01x09 - The Secret of the Juice

[bunniefuu]

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

[OGRES CHATTERING]

IGTHORN:
Fine work, lads, fine work.

Excellent, excellent.
Put those Gummiberries over there.

[YELLS]

TOADIE:
Oh. So sorry. So sorry.

Toadie never do it again.

No. I feel tolerant today, understanding,

almost nice.

- And do you know why?
- His Dukiness is sick?

- No, you ignoramus.
- Aah!

Because I need you
to help me complete my ultimate w*apon:

my Gummiberry juice factory.

Soon I'll be making barrels of the stuff,

and my army of super-strong ogres
will smash Dunwyn Castle into rubble.

And how can this lowIy Toadie help?

I want you to get me
one small missing ingredient.

And what is that, Your Igthorniness?

Someone to cook the juice.

Catch me a Gummi Bear!

Pick, pick, pick.

Hurry, before those greedy ogres
steal the rest of our meagre harvest.

Oh, heavens.

What do they want
with our Gummiberries, anyway?

Don't worry, I'll make them tell
when I catch them in my traps.

Traps? Heh.

I'd rather rely on Gummiberry juice,
but we haven't got a drop left.

[SUNNI GROANS]

Sometimes I get so tired
of picking these things.

Oh, Sunni, I think it's fun.

Well, I'd rather be a princess like you,
with dozens of servants to do my work.

Well, you're not. You're a Gummi Bear.

And Gummi Bears pick Gummiberries.
So pick.

Look, I found a bunch over there.

No, Tummi, don't step on that...

TUMMI: Aah!
- ...stone. Unh.

Terrific ogre trap.

I needed to cook those berries
this afternoon.

I have to do everything myself.

I'd appreciate it
if you'd leave my traps to the ogres.

Okay with me.

Gummi Bears have to be around here
somewhere.

Aren't you finished yet?

- Looks good, huh? Ha, ha.
TOADIE: Mm.

What bear could resist the biggest
Gummiberry bush in the world?

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Quick, I hear one coming.

Ooh, Dukie will be so proud of me.

Those thieving ogres
have hardly left us any.

Huh?

Uh, say, your, uh, shoelace is untied.

OGRE:
Oh, thanks.

Get her, you idiots.

[TOADIE & OGRE YELP]

Rats, it's empty.

Me got Gummi lady.

[OGRE GRUNTS]

Ogres! Help! Ogres!

GRUFFI:
Stop.

- I dare you to cross that line.
- Oh, yeah?

- Aah!
- Dumbest creatures in the whole forest.

Ogres! Ogres in the glen!

Oh, quick, quick,
everyone underground.

Caught in a trap.
Oh, how could you be so stupid? Whoa!

[YELLING]

Sunni, I have to cook
what few berries are left,

and I need you to go sort them.

Berries, berries, berries. How boring.

Look at this hair.
Looks like a Gummiberry bush.

Hmm, maybe you just need
to change it a bit.

Change it. Oh.

Suppose those ogres had caught you.

You're important, Grammi. We need you.

Oh, do you really mean it?

Sure. Who else would make
our Gummiberry juice? Unh.

Well, thanks for your concern,
you mulehead.

[SPUTTERING]

But, actually, you're right.

It's time I passed the secret recipe
on to someone else.

Well, don't look at me.
I don't know a teaspoon from a teapot.

But Cubbi's too young,

Zummi would get it all backwards,
and, uh, Tummi...

Tummi? He'd eat all the ingredients
before he even got started.

- That leaves onIy Sunni.
- No, too flighty.

And lately,
no respect for Gummi traditions.

You've seen how taken she is
with human ways.

No, Sunni is down-to-earth.
She's a responsible young Gummi.

SUNNI:
Surprise!

- She was too smart for us.
- Rocks are too smart for you.

We'll just have to try the trap again.

But she won't fall for it,
Your Igthornacity.

[CHUCKLING]

She'll fall for it, all right.
Boy, will she fall.

[LAUGHING]

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Today's the big day.
Come on, Sunni. We have to start.

- Hey, you look just like a little Grammi.
- I do not!

If Calla saw me like this,
I'd crawI down a rabbit hole.

Well, forget Calla for now.
You've got important things to learn.

GRAMMI: The great Gummi cooks
have passed down the secret of the juice

for hundreds of years.

I bestow upon you
the ancient stirring ladle of our ancestors.

Why do I have to make the juice?

Can't you just write down the recipe?

You'll never lose it if it's here,

and no one can take it from you
if it's locked in here.

Now add six handfuls of red berries,

then four orange ones, three purple...

- Four red, six orange...
- No, no. Six red and four orange.

Oh, phooey.

Then add four blue and three green,
a yellow and...

Now for the final and most important part
of the recipe:

the three-step stir.

- [WHISPERS] Hi.
- Sunni, pay attention.

- One mistake and disaster.
- Yes, Grammi.

First you stir slow to the right,

then slow to the left.

Then bang to get out the bubbles.

Did you get that?

- Oh, uh, yeah.
- Then let's see you do it.

Let's see. Uh, stir the juice.

- No, that's too fast.
- And bang.

You've ruined our onIy batch of juice.

It's not my fault.
There's too many things to remember.

Ugh. Gruffi was right.
You're not fit to learn this Gummi secret.

- [IN NORMAL VOICE] I'm so sorry, Sunni.
- Aw, she'll get over it.

Wow. Where'd you get the neat bow?

Oh, it's Father's.

He doesn't think sh**ting is ladylike,
so I had to sneak it out.

Let's go try it.

- But the kitchen.
- Later.

Grammi won't be back for a long time.

Oh, Sunni will never learn.
She let me down.

Boy, these guys are really lame.

[YELLS]

TOADIE: We got her.
- I got her. You fouled up.

Ah, my dear lady.

Who says I can't have my juice
and drink it too?

Oh, goodness.
This patch is all picked out.

There's more over there.

[CUBBI GASPS]

It's Grammi's berry basket.

Where'd she go?

[BOOMING FOOTSTEPS
APPROACHING]

- Ogres!
ZUMMI: Ooh, hide, hide.

Now that Dukie has Gummi lady,
we soon have lots of juice.

As soon Dukie make juice,

then ogres be stronger
than a hundred, uh, horses.

Yeah, smarter too.

[WHISPERS]
Hey, what's going on?

[WHISPERS]
Um, I gotta get word to Sunni.

Sunni: Grammi captured by Igthorn.

Gone to rescue. Bring juice.

Welcome to Drekmore Castle, madam.

I'm sure you'll find yourself right at home
in your very own kitchen.

- Well, what do you think?
- It's dreadful.

I refuse to be part of this mess.

You'll cook if His Dukiness say so.

Toadie, you must treat a Gummi Bear
with respect.

Now, my dear lady,
if you cooperate and give me the recipe,

everything will be happily ever after.

And if I don't?

Uh, well, uh, maybe.

You see, Toadie, it's a matter of charm.

Now make me a test batch!

Six red ones, four orange.

Six red ones, four orange.

- And no purple ones.
- And no purple ones. Got it.

- Boy, you sh**t great, Calla.
- Practice makes perfect.

Now we better clean up
Grammi's kitchen.

- I guess you're right.
- What's that?

- It's Cubbi's hat, with writing.
- What does it say?

[GASPS]

Igthorn's got Grammi,
and the others want me to bring juice.

- Well, let's do it.
- But there is no juice.

I spoiled the whole batch.

It's all my fault.

Look, isn't it Gummi tradition
that Gummis always try?

Right. To the Quicktunnels.

- Well?
- It's ready, Your Grace.

At last.

I don't trust you. You, test it first.

Me? Uh-uh.

[GULPING]

Ooh, ooh, it's working.

I will be invincible.

[IN UNISON]
Invincible.

Now I will rise to power over everyone.

You can say that again.

What's happening?

What always happens
when you leave out the purple berries.

- Bye-bye.
- Somebody get that bear.

- Ugh. I hate this place.
- Me too.

This is the onIy way to rescue Grammi.

[GRAMMI & SUNNI GRUNT]

Duh, gotcha.

We're here. Oh, everybody duck.

Whoa. What a great ride.

It's not over yet. Duck.

- I spy Gummi Bears.
TUMMI: Run!

Ooh, quick, quick, in here.

[GRUNTS]

Oh, ha, ha.
Oh, they'll never find us in here.

Never is right.

- Take this to barrel room.
- Okay.

Hmm.

TUMMI:
Ah, apparently the barrel room.

Now all I have to do is find the barrel
and let them out.

This isn't gonna be as easy as I thought.

So you think you're so clever.

Did you really think I'd give you the recipe,
Duke Iron-Britches?

Oh, but you will.

We have ways
of making Gummi Bears talk.

Take her to the dungeons.

[WHISPERS]
What's he gonna do to her?

Hmm. Maybe you'll change your mind
after a turn or two on the rack.

[STAMMERS]
What's that?

It stretch people. Like this.

[YELLING]

No, perhaps the dunking machine.
Guaranteed to soften a stubborn attitude.

[TOADIE GARGLING]

[COUGHING]

No, I have the perfect way
to make even the bravest bear cr*ck.

Strap her down.

I've found nothing is worse
than the feather.

[ALL GASP]

Oh, no, not that. No. Oh, no.

[GRAMMI LAUGHING]

I won't tell. Ha-ha-ha! I'll never tell.

[GRAMMI LAUGHING]

I can't stand it. I--

[LAUGHING]

- Stop! Ha-ha-ha!
- Oh, no. She'll give in for sure.

Six red berries-- Ha-ha-ha!

Four orange ones. Ha-ha-ha!

[SINGSONG Y]
She's telling, she's telling.

Well, write it down, mush head.

TUMMI:
Hello? Zummi? Gruffi?

[KNOCKING]

GRUFFI: How's it coming, Cubbi?
CUBBI: The lid's stuck tight.

Great, just great.

We come all the way here
to rescue Grammi,

we wind up stuck in a barrel.

[IN UNISON]
Whoa!

[THUD]

Now, hold on, hold on.
I think I can make the lid shrink magically.

GRUFFI:
Well, this ought to be good for a laugh.

Uh, um...

[SPEAKING INCANTATION]

[ALL GRUNTING]

- I'm not laughing.
- Oh, sorry, sorry. I'll fix it.

Must be getting close now.

[ZUMMI SPEAKING INCANTATION]

Whoa! Unh.

- Anyone at home?
GRUFFI: Tummi? It's Tummi.

- Get us out!
- Sure. Uh, how?

GRUFFI: I don't know. Use your head.
- Good idea.

- How's that?
- That's not exactly what I had in mind.

[ALL YELLING]

TUMMI:
Hey, wait for me.

At last the secret is mine.

Take the recipe to the ogres
and tell them to make juice galore.

At once, Your Dukiness.

Let's get that recipe, Calla.
I'm gonna make us some juice.

[SINGSONG Y] Juice galore, juice galore.
Nobody can stop us now.

Give back that recipe
or I'll knock your block off.

[IN NORMAL VOICE]
The princess.

[CALLA & SUNNI SCREAMING]

We'll see who gets who.

[ALL YELLING]

Thank you.

[BARREL CRASHING]

It's the Gummis!

Stop. Get those Gummi-- Ooh!

TUMMI:
Excuse me.

You go make the juice.
We'll hold them off.

[STAMMERS] We've never gone against
an ogre jithout wuice--

Uh, without juice.

I hope this is the right way.

[SUNNI GASPS]

- Look, funny lady bear.
- Ogres do good job?

Oh. Yeah.

[IN DEEP VOICE] Uh, fetch me the berries
and the kettle and a ladle.

And snap to it, you lugheads.

[IN NORMAL VOICE]
It's kind of fun being a sl*ve driver.

When the sand runs out,
the rope will be cut.

And then goodbye, Gummi Bear.

The Gummis will stop you yet, you--
You evil, monstrous villain.

Why, thank you.

Five blue berries,
then three yellow, then...

[GASPS]

The three-step stir.
It's not on the recipe.

[IN DEEP VOICE]
Go away while I'm cooking.

[OGRE GRUNTS]

[IN NORMAL VOICE]
Grammi kept it in her heart,

and now I have to find it in my head.

Here goes.

First stir to the right. No, no.

It's slow to the right,

then slow to the left.

Then bang.

I did it! I made Gummiberry juice!

- Hey, you not Gummi lady.
- Uh-oh.

[TOADIE GRUNTS]

TOADIE:
It's real juice.

Look, Grammi's in big trouble.

- Toodle-oo.
- Aah!

Here, Calla, drink.

Now throw.

ALL:
Hooray!

Bye-bye, sweetie.

- Oh, Grammi.
- I knew you could do it, sweetheart.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Now we wait for Dukefulness.

Real juice.

Oh, Dukie be so proud of Chef Toadie.

Ooh. And now the bang.

So you thought you'd leave me here
with egg on my face.

[JUICE EXPLODES]

- Let's bounce out of here.
- But I can't bounce.

[OGRES GRUNTING]

Well, now you know the secret recipe.

Yup, it's right here in my heart.

Hi, Sunni. Can you come out?
I thought you might like a fencing lesson.

Well, I don't know, Calla.
I have chores to do.

You've worked hard enough today.

Yippee!

Oh, she'll make a fine juice-maker,

uh, someday.
