Gimmick: All the appropriate
pipes seem to be assembled.

The entire water system
is in order.

[groaning]

You need this wrench yet,
Grubby?

Nope. Not yet.

Can you hurry up?
This thing's heavy.

Female: Whoa-oa!
What's happening?

What are you doing in there?

I'm getting dizzy.

I guess I fell asleep.

Grubby: I guess you were
having a pipedream.

[both laugh]

-[all groaning]
-Grubby--now?
Do you need it now?

Yep.

[all groan]

Boy, that thing was heavy.

Gimmick: Now all we need
is the barrel.

Grubby: And a lot of water
in the barrel would
make it perfect.

Teddy: Look.

Here it comes now.

[jabbering]

It's okay, fellers.

I've got it.

Hey! Watch where
you're going, Wooly.

Oh! Sorry!

[both scream]

Hey, watch it!

Wooly: Sorry!

Who are you trying
to squash?

I'm sorry, everybody.

You guys are
real hard to see.

Thank you,
Wooly.

[jabbering]

Always glad to help, Teddy.

I sure hope
I didn't hurt anybody.

That's okay, Wooly.
Everyone's fine.

We brought you a snack, Grubby.

Grubby: Thanks, guys.

Mm-mm.

Thanks, guys.

We'll get you some more.

Thank you very much.

[jabbering]

Water coming right up, folks.

-Hey, watch it!
-I can't swim.

My new clothes!

-[wheel squeaks]
-[cheering]

-Great!
-Really keen!

Everything works well
so far, Grubby.

Let's see how things are going
down in the village.

-Whee!
-Congratulations, Gimmick.

-It's wonderful.
-[cheering]

Yep, gotta hand it to you,
Gimmick.

This is one of
your best inventions yet.

[chuckles]
Why, thank you, boys.

I am rather proud of this one.

But I could never have
managed it without your help.

We have a lot to thank
Wooly for, too.

Wooly?

Wooly, what's wrong?

Ah, Teddy.

I'm tired of being
big and clumsy.

I keep wrecking things
and scaring people.

-[laughter]
-I can't even play
with my friends.

I'm just too big.

But, Wooly,
think of the bright side.

When you're big,
you can eat more.

And your size has been extremely
valuable on this project.

Do you fellers mean you wouldn't
like me if I was little?

Well, of course
we would, Wooly.

Sure we'd like ya.

Why, whatever
gave you that idea?

Then why can't you
make me little with
your reducing machine?

Like you fellers were when
I bug-napped you by mistake.

But, Wooly...

Please, fellers?

I wanna go to school

and play like everybody else.

Are you sure
about this, Wooly?

[jabbering]
Of course I am.

Well, I suppose we could.

Would you?
[jabbering]

Oh, thanks, fellers.

I knew you were my friends.

Anything left
on your list, Tweep?

Anything? Everything!

I ruined revenge,

my swindle was stupid,

my theft was thwarted,

and my senseless vandalism
made no sense at all.

Oh...

Face it, L.B.,
as a villain, I'm vile.

Twink, Twink, Twink.

You're being too easy
on yourself.

You couldn't even
steal candy from a baby.

You were some help!
I was lucky to escape
with my life.

Lucky? I call it a curse.

Ah! There must be something
I can do wrong.

-What am I doing right?
-You ain't doing nothing right.

No, no, L.B. I want to do
something wrong right.

How about if you did
something right wrong? [laughs]

Oh, oh, don't confuse me.

[groans]

We're ready to proceed,
Wooly.

Okay, but when do we start?

Right now, Wooly.

Okay.

And here we go.

[beeping]

Ooh!

[jabbering]
It worked, fellers!

I'm little! I'm little!

-Whee!
-Look, everybody, I'm little!

Teddy: Well,
Wooly sure seems happy now.

I don't know, Teddy.

I kinda liked Wooly when there
was more of him to like.

If you know what I mean.

Yes, Grubby, I do.

[jabbering]
This is terrific, fellers!

Now I'm just like
everybody else!

If you change your mind,
Wooly, we can always
make you big again.

Whoops!

Oh... oh... oh, my.

Are you okay, Gimmick?

Eh, yes.

I merely sustained a minor
contusion of the patella.

Oh, but how's your knee?

Oh, it's fine.

However, the reducing machine

seems to have suffered
more serious, uh, damage.

We'd better
pick up the pieces.

But this means we can't change
Wooly back to his normal size.

Oh, that's okay, fellers.

I like being little.

Hey, guys, wait for me.

Leota: Since graduation to
the next grade is coming up,

I thought it would be nice to do
something special for everyone.

Let's use our own
personal talents

and everything
we've learned this year

and put on a show.

-Great.
-Music.

-Dancing.
-A cast of thousands.

A great light show.

Yeah. Folk dancing.
Sing-alongs. Mud pie throwing.

No, no, no. Chamber music.
Opera. Ballet.

Yuck!

You wanna put
everybody to sleep?

-Uncultured oaf.
-Oh, yeah?

We can have everything
in the show.

Now, what would you all
like to do?

-I'll write the show.
-I'll help.

-I'll do the lights.
-I'll paint the sets.

I've always wanted
to direct.

Can you fix it,
Gimmick?

Eh, well,

I'm definitely convinced
I'm sure I can.

Eh, I think.

But not here.

I'm going to need
a new gramble-stobit.

-A gramble-whosit?
-A gramble-stobit.

I think we should get back
to my workshop immediately.

Okay, Gimmick.
Let's go.

Hey, thanks!

Hey, Wooly, can you move this
scenery for us, please?

[jabbering]
Sure, fellers.

That's what I do best.

[jabbering]

Here, we'll help you.

We have to move
this piano.

I'll do it, Miss Leota.

[straining]

Whew.

Thanks, fellers.

This being small isn't as easy
as I thought it'd be.

And you know, my
[jabbering sound] doesn't
sound right, either.

Please gather round, everyone.

Why can't I be like
Quellor, L.B.?

He's bigger than you,
Tweef.

No, no, L.B.
I mean, why can't be
as nasty as he is?

No imagination.

-Why can't I be as smart?
-You're too dumb.

-Why can't I be as frightening?
-You're too laughable.

-What should I do, L.B.?
-Give up!

You're obviously a failure
at being a villain like you
are at everything else.

Failure?
You think I'm a failure,
you knock-kneed nincompoop?

I'll show you!
I can be as bad
as the next bad guy!

Sure you can.

As long as the next bad guy
ain't Quellor. [laughs]

There's one item on this list
I haven't tried yet--

"Start a fight between
perfectly good friends."

-Elves: ♪ We ♪
-What's that?

-♪ Are perfectly good friends ♪
-Sounds like singing.

Let's see what we can do
to put an end to that
miserable sound.

Elves: ♪ We all agree ♪

♪ A perfectly good friend
is someone you'd like
to take to dinner ♪

-♪ And if they should gain
a pound or two ♪
-Ooh...

♪ Say, "My, aren't you
getting thinner." ♪

♪ A perfectly good friend
is someone you don't like
to be without ♪

♪ This kind of a friend
is someone you will
always care about... ♪

Ha! You hear that, L.B.?

They're perfectly
good friends.

What a stupid thing
to be singing about.

That's it!

I'll start a fight between
the Elves and the Woodsprites.
[laughs]

Suits me fine, Tweeze.

Any creatures that
like each other I hate.

-What are you doing, Twince?
-The name is Tweeg,
you halfwit horror.

And for your information,
I'm sewing myself an Elf suit.

Forget it, Tweeze.
It'll never fit.

Once again, L.B.,
your tiny brain

is unable to appreciate
my evil genius. [laughs]

This costume is for my hand.

You're putting on a puppet show?

Yes, I am.

But this puppet show
won't be for children.

Oh, you're gonna entertain my
cousin Larry at the Grundo jail?

Guess again,
you overstuffed olive.

I'd like you to meet Tweegle.

The first Elf villain.
[laughs]

It'll never work.

-What's missing?
-Shoes.

Shoes?

Yeah, whoever heard of an Elf
without pointy shoes?

Hmm. It would take someone
with a pointy head to
think of pointy shoes.

Thank you.

[snoring]

L.B.: As much as I hate
to admit it, Tweeg,

this might be a good idea.

Tweeg: Yes, L.B., but I
would've preferred something

with a little more heel.

Oh, you're enough of
a heel already. [laughs]

Gee, Miss Leota,

I didn't think I'd have
any problems being small.

Everyone has problems, Wooly,

whether they're big or small.

I guess you're right,
Miss Leota.

I'm sure you'll find out
just what size you want to be.

[jabbering]
I sure hope so.

[whistling]

Ew! Who put this here?

Psst. Psst.

She did.

What did you
do that for?

-I didn't.
-Did too.

That's something
an Elf would do.

[groans]

What's going on here?

She made me
step in this paint.

I did not!
She's telling a fib!

Please don't fight.

We're all supposed to be
good friends.

Well, somebody put
that paint bucket there.

[laughs]

I'll just tighten the...
[strains]

"ge-de-feo" valve.

Are we ready to test it,
Gimmick?

I think so.

-Huh?
-No, no, no, Grubby.

Don't eat that pear.

I'm using it to test
the reducing machine.

Do you think you can make it
real big, Gimmick?

But not too big. [laughs]

[beeping]

Gimmick: Oh!
Oh, this is most peculiar.

Look out!
I think it's gonna explode!

[all shout]

That pear's got... hair.

I must've made
a slight miscalculation.

Although, this could have
interesting possibilities.

[laughs]

So far I've cut down
a clothesline

with a week's worth
of washing on it.

And I've set back
the village clock five minutes.

Now that's what I call evil.
[laughs]

Last of the red-hot villains,
tricking kids.

Just you wait, L.B.

I'm not finished yet.

Tweep, I don't think you can
short sheet an Elf's bed.
[laughs]

[coins jingle]

Oh, dear.
Someone's dropped some money.

Who did that?!

Come back here you-- you-- Elf!

[humming]

Huh?

Come back here, you!

[Tweeg chuckling]

Oh, my, this is
a pleasant surprise.

Hmm. I wonder
who this could be from.

Pity they didn't leave a card.

When I find that no-good,
dirty, lowdown...

Good day.
Lovely weather, isn't it?

Hey. Hey, you hat-napping
Woodsprite!

That's my hat!

Oh...

Teddy, do you think Gimmick
would lend me his razor?

I'm still kinda hungry.

[laughs] He might, Grubby,
if you ask him nicely.

-Do you think
it'll work now, Gimmick?
-Oh, yes.

I believe I've corrected
the malfunction.

And we are now completely
and unquestionably ready.

Grubby, would you get that
pepper shaker over there?

Huh?

There you go, Gimmick.

[beeping]

I think you fixed it, Gimmick.

Grubby:
Uh-oh. Here we go again.

-Hit the deck!
-All: Whoa!

Well... [sneezes]

...the pep--
pepper grew...

but the pepper shaker
didn't.

-[sneezes]
-We seem to be...

[sneezes]
...approaching a degree of...

[sneezes]
...functional operationalism.

[laughs, sneezes]

Yeah, and the contraption
nearly worked, too.

[sneezes]

-[Teddy sneezes]
-Gimmick: Bless you.

[Gimmick sneezes]

[indistinct arguing]

I've caused all this trouble

and everybody's blaming
everybody else.

I haven't had this much fun
since I put cement

in Mummy's face cream.

Yeah, but that was
an improvement.

So it was.

But I'm not done yet.

I'm having fun.

Fun, fun, fun!

So, you stole my pie.

I beg your pardon.

You threw it at me!

Ha! Nonsense!

Well, it was an Elf anyway.

I've had just about enough
of these crude Elf jokes.

Crude? I'll show you crude.

Ah!

[shouting]

[shouting continues]

[shouting, arguing continues]

Students! Students!

Oh, my!

I've done it, L.B!
I'm an evil genius!

As much as it hurts me
to say it, Tweep,

you done good.

Thank you, L.B.

But I wonder how you'd do
picking on someone
your own size.

There's one thing you must learn
about villains, L.B.--

they never, ever pick on
someone their own size.

Ha ha! Yes, indeed.

I'll earn lots of points
for making enemies out of
perfectly good friends.

[laughs]

[shouting, arguing continues]

Students! Please!

[sniffing]

[sniffing]

What's the matter, Katie?

I wish I knew more of that
hand-talking stuff.

[gasps]

Oh, my gosh!

Fire!

Wooly: Fire!

Oh, no!

Oh, my gosh!

Fire! Fire!
