King Worm (episode)/Transcript

Princess Bubblegum: My king... (We see Finn's POV as he opens his eyes.) My king? (Lovingly) ...Wake up, husband.

Finn: (Small groan) What??

(Finn is revealed to be in the Candy Kingdom throne room and wearing a big crown.)

Banana Guards: Long live the king!

Finn: What... is... goin' on? (Finn's crown suddenly rises from his head.)

Princess Bubblegum: Hm. Not much.

Banana Guards (Whose bodies are upside-down now): Long live the king!

Finn: Huh?!?

(A crowned worm rises on Princess Bubblegum's shoulder.)

King Worm: Wowowowowowow...

Finn: Hey... do I know you? (Finn reaches for it, but it quickly escapes.) Hey... I know that guy!

(Princess Bubblegum's face appears in the back of her head.)

Princess Bubblegum: (To Peppermint Butler) He doesn't know he's dreaming.

Finn: Huh? (Dream shift) Huh??

(Finn is now sitting in front of Flame Princess.)

Flame Princess: Come on, honey. Eat your soup.

Finn: ...Huh...? Wait, wait, wait...

Flame Princess: EAT IT NOW!!!

(Finn cautiously does so and smiles.)

(Dream shift)

Finn: Mmm... hmm... What kind of—AAAH! How... did we get here? (Flame Princess now has three mouths and is muttering incomprehensibly.) Uh... I'm good on the soup. Huh? (The spoon is now King Worm.) You!

(Flame Princess is now Peppermint Butler.)

Peppermint Butler: You haven't much time, sir.

Finn: What??

(Peppermint Butler now has a tiny head jutting from his body.)

Second peppermint head: You are trapped in a dream.

Peppermint Butler: And you are in danger. (Finn scowls. Peppermint Butler's face get's scratched off. His hand starts talking.) You need to find this worm and break it.

Finn: Find the worm? But... you've got 'im right there! (Gasps)

(The worm is once again the spoon. Phil appears in Peppermint Butler's pants.)

Phil: Satori!

(Peppermint Butler throws the spoon at Finn, who is now in the library.)

Finn: Huh? Huh? Huh? (Finn notices Jake in a window in a bookshelf. He's struggling to wrap a present.) Jake?

(Next to him is Lady Rainicorn. She starts blowing tape out her "tape hole".)

Lady Rainicorn: (Speaking English; incredibly deep voice) Hold down the tape until it fully sticks to the paper.

Jake: Like this?

Lady Rainicorn: Yes, but now try holding it higher.

Jake: Like this?

Lady Rainicorn: You need more tape. (Dispenses more tape out of her hole.) Use this. (Jake takes the tape and wraps it around the present.) Now, tape the bottom.

(Jake does so.)

Jake: Who's it for?

Lady Rainicorn: Who's it for?

Jake: .....It's for... um...

(A transparent Finn glides in front of Finn saying, "It's for meeee!")

Lady Rainicorn: Play this.

Jake: (Taking viola) Uh... okay.

(Jake starts playing terribly. A music note comes out of the viola and becomes the worm.)

Finn: The worm! (Another transparent Finn glides across the real one saying, "The worm!" in an incredibly high-pitched voice. Finn tries to catch it but it goes into a mouse hole.) (Impatiently) Worm... worm... Woyyym! Worm!!

Jake: Finn! Aw, man, is it really you?

Finn: (Turns around) Jake? (Looks at mousehole) Yeah. I think so. (Feels himself) Yep.

Jake: I'm trapped in this dream, and I can't wake up!

Finn: Me, too! I was just in some other part of the dream with Princess Bubblegum and Flame Princess.

Jake: Make-out dreams? Nice...

Finn: What?! (Floats towards Jake) No, it wasn't like that!

Jake: Hey, I won't judge.

(Lady gapes at Finn making a deep noise.)

Finn: ...Lady's got two mouths...

Jake: Mm-hmm. I don't think she's real.

Finn: Weird... (He feels her "tape hole". Jake pinches him.) Ouch! What was that for?

Jake: Just wanted to make sure you were real. Our dreams must be linked for some reason.

Finn: Whoa... Well... Pep-but told me we gotta find that worm that crawled through that hole and break it. (Scratches head) (Speaking incredibly fast) In my dream— (Speaking normally) In my dream... suddenly, an unimaginably amazing sword appeared in front of me able to blast the hole open. (The sword appears.) Rad! (Laughs) I usually dream of messed-up stuff, like a shark tryina' bite off my face.

(The blade of the sword turns into a shark. The shark roars like a lion. Finn shrieks, and the air behind him begins to crack.)

Jake: Careful! If you grunk up the dreamscape with your subconscious fears, the whole thing'll blow apart!

Finn: Ohhh.

Jake: Just shrink down like me.

(The Shark Sword disappears.)

Finn: And then I shrunk down like Jake. (Does so)

(Finn and Jake enter the mouse hole. Scene shifts to a tunnel underground. As Finn and Jake talk, their voices echo as if they were in metal chambers.)

Finn: How do you know so much about dreams and stuff?

Jake: 'Cuz I sleep a lot.

Finn: Heh heh. Oh, yeah.

(Finn and Jake emerge from a hole in the ground, apparently normal size now. Ice King comes up to them after going in the opposite direction over a mountain.)

Ice King: Fionna, Cake, I need your help!

Finn: What??

Jake: What did you say??

Ice King: I really did it this time! They're loose, and they're coming for us!

Finn: Who?

(Quacks are heard from far away. A monster composed entirely of merged penguins appears.)

Finn and Jake: AAH!

(They both run away. Ice King simply runs in circles.)

(Dream shift.)

Finn: Dad??

(Joshua is seen sitting nearby.)

Jake: Help us!

(He says nothing. Jake and Finn look at each other.)

Finn: Maybe he's not really... real.

(Finn and Jake stop in front of him.)

Jake: Dad, are you okay?

(Joshua wordlessly opens a case and gets yarn and knitting needles out. He starts knitting a scarf.)

Finn: That scarf looks... familiar...

Jake: Yeah...

(The scarf turns into the full sized King Worm.)
