- Here you go, deary. - Catch ya later, Mrs. Croaker!
Oh, they'll never catch me!
Hey, Maddie! Happy market day!
Classic creepy Maddie.
- Uh, what are you doing? - Hiding.
Ever since Maddie and I got engaged, things between us have been awkward.
Dude, if you don't want to be engaged anymore, just go break it off.
Break up with her? To her face?
She'll kill me.
Look, breakups are no big deal.
I used to do it for my friends all the time.
They called me "The breakup queen".
Also "Angel of Death".
Perfect. You go break up with her for me, and I'll go find a new hiding spot.
Yeah. Spranne against the world!
- Whoo! - Whoa!
- Gracious me! - Oops. Sorry about that. Barry.
I didn't see you there, Barry.
Shucks, kids. Don't worry about it.
Nothing gets Barry down.
Candy magic.
Have a "Barry" good day.
Barry's here!
There goes Barry, sweetest frog in all of Wartwood.
Swell. And now to break up with Maddie for ya.
Or maybe breaking up by text would be better.
- By what? - By text.
It's not super cool, but, hey, everybody's done it at least once.
Now we're both cowards.
Whoa.
- Huh. That wasn't so bad. - See? Like I said, no problem.
Huh? Something ain't right here.
Anne? I can't see. Whoa.
Whoa. Anne? Whoa!
Anne, are you OK? Whoa.
Sprig. What happened to your face?
Whoa. What happened to your voice?
It's not just my voice, dude.
When I woke up, these things started growing out of me.
And whenever I try to talk, I just…
- What is going on? - Morning, kids.
Goodness gracious, boy! What's on your face?
I dunno. I just woke up like this.
- And me. - Anytime I try to talk I…
Have you guys seen my toothbrush?
Huh?
Yes!
Hmm. Woke up like this, you say?
You fixed it.
I've seen all I need to.
You two, have been cursed!
Cursed?
That's a thing here?
This land of ours is home to many arts, Anne.
Sculpture, mosaics, and, of course, the dark arts!
Cursed? But-But how? When?
Well, it takes about a night for a curse to kick in.
Either of you upset anyone yesterday?
Maddie.
Dude, you've got to go talk to her.
Any way you could wait till tomorrow?
Because I am loving this.
Hey, I think it's getting better.
Sprig, we have to go talk to Maddie.
Only she can reverse this.
You're right.
Or maybe we can try lifting this curse ourselves,
without any awkward conversations.
OK, but hurry.
I've got a really bad feeling about where this is headed.
Come on, come on.
A little bit of this…
Well, that didn't work either.
How you doing over there, Anne?
Anne, are you OK?
You know, it's actually not that bad. Watch this.
Ha.
Mmm!
I hate this curse. Huh?
I think I'm getting closer.
Sprig, enough is enough.
You are going to get Maddie to lift this curse and that's that.
Fine, fine.
But it's gonna be so awkward.
Got Mr. Plantar's bread order here.
She's here. Someone hide me.
Run! Objects bend to her will!
Nope. That's on me. Forgot to fix those hinges.
Oh… Hey, Maddie.
Sprig.
Stop stalling, dude.
Uh…
Maddie, I'm sorry for the way I broke up with you.
It was wrong of me to have Anne do it
and doubly wrong that we didn't do it face to face.
Your breakup literally hit me in the face.
But as much as I would've preferred an actual conversation,
I was fine with what you wrote.
- Oh, thank goodness. - Told ya. Breakup "qua-ween."
So can you take these curses off of us? Please?
Sorry, but I can't.
Curses can only be lifted by the caster, and this isn't my curse.
What?
But if it wasn't you, then who?
Hey!
This trail will lead us to the caster.
Quickly. Before it goes cold.
- You gonna fix this door? - Ha. Eventually.
Hup, hup!
Meh. It's worth a shot.
Why'd you think it was me who cursed you?
Well, you do give off a creepy vibe.
Just because I seem creepy to you doesn't mean I'm a bad person.
I'll have you know, I learned magic to help people, not hurt them.
Sheesh. Appearances aren't everything, Sprig.
Yeah, well that's…
That's a really good point.
Kurt the crow says this will all end in tears.
What kind of evil person would live in a place like this?
Hello, children.
Barry?
Enjoying the curse I put on you?
Why, Barry? Why?
Why? I'll tell you why.
Surely you remember barging into me at the market yesterday?
Spilling my entire stock of blue moon berries
that only grow once every ten years.
They were priceless.
I played it cool and was sweet because my image is half my business.
I may look nice,
but I'm petty and vengeful on the inside.
Yeah, that was our bad. Looks can be deceiving. We get it.
Ah, right, right. The lesson thing. Barry, we're sorry.
Please lift the curse.
You can't see it really, but I'm begging on my knees.
Hmm, let me think. Never!
Not only am I petty, but I'm very unforgiving.
As a curse wielder myself, this abuse of magic offends me.
Hmm? Oh, goodness.
You should never curse someone unless they really deserve it.
And, buddy, you deserve it.
Ah! Two can play at that game.
Ha!
Ah! My last curse.
- I'm out. - What do we do?
- Give me a hand. - You mean literally?
- Or figuratively? - Ow!
Ow. What the heck?
Gotcha!
- Oh, dear. - Ha!
And that's how you fix a door.
Good job.
Oh, no. My beautiful body.
- We're back to normal. - She turned the curses back on him.
- Maddie, you did it. - I can talk.
All right, you crazy kids bested me.
Now go on, turn me back.
Nothing doing. You're way too dangerous.
What? You can't just leave me like this.
Aw, come on, Maddie. We did him wrong.
Fine. I'll change him back.
But for a price.
Any chance we could get some of this candy?
No way.
Good-bye, Kurt.
I'm not sure if all this was a blessing or a curse.
It was literally a curse, Anne.
Thanks for helping us Maddie.
And sorry the engagement had to end like this.
Friends?
Friends.
- Whoa! - I can't wait to hang out.
Meh.
What, you got a better way to eat ants off the floor?
Sheesh.
Hey, there's an open spot.
I don't know, looks a little snug.
Nonsense.
Alright kids. Meet back here in fifteen minutes.
Bug Bath & Beyond, here I come.
Don't mind if I do.
Well, good mornin', Hopadiah.
Mornin', Wartilda. How are the kids?
Great. You know,
my daughter just got accepted to Newtopia University.
That's the big league right there.
Yep, she's got a bright future.
Good thing too. Ascots aren't as popular as they used to be.
Yeah, vegetables aren't doing so hot either.
People these days are all about fruit.
That's life, I suppose.
Um, maybe only four ascots this month, Wartilda.
Sure wish I could give Sprig and Polly a better future.
Huh?
Well, what's over there, more ascots?
Amphibia has got Talent is coming to Wartwood.
Wait, what is this nonsense?
We've got the same thing in my world.
It's a contest where regular people get on stage
and try to prove they're special.
That sounds potentially humiliating.
Yeah, you get it.
Yeah, I get it.
"Auditions are being held this weekend."
Hey. Could be fun to play my fiddle in front of a crowd.
Eh? Eh?
- I don't know, Sprig. - One thing's for sure.
Winning this kinda thing sets you up for a life of success and opportunity.
Opportunity, opportunity…
How's life, Polly?
Ding-dang delightful.
At last, I can rest
forever.
Wait there. This is the future why don't I have legs?
Why am I still here?
Hey. Can't you see I'm trying to pass on?
Hey, Hop Pop.
- Did Hop Pop just leave us? - Should we get help? I'll get help.
Hold on there, boy.
Let's give this talent show, nonsense a try.
It's a long shot, but with enough dedication and teamwork,
I'm sure we can make you a star.
Who's with me?
Anne, how'd you pay for all that junk?
I may or may not have mortgaged the house.
What?
The moth!
One of nature's most seductive animals.
- Cool. - All right.
Inspired by this majestic creature,
I've designed an act for Sprig
that will guarantee we take home first prize.
Anne. You're in charge of costume design and makeup.
I'm thinking cosmic, ethereal, interdimensional.
Very flattering.
- Polly. - Yes, Coach?
- You're Chief Morale Officer. - What?
That's not a real job. Why can't I be the star?
I've got talent too.
All right, let's see what you got.
Here's a little ditty.
I wrote by myself.
Like I said. Morale.
Fine.
And as for you, Sprig, you have the hardest job of all.
- Huh? - We'll be working on your act together.
From dusk till dawn. Rain or shine.
Till heck or high water.
Hop Pop, aren't…
Aren't we taking this all just a little too seriously?
Sprig, success takes work.
It takes dedication, sacrifice.
You don't wanna end up like that guy, do you?
No job. No prospects. No future.
Just look at him, Sprig.
- Hop Pop, that's a wor… - Let the hard work begin.
Come on, boy. Chug it.
Well, this is horrible.
Now to work on your stage faces.
Happy cute.
Sad cute.
Jealous cute.
I said jealous cute.
I don't know what that looks like.
Whoa!
Whoo-hoo!
Well, how was that?
- It was amazing, dude. - You're gonna slay, brother.
Yecch! You call that an act?
I counted three whole mistakes, Sprig. Three.
I mean, it doesn't have to be perfect, right?
It does, if you wanna win.
Now go give me 50 laps.
Hop Pop, this is crazy. I just want to have fun up there.
Fun? Can you eat fun?
Can you make a fun deposit into your fun savings?
Is fun a beautiful mansion with a front gate shaped like a giant fiddle?
What?
OK, OK. Fine, geez. Fine.
Welcome to Amphibia's Got Talent!
Hey, shoo! Go away, shoo!
Hoo-whee!
I'm thinking, launch him.
Yeah, way ahead of you.
Heh, heh.
All right, gang. This is ours to lose.
Sprig, you ready?
As ready as I'll ever be.
Then get out there and win, win, win!
All right, next up is "Sprig Plantar."
- Sprig? Ugh. - Performing "Flight of the Moth."
- Well, hello there. - I know. Right?
It's working. It's working.
Now, Anne, the final touch.
On it.
It's perfection, everything I could've hoped for.
Whoa!
Aah! Sprig!
- What do we do? - What can we do?
Anne, get to that judges' table and wait for my signal.
Pardon me, saving my friend. Love your hair by the way.
Hang on, Polly.
Now!
Polly, now's your time to shine.
Sing!
Ah! I got you. I got you.
I got…
Outstanding!
Grandson? Are you OK?
Oh, I shouldn't have forced you into this.
Because of me and this stupid act, you were almost digested.
Gah! All I wanted to do was to have… fun
and play my fiddle on stage.
Why'd you have to push me so hard?
Well, I just…
I ran into Wartilda, and she said…
And ascots are…
Vegetables are just not doing well anymore.
And heck, in a couple of years, I don't even know if the stand will be around.
I just wanted to give you a better life than the one I can give you now.
Hop Pop, my life is perfect the way it is.
And as long as you're in it, my future will be pretty cool too.
Oh…
Absolutely mesmerizing performances. I'm quaking with emotion.
And how did you ever train that bat?
- Or this thing for that matter? - Hey.
We hereby declare this family
the winning act of Wartwood's Got Talent.
You simply must come tour with us.
Yes. And share your vision with the rest of the valley.
Thanks. But we like things the way they are.
We don't gotta be stars.
We will keep the trophy though. It's gonna help us buy our house back.
There goes the weirdest family I've ever seen.
Absolutely, darling.
Well, Toadie,
I'd say that last act was pretty bad, wouldn't you?
Ooh.
