1. Chapter 1 - "The Old Grist Mill"
Copy !req
2. Somewhere lost in the clouded
Copy !req
3. annals of history lies a
place that few have seen ...
Copy !req
4. a mysterious place
called the Unknown, where
Copy !req
5. long-forgotten stories are
revealed to those who travel
Copy !req
6. through the wood.
Copy !req
7. Antelope, Guggenheim,
Copy !req
8. Albert, Salami, Giggly,
Jumpy, Tom, Thomas, Tambourine,
Copy !req
9. Leg face McCullen, Artichoke,
Penguin, Pete, Steve,
Copy !req
10. but I think the very worst
name for this frog is ...
Copy !req
11. Wait. Wait a second.
Uh, Greg...
Copy !req
12. where are we?
Copy !req
13. - In the woods.
- I mean...
Copy !req
14. - what are we doing out here?
- We're walking home.
Copy !req
15. Greg, I think we're lost.
We sh... we should have left
Copy !req
16. - a trail or something.
- I can leave a trail of
Copy !req
17. - candy from my pants.
- No.
Copy !req
18. Though I am lost, my wounded
heart resides back home,
Copy !req
19. in pieces, strewn about the
graveyard of my lost love,
Copy !req
20. for only ...
Copy !req
21. - Do you hear that?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
22. Do you think it's some kind
of deranged lunatic with an ax
Copy !req
23. waiting out there in the
darkness for innocent victims?
Copy !req
24. Greg. Greg!
Copy !req
25. Greg, you're gonna get
us into trouble again.
Copy !req
26. - We should ask him for help.
- No, we should not ask
Copy !req
27. - him for help.
- But ...
Copy !req
28. - Shh!
- You shush.
Copy !req
29. - You shush.
- Shh.
Copy !req
30. Shoot.
Copy !req
31. You think we should
have asked him for help?
Copy !req
32. Maybe I can help you.
I mean, you guys
Copy !req
33. are lost, right?
Copy !req
34. - What in the world is going on?
- Well, you're slapping
Copy !req
35. yourself and I'm answering
your question and ...
Copy !req
36. No, Greg. A bird's
brain isn't big enough
Copy !req
37. - for cognizant speech.
- Hey, what was that?
Copy !req
38. I mean, I'm just saying you're ...
you're weird ...
Copy !req
39. like, not normal. I-I mean ...
Oh, my gosh.
Copy !req
40. - Stop talking to it, Wirt.
- "It"?
Copy !req
41. - Uh ... uh ...
- What are you doing here?
Copy !req
42. - Explain yourselves!
- And I'll see you guys later. Bye.
Copy !req
43. Calm ... calm down, mister.
Copy !req
44. Wh-Whatever you do
here is your business.
Copy !req
45. We just want to get home
with all of our legs
Copy !req
46. - and arms attached.
- These woods are no place for children.
Copy !req
47. - Don't you know the beast is afoot here?
- The beast?
Copy !req
48. W-W-W-We don't know
anything about that.
Copy !req
49. W-We're just two lost
kids trying to get home.
Copy !req
50. Well, welcome to the Unknown, boys.
Copy !req
51. You're more lost than you realize.
Copy !req
52. I found this homestead
abandoned and repurposed its
Copy !req
53. mill for my needs.
You and your brother should be
Copy !req
54. - safe here while I work.
- Candy trail, candy trail,
Copy !req
55. - candy trail.
- What ... what is your work, exactly?
Copy !req
56. Everyone has a torch to burn,
Copy !req
57. and this here's mine.
I grind the horrid edelwood
Copy !req
58. trees into oil to keep this lantern lit.
Copy !req
59. This is my lot in life.
This is my burden.
Copy !req
60. This guy sounds loony.
Maybe we should make a break
Copy !req
61. for it, if we can.
But he must know the woods really
Copy !req
62. well, so we may need to
knock him out first, except that
Copy !req
63. may turn out really badly, huh?
Yeah, bad ... bad plan.
Copy !req
64. - Forget it. Bad plan.
- Okay.
Copy !req
65. What are you boys whispering about?
Copy !req
66. We're talking about
running away out of here.
Copy !req
67. - Shh! Shh!
- Shh!
Copy !req
68. Shh!
Copy !req
69. Leave if you wish. But
remember ... the beast haunts
Copy !req
70. these woods, ever singing his
mournful melody in search of
Copy !req
71. - lost souls such as yourselves!
- To help us?
Copy !req
72. No, not to help you.
I have work to do in the mill.
Copy !req
73. When I am finished, I will do
what I can to guide you if you
Copy !req
74. - are still here when I return.
- Huh.
Copy !req
75. I guess we could just
leave. I don't know.
Copy !req
76. - Greg!
- What?
Copy !req
77. Do you think there really is
Copy !req
78. a beast out there, or is
that guy just messing with us?
Copy !req
79. - Uh-huh.
- I mean, he could have done
Copy !req
80. away with us by now if that was
his plan, and he lit that fire.
Copy !req
81. - That's pretty nice.
- Yeah!
Copy !req
82. I guess it's possible there's
a beast, since there was
Copy !req
83. - a talking bird, but ...
- Yeah!
Copy !req
84. I don't know.
Copy !req
85. Sometimes I feel like I'm
just like a boat upon a winding
Copy !req
86. river, twisting towards
an endless black sea...
Copy !req
87. further and further
Copy !req
88. drifting away from where
I want to be, who I want to be.
Copy !req
89. Oh. I didn't know that.
Did you know that if you soak
Copy !req
90. a raisin in grape juice,
it turns into a grape?
Copy !req
91. It's a rock fact!
Copy !req
92. You're not helping at all.
Why don't you go play with
Copy !req
93. - your frog or something?
- Aw, beans!
Copy !req
94. Where is that frog o' mine?
Hold on there, second
Copy !req
95. brother o' mine.
I'll be back soon for your plan.
Copy !req
96. Kitty! Kitty!
Copy !req
97. Now, where did that frog named Kitty go?
Copy !req
98. Whoop!
I tripped on my own candy trail!
Copy !req
99. Huh?
Copy !req
100. That frog's giving me the runaround.
Copy !req
101. Kitty!
Copy !req
102. Gross.
Copy !req
103. Kitty?
Copy !req
104. Hmm. Is that ...
Whoop! Oh, there you are!
Copy !req
105. Wirt?
Copy !req
106. Kitty?
Copy !req
107. You have beautiful eyes.
Copy !req
108. Greg?
Copy !req
109. Uh...
Copy !req
110. What's happening?
Copy !req
111. - Where's your brother?
- Uh-uh-uh.
Copy !req
112. Holy moly. Hot dog.
Copy !req
113. Ugh!
Copy !req
114. - It's the beast!
- Stay back, boys!
Copy !req
115. This creature which is known as ...
Huh?
Copy !req
116. Ohhh.
Copy !req
117. - Greg, why did you do that?
- That was your plan, remember?
Copy !req
118. - Knock him out!
- No! Bad plan!
Copy !req
119. I told you to forget that plan!
Copy !req
120. Spank! Spank!
Copy !req
121. Run, run, run, run, run, run, run!
Copy !req
122. Candy camouflage!
Copy !req
123. Run, run, run,
run, run, run, run, run.
Copy !req
124. - Greg!
- This is amazing, huh?
Copy !req
125. Am I supposed to throw something?
Copy !req
126. Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
127. He's eating your candy.
Copy !req
128. I wonder if he ate my whole
candy trail that led
Copy !req
129. - to this mill.
- Ugh! Greg, you led the beast
Copy !req
130. right to us with your candy!
Copy !req
131. Hey, give me the ax.
You're too little to have
Copy !req
132. it anyway.
We got to ...
Copy !req
133. We got to get out of here!
Copy !req
134. Uh, Greg, give him
the rest of your candy!
Copy !req
135. Oops.
Copy !req
136. - Hey, Wirt, look!
- Greg?
Copy !req
137. Wirt, he spit up that turtle,
and now he's my new best friend!
Copy !req
138. Ohh! Ohh.
Copy !req
139. Hey, where are you going?
Ain't that just the way?
Copy !req
140. The mill is destroyed.
The oil ... all gone!
Copy !req
141. But ... but ... but look.
We got the beast problem solved.
Copy !req
142. That dog?
That is not the beast!
Copy !req
143. The beast cannot be mollified
like some farmer's pet!
Copy !req
144. He stalks like the night.
He sings like the four winds.
Copy !req
145. He is the death of hope.
He steals their children,
Copy !req
146. and he'll... run...
Copy !req
147. You're always messing up, Greg.
Copy !req
148. Boy, you have it backwards!
You are the elder child!
Copy !req
149. You are responsible for you
and your brother's actions!
Copy !req
150. I'm ... I'm ... I'm sorry.
Maybe I can... fix it?
Copy !req
151. - I-I can't fix it.
- You must go.
Copy !req
152. Take your brother North.
Look for a town.
Copy !req
153. Yeah. Thanks.
Come on, Greg.
Copy !req
154. One last thing ...
beware the Unknown!
Copy !req
155. Fear the beast and leave these woods...
Copy !req
156. if you can.
It is your burden to bear!
Copy !req
157. - Right. Yeah. Got it.
- And, little one, you look
Copy !req
158. after that frog.
Give him a proper name.
Copy !req
159. Okay.
Copy !req
160. Wirt, I think I thought
of a new name for our frog.
Copy !req
161. - I'm gonna call him "Wirt."
- That's gonna be
Copy !req
162. - really confusing.
- No.
Copy !req
163. - I'm gonna call you "Kitty."
- What? Maybe I'll start
Copy !req
164. - calling you "candy pants."
- Whoa! Yeah!
Copy !req
165. Good one, Wirt.
Copy !req
166. - Thanks.
- I'm not talking to you.
Copy !req
167. I'm talking to Wirt.
Copy !req
