|---|---|
| [The episode begins with a shot of the landscape before cutting to a driving bus as the "Bus Stop" track from the "Infinity Train: Book 1 (Original Soundtrack)" is playing. The bus stops, then Tulip and Mikayla get off the bus] | |
| Tulip | What are you gonna do when I'm at game design camp? Die of boredom probably? [takes a bite from an onion] |
| Mikayla | Ugh. Yes! Way to abandon me in my time of need. |
| Tulip | [entering woods with birch trees] Sorry, Mikayla, but Oshkosh calls. I'm the coding hero Wisconsin needs. [Tulip waves upward gesturing broadly] |
| Mikayla | [chuckles] I don't think they want their coding hero to stink up the whole state with her onion breath. |
| Tulip | [chuckling] Hey! It's not my fault I have a sophisticated pallet. |
| Mikayla | You have a gross pallet. |
| Tulip | I think I'm gonna work on my game some more before I leave. I wanna code those other nerds into the ground. |
| Mikayla | I thought your game was cool when I played it. And you know how I feel about video games. |
| [The girls get out of the woods] | |
| Tulip | You hate them. |
| Mikayla | I hate them. But I like yours. |
| [The girls both look towards Tulip's house as "Divorce Isn't Fair" starts playing. Looking at her house is enough to make Tulip's eyebrows furrow and look downwards.] | |
| Mikayla | So... when your dad picks you up for visits, does he come in and talk to your mom? |
| Tulip | Uh, yeah, sometimes. [avoids making eye contact with Mikayla] |
| Mikayla | I guess it's weird to see your parents talking to each other now. |
| Tulip | [annoyed] What do you mean weird? |
| Mikayla | Well, 'cause, you know... they're not married anymore, and everything is different. |
| Tulip | [tightens grip on onion and looks away from Mikayla] It's fine. Lots of people's parents are divorced. Y'know... [exhales sharply] I better hurry home and pack. I-I-I'll see you Monday. [starts walking across the street]. |
| Mikayla | Oh, okay. Bye! Text me when you're at camp. You'll do great! |
| [Scene cuts to inside with Tulip's mom Megan on the phone] | |
| Megan | Tulip. |
| [Tulip ignores Megan and continues to walk upstairs] | |
| Megan | Tulip, it's your dad. We need to talk to ya. |
| Megan | [to phone] Nah, she went upstairs. I don't know, Andy, what do you wanna do? |
| [Scene cuts to showing off various pieces of Tulip's room. Tulip then walks into the room, sighs, drops her stuff onto the bed, and sits at the computer. "Divorce Isn't Fair" stops playing.]. | |
| Tulip | [while eating an onion] Okay, game, you're suppose to be working, but watch, I'll press play and you're just gonna die. |
| [Tulip presses play and watches her character of "good_guys_poppin_bad_guys.exe" die]. | |
| Tulip | [exhales sharply] See, that's not right! [realizing her mistake and gasps]. |
| [Tulip begins writing more code to her game and presses play, resulting in her character not dying]. | |
| Tulip | [gasps] Look at you! You're moving around now! Don't ever change. [to book] Thanks, "Coding is Cool" guy! [impersonating Coding is Cool guy] Why, thank you, Tulip. For with your purchase of my book, I can finally afford to have this ferret removed from my face. |
| Megan | [to Tulip from downstairs] Tulip! Can you come down here, please? |
| [Tulip groans to herself before moving to the stairs to talk to her mom]. | |
| Tulip | Yeah? |
| Megan | [sighs deeply] Tulip, I'm so sorry, but your dad can't take you to camp. |
| Tulip | What?! |
| [Intense part of "Divorce Isn't Fair" starts playing] | |
| Tulip | What do you mean?! You-- ugh. You said if I brought my grade up in English I could go! You-- You-- You and Dad signed a contract and everything. |
| Megan | I-I know, Bud. [takes a seat at the dining table] But your dad mixed up the dates and planned a work trip out of town. |
| Tulip | Okay, well then why don't you take me?! |
| Megan | I have a 12-hour shift at the hospital tonight and then another shift on Sunday. I thought you'd be gone the whole time. |
| Tulip | What, so you're both too busy to be my parents? |
| Megan | Hey! |
| Tulip | You guys are the ones whose divorce keeps messing everything up, not me! This isn't fair! |
| Megan | No, it isn't fair! But it was an accident. And your dad and I are still trying to figure this out. I know, we're not very good at it yet. |
| Tulip | Good at what? Good at being divorced? |
| Megan | Tulip, I just mean scheduling. |
| Tulip | What schedule?! It's two of you and one kid! It's not that hard! [Ngh]. Fine. Whatever. I can't go. [rushes upstairs towards her room with tears in her eyes] |
| Megan | Tulip, wait! Let's talk about this! |
| Tulip | No! I'm going back to my game. |
| [Tulip groans loudly before looking at the OSHKOSH game design camp brochure. She then crumbles it in her hands and throws it, hits her lamp and makes it land on her bed. Tulip sharply exhales while sliding her back down the door and begins to tear up and sniffle. She looks at a photo of when her younger self and parents went to DolphWorld together but looks away in pain. Her cellphone is buzzing and she sharply exhales when she realizes it's her phone.]. | |
| Tulip | Huh? |
| [The buzzing continues as she gets up from the door and walks over to her phone to see a message from her dad. Her phone beeps as she opens the message.]. | |
| Tulip | Hmm. |
| [The camera turns towards the phone to show the message from her father stating, "I'm sorry Bud. I'll make it up to you l8r. Plz call (worried emoji and water drop emoji)". "Running Away" begins to play as Tulip looks down to her bed looking at the crumbled brochure. She then looks out her window where the show is starting to fall. A look of determination crosses her face. The audience is shown her stepping into her boots, taking a headband out of her drawer, putting on gloves and then climbing of her window with a bag strapped onto her back. As Tulip leaves the frame, the green glowing Infinity Train logo appears on the screen. Music continues to play as Tulip walks across snowfields, past farming silos and into the woods as darkness begins to fall signifying how long she has been walking. She breathes heavily and rests along a fallen tree while catching her breath. She then exhales deeply and takes out the Oshkosh brochure. The audience watches her flip over the brochure to be shown that the brochure was giving false advertisement with it phrased as it's only "a quick hop!" away.] | |
| Tulip | 300 miles is not "a quick hop". |
| ["Getting on the Train" starts playing. Suddenly a bright light, flashes across Tulip, blinding her for a moment. The camera turns towards her looking at a peculiarly placed train. She then walks up to the train platform and the train stops in front of her. The doors of the train open and the sign up above turns to show "OSHKOSH" as the train breaks hiss.]. | |
| Tulip | Oh! Well, that's lucky. |
| [A whomping music sound plays in the background as Tulip grabs hold of the handle. She looks back worried before showing a look of determination and stepping onto the train. A flash of bright light then begins to come towards her as she gasps and holds her hands in front of her. The scene changes to snow falling towards the audience. "This Is Not Wisconsin" starts playing. Tulip grunts and groans as she begins to open her eyes and wake up in a snowfield. She then gets up on her forearms.] | |
| Tulip | What the-- Ugh. Did I just hallucinate a train station? Well, that's... boring. [brushes snow off her shoulders and then impersonating a person from the game design camp] Tulip, we missed you at game design camp! [returns her voice back to herself] Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't quite make it because I decided to fall asleep in a field and dream about outdated modes of transportation! |
| [The faint music stops. Tulip then groans and kicks some snow in frustration. As Tulip passes the snowmen she flicks up one's hat and moves another's branch to seem as if it's picking its nose. When she gets to the third snowman, with a weird looking plastic round ball as it's head she hits it and it reacts to her action by screaming. Tulip screams along with it.]. | |
| Glad-One | [British accent] Are you my mum? |
| Tulip | W-What?! What? Am I what? |
| Glad-One | Are you my mum? |
| Tulip | Nooo! |
| Sad-One | So you've come to bring me the sweet release of death? |
| Tulip | Also no? Are you a toy? [grabs One-One looking for a battery compartment] You have really good speech recognition. |
| Glad-One | I'm looking for my mother. I don't know what she looks like, though. She might be large... |
| Sad-One | Or small, like a nurturing bagel. Are you looking for your bagel mother, too? |
| Tulip | No. Definitely not. Not my dad, either. [Exhales sharply] Weird toy. [puts down One-One] |
| Glad-One | [walking on all fours] So what are you looking for? |
| Tulip | I'm not looking for anything. I'm going to Oshkosh. |
| Glad-One | Is that your home? |
| Tulip | It's where game design camp is. |
| Sad-One | So you're going alone? |
| Tulip | Yes. |
| Glad-One | Without your parents? |
| Tulip | I don't need them to get there! Now go back to being a snowman or a-- whatever you are! |
| Sad-One | Oh my gosh. [hands on his face] What am I? |
| Tulip | Uuuuuugghhh haaa-- Ooooo [Scoffs] North St. Paul kids probably built this. |
| Glad-One | That door is impossible to open. |
| Sad-One | The only way out is through hypothermia. |
| Tulip | Pfffft. [grunts and opens door as the intense part of "Getting on the Train" starts playing] This... is the train? I'm on a big train! Like a-- Like a really weird big train?! [the music stops] |
| Glad-One | You can reach doorknobs?! |
| Tulip | How does this door work? Are-- Are you like a real robot? Are there other people on here? [Gasps] Is this what trains are like? |
| Glad-One | Yes! |
| Tulip | Yes to what? Which? |
| Glad-One | I 'unno. |
| Tulip | Wait. What's in the next train car? |
| Sad-One | It'll probably be disappointing...[follows Tulip] |
| Tulip | [Tulip opens the door of the second carriage] Wooooooww! Oh... [pans out for full view of a car appearing empty with grids on the walls] hmm. Well... |
| Sad-One | Called it. |
| Tulip | I wonder what this room's for. |
| [A ding sounds throughout the room as Tulip steps on one of the square tiles within the room. It turns orange and pops up gently] | |
| Tulip | Whoa-hoah! Back to being impressed! [plays with the tiles] |
| [The binging sounds bing up an octave each time a square is pressed upon.] | |
| Glad-One | Hop! Hip! Hoop! Hoop! |
| [One-One plays around while Tulip builds objects. She then pulls a tile out and makes a couple of figures from her game that she's designed. One-One then comes up to her.] | |
| Glad-One | [jumping on top of a tile to see what Tulip is making] Hop, hop, hipe, hoop, hop. |
| Sad-One | Are you building a coffin? |
| Tulip | I-It's a character from my game. I call it "Good Guys Poppin' Bad Guys." It's the best game I've ever made. |
| Glad-One | How many games have you made? |
| Tulip | One. |
| Glad-One | [gasps] You're joking. |
| Tulip | That's kind of a weird thing to joke about. |
| Glad-One | That's my name! I'm One! |
| Sad-One | One... |
| Tulip | And that's kind of a weird name to have. Unlike my name, which is Tulip and is perfectly normal. [looks up at the roof] Oh, you know I'm getting up there! [takes off a glove and throws it up to the roof. It then bounces off One-One and lands on the floor] Ha-ha! [grabs glove off the floor but when she turns her hand around the number '115' is glowing on it.] Aah! W-What's this?! [her glove flies out of her hand] |
| [The train shakes and is believed to come to a halt making One-One fall over on his block pedestal. Tulip opens the door of the carriage and walks out the see the landscape that the train is riding in.] | |
| Tulip | One-One? Do you know what Wisconsin looks like? |
| Glad-One | All right, hold on. Lemme think. I wanna say it looks like... this? |
| Tulip | No. This is not Wisconsin. |
| [Ominous music ("This Is Not Wisconsin") plays in the background as it's shown to the audience that the train is traveling in a desert-like area. Thunder crashes as a beam of light come from a swirling vortex of clouds in the sky.] | |
| Tulip | Ookay.[It is in fact, not okay. She peaks at the side of the train to see where the beam is going.] |
| [The beam of light seems to go into the train, taking a person through the light and disintegrate it into nothing. Tulip shouts in distress at the scene that had happened before her. The beam of light strikes down onto the earth creating a massive explosion that pushes Tulip a couple of steps away from the edge of the carriage.] | |
| Tulip | Wahhhh! Ahhhh! What happened to that guy?! |
| Sad-One | You're in kind of a bad place right now. |
| Tulip | [panicking] I'm not gasph-- I'm- I don't want to be on this train anymore! |
| Glad-One | Wait! Are you my mum? I forgot what you said last time. |
| [Tulip breathes heavily as she climbs off the carriage, she then screams and she runs away from the train but soon becomes stuck in some mud. The music stops. An almost pitch black creature with roach-dog hybrid silhouette (Ghoms) begins to emerge from the ground, swishing about.] | |
| Tulip | Huh? |
| [It then pulls itself out the ground using it's antenna by holding onto a lonely tree and two more join it. They begin to track Tulip using their antennae. "This Is Not Wisconsin" plays again. The train begins to move again and Tulip struggles to get her feet unstuck. With on hard tug, Tulip is finally free from the mud and is running back to the train. However, the ghoms have discovered where she is and they give chase. While this is all happening, One-One is humming the boots Randolph's "Yakety Sax".] | |
| Tulip | What are you singing?! |
| Sad-One | It's a wacky getting-chased song. |
| Glad-One | I made it up. |
| ["This Is Not Wisconsin" plays again. Tulip continues running from the Ghoms that are now extremely close to her. She grabs onto one of the train wheels to bring herself up onto the carriage. However, the ghoms have wings and fly up to her as she climbs onto the platform. She's then hit by one of the Ghoms.] | |
| Tulip | Ahh! |
| [She runs across the connector and opens the door just as one of the Ghoms are behind her, but the Ghom gets stuck in the door. The Ghom tries to get in as Tulip pushes against the door. However, the Ghom is too strong for her and gets inside the carriage. Tulip falls to the ground while the Ghom slides across the floor. When the Ghom comes after her Tulip quickly builds a small wall using the grids.] | |
| Tulip | No-no-no-no! |
| [The wall seems to work as the Ghom runs right into it. Tulip runs as fast as she can but the Ghom catches up to her and pushes her down to the floor.] | |
| Tulip | Ahhhh! |
| [The Ghom then seemingly begins to suck the life out of Tulip.] | |
| Glad-One | [calmly] I can help, Ms. Tulip. |
| [One-One then pops open in half and launching it's Glad half at the Ghom sending it farther away from Tulip.] | |
| Tulip | Ahhhuuh! Ah-You can do that? |
| Glad-One | Ahhhh![Glad-One runs back to Tulip to link back to Sad-One] |
| Tulip | Ahh! |
| [The Ghom then returns to chase all of them.] | |
| Tulip | Gimme a wall! |
| [Tulip then throws One-One as he rolls around and beings to build a wall. Tulip then goes over to her two video game characters she had built earlier.] | |
| Tulip | Alright, Good Guy, pop that bad guy! |
| [Tulip throws the yellow figure at the Ghom but it only makes him off-balanced for a moment and then continues to chase after Tulip.] | |
| Tulip | Uhhhhh, Bad Guy's turn! |
| [She throws the other figure, however, the Ghom sidesteps it and continues running.] | |
| Tulip | One-One how's that wall?! |
| Glad-One | Well, it's more of a house instead of a wall. |
| Sad-One | Do you want me to start over? I'll just start over. |
| Tulip | Noo! Don't start over! [jumps through a hole in the built wall. She backs away from the Ghom to the door.] |
| Sad-One | I forgot to make a roof. |
| Glad-One | Is that weird for a house-- no roof? |
| [Both One-One and Tulip exit the carriage. The music of "This Is Not Wisconsin" stops.] | |
| Glad-One | This place has some stuff that's okay about it, and some stuff that could be better. |
| Tulip | There has to be a way off this train that won't kill me. Okay, everything has rules. E-E-Even crazy things have their own logic. It's a train, right? Trains have conductors. One-One, is there a conductor? Please tell me you know the answer. |
| Glad-One | Conductor? Hmm... I think we have one of those. |
| Sad-One | But he would most likely be at the engine. |
| [Tulip then grabs onto One-One and looks out towards the front, watching the numerous amount of train cars move forward. She looks at the number written on her hand. Then back to the vast scenery up ahead determined.] | |
| Tulip | I'm getting off this train. |
| [End credits roll] | |
| [The Cartoon Network Studios logo opens, showing Tulip in the Wasteland flip her hand to the audience as the number changes fast, continuously. The Cartoon Network Studios logo closes.] | |
