At the Moose Mountain gift shop.
Muffy: I think it’s time for you to expand your retail horizons. You should carry one of these. It’s a global positioning system, the latest in navigation technology. I got it at the Sherpa Image. Our position is thirty-nine steps, forty degrees North by Northwest from our minivan. Whatever. Now I’ll ask it to give me the location of the nearest mall.    The GPS beeps.   Twenty-seven miles away?? We’ve fallen off the face of the earth.
Fern: I have a question. What can you tell me about the dark side of the mountain?
Ranger Jackie: What?
Fern: You know, a little history, something like an abandoned goldmine haunted by the wails of those who died there driven mad by their greedy obsessions. Or maybe a ravine with the remains of a wagon that plunged over the side, the bones and dreams of the pioneers crushed and shattered on the pitiless rocks below. Or how about a desolate campsite where explorers shared their last rations before disappearing forever into the harsh and silent wilderness.
Ranger Jackie: Mercy, no!

Fern has a fantasy with herself as Zutzut (Tintin) and Francine as Captain Haddock.
Francine: Move it, Fernfern, you sloth-footed slowpoke!
Fern: Commander, may I remind you one wrong move could trigger a rockslide.
Francine: Plotting, perambulating pedestrian!

Francine and Fern reach a rope bridge.
Fern: A rope bridge! Zutzut crossed one of these in "The Pearl Palace". 
Francine: Come on, then. 
Fern: Um... Francine, I have to go to the bathroom. 
Francine: Aw. Fine! Go into the bushes over there and make it quick! 
Fern: No way! I'm going back to the rest area.
Francine: You're on your own then. I'm fifteen minutes ahead of schedule and I'm not going back. She steps onto the bridge.
Mr. Frensky and Muffy are a little bit behind. Muffy is talking on her cell phone.
Muffy: Can you still hear me, Daddy? Great! How about now? Great! And now? They reach Fern.
Mr. Frensky: Hey, roadrunners! Everything okay? 
Francine: Fern has to go to the bathroom. Indoors!
Mr. Frensky: Okay. Well, we're not that far from the rest area. You two can go back and we'll all wait for you here. The other girls are catching up. 
Francine: She can go by herself!
Mr. Frensky: That's not how it works. Fern is your buddy. 
Fern: Either way, I really need to go. Now!
Mr. Frensky: Francine Alice Frensky! Francine comes back.

After taking a shortcut, Francine is unsure about the way.
Fern: Francine, make up your mind.
Francine: Quiet! I’m thinking.
Fern: Are we lost?
Francine: No, I’m just not exactly sure where we are.
Fern: Yay, we’re lost! Now we can have a real adventure!

Francine has pulled Fern out of a swamp.
Francine: Whatever happens, we have to stick together.
Fern: I guess I’m no Zutzut.
Francine: No, but you’re pretty good at figuring things out when you’re just being Fern.

The girls see a hawk circling over them.
Fern: It’s a vulture! We must have “Early Bird Special” written all over us!Category:Unfinished Transcripts
