The Apple Tree/Transcript

This is a **transcript** for **The Apple Tree**, an episode of The Number Yoshis Return.

## Transcript

(The episode starts with a shot of the Number Yoshis' house with the words, 'The Apple Tree', on the near-right bottom corner, which cuts to the Number Yoshis and their cousins sitting under an apple tree.)

**Five**: "So, you like my new hat?"

**Seventeen**: "It rocks! I think it's the best hat on the planet."

**Five**: "Thanks, Seventeen!"

**One**: "Guys, I'm going to climb up this apple tree! Join me!" (she climbs the tree)

**Thirteen**: "Well, you can't just force us to-"

**One** (from the tree; interrupting Thirteen): "Just climb the apple tree!"

**Thirteen** (nervously): "Okay!"

(Zero rushes to the tree to climb it. The Number Yoshis and their cousins unknowingly trample him in a comedic fashion and climb the tree as the narrator counts from 1-20, then 30-90, then 99. Zero is shown flattened up and floating down like paper. Then he returns to his normal size and decides to climb the tree, until...)

**Ninety-Nine**: "Sorry, Zero! There's no room left for you on this apple tree. Better luck next time!"

**Zero** (angrily): "Fine!" (he kicks the tree and sits behind it, pouting)

(The scene transitions to behind the tree, with text at the center bottom saying 'Several Minutes Later'. We see Zero, who is still pouting. Then he looks up to see a group of Beedrill standing in front of him.)

**Beedrill 2**: "Hey, you! This is *our* tree, you little punk!"

**Zero**: "Uh huh, sure. What are you going to do about it?"

**Beedrill 4**: (hovers in the air) "This!"

(The Beedrill group flies in the air, which causes the Number Yoshis and their cousins [except Ten and Ninety-Nine] to fall out of the tree as the narrator counts backwards. Not long after Sixty's phone shatters, Zero runs to the front of the tree to see what is going on.)

**Sixty**: "Aw, come on! I was just listening to my slapstick podcast!" (he turns to look at the Number Yoshis and their cousins)

**Eleven**(crying): "Ow... oh, I'm bent!" (sobs)

**Eight**: "Arrgh! My nose! Why is it cracked?"

**Six**: "Ow... am I supposed to bend this way?"

**Zero**: "Six... you're twisted!"

**Six**: "I'm not insane!"

**Zero**: "No, I mean you're *twisted*! You look like a pretzel!"

**Six** (sarcastically): "Thanks for the help."

**Zero**: "Sheesh! Someone must have woken up on the wrong side on the bed today." (looks at Sixty's cracked phone and thinks to himself) *Can't call 911 with that.*

**Sixty**: "Are you going to call 911? You can use Ten's phone, Zero! Mine's broken!"

**Ten**: "Yeah!"

**Zero**: "That's exactly what I was going to do! Thanks, Sixty!" (as he dials; to himself) *How did Sixty know what I was going to do?*

**911 Operator** (voice): "911, what's your emergency?"

**Zero**: "Eleven is bent, Eight cracked his nose, and Six is twisted! We need an ambulance and medical aid, quick!"

(The scene transitions to sunset, with text at the center bottom saying, "Five Seconds Later". Zero looks up at the tree)

**Zero**: "Hey, Ten! Can I climb this tree?"

**Ten**: "You can! Just be careful, okay, Zero?"

**Zero**: "Okay!"

(Zero pushes a staircase away from the Number Yoshis' house.)

**Ten**: "You're using a staircase?" (annoyed) "Hold on a minute, is that *our* staircase?"

(Zero pushes the staircase to the apple tree. He climbs up it, but a Beedrill appears and pushes him.)

**Zero**: "Hey!" (lands on the ground) "My foot!"

(Next, Zero carries a ladder.)

**Ten**: "Wow, Zero! You're strong!"

**Zero** (carrying a heavy ladder): "Must... keep... carry... ing... ladder!" (he pushes the ladder to the tree) "Whew! That thing was heavy!"

(Zero begins to climb the ladder, until the same Beedrill from before pushes him off it.)

**Zero** (landing on the ground again): "My left foot!" (to himself) *Wait, I've got storage boxes! I'm going to bring those outside!*

(Zero is now seen carrying several storage boxes.)

**Ten**: "That's a lot of boxes!"

(Zero uses the boxes to make them into a staircase. He ascends the boxes, only for two Beedrill to throw him off.)

**Zero** (landing on the ground once again): "Not again!" (touches the tree and grasps it; to himself) *Wait a minute! What if I just climb this apple tree with my bare hands?*

(Zero climbs the apple tree with his hands and successfully reaches the top of the tree.)

**Ten**: "Cool! You made it!"

(Zero develops an idea.)

**Zero**: "I know! What if we form the number "100"? You're Ten, and I'm Zero!"

(Ten nods, and he and Zero form the number "100", which frightens the group of Beedrill, causing them to fly away.)

**Beedrill Group**: "Curse you, number 100!" (they fly away)

**Ten**: "Nice, Zero!"

**Zero**: "We scared them away, Ten!"

(Ten and Zero high-five, but then Ten feels his phone vibrate.)

**Ten**: "I got a text from Eleven! She says, 'Feeling great! Will be coming home tomorrow. Tell Zero me, Eight and Six say 'hi'.'"

**Zero**: "Awesome sauce!"

(Ten rolls his eyes.)

(The scene then transitions to the Number Yoshis and their cousins in their living room as the text at the bottom center of the screen says 'The Next Day'. We see Eleven, Eight and Six coming home.)

**Eleven**: "Hey, guys!"

(The Number Yoshis and their cousins rush to hug Eleven, Eight and Six)

**Seven**: "Zero, we heard from Ten that you and him scared the Beedrill away."

**One**: "Did you use a chainsaw?"

**Ten**: "Of course not!"

**Three**: "Tell us the story of how you scared the Beedrill away!"

**Zero**: "Okay! So it all started when I was using methods to climb the apple tree."

(As Zero explains his story, a montage of Zero using the staircase, the ladder and storage boxes, then climbing the tree, and Ten and Zero forming the number "100" is shown.)

**Zero**: "I used a staircase, a ladder, and a couple storage boxes to get there. Then I figured out that I could just climb the tree with my bare hands. And then I got Ten to form the number "100" with me so we could scare the Beedrill away!"

(The Number Yoshis and their cousins cheer for Ten and Zero.)

(The scene cuts to the dining room, where One has just made a wedding cake that says "Congrats Ten and Zero". The Number Yoshis eat it.)

**Twelve**: "Mm! This is a really good cake! Did you make this yourself?"

**One**: "Yeah! I made it myself! Oh, and it's strawberry flavored!"

(The camera zooms out from the couch, and then the Number Yoshis' house, as the episode ends as Sixty is heard listening to a podcast.)

**One** (voice; angrily): "And Sixty, there's no time to listen to your podcast about cakes!"

**Sixty**: "Sorry."
