08x04 - Odd Frog Out

Post by bunniefuu »

[Gloria] Places!

[Gloria] Aw, Lala, do you really
have to hibernate all winter?

[Lala] Well froggies
are cold-blooded,

and it is that time of the year!

[Gloria] Oh. Right...

Well, a frog's gotta do
what a frog's gotta do.

But before you go.

Ta-Da!

Here are some treats for when
you get lonely under the ice.

A photo album of all
the fun times we've had,

a radio so you can play
our favorite songs.

♪ It's always you and me ♪

♪ Just how we used to be ♪♪

[Gloria] And a barrette in
case you grow some hair.

[Lala] Ooh, they might
get a little soggy.

But they'll remind me of you!

[crying]

[Melman] Good-byes
always make me cry.

[Alex] Don't take
it so hard, Melman.

It's just for the winter.

[Gloria] Winter
won't last forever!

It'll be spring
before you know it.

[Lala] I hope so.

It's going to be so boring
without my best friend.

Guess this is goodbye...

[Gloria] Let me walk
you to the door!

- [Lala] Well. This is me!
- [Gloria] One more hug!

[Lala] Oh. Okay. Well... bye!

[Gloria] See you soon!

[Lala] Bye!

[Gloria] Bye! You
peel away first...

- [Lala] No, you!
- [Gloria] No, you!

- [Lala] No, you...
- [Gloria] No, you!

[Gloria] No, you!

[both] No, you!

[Marty] This goodbye
might last til spring.

♪ It's a wild, wild world ♪

[Gloria] What a
glorious spring day,

the sun is shining, the
pigeons are squawking...

[squawk squawk]

and animals everywhere
are ready to play!

[giggles]

Including my favorite frog!

[girl] Thank you!

[Marty] How many
is that so far?

[Melman] I don't have
enough hooves to keep track!

[girl] Fresh squeezed
lemonade! Only costs a smile!

[Carlos] Just one?
How about three?

You can keep the change!

[boy] Here ya go!

[Carlos] Mmm, delicious!

At this rate you're gonna
have the whole city smiling!

[Melman] Imagine, making
the whole city smile!

I bet I could do that with
my famous lemonade recipe.

[Alex] Famous? I've
never heard of it.

[Melman] That's because
no-one knows about it yet!

[Marty] But then
it's not famous...

[Melman] Huh?

[Marty] Never mind. I'm in.

Let's make a lemonade stand
for your not-yet famous,

famous lemonade!

[Gloria] Oh, yeah!

[Alex] Gloria! Want to make
a lemonade stand with us?

[Gloria] Sounds
fun, but I can't.

After months of waiting,
winter has ended!

And you know what that means!

[blinking]

Hibernation is over!

It's spring...

Lala...

[all] Oh!

- [Alex] Right!
- [Marty] Got it!

- [Alex] I knew that!
- [Gloria] Have fun with the lemons.

I've got BFF memories to make!

Lala!

Oh, Lala!

Are you ready to spend
time with your best friend?

[Lala] Gloria!

You're here just in time!

[Gloria] I've missed
you so much, Lala!

[giggles]

But don't worry. I've
got everything we need

for the ultimate best friends'
tea party celebration.

- [Lala] Gloria!
- [Gloria] Our friendship necklaces so we can look fancy,

- some springtime flowers for the table!
- [Lala] Gloria!

- [Gloria] And of course your favorite teacup...
- [Lala] Gloria!

- [Gloria] What?
- [Lala] We're gonna need a few more teacups!

[gasps]

[Alex] Here ya go! A
bag of my finest sugar.

[Melman] Thanks,
but I don't need it.

- [Marty] You have your own sugar?
- [Melman] Nope.

My famous lemonade recipe
doesn't need sugar.

- Just lemons.
- [Alex] Uhh, Melman.

That's not lemonade,
that's just lemon juice.

[Melman] Call it whatever
you want, I call it perfect.

- [Lala] Meet Lily and Ribberta, my new hibernation besties!
- [Gloria] Your what, now?

[Lala] We met during hibernation
and we had the best time!

- [Lily] Hello there!
- [Ribberta] What's hanging, hippo?

[Gloria] Oh, hi.

Nice to meet you.

I guess hibernation wasn't
so boring after all?

[Ribberta] Boring? No way! It
was like one big slumber party!

[Lily] Oh! We had so much fun. We
played trivia games, made pottery.

[Ribberta] There
was mud wrestling.

[Lily] And water polo!

[Ribberta] Played
hide and seek!

[Lily] And pin the
tail on the tadpole!

[Ribberta] And kickball!
And ghost stories!

[Lala] Oh, my gosh, Ribberta
tells the spookiest ghost stories.

[Ribberta] I was voted 'spookiest
amphibian' by my peers.

[Lala] Oh, it was so much fun.
I wish you could've been there!

[sighs]

[Gloria] Yeah, me too.

[growling]

[Lala] Hibernation really
works up an appetite!

Why don't we grab a bite?

[Gloria] Great idea! Well,
it was good meeting you two.

[Lala] Ribberta and Lily have been
telling me about the greatest spot.

- C'mon!
- [Gloria] I'm right behind ya!

[sighs]

[Gloria] Lala, where are we?

[Lala] We're approximately


of the Central Park Pond.

[Gloria] It's a little
buggy, dontcha think?

[Lala] Yeah!

Which makes it the
perfect snack spot!

[Ribberta] Oh, baby,
love that crunch!

[Lala] We've been
dreaming of fresh flies

all hibernation long!

[Gloria] And I've been dreaming of
spending time with my best friend alone.

[Lily] Gloria! After you!



[Gloria] Cheers!

Maybe we shouldn't
eat any more flies.

We should, uh,
save 'em for later.

- Don't want them going extinct!
- [Lala] Hmm.

Good thinking, Gloria!

[Ribberta] Hey! How about
we digest over a classic

hibernation sing-a-long?

The vibes are just right.

[Lala] We did so many
sing-alongs during hibernation.

[Gloria] I love to
sing too! Let's do it!

♪ Ribbet ♪

♪ Ribbet ♪

♪ Ribbet ♪

♪ Ribbet ♪♪

[Lily] Oh! Your ribbet really
stands out in a crowd, huh?

[Gloria] How am I ever gonna
fit in with these frogs?

[Lala] Oh, it feels so good to
get some leaps in these legs!

Are you, girls, thinking
what I'm thinking?!

[Lily] Yes, yes, yes!

- [Ribberta] Duh!
- [Gloria] Sure!

[Lala] Say it with me!

- [all] Leap frog disco!
- [Gloria] ...isco?

Woohoo! I love
leapfrog, and disco!

[Lala] Yeah!

Frogs are expert leapers, we
can jump as high as a city bus!

You still in? No
pressure, of course!

[Gloria] Uh, yeah!

That's perfect, because
hippos can leap as high

as the fountain in Central Park!

[Lala] Great idea!

Then tonight we'll leap the
fountain to awesome disco tunes!

[Gloria] I must have
a fly in my ear.

Did you say leap
over the fountain?

[Lala] Yep! You can
show us your moves!

We're gonna have the best time!

[Gloria] Well, I better
go, uh, stretch and snack.

Can't leap on an empty
stomach. See you later bye!

[Lala] Oh! Okay.
See you tonight!

[Lily] Well I didn't realize
she was still hungry!

I could've shared
my leftover flies.

[Gloria] I don't know
what I got myself into!

[Melman] Sip and
spill it, sister!

[spits it out]

I said spill it, not spit it!

[Gloria] Melman, this
lemonade is super sour.

[Melman] Thank you! Now
let's see that smile.

I'll take it!

[Marty] Go ahead, Gloria,
tell us what's bothering you!

[Gloria] Lala made new
friends during hibernation.

They eat flies
together, and ribbet,

and they like all the same
stuff and I just don't fit in.

[Melman] You and Lala have
always been different,

it doesn't mean you
can't be friends!

[Gloria] But what are they going to think
when I can't leap like the rest of them?

[Marty] Of course you can, Glo! You're
the only animal I know who can slam dunk

on the court and grand
jeté on the stage.

[Alex] Yeah! You're a natural
leaper. Show us what you've got!

[Gloria] Hmm.
Maybe you're right!

Okay, hooves, you can do this.

So, what do you think?

- [Marty] You're a natural!
- [Melman] Such grace!

[Alex] That was awesome!

[Gloria] So, you think I can
make it over the fountain?

- [Melman] Well...
- [Marty] The fountain?

[Alex] Not a chance.

We were gonna go
sell some lemonade.

[Marty] Or at least
try to sell some...

[Alex] Why don't you
come with us instead?

[Gloria] No thanks. I really
need to practice this leap.

[Marty] I'm sure we can find lots of
places for you to practice in the city!

[Melman] You got this, Glo.

If anyone can leap to
new heights, it's you.

[Gloria] You're right.
I can't give up yet!

Time to turn lemons
into lemonade!

[all] Yeah! Lemonade!



[groans]



[cheering]

[Melman] You must be tired
from all that leaping, Gloria,

would you like a
delightful refreshment?

[Alex] Take as much as you
want. We have plenty leftover.

[Marty] Are you sure you
don't wanna add some sugar

to your famous recipe, Melman?

[Melman] My recipe is
perfect just the way it is,

thank you very much.

[Gloria] Thanks, Melman, but it's
gonna take more than this to help me.

- [Lala] Gloria!
- [Gloria] Huh?

Oh! Hi, Lala! And, everyone.

You know Lala and
her new friends.

- [Lily] Hi there!
- [Ribberta] Sup.

[Melman] Hi! Would you
like some lemonade?

[Lala] Oh! That sounds delish!

But we just came by get a
look-see at the fountain again.

You're still gonna be
here tonight, right, Glo?

[Gloria] Oh, yeah!
Wouldn't miss it!

Just came by here to
check out the spot too.

Heights good, air speeds
fine, legs ready to leap!

[Lala] Awesomesauce!

We can't wait to see
your leap be goodness!

Be seeing you later!

[Gloria] Bye!

I'm never gonna be able to clear
that fountain like the frogs...

[Alex] Leaping over that
fountain can't be the only way

you can have fun with
Lala and her friends.

[Marty] Maybe you could give
the flies another chance?

[Melman] Yeah! Did you try
one with a twist of lemon?

[Gloria] There's no point in trying
anymore. I'm flunking out at fitting in.

[Melman] Cheer up, Glo.
You tried your best.

[Gloria] Woulda been
better if I had frog legs.

[Marty] Well, it's not like you can
just grow a pair of frog legs overnight.

[Gloria] That's it!

[Alex] Ah, hey, careful where
you're throwing those jewels!

[Gloria] Sorry, Alex. I gotta work fast
if I'm gonna fit in at the disco tonight!

[Marty] Watch it with
the lost and found items!

[Gloria] Ha! There!
That should do it.

Now excuse me while I prepare
for a fun evening with froggies.

[welding]

My creation it's finished!

Ha, ha, ha!

[Alex] What are those?

[Gloria] Say so
long hippo hooves,

and hello to my super
springy frog legs!

With these babies on my feet, I'll
be exactly like Lala's new friends.

[Marty] Do you think
they'll actually work?

[Gloria] Only one way
to find out! Oops!

Time for a test run!

Woah! Did you see that?

[all] Woah!

[Gloria] You know, I bet,
with a little adjustment

to these puppies, I could leap
all the way into Bill's habitat.

- [all] What?
- [Gloria] Disco leap, here I come!

Hi, Bill.

[Bill] Hi, Gloria!

[Gloria] Bye, Bill.

[Bill] Thanks for hopping by!

[Marty] How'd your legs work?

[Gloria] I faceplanted.

[Melman] Face plant?

[Gloria] Hi, Melman!

I need a higher leap!

I'll bet more of these
will do the trick!



There! That's perfect!

[Melman] I love
running on all fours!

[Alex] Not me!

[giggles]

[Pickles] The toll
is double today.

We saw you sneak out
earlier without payment.

[Dave chattering]

[Melman] We're
terrible sneakers?

But, Dave, I'm not
even wearing shoes!

[Gloria] Ta da! The finest
lemonade in New York City.

[Melman] It's sure
to make you smile!

[croaking]

[Pickles] Water!

Please! You can use the
tunnels, just help us!

[Gloria] There's more
where that came from!

[Pickles] Phew.

[Gloria] Let's get leaping!

[screaming]

- [Melman] Huh?
- [Marty] Ooh...

[Gloria] Oh!

[gasps]

Wow..

[frogs cheering]

[Melman] Wow!

[Alex] Woah! Looks awesome!

We're gonna go set up and
find an unsuspecting passerby,

I mean, future happy
lemonade customer.

[Melman] Good luck, Gloria!

[Gloria] Thanks.
I'm gonna need it.

[Lala] Gloria! You made it!

Come leap with us!

[cheering]

[Ribberta] Hey! Hop on into the
leap line, the water's just fine!

[Lily] Are you coming?

[Gloria] Uh, yup!
Be right there!

[Ribberta] Wow! I'm
psyched to see your leap!

Peace out!

[Gloria] I'll be lucky if I leap
two inches! But I gotta try.

I need all the spring I can get

if I'm gonna get
over that fountain!

[Lala] C'mon, Gloria,
time to bounce!

[Gloria] You go ahead, I'll hop
on over soon! Just about ready.

There!

[spring sound]

[gasps]

[screaming]

[Ribberta] Wow! She cleared the
fountain and is still going!

[Lily] That's the froggiest
hippo I've ever met!

[Lala] Woohoo! Gloria,
you're doing it!

[crashing]

[Lala] Gloria? Gloria?

Hello? Gloria?

[Lily] Where'd she go?

[Ribberta] And what are these?

[Gloria] So much
for fitting in!

At least no one will
look for me up here.

Or look for me at all.

I'm sure Lala won't,

she'll be too busy
with her frog friends.

[sniffs]

Guess it's the
treehouse life for me.

Better make myself comfortable.

[Ant'ney] If you're gonna stay,
maybe you can pick up some bagels?


- We're running low.
- [Gloria] Yeah, sure. Wait...

- Ant'ney?
- [Ant'ney] Welcome to my nest, roomie!

Though I gotta admit, you're
bringing down the mood just a smidge.

[Gloria] Sorry, Ant'ney.

I didn't mean to
crash your place,

guess my frog legs
worked a little too well.

[Ant'ney] Frog legs?

[sighs]

[Gloria] It's a long story.

But I guess I have all
night to fill you in.

[Ant'ney] Oh!
You're staying here?

[Gloria] I can't go down
there and face the music.

[Ant'ney] Aw, don't worry,
disco's easy, lemme show ya.

Yeah!

[humming]

- [Gloria] It's not that.
- [Ant'ney] Huh?

[Gloria] Lala has a new
group of frog friends

and there's no
room for me in it!

I'm nothing like
Lily or Ribberta.

[Ant'ney] Lala is one
of your best friends!

You're two peas in a
pod, very different peas,

and maybe an oddly shaped
pod, but peas nonetheless.

[Gloria] I love peas!
But Lala likes flies.

[Ant'ney] My point is,
real friends like you

just the way you are.

You don't need to change
yourself just to fit in.



[Gloria] Those frog legs
would be hard to dance in.

- [Ant'ney] I'll take your word for it.
- [Lala] Gloria?

Try searching for her over
there. I'll look over here!

My best friend is
nowhere to be found!

Did she disappear? Did
she get stuck in a cloud?

Did she leap to the moon?

[Gloria] I think that's
my cue. Thanks, Ant'ney!

[Ant'ney] But seriously, we are
running dangerously low on bagels!

[Lala] Aw! Huh?

[Gloria] Lala!

[Lala gasps]

[Lala] Gloria! I
was so worried.

I thought I'd need an
astronaut to find you!

[Gloria] Didn't quite make it
to the moon, but maybe one day!

[giggles]

[Lala] Then what were
you doing up in the tree?

[Gloria] I knew I couldn't
leap like your new friends,

so, I made these frog
legs to try and fit in.

You're all so alike, with
the flies and the singing.

I didn't wanna
lose my best friend

just because my leaps
are more like jetés.

- [Gloria] Ta-da!
- [Lala] Gloria!

[Ribberta] Lala, you didn't tell us
your pal was a real life ballerina?

[Lily] That jeté
was so elegant!

I've never seen
anything like it!

[Lala] That's my best
friend, a true original!

- [Gloria] Thanks, Lala.
- [Lala] I love our differences.

You introduced me to five
of my new favorite things:

dancing, tea parties,
and counting!

[Gloria] Uh, isn't that three?

[Lala] Okay, so the counting didn't
stick, but that doesn't matter!

We're not best friends because
we like the same things.

We're best friends because,
well, we like each other!

[Ribberta] Well, I know one
thing we all have in common,

we know how to move and groove.

[Lala] Whaddya think,
Gloria? Ready to fly?

[giggles]

[Gloria] These hooves
were made for it!

[gasping]

[screaming]

[yawn]

[Marty] Melman,

maybe it's time
to close up shop.

[Alex] Or, you know,
add some sugar.

[Melman] There's gotta
be someone out there

who appreciates my lemonade
just the way it is.

[Murray] Millie,
you gotta see this!


[Millie] Oh, thank you,
Murray! Just what I needed!

[gulping]

[gasping]

Ah, a perfectly sour lemonade,

just how I like it, 'cause
I'm sweet enough as it is!

Murray, don't you agree?

[Murray] Whatever makes
you happy, Millie.

[Melman] Woohoo! Finally,
a happy customer!

[Millie] So, I'm not
sweet enough as it is?


[Murray] Millie!

[Alex] Maybe just
"a customer."

[Millie] Did you
just call me a lemon?
