FIONA: Oh Little Frog!
MATT: Here Froggy, Froggy!
KIRSTEN the LIZARD LADY: Lizard! Oh Mr. Lizard!
FIONA: Froggy!
KIRSTEN: Lizard!
MATT: Baseball hat! Where are you?
Fiona and Kirsten see each other.
BOTH: Excuse me…
FIONA: Oh, you first.
KIRSTEN: I don’t suppose you have seen a lizard, have you? I’ve been searching and searching, but I can’t seem to find him. It’s almost as though he’s hiding from me.
FIONA: I’m sorry. We haven’t seen any lizards.
MATT: We’re looking for a frog.
KIRSTEN: Oh, a little guy about this tall?
FIONA: Yes!
KIRSTEN: I’m afraid he may be gone for good. I saw the Zombie Puppets taking him to the fortress of the Goblin King, and once someone goes there, they seldom return.
FIONA: We have to save the Little Frog. Will you help us?
KIRSTEN: I can’t help you. But I know who can.
MATT and FIONA: Who?
KIRSTEN: The Great and Powerful Lizard of Bogs.
MATT: The Wizard of Oz?
KIRSTEN: No, no. That would be copyright infringement. I said the Lizard of Bogs. You see, I am a scientist. I have dedicated my life to the study of reptiles. I have encountered every type of lizard you can think of: caiman, crocodile, iguana, gecko – you name it. But there is one lizard who is the wisest and most wonderful, the Lizard of Bogs. He can solve all of your problems. And I’m hoping he will solve mine.
MATT: What’s your problem?
KIRSTEN: I don’t want to be human anymore. I want to be turned into a lizard.
MATT: Oh. (Moves carefully to Fiona. Speaking in a sing-songy voice: ) Someone has been sprinkled with coo-coo dust.
KIRSTEN: the Lizard can help you. Oh he is so marvelous, I can’t wait to see him.
