SEQUENCE 3_01 - "MEDALLION"

3_01_01 EXT. OZ – BADLANDS - DAY

TIN OWL, STRAW BEAR, and TIN GIRL run for their lives through a strange, scary and desolate land. OS behind them, something thuds to the ground.

3_01_02 TIN OWL

    What? Stop? Where⿿s Woot?

3_01_03 TIN OWL, STRAW BEAR, and TIN GIRL look back.

3_01_04 GREEN MONKEY lies in an exhausted heap on the ground. TIN OWL flaps noisily back to land on the ground near WOOT⿿S outstretched arms.

3_01_05 TIN OWL looks concerned.

TIN OWL

    You all right, Woot?

3_01_06 STRAW BEAR

    Look⿦ He's⿦ Uh, face down in the⿦ In the mud⿦ Is he dead?

3_01_07 TIN OWL

    Woot, talk to us! Are you all right?

3_01_08 GREEN MONKEY looks up weakly.

GREEN MONKEY

    Yes⿦  I'm okay⿦

3_01_09 TIN OWL

    Well, come on⿦ We've⿦ We've got to get away⿦ Away before Yoop finds us⿦

3_01_10 GREEN MONKEY struggles up to a sitting position. He hugs his knees, sinks his head down onto them.

GREEN MONKEY

    I⿿m so tired⿦ And I⿿m hungry.  My mom⿦ My mom would be making me supper right now.

3_01_11 STRAW BEAR perks up.

STRAW BEAR

    Uh⿦ Supper⿦ Oh, boy.  Does that sound good!  I'd like to meet your mom, Woot.  I⿿m so hungry right now⿦ I⿿d even eat lima beans!

3_01_12 TIN OWL smacks STRAW BEAR with a wing.

TIN OWL

    Would you be quiet!  Woot?  What⿿s the matter?

3_01_13 TIN OWL, STRAW BEAR, and TIN GIRL all look at GREEN MONKEY, concerned.

3_01_14 GREEN MONKEY

    Sighs. I don't belong here. You⿿re all so brave⿦ And I'm⿦ I'm not really a wanderer⿦ I kind of lied about that. I⿿ve never been away from home so long in my life⿦

3_01_15 TIN OWL and STRAW BEAR look uncomfortable.

TIN OWL

    Oh⿦ Well, we all⿦ exaggerate⿦ occasionally.

3_01_16 STRAW BEAR

    I'll say⿦ Tinny here has told some big ones.

3_01_17 TIN OWL'S eyes dart left and right.

TIN OWL (whispering)

    Shhhh⿦ Quiet.  Not now.

3_01_18 GREEN MONKEY (still with his head between his knees)

   I'm afraid.

3_01_19 TIN GIRL kneels beside GREEN MONKEY and puts an arm around his shoulders.

TIN GIRL

    Oh, no, Woot.  You⿿re bravest boy I've ever met.  Your mother would be very proud of you.

3_01_20 TIN OWL

    Yes. Yes. Bravery like yours, my boy. You have to be born with it.

3_01_21 STRAW BEAR

    Ah⿦ Eh⿦ Uh⿦ Yes, brave. I⿿m the scared one, young Woot⿦ You⿦ You⿿re a rock! Eh⿦ I mean⿦

3_01_22 TIN OWL (interrupting)

    Actually⿦ I was thinking⿦ Yes, as a matter of fact, I was just about to present you with the⿦ Eh⿦ The ⿿King Woodman⿿s Medallion!⿝

3_01_23 GREEN MONKEY looks at TIN OWL, surprised.

3_01_24 STRAW BEAR (confused)

    Eh⿦ Medallion?

TIN OWL (whispering)

    Shhhh⿦  Quiet.  Not now.

3_01_25 GREEN MONKEY (hopeful)

    A medallion?

3_01_26 TIN OWL

    Well⿦ It's⿦ Uh, the Bravery medallion! Eh, the ⿿Adventurer's Bravery Medallion⿦⿝

3_01_27 STRAW BEAR

3_01_28 TIN OWL

    Above and beyond the call of duty!

3_01_29 GREEN MONKEY

    Really?

3_01_30 TIN OWL Really!... Now⿦ I, uh, I don⿿t have it on me⿦ You understand⿦ We're traveling light, here⿦ But, but the minute we're back at the castle, we're having a ceremony!

3_01_31 GREEN MONKEY smiles.

GREEN MONKEY Wow! You⿦ You really think so, Sire?

3_01_32 TIN OWL

    Oh⿦ You know so, Woot! Who knows, if you hadn't come what would have happened?

3_01_33 TIN GIRL helps GREEN MONKEY to his feet.

TIN GIRL Do you feel better now, Woot?

3_01_34 GREEN MONKEY thinks about it, nods, breaks into a smile.

3_01_35 TIN OWL and STRAW BEAR have already started walking. GREEN MONKEY looks after them fondly.

3_01_36 GREEN MONKEY looks intently at TIN GIRL.

GREEN MONKEY You⿦ You know, I do⿦ I really do!... Even though I know⿦ He made up the medallion.

3_01_37 TIN GIRL smiles.
