01x43 - Time Teasers

Post by bunniefuu »

Life is like a hurricane

Here in Duckburg

Racecars, lasers, aeroplanes

It's a duck blur

Might solve a mystery

Or rewrite history

- DuckTales
- Ooh-ooh


Every day they're out there
making DuckTales


Ooh-ooh

Tales of derring-do,
bad and good-luck tales


- D-d-d-danger!
- Watch behind you


- There's a stranger
- Out to find you


What to do?
Just grab on to some DuckTales


Ooh-ooh

Every day they're out there
making DuckTales


Ooh-ooh

Tales of derring-do,
bad and good-luck tales


Ooh-ooh

Not ponytails or cottontails

- No, DuckTales
- Ooh-ooh


Those boys.
Late for breakfast again!

When will they learn?
The early bird catches the...

- What's going on?
- Got anything to eat?

What's happenin'?

Boys, how many times must I tell you...?

We know, Uncle Scrooge.
The early bird catches the worm.

Aye. Words to live by.

Not if you're the early worm.

You're making Gyro's
Invention-of-the-Month Club

deliveries this morning, correct?

Actually, we're going to the Duckburg
Mallards baseball game this morning.

We're gonna do Gyro's deliveries
this afternoon.

Sorry, lads.
It's inventory time

and I need you to stack all my coins
by date, by value and by dinnertime.

But Uncle Scrooge!

You're the only ones
I can trust with that job, you know.

Oh, all right,
Uncle Scrooge.

Good. I'll expect you
at the money bin by noon.

Aw, ten o'clock!
The Mallards baseball game's just starting.

What if they win for once and we miss it?

Our problem is there isn't enough time
to do what we want to do


and what everyone else wants us to do.

Come right in, boys.
I have all your deliveries ready.

The members of my Invention-of-the-Month
Club will love this month's item.

What is it, Gyro?

Something every household needs -
a combination hair dryer/popcorn maker.

Sounds like a winner, all right.

Wait till you see
what I'm working on for next month.

I call it the Time Teaser.
Let me show you how it works.

Don't let anybody take your hats
while I'm gone.

"Take our hats"?

Golly. Where'd he go?

Hey, where'd our hats go?

Quackaroonie!

Gyro, how'd you do that?

You disappeared
and ended up behind us and... and...

Actually, I was moving too fast
for you to see me.

Wow, let us try it!

All right. Let's see.
You all stand here

and watch what happens
when I feed Marilyn.

Oh, wow!
Talk about a fish out of water!

That's not all.
Look outside.

Everything is stopped cold.

Not really. We're moving so fast,
everything just appears to be frozen to us.

When I press the button again... Presto!

Everyone who owns one of these
will have all the time in the world.

They'll never be late for an appointment,
never miss a TV show.

Boy, could we use that!

You boys better get a move-on.
I'm gonna rewire my satellite dish.

- Bye, Gyro.
- Yeah, see ya.

Gee, with Gyro's Time Teaser,
we can finish all our deliveries,

go to the baseball game
and still help Uncle Scrooge.

- Yeah.
- All right!

All we gotta do is load our bikes
and press the button.

Yow! Whoa!

Here goes!

Whoa...

Gee, this Time Teaser is great!

Yeah. We'll finish our deliveries
and still make the game!

Frozen baseball isn't much fun to watch.

It's probably less fun to play.

We'll have to restart time
to enjoy the game.

Oh!

Huh?

The Mallards are losing 16 to nothing!

What's new?
The Mallards always lose.

I know,
but it's still the first inning.

Hey, are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?

Yeah!

Now!

Play ball!

Run, you idiot!

By stopping time with every pitch, we can
help the Mallards win their first game ever!

- Yeah!
- It's about time! Ha-ha!

I can't believe it.
The Mallards are winning, 32 to 16!

Hey, guys.
It's almost noon.

Gee, time caught up with us.

Let's go. It's the last inning.
Even the Mallards can't lose this one.

The Beagle Boys!
They're robbing the stadium ticket booth.

We gotta do something!

Yeah, come on!

Let's restart time and see if it worked.

Ho-ho,
this oughta be good.

Hey, the money!

Wha...?
How'd he get loose?

Take this, copper!

- Huh?
- Let's get out of here.

- Yow!
- Oof!

- What the...?
- Aah!

Gee, they got away.

Well, at least we stopped the robbery.

Sheesh, that was close.

But we lost the loot, Bankjob.

Eh, it was small change anyway,
Babyface.

I say we go back to the old plan -
robbin' Scrooge's money bin! Ha-ha-ha!

Yeah! I like that!

Good idea!

Say, Scrooge has got a lot
of movers working for him today.

That gives me a brilliant idea!
Ha-ha-ha.

Oh, boy.
You never had one of those!

One minute to noon!
Better stop time for a while, Huey.

One minute to noon.
The boys are going to be late again.

Ah, well, one more dive
and then back to work.

We're gonna be right on time!

I just hope Gyro hasn't noticed
his Time Teaser's missing.

Let's let Uncle Scrooge down easy.

Wha...? Oof!

What on Earth is going on here?

Don't be upset, Uncle Scrooge.
We're right on time!

B-but how did you
suddenly appear out of nowhere?

Maybe I better explain,
Mr. McDuck.

Gyro!

Once I press this button, I'll move
so fast, you won't be able to see me.

Gyro, where are...? Hey!

Amazing! Fantastic!

He took the words right out of my mouth.

With this device, a person can do
a day's work in a few minutes.

I don't know, Gyro.
It seems kind of unnatural to me.

Seems perfectly natural to us.

The Beagle Boys!

Get close, fellas.
We're about to have the time of our lives.

No, wait!

Does this mean
we're gonna take all of Scrooge's money?

That's right, Babyface.

We'll have to make, like,
a thousand trips, Bankjob.

That's OK, Bugle.
We got the time!

Hey, something poked me in the ribs.

They're taking your money,
Uncle Scrooge!

And they're moving too fast
for us to stop 'em.

Or we're movin' too slow.

They'll never take this lot.
Yow! Oof.

A couple of more trips and we'll have it all.

Yeah. Heh-heh-heh.
And have plenty of time to spend it, too!

We'll have to unfreeze time
to get out of the country.

My m-m-m-money.
It's all gone!

Not all of it, Uncle Scrooge.
They left a perfect trail for us to follow.

C'mon, lads. I can follow
a trail of coins like a bloodhound.

Not one of mine,
but I can give it a good home.

Tha-That ship!
My money's on that ship. Come back!

Stop him!

Let me go.
Let me go!

Calm down, Uncle Scrooge.
We'll catch up with them.

Well, gag me with a dog biscuit.

- What?
- What is it?

It's, like, Scroogey, man.
He's comin' after us.

You're right.
We better freeze time again.

Let me do it, Bankjob.

Hey, watch out!

You broke it!

- Hey, what...
- What's up?

What on Earth?

Oh, no.
They broke the Time Teaser.

The whole ship disappeared!

It can't be. My money -
vanished into thin air! Again!

Not really, Mr. McDuck.

That steamer and your money
simply slipped into another century.

"Simply slipped"?!

- What? What the...?
- Huh?

We're going back in time!

Gee, there's nothing left
in Duckburg Bay but us.

Ooh, there's a pirate ship!

Pirate ship?

Fire, you mangy sea slugs!

Up the ropes,
you lily-livered bilge rats!

Not a gold doubloon in the lot,
Captain Blackheart.

Well, at least we caught us
some slimy sea dogs.

We're not sea dogs.
We're B-b-beagles.

And we like pirates, honest!

So, you like pirates, do ya?

Well, if you like pirates so much,

you shouldn't mind
giving us some entertainment.

E-e-entertainment?

Aye, at Captain Blackheart's birthday party.
Heh-heh.

My Time Tub can take us
anywhere in time, Mr. McDuck.

But where in time
has my money gone, Gyro?

The Beagles b*rned a hole
in the fabric of time.

It should still be warm enough
for my time thermometer to pick up.

It's working.
They traveled back to the year... 1687!

Hang on.

I'll land us right on the deck
of the Beagles' ship.

Whoa!

Well, look what we have here.
More entertainment for me birthday party.

A happy, happy birthday
to me, to me


A happy, happy birthday
to you, to you


I'll sing this song if you'll sing along
and happy we will be


A happy, happy birthday to me

See what your thievery has done?

Gee, we just wanted your dough.
You know how that is.

Aye, and I aim to get my dough
back to my own time.

If I hooked up my Time Tub controls to
the steamer's controls, we just might do it.

But they expect us to perform
for Captain Blackheart's birthday party.

Aye, and that's just what we'll do.

Gyro, you and I'll go first,
then the lads,

and while the Beagle Boys are performing,
the rest of us will be...

Aw, you're the swellest
bunch of beach scum

I ever had the privilege of being cap' of.

Let's bring out the entertainment!

One, two, three.

Give me that old soft shoe...

Oof.

Give 'em the hook!

All right, guys.
Get down down and get funky!

Shiver me timbers!

Remember, you keep them entertained
until we blow the steamer's whistle.

That'll be your signal
to make a run... eh, a swim for it.

"Swim for it"?

Say, how come we gotta be the ones
to stay behind and keep 'em busy?

Because you're too stupid
to hook up Gyro's Time Tub.

All right, all right.
Just askin'.

We won't leave without you.
You have my word.

You're on.

Youse guys ready?

I want a girl

- Just like the girl
- Who married dear old Dad


She was a girl

And the only girl

That Daddy ever ha-a-ad

I want a girl

Just like the girl
who married dear old Dad


Gee, they're terrific!

Now's our chance.
Come on.

- Sweet Adeline
- Sweet Adeline


- My Adeline
- My Adeline


Down by the old mill stream

Where I first met you

You were 16

- You were 16
- You were 16


- My village queen
- My village queen


Down by the old mill stream

Down the river, by the stream...

- That should do it, Mr. McDuck.
- It's about time.

When I pull this lever,
the ship and everything on it

will be hurled back in time to Duckburg.

Good. Let's get in close to shore
and signal the Beagle Boys.

You could just leave 'em here,
Uncle Scrooge.

The thought had crossed my mind, Huey,
but I gave them my word,

and Scrooge McDuck's word
is as good as gold.

Rock-a-bye, pirates,
in the treetops


When the wind blows, the cradle will...

That's the signal.

'Bout time.
We was runnin' out of songs.

Oh, yeah.
No kiddin', man.

Gee, what was that?

Hey, big finish, boys.

Yadda-dadda-dadda
Yadda-dadda-dadda


Yadda-dadda-da-da-da

More! Huh?
They're escapin'. After 'em!

Aw, gee, Captain Blackheart.
We ain't even had cake yet.

After 'em!

After 'em,
you miserable deck splitters.

Great singin' groups
don't come along every day.

Here they come,
Uncle Scrooge.

And here come the pirates, too.

We got 'em, Uncle Scrooge.

Blast 'em, you swabs.

Hit the deck!

Throw the lever, Gyro.

Oh, no, a short circuit.

We'll be blown to smithereens.
Try it again.

We'll get her this time, men.

Fire!

My money's back in my money
bin, and the Beagle Boys are back in jail.

Let's see if our adventure
made the six o'clock news.

... and the McDuck millions
are back where they belong.


Here's a final score
on the baseball game.


Oh, boy!

The Garfield Ganders
scored 17 runs in the last inning


to hand the Duckburg Mallards
yet another defeat.


Oh, no!
