06x03 - A Gummi's Work is Never Done

Post by bunniefuu »

[theme music playing]


Dashing and daring


Courageous and caring


Faithful and friendly


With stories to share


All through the forest


They sing out in chorus


Marching along
as their song fills the air


Gummi Bears


Bouncing here
and there and everywhere


High adventure
that's beyond compare


They are the Gummi Bears


[thudding]


Magic and mystery


Are part of their history


Along with the secret
Of Gummiberry juice


Their legend is growing


They take pride in knowing


They fight for what's right
in whatever they do


Gummi Bears


Bouncing here
and there and everywhere


High adventure
that's beyond compare


They are the Gummi Bears


They are the Gummi Bears!


[wind howling]


Brrr!
It's freezin' out here!


And the cold's not making
my job any easier,
that's for sure.


-[snaps]
-Oh, swell.


I thought I asked Grammi
to sew some new buttons
on this jacket!


[Toadie]
Faster, men! Faster!


Cold-hearted Dukie
needs wood to warm up.


Great! As if things weren't
bad enough already!


Now let's pick up the pace!


Toadie pick up pace!
Me want to rest.


Me too!


Now, now, faithful troops,


we don't want to keep
dear Dukems waiting...


[ogres groaning]


...do we?


Lockie!
A Gummi Bear tree!


Me look for more.


Gummi Bears don't
grow on trees! Get him!


This way, you g*ons!


[click]


[groans]


Gummi not fool Zook!


Wanna bet?


[groaning]


Come back,
little Gummi!


Over here
by the stump, chump!


Whooa!


Say bye-bye!


-[glug glug]
-Bye-bye!


Tricky Gummi got
another thing coming


if he thinks
he's got the drop on...


meeeeeeeeeeee...


Hole-in-one Toadie
gonna make someone
pay for this.


[gasps]


This is no ordinary hole.


Must be an old
Gummi hideout!


Wow-ee! Plans for
fancy Gummi machine!


Dukimente will certainly
want to see this.


[Igthorn]
Where are those lazy louts?


I told those Ogres
to bring back firewood
hours ago!


Shiver no more,
Your Dukiness!


Faithful Toadie
has found something
much better than wood.


A crumpled piece of paper?


-You pea-brain!
-[Toadie groans]


I'd better see some
firewood fast, Toadwart


or I'll use you
for kindling!


[gasps]


But, Dukie!


This could be the answer
to all our housewarming needs!


These are nothing but
some stupid plans for...


an ancient Gummi
logging machine?


Finally! The right tool
for the right job!


Goodie!


From now on,
cutting firewood
will be a breeze!


Guess again, blockhead!


With this machine,
I'll be able to step


right over the walls of Dunwyn


and slice anything
that gets in my way!


Sounds dandy,


but all we've got is
picture of the machine.


You are going
to build it
from scratch!


[thud]


Hard-working Toadie
deserves overtime for this!


Hmm!


Gruffi's never around
when you need him!


First the washer goes,
and now the flue is stuck!


Well, at least I can
get some mending done.


[Gruffi]
That's a fine how d'ya do!


I almost get flattened by
a bunch of overgrown baboons


and you're just sitting
around doing nothing!


Nothing? I'm fixing
one of your shirts!


Well, while you're at it,
you can fix this, too!


Now what's for lunch?


-Leftover stinkweed stew!
-Again?


Look, it's your fault
I can't cook a hot meal!


My fault?
Cooking is your job!


Yes, but fixing the flue
on the stove is yours!


So quit your belly-aching
and do something useful
around here!


Listen, Miss Know-It-All.


I'm the only one who
ever does any real
work around here!


-I wish I had it
as easy as you!
-[Grammi] Easy?


You couldn't do what I do
if our lives depended on it!


Uh-oh.
They're at it again.


I could do your job
a lot better than
you could do mine!


Oh yeah?


Then let's trade jobs
and see who works harder
around here!


It's a deal!


You'll give up
long before I do!


Humph!
You'll be begging me
for your old job back!


Now I'll
take care of the flue
while you make lunch!


No problem!


I'm not so sure about that.


I've got a funny feeling


this is gonna be one lunch
we'll never forget.


Put tab A into slot B,


then connect the
main flanger to the--


[Igthorn]
Haven't you finished yet?


We're right on schedule,
Your Impatiency!


Would Dukie care
for a demonstration?


-What do think?
-Gotcha!


Okay, boys.
Let 'er rip!


[motor starting]


[chugging]


[sputtering]


[motor dies]


I knew it.
This contraption
is a lemon!


Oh, no, Dukems,
it's in perfect
working order!


[screams]


Just a few tiny bugs
to work out!


Are you gonna take all day?
I've got lunch to cook!


Hold your horses, Gruffi.


This flue is so plugged up,
I can't see a thing!


Don't look at me,
it's not my job anymore!


Oh well, I guess I'll just
have to blow the soot out!


No, Grammi! Don't!


Well, I fixed it!


You fixed it all right.


Now what about this mess?


Cleaning the kitchen
is your job, remember?


And that's not all.


Here's a list of the rest
of your chores for the day.


Happy homemaking!


Finally!


Now I can get
some real work
done around here!


Now that's using
the ol' Bear Brain!


[Sunni] Wow!
It's sweeping up a storm!


See? Grammi's job
isn't so hard after all.


Especially with my know-how!


Uh, is lunch ready yet?


It's all
under control, Tummi!


I've even made dessert!


I, uh, hope your cooking
tastes as good as Grammi's.


Don't worry, kid.
Anything would be
an improvement!


Now let's see.
Next on the list is...


"Make Gummiberry Juice."


Gummiberry Juice?


That's not gonna be easy.


If Grammi can do it,
then so can I!


Be careful, Gruffi!


That's the last
of our Gummiberries.


Settle down, Sunni.


I know what I'm doing.


Maybe I'd better help.


Grammi once showed me
how to make it.


First, put in
three green berries
and one red berry...


Or was it one green
and five red?


So it won't be exactly
like Grammi makes it.


It'll be better!


But, the wrong combination
could make the juice unstable!


-Uh... Gruffi?
-I know, I know!


When's lunch
gonna be ready, right?


No, I just wanted to tell
you that your broom wound down.


No problem.


All it needs is a little
bit of Gruffi power!


Just one extra twist
and my self sweeping broom
will run for hours.


[grunts] There!


Now that wasn't so hard,
was it?


Yow!


Ooo, I bet that was hard!


Help!


Oooh! Ouch! Yow!


Gruffi!


[bubbling]


Get this batty broom
off my tail!


Hold on, Gruffi!
I'll stop it!


[groans]


Gruffi, are you all right?


Well, at least I don't have
to take a bath today!


[rumbling]


Does this mean lunch
is gonna be late?


I assure you
Oh Suspicious One...


this time everything
is in tip top shape!


It had better be...


or you'll be fishing
for piranha at the bottom
of the moat!


[sputters]


Get your swim fins ready,
you blunderer!


Don't worry, dear Dukie.


Tinkering Toadie
will take a look!


Just a minor setback.


Oh, I don't see what's
so complicated about this!


[Gruffi]
Face it, Grammi,...


you don't have the brains
to fix a potholder!


Oh, yeah?


I can do it if a certain
"Mr. Know-Nothing" stops
breathing down my neck!


Well, don't let me get
in the way of genius!


[clicks]


There!
That wasn't so hard.


What luck!


Old Gummi lady looks
handy with tools!


Maybe she can get
the Gummi machine to work!


Surprise!


Ogres!


Oh, no! I'm plumb out
of Gummiberry juice!


[Grammi in distance]
Gruffi! Help!


Hmph!


She probably snagged
her skirt on the...
[gasps]


[groans]


Grab that Gummi Lady!


Ha! I dare you
to come and get me!


Okay!


Huh?


Oh, no!
The trap's stuck!


[Grammi]
Get your grimy
paws off me!


Helllp!


Heh! Dukie's gonna be
pleased as punch!


Take her to Drekmore!


-Hang on, Grammi, I'm...
-[clicks]


Whoooa!


Well, it looks like
Little Miss Fix-it


just got herself
in a real fix!


[Igthorn]
Good work, Toadwart!


This Gummi Bear
can do more than
merely lend us advice.


She can be the new foreman!


Whoa!


If you think
I'm helping you,


you're balmier than
a bunch of ogres!


What did you say?


That's it, Dukie!
Let her have it!


Dear lady!


Surely a woman with your
mechanical expertise...


knows how to repair
this simple Gummi device.


Even if I did,
I sure wouldn't tell you!


Bah!


Why am I wasting my breathe?


You obviously don't have
the brains to fix a potholder!


Oh, yeah?
Lemme at it!


Ah, here's your problem!


[motor roars]


See? I told you
I could fix it!


And I never doubted you!


[gasps] Oh my goodness!
What have I done?


No need to fret,
my dear.


We can take over
from here!


But I didn't
show you everything


You showed us
more than enough.


And now you can show us
how to make Gummiberry Juice!


Take her to the kitchen!


[laughing]


It's only a matter of time
before I cut King Gregor
down to size.


I told Grammi
she couldn't handle my job...


And I was right...
as usual!


-Whoa!
-[rocks clanking]


-[water splashes]
-You hear that?


Hmm. Maybe just a froggy!


Yeah, big froggy!


[sputters]
I hope Grammi
appreciates this!


Just look at this place!


I'll bet no one's
cleaned it in years!


Grammi! Is that you?


Gruffi? Oh, thank heavens!


Get me outta here!


Hold onto your skirt!


[grunting]


The bolt is stuck.


[Grammi]
Oh, honestly, Gruffi!


Can't you even open
a simple door?


If you're such
a mechanical wizard,


why don't you come out
and do it?


-[clicks]
-There! I got it!


And me got you.


-Whoooa!
-Gruffi!


Hmmph! This is
all your fault!


-My fault?
-[Gruffi] Yeah!


If you knew to fix
a trap properly


We wouldn't be
in this mess.


Don't talk to me
about messes!


If you knew how
to make the Juice--


You never told me the recipe!


You never asked!


You already know everything!


-[thumping]
-What was that?


Ha, ha! It works!


Isn't she a beauty?


[Toadie] It slices.


It dices and it makes
the perfect party gift!


Ah, and what a party
it will be, Toadwart...


when we cut our
way into Dunwyn!


How in the world did
Igthorn build that thing?


Uh, well, don't ask me!


[Gruffi]
Listen, we've gotta
get outta here


and stop him before
he gets to Dunwyn!


But how?


I've got an idea.


[sniffing]
You smell something?


Uh, yeah!
It smell like...


[Gruffi] Fire.


[Ogres] Fire?


Help! Help! save me!


[Gad] We save you,
little Gummies!


[coughing]


[Gad] You see Gummies?


[Zook]
Me not see nothin'.


[Gruffi]
Now, where's Igthorn?


-[loud thudding]
-Here he comes!


And there he goes!


Ha, ha!


[Igthorn]
Onward to Dunwyn!


Looks like a fine day
for pumpkin eating, Betsy.


Whoa there, girl!


What in blue blazes?


Whoooooa!


[laughing] This is
so much fun, Toadwart.


Why, it's twice the
fun of anything else!


We've got to catch
up to Igthorn before
he reaches Dunwyn


or the place'll be
reduced to splinters!


Well, if we had
Gummiberry juice,
it wouldn't be so hard!


So you admit that
you couldn't do it
without me, huh?


I said no such thing!


Oh, hush up, Gruffi!


We've got to find Igthorn!


Well it won't be
too hard to figure out
which way he went.


[Knight #]
I win! I win again!


Yeah, yeah.
Big deal.


So cut the cards already.


Forget the game, mate!
The stakes are too high!


[screaming]


Dearest Dukie
is a real cut up.


That's just a taste
of what I'll do
to Dunwyn, Toadwart.


Wait till you see
what I've got planned
for the main course!


[Knights] Hyaah!


Ah! A welcoming party!


Prepare for the worst, men.


A mere sword is no match
for a buzz saw blade.


[Sir Tuxford]
Retreat, men!


And don't forget
to tell King Gregor


to have his throne
ready for me.


The Duke is coming home!


Igthorn was here all right!


Well, let's give him
something to think about.


Follow me!


[Igthorn] Ah, Toadwart.
Isn't this a wonderful day?


Dunwyn will be mine
for the taking!


This oughta bring that
machine down to its knees!


-[groans]
-[thud]


Gruffi, are you--?


I may be down,
but I'm not out!


Dukie! Look!


No Gummi Bear is going
to trip me up!


[screaming]


Hitchhikers!


I'll shake them off
like soap and water
on an ogre's back!


[Gruffi]
Hang on, Grammi!


[Grammi]
I'm hangin',
I'm hangin'.


Drat! Those blasted
bears won't let go.


I'll just have
to scrape them off!


Whoooaaa!


If only I had something
to gum up the gears...


like Gummiberries!


What's going on?


I don't know,
o Insightful One...


But all of a sudden
Twirling Toadie
feels seasick!


[Gruffi]
Hurry, Grammi!


This machine's definitely
on its last legs!


[Toadie] Incoming!


[Gruffi]
Now how're we gonna
stop this thing?


No problem.


I loosened the bolts
in the saw blades. See?


You're going to pay
big or this, Toadwart.


When we get
back to Drek--


Excuse me,
your Nastiness,...


but there's something else
we had better tend to first.


Whaaa?


Yaaaah!


Yikes!


Whoooaaa!


Toadwart,
you blunderer!


I hope you like
playing with piranha


because you're
going for a dip
in the moat!


[slurps] Mmmmm.


I'm sure glad things
are back to normal
around here!


The crank on the washer's
back to normal, too.


I fixed it,
of course!


Thanks, Gruffi!


I'll admit your job
isn't easy...


but I did learn
a few new tricks!


Well, you're not
the only one!


For dessert, I even made
a brambleberry pie!


The pie! I forgot--


I have to admit I sorta
like Gruffi's cooking...


[slurps]


...even if it is
kinda hit and miss!


Eew! Who's gonna
clean up this mess?


[Grammi and Gruffi]
It's your job!


[chuckles]
Why don't we both do it?


[chuckles]
Good idea!
