01x12 - Bubble Trouble/Gummi in a Strange Land

Post by bunniefuu »

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, goodness, goodness me.

I don't know how
I'm gonna get this Gummi calendar

all written by nightfall.

Oh, goodness.

Hmm?

Oh, must be a draught.

Uh, draught?

Yow!

[CHORTLES]

This sure is big rabbit hole.

Gonna get me one.

Help!

ZUMMI:
Help!

[THUMPING NEARBY]

- What are we gonna do?
- Let's bash him.

That's not working, Cubbi, dear.

The onIy way to get his hand out
is to pull it in.

Everybody grab a finger.

[ALL GRUNT]

Hey. Got big rabbit.

Uh-oh.

- All right. Let go.
OGRE: Whoa!

[OGRE CRASHING]

Rabbit hole gone.

Next time, I try mouse hole.
Little mouse hole.

- Whew, that was close.
- Oh, you said it.

Uh, what I wanna know
is who left that door open.

I guess I did.

- Sunni, how could you do such a thing?
- I was in a hurry.

That is no excuse
for not using your head.

Next thing you know, she'll be passing out
the secret of Gummiberry juice

to complete strangers.

- Oops.
- What do you mean, "oops"?

My juice.

When my belt fastener broke,
I set it down and forgot it.

My goodness, Sunni.
How can you be so thoughtless?

Uh, sorry. I'll go get it.
I know right where I left it.

Here, take this.
You might need it before you find yours.

- Thank you, Gruffi.
- Don't thank me. Just go.

[PANTING]

Whew, still here.

Mama, Mama, Mama!

[DRAGON CRASHING]

Mama, Mama!

A baby cliff dragon.
It must have fallen out of its nest.

It's calling for its mama.
Ooh, I'd better get out of here.

Mama! Mama?

But what if your mother doesn't come?

I just can't leave you here, baby.
That would be thoughtless.

And nobody's going to accuse me
of that anymore.

Hey, baby. Wanna be friends?

Mama!

Whoa. I'm on your side, little guy.

Look. Pretty?

See the pretty bottle?

No, give that back.

[HICCUPS]

Wow.

Well, that's easier to deal with than fire.

Maybe not.

Bubbles, the first thing we've got to do
is get rid of those hiccups.

Now, try holding your breath.

[BUBBLES SQUEAKS]

Like this.

[HICCUPS]

SUNNI:
Well, we're just gonna have to keep trying.

IGTHORN:
Just you wait, Gregor.

Someday I'll have a brilliant superweapon
and grind you into dust.

Do you hear? Dust!

- What is that doing here?
- Floating, o astringent one.

I can see that, mush-for-brains.
Get rid of it.

Instantly, o commander of loudness.

That was magnificent.

It came from over there.
Come on, you lazy twits.

Where are we going, Your Abruptness?

To find my superweapon.

[IGTHORN LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

- Boo!
- Hic, hic, hic.

[BUBBLES EXPLODING]

Well, that didn't work either.

We'll just have to ask Zummi for help.
Come on.

I think you're gonna have to wait out here,
Bubbles, okay?

[HICCUPS]

In fact, the further away, the better.

There. Now, don't go away.
I'll be right back.

[HICCUPS]

[BUBBLE EXPLODES]

There it is, men,
my passport to Dunwyn Castle. Come on.

[HICCUPS]

[BUBBLE EXPLODES]

Ah! Uh-oh.

I almost forgot again.

[GLASS BREAKING]

Now, just a few more lines
and I'll be finished at last.

Hee-hee. Without a single mistake.

[DOOR OPENS]

SUNNI:
Zummi, I need help.

- Oh. No, no, no.
- Oops.

Well, I'm sorry you have a problem, Sunni,
but now I have one of my own.

Thanks to your thoughtlessness.

- But, Zummi, I...
- Thank you and goodbye.

Oh. Heh. Hi, Sunni. Need some help?

- Yes. Come on.
- Oh, swell, I guess.

And when it hiccups,
these bubbles pop out and explode.

I feel that way when I eat radishes.

- Ah! It's gone.
- That's funny.

Your bubble dragon leaves tracks
just like an ogre.

Oh, no. Ogres have got Bubbles.
Come on.

[CRYING]

[HICCUPS]

Perfect.

Now, I need someone to get close

and pop the bubbles
if they start to wander.

- Thank you for volunteering.
- Oh, of course, Your Igbleness.

[IN LOW VOICE]
"Volunteering." Oh, boy, oh, boy.

Now, let's watch these bubbles.

[AIR WHOOSHING]

How do you like them apples,
Gregor? Ha!

[IN NORMAL VOICE]
Ha, ha. This is fun.

[PLAYING NOTE]

[ALL SHOUTING]

- Shall I send out the knights, sire?
- How?

We don't know where this att*ck
is coming from.

[HICCUPPING AND CRYING]

Mama! Mama!

SUNNI:
We've gotta do something.

Tummi, hit those bubbles
with the pebble sh**t.

Me? It would be easier
if they were vases.

OGRE 1 : Run, run, run!
OGRE 2: Run away, run away!

Come on, Tummi.
Now's our chance to untie Bubbles.

Wait!

Get those sniping Gummi Bears.

[OGRES GRUNTING]

- What do we do now?
- I don't know.

BUBBLES [CRYING]:
Mama!

Oh, I wish I was your mama, Bubbles.

That's it. Mama. Come on.

TUMMI:
I don't know, Sunni. That's awful steep.

SUNNI:
We've gotta do it, Tummi.

We've just got to.

[TUMMI GRUNTING]

Stupendous.
Just a few more of those, lads.

[OGRE CHORTLING]

- Hic.
- Perfect. Just perfect.

[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

- No mama.
- She's must be out looking for Bubbles.

Then who's that?

[GROWLING]

Jump, Tummi!

My juice wore off. I'll go get the others.

BUBBLES [CRYING]:
Mama, Mama!

Nutweed! My plan's ruined.

[SOBBING]
Again.

[HICCUPS]

[HICCUPS THEN BURPS]

- Well, I'm glad that's over with.
TOADIE: Don't move, Gummi.

Wait till Dukie sees the present
I have for him.

Look out, behind you.

Oh, no, you don't.
I'm not as dumb as I look.

[TOADIE YELLS]

Sunni, dear, you're a sight.
Let's get you home.

Say, what's all this
Tummi's been telling us

about bubbles and dragons and such?

It is a long story.

- And then they flew off together.
- Look.

What fool left that door open again?

Well, uh... Ha, ha. You know, uh...

You know, when you're in a hurry,
it's easy to forget things, huh, Gruffi?

[ALL LAUGHING]

Remember, the fish is quick,
so to catch it, you gotta be quicker.

GRAMMI:
Land of Goshen. What are you two doing?

Shh. Gruffi's teaching me
the right way to fish.

No, he's not, dearest,
he's teaching you his way to fish.

You should use a fishing pole.

- Nah, too slow.
- Here, Cubbi. I brought you a nice lunch.

Why do you think we're out here?
I'm teaching the kid to find food.

That's how I knew he'd be hungry.

Is that so? Well, watch this.

[GASPS]

Wow, he did it. Did you see, Grammi?

Yes, sweetheart, but he did it wrong.

Got any more advice about fishing?

A fishing pole might be slower,
but it's surer.

And drier.

[GRUFFI SCOFFS]

- Sore loser.
- Not at all.

I'm sure Cubbi agrees
that my way is better.

Cubbi? Cubbi!

[GRUFFI SPUTTERS]

Cubbi, sugar, you might get hurt.

Aw, Grammi,
I want some honey for my muffin.

You might get stung, sweetheart.

Let me make a fire
and we'll smoke the bees out first.

GRUFFI:
Dawdle, doodle and delay.

Cubbi, the Gummi way to solve problems
is to charge right in.

Yikes! Get back, monster.
I'm warning you.

Gruffi!

[SNORING]

How can he be asleep?

[GRAMMI GASPS]

GRAMMI:
A slumber sprite. Wait. Wait, you sprite.

- Wait a minute.
CUBBI: A what?

A slumber sprite.
It put a sleeping spell on Gruffi.

That's how they defend themselves.
We gotta get it to wake him up.

Zummi knows spells.
Can't he help Gruffi?

No. OnIy the sprite
that placed the spell can break it.

There it is. Wait, sprite!

CUBBI:
Grammi, look.

Cubbi, sweetheart,
come help us catch that sprite.

Shouldn't we go get the others?

There's no time.
Sprites don't leave tracks.

If we lose sight of him,
we'll never find him again.

[GRUFFI SNORING]

Can you see which way he went?

There he is. Or his pot, anyway.

He'll never abandon that pot.
Sprites live for honey.

Mount Thorn?
But we shouldn't be able to see that.


- Unless...
- Grammi, look. The sprite.

Unless we've crossed into Drekmore.
Cubbi, stop!

- Grammi, he's getting away.
- Sweetie, we're in Drekmore.

Things aren't as innocent as they look.

See? We'll have to go around.

I think it'll be shorter if we go left.

Oh, no.

[SNORING]

Come on. We gotta go catch him.

Not that way.
We might lose him and the sprite.

The puffballs take a second to blow up.

Let's do it like Gruffi said.
Charge right in.

GRAMMI:
Cubbi!

[GRUFFI GRUNTS THEN SNORES]

[PANTING]

[GRUNTS THEN SCREAMS]

- Grammi, are you all right?
GRAMMI: Fine and dandy.

At least we got Gruffi back.
But we've lost the sprite.

Cubbi, dear, don't waste your time.
Sprites don't leave tracks.

Gruffi says everything leaves tracks,
if you know what to look for.

Gruffi is sometimes wrong, sweetness.

The marks left by his honey pot.

[GRAMMI SIGHS]

And I guess he's sometimes right.

- Don't stop. Keep moving.
CUBBI: How come?

That's how come.

Now, why would a sprite
live so far into Drekmore?

Nothing flowers here,
so there's no honey.

[WHIRRS]

- There he is.
- Stay back. You can't have my honey.

- Oof. What's the matter?
- It's a rabbit.

A sabre-toothed rabbit!

[GROWLING]

We're probably all right
if there's onIy one.

[ALL GROWLING]

CUBBI:
We're not all right.

When I say "go,"
run for the nearest tree.

Go!

[ALL GROWLING]

[RABBITS GROWLING]

We were so close.

How are we gonna get rid
of these rabbits?

I wish Gruffi was okay.
He'd have an idea.

Well, I have an idea.
I'll throw them these.

Once they're full,
they won't care about us.

I guess it's worth a try.

[ALL SNIFFING]

Well, it seems that didn't work.

[SNORING]

Do you have a carrot with you?

- What are you up to?
CUBBI: You'll see.

[CAWING]

[RABBITS SCREECHING]

Pretty good, huh?

Lovely, dear. I'll bring Gruffi down.

Did you move him?

Gruffi!

[CAWING]

We'll have to follow it to its nest
and rescue him there.

No time for that.

[SQUAWKS]

- Grammi, are you all right?
- I'm getting too old for this.

Boy, we did it. Gruffi was right.

Charge right in
and you can do anything.

[GROANS]

"Gruffi says, Gruffi says."

Do you wanna grow up
to be just like Gruffi?

- What's wrong with that?
- Oh, nothing, I suppose.

But I like to think that I have a few things
to teach you too, Cubbi.

Come on. Let's find that sprite.

CUBBI:
The trail leads right off here.

We can't get Gruffi down that.
We'll just have to leave him here.

[GRUFFI SNORING]

There are the drag marks.
He must be in here.

Now, when we find him,
leave the talking to me.

[SPRITE SCREAMS]

SPRITE: Don't eat me, don't eat me!
I never did anything to you.

- Come on, we got it cornered now.
- Cubbi, wait. Don't frighten it.

Go away. Go away. Leave me alone.

CUBBI:
Now, you've gotta come with us.

I've had enough of doing it Gruffi's way.
Let's try it my way.

Sprite, are you still there?

SPRITE:
Nope, uh-uh. Long gone. Not here at all.

Please, don't be frightened.
I just want to ask you something.

- Can we help you in any way?
- What? Help me? What?

My guess is
that you have some kind of a problem.

Why else live here,
miles from the nearest honey?

- I have to.
GRAMMI: But why?

Because... Because of my magic stone.

It's the source of my magic.

It's too big to move,
so I have to stay near it.

Well, you know,
we could move that for you.

An old lady and a kid? How could you?

GRAMMI: We have a friend
that would help us, if you help him first.

Who? That loudmouth I zapped
this morning?

- Eh, you're better off without him.
- Well, sometimes I think so.

But no, Gruffi's usually more sensible
than any of us.

And all his noise is just his way
of showing he cares.

- We need him.
- Grammi, you mean that?

Shush, dear.
So if you want our help, you help him.

Well, I think you're crazy,
but all right, I'll unzap him for you.

Why, thank you.

[OGRES MURMURING]

Oh, no.

[OGRES GRUNT]

[TREE CRASHES]

Ogres, ick.

Ogres are one of the worst things
about living in Drekmore.

Can you zap them?

I'm too short.
When I try, they can't even see me.

- What do we do now?
- I don't know.

But I know what Gruffi would do.

- Are you with me?
- Sure.

- This tree fell over.
GRAMMI: Shut up and come on.

Those ogres are waking up already.

I should have told you.
My flasher barely works on ogres.

They're too dumb.

Somebody want to tell me
what's going on around here?

There'll be plenty of time for that

while we're carrying his magic stone
back to Dunwyn.

While we're what?

CUBBI: And then Grammi said,
"We're gonna do this my way."

I don't wanna hear anymore
of what Grammi said.

But then, when the ogres
were carrying you off, she said,

"I'm gonna do this Gruffi's--"

GRAMMI:
For heaven's sake, sweetheart,

Gruffi doesn't wanna hear all that.

GRUFFI:
Hear what? What, hmm? What? What?
