EVIL CACKLING ECHOES

SIGHS

This is the worst!

I spent all day traipsing around looking for those nasty kids,

and they couldn't even have the decency

to show their grubby faces. It's just so rude.

When I was a kid, I'd have been utterly flattered

if a witch wanted to gobble me up.

It happens in all the best stories.

Maybe it's me. I know I'm just not the witch I once was.

All this failure's doing a number on my self-confidence.

I'm still cool.

Dulboot?

I'm still cool...

right? HE SIGHS

Dul...

Oh, there you are, Dulboot!

Listen, I'm going to need one of those pep talks from you -

the ones where you tell me how I'm amazing and all-powerful

and that you couldn't live without me.

SNIFFS Now...

you're not still all sulky about that dumb bunny, are you?

Come on!

Badjelly loves it

when her big strong Dulboot is a big old suck-up.

Nah. No, thanks.

If you like, you can lie to yourself today. I'm not gonna.

But I need you to tell me lies.

It doesn't work when I do it.

You're so stroppy today. What's the matter with you?

ROCK WHISTLES, THUMP Ugh, whatever.

Well, that didn't work. I feel worse, if anything.

I do miss those days of unchecked self-belief.

GASPS You know what?

I might need those smelly kids to bring my magic back,

but I should be able to drum up a little confidence on my own.

Aha!

A giant's tears?

Oh. I can do that.

Hang on -

whisker of a mountain? Ugh, well, that's not ideal.

SWEEPING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC

This way, Tim. We're getting close.

It's all right, kid. He's OK.

We're all OK! Almost there.

Yeah, we're gonna find your friend Lucy and save the day.

It's gonna be amazing!

Then we should get something to eat, I'm really hungry.

I'm not sure I've ever seen you eat.

Is that something tin lions do? I chomped that big boulder.

Does that count?

SIGHS Well, I'll just be glad

to get this done, pretty over it, to be honest.

I bet Silly Sausage is sure missing me.

I wonder what he's doing.

TAPS DRUMSTICKS

PLAYS HALTING DRUMBEAT

Well, he better not be playing my drums. That's all I can say.

Are you OK, little brother? Yes. Stop asking.

But really, though? Just leave it, Rose.

No! I need to know that you're OK.

I told you I'm fine!

This is great. This whole thing is really great!

Ugh. Even better. What a cool adventure we're having! Tim.

FOREBODING MUSIC

Whoa. He's alive.

Oh, wow. Amazing. Can you imagine?

Oh, I'm sorry! I... You what?

You've just spent the day walking all over me

without once asking for permission.

And now you want what, exactly?

Ooh, he's kind of feisty. WHISPERS: I like it.

I'm so glad I could please you!

So, what is it that you want?

We're just trying to save our friend.

Never heard of 'em. I haven't told you who they are yet.

Well, maybe if you had, I would've heard of them,

but as it stands, I've got no idea who they are.

Just give me a moment.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm a bit hard of hearing in the one ear.

I'm trying to... Oh, you don't half go on.

One big nose breath would shoo you away. INHALES SHARPLY

Ooh, wait, wait, wait. We're trying to find our friend.

She's at Badjelly's castle!

Badjelly?

Yes. She's taken our friend Lucy.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That sounds like something she'd do.

She's, oh, so funny.

Do you like her?

W-What? No, no. Well-Well...

Well, maybe...

Uh, why? Why? What have you heard?

Does she... Does she... Does she like me back?

Well, you're very big and powerful.

Who wouldn't like that?

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, I am big and powerful.

Check out my... Check out my enchanted mountain voice.

BOOMS: Who dares to walk

upon my chiselled, mountainous regions? CHUCKLES

Well, if you'd said that earlier, we would've definitely run away.

Oh, well, thanks very much.

That's actually very good to know.

So, erm, do you know where she is, though, specifically?

Yeah. We'd really like to find her.

Well, if I told you, you know,

would you put in a good word for me?

Maybe, you know, send her my way.

No! No, no. Wait, wait, wait, no.

ROSE: What? What is it? Well, yeah, look at me.

I mean, this moustache, this beard -

I... I must look like some dishevelled old geezer.

I mean, he does.

It's because I haven't been able to find my shaver.

What am I gonna do?

You've all distracted me

with all this talk of this breathtaking Badjelly.

It was probably you lot that stole it in the first place.

Ooh. I'm so sorry.

And so you should be, you criminal lowlifes.

It was probably the mouse. What?!

I didn't steal his grubby shaver!

But maybe we could help you find it.

Well, you know, I suppose, you know,

the best folk to find a stolen item are the ones who stole it

in the first place. Look!

Yeah, mm. Good spotting, Tim.

OK, how about this?

We'll find your shaver, and, in return,

you tell us how to get to Badjelly's castle.

Sound good? You know what? I like it.

I like it. You've got yourself a deal.

All right, guys, let's go. Lucy's waiting.

So, right, who's the lucky joker who's gonna shave me?

SNIFFS

Oh, no.

They've all gone.

Oh, well.

Never mind.

TIM GRUNTS

This is stupid.

Lucy's not even over this way.

Come on, big fella.

GRUNTS

BINKLEBONK: Well, I'm enjoying it!

Never been on the brink of freezing to death before.

Tim, think of this as an adventure.

Besides, the mountain said he'd help us.

You said this isn't supposed to be an adventure, remember?

Oh, he's got you there. You did say that.

Ugh. Exactly.

I was just trying to get you to listen to me.

Oh, so you're tricking me.

Not tricking - just gentle manipulation.

GRUNTS, CRASH

Are you two gonna squabble the whole way?

Uh, this is impossible. We're never gonna get there.

Oh, we're here. RUSTY GRUNTS

TINKLING Ooh, look at these.

They're so shiny. They're beautiful.

Listen up. I've got eyes on the mountain's shaver.

Let's pull it out of his disgusting ear

and get it back to him. Ew, that is so gross.

Grab hold.

RUSTY GRUNTS

Don't put it in your mouth, Rusty.

RUSTY, ROSE GRUNT

Bit of a weird day, huh?

ENCHANTING MUSIC

Whoa! You did it! I assumed you'd run off with it again,

and yet, here you are -

some of the most honest thieves I've ever encountered.

We're not thieves.

To be fair, I did steal one of those shiny yellow rocks.

I thought it might come in handy.

All right, I'll fess up. Maybe I stole a rock or two as well.

RUSTY: Yeah, I stole a few. They seemed so nice.

Fine. You caught me.

Why is everyone stealing rocks all of a sudden?

Guys, maybe just put them down.

Uh... Well, I'm not worried about that.

You've just taken bits of my earwax.

I do appreciate the cleanse, though.

Everything sounds so crisp and clear now.

So, you said you'd help us.

I'll show you the way to Badjelly's castle,

but on one very important condition.

OK. What is it?

Well, you have to put in a good word for me.

Well, you know, tell her... tell her that you've never seen

a more handsome mountain, you know.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Say "majestic" -

majestic mountain. Or, no, "dapper", I think.

So... What do you guys think?

I think she's not very nice.

She kidnapped our friend.

Kidnap?

No, I'm sure it's just a prank, a lark, a cheeky goof.

Like that time she destroyed my village.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Some of them are seriously elaborate.

I don't know where, you know, she finds the time, quite frankly.

Oh, can we move on from the Badjelly admiration

and get back to the directions? No problem.

You just head down that pass over there,

across that stone bridge,

and you'll find my pretty bird

perched on highest peak in her castle.

ROSE: Thanks. That's brilliant.

MYSTERIOUS MUSIC

This whole thing is starting to lose a bit of its lustre,

if I'm honest.

None of this is child safe.

It's not even really adult safe.

I've had three splinters since we've been here.

Oh, and the kids are missing too. That's also an issue.

Well, at least someone's enjoying themselves.

Look! Now she's "Icybum".

MIAOWS Sorry. Not the time for jokes.

No. Come on.

Let's keep moving.

GRUNTS

Ooh. Ow!

Oh! It's Tim's.

This is bad.

We have to find them. They could really be hurt.

Tim! Rose!

We're coming for you.

Before we carry on,

I'll go get our trousers back from those creeps.

GRUNTS

WIND HOWLS

SOMBRE MUSIC

THUNDEROUS FOOTSTEPS

DULBOOT SNIFFS

Come on, Dulboot. Stop your blubbering.

Sorry, Mum. What?

Did you just call me Mum? GLUMLY: Oh, yeah, I did.

It's OK. It... happens.

Look, we're only one ingredient away

from getting me a nice confidence boost.

Mental health is just as important

as physical health, you know. HE SNIFFLES

Yeah, I know. You're right.

You know it. HE SNIFFS

We're almost there.

Oh, I hope that blockhead isn't going to be weird.

I'm here!

I'm here. You don't need to... GASPS

What the...?

What have you done to your face? Don't it make me look younger?

Younger than what - an old potato?

You look insane. Insanely handsome.

What on earth possessed you?

Wait. My spell!

The whisker of a mountain. What have you done?

Whisker of a mountain?

The vital ingredient I needed for my spell.

Oh, forget it.

I'll never get my confidence back, or my magic.

This whole thing is falling apart,

and neither of you are helping me.

Oh, my sweet, sweet angel, tell me what you need.

I wanted that beard of yours!

To nuzzle in? No!

Not to nuzzle in you, you mountainous moron.

Between you and those grubby kids,

I'm having just about the worst day you can imagine.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Those kids were a nightmare.

Bunch of thieves they were.

Wait, you've seen them?

Two kids a boy and a girl - one short, the other shorter?

Yeah, I sure did. They were looking for your castle.

I sent them your way.

CHUCKLES Get right out of town!

Look at you - not a complete idiot after all.

Oh, stop it.

So, they're heading right to me, hey?

What a fantastic turn of events.

Wait, do they still have those do-gooders following them?

Their cute little friends and that tin lion?

Yes, those fellas. Yeah, they really seemed

like a solid little team, if you ask me.

Tell you what -

you separate them from their friends, and I'll...

Go on a date with me? Excuse me.

Don't you use your power to manipulate me into dating you.

Typical. Oh, no, no, no, no,

I didn't mean to imply, you know...

Look, we just wouldn't work.

Honestly, I'm out of your league.

Look, hang in there, buddy.

You know, there's plenty more hills in the...

There's plenty more...

uh, in the... in the hilly area.

GROANS: Oh! Um...

Oh, sorry. You deserve better.

UNSETTLING MUSIC

So cold.

I can't feel my tail.

We've got to be close, right?

Are we definitely going the right way?

I guess. He said this way.

Hard to tell, though. This storm is crazy.

Oh, my head is hurting. I need to rest.

No, no, no, we can't rest here. We have to keep going.

Ugh, why? We don't even know where we're going.

Oh, this whole thing is stupid.

OMINOUS MUSIC

Wait, what's that up ahead?

OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES

This is it. Look!

DARK, MAJESTIC MUSIC

I guess we've got to go across.

TIM: How?

Um... I'm scared.

Do all bridges look this crumbly?

If we all just go one at a time, we can do this.

OK. Watch me.

Uh...

Oh, OK.

TENSE STRING MUSIC

CREAKING, RUMBLING

Whoa!

Tim, once I'm across,

you follow.

Be careful.

Look, I can't cross that bridge in heels.

Look, the further we go, the more I'm becoming very aware

of my poor choice in travel shoe.

It's OK. I'll look after you and your pretty shoes.

Oh. Oh, thank you.

TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES

I'm doing OK.

Right. Time for Operation Splitsy-Upsy.

DEEP RUMBLING

EXHALES It's all right, Tim. Your turn.

It's not too bad once you get past halfway.

Huh?

All right. SIGHS

My turn.

MUDWIGGLE: Good luck. See you over there.

TENSE STRING MUSIC CONTINUES

Uh...

This is actually pretty fun. Whoo!

Come on.

LOUD RUMBLING

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Tim, run now!

Run!

DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES

Uh, this isn't good. Come on, Tim!

TIM YELLS

EXHALES I've got you.

GRUNTING

TRIUMPHANT MUSIC

Oh, Tim.

I thought I was going to lose you.

The others!

Oh, I haven't caused an avalanche in ages.

It felt really good.

Oh, Badjelly will be so happy with me.

Yeah, I was right. I thought it seemed crumbly.

What do we do now?

We'll have to find another way.

We can't leave those two alone.

Wait. Where's Dinglemouse?

Dinglemouse!

She was right there... wasn't she?

I don't know.

MOURNFUL MUSIC

The avalanche.

Tell me she's not... Not what?

Mudwiggle? Binklebonk? Oh, no.

It can't be.

What do we do now?

We... We keep moving. It's what she would've wanted.

We'll catch up with the kids

and get this witch before she hurts anyone else.

What? Where are they going?

Guys, wait!

They must be trying to find a way around.

Or just leaving us. They wouldn't do that.

How are we supposed to do this on our own?

By being brave, like you always are.

For Lucy.

DARK ORCHESTRAL MUSIC

Don't worry.

Soon we'll be wrapped up with Lucy with a hot cocoa.

How do you know? I just know. Come on.

EXHALES It's too hard.

I'm scared.

I am too.

I just want Mum and Dad.

I want to be home!

Soon, Tim. It's going to be OK.

Stop saying that! It's not going to be OK.

Tim... This is your fault.

We shouldn't have gone this way. It's your fault I got hurt.

What? You wanted to go

this stupid way, and now we're stuck

and we're never going to find Lucy.

This is not my fault. Yes, it is.

Oh, yeah? Well, who left the gate open, Tim?

This whole thing is your fault. You're the reason we're here,

and you're the reason that we're never going to get home.

Tim.

MELANCHOLY MUSIC

Tim. Tim, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to.

Tim.

CACKLING ECHOES

SINISTER MUSIC

Well, well,

look what we have here.

Just the ingredients

I was looking for.

Looks like old Badjelly's still got it.

I knew I'd find you. I had a good feeling about today.

Lucy. What are you saying? Our cow.

Her name's Lucy?

I had her pegged as more of a Daisy.

She's been great company.

Talked about you a lot -

she's super keen to see you two bubbling in a pot,

I can tell you. Ugh, witch!

HE SIGHS Pathetic.

You couldn't harm the mighty Badjelly -

meanest witch there ever was.

And with you two now in my grasp,

I'll be twice the witch I used to be.

DISCORDANT MUSIC

BOOM

WISTFUL MUSIC

Come on. Get in!

Get all nice and cosy with your cow friend.

DING

SLURPS

Oh... Oh, it does look very warm.

Rose, no!

What are you doing?

She's hopping in the sack, silly.

It's why you're here, isn't it? Besides, what's the alternative?

Die here on the mountain?

I hate you! Oh, boo-hoo!

Who cares?

Hurry up! Make your choice.

I know this seems crazy, but I don't know if we have a choice.

But she can't be trusted.

I know. That's why we have to stick together.

WISTFUL MUSIC

I can't believe they fell for that.

Now let's get that boy-girl on the boil.
