A Human in FernGully/"Land of 1000 Dances"/Jake notices Pips' jealousy

Here is how Zak Young came to FernGully in Jiminy Cricket goes to FernGully: The Last Rainforest.

Fortunately, Zak escapes them by grabbing on a vine. He does a somersault and lands on the ground, dusting off his arm, Batty then swoops in.

Batty Koda: Oh, no! (crashes into a tree root and falls down, believing he's blind) I'm blind! Oh, no! (waits a beat) I can see! It's a miracle! Another perfect landing. No worries. I'm okay. Thank you for caring. (as a couple of fairy kids pass him by) It's just a few bruises. (becomes sad) Nobody cares about me.

Zak Young: I do, bat man.

Batty Koda: You sure?

Zak Young: I'm positive.

Batty Koda: (doubtful) Only fools are positive.

Jiminy Cricket: I'm certain that Zak has a good heart as much as you do, Batty.

Jake: Jiminy’s right, Mate, you think fools can be positive.

Zak Young: Are you sure?

Sebastian: I’m pretty sure you’re in denial on knowing Zak, Mon.

Batty Koda: I'm positive. (waits another beat) I fell for it! I should have known!

Crysta: Come on, Zak! (grabs Zak)

Jiminy Cricket: Crysta, wait up!

Ash: Crysta, we were so worried about... What's that?

Crysta: Father, I'd like you to meet Zak.

Zak Young: Hi.

Crysta: He's a bodacious babe.

Ash: A what?

Crysta: He's a human!

Ash: Somehow I thought they'd be bigger.

Crysta: Well, I had a little accident, and he sort of shrank. But just think, humans back in the forest.

Batty Koda: Yep, there goes the neighborhood.

Crysta: Be nice, Batty.

Batty Koda: First thing, all these trees go. Then come your highways, then come your shopping malls and your parking lots and your convenience stores, and then come... (as Zak messed with the wires on his head) Price check on prune juice, Bob. Price check on prune juice.

Pips: (as he came) Crysta! Where have you been? I've been looking all over for ya.

Crysta: Pips, you won't believe what I found. Isn't he amazing?

Zak Young: Shouldn't we be charging admission for this?

Pips: That's all you've got to say? I've been out all night, and you want to show me this weird creature here?

Crysta: This weird creature is a human.

Pips: Hmm. He's kinda small, ain't he? (whistles)

All: Look out!

Then, all the fairies flee as a kangaroo arrives. It’s baby pulls Zak's lost stereo out of its mother's pouch.

Ash: Uh, Pips, why don't you tell us about your strange treasure?

Pips: Oh. Well, it's simple, really. It's hard like stone, yet, uh... yet it's hollow. And, uh, yeah, it has this, uh, it has this little vine coming out of it and... and...

Zak Young: It's my stereo.

Pips: Look, I found it, so I'll explain it, all right?

Zak Young: Okay. Then what is it?

Pips: Well, it's obviously, um...

Fairies: Yeah?

Pips: Obviously, it's, uh...

Just then, Zak pushes a button, causing a stereo to play music as the fairies flee.

Jiminy Cricket: Woah!

Zak Young: Where are you going?

Ash: It's alive!

Fairy #1: And it's noisy!

Sebastian: Very nice, Mon.

Zak Young: It's a recording of music.

Jake: What, you mates never heard music before?

Ash: Well, I don't know what a recording is, but I know what music is, and that is not music.

Herman the Bootle Beetle: Better show them how it’s done, Zak.

And so, Zak shows the fairies how music and dancing works.

**Zak Young:** Come on everybody! Gather 'round!

I want all ya'll to sing this song with me

Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na

I need somebody to help me (come on!)

Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na

Woo!

Sebastian: (laughing while dancing) Feel the rhythm, Mon!

Zak Young: Rock out, fairies! Come on! Move, move, move! Get the beat!

**Recording:** Got to know how to pony

Like Bony Maronie

The Hot Potato, do the alligator

Put your hand on your hips, yeah

Let your backbone slip

Do the Watusi

Like my little Lucy

Come on! Uh!

Let's all feel good!

Come on ya'll, gather round!

Come on!

Batty Koda: (complaining) Audio pollution! Oh! Oh! (grabs two fairies and plugs them in his ears to block out the music)

Zak Young: Whoo-hoo!

**Recording:** Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na

Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

With Zak and Crysta dancing, Pips has gotten jealous.

**Recording:** Let's all feel good, yah!

Like I knew it would, uh!

Feel alright-uh!

You know we're down in a habit

With long tall Sally

Twistin' with Lucy

Doin' the Watusi

Roll over on your back, yeah!

I like it like that

Will you do the Jerk, uh!

And then watch me, watch me, watch me work!

Just as Jiminy and his friends join the dance, Magi Lune watches Zak from a tree.

**Recording:** Aah, do it

Aah, do it

Aah, do it

Do it

Aah, do it

Aah, do it

Aaaah hey!

Aah, do it!

Zak was having the time of his life in FernGully, when Pips snatched him.

Pips: Hey! (slams him into Stump) Come with me and the boys! We'll give you a taste of real FernGully wildlife. Unless, of course, you're not up to it, Zap.

Zak Young: (brushes Pips aside) I'm up to anything you can dish out, bud.

Then, Stump grabs Zak by the shoulders and throws him into the air, where he lands on Twig's beetle. Just as he takes Zak for a ride, Crysta stops him in his tracks.

Crysta: Not now, Pips.

Root: (bummed out) Nuts!

Crysta: Come on, Zak.

As Crysta takes Zak somewhere private, Jake begins to notice Pips’ jealousy.

Twig: Hey! Hey, where they goin'?

Pips: See you around, Zag.

Sebastian: His name is Zak, Mon, start working on your pronunciation why don’t you.

Pips: Whatever.

Jake: I think I know what’s going on, Pips. You’re jealous of Zak, aren’t ya?

Pips: What? No!

Jake: Don’t go on denial, Mate. Now listen, you may not believe me, but I know that there’s more people than meets the eye, even I know a certain mouse who never gave up on saving many lives of animals, good humans and fairies like you.

Pips: Your point, Jake?

Jake: My point, Pips, is that you shouldn’t judge Zak by appearances and know what good people you didn’t know what you took for granted.

And with that, Pips begins to think about what good there is in Zak.
