05x19 - Jeannie and the Curious Kid

[bunniefuu]

[♪]

TONY:
Jeannie?

Jeannie?

I wonder where she is.

Not far.

I wish she wouldn't
leave this stuff around.

Um, hey, Jeannie.

[WHIRRING]

Hey, what do you think
Dr. Bellows is coming over for?

I don't know. He was pretty
pleasant on the phone.

Bellows pleasant?
You must be in trouble.

He called me
"Tony, old friend."

Yeah, well, big trouble.

[LAUGHS]

Jeannie, would you
come out please?

[WHIRRING CONTINUES]

[DOORBELL RINGS]

That must be Dr. Bellows.
Uh, uh...

Stay in there.
It's Dr. Bellows.

[WHIRRING]

[CLANGING]

[WHIRRING STOPS]

[ECHOING] Yes, master?

Jeannie, d-don't come out.

Dr. Bellows is here.

[ROGER WHISTLING]

Wait a minute, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

BELLOWS:
Good afternoon.

Hello, hello, major.
You mind if I don't get up?

[♪]

[♪]

Uh, we know
it's a lot to ask, major,

but it's just 'till
tomorrow afternoon.

You see, we're going
to a medical convention.

Oh, but don't worry.
He won't be any trouble.

My nephew is a joy
to have around.

Your nephew?

Melvin, would you
get out of the rose beds, dear?

Is that your nephew?

Yes, that's he, yes.
We don't have any children.

I don't know if Jeannie
can handle this.

I would too.

Oh, but listen,
he is a darling boy

with a very active imagination.

You will just love him,
you really will.

Melvin? Mel...

Alfred, I-I can't see him.

You don't think
he's run away again, do you?

Oh...
I hope so.

Oh, I'm sorry about this.

Uh, sir?

[♪]

[♪]

Oh, boy.

[SCREAMS]

Oh, here he is.

Uncle Alfred! Uncle Alfred!

I just saw a lady
come out of this bottle.

You did not. Shh.
I did too!

There was a whole bunch
of smoke and everything.

Now, Melvin, you shouldn't
make up stories.

Alfred, now, I don't know.

If the boy said
that he saw something...

Oh, it's those comic books.

He reads so many of them
they've affected his brain.

But I did! I did see it!

There was smoke and a lady

and everything.
She came out of the bottle.

Well, if you saw her,
where is she?

I don't know, but I saw smoke!
Shh.

Hello?

Hello, Major Healey.

Good timing.

Jeannie, hello.
This is my nephew, uh, Melvin.

And we're going to
impose on you terribly

and ask you to take care of him,
but just for one day.

Oh, we would love to,
Mrs. Bellows, of course.

How do you do, Melvin?

[♪]

Melvin, it isn't polite
to stare.

Yes, ma'am.
How do you do, Mrs. Nelson?

Well, we have to run.
Thank you again.

Yes, we're just going
to go get his things.

Where have you been?
I'll help you.

Come on, Roger.

[♪]

Hey, look at the chair!
It's going up...

TONY:
A little chocolate, huh?

Yeah, and pineapple.

Pineapple.
Pineapple, oh, yeah.

And...

Strawberry.
...strawberry.

Right on top, the strawberries.

How about a little
whipped cream?

Whipped cream.

Some nuts.
Nuts, nuts, nuts.

There you are.

A few cherries.
A few cherries.

Right you are. Coming up.

How about three, hm?

Three cherries.
One, two, three. Good?

Oops, sorry.
Ha-ha, ha.

You just eat up now,
and have a good time.

Mr. Nelson?
Mm-hm?

Where'd you get that
weird bottle and that chair?

Well, a chair's a chair,

and a bottle's a bottle,
you know. Mm-hm.

Have a good time, kid.

Sure is a weird chair.

Yeah, there's plenty more
where that came from.

[NERVOUS LAUGHTER]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Ah-ha.

Y-you are annoyed with me?

Now, where'd you get that idea?

Well, I'm sorry, master,

but I did not know
that he was there.

If that little boy finds out
you're a genie, I am dead.

Dead, you understand?
Tell me you love me.

[SCOFFING] This is important.

You do not love me.
Oh, of course I love you.

Oh, you do not love me.

I do! I do!
Oh, you love me!

Jeannie. No more magic
while he's around.

You understand that?
Yes, master.

Oh, but m-m-m-m-master.

What? No buts.

But... But master...
No, no.

Master!
Do something.

Not that.

[♪]

I'm ready for bed.

Oh, I will be right up.

[GIGGLES]

Thank goodness.

I hope he sleeps 12 hours.

Oh, master, he's really
a very nice little boy.

Hm? Oh, yeah, he's a nice
little boy all right.

He is also suspicious,
curious and creepy,

and a thr*at to my existence.
[LAUGHS]

That kid believes in witches

and warlocks and genies
and that kind of nonsense.

Master.
Oh, you know what I mean.

Well, perhaps I will
tell him a bedtime story.

Mm.
Let me see.

Maybe Ali Baba
and the 38 Thieves, hm?

Forty.
No.

It was 38, master. I was there.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

I'll tell him the story.

Well, let's see now,

there's a lot of great stories.
You got any favorites?

Yeah, the one about the genie.

The what?

Aladdin and His Magic Lamp.

Uh, gee, I don't think
I know that one.

Oh, I do.

Uh, it's coming back to me now.

You sure you want that one?

It's my favorite.
Oh, ha-ha, okay.

All right. Ahem.
Uh, lets see now.

Once upon a time,

there was a little boy

and one day
he was walking along this...

This beach.
Oh, it was the forest.

No, darling, it was a beach.

Forest.
Beach. Beach.

It was the beach, Mrs. Nelson.
I read it a lot.

[CHUCKLES] Yeah.

A... Aladdin was...
Was, uh, walking along

this long beach, see?

And he...
[MOUTHS WORDS]

And found, uh, uh, uh,
there in the sand

was this... This, uh, lamp.

Old, b*at-up, rusty,
ancient-looking lamp. See?

So and he knew that if he
picked it up and polished it

that, uh, he could sell it
at the bazaar.

And so he rubbed it
and rubbed it and rubbed it,

and all of a sudden this...
This huge genie appeared.

Uncle Punjab!

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY] Yeah.

[SIGHS]

This huge genie appeared.
Punjab is his name.

And, uh, Punjab said...

Ow!

[♪]

[MOUTHS] Ow.

Oh, hello, darling.
You are home early.

Yeah, I got home
as soon as I could.

Well, how's Melvin?

Everything going okay?

Terrible.
Huh?

I have to cook dinner.

[HUSHED] I mean actually
cook it without magic.

We are all liable to die.
[CHUCKLES]

No, it'll be great. Uh,
what's the little devil doing?

I do not know.

What do you mean you don't know?

[SIGHS]

Hey, Melvin,
how are you doing, buddy? Ha-ha.

There's something strange
about this bottle.

Huh? Nah, that's
just a plain old,

ordinary bottle.

I wonder if I rubbed it
I'd get a wish.

Huh?

[LAUGHS] Uh, no, no.

Ah, go ahead, give it a try.

I wish I had a lot of new toys.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, hi, Melvin.

I brought you a lot of new toys.

It worked! It worked!

That was just a coincidence.

What did you bring
those here for?

To take his mind off the bottle.

Oh, no, no, that's mine.
That one's mine.

Hey, Major Nelson.

[THUD]
TONY: Ow!

Airplane!
Oh, yeah.

Where are they?
It's almost 8:00.

Don't worry. Dr. Bellows
will be over in a few minutes

and everything
will be all right.

Yeah, not a moment too soon.

Think it's all right leaving
that kid out with Jeannie?

Yeah, she's got orders to keep
his mind off the bottle.

MELVIN: Oh, boy!
Oh, my...

Yay! You have hit the eye
of the bull again, Melvin.

Is this not fun?
I can't miss.

And all because I rubbed
a bottle and made a wish.

Oh, no, no.

It had nothing
to do with the bottle.

Oh, yes it did.

Oh, hello, darling.
Hello.

Would you like a turn?
No. No, thanks.

Uh, Melvin, your aunt and uncle
are gonna be here pretty soon.

You better go on inside
and wait for them, huh?

Okay. Wait 'till I tell 'em.

Yeah.
[GIGGLES]

You were supposed to make him
forget about the bottle.

Oh, I-I did, master.

That is why
we were playing darts.

Y... But you kept blinking

and moving the dartboard

in front of the darts.

Oh, but he could not
hit it any other way, master.

And you said to make him happy.

Yes, hon, but without magic.

Now, can't you
do anything right?

Well, I-I was doing my best.

Yeah, well, your best
is a catastrophe. Look at this.

Very well, then,
I will leave him to you.

Honestly, I-I...

Jeannie?
Now, now, now, now,

don't get angry. Jeannie?

Mm-hm. Jeannie!

[♪]

Well, thank you again, major,
for looking after Melvin.

It's been our pleasure, sir.
It has?

Yeah.
It has. It has.

And say goodbye
to Jeannie for us, won't you?

I certainly will.

Well, come along, Melvin.

So long, Melvin.
Bye. Thanks a lot.

Come back again.

MELVIN:
Sure!

Why did you say that?

Ah, it just slipped out.

Well, thank goodness
that kid's gone.

Uh, Jeannie, it's safe now.
You can come out.

Jeannie?

Come along, Melvin.

I'm coming.

[♪]

It was great.

They got
instant-growing flowers

that just pop up.

Then I wished for some toys

and there they were.

And they got
this magic dartboard

that moves right in front
of your dart

so you can't miss.

Don't you believe me?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Of course we believe you.

And then I suppose the nice lady

came out of the bottle again
in a cloud of smoke.

No, sir. She went back in.

And I got her.

Oh!
What?

Now, that is a naughty boy.

Now, you know that
belongs to the Nelsons.

But the lady's inside.

I'll bet she's a genie
just like the one

in Aladdin and His Magic Lamp.

Aladdin's lamp.

You poor, dear, boy. What did
they do to you over there?

Tsk. Oh, nonsense, Amanda.

As a psychiatrist,
the answer is obvious:

The boy is suffering
from pre-adolescent delusions

resulting from
a comic book syndrome.

Okay, I'll open the bottle.

I'll show you.

[CORK POPS]

[GASPS]

All right, Melvin,
now, what do you see?

Nothing. It's too dark.

But I know she's in here.

I'm glad he's from your side
of the family.

[♪]

Jeannie?

Jeannie.

Oh, come on out, Jeannie.

All I wanna do is apologize.

Where would I go if I was
a genie and I wanted to sulk?

I'd go to my bottle,

'cause that's where
always Jeannie sulks.

Jeannie?

Well, she wasn't
in the coffeepot.

Yeah? Maybe she's in
the pot, huh?

Ah! It's hot.

Roger, would you, uh,
look under the bar please?

I've looked under the bar.

I've looked every place.

The bottle's gone.

[RINGS]

Oh, Major Healey?

Uh, this is Dr. Bellows.

Uh, would you, um,

would you kindly tell
Major Nelson that, uh,

uh, Melvin sort of,
uh, accidentally, uh,

brought home that
decorative bottle that he keeps

in his living room?

Really?
Oh, hey, Tony, good news.

Dr. Bellows found the bottle.

Yeah, where?
It's at his house.

Is Jeannie in it?

Uh, Dr. Bellows,
is, uh, Jeannie...?

Uh, hello, uh, Col. Bottle,

this is Major Bellows.
Do you have the Nelson there?

[TONY LAUGHS]

Sorry, I...

Major, have you been drinking?

Uh, no, not yet. Why don't
I come over and pick it up, sir?

Oh, nonsense. I'll, uh...

I'll drop it by in the morning.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

I... I'd just take
a couple of minutes.

I can pick it up right away.

Major Nelson, after all,

it's just a bottle.

Or is it?
Uh, well, it's an...

It's an antique, sir.

I wouldn't want you
to be worried about it.

I'll...
I'll be right over, huh?

Major Nelson, it's getting late.

You can get it in the morning,
and that's an order.

Yeah, but Col. Bottle...
Bettie... Bittle...

[STUTTERING]
[LINE DISCONNECTS]

Melvin, put that bottle down.

Major Nelson's coming for it
in the morning.

He is?

[♪]

Ouch!

Now I got ya.

What are you doing
with that bottle of sherry?

Nothing.
Sherry...

that may explain
a lot of things.

For heaven's sake.
Hm.

Come on, it's time to go to bed.

And leave the bottle
of sherry there.

How about a glass
of wine when you get back?

When I come back, yes.

[HUMMING]

Where am I?

[HICCUPS]

[♪]

What if they're not asleep yet?

There's not a light on
in the house.

We gotta get Jeannie
out of there.

Hold this. Now give me
the, uh, pocket Kn*fe.

Will you give me...?
These weird things.

Here. I'll wait in the car.

Stay here.
Yeah, stay here.

There.

Will you hurry up?

Shh.

What are we doing breaking
in a house anyway?

Must be crazy.
Shut up.

Shut up, shut up.

Go on in.
I'm not going in. You go in.

All right, all right.
Shut up.

Roger, Roger.

[RATTLING]

Alfred.

Alfred, I think I just heard
some noises downstairs.

[GROANS]

Call my office
for an appointment.

Alfred, will you get up?

Alfred, get up.

All right, be quiet.
Shhh, shhh.

You take this side of the room

and I'll take
that side of the room.

That side. Shhh.

Jeannie? Jeannie?

Jeannie, are you in there? Sh!

What are you doing?

Got him in three moves.

[WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY]

Go check the bar.
Shh. Check the bar.

[SNIFFS]

[SNIFFING]

What are you doing now?

Here's to our first heist.

Would you cut that out?

Here she is. Jeannie?

Hello, master.
Hiccup!

Uh, don't...
Don't worry, now.

You're safe, you're safe.

All right, now, take that.

Here, get out of here.

Shh.

Go on.

[HICCUPS, GIGGLES]

He got the wrong bottle.

He got the wrong bottle!

[GLASS SHATTERS]

Jeannie, come on out.

Jeannie?

What's the matter?
She's not in there.

Oh, great.
So far we've stolen

an empty bottle, a broken window
and a pair of curtains.

Will you please get up now?
What's the matter?

What did you hear?
I heard noises.

I heard somebody come in.
Hurry up.

Oh, all right,
for heaven's sake.

Would you kindly put your robe
on your own bed?

[BOTH TALKING INDISTINCTLY]
[RUSTLING]

We have to get something
to protect ourselves with.

What have you got?
I don't know. There's a vase...

No.
No. Something big.

Something very big.

Oh, Alfred, it isn't raining
for heaven's sake.

[TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

No, you should be out first.

I'm not going out first.

Don't push!

I'm not pushing.

Shh, be quiet.

Shhh, shhh.
Come on over here.

She's gotta be around
the bar somewhere.

Look around the bar.

Jeannie? Jeannie?

Jeannie?

Jeannie?

Whoo-hoo. Oh, master.

[GIGGLES, HICCUPS]

Alfred, I know
I heard something.

I know when I hear something,
and I head something.

It was a sort of
a crushing sound.

Didn't you hear it?
Don't you ever hear anything?

I might if you stopped talking.

Oh.

[MAGIC BOING]

[SHATTERS]

What was that?
Shh.

Great, great, there she is.

There's Dr. Bellows.
Oh!

[♪]

I'll turn the light on.

No, no, no, stay close
in case there is a prowler.

[HICCUPS]

Oh, Amanda, what a time
to get the hiccups.

Hold your breath or something.

You go jerk the plug
and then jump out window.

Jump out the window,
jerk the plug.

No!
What?

Jerk the plug, and then
jump out the window.

I'll get Jeannie.

Shh.

Alfred, why did you
turn off the light?

I never touched it.

I'm standing here
holding your hand.

What?!

[CRASHING, YELLING]

[SCREAMS]

Alfred!

What was that?
What did you hit?

By mistake I hit the vase.

AMANDA:
My vase!

Why did you turn
the lights out, Alfred?

I didn't touch the lights.

[KNOCKING] What?

The door. Alfred,
somebody came to the door.

Can you see it?
No.

[KNOCKING]
[CRIES OUT]

You get the door, quietly.

Just quietly.

I'll be behind you.

I'll be right behind you.

You answer it.
Go ahead, answer it.

Okay.

[ALL SCREAM]

Oh, Major Nelson, Major Healey.
Hello. How are you?

Oh, what are you doing here?
Turn on the light.

Well, we were just passing by.
We thought we saw a prowler.

We'd thought we'd drop in
and see how you were.

[HICCUPS]

[JEANNIE HICCUPS]

Major.
Huh?

[JEANNIE HICCUPS]
[CLEARS THROAT]

They've been drinking, Alfred!

MELVIN:
I know why they're here.

They came to get the bottle
with the lady in it.

Melvin, will you
please go back to bed.

Alfred, stop yelling at the boy.

Oh, Melvin, maybe you should
go back to bed.

I don't want you
around these officers

in this disgusting condition.

But I trapped her
in the sherry bottle.

I'll show you.
Oh, Melvin, really.

What kind of sherry was that?
Wait, wait. Wait a minute.

I'll show you, I'll show you.

[GIGGLING]

Would you go
and change your clothes?

[HICCUPS]

What are you talking about
for heaven's sake, dear?

What in the bottle?
What was it?

Jeannie... Jeannie?

Where did you come from?

Baghdad.

[HICCUPS]

Baghdad? There's something
going on around here.

I told ya!

It's all because the lady
in the bottle.

She's magic.
I'll prove it to you.

Now, Melvin,
this had gone too far.

Let me see that bottle.
I've never heard of anything...

Hm, I don't see... anything.

[GIGGLES, MAGIC BOING]

[YELLS]

Melvin, what's the matter
with you?

Oh, Amanda, look at the thing.

I don't think there's
anything to laugh at.

I don't think so either, sir.

But I was sure.
I was positive.

Oh, Melvin, for heaven's sake,
positive of what?

What nonsense,
a lady in a bottle.

But the genie...
She was in there!

You know, from now on...
Stop talking.

It's your fault, Amanda.
If you'd pay more attention...

[♪]

Hey, will you come on?
We're gonna be late.

I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying.

Dr. Bellows wants us
in his office by 8:00.

I don't want to upset him
after last night.

Have another cup of coffee.
I never had my first cup.

Hey, look, we've only got
five minutes now. Come on.

Listen, Jeannie can blink us
down there in a minute.

What's the big rush, huh?

Oh, boy, you've taken your time.
I can't believe you.

I still don't understand
what's the rush.

What do you mean,
what's the rush?

Good morning, Jeannie.
Ooh.

What is good about it?

How are you feeling, darling?

[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]

That bad, huh?
Mmm.

You think you can
blink us to NASA?

Yes, master.
Okay.

Uncle Alfred, you promised
to take me to the zoo.

Uncle Alfred, look!

They're here!
The lady's here!

BELLOWS:
Oh, for heaven's sakes, Melvin!

MELVIN:
Don't you believe me?

Look at 'em! Look at 'em!

Jeannie, I'm going
into my office.
