Transcripts - Forever Dreaming

- Morning.
Just came to get some milk.

- Oh, we don't have any.

- But you're a dairy farmer.

You need to have milk.

- Can't get milk without cows.

- Where are all the cows?

- Oh, asskill borrowed them.
Said you'd be fine with it.

- I'm not.
- Well, then let's go to w*r!

- That seems drastic.

Plus, you know,
we'd definitely lose.

- Well, that's what you said
when he borrowed all our goats!

- Still true today.

- Oh, hey, neighbor!
How's life?

- Milkless.

- Funny, we used to have
that problem.

- Did you really need
to borrow all our cows?

Could we get maybe
a couple back?

- I would, but
we're grilling steaks tonight.

- Steaks?
Like cow steaks?

- Well, we can't eat goats.

Again.

While I'm here, we should
also take these chickens.

- Oh, come on.
- I only need them for...

Ever.
- What are we supposed to eat?

- Try people.
We used to eat it all the time

Before we got so good
at farming.

- Taking all our livestock
isn't farming.

- All I know is
we're good at it.

[chickens clucking]
- why didn't you stop him?

- He's just so big.

[mysterious upbeat music]

♪ ♪

- Whoo!

- Good morning, family.

- If you're looking for milk,

It's being eaten by selectively
progressive cannibals.

- No need.
I drink pegasus milk.

- Where'd did you get that?

- From its udder.

How amazing is the udder?

Multiple boobs
shaped like wieners.

Genius.

- Hold up. Does our family
have a pegasus somewhere?

- Your mother and her husband
have a pegasus somewhere.

And it will remain that way.

- Good call, my goddess.

What's cracking
in current events?

Written language
continues to be delayed,

If that's what
this drawing means.

Ah, my father died.

Oh, no! Sandals cost 20 olives
a pair now!

I myself never wear the things,
but if inflation gets invented,

It could lead
to inventing recession.

- Excuse me?
Your father died?

We have a grandfather?

Did you ever plan
on telling us that?

- No. And now you don't have
one, so problem solved.

This sandal news though,
it's got me feeling feelings.

- Can we get back
to the pegasus?

- No.

- Is my grandfather
going to have a funeral?

- In the sense that his death
will be celebrated,

Yes, probably by thousands.

He was what monsters call
"a monster's schmuck."

- I want to at least
see him buried.

- Have a blast.
He lived that way, persia-ish.

- I want to see the pegasus.

- No.

- Dad, I mean, I think
the two of us should go.

Was grandpa really so bad?

- He was fine.

And I say that not
because it's true

But because judging others
was his gimmick.

And I am the opposite of him,
and therefore, mm, the coolest.

- I agree.
Tyrannis, don't be a nag.

- Very well.

I'll just be
a third generation of sons

To quietly resent their father.

Or will I be the fourth?

I don't suppose refusing
to attend a father's funeral

Is something your father
would have done.

- You majestically crafty
son of a bitch.

Game on.

Get ready to attend

The living crap out of
a dead control freak's burial

With his
impressively ambivalent son.

Deliria, be a dear and milk
you-know-what while I'm gone.

- Of course.

- Pegasus!
- Totally.

She's going to
milk the pegasus.

[tyrannis struggling]

- Could I interest you
in a saddle?

- You're lucky
to be riding me at all.

- Phrase that differently
in public.

Both:
Pegasus! Pegasus! Pegasus!

- You will never be near it.

Both: [whining] why?

- Because then you'll want
to ride it, which you can't.

- Why?

- The actual answer to that

Is incredibly long
and complicated.

If you seek out this beast,
you will regret it.

Promise you will not do it.

Both: We promise.

- How long before we do it?

- That felt long enough.

- Is this where you grew up?

Does this mean I'm persian?

Is that a race?

Do--do I have a race?

- Why do humans want
to have races?

- I don't know.

Seems cool, adds some flavor.
Is that bad?

- I can't imagine it
ever going wrong.

[crowd cheering]
well, there he is.

And he's technically
being buried. Happy?

- Everyone else certainly is.

Would you like
to stand by the body,

Maybe pay your disrespects?

- No. If those people really
understood the old bastard,

They'd realize taking a dump
on him is his final revenge.

When you hate a hater,
you spread their hate.

Now, here's how
you really defeat my dad.

Check this out.

Ah, dead dad.
No big whoop.

- That makes me proud
of you, dad.

See what's happening?
We're bonding.

We understand each other
better now.

Hey, disappointing dads club.

- That's not really
the sort of thing

That makes me want
to high five.

- Fair enough.

- Shlub!
- Belinda.

This is belinda,
my father's witch.

- You got fatter.

- Well, you're as ugly as ever.

- Is that any way
to speak to an ex-lover?

- Really, dad?

- What?
She's a witch ten!

And witch sex is the best sex.

I think being evil
makes them work harder...

- La-la-la-la-la!
- If that makes sense.

- Look, if you're not
going to listen--

- Thank you.
- What do you want, belinda?

- Well, you know how
I was responsible

For all your father's cursing.

- There's a taste
of the old man for you.

He outsourced curses.

- Now that he's gone,

I'm offering to remove them
at a discount.

I bet you've got a few.

- I'm sure I've got dozens,
but no, thank you.

- You're going to just accept
your father's curses?

- The point of cursing
is to assert power.

If I acknowledge his power,
he wins, son.

- Oh, are you his son?
I wonder if--

Oh, yeah,
looks like I cursed you

When you were still
in your mother's womb.

Isn't that adorable?

- I'm cursed?
With what?

- I don't keep records, kid.
No written language yet.

- Ah, I was just
not reading about that.

- Kindly remove my curse,
madam.

- Keep it, son.

Don't give him
the satisfaction.

- Dad, hear me on this.

Your need to not let your
father control and define you

Is controlling
and defining you.

- Ouch.
Sick burn, as the humans say.

You do you.

- Tell you what.
I'll do this one on the house

In return for when your dad
did me on the house.

Both: If chimneys could talk.

- Can you also remove this
conversation from my memory?

[ethereal shimmering sound]
- there you go.

You're curse-free.
- That's it?

I expected a bit more,
you know,

Light and magic,
a little showmanship.

- You want a show,
hire a clown.

- Have we had enough fun,
or would you like

To spoon the dead body
of your favorite new relative?

- Nah, we can go.

The nerve of the guy
that cursed your unborn child.

He never even met me.

- And yet, now,
you know him better than most.

But that does not make the

- For my son,

- Oh, where am I?

- The witch's house.

You'll be happy to hear
she's agreed to re-curse you.

- That's great.

I wasn't ready
for that kind of power.

And I really didn't
want to have to

Cut a tail hole
in all my togas.

- Unfortunately, witches
don't do anything for free.

- Not every father would

To help their son,

Well, what's left of it,
anyway.

- Turns out farming isn't
as easy as you made it look.

This is kind of on you.

- If you're giving up
on farming,

What are you going to eat?

- We're going back
to cannibalism.

It's the most efficient system.

People get old or sick,
we recycle them. Into meals.

back to normal.
