to Ellen] So... um... you still wanna...?
Ellen
Nuh-uh. It's weird now.
Grandma Tanka
When I was 12, I punched Suzie Perkins in the face. I used to get really mad but not anymore. Wanna know my secret? You just have to be very still, and watch and listen.
Mabel
[after the metal tree with sound machines and the glade to rebuild]
Now what?
King George
Now... we party.
Mabel
Party? But we have work to do!
King George
We're beavers, Mabel. Work is the party!
Mabel
Titus! It's over!!
Titus
ARGH!!! It's just begun! I will squish every last one of you! The mammals! The birds!
Bird King
What?
Titus
The reptiles!
Reptile Queens
Huh?
Titus
The stupid amphibians!
Amphibian King
What?!
Titus
No one will ever eat us again! The world will be our hive!
Mayor Jerry
Mabel.
Mabel
[savagely]
Mayor Jerry.
Mayor Jerry
How's the arm?
Mabel
[holds up her arm with a cast]
Come find out.
Mayor Jerry
[They both get into an outrageous argument]
Mabel, I can't keep having this argument with you all the time.
Mabel
We don't have this argument all the time.
Mabel
[Flashback to their previous arguments; back to the present]
Seriously, Jerry, this is illegal. How are you just gonna blow up a pond full of animals?
Mayor Jerry
Because there are no animals!
Titus
Greetings!
Mabel and Jerry
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Titus
[chuckles evilly]
Hey, Mabel... Remember ME?
Mabel
Is.... is that....
Titus
[laughs evilly in flashback when he was a catapiller, Flashback ends as Titus laughs evilly]
It is! [laughs again] Oh, my voice has dropped. Everyone... I have pupated into a man!
Principal
[Young Mabel is in the principal's office after getting into trouble for trying to free the school pets] [in unison]
Mabel, what were you thinking?! How do you know the animals go to school?! This behavior needs to stop.
Teacher
[in unison]
We have rules for a reason! They apply to everyone including you! You're part of a big class, and that means you need to cooperate!
Mrs. Tanka
[As they continue heavily scolding her, she sadly looks out the window, watching the turtle being put back into its terrarium; Later, in a car…] [strictly while driving]
I know you love animals, Mabel, but you bit someone. You cannot bite people! That is not something I should have to say! [pulls up at Grandma Tanka's house, dropping her off] Mom, I got to get back to work. Can you take her for a few hours? Thanks.
Mabel Tanaka
[Mrs. Tanka: Mabel, are you sure you want to do this? You'll have more opportunities, sweetie, if you come with us.]
Mom, I'm not moving across the country. Grandma needs me.
Mabel Tanaka
Fellow animals, the humans has stolen their last inch of land from us! We gotta fight back!
Mabel Tanaka
Guys, this is like Avatar!
King George
I offer you my fragrant soothing oils to calm you. It's good.
King George
Oh, I am clear in the rest of the day. Let's hear it from Mabel, everyone.
King George
Rule number one: don't be a stranger.
