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.

(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
