02x36 - Every Little Bit Alps

Post by bunniefuu »

This is me, eliza thornberry.

Part of your average family.

I got a dad, a mom, and a sister.

There is donnie-- we found him.

And darwin? He found us.

(Jabbering )

Oh, yeah, about our house-- it moves.

'Cause we travel all over the world.

You see, my dad hosts this nature show

And my mom sh**t it.

Okay, so we're not that average.

(Panting )

And between you and me

Something amazing happened...

And now I can talk to animals.

It's really cool

But totally secret.

And you know what?

Life's never been the same.

(Darwin whimpering )

Debbie: whoa, we are so not low.

(Hooting fearfully )

Everything's so bright!

I can't believe mom and dad

Let us ride the gondola

While they drove the commvee.

They're like verging on cool.

And we're going to stay in an actual swiss chalet.

I am too psyched!

We are hanging by a thread!

(Laughing )

I can't wait to take a real hot bath.

You think they've got a tanning lamp?

I don't know, they probably don't have that kind of stuff.

I bet they do.

Anything to impress ben's little girlfriend.

(Kissing )

Debbie, ben is just a friend.

(Hooting and yelling )

(Screams )

(Screeching)

(Whimpering )

Darwin...

Come on. I smell cable tv.

Oh... (Jabbering and laughing )

Yah... Ooh!... Ow!

(Donnie jabbering excitedly )

Debbie: yes! A house that's not on wheels!

My commvee days are over!

Deb, we're only staying two days.

A dose of reality is not what I need right now.

Welcome, young thornberrys.

Had a thrilling ride, I trust?

Girls, you remember ben's father?

Sure. Uh, hi, mr. Adams.

Please, call me hayden.

Ben will be right out.

I know he's looking forward to seeing you.

Hey, eliza.

Hey, ben.

"Hey, ben."

I brought you something.

It's from nova scotia.

I hope you like it.

Yeah... I do... It's a scarf, right?

Uh-huh.

Thanks... Thanks a lot.

Yeah, that's great, group hug.

Now could we go inside?

I want to see my winter wonderland!

Lot of... Rocks.

(Laughs ) that's because I'm a geologist.

Every one of my fossilized friends has his own special story to tell.

Nigel: a fascinating field of study.

Hayden: I have slides, too.

Eliza, you want to see the game room?

Yeah!

Wait! Video games?

Home entertainment center?

Oh, I'm there! Ooh!

I'm so happy you're visiting.

Ben doesn't get to spend much time with his pals with our traveling around.

It's the same with the girls

And since the ibex are rutting nearby...

We thought, why not film the ibex

And k*ll two birds with one stone?

(Laughs ) not literally, of course.

Thanks so much for your hospitality.

The girls are just crazy to be here.

Debbie: where's the stereo?

Where's the air hockey?

Don't mind debbie, she's into stuff.

Am not.

Where's the tv?

This is our vacation place.

There isn't one.

How can you have a vacation without tv?

What planet are you people from?

Uh!

(Sighs )

(Sighs )

Ah...

Move it, monkey!

(Shrieks, grunts )

(Jabbering and laughing )

Marianne: eliza, come down!

Coming!

Later, hayden's going to show us all how to make swiss fondue.

Excellent.

(Donnie grunting )

Easy, donnie.

Your father tells me you know how to rock climb.

Mm-hmm.

Really?

And rig a sailboat?

And scuba dive?

Do it all the time.

Whoa...

I see a love of the outdoors

Runs in the family.

Debbie: is there a phone line around?

I need to call my pen pals.

Actually, we don't have a phone inside.

You're joking, right?

But there's an emergency phone out back.

My social lifeis an emergency.

Swiss cheese crunchies?

(Gasps )

Oh, darwin's never had those.

Oh... Oh...

I'm still blown away that you have a chimpanzee.

That is just so cool.

So, hayden, where is the best area

To search for the elusive alpine ibex?

Anywhere is fine.

Just avoid the avalanche zones.

Avalanche?! Avalanche?!

Nothing to be concerned with.

The areas are clearly marked.

(Whimpering )

Ooh... (Laughing )

(Grunting )

Aah!

(Gulping and panting )

So eliza, you going filming with your folks?

No...

They're on their own this time.

All right! Then put your coat back on.

I'll show you around.

Okay, and you can put on your new scarf.

Um... Sure.

Wow, this place is awesome!

Yeah, switzerland's got a lot of cool places.

Plus the best skiing in the world.

I love to ski!

All right!

I should have guessed

You're into snow stuff.

You name it, I do it.

(Man yelling )

Snowboarding.

It's so much fun.

Well, actually...

But why am I telling you?

I mean, you do everything.

You probably snowboard better than me.

Uh... I don't know about that.

Because it took me a while to get it.

At first, I wiped out like you wouldn't believe.

Were you the same way?

Um, yeah, at first, but that was a long time ago.

Wait till you see the vertical drops around here.

Vertical... Drops?

Yeah, they are really wild.

Let's get our boards, I'll show you.

Uh... Can't we look at rocks first or something?

I really like... Rocks.

Don't worry, we'll have time for that later.

I'll make sure.

Uh, ben... One thing...

I can't believe I have a friend to board with!

Yeah... (Laughs nervously )

Isn't it great?

Darwin, I have to learn to snowboard.

You're talking crazy talk.

How hard can it be?

Man: look out!

(Screaming )

(Screaming and yelling... )

I am in big trouble.

Great. Ben thinks I can snowboard.

What am I going to do?

Why did you tell him you could do it?

I, I didn't mean to, really.

It's just complicated.

Well, this snow with a board thing looks just plain nasty.

Ow!

(Laughing )

(Hooting )

(Jabbering )

Hey, ibex!

My dad wants to meet you.

Quiet, he might hear us!

(Snorting )

Where are you?

You can't hide forever.

Come out, coward.

It's time to lock some horn!

(Gasps )

(Pants, sighs )

Boy, that was close this time.

He's been trying to butt my head for a week.

That's why you're hiding from him?

Wouldn't you? He's huge!

Well, you have to fight him sometime, right?

Whose side are you on, anyway?

I'm just saying you got to deal with that big ibex guy at some point.

You have to get out there and bump heads.

Go on, you can't put him off forever.

Oh, you're right.

I've got to do it.

I've got to.

Debbie: yes, all right!

Mission accomplished.

I'm finally going to hook up with my pen pals. (Laughs )

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Debbie, what do you know

About snowboarding?

I know my friends are experts.

Look, can I come along and get some tips?

Yeah, right, that's going to happen.

Deb, I'm serious.

I need your help.

Why don't you ask yourfriend for help?

Make sure you guys board the really tough slopes.

Debbie!

The ones with the jumps.

Eliza loves them.

Me, too.

Hey, where's your board?

Okay, ben, the thing is...

I can't find it.

I think it's lost.

Darn, this is like the fifth time.

That stinks.

Tell me about it.

So much for snowboarding today, I guess.

Yeah, too bad.

What is it with me and my snowboards anyhow?

I mean, it's like I'm cursed.

Well, you know, my old board's in my room

And it should be just about your size.

Come on, let's go see.

Did you tell him?

(Sighs )

(Darwin hooting... )

Wow, I can't believe how well my old board fits you.

Oh... Me neither.

We are so lucky.

That's one word for it.

(Chattering and grunting )

(Snowboarders whooping and laughing... )

(Gasps )

Uh, ben, I want to start on a little slope first.

You know, just to warm up.

Makes sense-- it's a new board for you.

(Laughs nervously )

You could say that.

(Whimpering )

When I pick up your broken bones

Should I glue them together

Or just put them in a box?

We are not helping.

Yah!

Follow the leader!

Huh? (Whimpering )

Darwin!

Oh...!

(Screeching )

Whoa... Oh...

Hey, this is kind of fun.

(Darwin screaming )

Dar, give me your hand.

Oh... Oh...

(Darwin screeching )

(Whimpering )

I did it, I really did it!

You sure did.

I've never seen anything like that before.

You're amazing!

(Screeching and hooting )

So, you want to go again?

Sure, it was fun. (Laughs )

Oh... Yah!

(Grunts )

(Bird calling )

Can you believe this wind?

It's terrible for the skin.

Skin? What about hair?

What I wouldn't give for a ski cap

That doesn't give me hat head.

Oh, you're right, deb.

Look-- I'm frizzing!

They should just enclose this whole place.

That would solve everything.

That's why, in the states

We put everything in malls.

That's brilliant!

Then you never have to deal with nature

Unless you really want to.

Who would want to?

Boy: hey, debbie!

Hi, jason.

You'll never believe what I just saw.

A girl boarding down the mountain with a monkey on her back.

(All laugh except debbie )

Did you say a monkey?

(Ibex snorting )

Beholdcapra ibex.

Normally, these ibex are much more aggressive

But apparently

The smaller buck is rather new at this.

(Laughing )

(Slap )

(Snorting )

(Yelps )

(Yelling and jabbering )

Oh, my!

Donnie!

I'll get him.

Nigel, maybe we should give hayden a hand.

Actually, love, I believe we have our own troubles.

Oh, no... He doesn't look happy.

(Snorting )

Nice ibex... (Chuckles nervously )

Easy, boy...

No need to bump heads with cousin nigel.

Run!

(Panting... )

(Whimpering )

You are going to love the ramps and the jumps.

Little ramps and little jumps, right?

Depends on what you call little.

Whoa...

(Crash )

(Whimpers )

Yahoo!... (Jabbering )

(Panting and laughing )

(Panting... )

Hayden, quickly!

(Snorting )

(All panting )

When we came to switzerland

I didn't think I'd end up being butted by an ibex.

Shoo! Are you listening?

Shoo, I say!

Nigel, he doesn't seem to be responding to "shoo!"

(Snorting )

Oh!

Oop!

(Yelps )

Oops... Happens to me a lot, too.

(Both grunt )

Come on, this is going to be fun!

There's got to be a way out of this.

Tell him you're allergic to snow!

Oh! Oh, I can't believe this... My binding's loose.

It looks okay to me.

No, I've got to fix it.

Go ahead, ben.

I'll meet you at the bottom of the run.

You sure?

Trust me, I'm extremely sure.

(Grunts )

See, now we just take a lift back down to the bottom.

Ben will never know the difference.

You're a genius! The perfect plan.

Nothing can go wrong...

(Donnie jabbering )

Ibex: I'm going to get you!

Whoa!

Hey, you were right.

This isn't so bad.

You're not supposed to hit my...

Whoa!

(Laughing, screaming, whimpering )

(Darwin screaming... )

(Laughing... )

(Screaming... )

Whoa...!

Whoa!

Whoa, you're follow the leader, huh? Okay!

(Screaming... )

Whoa!

(Screaming )

(Grunting )

(Donnie groaning )

So, are we still alive?

I think so.

Oh!

(Laughing )

Oh...

(Sighs )

Eliza, where did you go... Oh!

(Thud )

Oh...

Ben, are you all right?

I'm fine. How about you?

I'm okay, nothing major.

But where are we?

It's a fracture in the ice.

My dad told me about them.

They're almost impossible to see.

Did he tell you how to get out?

I wish.

(Both grunting... )

It's too slippery!

(Screeching and hooting )

(Jabbering )

(Laughs )

Well, I know one thing we can do.

Both: help!

Eliza: help!

Ben: get us out!

We're in here!

Help, we're stuck!

(Continue calling... )

(Ben and eliza calling in distance )

Debbie, do you hear something?

Nah. So tell me, can you really get my letter to the editor of teenage wasteland?

Help! Help! We're stuck! Get us out!

We're stuck in here!

Can anybody hear us?

(Rumbling )

This wouldn't be one of those avalanche zones

They were talking about, would it?

Oh!

Oh... Oh!

(Gasps )

Quick! Give me your scarf!

Eh... Here!

You have a belt?

Got it!

(Loud rumbling )

Ooh!

(Shrieks )

Quick, everybody up!

(Grunting... )

Whoa!

(Hooting and whimpering )

(Both panting )

We did it!

Yeah... Not by much.

You really can do anything.

About that, ben...

There's something I really should tell you.

Nigel: nice ibex...

Hey, isn't that...?

(Snorting )

(Snorts )

Uh-oh, this looks serious.

Buck, this is your chance.

I need you to bump heads with him now!

I, I don't know if I can!

Well, I know you can.

I saw you out there today.

You're the best I've seen in my entire life.

Really?

Really.

Now get out there

And show him how it's done.

(Snorting )

(Snorting... )

(Both snorting... )

Yahoo!

How do you like it now?!

(Cheering... )

Thanks... You did it.

Yeah, I guess I did.

Before I was scared to even try.

But now look at me.

I'll see you around!

(Owl hooting )

We did it, ben.

Maybe tomorrow we could just look at rocks?

I'm cool with that.

What happened here?

Oh... We had a little accident.

Don't worry, I'll get you another scarf just like that one.

Um...

Ben... I got to tell you something.

Today was the first day I'd ever really been on a snowboard.

Really? Why didn't you tell me?

I don't know.

I wanted to, but my brain wouldn't let me.

You know, you could tell me anything, eliza.

We're friends... Right?

Yeah... We're friends.

(Darwin burps )

(Sighs... )

(Growls )

Know what I can use right now?

A nice, hot bath.

I'm sore all over.

You're welcome to use the hot tub.

Hot tub?

But I'm afraid there's no hot water.

Oh...

So it's a cold tub.

Forget it, I'll just go shower in the commvee later.

I'm kind of starting to miss the place anyway.

Ladies and gentlemen, hayden and nigel's

Almost-famous swiss fondue! (Laughs )

Bon appetit!

Dip it in, it's very good. (Laughs )

Like it?

As long as we're being honest

I have a confession to make, too.

What is it?

You can tell me, no matter what it is.

I... Kind of, sort of, really hate that scarf.

(Both laughing... )

Darwin: you're talking crazy talk.
