06x04 - Tuxford's turnaround

[bunniefuu]

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

CUBBI:
So you wanna play rough, eh?

Well, take that and that and that.

Thanks. Don't mind if I do.

CUBBI:
Ta-da!

Who else dares challenge
Sir Cubbi of Gummi Glen?

G YRE:
Onward, men.

Charge.

[BOTH SCREAM]

Wow, those are the knights
from Gimble.

TUMMI:
Looks like they're headed for Dunwyn.

Then so are we.

But we said we'd help Gruffi
repair his water wheel.

He can wait.

Something big must be going on
at Dunwyn and we don't wanna miss it.

We don't?

CAVIN:
Sir Tuxford, wait. Your boot.

Oh, all right, but hurry, lad.
King Gregor awaits.

[GRUNTING]

Hurry up, slowpoke.

This door is stuck.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

It's no use.
We'd better get Gruffi to fix it.

No way.

I've gotta see
what those knights are doing here.

I say, Cavin, do hurry.
There's no time to waste.

I don't know if this is such
a good idea. Ah!

There. That ought to do it.

[GASPS]

Here, Sir Tuxford, let me help.

TUXFORD:
Hey.

BOTH:
Whoa!

- Are you guys all right?
- I will be

as soon as this merry-go-round stops.

TUXFORD:
I say, what's going on here?

Cavin. Cavin. Where are you, lad?

Sorry, Sir Tuxford, but I wanted
to make sure your helmet was on straight.

Sometimes I'm not so sure
your head is on straight, boy.

Now, quit dawdling.

The king has something very important
to announce.

CUBBI:
I told you we didn't wanna miss this.

Wow!

[CHATTERING]

Fellow Dunwynians,

as you know, tomorrow
is the annual tournament of knights.

Not onIy will the winner
be named champion of the people,

but he shall receive the coveted
Golden Shield of Lessmore.

CROWD:
Wow.

And naturally, the brave Sir Tuxford
will represent Dunwyn.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Yay! Tux--

As always, battling for Dunwyn
is an honour and a pleasure.

Me thinks the onIy battle old Tuxy
ever fought was the battle of the bulge.

[KNIGHTS LAUGH]

And it looks like he lost that one.

I beg your pardon, Sir Gyre.

That's not all you'll
be begging for, Grandpa.

Now, now, men, there'll be plenty
of fighting tomorrow at the tournament.

Wow, a tournament of knights.

Oh, this is great.

IGTHORN:
This is ridiculous.

How can there be a tournament
of champions?

They're missing the greatest knight
in the world.

Who is that, Your Dubiousness?

- Me!
- I knew that.

But I shall have the last laugh.

While all of Dunwyn
is out watching the tournament,

I'll be preparing the troops
to take over the empty castle.

And all you have to do is signal
when everyone's gone.

Not a bad plan, eh, Toadwart?

Personally, I think it's gonna
be a real drag.

Hmph. If I had three paws,

it still wouldn't be enough
to get this job done.

- Hey, Gruffi.
- Huh?

Ah!

Sorry, Gruffi, but guess where we were.

Oh, saving the world again?

No, we were in Dunwyn

with a whole bunch of knights in armour
and everything.

And I was right here
all by myself waiting for you.

OnIy you let me down.

- I didn't mean to, it's just that--
- I know, you wanted to have fun.

Well, it's about time
you started showing a little responsibility.

Now, not another word about Dunwyn.

Not even about
the broken Gummi door?

Not even about the--
Broken Gummi door?

[SPLASH]

TOADIE:
Like Toadie always say:

"Never take a castle
on an empty stomach."

[GOOSE SQUAWKING]

Yum. There's my second course now.

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

Would you believe juggling?

GUARD: You little thief.
- Ah!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

There. Now, let's make sure
this doesn't happen again.

If anyone ever finds this Gummi tunnel,
our gooses are cooked.

KNIGHT: Yeah, hang in there.
Good. You're doing good.

Well, I guess it's time
to show these youngsters

how a real knight
runs an obstacle course. Heh, heh.

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

[KNIGHTS LAUGHING]

Guess I'm a little out of practise.

I'd better go wash up.

Me thinks old Tuxy is washed up.

He is not.

Show them
the old tricky Tuxford turnaround.

TUXFORD:
Well, I don't know if that's such a good--

Go on.
OId Tuxy isn't afraid of a dummy, is he?

Well, of course not.

Take that, you blackguard.

Go for it, Sir Tuxford.

I won't let you down, lad. Ugh!

And that used to be my best move.

Me thinks old Tuxy's best move
would be into a new line of work.

Like court jester.

[KNIGHTS LAUGHING]

How is it coming, Gruffi?

One more spike ought to do the trick.

TUMMI:
Some trick.

This looks bad.

So does this.

GUARD:
Come back here, you goose grabber.

GRUFFI:
Quick.

[GOOSE SQUAWKS]

Whoa!

TOADIE: Come back here,
you flighty feathered fugitive.

There he is.

GRUFFI:
Out with the lights.

Hey, look here.

It's some sort of secret passage.

We'll look into that later.

First, we've gotta catch
that little goose thief.

TUMMI: The Great Gummies sure picked
a busy place to put a door.

Let's just hope those nosey humans
don't come back too soon

because it's gonna take all day
tomorrow to repair this mess.

CUBBI: All day? But tomorrow's
the tournament of knights.

Couldn't we fix it some other time?

Absolutely not.

Now, I'm going home to get some mortar
so we can fix this door once and for all.

And I want you two to stay put
and guard this door.

What are we gonna do
if those guards come back?

Don't worry, no one's gonna find--

BOTH:
Yipes.

Sorry, guys, I didn't mean to scare you.

- Us? Scared?
- No way.

Good, because I need
a couple of brave bears.

Sir Tuxford's got a problem
and we're gonna help him solve it.

TUMMI: I don't know
if this is such a good idea.

Gruffi told us to stay
and guard the door.

Relax, he won't even know we're gone.

Besides, we can't let a good knight
like Sir Tuxford down.

- All set?
- One damsel in distress

ready to be rescued.

[IN WOMAN'S VOICE]:
Help! Help!

Oh, please, help!

TUXFORD:
My word, a damsel in distress.

So there really is such a thing.

[IN NORMAL VOICE] How we doing?
- Great.

- Unhand her, you cad.
CAVIN: Oh, no.

Not Sir Tuxford the Brave.

Why, I'd rather fight all the knights
in the kingdom

than stand
against the famed Sir Tuxford.

Really?

Whoa!

Cavin? So you and your friends
thought you'd play a little joke on me, eh?

- No, honest, that's not it at all.
- Hmph.

I guess the onIy thing
I'm good for anymore is a laugh.

CAVIN:
But, Sir Tuxford, you don't understand.

Cavin's sure gonna have a tough time
explaining this one.

TUMMI: Not as tough as we're gonna have
if we don't get back before Gruffi.

Terribly tired Toadie is sick of fast food.

Giddy goose not trick me this time.

Aha! I've got you now,
my little midnight snack.

CUBBI: Look, no one knows
there's a Gummi tunnel,

so no one will be looking for it.

And if no one's looking for it,
then no one will find it.

TUMMI: Right. Besides, they'll be
much too busy fighting that fire.

- Fire!
- Fire!

Hurry, Tummi. If anyone sees this smoke,
they'll notice our tunnel for sure.

[TOADIE COUGHING]

[SQUAWKING]

TOADIE:
I'm not through with you yet, goosey.

What's that old lady doing here again?

I don't know, but we'd better put out
this fire before she comes back.

I'm telling you, there was some kind
of secret passage behind that wall.

- It was right over--
- Hey!

TOADIE:
Excuse me, gents.

Grab that grandma!

Lucky it was onIy a small fire
or someone might've been hurt.

GRUFFI:
Someone still might.

- Gruffi.
- Gruffi.

We were onIy gone for a little while.
We didn't think anything would happen.

You didn't think, that's the problem.

Being a Gummi is more than just fun
and games, you know.

Now hurry up and find something
to cover up this hole.

We've got work to do.

[DRUMS ROLLING & HORNS TOOTING]

Let the tournament begin.

[CROWD CHEERING]

This wild-goose chase
is getting on fragile Toadie's nerves.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Uh-oh. The tournament. Duty calls.

Once Dukie takes over,
I'll have all the fowI I want.

Aha. Toadwart's signal.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Who cares about winning first prize
at the tournament of knights?

My prize will be Dunwyn. Ha, ha, ha!

Ah!

Whoa!

[GRUNTING]

[THUMP]

You again.

TOADIE:
Toodle-loo!

What are you smiling at? After her!

Well, one good thing
about your tournament,

with all the humans gone,
we can work without interruptions.

Yeah, that's one good thing.

[CROWD CHEERING]

[NEIGHING]

[CROWD CHEERING]

CAVIN: Sir Tuxford?
- What?

Oh, Cavin. What is it, boy?

I just want to say be careful.

GREGOR:
You're next, Sir Tuxford.

Oh, I am?

I mean, oh, I'm afraid I've just gotten
a terrible pain in my back. Ugh.

Must be an old fighting injury.

Me thinks the onIy thing wrong
with old Tuxy's back

is the big yellow streak down it.
Ha, ha, ha.

Maybe we could take a break
and go watch the tournament.

Not a chance, kid.

Now, stop thinking
about that silly contest

and pay attention
to what you're doing. Ow!

I know what you mean.

Figures, that was my last spike.

Don't worry, I'll look for more.

Okay, but be careful. And be quick.

GUARD: Why are we always left behind
to guard the castle?

Just lucky, I guess.

TOADIE:
Oh, yoo-hoo!

We've got you now, you sitting duck.

Wanna bet?

[LAUGHING]

[CROWD CHEERING]

Boy, it sounds like a great tournament.

Maybe I'll just watch it for a little while.

CAVIN:
But you can't just quit.

Sorry, lad, I'm afraid
my days of knighthood are over.

You'll just have to find
someone else's sword to carry.

Well, maybe I should
since you're nothing but a big phoney.

TUXFORD:
What did you say, boy?

A real knight would live up
to his responsibilities,

not run away from them.

He'd do what's right,
whether he likes it or not.

You're right, Cavin.
I can't let Dunwyn down.

And I can't let
Gummi Glen down either.

Forget the tournament.
Sir Cubbi has a job to do.

My plan is working perfectly.
Dunwyn will be mine.

TUXFORD:
Igthorn, what's the meaning of this?

Why, we're planning a little
welcome home party for King Gregor.

Didn't you get your invitations?

Now, take these loyal losers
to the dungeon.

GAD & ZOOK:
Okey-dokey, Dukie.

And search the castle
for any more party crashers.

ZOOK:
Me crush crashers.

Oh, no.

- Gruffi!
- So where are the spikes?

- Spikes?
- Hmph. I knew it.

You went to watch that silly tournament.

Well, I was going to,
but that's not what's important.

Igthorn has taken over the castle.

Igthorn? Why didn't you say so?

We've got to do something
before he finds this tunnel.

But what about Cavin?

TUXFORD:
Oh, what's the use?

Not onIy have I lost the tournament,
I've lost Dunwyn Castle.

[FLY BUZZING]

[SNORING]

Just what we need, ogres.

- How we gonna get past them?
- I know.

Hey, you guys,

Dukie says there's free food
in the kitchen!

- Free food?
- Free food? Goodie. Goodie.

I hope it's cream of slime.

Hm. Maybe you are what you eat.

Bingo. Getting Cavin out will be easy.

Not if Tuxford sees you.

Don't worry, I'll be careful.

Sorry, Cavin.

I'm afraid I've let you
and all of Dunwyn down.

But, Sir Tuxford,
a knight never gives up.

It's as plain as the nose
on your face, lad.

It's time this old knight
hangs up his armour.

Why, I bet you could bust out of here
anytime you want.

TUXFORD:
Don't be ridiculous, boy.

These chains wouldn't come loose
even if you-- Ugh!

- You did it.
- Yes, I suppose I did. Come on, lad.

There's no time to waste.

That feisty fowI's
got to be around here--

Now what are you doing?

Uh-- Looking for shifty gee-- Spies?

- Well, spy this.
- Ah!

Now, get that catapult ready,
you cartwheeling clown.

TUXFORD: Not so fast, Igthorn.
You're our prisoners now.

Take care of those ogres, men.

- Us?
- Us?

All you need is a little courage.

Personally, I prefer a big sword.

Oh, goodie, a fight.

- Mama!
- Mama!

Let's teach those melon heads
a lesson.

BOTH:
Whoa!

[THUMP]

GRUFFI: This ought to put those
big bullies in their place.

Now, that's what I call
hardened criminals.

Rock 'em, sock 'em

Go, Iggy, go Iggy

Maybe we'd better give Tuxford a hand.

Doesn't look like
we have to do anything.

TUXFORD:
Take that and that and that.

Not bad for an old man.

Time to put the odds
in devious Dukie's favour.

[GOOSE SQUAWKING]

Uh-oh!

Ugh!

Well, well,
what have you to say for yourself now?

- How about, "your shoe's untied"?
- It is?

Whoa!

Igthorn, you're nothing
but a no-good cheat.

Why, thank you. I do try.

Well, you'll have to try harder.

CAVIN:
Way to go, Tuxy.

He's gonna try
the old tricky Tuxford turnaround.

Say good night, knight.

Good night.

CAVIN: Yeah. That'll teach him
to mess with Tuxford the Brave.

Well, I onIy did what had to be done.

[IGTHORN SCREAMING]

G YRE:
Look, up in the sky.

It's a bird.

It's a crane.

- No, it's--
TOADIE: Dukie wookums.

TUXFORD: And don't ever come back,
you scoundrel!

Ah, Sir Tuxford, I should've known.

You pretended you were injured
just so you could protect the castle.

- Well, I-- Uh-- Uh-- That is to say--
- I guess we all owe you an apology.

Me thinks this belongs to you, old Tuxy.

Hurray for Sir Tuxford!

This calls for a celebration.

Aren't you forgetting something?

[ALL GASP]

The door.

[ALL GRUNTING]

GRUFFI:
We've almost got it.

GUARD :
It's this way, I tell you.

Uh-oh. Someone's coming.

GUARD : I'm sure that secret passage
is around here somewhere.

GUARD : Yeah, yeah. Next you'll be
telling me Gummi Bears are real.

Done. Couldn't have fixed the door
without you guys.

- Even you, Sir Cubbi.
- Me?

I wish that maybe someday,
I'll be half as great a knight as Sir Tuxford.

Well, you're off to a good start, kid.

Not onIy did you help keep Gummi Glen
and Dunwyn safe,

but you learned to be responsible.

I leaned another important lesson too.

- The old tricky Tuxford turnaround.
- Whoa!
