[As Bonnie hides behind a tree, seeing the Jordan twins returning home…]
Psst. Dolly, what's going on?
D Dolly
[sighs]
Not sure. You know, at first I was mad Bonnie drew these glasses on me, but honestly, I can see so much better now.
D Dolly
Oh! Sorry. It's the Jordan twins. They're back home.
Buzz Poor thing. She's still afraid to ask them to play.
Not this time. [stealthily rolls towards the fence and pushes herself through the slots, then pulls the pull-string on her back; voice-box] Giddy-up there! Time's a-wastin'!
Jumpin' jelly beans! Will y'all just settle down? Now, I'm gonna have some words with this Lilypad and and let her know how things are run around here.
Buzz Try to stay calm, Jessie.
Buzz, you know me. I'm the definition of calm. [tosses Bullseye up to the bed in anger jumps on it to confront her]
Buzz Eh, it's not gonna work.
[Jessie approaches the tablet who was sleeping] [wakes up]
Hi!
[surprised]
What the...?!
Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you, sleep mode ya know? No? Ah, forget it. Was just gonna hop on the charger, battery could use a little refresh...
[Jessie sneaks into the closet and haves a conversation with Woody through walkie-talkies] [holding Dr. Nutcase after rescuing him]
Jessie, hey. What's going on?
N Dr. Nutcase
Curse technology!
N Dr. Nutcase
We're all just landfill now!
Woody, is it as bad out there for toys as they say it is?
N Dr. Nutcase
Beware the machines!
Yeah. Yeah, it's bad. We're finding more abandoned toys each day. Why? Are you guys okay?
Not really. Tech's invaded our house too.
Yeah, her name's Lilypad. Looks like a frog, but really, she's a leech, [through walkie-talkie] sucking up all of Bonnie's attention. Making her stare at her screen all day. There's got to be some way to stop it.
[stammering]
I don't know, Jessie. Uh… Toys are for play, but tech is… it's for everything.
[sighs]
You remember my first kid, Emily? The one I told you about who gave me away?
[through walkie-talkie]
Of course I do, yeah.
It feels like that all over again. [voice-over during a flashback] First we were playing… and then the world started changing. Emily changed and then… just like that… my time with her was over. [Fade back to the present] Now I'm losing Bonnie to this device. Is it me? Am I just no good at being a toy?
Jessie, you're a good toy.
Buzz [Bullseye wakes up and sees a red light through the closet, hearing voices] [rehearsing his proposal to Jessie through the mirror; inhales]
Okay. Jessie… [clears throat] No, Sheriff… Sheriff Jessie, I appreciate this promotion, but what I'd really like to promote… No, that is so stupid. [sees Bullseye approaching the closet through the reflection]
But she got Bonnie invited to a sleepover in seconds.
Jessie, you know Bonnie better than anyone. What does your gut say?
That it can't be that easy.
Bonnie won't click with just anyone.
She needs to actually meet these girls. She's not like most kids. Bonnie plays different. She… She needs to play.
You're right, Woody. Toys are for play. [through walkie-talkie] And play is how she'll find the right friend.
The age of toys may be over, but I'm gonna do something useful before I go. I'm going to that sleepover, and making a real friend for Bonnie!
Buzz Where's Jessie? Where's Bullseye?!
I'm a little busy helping Bonnie right now.
What on earth happened at that sleepover?!
Excuse me. What are you? Are you like some sort of old man toy?
She thinks you're old because you're bald, Woody.
[turns back to Lilypad, insulted]
Why, you little--
Buzz Where's Jessie?!
What happened to Bonnie?! She looks miserable!
Uh, the girls may have played hide-and-seek and, um, forgotten to find Bonnie.
D Dolly
[gasps in shock along with the other toys]
Poor Bonnie.
How could you let that happen?!
I didn't. You toys did this! These girls have been on The Pond for over a year, but Bonnie is behind because all of the time she's been playing with you! I need to bring her up to speed fast, starting with Turtle Tag. It's the quickest way for her to connect with the girls.
Buzz I'm only gonna ask one more time, frog! Where is Jessie?!
Not my problem. I'm very busy.
[attempting to climb up the nightstand; reaching his breaking point]
That's it. We'll make her talk.
Buzz I'll do it, Woody!
[Woody and Buzz hide under Bonnie's bed while she's playing with Lilypad] [comforting Buzz as he gazes at Bonnie's suitcase, feeling worried about Jessie]
Don't worry, Buzz. We're gonna find her. I promise.
Buzz [sighs]
Woody, I know it's just a pretend ceremony, and Bonnie usually decides these things, but... Well, if it were up to me, you'd be my best man.
[gasps in surprise]
Buzz, I... I'd be honored.
Buzz [sighs deeply]
But Jessie will never speak to me again now that I've let Lily take charge of the room.
[getting an idea]
Wait a minute. Take charge.
Buzz I tried to.
No, no, no. Buzz, that's it!
Buzz What is?
[sneaks over to the nightstand and unplugs the cord for Lilypad's charging dock from the outlet]
Tomorrow morning, everyone will wake up fully recharged... except Lilypad.
Buzz And then we'll make Lily tell us where's Jessie.
[As Bonnie and her mother get in the car before driving over to Blaze's house to get Jessie and Bullseye…]
All right, Buzz, you've got to stay here. I'm going with them.
Buzz Why? Why just you?
Look, I just have more field experience than you that is all.
Buzz You don't think I can do it.
No, I just think I can do it a little bit… [short pause] better.
Buzz [gasps]
You don't deserve this. [rips the other star sticker off Woody's vest and puts it on his chest]
Buzz, come on. I was only--
Buzz Jessie put me in charge.
Which is why you should stay here and watch the room.
Buzz There is no room without Jessie. [runs over to the back of the car]
Buzz, no! [groans and hurries after him and they both hop onto the rear bumper]
Buzz [glaring annoyingly at Woody until his poncho gets in his face]
Nice poncho. [looks away, scoffing]
PH Mr. Potato Head
[as the garage door closes]
It's good to see them fighting again.
S Slinky
[agreeing]
It sure is.
[reading the message from Lilypad]
"Jessie, I'm so sorry. Chose wrong friends. Hurt Bonnie."
Buzz Bonnie.
Smarty, send a reply. "You can fix it."
[The reply is sent and another message appears] [reading]
"No, I can't. Threw myself away. On donation truck."
What?! Jumpin' Jehoshaphat! Now she throws herself away?! [groans] We're going after her!
Buzz What?
Smarty, tell Lily to send a photo of where she is.
Snappy, zoom in on that blurry road sign.
Well, look at you with that tech talk, cowgirl.
Atlas, can you get us to that truck?
A Atlas
Already mapped it, cowboy lady.
Tell Lily to keep sending photos of where she is. We're getting her back!
Buzz Now, this is flying.
Yee-haw! So, we're clear on the plan? Once you're at Bonnie's, you send the message, Blaze brings me and Bullseye to the house, and this time, they connect!
Jessie, wait. What if Bonnie rejects you again?
If they become friends, it's all worth it.
Buzz Huh? Wait. Jessie, wait!
Buzz [frantically]
Just listen to me! I… I've been trying to ask you this, and if… if I don't do it now, I never will. [Jessie sees a truck approaching from the tunnel; struggling] Will you… Buzz, you can do this. Will… Will…
[grabs his hand, and kisses him; Lilypad plays fireworks on her screen]
You're stuck with me, deputy.
