Marceline: Vampire Killer/Transcript

(The scene opens with the Candy Kingdom at night. Peppermint Butler looks something from the telescope on the balcony. as Princess Bubblegum walks.)
 * Movie

Princess Bubblegum: Are you sure you're looking for something?

Peppermint Butler: Hope so. Don't wanna disappoint a beauty princess like you.

Princess Bubblegum: I've really gotta take some great pictures of something.

Peppermint Butler: (picks up the waklie talkie) Fern, can you read me?

Fern: (on radio) Roger, loud and clear.

Peppermint Butler: Activate the dish, please.

Fern: Roger that. (activates the dish and walks to the balcony)

(The computer beeps as the pattern moves up and down then stops.)

Peppermint Butler: Maybe this pattern could've been crazier than before. Hey, Fern. I'm beginning to guess that the pattern seems average like gooey tar with green eyes and red mouth.

Princess Bubblegum: Tar? You mean, like oil?

Fern: You really are a crazy girl.

Princess Bubblegum: (confused) A crazy girl?

Fern: In any crazy terms, if there's really any fluctuation, that means the vampires will be resurrected. (The screen shows the proto-vampire that changes into Marceline's vampires.) It's changing, isn't it?

Peppermint Butler: Yeah, right, it seems so.

(The scene changes to a cave as we see the vampires alive again. The Vampire King clearly looks at his hands.)

The Vampire King: Are we alive again? How is it possible that we're out of Marceline's body?

(The vampires look around as the Vampire King uses his sword.)

The Vampire King: Could we get our revenge on Marceline?

(The scene explodes to white with the title "Marceline: Vampire Killer." The scene fades up to Marceline who walks to the graveyard. At the Fire Kingdom, Flame Princess takes a speech for her people.)

Flame Princess: A few years ago, Marceline killed the vampires in the Land of Ooo. He killed The Fool, The Empress, The Hierophant, The Moon, and The Vampire King himself. He was transformed into the dark cloud. Thanks to Marceline Abadeer, she sucked it like a vacuum, becoming a vampire again. Ever since Ooo was in peace, the vampires are alive again in the cave. And also, her mother will be resurrected and her name will be revealed. If she brings her mother back to life, she will be alive when she'll be happy to see her. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your visit here at Fire Kingdom. (Flame People applaud)

(Meanwhile at her house, she brings her mother back to life by reading the book of the dead.)

Marceline: (in mythical language) Let my mother come alive! Give life! Give my mother life! (Thunder crashes) She's... She's not burnt up. Let me check her pulse. (tries to check her mother's pulse, but nothing) It's nothing? (sighs) What was I thinking this time? What have I missed? Surely, I looked up the book about resurrecting dead people, but I can't blame anyone but myself. (Marceline's mother wakes up and looks at her hands then she sees her daughter)

Marceline's Mom: Am I dreaming? What happened? Where am I? Who are you?

Marceline: I brought you back to life, you're not dreaming, you're in my house, I'm Marceline.

Marceline's Mom: It is you. Oh, my Glob, I can't believe you're alive. You're big and old. (they hug each other) You brought me back to life. (chuckles) My beautiful daughter Marceline! Oh, you got a neck bite. Last time I saw you, you were a child. Now, look at you. You're older.

Marceline: I know. Can I ask you something?

Marceline's Mom: Oh. (chuckles) Sorry, I'm actually too excited. Of course you can.

Marceline: What happened to you?

Marceline's Mom: You've been gone for so long. When you disappeared as the annihilation started, I was out there looking for you so I was worried that much. You met Simon Petrikov who becomes the Ice King. He seems so... cool, but handsome. But years went by, you've never been coming back. The days were doomed. When you grew up to be a teenager, you staked a vampire and scared away the family. Your survival of the fittest began where you staked The Empress, The Moon, The Fool, The Hierophant, and The Vampire King himself. When you became a human again, your powers were gone until you stake them again in the Land of Ooo. But all that doesn't matter anymore. You're alive!

Marceline: Thanks, Mom. I knew you believe in me. (they shake hands)

Marceline's Mom: You're welcome. I knew you believe in me, too.

(The door knocks)

Marceline: Huh. Someone knocks at the door. I'll go answer it.

(Marceline walks to the door, opens it, and sees Flame Princess in surprise.)

Marceline: Hello.

Flame Princess: Hi. I'm Flame Princess. You're Marceline, right? (Marceline nods) And you brought your mother back to life.

Marceline: I certainly did.

Flame Princess: Good, and you may call me Phoebe.

Marceline: I guess you're welcome here. Come on in.

Flame Princess: As you wish. (she enters the house) So this is where you live with your.... mother?

Marceline's Mom: Oh. Hello. I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

Flame Princess: Oh, uh, it's all right. Can I at least know your real name, please?

Marceline's Mom: Sure. Allow me to introduce to myself: I'm Marion Abadeer.

Flame Princess: Marion? Huh. Well, that's a really cool name.

Marion: I know, right? It seems so incredible.

Flame Princess: Wow. So anyway, let's meet Finn.

Marceline: You got it.

(Outside the house, Marceline opens the door and tries to fly, but fails then the sunlight burns her neck bite.)

Marceline: What happened? Where are my powers?

Flame Princess: I don't know, but I know where your powers are. Let's meet Finn first.

(Meanwhile at the cave, the vampires play their instruments.)

The Fool: Sheesh, this is weird, right? (flies to Vampire King) Look, I got both my teeth again. I actually cared about resurrection. How come we're alive again?

(The Vampire King grabs him and sucks his tooth out of his mouth. He spits out tooth, which hits Fool in the eye.)

The Vampire King: I know, we're alive again. Take a milkshake if you eat the shade of a cherry.

The Empress: Milkshake, huh? That's the favorite dessert to drink. (places the glass harmonica on the ground) Wow. We're alive again. Looks like we've been staked again.

The Hierophant: Yes, I know we're all alive again. So how come we got back here? It finally happens that we got out of Marceline's body, but how did we get out of here? Listen, no one knows and no one cares. (The Empress scoffs)

The Fool: Come to think of it, I don't even know how we got out of here in the second place. (yawns) I guess I seem so relentlessly tired. (The Empress hypnotizes him) Oops, I'm hypnotized. (slaps himself in the face, spins uncontrollably and crushes The Moon's head. The Moon sways The Fool away and regenerates her head) Ha-ha! Maybe a gold leaf tastes perfect.

The Vampire King: The gold leaf was so dumb. It didn't taste like anything.

The Empress: Yeah, every gold leaf doesn't taste like anything. (Vampire King sighs)

The Moon: You know what? It doesn't matter how we're gonna take our revenge on Marceline, but it does. We can rebuild our realm and army. We must hide somewhere so Marceline and her friends can't find us at night. (Vampire King hums and dances with a cow) Your Majesty, are you feeling better now?

The Vampire King: Oh, yes. I'm actually feeling better now. (chuckles then resumes humming and eats a shade of cherry)

The Hierophant: Your Majesty, maybe we can hide somewhere at night like the other places, you know. Maybe we can do something when we get our revenge. Maybe, uh...

The Vampire King: Yes? Go on. Come on, don't be too shy.

The Hierophant: Oh, yes. Rebuild the army.

The Vampire King: Ah, that sounds like a great plan. Fool, I need you to rebuild the army so we can have our revenge on Marceline.

The Fool: Yes, Your Majesty. (activates the computer and rebuilds the army made out of cherries)

The Vampire King: What the Glob is this?

The Fool: Your vampire army, Your Majesty.

The Vampire King: Vampire army? They look more like... (looks at the dial) Fool, you set the dial to cherry army!

The Fool: Oh, I'm sure they're made of cherries. Let me try again. (changes the dial) Like that?

The Vampire King: Yes, now that's more like it.

The Fool: Let's get this thing started. (presses the button and the army changes to the vampire)

The Vampire King: That's better.

The Hierophant: (transforms into a warthog and growls) Do what you like. I know what's right. (caterwauls into the forest)

The Empress: If you're probably gonna wander, I'll walk to the Earldom of Lemongrab. Ci vedremo presto, boys. (walks to the Earldom of Lemongrab)

(The Moon moves to the Red Rock Pass and leaves pearls. The Vampire King relaxes for a while and drinks a chocolate milkshake then The Fool chomps some maraschino cherries. At the tree fort, Finn reads a book and Jake takes some push-ups while Peppermint Butler takes some dance-fighting lessons.)

Peppermint Butler: All right, finished with my dance-fighting lessons.

Finn: So, that's it? You just finished your dance-fighting lessons?

Peppermint Butler: Yes, so I'm pretty good like others, my friend.

Jake: Oh, yes.

Finn: I might be going somehow to assume that wants to try to take everything in its power to win.

Peppermint Butler: Oh, right. (the door knocks) Huh. I'll go answer it. (walks to the door, tries to reach it but can't) I can't reach it.

Finn: Here, let me try. You might wanna stand back. (Peppermint Butler stands back) Good butler. (opens the door and sees Marceline, Marion and Flame Princess) Oh. Hi, Marcy.

Marceline: Hi, Finn. Have you ever met my mom? I brought her back to life.

Finn: Oh. Oh, yes, I know her. Come on in. (Marceline and Flame Princess enter) Hi.

Marion: Oh. Hi, Finn. I'm Marion Abadeer, and I'm her mother.

Finn: Wow. Aren't you her mother from her past?

Marion: Yep. I've been looking for Marceline everywhere so she brought me back to life.

Finn: I guess this calls for a family reunion.

Marion: Oh, yes. A family reunion. Should we have a meeting?

Finn: Yes, so let's have a meeting at the tree house. And this is where your daughter lived there.

Marion: (shakes her head and looks at the tree house) Wow. I know she lived in the treehouse, so why would she live in her house at the caves? I literally think the caves seem too scary. (chuckles) Just kidding. I wouldn't say that again.

BMO: So, does that mean I could literally tell jokes in the treehouse?

Marion: Oh. Hi, who are you?

BMO: I'm BMO, Vinny invented me many years ago. I'd like you to meet Lady Rainicorn.

Lady Rainicorn: (in Korean) Good afternoon.

(Scene cuts to Finn, Marceline, Lady Rainicorn, BMO, Peppermint Butler, Jake, Marion and Flame Princess in a meeting.)

Marceline: So, I deliberately staked The Fool at the cave, The Empress at the Ice Kingdom, Crunchy pushed The Hierophant into Jake-house, Peppermint Butler staked The Moon with a big stake at Candy Kingdom, and Vampire King's been turned into a lion.

Marion: Oh, yes. So that's how you survived. Jake, what did you see? Let me draw on the sketchbook.

Jake: Okay, there was one that looked like if a baby snake was a baby-baby. (Marion scribbles in the sketchbook and shows an illustration of a larva-like thing with its tongue out on top)​​​​​​ Nah, that's not right. There was another one that looked like if an ant hill were a girl. (Marion scribbles another, shows illustration of ant hill with eyelashes and lips) Nah, that's not right. There's one of them that looked like a wet uncle. (Marion scribbles another, shows illustration of a face with a tie, messy hair and moustache with teardrops) Nah, that's not right. There was a lady who looked like black drapes on a cake pop. (Marion scribbles another, shows illustration of a cake pop and drapes) Nah, that's not right. There was also one that looked like an angry stop sign coming out of a loaf of bread. (Marion scribbles another, shows illustration of what looks like a epicanthic folded face between two sides) Nah, that's not... Oh, actually, that one's pretty close.

Marceline: Wait, what?

(Marceline grabs the paper from the sketchbook, gasps and remembers about fighting The Vampire King at the boat)

The Vampire King: You can stop this now, Marceline, it's not too late. You've got power now. I see it. But you haven't paid a price. It's making you crazy. Marceline, there's no one left but me. Would you wipe out an entire species?

Marceline: For the last time, yes! That is literally my entire plan!

The Vampire King: So be it then.

(Marceline throws her broken guitar, chuckles and flies at Vampire King then he flies at her)

The Vampire King: I gave you one chance, Marcel...

Marceline: Blah, blah, blah, blah!

(Vampire King and Marceline collide, grab each other and fall to the floor.)

The Vampire King: You know, Marceline, there's still another way.

Marceline: Give it a rest already!

The Vampire King: No, another 'nother way to save my people. (uses his fangs to bite her neck)

Marceline: Wait! (grunts) Noooo!

(Vampire King manages to bite her neck while he gets staked then her eyes turn red and she screams in agony then The Vampire King explodes. The scene changes to Marion who rubs Marceline's neck.)

Marion: So he bit your neck.

Marceline: Yes. He just bit my neck many, many years ago. I must have my vengeance on The Vampire King for what he did to my neck.

Finn: So what's the plan, Marcy? How can we kill them?

Princess Bubblegum: Maybe I can be of some assistance.

Finn: PB? What are you doing here?

Princess Bubblegum: Just bringing some weapons to kill the vampires again. (unrolls the roll and reveals the weapons) As you can see, I made the weapons that'll help them kill the vampires. Like this one for example, a red blade sword.

Marceline: Really? (picks up the red sword) Wow. That looks really red-ical. (chuckles) Red-ical.

Marion: Was that a joke? Are you making jokes now?

Marceline: Maybe. (Marion chuckles softly) I'll take this to kill The Vampire King and his army.

Jake: Great idea.

Peppermint Butler: So what's that behind your ear? (takes out the garlic bomb and gasps) The garlic bomb.

Marion: So, what's with all the weapons including the garlic bomb that'll kill the vampires? That'll never work.

Peppermint Butler: Come on, it might work.

Marceline: All right, let's go vampire-hunting.

All: Yeah!

(The scene changes to Marceline and Flame Princess who look for the door in the forest)

Flame Princess: Hmm. Are you sure this is the door to the vampires?

Marceline: I sure am, but I think the cave looks empty. No sign of The Vampire King.

Flame Princess: Huh. Maybe we'll just have to look for tracks or clues.

Finn: Yeah, we're ready to look for tracks and clues. (the bomb is about to slip then he carefully holds it and chuckles nervously)

Marceline: Let's go, Phoebe.

Flame Princess: Got it.

(They walk until Flame Princess bumps into an invisible door)

Flame Princess: Uhh! Huh. (touches an invisible door) That's odd. (the bomb shatters)

Finn: Oops. (coughing)

Peppermint Butler: Oh, no! My bomb! (he accidentally slips)

(Finn and Jake cough and heave)

Marceline: Um, are you sure they might be all right?

Marion: I'm pretty sure they might be, Marceline. So, be careful, okay?

Marceline: Okay.

Marion: Good. Come on, boys. Let's get you all cleaned up.

Marceline: I know you're in there, Vampire King.

Flame Princess: Yeah, we know you're in there. Face us. (an invisible door opens) Wow.

(they walk into the door)

Marceline: Hello, Vampire King.

The Vampire King: Hello. I've been waiting for you, Marceline.

The Fool: Marceline! Look at me! I'm all grown up now!

The Vampire King: I see you brought Flame Princess. You got something to say?

The Fool: (blows raspberries)

Flame Princess: I know you must've let her beat you.

The Vampire King: Oh, really?

Flame Princess: Yes, really.

The Vampire King: I know your bite mark seems gone that much. Anyway, you don't need to worry, I've changed, as well. I only eat fruits and vegetables. Just like everyone else. (eats the shade of a strawberry) Does that mean you can fight me again after you staked my army, Marceline?

Marceline: It doesn't matter how you eat fruits and vegetables. (grabs The Fool)

Flame Princess: And you bit her neck because you've done enough already to get staked a thousand times over.

The Vampire King: I see what you're actually saying, Phoebe.

Flame Princess: (scoffs) So you knew my name.

The Fool: Smell my feet, Marceline. I promise you won't regret it. (Marceline stabs him with a red sword) Ooh! Your loss. (chuckles)

(Marceline sucks The Fool's soul, regaining his ability of flight.)

The Vampire King: Hmm. Perhaps you'll have a swordfight for 30 seconds because I have a sword right here.

Flame Princess: Oh, yeah? Well, I got an orange sword.

The Vampire King: Oh. Well, then we'll have a swordfight after you kill my servants and army. And one more thing, Marceline: You're gonna have time to play while The Empress makes way to the Earldom of Lemongrab.

(The Empress runs to the Earldom of Lemongrab)

Marceline: (gasps) Oh, Glob! Come on!

(Marceline and Flame Princess run to the Earldom of Lemongrab as they close the door. The scene cuts to the forest as Marceline and Flame Princess keep running until they fly to Earldom of Lemongrab. At the throne room, Lemongrab dozes off at his chair.)

Lemongrab: (snoring) I can't go to school today. I got home alone to do. Unaccepta... Aaah! Homeworks! (footsteps shuffle) Huh? What was that? Hello? (The Empress walks to Lemongrab)

The Empress: Hello, Lemongrab.

Lemongrab: (screams) Oh, The Empress! Hey.

The Empress: What, you can't remember anything?

Lemongrab: Actually, I can. So you're from the cave, right?

The Empress: Yep. I certainly am from the cave. So you might be considering about my death where I get staked at the Ice Kingdom. You got any lemons?

Lemongrab: I'm sorry?

The Empress: Just kidding, I need you to be hypnotized. (a snake opens her headscarf and she begins to hypnotize her) Sell your spirit to the skies. Surrender to the Empress' eyes. (Lemongrab becomes hypnotized and falls asleep then she snaps her fingers)

Lemongrab: Empress, my angel! My great eternal love! Oh, sorry. Can I help you?

The Empress: I think you got blood or lemons, right?

Lemongrab: Oh! (he runs and grabs a bag of lemons)

The Empress: (looks at his journal and chuckles) This is so funny.

Lemongrab: Here's lemons. (chuckles)

The Empress: What's this?

Lemongrab: This is lemons. It's got juice that you can literally make them for recipes.

The Empress: That's funny. (sniffs a lemon)

Lemongrab: Maybe it's very interesting that it could come in handy for recipes like lemon cupcakes. So delicious, right?

The Empress: (takes a bite on a lemon and throws it away) Bleargh! Tastes like lemonheads. Where's the domain blood exactly?

Lemongrab: (becomes shock and drops a bag of lemons) Oh, don't be like that, Mrs. Empress! I'll fix it, I'll do anything for you.

The Empress: Then bring me Finn right now!

Lemongrab: You got it.

(Outside the Earldom of Lemongrab, Marceline and Flame Princess fly and see The Empress read Lemongrab's journal.)

The Empress: "And then, the vampire lady met me and she talked about Finn and she asked me to capture her badly." Ha! I'd forgotten that one. (chuckles)

Flame Princess: Aha. The Empress.

(At the tree fort, Jake and Fern relax for a while.)

Jake: Hmm. No wonder this book has rhyme or reason. I guess it'll work out somehow. (a branch snaps as he yelps and throws a stake at something) Oh. It was just something else.

(Finn walks to Jake and Fern after he yawns.)

Finn: Hey, Fern, how's it hanging?

Fern: Well, I think we're ready to fight the vampires.

Finn: Oh, really? Well, it doesn't seem possible, but okay. I think we'll watch Marceline kill the vampires.

Fern: Oh. That's what I thought.

Jake: Actually, I think I was having a relaxation and I was like: Stoop, stoop, sittin' on the stoop (X5)

Finn: Is that an urchin or something? (sees a staked peach) Looks like the peach's been staked. What'd you do with it?

Jake: Oh. I actually heard something snapping so loudly that I had to throw a stake at it.

Finn: Dude, that was a peach that Marceline doesn't like.

Jake: (nervously) Yeeegh! She doesn't have to know I staked a peach! Let's blame it on the vampires! Or we can hide it! (hides the peach) Whoo! Problem solved? Yeah? (Finn and Jake high five) Whoop! (runs back inside)

Lemongrab: Snap! (breaks a branch)

Finn: (yelps) What was that?! Vampiyah! Aah! Aah! Hyah! Hah!

Lemongrab: (breaks another branch) Snap, snap, snappin' branches for fun.
