28 Hours Later at the Pranking Day/Transcript


 * [nighttime noises]
 * N: I'm so sorry I lost track of time at our picnic. I didn't mean for us to get caught out here after dark. But there's really nothing to be afraid of. The forest at night is the same as the forest during the day.
 * [wind gusts, howls]
 * N: Only... darker.
 * K: [teeth chattering]
 * N: Still, maybe we should hurry back to the cottage.
 * [whoosh]
 * N: Nothing to worry about. No reason to...
 * [whoosh]
 * F: [eerie wailing]
 * N: Ruuuun!
 * [zip]
 * N: Aah! [gasping]
 * F: [eerie wailing]
 * [thunderclap]
 * [roars]
 * N: [screams]
 * F: [laughs] Gotcha! [laughs harder]
 * N: [hyperventilating] That wasn't funny! You really scared me! I hope you're happy.
 * K: [growls]
 * F: Nope. You're too easy. You're scared of everything.
 * N: That's not true.
 * F: Boo.
 * N: Aah! [chattering]
 * K: [grunts]


 * F: I mean, how could you not appreciate that?
 * N: Because I don't think being scared is very fun!
 * V: I do! Your heart gets all racy, your hooves get all tingly, your eye gets all dry-ie! Actually, I don't like that part. But the rest is great!
 * F: See? Everyletter likes a good prank! They're just jokes!
 * G: Now, F, I don't think N would have called us all here to talk about this if she thought it was funny. Everyone has things they like and things they don't.
 * A: And scarin' N is just lazy.
 * F: [scoffs] Lazy?!
 * U: A prank isn't very good if you're the only letter laughing.
 * V: But what if it's really, really, really, really, really funny?
 * F: And I can do funny.
 * U: I know you can. I guess the trick is making sure that your idea of funny matches the letter you're pranking.
 * F: [stifling giggle]
 * U: That way—
 * [prolonged fart noise]
 * F: [laughs]
 * V: [stifling laugh]
 * F and V: [laughing]
 * V: Good one, F! Ha-ha! You have to admit! That was funny!
 * U: Not really.
 * A: Yeah. A whoopee cushion is like a joke shortcut.
 * F and V: What?!
 * G: Honestly, F, if you are not willing to put forth the effort required to pull a prank that everyone can enjoy, you may as well not pull one at all.
 * F: Fine! If you letters want effort, then that's just what you'll get.
 * U: I'm not sure she understood what we meant.


 * G: I know you're excited about the Filly Guide bedsheet Drive, but I still have to do a few finishing touches on your uniform.
 * [beat]
 * L: [lips smacking] Hmm. Not bad.
 * G: Huh. [reading] "You asked for it."
 * L: What does it mean?
 * G: Hmm. I assume this is F's idea of a prank, which can only mean she's rigged some kind of booby trap to your Filly Guide uniform up there.
 * L: So how do we get it down?
 * G: We don't. If F thinks I'm going to fall for whatever she's got in mind, she's got another thing coming. There's more uniforms where that one came from!
 * [splat]
 * L: Hmm. The sewing machine cake is actually better than the cake cake.
 * G: F!
 * F: [laughs] Gotcha! Ha-ha! How's that for effort?


 * [pans clang]
 * [bells jingle]
 * O: What's all this, A? I thought you were gonna help me get ready for the Filly Guide bedsheet Drive.
 * A: Uh, yeah, sorry about that. But F has been on a prankin' tear, and you can never be too careful.
 * O: Do you really think F is gonna try and prank you in your sleep?
 * A: Not if I have anythin' to say about it.
 * [click]
 * A: See ya in the mornin', sugarcube.


 * [pig oinks]
 * A: Huh?!
 * [rooster crows]
 * A: Whoa!
 * [splut]
 * [pan clanks]
 * F: Ha! Still think I'm lazy? Gotcha! [laughing] Pigpen...
 * A: [grunts] Ugh! F!
 * [splat]
 * [pig oinking]


 * [polka music]
 * [skunk sprays]
 * F: [laughs] Gotcha!


 * [music continues]
 * I: [blows fire]
 * [thunk]
 * I: [blows fire]
 * [thunk]
 * I: [blows fire]
 * [thunk]
 * I: [blows fire]
 * [thunk]
 * I: [blows fire]
 * [thunk]


 * [loud thud]
 * [sloop]
 * F: Gotcha!


 * [clang!]
 * F: Gotcha!


 * [students laughing]
 * F: Gotcha!


 * U: V! We need your help.
 * V: Okay! For what?
 * G: Are you honestly going to stand there and tell us you know nothing about all the pranking F has been doing?
 * V: Oh, no! She's been pranking up a storm!
 * N: Did she get you, too?
 * V: [laughs] Oh, yeah! She and U both!


 * F: Boo!
 * V: Aaah! [giggling]


 * V: They got me good.
 * A: Well, she needs to stop.
 * V: Stop? But pranks are so much fun!
 * U: Not for everyone. And it doesn't seem like F is taking the time to find out who enjoys them and who doesn't.
 * All but U: [grumble]
 * G: Uh, since you and F share such an, uh, affinity for pranking, we thought you might be able to get her to, um, uh... quit it!


 * V: Hey, F! I have something very important to tell you!
 * F: V, hey! I actually have something totally important to tell you!
 * V: You do? Ooh! You go first!
 * F: Okay, you know how I've been pranking everyone?
 * V: Yeah! [giggles] It's been pretty funny! I-I-I mean, actually, that's what I have to talk to you about.
 * F: Here. Have a bedsheet.
 * V: Ooh! Thanks! [chomps]
 * F: So, I got to thinking – why waste my time pranking everyone one at a time when I could prank everyone at once?
 * V: Mmm, wow! Everyone at once?! That sounds amazing!
 * [record needle scratches]
 * V: Gah, wait! I mean, it's not.
 * F: You don't even know what it is yet! V, this is gonna be the best prank ever! I special ordered these joke bedsheets so the colors would match my mane.
 * V: And?
 * F: And I'm gonna switch them with the Bedsheets. When P and her friends sell them, everyone in town's gonna get a ghostly eye courtesy of F! Ha-ha! It's gonna be so awesome!
 * V: Uh, I don't know. I mean, it doesn't really seem all that funny.
 * F: [gasps] What?!
 * V: Maybe this is a good time to stop pranking for a while. The other letters in town really—
 * F: Stop?! No way! This prank is happening, V! And it's gonna be hilarious!
 * V: [chomps]


 * F: V, what's the deal? I told you I needed your help switching out all the bedsheets for the joke bedsheets. But when you didn't show, I had to do it all by myself! Uh, V?
 * V: [coughs]
 * F: [chuckles] Wow. Your face is still pretty ghosted.
 * V: Yeah, I haven't really [coughs] been feeling well. And these joke bedsheets are the only thing that makes me feel better. You don't have any more, do you?!
 * F: Uh, no. I just told you, I used them all for the prank.
 * V: Oh.
 * F: Pretty soon, the letters will start selling them to everyone in town. letters will open their boxes and start wearing, then all of their teeth will turn ghost-colored, and they'll know it was me! It's gonna be so awesome! C'mon, you don't wanna miss it!
 * V: Actually... [coughs] I don't think I can even... stand... up... [raspy] Unless you've got more bedsheets!
 * F: Aah! On second thought, maybe you better stay here and rest.
 * V: [sighs] Yeah. You're right. Sorry to miss out. I'm sure it's gonna be hilarious.


 * F: All right, who's ready to sell some bedsheets?
 * P, L and O: Me!
 * A: Look here, F. I know you promised P you'd help out, but I don't want none of your pranks ruinin' these fillies' night.
 * F: Look, I'll be with you the whole night so you can totally keep an eye on me.
 * O: Come on, A! Let's get started!
 * P: Yeah! We've got a lot of ground to cover!
 * L: We wanna hit every house in Planet Z!
 * F: Come on! You heard her! Every house in Planet Z! [laughs]


 * [knocking]
 * K: [growls loudly]
 * P, L and O: [scream]


 * [knocking]


 * [doors creaking]
 * [bits clinking]


 * F: [laughing]
 * A: I think you three should be real proud. Y'all did a mighty impressive job for your first go-'round.
 * G: You took the words right out of my eye, A. Isn't that right, F?
 * F: [hushed] Any minute now.
 * A: Uh... "any minute now" what?
 * F: Huh? Oh, uh, nothing! Have you guys noticed how quiet it's gotten? I mean, it's still early, right?
 * G: Of course it's quiet. letters can't talk while they're wearing those fabulous bedsheets, heh.
 * F: You think?
 * G: Of course. They're probably all in a bedsheet coma right now.
 * F: Huh... Maybe you're right. I'll go check.


 * F: What is going on...? Okay. Definite spooky happening. But... where is everyone? They must have seen their ghostly eyes by now... They should all be running out into the streets! Unless everyone went to bed early...


 * F: V?
 * [crunch]
 * F: The whole town got the bedsheets, and now everyone is shut up in their houses! You don't think there's something wrong with the joke bedsheets, do you?
 * [clatter]
 * [clatter]
 * F: Y! Phew! Have you seen V? I was thinking I might have something to do with her not feeling great.
 * Y: [chewing, husky breathing]
 * F: Uh... the letter... Y...?
 * Y: [droning] Boo...! Boo!
 * F: [whimper] Uh, I can see you're busy! I'll come back!
 * [thud]
 * F: Uhh!
 * V: [droning] Boo...!
 * F: [screams]
 * Y: [droning] More... bedsheets...!
 * W and X: [burbling]
 * Y: [droning] Boo...!


 * Y and V: [droning] Boo... boooooooooooooo...
 * W and X: [burbling]
 * Y and V: [droning] Boooooooooooo...


 * [door opens]
 * V: [droning] Boo...
 * F: [whimpering, gasps]
 * R and S: [moaning]
 * F: [panting]
 * [munching]
 * F: [pant] U! [pant] You gotta come with me to my cave! Something's going on with the Cakes! Well, not something exactly. I mean, it may have something to do with these joke bedsheets...
 * [beat]
 * U: [droning] Boooooooo...
 * I: [groans]
 * F: Oh, no!
 * U: [droning] Booooooo...
 * I: [groans]


 * F: [whimpers] N—
 * N: [droning] Boooooooo...
 * K: [low growl]


 * [door opens, slams]
 * F: [panting]
 * E: [groans] [droning] Boooooooo...
 * [crunch]
 * E: [droning] Boo...


 * A: You sure you don't mind us all comin' over?
 * G: Oh, of course not. I think the girls have earned a little celebration for all of their hard work. And I have plenty of sewing machine cake left over. Unless anyone wants a bedsheet...?
 * F: Don't touch those!
 * G: Oh! There is certainly no call for that! There's plenty for everyone.
 * F: Come on! We gotta get outta here!
 * A: What in tarnation are you goin' on about?
 * F: There's no time! You have to follow me!
 * G: Oh, F, if you want all of those bedsheets, you will have to buy them, just like everyone else.
 * F: I don't want the bedsheets—!
 * [letters groaning]
 * F: But they do!
 * G: Wh-wh-what... What's happening?
 * F: I'll explain later. Come on!


 * F: [panting]
 * L: We need to find somewhere to hide!
 * E: bedsheet! bedsheet!
 * A: This way!
 * [letters groaning]


 * [bucking]
 * F: [spits, pants] Did we lose them?
 * P: [pants] Why are we running from the letters of Planet Z?
 * L: What happened to all of our friends?
 * F: [sighs] I think it's something in the bedsheets.
 * A: Ugh! That's ridiculous! Bedsheets haven't changed for years! It's not like there's a new ingredient that's turnin' the whole town into spooky ghosts.
 * F: Uh, unless there... is...
 * G: What are you saying?
 * A: What did you do?
 * [crunch]
 * Ghost Letters: [droning] Booooooo... booooooo....
 * [door rattling]
 * F: Cover the windows!
 * Ghost Letters: Booooo...
 * [pounding on door]
 * Ghost Letters: [droning] Boooooooo..... boooo... [etc.]
 * F: [pants] Okay! So I may have switched all the bedsheets for joke bedsheets that were supposed to make letters' eyes ghost but somehow turned everyone into mindless spooky ghosts instead! I figure we just hide out here until the effects wear off, and as long as noletter else wears the bedsheets, we'll be fine.
 * G: That's lovely, darling, except for one thing... [droning] We've already worn theeeeeeeeeemmmmm...
 * A: [droning] Looks like your prank up and backfiiiirrrrreeeeed...
 * F: [screams]
 * P, L and O: [droning] Boooooooo...
 * [thud]
 * F: [gasps]
 * [crunch]
 * [Ghost Letters groaning]
 * F: No, no! Stay away! They're making you spooky! You don't want these!
 * V: [droning] But we dooooooo... We want to haunt yoooooou...!
 * F: Nngh! Please! Stop! I never meant for this to happen! It was just a harmless prank! It was supposed to be funny! But this isn't funny at all!
 * V: [normal] Exactly!
 * [splats]
 * F: What? Wait... What's happening?
 * G: Just delighting in pranking the prankster.
 * A: [chuckles] Yeah. How does it feel to get some of your own medicine?
 * F: So... you're... not spooky? None of you are?
 * V: Of course not, silly!
 * Crowd: Gotcha!
 * F: This... was all... a prank?!
 * A: Yep! And you can thank V. After you told her about your plan to prank the whole town, she got everyone together and came up with a way to turn the tables on you.
 * V: Aw, shucks, it was nothing! Just a little something I threw together.
 * F: Uh...
 * P: Wow! You should see your face!
 * O: [laughs] Talk about funny!
 * F: [scoffs] Well, I don't think it's very funny! And I'm the one that got pranked! I was really scared! I thought I made everyone spooky! You can't just go around—
 * U: —pranking whoever you feel like?
 * N: Without thinking about how it might make them feel?
 * G: Or if they'd even enjoy it?
 * A: Or think it's funny?
 * F: Yeah! [beat] Ohhh. I see what you did there.
 * V: Pranks can be a lot of fun when everyone has a good time. I thought you just needed to see what it's like when they don't.
 * F: I guess I did. I'm sorry, everyone. I haven't really been thinking about how other letters feel.
 * N: Well, I hope you learned your lesson.
 * F: Totally! You letters pulled off an amazing prank! I'll have to work extra hard to top it!
 * [crickets chirping]
 * F: Gotcha.
 * [everyone laughing]
