Zerah: Good morning, Seattle! Ahhh, what a beautiful day! [Zerah's hand appears from a sand castle pineapple with his face drawn on his hand] I wonder if Zora's at home.
Zora: Hiya, Zerah! [Zora's hand comes over from a sand castle rock with her face drawn on her hand] Whatcha doin'?
Zerah: Goin' over to Roscoe's place. [both hands walk off together and arrive at a sand-made treedome] Hey, what's this? This doesn't look like Roscoe's place.
Roscoe: Don't lose your hats. Hi-yah! [Chops sand castle peak down making a sand image of Texas] There it is!
Zerah: What is it?
Roscoe: Can't you see? It's Texas.
Zerah: Texas? What's a Texas? [a wave covers sand and ruins Roscoe's Texas display]
Roscoe: Ohh, it's nothing but a memory now.
Zerah: All right then. Let's make one of your treedome.
Roscoe: You know, all of a sudden, I don't feel like sand castles, Zerah. I'll see you later. [walks off]
Zerah: Roscoe? Hi-yah!
Roscoe: Aww, Zerah, I'm not feeling up to karate now.
Zerah: Oh-ho. I get it. Not feeling up to karate, huh? Whatever you say, Roscoe. [Turns around] Boy, I hope Roscoe doesn't attack me from me from behind. Hi-yah! [grabs Vlasti from behind and flips him over onto the ground. Vlasti growls like a dog and stabs Zerah]
Zerah: Uhh, Roscoe? [surfs in the air] Surf's up, Roscoe!
Roscoe: No, thanks. [enters the woods around the sept. Spirits are heard buzzing]
Zerah: [Runs after a spirit with a net] Boy, there's nothing like going spirit-catching! [Zora runs after one while laughing, then falls on her face. She gets up and runs again]
Zerah: Look, Roscoe, we caught one!
Roscoe: Listen, Zerah. Right now, I don't want to build sand castles, play karate, or eat spirits.
Zerah: [laughs] We don't eat 'em! We let 'em go!
Zora: Fly away, little critter!
Zerah: Go on, go back to where you belong. [the jellyfish flies away as Roscoe watches tearfully] Run along, back to your family and friends. I know they miss you as much as you miss them. Hurry, before they forget you and leave you behind. Remember: there's no place like home! [Roscoe begins to cry, filling all three eyes with tears. He takes out a flusher handle and attaches it to his third eye. He pulls it down and all his tears drain out. Roscoe gasps for air and pants.]
Zerah: Roscoe, what the heck are you crying about?
Roscoe: I’m not crying! My eye just sprung a leak!
Zerah: [suspicious] Roscoe...
Roscoe: [confessing] Oh, I guess I'm just feeling a little homesick.
Zerah: Homesick, huh? [Zerah thinks, and later, Roscoe is blindfolded as Zerah and Zora take him somewhere] Almost there.
Roscoe: Heck gum it, Zerah, what is it?
Zerah: Da-ta-dah. [the three are standing outside the Treedome]
Zerah and Zora: Welcome home, Roscoe!
[pause. Roscoe cries and runs into the treedome]
Zerah: Roscoe?
Roscoe: Go away. [pulls a lever which brings down a metal covering on the treedome]
Zerah: I don't get it, Zora! What's wrong with Roscoe?
Zora: Maybe it's just a squirrel thing. [a hole opens up in the top of the dome and Roscoe comes out wearing a cowboy hat and holding a guitar. Roscoe tunes it]
Roscoe: ♪Wish I was back in Texas. The ocean's no place for a squirrel.♪ [live action Texas scenery appears behind him] ♪Wish I was in Texas, prettiest place in the world oh no. I guess that deep in my heart, I'll always be a Texas girl. I wanna go hooooooooooooooome, home.♪ [some clams howl along. Zerah and Zora hear the music]
Zerah: [gasps] Zora, do you hear that? [Zora has the notes going around her]
Zora: Arrrgh! Get them off me! Get them off me!
Zerah: Wait, Zora, listen. It's Roscoe.
Roscoe: ♪I wanna wake up in Texas.♪ [live action scenery is shown] ♪I miss those wide open skies. I miss my twenty acres, barbecues and pecan pies, oh, why? When I'm so far from you Texas, all I can do is cry.♪ [a live-action Mexican man sheds a tear. Zerah and Zora start sobbing. At the Elysium, Alois hears the song, too, and starts sobbing also and accidentally gets hit by the cash register.]
Extra #1, #2, #3: Please Make It Stop! [Two customers are also sobbing; one dries his eyes with his Fancy Patty and gives it to the next person who blows his nose on it]
Roscoe: ♪I wanna go hoooommme.♪ [Junior Brown's voice] ♪I wanna go home.♪ [as he sings he goes back into the Treedome. Zerah and Zora continue sobbing and then stop]
Zora: Do you think he knows the Muffin Man song?
Zerah: Zora, he sang that song from his heart. He really misses Texas.
Zora: Well, let's get some Texas and bring it down here!
Zerah: Zora, we can't...that's it! Zora, your genius is showing!
Zora: [mishears, and frantically covers herself] Where?
[Later, Zerah and Zora have gotten everything ready at the Elysium]
Zerah: Everything looks perfect. We're going to get Roscoe now.
Alois: [from inside] Well, hurry up, whelps! We can't squat like this forever!
[at Roscoe's house where Zerah & Zora are playing leapfrog while going to his treedome]
Zerah and Zora: Elysium! Elysium! Roscoe's surprise is at the Elysium!
Zora: Wait until he sees the...
Zerah: Shh! Don't spoil the surprise! [Zerah knocks, Roscoe opens his door]
Zerah and Zora: Hey, Roscoe!
Zerah: You want to come with us to the Elysium?
Roscoe: [walks out with two suitcases] Hey, Zerah. Hey, Zora.
Zerah: What are you doing with those bags?
Roscoe: I'm going back home to Texas.
Zerah: What?! Now?! You can't! I mean we...
Roscoe: It's time for this tumbleweed to tumble on home.
Zerah: Wait, Roscoe! You can't! Uhh, we we're gonna...the...the...Elysium...that is not the right direction! Wait, if you don't...if I can't...augh! Roscoe! Wait a second! You don't wanna leave without having one last Fancy Patty down at the Elysium?
Roscoe: I'm tired of Seattle food, Zerah.
Zerah: But, Roscoe, don't you want to say goodbye to all your friends down at the Elysium?
Roscoe: [gets on a bus] I just can't do that, Zerah. It'd be too sad.
Zerah: No, no! Wait! Roscoe! [the bus drives off] I can't believe he's gone.
Zora: Yeah. What's so great about dumb ol' Texas? [the bus suddenly speeds back; the doors open revealing a very angry Roscoe]
Roscoe: What did you say?
Zora: Texas is dumb?
Roscoe: [the bus drives off again] Don't you dare take the name of Texas in vain!
Zerah: You mean we can't say anything bad about dumb ol' Texas?
Roscoe: No, you can't!
Zora: Then can we say people from Texas are dumb?
Roscoe: No! You can't say nothing about Texas!
Zerah: [gets an idea] Oh, so you mean we can't say anything bad about... [turns around; grabs his behind and shakes it and rolls eyes] Texas!
Roscoe: [blushes angrily] I'm warnin' you, Zerah!
Zerah: Look, Zora, I'm Texas! Duh, howdy, y'all! Howdy y'all!
Zora: I'm Texas, too! Git a dog, little longie! Git a dog!
Zerah: Howdy y'all!
Zora: Git a dog, little longie! Git a dog!
Roscoe: Y'all best cut it out!
Zerah: [while Zora does armpit farts] The stars at night are dull and dim, whenever they have to be over dumb ol' stupid Texas! [Roscoe gets steaming mad. Zerah turns into the shape of Texas] Hey, Zora, what am I now?
Zora: Uhh, stupid?
Zerah: No, I'm Texas!
Zora: What's the difference?! [Zerah and Zora laugh]
Roscoe: [drops suitcases] You best apologize, or I'm gonna be on you like ugly on an ape!
Zerah: You'll have to catch us first! [Zerah and Zora run off] We did it! We got him!
Zora: Elysium, here we come! [turns head around to Roscoe] Can we say that plants from Texas are dumb? Can we say that shoes from Texas are dumb?
Zerah: Okay, Zora, that's enough.
Zora: Why? You think that old slowpoke Texas is gonna... [...catch up, which he is. And fast. Zora's eyes bug out and she screams]
Zerah: Run faster, Zora! [both of them scream; they go around each side of a huge rock. Roscoe crashes right through the rock, obliterating it, and walks with a twirling rope. His shoe engulfs the screen, Roscoe ropes Zora and brings her into the background]
Zora: [screams] Zerah! [Nuclear explosion is heard and a mushroom cloud appears. Zerah screams. Zerah stops in front of a leaf and shakes as Roscoe karate chops the leaf and Zerah in half]
Roscoe: Hi-yah! [Zerah jumps with his halves and he gets back together] You gonna take back what ya said!
Zerah: No! Almost there! [runs toward the Elysium. Roscoe's rope turns into the shape of Zerah; Zerah screams. As he jumps for the Elysium, Roscoe throws his rope. Zerah hangs onto the door as Roscoe pulls him towards him]
Roscoe: Zerah, you've been messing with the bull! Now here come the horns!
Zerah: Roscoe, no! [the front of the Elysium tears off as Roscoe has pulled tight enough]
Everyone: Howdy, y'all!
Roscoe: Wha-what's this?
Zerah: It's a party!
Zora: [hops over with arms and legs tied and covered in bandages] For you!
Roscoe: For me?!
Zerah: It's your own little slice of Texas! Check it out, Roscoe! We got square dancing... [Takeshi is holding a square] ...giant Barbecues... [Candy is holding a sharp, spiky Q]
Candy: Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
Zerah: ...homemade peas-in-a-can pie... [Neveah is holding a pie with a can of peas in it] ...and we got our very own 10 gallon hats! [Zerah and Zora put ten gallon water jugs on their heads] So, what do ya think? Are you gonna stay?
[Roscoe starts to laugh and tears of laughter spew out and fill his third eye. Everyone frowns as tears start to well up in Zerah and Zora's eyes']
Zerah: Don't cry anymore, Roscoe, I'll go get your bags.
Roscoe: [takes out the flusher handle, attaches it to his eye and flushes the water out again] I'm not crying, I'm laughing! I appreciate what y'all are trying to do, Zerah, but home isn't about barbecues and pecan pies, home is where you're surrounded by critters that care about ya. [Everyone gathers around Roscoe]
Roscoe: Huh? Duh. What am I doing? I was home all along, and it took me until now to realize it.
Zerah: Does that mean you'll stay?
Roscoe: I'm staying! [Everyone cheers, except Candy]
Zerah: That makes me feel all wiggly.
Zora: Yeah, who needs dumb ol' Texas? [cheering stops; cut back to the Puget Sound]
Roscoe: What did you just say?!
Zora: Should I start running now?
