Hilda and the Sea Kingdom/Transcript

This is the full transcript of the 2024 film Hilda and the Sea Kingdom.

Prologue
(The Sony, Sony Pictures Animation, and the Walden Media logo appear. When the WM logo finishes, we go underwater to a sea kingdom. There, some mermans and Pingo are assembling something.)

Pingo: Lower it down, boys! That thing must not be spotted by Lord Bastardly, or else we're doomed.

(Then, Lir, a water witch, pops up.)

Lir: I'm here, sir.

Pingo: Ah, what was your name again?

Lir: I'm Lir.

Pingo: Alright, Lir. You're in charge while I'm gone. I've got some business to do.

Lir: On it!

(Pingo leaves the scene, as Lir takes charge.)

Merman: Where's Pingo?

Lir: I'm taking his place while he's gone.

Merman: Okay.

(Suddenly, an electric shock causes the merman to flinch, dropping the crate. Lir casts a spell to prevent it from touching the ground.)

Merman: Thanks, Lir.

Lir: You owe me for that.

(The screen fades out, with some opening credits. The logo "Hilda and the Sea Kingdom" appears.)

Part 1
(Fade in to Trolberg, where Hilda and Johanna are walking down a pier.)

Hilda: Look, Mum, they're setting up something by the water!

Johanna: Well, isn't that neat, Hilda?

Hilda: Hold on, is that Alex?

(Alex is there, calling out the workers.)

Alex: Alright everyone, you gotta keep this stage spick and span. We don't want any disturbances here!

Hilda: Alex!

(Alex turns around to see Hilda.)

Alex: Hilda, how are you doing?

Hilda: Fantastic. What's with all these buildings?

Alex: Oh, that? My cousin Xavier, one of the greatest competition hosts in the world, is hosting a water competition right here in Trolberg! He put me in charge of the construction of the stage.

Hilda: Nice! When's he coming here?

Alex: He should be here in about... now.

(A limo pulls up near a building. Coming out of the limo is Xavier.)

Xavier: Hey, Alex! Long time no see!

Alex: Xavier!

(Both Alex and Xavier hug.)

Xavier: How's the construction here?

Alex: It's going fine.

Xavier: My last competition in New York was crazy and hilarious! When the winner got the money, he literally spread it all around, making the crowd pick it up. You saw that, right?

Alex: Did I see it? Well, of course I did. Why wouldn't I?

Xavier: Sure you did. And who's this blue-haired girl?

Alex: Her? That's Hilda. She saved our world from this crazy spirit.

Xavier: Wow, that must be traumatic.

Hilda: But such is the life of an adventurer.

Johanna: Nice to meet you. I'm Hilda's mum, Johanna. When's the competition starting?

Xavier: Next week at the latest. Expect some crazy stunts from the people who signed up for this competition. And there's gonna be a hundred-thousand dollar prize if you're asking what the prize will be.

Johanna: A hundred-thousand dollars? Must be a great prize, if you ask me.

Xavier: Very great. Well, I've gotta go. I'm headed to this 5-star hotel in Trolberg. See you later, fellas!

(Xavier enters his limo and leaves. Alex facepalms himself.)

Hilda: What's wrong?

Alex: I didn't see Xavier's last New York show. He's gonna be so mad if he finds out I didn't see it.

Hilda: Why? What's the big deal?

Alex: Because ever since he started that competition show, he's been begging me to see the reruns of it. And I hadn't, because I wasn't interested in those kinds of TV. So now, since I'm here, I'm gonna have to watch this stupid show of his.

Hilda: But wouldn't that be a good thing to see your relative do something spectacular for once?

Alex: It would, if he wasn't too strict.

Hilda: It can't be that bad, can it?

Alex: No, it wouldn't.

Worker: Uh, boss? Shouldn't we be taking a break from this? We've worked on this all night.

Alex: Yeah, sure. Go get yourselves something to eat.

(He gives some money to the worker.)

Worker: Thanks, boss.

Alex: Don't mention it. Alright, Hilda, Johanna, we're gonna wrap this up. We're almost done with this stage, so don't expect me to show up later at your house.

Hilda: Okay. See you later, I guess.

Alex: See ya.

(Hilda and Johanna leave the pier.)

Hilda: I don't get it.

Johanna: What don't you get?

Hilda: Why Alex hates those kinds of shows. They're kind of decent.

Johanna: Hilda, don't intervene. I'm sure Alex will get used to those game shows sooner or later.

Hilda: That's the problem, Mum! His cousin always asks him to watch reruns of his game shows.

Johanna: I'm sure they'll solve it out later at some point before the show begins.

Hilda: Let's hope you're right.

Part 2
(At dusk, a machine known as the Black O.R.B. appears in a trashcan, seeing Hilda, Twig, Alfur, Frida, and David.)

Hilda: So then, he told me that he doesn't like Xavier's show because he's "not used" to those kinds of TV genre.

David: It's strange that Alex never told me that he had a cousin.

Frida: Agreed. Oh, David, I forgot something back at your house. Can you go get it for me?

David: Certainly.

(He runs to get Frida's forgotten item.)

Alfur: Man, David's the best at these kinds of things, right?

Frida: Yeah, I might agree on that.

(In an alleyway, David hears something.)

David: What's that? Hello?

(He walks into the alleyway. He hears something rattling in a trashcan. He opens it. Inside he found The Black O.R.B. He grabbed it)

David: Aww, look at this thing! So cute!

(But then that thing opened his eye, and did a angry expression)

David: Uh-oh. HUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH!!!!

(The Black O.R.B. makes a weird and loud noise at David, who throws him and runs away from it.)

David: What the flippin' heck did I even do to you?!

(Meanwhile...)

Hilda: Did you hear that?

Frida: Hear what?

Hilda: That sounded like David. Something's not right here.

Alfur: Should we go check?

Hilda: Yeah.

(Hilda, Frida, Alfur, and Twig run to David. There, they see him being chased by the Black O.R.B.)

Hilda: What the heck is that thing?!

(The Black O.R.B. hears Hilda and hides.)

David: Hilda, you saved me.

Hilda: Anytime. But you owe me.

David: I'll repay you.

Frida: David, what was that thing that was chasing you?

David: I don't know. It was a large ball that had legs and a small hat with a red dot on it.

Hilda: That can't be the Spirit of the Lost Ring, is it? I've destroyed him weeks ago!

David: It shouldn't. This one's different.

Frida: You know what? How about we just go to your house together?

David: Good idea.

Alfur: And going out alone is not safe, with that thing out there.

(The Black O.R.B. records the conversation. It then sends it back to Pir, the creator of the Black O.R.B.)

Pir: Sir, I've got some video you'd like to see.

Lord Bastardly: (off-screen) Let me see that.

(He watches the video.)

Lord Bastardly: That kid and his other friends must be stopped. Get the Black O.R.B. to continue following them.

Pir: Mostly the male one. He's more concerned about that.

Lord Bastardly: And the rest?

Pir: Not so much.

Lord Bastardly: Okay, you can keep the eyes on the male.

Pir: Thanks, Lord Bastardly.

(Cut back to Trolberg, where the group are at David's house.)

David: Here you go, Frida. Have yourselves a good night!

Frida: Thanks, David. And you too.

(David closes the door.)

Frida: Hilda, Alfur, you don't think the thing that was chasing David is a new threat, right?

Hilda and Alfur: What do you mean?

Frida: David said that the orb had a red dot on it. But that can only mean one thing.

Hilda: Frida, I've said this already. It's not the Spirit of the Lost Ring.

Frida: Yeah, but what if it's something that's not related to him? Hm? Maybe it's something that was spying on us! Like somewhere from out there!

Hilda: But that's impossible.

Alfur: Hilda, I think Frida's right.

Hilda: What are you talking about, Alfur?

Alfur: Something like that was not ancient-made, or made in Trolberg.

Hilda: Don't be on her side!

Alfur: I'm just stating the facts.

Hilda: You know what? Just do you, Alfur.

(At night, the Black O.R.B. is back, this time, in David's house. David is fast asleep. The Black O.R.B. records David.)

Lord Bastardly: Why are you recording the boy in his sleep?

Pir: What? You'll never know what he might do at night!

(As the Black O.R.B. leaves, it accidentally knocks over something, waking up David.)

David: Ah! Who's there?

(He looks around, only to see nothing.)

David: Huh.

(He goes back to sleep.)

Lord Bastardly: Now look what you just did!

Pir: I didn't do that!

(The Black O.R.B. leaves David's house. At morning, Hilda and Frida are running to David's house. They accidentally hit someone.)

Hilda: Sorry!

(They arrive at David's house. Frida knocks.)

David: Oh, thank goodness! You made it just in time! Come, there's something I need to show you!

(They go upstairs to David's room, who reveals scratches on the window sill.)

Hilda: Who did this?

David: I don't know, but it has markings on it.

Frida: Could you figure out what it's from?

(David examines the scratches.)

David: It looks like they came from legs.

Hilda: It can't be Twig. There's no way he'd climb up here.

David: I agree on that, too. Unless...

(David gasps.)

David: It must be from that orb. The one that was chasing me earlier.

Frida: That thing?

(The Black O.R.B. comes back, this time, on the walls. It spies on Hilda, Frida, and David.)

David: Yeah. Look at the scratches, because it looks like it.

Hilda: David, stop. It's a one-time thing. It's not gonna happen again.

(The orb crawls up behind the trio. Frida spots it first.)

Frida: Uh, guys? We've got company.

(Hilda and David turn around to see it.)

David: And you said it's a one-time thing.

Hilda: What is that thing?! I've never seen it before.

(The Black O.R.B. proceeds to jump onto David in slow-motion and attacks him first.)

Hilda and Frida: David!

David: Ah! Get it off!

(Hilda attempts to get the orb off David. But the orb instead goes on her.)

Hilda: Stupid thing!

(The orb then goes to Frida.)

Frida: Whoa!

(Hilda knocks the orb with a bat.)

Hilda: There. That should do the trick.

(Unfortunately, the orb is still in-contact, and gets up.)

Hilda: Or not.

(The orb leaves the house, as David's mum and dad enter David's room.)

David's Mum: What's with all the ruckus up here? Oh.

(The room is eventually messed up, and Hilda, Frida, and David are completely messed up.)

David's Mum: What happened here?

David's Dad: Yeah, how is all this possible?

David: Nothing, we were just playing around and then things got aggressive.

David's Mum: Okay. I guess we'll leave you three alone for now.

David: Thanks!

(They leave. The trio then sigh.)

Hilda: You think this is gonna happen again?

David: Time will tell. But it's extremely likely.

(In the operating room...)

Pir: Look out, kids. For this thing will not rest until you're destroyed once and for all.

(Cut back to Trolberg, where Hilda, Frida, and David are running to Alex's shop. However, it is closed.)

Hilda: Are you kidding me?!

(She sees a note.)

Hilda: "This store is currently closed due to the upcoming water competition hosted by Xavier. I apologize for any inconvenience. Sincerely, Alex."

David: Oh no, what are we gonna do?

Hilda: Wait a minute! Alex told me the other day that he would be in Greece to meet someone, so we'll just call him.

Frida: Great idea.

(The screen cuts to Hilda's house.)

Hilda: Hi, Mum! I need to borrow this for a while.

(She takes the telephone.)

Johanna: Go ahead.

(Hilda dials Alex's number. He picks up.)

Alex: Hello?

Hilda: Alex, it's me, Hilda.

Alex: Hilda? Hi!

Hilda: Hello. So David has been encountering a strange orb that's been following him since yesterday. We encountered it earlier this morning, and then we got into a fight with it.

Alex: Can you describe the appearance of it?

Hilda: From what I can remember, David said its body was a large black ball with four legs, and a red dot on a part shaped like a cap.

Alex: Hmm... I'm sorry, but I've never heard such a thing.

Hilda: What do you mean you've never heard such a thing?

Alex: I've never read a book with something like that. But good luck finding details on it!

Hilda: No, no, no, wait!

(He hangs up before Hilda can say anything else.)

Hilda: Great.

Frida: Alex doesn't have any relevance to it?

Hilda: Nope.

David: This is not good. First, we encounter something mysterious, and now, Alex is unable to help us!

Hilda: Chill, David. It's not the end of the world (again). We'll find a way to get rid of that thing from your life.

(Cut to an internet cafe in Oslo Airport, where Alex is on a computer, looking up the details that Hilda described the orb.)

Alex: She said "a large black ball with four legs and a red dot on a cap-shaped part". Search.

(He enters the search query on the search engine, which sparks only one result.)

Alex: Huh. That's weird.

(He clicks on the result. There, he reads the info on it.)

Alex: Oh dear.

Part 3
Johanna: So I got a call from Alex saying that he's coming back to Trolberg in a couple of minutes via train, so I'm gonna pick him up.

Hilda: Can we come too?

Johanna: I don't see why not.

(Johanna leaves with Hilda, Frida, David, Twig, and Alfur.)

David: Oh, this isn't good.

Johanna: What's not good?

David: Nothing.

(The trio try to keep themselves as quiet as possible, so that Johanna doesn't hear their conversation.)

David: You can't make me come with you! Not with that thing still out there, looking for me!

Hilda: I understand that this orb is disturbing you, but I believe Alex's got it covered.

Frida: Didn't you say that he had no relevance to it earlier?

Hilda: I did, but it might have changed now. He may know all about it now.

Frida: Let's hope you're right.

Alfur: What are you guys talking about here?

Hilda: Remember that orb we saw yesterday?

Alfur: Yeah.

Hilda: Well, it's attacked us again.

Alfur: Looks like I might've been right.

(At the train station outside Trolberg but within city walls, a train arrives, with one of the passengers being Alex.)

Alex: Guys! You're here!

Johanna: Of course; why wouldn't we?

Alex: I could've taken a cab home, but okay.

Hilda: So you've gotten it?

Alex: Gotten what?

Hilda: The info.

Alex: Oh, yeah! I did.

(The Black O.R.B. is back at it again.)

Pir: Who the heck are these two now?

Lord Bastardly: Who cares? Just get the kids.

Pir: If you'd say so. Black O.R.B., attack!

(The Black O.R.B. flies at the group.)

Johanna: Oh, what?!

(The orb attacks David again. Twig tries to get back at it.)

Alex: Whoa!

Citizen Boy: What the!?

CItizen Woman: That's an flying orb?? RUN EVERYONE!!!

(The other citizens starts to panic, and run away like cowards. Everything turned into a chaos in that moment.)

Alfur: What's that?!

Hilda: I don't know!

(The orb continues attacking. Hilda tries to fight him off, while Johanna is hide with Alex and the others. Eventually a Trolberg Safety Patrol officer manages to catch it.)

Officer 1: Don't worry, guys. This thing is under Safety Patrol management.

Frida: Where are you taking that thing?

Officer 1: That's classifed!

Frida: Oh okay...

David: Thanks for the help, Safety Patrol.

Officer 2: Oh ho ho... Anytime. Bye bye!

(The officers leaves on a pretty fast way on their car while the Black O.R.B was trying to get free from the cage he was)

Pir: Damn it!

Lord Badstardly: What!?

Pir: They got him!

Lord Badstardly: Well, order him to find a way to get out of there quickly!!

Pir: Yes sir!!!

(Pir teleports to another place)

Johanna: Hilda, what was that thing?

Hilda: We're not sure about it.

David: All we know it's that he's just an orb that wants to kill us for some reason! We don't even what it's that thing fully.

Alex: Actually, I might do. It's called the Black O.R.B. I can't tell what O.R.B. means, but that's besides the point. I looked it up earlier and it's something that's only from the sea.

Hilda: The sea?

Alex: Yes. Though no one knows how it's made.

Hilda: Strange.

Alex: "Strange" is what I'd describe this orb.

David: Okay.

Alex: Anyways, enough of that. I've gotta head to the pier. Xavier's waiting for me.

Hilda: Didn't you say that you didn't like him?

Alex: What are you talking about? I do like him as part of the family. It's just his type of programs that I don't like.

(Hilda is confused.)

Alex: You know what? Nevermind. I'll catch you up later.

(He leaves for the pier.)

Johanna: Something's up here.

Hilda: What do you mean?

Johanna: That orb has something to do with you, doesn't it?

Hilda: Okay, yes, it does. But it all began yesterday, when it started stalking David.

Johanna: And why is that?

Hilda: How are we supposed to know? We just found out about this thing!

Johanna: Fair point. Fair point. But still. Come on, guys, we're going home.

(Hilda, Frida, and David look at each other worried.)

Alfur: Ah, you heard the officer. It's under Trolberg Safety Patrol management, so no need to worry about it anymore!

David: Yeah, but it's highly stealthy! It could escape from the Safety Patrol at any moment now!

Alfur: They've got it under control. It'll be impossible for it to escape without them knowing.

Hilda: You know they're not always trustworthy, right?

Alfur: Come on, Hilda.

Hilda: Ugh, fine.

(They walk back to Johanna's car.)

Part 4
(Back at Hilda's home, she decided to a sleepover with her mom. Something that she never did long ago, they were playing cards, but Johanna saw that Hilda was kinda worried)

Johanna: Are you alright?

Hilda: I am it's just...

Johanna: Don't tell me, you can't stop thinking about that orb thing?

Hilda: Yeah...

Johanna: Well at least let's be thankful that the patrol could take him away. Now we won't deal with that thing anymore!

Hilda: Are you sure about that? I mean, what if he escapes?
