D In Hora Prandii Est Newtopia! d.
Enjoy, everyone!
This place makes the best beetle burgers in all of Newtopia.
- What's that? - Oh, just my journal.
I like jotting down theories and observations.
You know, all about indigenous fauna, medicinal techniques,
political nuances of amphibious species-based caste systems.
Sometimes I do drawings.
It looks just like me.
Wow! Anne, have you been keeping a journal, too?
Look, guys. I'm a straw-lrus.
Like a walrus but with straws.
- What's a walrus? - Now, who should I give the bill to?
Probably not you.
Oh, I'll take it!
It's, oh, let me guess… 28 coppers?
Right you are.
Ooh!
Wow. Can you do math like that, too, Anne?
Uh, like, with numbers and stuff?
Can you imagine if Marcy got stuck with us instead of Anne?
We'd be set for life!
Hush, Polly. Think those thoughts, don't say them.
Oh, yeah? Well… Look out!
Someone's trying to kill us!
No, no. It's fine. It's just a message from the king.
Oh, correction.
- It's a puzzle gram from the king. - What?
He's hidden clues around the city, and when I collect them all,
I get a message. It's so fun!
Okay, this first symbol is a tree, so we should head towards Coral Park.
Now come on, team.
It's puzzle time!
A puzzle tour of Newtopia?
Count me in!
Yeah!
Come on, Polly. This may be our most exciting adventure yet.
Hey, thanks for coming in.
Would you like to join our loyalty program?
- You can get free gifts. - Gifts?
- Free? - Oh, no.
Wow! Whoa.
Look at that!
Anne, you're not marveling. Is everything okay?
Well, I don't know. It's just…
Marcy's always been the smart one in our group.
- I've always felt kind of dumb around her. - What?
- She'll hear you. - Sorry.
Well, hey, maybe if you can solve the king's puzzle gram before Marcy,
- it'll prove you're as smart as she is. - Hmm.
Well, I did get us out of that puzzle dungeon that one time.
Yeah, you did!
Mission "Prove I'm not a dumdum," engage!
Here it is, guys. Coral Park.
Whoa.
Okay, you can do this.
So, one eye open and one closed.
Hmm. Ooh!
What if we aren't supposed to look at the trees?
What if we're supposed to listen to them?
I love it! Hmm.
But I was also thinking,
this statue of Ezra Brackish is looking through a telescope.
He's got one eye open and one eye closed, right?
Gotcha!
"Bring." So, that's the first part of the message.
Brilliant! Oop! Okay.
So, the next clue is…
Oh, I recognize this!
Come on, gang. Let's motor.
Maybe you'll have better luck on the next one?
Yeah, I can do this!
- Let's go get that next clue! - Whoop, whoop!
Goblin! Come on, girl!
Goblin, get down from there!
Don't worry. I got you.
- Thanks, lady. - No worries.
I have one just like that back home. But with less legs.
Anne, come on!
Gotta go! Don't let that thing grow up!
Catch you later!
Why the "W"? I mean, what's that supposed to mean?
- Let me take this one, Mar-Mar. - Okay.
You'll never solve me.
I mean, oh… I see.
Hey, I gotta go to the bathroom! BRB!
- Can I see your crossbow arm? - I don't see why not.
Okay, gotta find help.
Um… Aha!
An old person!
Old people love puzzles.
Psst! Hey. Wanna solve a puzzle?
Ooh! Looks like a juicy one.
Pull up some bench, dear.
- The name's Doris. - Anne.
Okay, any idea what this symbol has to do with the museum?
Oh, my son Harris used to work at the museum.
Oh, wait, no. Harris worked at the library.
Dusty worked at the museum. Or was it Dave?
Whoa, whoa. Hold on. How many sons do you have?
Whoa.
Hmm. I wonder if…
I knew this looked familiar!
The lines between the bricks of this wall of the museum
match up perfectly with the street grid of Newtopia.
Which puts us right about here!
"Me."
"Bring me."
Only one clue left to go.
If Dusty is upset about what Buster said, he should tell himself.
Hey, Anne. So, Marcy figured out the second puzzle.
The puzzle!
Sorry, Doris. Gotta run.
- It was nice talking to you. - You too, Anne.
Don't forget my offer to set you up with one of my sons!
Doris, stop it!
Hey, Anne. Glad you could catch up. Take a look at the final clue.
It's referring to the big bridge downtown. Come on!
Hop Pop, Polly! We're going to the bridge!
Take me with you!
Polly, look!
Just 987 more lunches, and we get a free suit of armor!
Okay, Anne. One clue left.
And Marcy will probably solve it before we get there.
Oh, come on. So, she's good at puzzles.
That doesn't mean she's smart and you're dumb.
Thanks, dude. Huh?
- Wha…? - Oh, boy.
Oh, yeah, yeah. I know.
I made a few suggestions on how to increase the weight limit,
and they named it after me.
Let's see where this triangle fits in.
- Okay, so she designed a bridge… - Please stop.
- Yeah, okay. - Why don't you go ahead?
- I think I need a moment alone. - Uh… Okay.
Just holler if you need something.
- What? My trays! - I got 'em!
Thank you, sweetie!
Here, have some gnatchos on the house.
Thanks. My name's Anne, by the way.
I'm Gertie. Nice to meet you.
Something got you down, Anne?
Have you ever had a friend who's so smart, they make you feel dumb?
Honey, this is Newtopia.
Everyone here's a genius.
And then there's me, with my dumb old gnatcho cart.
What? Gertie, don't say that. You're an independent businesswoman.
You've got it going on!
Oh, aren't you a sweet one. You wanna know my trick?
Fake it till you make it.
If you act like you're smart, everyone assumes you are.
- Really? That works? - Mm-hm!
I don't know about cooking and look at me.
I'm a famous chef!
Well, I'm a chef.
Well, I'm in the food business.
Hey, Anne! Marcy and I are stumped.
Get over here!
All right. What do we got here?
Okay. Easy.
Come on, Anne fake it!
So, a triangle has three sides, right?
Three rhymes with, uh, "tea."
You brew tea with water, and there's water in, uh…
The sewer! Let's go down there.
Whoa. This sewer is shockingly clean.
There's actually a reason for that.
- I… - Rehauled the sewer system?
How'd you know that?
Hey. Check that out.
That looks just like the circle in the clue.
Kind of. We obviously have to turn it.
Speak of the devil!
Here comes one of my improvements!
Ooh.
Would you guys believe that in addition to eating live meat
these babies love eating trash?
- Go, go, go! - Let's move!
Holy crud, that's heavy!
Gnatchos!
Get your gnatchos!
Gertie? Is that you?
- It's me, Anne. I need help! - Anne?
Don't worry, kiddo. I got you!
Got it! Here, grab my arm!
- Come on, Mar Mar! - Hey!
Anne, you hang in there, you hear?
- Anne! - Did you say "Anne"?
The tall, gangly creature?
She saved my Goblin.
We gotta help her.
They said they'd be at the bridge. Do you see them?
Hang in there, Anne!
- We'll save you, Anne! - Typical.
Ugh. Looks like this is it!
Grab on! Hop Pop, now!
Anne, what happened? Are you okay? Can't you go ten minutes on your own
without getting into some kind of crazy danger?
Give her a break, Hop Pop.
Anne's already sad because Marcy's so smart,
she makes her feel dumb.
- Sprig! - What?
Anne, is that true?
I don't know. Maybe?
I guess I get a little jealous of you sometimes.
I mean, you're so smart, and I'm… not.
Anne, that's insane.
Besides, I'm jealous of you.
- Huh? What for? - Yeah, what for?
You get along with people so well.
Three people you met today just risked their lives to save you.
Heck, the Plantars here adopted you and would do anything for you.
Yeah, I'm good at solving puzzles and calculating the check,
but you're amazing at making connections.
Me, I have trouble looking people in the eye sometimes.
Thanks, Marcy.
Maybe that's why we make such a good team.
- Come here, you. - Aw!
Hey, anyone else want a snack?
That nice lady gave me some gnatchos.
Whoa! Wait a sec, it's… Look!
The symbol, it's a gnatcho!
Sprig, empty that tray!
That means the message is…
"Bring me the Plantars."
Oh, guys, we've been summoned!
And you solved the puzzle gram, Anne!
Self-esteem boost and an audience with the ruler of this world?
Win-win, baby!
So, you guys wanna feed gnatchos to that alligator?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Ooh!
Just look how happy it makes him.
Dang, girl.
This is where you've been hanging out?
I wouldn't say I "hang out" here, but yes!
Staying at the castle has been awesome.
Wow, I can't believe we're here.
And that we're about to meet the king of Amphibia!
Wow, just look at this place.
Am I dressed okay?
Should I have worn my silk ascot?
- I'll go back and get it. - Hey, hey.
Don't stress, guys.
This is no big deal.
Okay, frog family.
You're about to meet King Andrias.
This is a big deal.
Wow.
May I present to you Andrias Leviathan, Lord of Amphibia.
Peacekeeper of a thousand years and the first of his name.
Now that's king-sized.
Hello, Plantar family!
Oh, bring it in, you guys. Bring it in.
Quick, kids, bow.
It's so good to finally meet you!
I love this guy!
Dear King Andrias, just once,
it would be nice if you followed proper castle etiquette.
Oh, etiquette schmetiquette!
Ooh! And what do we have here?
- Hey. - You must be Anne.
'Sup? Am I saying it right?
'Sup?
You got it!
The thumb of approval.
And here's a thumb for you, Anne.
Oh! Uh…
Right back at you.
Delightful!
Now, let's get down to business, shall we?
Getting you girls back home safe and sound.
Alas, without the music box, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.
Marcy doesn't have it,
and, well, I assume you don't have it either.
Oh! Uh, actually, I do have the box.
What? Are you serious?
Why, this is marvelous news! Come, come, let's see it.
Well, I don't "have it, have it."
Hop Pop left it with some contacts to see what they could learn about it.
- But I do have a photo of it. - Yes, yes, a photo.
Let's see here.
Hmm. How peculiar.
Marcy, didn't you say the gems were colored?
Look here. They're… They're gray.
Hey, you're right. I never actually noticed that.
This will require further study in the deepest of our archives.
Give me a few days to work with this.
At that time, we shall reconvene and set a glorious plan in motion.
Great! Mar Mar, what can I do to help?
Can you translate ancient Amphibian runes?
I sure can't!
Don't worry, dude. I got this.
Nice. Just like group projects back home.
Until then, my dear Plantars, go forth and enjoy the sights of Newtopia.
We've booked you a suite at the Hemisphere Hotel, my treat.
And here, pick a hand!
This hand?
Psych!
But wait, what's this?
The Royal Credit Card!
It will grant you access to do anything in Newtopia.
Be safe with this now.
Wars have been waged for less.
Whoa!
We get to explore Newtopia with unlimited money?
This is a dream come true. Onward, family.
Time to see Newtopia!
What do you mean, nobody wants to see Newtopia?
Not happening.
Polly happy right here.
- Anne, come on. You're with me, right? - Sorry, dude.
The only thing I want to explore is that gift basket.
- Maybe later. - But we have the Royal Credit Card.
The city's our playground.
Sprig, the city will still be there tomorrow.
- Probably. - Tomorrow?
- Or I could take the card and… - Sprig Plantar!
Under no circumstances are you to take that card
outside of this hotel!
- I won't, Hop Pop. - Good!
He didn't say anything about using it inside the hotel.
Huh?
Four years of Newtopia University and a mountain of student debt for this?
Oh, hi there. Bella the Bellhop at your service.
Got the rest of your bags here.
Whew.
- Ahem. How about a tip? - Oh, sure.
If you were to do one thing in the hotel for fun,
- what would it be? - Well, I've never gone.
But everyone says the view from the top of the indoor Ferris wheel
will change your life.
Great. Thanks for the tip.
Whoa.
This place is amazing!
Look at that fountain!
And ooh! That must be the indoor Ferris wheel.
I'm gonna save you for later.
Excuse me. Are you winking at that Ferris wheel?
Yes, and I'm rich, so deal with it. Ha-ha!
Very good, sir.
One ant cream sundae, my good man.
Whoa.
- Napkin, sir? - What do I look like, a slob?
Looking good.
- Hey! - Hey!
Nope. Nope.
Yes! Thank you, my good man.
And now to put on my hat.
Care for some Bug-accino, sir? Made fresh daily.
- Five, please. - Um…
- These are pretty strong. - Five, I say!
Bop, bop, bee, bop. Wow.
Disgusting!
But maybe Hop Pop will like it. One to go, please.
And she said they were strong.
I don't feel a thing.
Huh?
I'm the time lord now.
I'll have what he's having.
Well, all that's left is to ride the Ferris wheel,
and I have just the thing to pay for it.
Huh?
No! The Royal Credit Card!
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Excuse me, youngster.
- Could you push the 19th floor? - Uh, sure.
Oh, shoot.
- Can we try the 18th? - Yeah-huh.
Here we go, 18th floor.
Nope. This isn't the casino either.
Maybe we have to go to every floor until we find it.
It may take hours, but what do we care?
We're old and have all the time in the world.
Five minutes left on your break, Bella.
Is this it?
Is this the rest of my life?
Oh, well. If the real world's taught me anything,
it's that magic is dead and miracles don't exist.
Oh, thank goodness. I was beginning to think
I'd never get my Royal Credit Card with unlimited funds back.
Did you say, "unlimited funds"?
Sure did! Oh, you're gonna steal it, aren't you?
- Finders keepers! - Hey!
Oh, no, you don't!
Well, Ferris wheel, the time has come.
Are you winking at that Ferris wheel?
- Yes, and I'm rich, so deal with it! - Hey, get back here!
Ha-ha!
Glad I'm a frog right about now.
Hey, no fair! I'm just a frog!
Hey! Give me that!
It's mine!
Ooh.
Aww.
Whoa, it's spectacular.
It's even more amazing than everyone says.
Sorry about trying to steal your card, kid.
I shouldn't have.
I just… I just really need the money.
Oh, that's okay.
I'll never get to her in time.
Unless…
What the…? You saved me.
Thanks, kid.
You two are in big trouble!
Nobody rides the Hemisphere Ferris wheel for free!
- Oh, sure. Here you go. - My mistake, sir.
You, on the other hand, are fired!
Excuse me.
Were you about to fire your best employee?
My best?
This bellhop recommended the Ferris wheel,
but also went above and beyond her duty by showing it to me personally.
I think the Newt King, who I happen to know,
would be upset if she didn't get a raise!
The king? Yes, absolutely. Sound good, Bella?
Yes, sir!
Thanks, kid. It's people like you
that make me ever so slightly more positive about the future.
Don't mention it! Wanna go buy, like, 500 ant sundaes?
If you're paying, let's make it 1,000.
What a morning.
Nothing like a nap to feel rejuvenated and full of energy.
You guys wanna check out the hotel?
- Rise and shine, Sprig! - Let's go, little buddy!
Time for more crazy hijinks!
- Ugh, go away. - Come on!
I want to get my adventure on!
- Let's milk that credit card! - There's a Ferris wheel!
