## Trivia

* Although this episode premiered in 2004, it was produced in 2003 according to the copyright date at the end of the credits.
* The title is based on the idiom, "every dog has its day".
* According to Felker in the audio commentary for this episode, Edward was supposed to be naked for the remainder of the episode after the students woke up. This was likely changed so it wouldn't be deemed inappropriate.
	+ However, it's highly possible he said this in a joking manner, since the original storyboards do not show Edward naked.
* There is a chance Edward knew that "Scott" was actually Joey, given how he pointed out whenever he "vaguely" screams in pain, he "almost sounds like Joey".
* It is unknown how the students kept their sleeping bags in their possession if all of their luggage were eaten away with the bus by a swamp monster.
* The "Lakeside Forest? What's so great about forests?" line was originally considered "rude" by Warner Bros, until the writers persuaded them to keep it in.
* This episode is available to watch on the Stories to Share VHS and DVD, and the Season 5 Volume 1 box set.
* This episode is one of the rare instances where Mr. Goodman appears without Principal Walker.
* During the American theatrical run of *Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light*, this episode would play before the movie started.
* An Aesop: Don't assume the worst about something.

## Transcript

(The episode begins with a school bus zooming through a road near Lakeside Forest's mountains. Mr. Goodman is driving)

**Mr. Goodman:** We're almost at the field trip spot!

(Everybody cheers)

**Mr. Goodman:** (he tightly grips onto the steering wheel) Whenever I get a wound too tight, (he lessens his grip) I spend a night out here and get back to basics! But this time I think it'll be good if we all do it together.

**Joey:** (deadpan) That's nice. When can we get to do this without being *near* each other?

**Constantinos:** But don't you like being together?

(Beat as we see everyone huddled up with each other)

**Joey:** (stern) I'm gonna stare out that window, and make you all go away. (grunts, but then he screams bloody murder once he sees Frankfurt holding onto the window from the outside)

**Frankfurt:** (chuckles) Uh, are we there yet?

(Joey crosses his arms, and soon enough, the bus parks in the middle of Lakeside Forest, where, hilariously enough, there is no sunlight to be found anywhere)

**Mr. Goodman:** Here we are!

(Everybody walks out, and a panning shot of the scenery is shown. Tentacles emerge from the water, and a shaved eagle passes by)

**Wayne:** It's dark in here.

**Finn:** (in quicksand) I'M SINKING!!!!!

**Ethan:** (his head is being consumed by an oversized leech) I HAVE LEECH!!!!

**Mr. Goodman:** (applying facial cream to himself, and he's only wearing his boxers now) Yup! Just as I remembered. You kids set up the tents, I'm gonna "take a look around".

(He jumps into the murky water and performs a backstroke, swimming away)

**Edward:** So, where are the tents?

**Constantinos:** On the bus.

(Cut to the bus, where a giant eel roars and eats it before sinking back into the swamps)

**Edward:** Whoops.

**Agustin:** "WHOOPS"?! WE'RE STRANDED IN THE WILDERNESS WITH NO SUPERVISION OR SHELTER, AND YOU SAY "WHOOPS"?! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

**Eric:** (approaches him) Agustin. (opens his arm for a hug) Come here.

(He embraces Eric while crying. Suddenly, Eric pulls Agustin's underwear from his slacks, and he forms the shape of a massive tent with it)

**Eric:** There we go! Shelter.

**Edward:** Fantastic work, Agustin!

(Agustin blushes, and everybody except Joey runs in. Edward peeks his head out)

**Edward:** Coming, Joey?

**Joey:** (passes by with a sleeping bag in his arms) Heck no. I finally have some space, and I'm taking it.

(He relaxes in his sleeping bag)

(Camera transitions to nighttime. A party is occurring inside of Agustin's boxers, with neon lights occasionally flashing. Agustin approaches Joey's sleeping bag)

**Agustin:** Hey, Joey! There's a party in my underwear, and you're invited.

**Joey:** (muffled) Go away, twig.

**Agustin:** (oblivious) Ok! Sure thing, Joey! (leaves)

**Joey:** Ah, alone at last.

(Suddenly, a small portion of a tree opens up similarly to a garage, and a tiny car parks inside. A frog wearing business attire hops out of it, but then it notices Joey's sleeping bag. The frog wraps his tongue around the sleeping bag, jams it into his mouth, and then he pulls out Joey, who is in nothing but a tank top and shorts. A door is shown underneath where his sleeping bag once was)

**Female Frog:** HAROLD! THERE'S SOMETHING BLOCKING THE-

**Harold:** I got it, I got it! (opens the door and slams it shut upon entering)

(Beat)

(Joey speed-walks to Agustin's boxers, shivering)

**Joey:** Hey morons, I'm freezing! Any of you numbskulls got a spare sleeping bag?

**Constantinos:** Nope.

(He opens his sleeping bag, revealing several allergy medications)

**Constantinos:** But we can share mine.

**Joey:** Uhh, hard pass.

**Jason, Grayson, Mason and Hasten:** We can squeeze you in.

**Joey:** Yeah, no.

**Frankfurt:** (offscreen) Hey, Joey!

(We see Frankfurt rolling around in mud)

**Frankfurt:** There's plenty of room in my pile of mud.

(Maggots emerge from the mud, squealing. Joey holds in his own vomit, but then he hears...)

**Edward:** Hey, Joey! You can share mine.

**Joey:** (sighs) I don't have a choice now, do I?

(He lays down, and is surprisingly comfortable)

**Joey:** Whoa! This is so comfy! Your pajamas add to the effect! Are they made of flannel?

**Edward:** Well, to decrease my body temperature and thus result in higher quality sleep...

**Joey:** (grinning) Yeah?

**Edward:** ...I sleep in the nude.

(Camera immediately cuts to Joey storming out)

**Joey:** (shivering) Nope. That was my last straw. Even when they're sleeping, those fools get on my nerves. All I want is something to sleep in, is that too much to ask?!

(We see his hand gathering up plants, leaves, and mud. He applies them to himself as he rests on the ground)

**Joey:** Now this is more like it! It's warm, it's spacious, and it's got the three N's: No Morons, No Morons, No Morons!

(Soon enough, he falls asleep and snores loudly. However, a thunderstorm erupts out of nowhere, and all of the rain falls on him. The mud, leaves and plants completely cover his body, but he manages to sleep through this perfectly fine)

(The next morning, the rest of the students wake up. Joey is shown waking up as well)

**Joey:** (inside of the mud) That was the best night of sleep I've had all semester! Now how do I get out of here? Let's get some light in here. (shines a flashlight)

(From Agustin's underwear, everybody else notices the shining light)

**Charles:** What the heck is that?!

(Everybody goes to investigate the source of the light, but they scream upon seeing a "monster", which is just Joey covered in the mud. Dallas is the one who doesn't scream, and they take cover behind trees)

**Frankfurt:** IT'S ALIVE!

**Ethan:** What is it?!

**Henry:** SWAMP MONSTER!!!!!

**Constantinos:** Mr. Goodman would know what it is!

**Eric:** Where IS Mr. Goodman?!

(The camera cuts to Goodman relaxing in a pile of mud alongside two other men, and they laugh)

**Mr. Goodman:** Oh, it's great catching up with you guys, but (checks a wristwatch he never owned before) I should probably get back to- WHOA! LOOK AT THE TIME!

**Woman:** (offscreen) Hey, handsome. (the woman is revealed to be a female ogre, accompanied with two other ogres of her kind) Leavin' so soon?

**Mr. Goodman:** (grins) No, ma'am!

**Female Ogre:** CANNONBALL! (dives in, covering the camera in mud)

(Once the mud clears, it transitions the camera back to the students)

**Joey:** (inside the mud) Hello? HELLO?!

(Outside, his words come out completely muffled)

**Constantinos:** (yelps in fear) What does it want from us?!

**Igor:** (approaches Joey) Calm down, everybody! I speak monster.

**Abdul:** (follows suit) Yeah, calm down, everybody. I speak monster.

**Igor:** (to Joey) So, monster, where ya from?

**Joey:** (inside the mud) Help! I'm stuck in here!

(Outside, his words come out muffled again)

**Igor:** Cool. Got it. Thanks. (turns his attention to everybody) It's ok, guys. He says he's from the neighborhood and that his name is Scott.

**Abdul:** Yeah, it's ok, guys. He says he's from the neighborhood and that his name is Scott.

**Everyone:** Hi, Scott!

**Joey:** (angry, muffled gibberish)

**Stanley:** Whoa, Scott looks cold. HANG ON, BUDDY! WE'RE GOING TO HELP YOU OUT!

**Joey:** (inside) YES! GET ME OUT!

(The camera immediately cuts to "Scott" in Agustin's boxers)

**Stanley:** There. That's better.

**Joey:** (angrier, muffled gibberish)

**Igor:** He says he's ready to have some fun!

**Abdul:** Yeah, he says he's ready to have some-

(Carver knocks him out, and everybody cheers)

(The camera transitions to the students having a game of baseball)

**Dallas:** Alright, Scott, how about a little game of catch? Heads up!

(He tosses a baseball at his head, and in the inside, Joey screams in pain)

**Frankie:** Nice catch, Scott! (tosses another ball, and Joey screams again)

**Constantinos:** Here's my curveball, Scott! (throws a ball at his nose) DOGPILE ON SCOTT!!!!

(Everybody crushes "Scott", creating dust)

(The dust transitions the camera to "Scott" on top of a mountain)

**Jason, Grayson, Mason and Hasten:** Throw Scott down a mountain! (they kick him down, and from the inside, Joey screams bloody murder as he tramples onto multiple rocks before landing on a road and getting run over by a truck)

(Eric is seen using "Scott" as a trampoline)

**Eric:** I really love this game! (laughs) Having fun, Scott?

**Joey:** (from the inside) WHAT HAVE I EVER DONE TO DESERVE THIS?!

(Eric "accidentally" hops on him too hard, causing "Scott" to roll down into a swamp, where he encounters a family of hungry alligators. Joey screams, and he gets mauled)

(He runs, only to bump into a tree, which is housing a nest of wasps. The wasps emerge from the broken hive and zap him. Afterwards, they leave him to another family of alligators)

**Joey:** (from the inside) Heh, nice alligators...

(Cut to a time card)

**The Narrator:** Three days later...

**Joey:** (from the inside, again; he is shown with bruises and bandages) Um, I think it's been three days. I haven't had food or water, nobody understands me, and it feels like I'm gonna suffocate. (sheds a tear and grows puppy eyes) I'll be spending the rest of my life stuck in this prison.

(He looks over at the sign for Lakeside Forest)

**Joey:** Lakeside Forest? What's so great about forests?

(Cut to Finn with "Scott")

**Finn:** (laughs) S-so then, I told him, "That's no koi fish. That's my mother!" (cracks up)

("Scott" slithers away)

**Finn:** (grows irritated) Fine! Let's hear YOUR jokes then, Mr. Comedy!

(Terry and Barry are playing with cards)

**Barry:** Ugh, you're killing me with this hand.

**Terry:** Hey, cut me some slack. Go fish.

("Scott" slithers over them, dropping them to the ground)

**Terry:** Whoa, hey!

**Barry:** Easy there, big guy!

**Terry:** Now that was just plain rude.

(Edward is about to take a group photo of the students, but "Scott" gets in the way once the camera flashes)

**Eric:** (whispering to Edward) There's something weird about that new guy, Edward. Personally, I don't trust him.

**Edward:** I don't know if it's a coincidence, but whenever it vaguely screams in pain, it almost sounds like Joey.

**Henry:** He's not even wearing a shirt!

**Agustin:** And he's been wearing my underwear all day without a word of thanks!

(Everybody angrily complains in the background)

**Constantinos:** (in the background) You have been rude from the start!

**Eric:** (in the background) That wasn't very nice!

**Gordon:** (in the background) You stole my pet rock collection!

**Edward:** (steps in) Hey now! Is that any way to treat our new friend? I believe we should help him fit in by giving him a great, big...GROUP HUG!

(They agree, and they hug "Scott")

**Edward:** Say, Igor, is he feeling any better?

**Igor:** Pfff, how am *I* supposed to know?

**Edward:** (uneasy) But I thought you said you speak monster.

**Igor:** Monster? Uh, no. I only got that from a manga. But I do speak Portuguese.

(Everyone gets startled)

**Constantinos:** You mean, we actually don't know what this thing is?!

**Edward:** And that his name is not Scott?

(They scream, and Mr. Goodman is shown walking back to where the students are. Suddenly, Frankfurt cuts through in front of him, loudly screaming)

**Mr. Goodman:** What the? What goes on?

(Other students run to him, screaming)

**Mr. Goodman:** Hey! HEY! Lakeside students, front and center!

(They rush up to him)

**Mr. Goodman:** What the devil happened here?

**Terry and Barry:** They were rude to us!

**Edward:** It's true!

**Eric:** (lifts up Igor) And the weirdo speaks Portuguese.

**Mr. Goodman:** Now, *one* of you, tell me what happened.

**Constantinos:** Um, well, first, we woke up, right? And Edward was naked - which is odd - and then that big guy shows up, he's naked too, and he's like "Hey, let's play catch!" and we're like "Ok". But then he didn't laugh at Finn's jokes and NOW WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE IS!!!! (cries)

**Mr. Goodman:** Alright, who is this "big guy"?

**Everyone:** HIM!

(They point to "Scott", which the camera pans over)

**Mr. Goodman:** (chuckles) You kids and your imagination. I'll go check it out.

(He walks up to "Scott")

**Mr. Goodman:** See, boys? It's fine! It's just Joey covered in mud and-

(Cut to the students, where he is inaudible)

**Edward:** What's he saying?

**Wayne:** I haven't the slightest.

**Frankie:** I can't hear him over the decomposing swamp muck.

**Henry:** Maybe it's a cry for help?

**Igor:** It's not Portuguese.

(Cut to Joey inside the mud)

**Joey:** (stomps up and down) ***I GOTTA GET OUT OF HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!***

**Mr. Goodman:** (laughs) Youth! You boys have plenty of idle time on your hands, but take it from me-

("Scott" accidentally falls and lands on him)

(Beat)

**Stanley:** Whatever you do, guys...don't, scream.

(Another beat. They scream)

**Stanley:** CALM DOWN! ALL OF YOU!

(The panic dies down)

**Stanley:** So, we don't know what that thing is. We don't know where it came from, or why it ate Mr. Goodman. So why should we panic?

(He takes out a torch)

**Stanley:** I SAY WE KILL THE MONSTER!!!!

(Everybody runs to "Scott", but he retaliates by punching Eric hard enough to give him a black eye)

**Eric:** AAH! IT'S A FLY THAT SWATS BACK!

("Scott" uses this to his advantage to escape, sprinting through swamps and caves, but the entire class teleports right in front of him, and they beat him to a pulp, but then they stop once they hear...)

**Edward:** WAIT! WAIT! HANG ON A SECOND! HOLD YOUR FIRE!

(They stop)

**Edward:** Do you know what this is? It's been Joey covered in mud and plants all along!

**Everyone:** Joey? (they sigh in relief)

**Carver:** (in the background) That's even worse.

(Dallas punches his arm, doing the exact opposite of what he normally does to Joey)

(Joey is seen with the mud clearing off)

**Edward:** Joey!

**Joey:** EDWARD! (hugs him) Boy, am I glad to see you! I never want to be alone again.

**Frankie:** (offscreen) Well, look who it is!

**Eric:** (with crumbs on his mouth) Hey there, buddy!

**Joey:** Yeah, hey there, guys. Uh, are there any spare snacks? I'm starving.

**Constantinos:** (in a rare moment of happiness, he's slightly smiling while hopping up and down) Joey! What a surprise!

**Stanley:** It's Joey!

(Everyone crowds him. The more they talk to him, the more Joey gets irritated)

**Joey:** (in the background) Alright, alright. Nice to see you, whatever.

(Mr. Goodman hangs upside down from a tree)

**Mr. Goodman:** Well, hey there, Joey! How have you been?

**Joey:** WAIT A MINUTE!!!! All of you just back off!

(He angrily mutters to himself as he marches away from them. He sighs in relief, until a knock on a door is heard)

**Female Frog:** HAROLD! THERE'S SOMETHING BLOCKING THE DOOR!

(The rest of the class is revealed to be above the door from earlier)

**Harold:** I got it. (whistles, summoning his twelve children)

(The swarm of kid frogs lift up the class and run away with them)

**Joey:** Ah, alone at last.

(He lays himself out on the ground similarly to a beach towel. Suddenly, a grizzly bear is heard growling. Joey yelps in fear and quickly takes off)

**Joey:** ***WAIT FOR ME, GUYS!!!!!!!***

(He runs down a path leading back to the school, trying to keep up with the horde of frogs)

(Iris out)
