Delta Dawn: We overslept! We overslept? We overslept.

Clock: Wake up, little halflings! Wake up! What year is it?

(alarm ringing)

Delta Dawn: Oh, no. This is bad. No. No! No. [yells] Clampers! Get up. Get up. We got to go. Come on. We're gonna be late for... [Clampers burst through the door open and hits her aunt by the nose] Oh!

Clampers Buttonwillow: [groggily] I'm gonna chew it to you... [she pulls her thumb out of her mouth, grunts] What's goin' on?

Delta Dawn: Ah, I forgot to set the clock for daylight savings!

Clampers Buttonwillow: What?!

Clock: Daylight can't be saved, Delta.

Delta Dawn: [she grabs a leather backpack and grabs some items] Oh, I got to get the plant and the bug we got to plant.

Clampers Buttonwillow: Grab whatever. We got to go.

Clock: Don't panic. Do not panic.

(They bump unto each other)

Delta Dawn: Ow. [groans]

Clock: Godspeed, girls!

Clampers Buttonwillow: [grabs a skateboard] Let's roll.

Delta Dawn: Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa...!

(They get to the closet)

Delta Dawn: [she grabs the clothes and jumps inside a trapdoor, but her niece grabs the skateboard and slams her lower-half inside] Aaaah!

Clampers Buttonwillow: Upsies. I need upsies...! [she gets dragged by Delta inside the trapdoor]

Delta Dawn: Oh!

(Delta helps Clampers get their clothes)

Delta Dawn: Get dressed.

(both grunting and groaning)

Clampers Buttonwillow: [they come out and her jacket's backwards] What have you done to me?! [grunts]

Delta Dawn: No, really? Do I really need to wear the same clothes? [the garage door is about to close] Oh, no. No, no, it's leavin'.

(Delta slides down under the garage door, but Clampers slams it)

Delta Dawn: [the bus starts to leave] Wait, no, no. Stop! Stop, stop, stop. Come back! Wait, come back! Great, sweetie. What are we gonna do now?

Clampers Buttonwillow: [whistling]

(Precious comes out in slow-mo, she sees Delta and snorts angrily)

Delta Dawn: [slo-mo] Oh, no!

Clampers Buttonwillow: Precious, my noble steed. We must not be late for our first day of school. [pulls out a carrot and they eat it]

Delta Dawn: Oh, gross.

Troll: Huh?

(Delta screams in fear)

Clampers Buttonwillow: Tallyho, Precious!

Delta Dawn: This Saddle Spider hates me. Oh!

Clampers Buttonwillow: It's not that she hates you, Aunt Delta. She just doesn't respect you.

Delta Daw: [screams, whimpers]

(horns honking)

Delta Dawn: Go left! Go left!

Clampers Buttonwillow: I'm gonna go where navigation says.

Automated Voice: Turn left.

Clampers Buttonwillow: Thank you, navigation.

Delta Dawn: Whoa!
