## Moxy

* Look, you know I love it here. It's not about that. It's just... haven't you ever felt like, even if you're happy, which I definitely am... I mean, I just spent an entire day singing about it... there's still something else, there's something more you're supposed to be doing? Good night, Ox. {kiss Ox} Lucky Bat, see you tomorrow. Maybe it'll be the day.
* Well... Every day i think "Today's the day." And then it isn't. And that's fine, it is, but... Look, I've always believed the Big World is real. I know I'll find the perfect kid for me. But, lately I'm starting to wonder.. with no evidence... no, proof! what if it's not true?
* No, Gibberish Cat, we're not just going home. If Lou tried to recycle us, then no one is safe.
* We are not rejects. Our flaws make us who we are. You know what? We have enough flaws for every doll in Perfection, and then some.
* Those are all worth fighting for! Well, maybe not being greedy with the soup, but the others! Now let our freak flags fly!
* You and no one else.
* We can be pretty lovable.
* Guys, what if this is the way to the big world?!

## Mayor Ox

* [clears throat] I heard that. Now, Moxy, I've lived here longer than anyone, and it really does not get any better than this.
* Welcome to UglyVille, friend!
* It was you! You tried to have me recycled!

## Mandy

* Did that make you feel better?
* Moxy, you have to go back and complete the Gauntlet.
* That's where you're wrong. All your life you knew the truth and you never stopped believing. And you were right! I never would have had the courage to come here if it weren't for you. If you give up now because you're not perfect, what hope do the rest of us have? With five eyes or wedged heads or glasses? You need to fight, Moxy. Show them it's our differences that make us shine.

## Lou

* You, a reject, we're gonna leave me just like the others.
* You don’t belong here, you don’t belong anywhere, you shouldn’t, even exist.

## Dialogue

    Mayor Ox: Welcome to Uglyville, friend! What's your name?
    Peggy: Flat-top!
    UglyDoll Citizen: Smush-head!
    UglyDoll Citizen: Crew Cut!
    Wedgehead: Wedgehead?
    Mayor Ox: Ah, great! I love literal naming. Isn't that right, Gibberish Cat?
    [Gibberish Cat replies back in gibberish]
    Lucky Bat: Moxy! Thanks for accepting my random yet urgent invitation. How are things?
    Moxy: Well, every day I think, "Today's the day." And then it isn't. And that's fine, it is, but… Look, I've always believed the Big World is real. I know I'll find the perfect kid for me, but lately I'm starting to wonder with no evidence, no proof, what if it's not true?
    Lucky Bat: Hmm... [he breaks a fortune cookie and reads the fortune] "Find your own truth, 6, 9, 25, 18, 36, 41."
    Moxy: Whoa. [mimics explosion] This… this is why you're the wisest doll in town. You're so right. I have to believe in myself.
    Lucky Bat: Uh… sure.
    Moxy: So how do I do that? Specifically?
    Lucky Bat: Uh, well, a wiser doll than me would say you should stop listening to what others tell you. But all I have to offer you now is some… Satisfaction Guaran-tea.
    Moxy: Oh! You want to read my tea leaves! Of course! [drinks tea]
    Lucky Bat: Um, you know, um, reading tea leaves is not… It's not really my thing. But I can tell you that your forehead looks nice and bright. And that's good luck, so take that good luck and believe in yourself from the comfort of your own home. [Moxy moves the cup to him, and he sees some tea leaves]
    Moxy: What do you see?
    Lucky Bat: Uh… You…
    Moxy: "You"? Oh! You mean me. It's not what you see, but what I see.
    Lucky Bat: Hmm?
    Moxy: Hmm… I see leaves. "Leaves"! I need to leave! All this time, I've been waiting for my kid to find me, but I should find my kid!
    Lucky Bat: Wait, what?! That's not what I was saying at all!
    Moxy: Thank you so much, Lucky! You're so wise. So wise!
    Lucky Bat: Well, I'm just lucky…
    Moxy: Come on!
    Lucky Bat: Whoa! Moxy, I think you may have misinterpreted the spirit of what I was trying to…
    Moxy: Ugly Dog, let's go.
    Ugly Dog: Yeah! I know that look. Wait up!
    Lucky Bat: Yes, let's wait up!
    Moxy: Babo! Lucky Bat has a great new idea.
    Lucky Bat: No, no…
    Moxy: We're gonna make our dreams come true!
    Babo: Oh, I'm always geared up for dreams.
    Lucky Bat: Or nightmares!
    Moxy: Wage! Today's the day!
    Wage: But, Moxy!
    Moxy: Come on!
    Wage: [sighs] Here we go again.
    Lucky Bat: Can't we just hit pause real quick?
    Lobster: [sighs]
    Mayor Ox: Oh! Hello, Moxy. Looks like you're all having a good time.
    Moxy: Oh, loads of fun. Lucky Bat made everything crystal clear.
    Mayor Ox: Hey, Lucky! Attabat!
    Lucky Bat: [squeals]
    Moxy: We're gonna make our dreams come true!
    Moxy: Everything that comes to Uglyville arrives here. So if we're going to find the Big World, it's only logical we start here.
    Wage: Okay, the Big World and children do not exist!
    Moxy: I just wanna have a look inside that flower. Who's with me?
    Wage: Don't do it.
    Ugly Dog: I'm in!
    Babo: Me too!
    Wage: Traitors.
    Moxy: Eh? [she moves a little] Come on. Come on over here. Hit me.
    Wage: Just a quick look.
    Lucky Bat: And then we'll turn back.
    Moxy: Yes! You guys are the ugliest.
    Ugly Dog: Now the only question is, how do we get up there?
    Babo: Hey! [he pulls out a broken trampoline]
    Wage and Lucky Bat: [yelp]
    [Babo pulls out a cannon]
    Ugly Dog: Hey!
    [Babo pulls out a helicopter]
    Babo: Whoa! [he pulls out a plane and a pogo stick]
    [The helicopter lands and explodes]
    Babo: Eh, I got nothing.
    Ugly Dog: Hmm, we need something that could grab onto the edge nice and tight. Even then, it would still need to hold all our weight. Huh? [he sees Moxy, Babo, Lucky Bat and Wage walking towards him. Babo was swinging a rope] No, no. No. NOOOO!
    [Babo throws Ugly Dog to the flower with the rope around him. Ugly Dog grabs on the pipe with his teeth. Babo, Moxy, Wage and Lucky Bat climb up the rope]
    Ugly Dog: [groans] Anytime now, guys. Let's go.
    Moxy: Guys, what if this is the way to the big world? This pipe, it’s real, and it has to lead somewhere. Maybe it’s the big world? If anyone can figure it out, it’s us —- Ugly Dog, you’re my best friend.
    Wage: Well, that's just hurtful.
    [From the trailer, they arrive at the Institute of Perfection]
    Babo: I have a feeling we're not in Uglyville anymore.
    Moxy: Look, guys.
    Lucky Bat: What’s perfection?
    Wage: Don't know, but let's go say, "Hi."
    Ugly Dog: Hello!
    [all the perfect dolls scream and zip away]
    Lucky Bat: Must be a customary greeting here. [screams at the perfect standing near them and she passes out from fear]
    Prefection: [groans]
    Ugly Dog: Tu vienes aquí mucho? [raises his eyebrow]
    Perfection Guy: Hard pass.
    Wage: Another swing, another miss.
    Perfection Guys: our dress are so pretty
    Wage: But are they absorbent?
    Perfection Guys: Ewww!
    [Wage blows her nose]
    Ugly Dog: Are we really not good enough for the big world?
    Moxy: No, our flaws make us unique. Those are all worth fighting for.
    Mandy: You do know that Lou is going to make it super hard for you.
    Moxy: Well, I say, "Bring in on, Louis!"
    Tuesday: We have to save him. [referring to one of the perfect dolls is grabbed by a dog]
    Lou: Leave him. He's a lost cause. He's gone forever.
    Nolan: I'm over here. [ignoring the captured doll]
    Lou: There’s nothing we could have done.
    [Moxy is sulking in her bed]
    Peggy: Hey, yo. Wake up or don't. It doesn't matter. I wish I was sleeping all the while, I'm no bother to anyone.
    Moxy: [looks at her diary and kicks it into the trash] Ugh, I can't do this anymore.
    Mandy: [takes it out] Did that make you feel better?
    Moxy: Mandy? What are you doing here?
    Mandy: Moxy, you have to go back and complete the Gauntlet.
    Moxy: [sighs] There's no point.
    Mandy: That's where you're wrong. All your life, you knew the truth and you never stopped believing. [reads her diary] And you were right, I never would've had the courage to come here. I'm one for you.
    [Moxy goes over to her mirror and looks at her reflection, sighing uncertainly.]
    Mandy: If you give up now because you're not perfect, what hope do the rest of us have with 5 eyes or wedged heads or glasses? You need to fight, Moxy. Show them it's our differences that make us shine.
    [Begins singing "Unbreakable"]
    [Lou finds out he lost the Gauntlet]
    Lou: [fakes laughter] Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag.
    Lydia: You failed?!
    Tuesday: How could you fail?
    Lou: You still don't get it! Of course I failed. I'll always fail! I'm a prototype!
    Mandy: What?
    Tuesday: Prototype's like a good thing, right?
    Lydia: No, he ain't a real doll, girl!
    Lou: You thought that I just stuck around this place, because I cared so much about you mindless sycophants?!
    [Kitty gasps in shock, feeling insulted.]
    Tuesday: Sycophant's like a good thing, right?
    Kitty: Ugh! No, you imbecile!
    Tuesday: [to Babo] Is imbecile a good thing?
    Babo: My gut says, "Yeah."
    Lou: I'm the model! The mold! Sent by the factory to help guide you through! Sounds amazing, right?!
    Nolan: Uh...
    Lou: Wrong! Prototypes are not meant for public consumption! I was never allowed to go to the big world! [at Ox] But you could! How could someone as ugly as you be accepted and loved, while someone as perfect as I never could, and never will?! Let's see how you feel when you're trapped in this place forever, just like me!
    [last lines from the movie]
    [two hands reached out and pulled Moxy out of a Box, It Cuts to a Girl’s Bedroom where the two hands put Moxy, with a birthday badge on one of her nipples]
    Maizy’s Dad: [whispers] Shhh! Don’t wake her up.
    Maizy’s Mom: [leaves her there] She’s Gonna Be so excited!
    [Moxy springs to life, looks around the room and was amazed]
    Moxy: [whispers] Whoooooo [the camera cuts to her feet as walked to her child’s bed, climbed on top of her child’s bed with her sketchbook, it fell to the floor, she went back to plush form before her child wakes up]
    Maizy: Hmmm? [looks at Moxy’s missing tooth, looks down at her mouth and she smiles as she has the same missing tooth as Moxy does, She hugs her doll as Moxy looks at her hugging, then happily closes her eyes as the movie closes]
