Disenchantment

Hey!

Oh, my subjects, my servants,

my supper!

Damn you, Dagmar!

Bean! Wake up! It's me, Oona!

Ugh! Teeny-agers!

Look what we caught.

I can't stand bottom-feeders.

Toss her back, but this time make sure she stays on the bottom.

Bean!

Bean? Are you all right?

Mom, I was having a nightmare.

Then I realized everything I love

has been turned to stone and my life is in ruins.

Oh, darling, we had no choice but to leave Dreamland.

Oona would have stopped at nothing.

I guess you're right. I just wish I still had my friends.

Everything will be okay. Let's just get your strength back.

Wow. That's the best soup I've ever had.

It's whisky.

Is death, or is?

Hello, Luci.

Don't close the door. I'm afraid of the dark.

Dagmar, no! I love you?

You're going to fall in love with Maru. It's such a wonderful place.

And you'll finally get to meet the rest of the family.

Family?

Oh, glorious day! Welcome back, Dagmar.

And Tiabeanie,

you're so much lovelier in the flesh.

Bean, meet your uncle and aunt, my brother, Cloyd, and my sister, Becky.

Rebecca. I go by Rebecca now.

Hello, Bean. Welcome home.

I have an aunt and an uncle?

Does that mean I have cousins my age I can hang out with?

No, we don't care for children.

Ugh. What the devil's happened here this past 20 years?

This hallway was once lined with servants waving fans.

Now, there's just a man smashing bugs with a hammer!

Oh. Aw.

Hey!

Oh, that's just Jerry and his pet hammer.

Jerry, of course. I remember when he was just a little lunkhead.

Aim where they're going to be, Jerry, not where they are.

Ah.

This is your family home. You're free to explore.

Cool. What's behind that door?

None of your business, nosy!

Come, you must be tired from all these questions.

Show her to the sleep chamber.

It's kinda creepy in here.

Would you mind sleeping with me tonight, Mom?

Of course not, darling. It's my old bedroom.

Did I say creepy? I meant cozy.

Oh! My old clothes!

Bean, I know you're partial to that,

but we left in such a hurry,

perhaps we could take one of my lovely dresses

and butcher it into something you'd wear?

Thanks, Mom, but I'm not real into bows.

These are moths, actually.

Hmm.

Whoa. I do not wanna picture my mom in this.

You won't be needing to. That's mine.

I can explain. Well, goodnight.

If you need anything, just ring.

There's no clapper.

That's okay, these rooms are soundproof anyway. Sleep well.

Goodnight, Gomer.

So, Cloyd and Becky aren't very affectionate, are they?

Oh, Bean, don't be absurd. They love you as much as I do.

Mom, this is all so new and weird and freaky.

I don't know how I'm gonna sleep tonight.

This is what I used to do when you were little.

- Now, it's just annoying. - Shut up.

Shut up.

Do you remember what I'd whisper to you when you were little,

right before you drifted off?

You will be the greatest woman this goddamn kingdom has ever seen.

Mom, how can I be great

when I did something so awful to my friend?

Elfo died.

Oh, baby, that wasn't your fault. It was destiny.

Now, go to sleep.

Go the hell to sleep.

This is good. This is comfortable.

- Whoa! - We thought you might need a blanket.

And a soothing goon to mutter you to sleep.

How did they know I needed a blanket?

Shut up.

Wow, Maru is so exotic.

It's a whole different type of bleak and desperate than Dreamland.

The difference is there's real beauty and magic here.

You just have to look beyond the rabid goats and unsalted pretzels.

Whoa! A fire-breather!

That's just a wino, darling.

Well done, Luci. Your mission is complete.

Wait! I haven't fully corrupted Bean yet. I got big plans.

It's all about betrayal, blackmail, backstabbing. The stuff you love!

Enough of your sweet talk.

Jerry, put him in a specimen jar and stick him in the basement.

Beeoo-woop!

No, no, no! Let me out!

Unless you wanna shake me again. That was fun.

Bean, I want you to fall in love with this country.

You father and I fought about it.

- He never wanted you to come here. - Why not?

Zog never trusted my brother and sister.

Seeing how they mismanaged our empire, he may have been right.

They are kinda odd,

but that's no reason to keep me from half my family.

Well, and because every other generation

seems to have a propensity for murderous insanity.

Did I ever mention?

That's how my parents died,

double murder-suicide.

But Cloyd and Becky aren't crazy, they're eccentric.

Your father was just paranoid.

Then, ironically, not paranoid enough about his own second wife,

but we all have our blind spots.

Watch out!

Messenger viper.

Oh. It's Cloyd and Becky.

I'm sorry, sweetie, I must go. But keep having fun, okay? Kiss, kiss.

Yeah, don't worry about me.

I'm great at finding things to do.

So, snake, which way to the nearest bar?

Okay, I need you to wear this cap and be a lot more peppy,

and I need you to jump in with snarky yet philosophical quips.

Got it?

All right, keep working on it, Nuevo Elfo.

New Luci, that's progress.

Okay. Three amigos, back again! Let's head inside.

Wait! They won't seat an incomplete party!

- Whoa! - It's you! Prophecy girl!

What the hell?

Save Maru, Tiabeanie. Save Maru!

Ah! Get away from me! Ow!

Help! This elderly senior's gone crazy! She's kissin' my boots!

Tiabeanie! Tiabeanie!

- That's not what I meant! - Tiabeanie! Tiabeanie!

Oh, my God. Big simple guy! Have you seen my mom?

They're talking about secret stuff

and they said I should go sit in the Jerry Box,

but I don't like the Jerry Box.

Well, can I hang out with you? I don't want to be alone.

Oh, sure! When I don't want to be alone, there's a place I like to go.

You can use this fire to look at anyone.

You just throw a little powder on,

and you say who you want to see.

You should get some fire friends, too.

I wonder...

Show me Luci.

Come on, fire! Let me talk to Luci!

What are you doing?

Stop throwing my cocaine into the fire!

I don't have a problem, okay?

I was just trying to talk to my friend. We got separated when we left Dreamland.

That's not how the Oracle works.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we'd like to beat Jerry in private.

Listen, Jerry, the fire is not to be used by her,

or anybody else except us!

Ow!

Cloyd, help me take the fire to the temple.

Jerry, you stay here and finish beating yourself!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Ow!

No, I beg you!

Ow! Ow!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

You know, Odval, if I didn't have you, I'd really be lonely.

Huh?

Eh, your arms were all wavy and critical, anyway.

Hey! Don't you wanna come out and live your life with your ol' King Zoggy? Eh?

We can have lots of fun.

- Are you all right, dear? - Yeah, I'm fine.

It's just a scratch I got from this strange old lady in the village.

Oh, you mustn't walk through the Crone Zone.

I got roughed up there myself. Cost me a pretty penny. Drink up.

- Down the hatch. - There you go.

You know what might cheer you up?

A lovely little ceremony to welcome you to the family.

We'll have a special dress for you.

And Bean, I'm not supposed to tell you about the crown, but I just did!

Sounds great. But would you excuse me for a moment?

I'm feeling oozy woozy. Is that a word? I feel odd.

Welcome to the family! Of course.

Prophecy? That couldn't be about little old...

me?

Ew.

Ew!

Arms?

Oh, no, this is not good.

Bean? Oh, thank goodness, she's waking up.

What happened? I left dinner to go for a walk.

- You came back for dessert. - Cherry cobbler.

You seemed fine. Then, we retired to the library and you fainted.

Maybe you were overcome by chimney fumes.

It happens quite frequently in a place like this, with no chimneys.

Mom, can I talk to you for a second? Alone.
