TOBY NARRATING: Hi, I'm Toby.
I'm just a regular student.
Well, I was before I got zapped.
Now, I'm some kind of science genius.
The only problem is, Elizabeth is too.
[roaring]
-[shrieks].
--[chuckles].
-I found those.
-You snooze, you lose.
Hey, Elizabeth.
I found another three.
-Very good, Garth.
-But I saw them first.
-So?
Is this enough?
-Keep going.
I need as many of these as I can get.
-Careful, the salt monster might get you.
-There's no such thing.
Is there?
-Look out!
-[screams].
-Too easy.
-Verity, stop fooling around.
I need more of these flowers, and what are you doing?
Playing around in swamp water?
-But it was Garth.
-No excuses.
The first person to get double figures gets a reward.
-No chance.
ELIZABETH (OFFSCREEN): Have you been out all night?
-19.
Do I win?
-Ah, well done, Garth.
Verity, how many did you get?
-None.
-You win.
-Cool.
So what do I get?
A laser blaster?
My own personal force field?
-Uh, fresh packet of donuts?
-So what are these plants things for anyway?
-Something very special.
I'm going to enhance their unique
properties to mutate cells.
-Chocolate.
Hey!
-Oops.
Sorry.
Hey, let me help.
-Watch it.
-Oh, dear.
My mistake.
-Verity!
-It was Garth's fault.
-You totally ruined it.
-I can help.
-No, don't touch it.
-Please.
-Face it, Verity, you're a liability.
I think it's time you left.
-What?
-You heard me.
Out, now.
-[sobs].
-Verity?
You OK?
VERITY (OFFSCREEN): Leave me alone.
-Here.
-Thanks.
-What a loser.
It's gonna be so good not having her around
messing things up.
-Yeah, thank you for sharing that.
Get back to work.
By the way, you stink.
Take a shower.
-What's going on?
-I don't want to talk about it.
Garth's been at me all night, and now, Elizabeth's angry.
But it was his fault.
I don't want to go to Boggy Creek.
It stinks.
Just because he likes running around a swamp all night
doesn't make him better than me.
Does it?
-Probably not.
-No, Garth's a moron.
He's not Elizabeth's real friend.
-You actually think Elizabeth treats you like a friend?
-I'm the only one she's got.
-Maybe you should think if it's all really worth it.
[bell ringing]
-Just leave me alone.
What?
Please, please, please.
[phone ringing]
-Phones off during class, Elizabeth.
-No problem, sir.
It's only Verity.
ELIZABETH (PHONE MESSAGE): Hi, you've reached Elizabeth.
If this is--
-Don't think this means you can copy my answers.
MACHINE VOICE: Access denied.
-No.
MACHINE VOICE: Access denied.
-No.
-Excuse me.
No running in the corridors.
Stop.
[screams].
-Now, I want you all to leave the frogs inside their tanks.
Everyone got that?
Garth?
Russell
-I was just making friends with it, sir.
-As part of this assignment, you'll be studying the color
changes of various species of amphibians.
-But they're all slimy, sir.
-And boring.
-And can teach us a lot about biology.
I appear to have forgotten the color cards.
Any volunteer to go down to the store room, please?
-Ooh, I'll get them for you, sir.
-Thanks for the offer, Russell.
Very kind.
-Peta, will you run down to the store room for me, please?
-No worries, sir.
And so Miss goes, "no contact on the field." So I waited
until she wasn't looking and whacked that crybaby Helen a
real beauty on the ankle.
We won easy after that.
[growling]
-Hang on a minute.
[roaring]
-[screams].
[grunting]
-Sir, help.
There's a monster in the store room.
[laughter]
-Calm down, everyone, quiet.
-It had scales, and it tried to attack me.
-A monster.
-Now, now, Peta, just calm down.
Tell me exactly what happened.
-See for yourself if you don't believe me.
-It's still in there, sir.
You have to do something.
-OK, OK, I'll go and take a look.
-Believe in monsters, do you, sir?
-Probably just some prank being played by those
comedians in the drama class.
I better go and check it out.
Oh, and I want absolute quiet while I'm gone, OK?
-(TOGETHER) Yes, sir.
-Let's see.
-Oh, it's hideous.
-Give me a look.
-What in the world?
[bell ringing]
-Has anyone seen Verity today?
-Maybe she went home already.
-Or maybe the monster got her.
SASHA (OFFSCREEN): What?
-Did you hear that?
The monster ate Verity.
-Poor Verity.
-It's a man-eater.
-Settle down.
-Did you see anything, sir?
-There'll be no more talk of monsters.
Now go home, all of you.
Off you go, out.
[barking]
[whimpering]
-[whistles].
Chainsaw?
Look, food.
[barking]
-He must be sick.
You all right?
Chainsaw?
[whimpering]
-I'm gonna regret this.
Chainsaw?
[monster growling]
-What's the matter?
Help!
Gross.
[monster panting]
-No, please.
You don't wanna-- you don't wanna eat me.
I taste horrible.
[phone ringing]
-Crazy.
Monsters have mobiles.
I saw the monster.
-Russ, what happened?
-The monster grabbed me and spat slimy gunk all over me.
He tried to eat me.
-The monster?
I'm going home.
-Come on, Russ, joke's over.
-Yeah, Russ, stop scaring away my customers.
-But this is no joke.
It threatened me with its claws.
They were like this.
-So how'd you get away?
-Well--
it saw my face and ran off.
-Not surprising.
-You want to know what else?
It--
it had its own mobile phone.
[bell ringing]
-Now, I want you to pay special attention to pupil
dilation, as well as any changes in skin color.
-It was huge, so I go, you want a piece of me?
And then it tries to do Kung fu, but I saw it coming, and I
kicked its green, scaly--
-That's enough, Russell.
-I'll teach you the moves.
-Has anyone seen Verity?
-Well, maybe she got eaten by the monster, sir.
-Morning, Mr. Woods.
-I'm sitting here.
-What's going on with those three?
-You tell me.
[phone ringing]
MR. WOODS (OFFSCREEN): Phones off, Verity.
-Sorry, sir.
[frog croaking]
-Tobes?
-What?
-I have to tell you something.
-Can't it wait?
-It's her.
She's the monster.
-[belches].
-Verity? Uh--
-Yes?
-Listen, I don't want to be rude.
You haven't been going through any changes, have you?
-Changes?
-Yeah, I want to help you.
-She was gonna munch me like popcorn.
-I'll show him.
I will.
He's got it coming.
Yes, squish him like a bug.
-Verity, are you all right?
Verity?
-What?
I'm fine.
I have to go now.
--Boy, she's really got it in for Garth.
-That's it.
That's why the monster grabbed you, Russ.
She thought you were Garth.
I've got an idea.
-Did you get it?
RUSS (OFFSCREEN): Affirmative.
-Great.
Where is it?
There should be heaps of the creature's DNA.
I might be able to reverse the process.
-Shouldn't we have warn Garth about who's really after him?
-Oh, we could.
Or we just let Verity eat him.
Just an idea.
-Come on.
You can help me find him.
-Argh, Garth?
-What?
-That was the last drop.
I need more samples.
We're going back to Boggy Creek.
Get your torch.
-[sighs].
-Hurry up.
[animals shrieking]
-Well, what are you waiting for?
Oh, don't tell me the monster stories have got to you.
-No way.
I don't believe in that rubbish.
[animals sounds]
-You know, maybe we should get a boat.
-Just do it, will you?
-Chill, I'm going.
[monster breathing]
-Amazing.
-Tobes?
No sign of Garth anywhere.
What's that?
-It's Verity.
Her DNA shows that she's suffering from some kind of
cellular mutation.
Her cells have been mixed with some kind of swamp flower.
Amazing.
-We've got to call Garth.
Where's your phone?
-Here.
-His phone went dead.
-Verity.
SASHA (OFFSCREEN): They were at the swamp last night.
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): That's it.
Let's go, quick.
-Careful.
-Something touched me.
Can I come out now?
-No.
I want you to find at least double.
I don't want to waste my time coming to
this vile place again.
[monster breathing]
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): There she is.
Hurry.
Elizabeth, quick.
-Garth's in terrible danger.
-Don't be ridiculous.
-Where is he?
[monster growling]
-It's got him.
-What was that?
-Why don't you ask Verity?
-There they are.
-Huh?
-Did you get her?
-Get who?
Toby, wha--?
-Yours, I believe.
Toby?
I just wanted to say thank you for turning me back into a
normal person.
It was fun while it lasted, scaring Garth and everything.
But I would have got bored eventually, especially every
time I wanted to, you know--
-Eat somebody?
-Russ.
Hey, glad I could help.
-Does this mean you won't be hanging around
with Elizabeth anymore?
-She needs me.
-Verity?
I fixed that glitch in the security system.
You won't have any problems getting in now.
-Pink, with sprinkles.
-Thanks.
-Why did we even bother?
