1. We had to bring our life jacket?
Copy !req
2. I've great rowing skills.
They call me boat master.
Copy !req
3. And Twig jabbed him with his horns,
and he was like, "Ow!"
Copy !req
4. Attention, Sparrow Scouts.
Copy !req
5. Today, you all will have the opportunity
to earn the last badge of the year,
Copy !req
6. the Fish Finder River Badge.
Copy !req
7. - Yeah. Finally!
Copy !req
8. Today is a good day to be a Sparrow.
Copy !req
9. To earn it, you must identify as many
fish as possible during your journey.
Copy !req
10. I'll need everyone to form groups of four.
Copy !req
11. [boy 2] Hey, Jacob,
do you wanna be in our group?
Copy !req
12. - Izzy, here.
- [boy 3] Gabriel, here.
Copy !req
13. But there's only three of us.
Have we ever had a fourth before?
Copy !req
14. No. We've always
worked quite well as a trio.
Copy !req
15. I'm sure we'll find someone.
Copy !req
16. Doesn't hurt to broaden our horizons.
Copy !req
17. - I wanna paddle.
- That's a good idea.
Copy !req
18. I don't understand. There isn't
a single person available to join us?
Copy !req
19. That's because nobody wants to get stuck
with the Freaky Friends.
Copy !req
20. The Freaky Friends? Who are they?
Copy !req
21. Wait, is that us?
Copy !req
22. What's so freaky about us?
Copy !req
23. You lot are always getting caught up
in some weird stuff.
Copy !req
24. It's like you're allergic to normal.
Copy !req
25. What are you talking about?
We had plenty of normal trips. Right?
Copy !req
26. Uh…
Copy !req
27. Of course we have.
There was that one time when— Oh…
Copy !req
28. Oh, how about when… Mm.
Copy !req
29. It's true. Our number
of normal scout trips is currently at
Copy !req
30. zero.
Copy !req
31. Maybe you three
should leave scouting and join the circus.
Copy !req
32. Our wild reputation was bound
to catch up with us eventually.
Copy !req
33. This is all my fault.
Copy !req
34. You two weren't freaky before you met me.
Copy !req
35. Don't be ridiculous.
Copy !req
36. We chose to be your friend,
freakiness and all.
Copy !req
37. Hm. Still…
Copy !req
38. We'll show them.
Copy !req
39. Today, we'll have the most ordinary
river trip you can imagine.
Copy !req
40. If adventure calls,
we'll hang up the phone.
Copy !req
41. Thank goodness there's still a spot.
Copy !req
42. Hilda, Frida, David,
you're going to team up with Louise.
Copy !req
43. Okay. Let's begin.
This badge isn't going to earn itself.
Copy !req
44. Who's Louise?
Copy !req
45. - Hi.
Copy !req
46. Oh. I— I don't believe we've met before.
I'm Frida, and this is David and Hilda.
Copy !req
47. Welcome to the Sparrow Scouts.
Copy !req
48. Oh, I've actually been a scout
for a year now. I just keep to myself.
Copy !req
49. A quiet type. I can relate.
Copy !req
50. So, are you worried about
taking a trip with the Freaky Friends?
Copy !req
51. The who?
Copy !req
52. - Perfect.
- Phew.
Copy !req
53. There's one.
Copy !req
54. A lutefish!
That's seven and counting.
Copy !req
55. What a wonderfully
unremarkable day.
Copy !req
56. Don't get too close.
Copy !req
57. We don't want to get sucked into
a whirlpool or eaten by a sea serpent.
Copy !req
58. - Yeah.
- That won't happen.
Copy !req
59. It won't. Right?
Copy !req
60. Of course not. Mostly because
sea serpents live in the sea.
Copy !req
61. Doesn't matter.
Copy !req
62. I'm sure you'll still find
a way to run into one.
Copy !req
63. - Yeah.
Copy !req
64. I promise this will be
a completely normal outing.
Copy !req
65. Remember. No detours. No magic.
No freakiness. We follow the map.
Copy !req
66. You got it.
Copy !req
67. Oh, cruddlesticks.
Copy !req
68. Uh…
Copy !req
69. I lost the map.
Copy !req
70. What?
Copy !req
71. - What?
- How could you?
Copy !req
72. - Wasn't on purpose.
- Something wrong?
Copy !req
73. - No!
- Not at all.
Copy !req
74. Everything is totally normal.
Copy !req
75. Hm.
Copy !req
76. Phew.
Copy !req
77. We better hurry.
We're losing the other rafts.
Copy !req
78. Oh.
Copy !req
79. Which way looks less likely
to lead to an exhilarating adventure?
Copy !req
80. My lucky coin will help us decide.
Copy !req
81. Oh, oh, oh!
Copy !req
82. I've been practicing
holding on to things as well.
Copy !req
83. Well, here goes nothing.
Copy !req
84. Where are we?
Copy !req
85. Let's keep paddling.
We're sure to recognize something soon.
Copy !req
86. - Hm?
Copy !req
87. What's wrong?
Copy !req
88. I think it's stuck.
Copy !req
89. Excuse me for a moment, Louise.
Copy !req
90. I got it!
Copy !req
91. Hello!
Copy !req
92. Is everything all right up here?
Copy !req
93. Yes. We found another fish
to add to the list.
Copy !req
94. Very average.
Copy !req
95. Nothing special about it.
Copy !req
96. Rude. Mind if I come aboard?
Copy !req
97. There's something marvelous
I'd love to show you.
Copy !req
98. I think it just talked?
Copy !req
99. Sounded like a normal fish noise to me.
Copy !req
100. We were just about
to put it back in the river.
Copy !req
101. Fine. I didn't just want
to show you something marvelous.
Copy !req
102. I need your help!
Copy !req
103. Yep. It's definitely talking.
Copy !req
104. Help with what?
Copy !req
105. There's a vicious sea serpent after me!
Copy !req
106. Now I know you're lying.
Copy !req
107. Hilda told me
there's no way we'd run into a—
Copy !req
108. Sea serpent!
Copy !req
109. Wow.
Copy !req
110. Everyone, paddle!
Copy !req
111. I'm not sure I find the humor
in being eaten by a sea serpent.
Copy !req
112. Ooh! Ooh! That way! It won't be able
to follow us into the shallower water.
Copy !req
113. That does not look safe at all.
Copy !req
114. I don't think we have a choice.
Everybody, hold on!
Copy !req
115. Perfect. We're rescuing a madman.
Copy !req
116. It worked.
Copy !req
117. Sorry about this, Louise.
Copy !req
118. Don't worry. We'll be back
to the main river soon.
Copy !req
119. I'm not so sure about that!
Copy !req
120. Waterfall!
Copy !req
121. - Paddle!
Copy !req
122. Everybody okay?
Copy !req
123. Perfectly, thanks to you.
Copy !req
124. You must let me demonstrate my gratitude.
Copy !req
125. Not sure we have the time.
Copy !req
126. We have to get back
to the other scouts as soon as possible.
Copy !req
127. Um, how are we gonna get back up?
Copy !req
128. We'll have to carry the raft
through those woods.
Copy !req
129. Nonsense. I won't let my rescuers
go through such misery.
Copy !req
130. I don't think we need
any more ideas from him.
Copy !req
131. Are you sure?
Copy !req
132. Ta-da!
Copy !req
133. Within these caves
are a series of tunnels.
Copy !req
134. I know them like the back of my fin.
Copy !req
135. I can lead you
straight back to the main river.
Copy !req
136. Hm. Just a second.
Copy !req
137. Anybody else think
there's something fishy going on?
Copy !req
138. - Are you making a joke?
Copy !req
139. I'm not trying to eavesdrop,
but this is rather a small raft.
Copy !req
140. It's true.
Copy !req
141. Wait. So, earlier, you could hear…
Copy !req
142. Oh.
Copy !req
143. - This is all my fault. I lost the map.
Copy !req
144. Sorry. Still listening.
Copy !req
145. If we go through the woods,
we might get lost in there too.
Copy !req
146. That's true.
Copy !req
147. And the sun will be setting soon.
Copy !req
148. All right, merman. Show us the way.
Copy !req
149. Perfect!
You won't be disappointed,
Copy !req
150. or my name isn't Eugene.
Copy !req
151. Your name is Eugene?
Copy !req
152. Well, it's my surface name.
Copy !req
153. You can't pronounce
my true name without gills. It's…
Copy !req
154. All right, Eugene.
What exactly do you find so amusing?
Copy !req
155. That's not encouraging.
Copy !req
156. We've fallen into a trap.
Copy !req
157. - He's gonna eat us any second now.
Copy !req
158. Even worse. He's putting on a show.
Copy !req
159. Will this be going on for much longer?
Copy !req
160. You're not enjoying the show?
Copy !req
161. It's clear you had fun doing it.
Copy !req
162. - And that's what's important.
- Of course we didn't enjoy the show.
Copy !req
163. What happened to this being
a shortcut to the river?
Copy !req
164. Audience feedback is important,
and I hear you.
Copy !req
165. I'll take your notes into consideration
for my next performance,
Copy !req
166. which is scheduled for… …now!
Copy !req
167. Hm?
Copy !req
168. Yeah.
Copy !req
169. So, what do you think? Be honest.
Copy !req
170. You like the adjustments
I made per your notes?
Copy !req
171. - No!
- No?
Copy !req
172. Well, that's a little reductive.
What part exactly needs tweaking?
Copy !req
173. All of it!
Copy !req
174. Especially the part where you said
you'd help us get back to our troop,
Copy !req
175. but instead, trapped us in this cave,
scaring poor Louise half to death.
Copy !req
176. - Is that how you feel, Louise?
Copy !req
177. Well, I…
Copy !req
178. I feel like
if that serpent was an illusion,
Copy !req
179. then the earlier one was too.
Copy !req
180. Did we even save your life?
Copy !req
181. A showman
never reveals his secrets.
Copy !req
182. I just wanted to show you a good time,
and in return… get a laugh.
Copy !req
183. Is that so much to ask?
Copy !req
184. Do you really care that much
about entertaining us?
Copy !req
185. You have no idea.
Copy !req
186. Thespians like myself are natural givers.
Copy !req
187. We give, and we give, and you…
Copy !req
188. You have no appreciation for the arts.
Copy !req
189. You consider this art?
Copy !req
190. How about this?
Copy !req
191. If you can make us laugh
in the next five minutes,
Copy !req
192. we'll stay and happily watch.
Copy !req
193. Forever?
Copy !req
194. Fine. But if you fail,
you have to let us go.
Copy !req
195. Hm.
Copy !req
196. I do love a good game.
Copy !req
197. All right. Let's do it.
Copy !req
198. Ha-ha!
Copy !req
199. - Hm.
Copy !req
200. Here's one to warm you up.
Copy !req
201. What did one ocean say to the other?
Copy !req
202. Nothing! They just waved.
Copy !req
203. They just waved.
Copy !req
204. Nice work, David.
Copy !req
205. Hmm-mm. Hm.
Copy !req
206. Fine.
Copy !req
207. I guess I'll have to pull out
my A-material.
Copy !req
208. How is this supposed to be funny?
Copy !req
209. David, what's happened to you?
Copy !req
210. Me? What's happened to you?
Copy !req
211. - Mm?
Copy !req
212. Looks like we're keeping it
together so far. Oh no. Is that my voice?
Copy !req
213. I don't think this is funny.
Copy !req
214. Ha-ha! Gotcha!
Copy !req
215. Oh no. We laughed.
Copy !req
216. At such juvenile humor too.
Copy !req
217. Well, not all of us laughed.
Copy !req
218. Fine. You've beaten me.
Copy !req
219. - Yes!
- Woo-hoo!
Copy !req
220. Yeah!
Copy !req
221. You're free to go,
Copy !req
222. Louise.
Copy !req
223. - What?
- Huh?
Copy !req
224. You didn't say if I can't make
you all laugh then you all go free.
Copy !req
225. You laughed. You stay.
Copy !req
226. He's right. Semantics are very important
in these situations.
Copy !req
227. Fair is fair.
Copy !req
228. Louise shouldn't have to be stuck
watching mediocre musical numbers
Copy !req
229. because she chose
to hang out with the "Freaky Friends."
Copy !req
230. Are you finally going to tell us
what's so funny?
Copy !req
231. You think Louise is so innocent.
Copy !req
232. What's that supposed to mean? Huh?
Copy !req
233. Give my friends
one more chance to win their freedom.
Copy !req
234. And?
Copy !req
235. And if we fail, you can have all of us.
Copy !req
236. I'll laugh at your jokes
even if I don't think they're funny.
Copy !req
237. Louise, what are you doing?
Copy !req
238. You'd risk
your freedom for these three?
Copy !req
239. Fair enough.
Copy !req
240. Choose your exit.
Copy !req
241. One leads to your way out.
Copy !req
242. The others lead to an eternity
as my captive audience.
Copy !req
243. How are we ever going
to pick the right one?
Copy !req
244. Time for a private meeting.
Copy !req
245. The merman laughs
when someone's about to do something
Copy !req
246. he thinks is stupid or wrong.
Copy !req
247. All we have to do
is pretend we're choosing an exit
Copy !req
248. and watch his reaction.
Copy !req
249. Wow. How did you notice all this?
Copy !req
250. When you're quiet like me,
it's easy to stand back
Copy !req
251. and notice the things others miss.
Copy !req
252. Okay, Louise.
We'll follow your lead. Ready?
Copy !req
253. Huh?
Copy !req
254. Hm? Hm?
Copy !req
255. Hm.
Copy !req
256. They're onto me.
Darn my charming, expressive face.
Copy !req
257. - Mmm.
Copy !req
258. All right, last two.
Copy !req
259. Maybe not the one with the teeth?
Copy !req
260. Keep an eye out.
Copy !req
261. No smile.
Copy !req
262. This must be the one, then.
Copy !req
263. Be prepared to hang on.
Copy !req
264. - It's a trick.
Copy !req
265. I win!
Copy !req
266. Oh no!
Copy !req
267. Whoa!
Copy !req
268. We can do this!
Copy !req
269. All together!
Copy !req
270. Huh?
Copy !req
271. - Whoo!
- Yes!
Copy !req
272. What?
Copy !req
273. No! Wait!
Copy !req
274. Ah! We did it!
Copy !req
275. - Sort of.
Copy !req
276. We're still lost.
Copy !req
277. Would this help?
Copy !req
278. - Huh?
Copy !req
279. You took the map.
Copy !req
280. You three are always doing
something wild and unexpected.
Copy !req
281. I was really excited
to have an adventure with you.
Copy !req
282. So when I realized you were all committed
to making our day normal…
Copy !req
283. So, you did know
we were the Freaky Friends.
Copy !req
284. I was trying to play it cool.
Copy !req
285. I didn't expect things
to get so out of hand.
Copy !req
286. Don't worry.
Copy !req
287. Things always get this out of hand.
Copy !req
288. You're not angry?
Copy !req
289. No, it's just nice to know that someone
appreciates our tendency to be,
Copy !req
290. um, abnormal.
Copy !req
291. If you want, you could be
our fourth Freaky Friend.
Copy !req
292. We could be the Freaky Four!
Copy !req
293. Picture to mark the occasion?
Copy !req
294. - Eugene.
Copy !req
295. So, you really don't want to see
another one of my shows?
Copy !req
296. No.
Copy !req
297. If this is about trying
to imprison you for an eternity,
Copy !req
298. I'm sorry, but you ever try
to get a rise out of a river carp?
Copy !req
299. The most boring audience in the world.
Copy !req
300. In the sea, I had devoted fans.
Now the only response I get is…
Copy !req
301. Blah, blah.
Copy !req
302. Well, why not just go back to the sea?
Copy !req
303. You heard my story.
Copy !req
304. I'm stuck here
in this cursed maze of waterways.
Copy !req
305. I never thought I'd say this,
but what's so funny?
Copy !req
306. This "cursed maze" is just a river.
Copy !req
307. And all rivers lead to the sea.
Copy !req
308. Wait. Really?
Copy !req
309. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
310. Geography isn't my strong suit.
Copy !req
311. Head south.
You should be home by tomorrow.
Copy !req
312. Oh, and before you go.
Copy !req
313. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
314. Sorry again, kids. And farewell.
I hope you think of me fondly.
Copy !req
315. We won't.
Copy !req
316. But we will use you
to earn our Fish Finder badge.
Copy !req
317. One approval-starved merman.
Copy !req
318. I guess
we should probably start heading back.
Copy !req
319. Well, the sun's not going down yet.
Copy !req
320. Wanna try for more?
Copy !req
321. - Yeah!
- Let's go!
Copy !req
322. - Not having the map.
- I want the badge.
Copy !req
323. - Anyone got any snacks?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
324. Louise, what did you whisper
to him anyway?
Copy !req
325. No sign of the Freaky Friends.
What do you think happened to them?
Copy !req
326. I bet they were all turned into frogs
by a hungry kelp witch.
Copy !req
327. Yeah!
Copy !req
