The full verbal transcript of the episode.

## Script

(*Theme song plays, followed by the intro gag*)

**Carl:**Don't bother checking CBS, guys. They're not showing cartoons anymore. (*His finger waves, beginning the episode*.)

(*The episode begins with Weaver House in view, with Sarah coming up to the door and ringing the doorbell. Carl answers the door and smiles at his little sister.*)

**Carl:**Sarah!

**Sarah:**Oh, Carl! (*The two run toward each other and embrace.*) I'm staying here at home for St. Ursula's spring break, including Easter.

**Carl:**I really like seeing my sister! And boy, have you gotten older! Third year already and got a nice figure....

**Sarah:**(*feeling stomach cramps*) Ohhhh...Carl, my friend's here...

(*She goes into the house and inside the downstairs bathroom. She then closes the door and behind that closed door, she changed her pad and applies a tampon. She then pops back out.*)

**Zelda:**Hilda, Niecy-Poo is here!

**Hilda:**Sarah? (*sees her niece and smiles at her*) It's good that I get to see my niece all grown up! (*whispering in her ear*) Sarah, did your little friend come today?

**Sarah:**Yeah... (*taking her Letterman jacket off and wrapping it around her waist*) What could possibly ruin this day?

(*The doorbell rings, and a female voice with a Romanian accent, like those in Bucca Island, comes from outside the door.*)

**Voice:**(*other side of door*): Hello! Uh, you in there? Hello! HELLO!!

(*Sarah opens the door, and a young woman stands outside the door with a suitcase.*)

**Woman:***Aloha,*my name is Futura Sinistra, and I am here for Sarah.

**Sarah:**You're gonna ABDUCT ME?!?!

**"Futura":**No, my *meli!* I was your father's second wife before he died, so I have come to take you home, because I am your stepmother! I am from Bucca Island, and can speak Hawaiian because I lived there!

**Sarah:**(*looking shocked, she lets out a long scream, which shatters the screen and goes right into her mouth*) I'm not gonna be with my aunts or big brother? But I love them both!

**" Futura":**Ah, but you will see them on a Star-Zap, will you not? And this is my gift to you...(*holds up a blue lace dress with a white collar*) a dress to wear in your new home. You may put it on before we leave.

(*Scene cuts to Sarah in her new dress and "Futura"  leaving that night, in the taxi taking them to the train station.*)

**Sarah:**Hey stepmom, you ever watch Sabrina?

**"Futura ":**But of course, *ku'u aloha!*Who hasn't?

**Sarah:**What kind of foods do you like?

**Futura:**I like to eat things like roast chicken, fine pot roast, filet mignon, and fancier things! But some casual things like fries are okay too. (*The taxi pulls up to the station*) We're here.

(*The girls get into the Metro subway line, which takes them to not Bucca Island, but Tasnica. Once they get there, Sarah gets a suspicious look on her face.*)

**Sarah:**I've got a bad feeling about this...

(*Meanwhile, the scene cuts to Weaver House, where Carl is asleep. Suddenly, the music for Something is Not Right! plays and Carl jumps out of bed in his bathrobe.*)

**Carl:***Something is not right!*

*Something is quite wrong!*

*Something is not right*

*And soooo...I sing this part of the soooooonnng!!*

(*Carl knocks on Zelda and Hilda's bedroom door, and Zelda comes out in her bathrobe without her glasses on.*)

**Zelda:**What are you doing waking me up this early?

**Carl:**My brother-sister bond sense told me something is up! Sarah's in Tasnica, and about to go somewhere suspicious...

(*Meanwhile, "Futura" leads Sarah to a shop with a sign that reads "Madame Danielle's Fine Dressses." " Futura" accidentally drops her suitcase on her foot and gets angry.*)

**"Futura":**(*losing her accent*) Oh, you stupid briefcase!!! Don't drop on me again!

**Sarah:**(*with a thoroughly pissed look on her face*): Stepmom, what happened to your Buccan accent?

**" Futura":**Buccan? What are you... (*uses the accent again*) I mean, yes, *aloha 'ia...*

**Sarah:**You're not my stepmother, are you??

"**Futura**": (in*her normal voice*) DING DING DING!! My name is Dementia Moonglow, and it was all a trick you fell for!!

**Sarah:**(*looking sad*) So, I have no other relatives alive besides my grandparents, uncle, aunts and brother?

**Dementia:**What you have is a new home...PERMANENTLY!!

(Commercial Break)

(*Sarah* *is* *sad* *and* *scared* *about* *being* *a* *hostage as Dementia drags her to her dormitory.*)

**Female Voice:**(*off-screen*) Put her in Number 4, Dementia, *mon ami!*

**Dementia:**Okay! (*puts Sarah in her dorm*) Alright, princess, in you go! (*turns toward the tallest of the girls*) Irma, you girls still hungry?

**Irma:**Mmmm...depends. Got what we asked for?

**Dementia:**(*pulls out Panera sandwiches*) Here you girls go.

(*The girls get their food and thank Dementia. She then gives one to Sarah and closes the dorm door*.)

**Sarah:**Uh...hi. I'm...Sarah...Sarah Cooper.

**Irma:**You must be new here. My name is Irma Frost, and I'm Head Girl of Number 4. This is Fran Nelson...(*she waves at Sarah*) that one's Laraine Hexton...

**Laraine:**Hi!

**Irma:**...Over there's Liesel, this is Viktoriya, here's Kumiko, and that's Rebecca.

**Rebecca:**Call me Becky if you want.

**Sarah:**Nice to meet you all! And just to let you girls know... (*she huddles the girls altogether and whispers to them*) I don't want to be here. I'm too nice of a girl to be in a place like this...

**Viktoriya:**Viktoriya was taken from her home in Kiev, Russia when shewas only eight. I am now ten, but work is too much for bones to handle! If only my Muggle father had not joined KGB and mother had raised me like a good witch should...

**Liesel:***Ach du lieber!*I vas taken from my home in Maia, vhich is close to ze Cleft of ze Earth and Byzel on ze Golden Road, vhen I vas only nine, and I am twelve!

**Irma:** Aaaanyhoo...I'm the oldest girl here in this dorm, and the oldest girl is in charge of the dorms. And now you're the second oldest, so you get to be my sidekick.

**Fran:**Allow me to explain the rules to you...Monday through Saturday, you are to make dresses from 8:30 until 5:00, which is when the shop closes. I'll show you how to make them. Two, there is to be no playing with toys during work, no TV or games until evening and no outside food unless permitted. Three, no swearing or teasing is permited. Lastly, if you do not follow the rules, you must face the consequences.

**Kumiko:***Nanekotta! Batsu wa osoroshīdesu!*(*Sarah looks at her weird*) Oh, sorry. That was Japanese for "Oh my Gods! The punishments are horrible!"

**Sarah:**I just hope my family can help me somehow...

(*Meanwhile, Carl, Zelda and Hilda are still in their bathrobes and night clothes in Carl's case as they try to find out more about what is going on from Katrina's future vision.*)

**Carl:**Katrina? Uh...Katty? Is anybody home? (*Katrina pops out in an instant.*)

**Katrina:**Oh, g'day, Carl. Why did *you* call me and not Mistress Sarah, mate?

**Zelda:**Allow me to tell her! Katrina, your mistress has been taken by a woman who seems to be her "stepmother," and Carl here is really worried about his sister.

**Katrina:**Strewth! I saw with my future vision Mistress Sarah being taken to a dress shop where she's forced to be in a sweatshop and do slave labor making dresses all day, Zelda.

**Zelda and Hilda:** *WHAT?!?!?!?!?!*

**Katrina:**And mates, that Futura is really known as Dementia Moonglow. I know that sheila personally cuz I was a lass or two when I was her Spell Jar. Anyway, go talk to LeAnn tomorrow morning about some way to revive...some of the girls who...I don't wanna bloomin' talk about it.

**Hilda:**Oh dear! Sarah's in a SWEATSHOP?!?!

**Zelda:**This calls for drastic measures! To LeAnn's mansion!

(*When they arrive, LeAnn is in her bathrobe and shocked as they explain the situation to her.*)

**LeAnn:** Oh my, Sarah sure needs my help! And I see into the future about it so we need Resurrection Artifacts to cast Resurrection Spell and Healing Incantation.

**Carl:** I agree! This is gonna get out of hand! But first, let's gaze into the crystal ball to see how our friend is doing... (*Carl gazes and sees Sarah sitting with her dorm mates discussing how bad they get treated.*)

**Irma:** They cut all my hair off to make snow-white laces! And sometimes I get the belt...

**Viktoriya:** I vas locked in freezer for two hours and nearly passed out form cold air!

**Becky:** Me? I nearly got eaten by a pack of rabid dogs after I made a dress too slow...

**Sarah:** What happens to girls who are too defiant or lazy?

**Fran:** Hey...hey you girls...Look! (*Dementia is seen taking a blonde girl from Number 2 down the hall*) Poor Lily's taking the long nap...

**Sarah:** Where's Dementia taking her?

**Fran:** Through the one-way door, sister...

(*Dementia closes the door and is heard doing something to Lily...*)

**Sarah:** You...you mean she's...?

**Irma:** Yep...girls who go through the one-way door get...put down...

**Sarah:** Oh man, oh man, oh MAN!! I gotta do something to warn my family!

(*Scene cuts to Sarah writing a message with her right hand, then stuffing it into a bottle, corking it and sending it down the ocean. The Journey is sung while it floats along the ocean and towards the river, and right smack dab near LeAnn's mansion. She somehow finds it and shows it to her friends.*)

**LeAnn:** You guys, I found a message in a bottle!

**Hilda:** What's it say, LeAnn?

(*She opens the bottle and tries to decipher it.*)

**LeAnn:** *Dear Carl, Zelda and Hilda,*

*I am in terrible trouble! I am in Madame Danielle's Fine Dresses and am forced to work in the sweatshop in the back. And I heard the girls get punished severely and sometimes put down. Please hurry! Help!*

*Sincerely,*

*Sarah Cooper*

**Carl:** Wait...how do we know iit's Sarah who wrote that?

**LeAnn:** Wait, there's a P.S....

*P.S. Carl, if you help me, please teach me more about the history of the Six Clans.*

**All:** It's Sarah!

**LeAnn:** Good thing we going to need ingredients to resurrect the girls who had been put down. Alright, no more Miss Nice Witch!

(Commercial Break)

(*After commercials, the girls at the dress shop are eating a simple breakfast of their choice of cereal with milk, fruit and juice. Sarah has chosen her favorite cereal, Apple Jacks, and grabs a Cutie orange and a cup of red grapefruit juice. She then plops in sorrow at the same table as Irma, Fran and Becky.*)

**Sarah:** I expected something like pancakes or an omelette...

**Irma:** Well, sister, Madame Danielle is always like this. When we do get something big and fancy, all Mavolia breaks loose...

**Fran:** None of us have known as good a life as you have, Sarah...

(*Hearing this makes Sarah and her new friends cry through breakfast. After eating, the girls in Number 4 are now getting ready for Saturday work. Sarah still seems to be crying, while the music for Where Is The Hope That I Once Knew? begins playing.*)

**Sarah:** I just don't know what to do...

(*singing*) *Here I sit so cold...and hungry...*

*Feeling lost and far away...*

*My happiness is just a memory....*

*A patch of the sun...from yesterday...*

(*The other girls begin crying when they hear how beautiful Sarah sings.*)

*Where is the hope...that I once knew?*

*My dreams have vanished...it's very true...*

*When will the sun come shining through?*

*Where is that hope...we all once knew?*

(*Sarah's bond with her brother reaches Carl and makes him cry all of a sudden, and join in the song.*)

**Carl:** (*singing*) *Little sis, brave like a lion*

*And I have that same Elder's Roar*

**Sarah:** *Please, Carl, Zelda, Hilda, give me courage...*

**Carl and Sarah:** *And we can have our strength once more!*

(*Both begin to smile as their moods improve, knowing that they can make it better, and the music brightens up a little to reflect this.*)

*We'll find the hope we all once knew*

*And our pipe dreams will all come true!*

*Solaris' bright sun comes shining through*

*Giving us the hope that we...*

*Once...*

*Kneeeeeewww!!*

(*Song ends and cuts to Zelda, Hilda and LeAnn crying.*)

**Hilda:** Carl, you sang so beautifully! No wonder you and Sarah inherited your mother's talent!

**Zelda:** You're right! We CAN bring hope back!

(*Scene cuts to LeAnn with Jasmine's Spell Jar, stirring the mixture with her right hand.*)

**LeAnn:** Mix in an ankh...

**Carl:** This Egyptian thing? In it goes! (*throws it into the jar*)

**LeAnn:** Five feathers of the phoenix...

**Hilda:** (*throwing the feathers into the jar*) Five phoenix feathers!

**LeAnn:** A Philosopher's Stone...

**Zelda:** Check! (*Carl gives the "why do we need that?" look on his face*) Trust me, neffy-poo, alchemists use them to make Elixirs of Life. (*plunks the stone into the jar*)

**LeAnn:** (*picking two petals off of a chrysanthemum*) And finally, two petals of a chrysanthemum! (*drops them in the jar, which causes the mixture to transform with a POOF! Hilda takes out the sack left behind.*)

**Hilda:** Ta-daaa! Ladies and gentleman, may I present the omnipotent Powder of Life! Guaranteed to bring anyone back to how they were before they died!

**Carl:** Alright!

**LeAnn:** I can make sure the villain wish she was never alive. I think Reward and Punishment Spell will help.

**Zelda:** It'd be a bleak day when Madame Danielle gets arrested by the spell!

**LeAnn:** Okay gang, we'll use the Crystal Ball to locate the dead bodies in the villain’s lair and after we defeat the villains we will resurrect the girls.

(*They gaze into the crystal ball and see Dementia and a girl from Number 3 named Jenn in the "one-way door" room. Madame Danielle walks in with a vial of acid green liquid.*)

**Madame Danielle:** *Sacre Bleu!* Jennifer did not want to use the right materials, *non?* I said use red gingham, not blue calico!! You have disobeyed me one time too many, and you must pay...WITH YOUR LIFE!!

**Jenn:** But Madame, I thought calico was appropriate for that girl!

**Dementia:** Well, it wasn't! (*turns to her mistress*) I'll do it, mistress; you can go. (*Madame Danielle walks out of the room while Dementia takes out the needle, putting the liquid into it. She also takes a moment to pity Jenn*) I'm sorry, Jenny...but I can't refuse Madame Danielle's orders... (*injects the poison into Jenn, killing her instantly.*) Why did I sign up for this? If only my acting career was better...and Madame Danielle hadn't disowned her own son because of his defiance after her husband died... (*walks back to the workshop, where we see Fran teaching Sarah how to make the pink gingham dress that the customer asked for.*)

**Fran:** And then we sew on the collar...and we're done!

**Sarah:** That was easy...

(*Scene zooms back to our heroes, who look concerned. Carl, meanwhile, is on the phone.*)

**LeAnn:** There is is a chance to resurrect the girl from the dead.

**Hilda:** Who is our favorite, only neffy-poo calling anyway?

(*Carl is still on the phone, where apparently Dementia is on the other end.*)

**Carl:** Listen, Dementia, my sister is in danger because of you and Madame Danielle! Now I know why she hates kids so much!

(*Screen splits between Carl and Dementia.*)

**Dementia:** Okay, let's cut to the chase. You guys will have to use the Warp Gate to Tasnica, come and rescue Sarah while I call the cops on Madame Danielle. Sound fair enough?

**Carl:** Sure does, Dementia. Now do as I say, or I might change my mind about sparing you. (*He hangs up the phone and turns toward his aunts and librarian*) Let's take the Warp Gate.

(*Meanwhile, Sarah is making a new dress, and accidentally coughs on the lace collar, turning it yellow. Madame Danielle takes notice of this and snatches Sarah, bringing her to Dementia.*)

**Madame Danielle:** *Sacre Bleu!* You have ruined the whole dress, and must be punished severely! Dementia, *mon ami,* put her down!!

**Dementia:** Yes, mistress! (*She walks Sarah out of the workshop and stops her mid-walk.*) Sarah, listen, I want you to find your family at the front door. I already called 911 on Madame Danielle, and a cop named Cavin should be coming soon.

**Sarah:** Dementia, you're...sparing me??

**Dementia:** You're too nice of a girl for a place like this. Now go!

(*Sarah does what Dementia tells her, and sure enough, there is Carl, Zelda, Hilda, LeAnn and Cavin.*)

**Carl:** Little sis!

**Sarah:** Oh, Carl! It really IS you!! (*The two embrace, and suddenly, Dementia pushes Madame Danielle out the door*)

**Dementia:** Here she is, officer!!

(T*he two look surprised to see each other*)

**Cavin:** *Mon mère?* Mother?

**Madame Danielle:** *Mon fils?* My son?

**Cavin:** You are under arrest for child abuse, sweatshop use and murder!

**Madame Danielle:** *NOOOOOOOOON!!*

 (*He puts her in his cop car, while the girls and Dementia wave and cheer*)

**Dementia:** Have fun in prison! Don't drop the soap!!

**LeAnn:** Miss Dementia, I’m sorry I interrupted your victory, but I need to resurrect the girls who have been put down so may I have your permission to do that?

**Dementia:** But of course! I'll show you where they are. (*Scene cuts to her showing the crew where the dead girls are*) Here you go!

**Carl:** Okay, let's do this! (*takes out the Powder of Life and sprinkles it all over the dead bodies*)

*The world may be full of pain and strife*

*But bring these girls back to life!!*

 (*The golden magic works its wonders and each girl rises up from the spot and thanks Carl and LeAnn*. *Hilda and Dementia start crying*)

**Hilda:** Don't you just love happy endings?

**Dementia:** Yes...yes I do.

(Commercial break)

(*After commercials, it cuts to two weeks later, where LeAnn is holding a letter from Dementia. She reads it out loud*.)

**LeAnn:** *Dear Carl, LeAnn, Sarah, Zelda and Hilda,*

*We cannot thank you enough for what you did to stop the sweatshop. We here at my dress shop (I got promoted) offer our undying gratitude and love for you all. As such, Sarah may take the dresses from around the world we made for her.*

*Sincerely,*

*Dementia Moonglow.*
