If you'd been driving carefully,
I'd still have my locket.

Yeah?

And nothing's going to stop me.

Nothing.

(SNIFFING)

(SNIFFING)

SHOPKEEPER: Yes?

What pleases you?

Have you seen this woman?

L, uh...

Won't think...

I mean...

Oh, the slime.

"Slime"?

Not in a bad way, you understand.

Have you seen her?

(ROARING)

(SNIFFING)

MAN: (ON TV) We interrupt this program
with a special report!

It's amazing!

A huge swamp man has been
on a rampage of destruction

throughout Nowhere!

SWAMP MAN: (ROARING) NO!

Where are you, swamp woman?

Who's to blame?

Who will pay the price?

This is a story steeped in controversy!

(SWAMP MAN ROARING)

Swamp woman, I want you back!

Ugly man ain't gettin' a girlfriend back,
'less she's blind and stupid.

What drama!

What spectacle!

How did you ever come up
with this outstanding stunt?

(ROARING)

Oh, my!

Isn't that the shop where
we bought the locket?

That is one angry swamp man!

And isn't that our farm?

I've waited centuries for you
to come back.

Now I've got you.

And I'm making you my bride.

COMPUTER: So, you want to find
the swamp man's real girlfriend?

Mmm-hmm!

COMPUTER: I think that's her.

She's located in a small town
called Lotsinvllle, Nlcksburg.

Huh?

(YODEL MUSIC PLAYING)

We're home, swamp woman.

(sum-nus)

He just didn't understand me.

He thinks I'm, uh, forgetful!

But I'm not forgetful!

I just have a blocked head.

But that still doesn't give him
the right to be so impatient with me.

Mmm-hmm.

Who are we talking about again?

Wens)

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

Oh, right.

Him.

He waited how long for me?

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

Centuries, huh?

Maybe he's gotten more patient.

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

Marrying her?

Yuck!

She's repulsive!

I can't let this happen!

Oh, hello!

Who are you?

And when did you get here?

(GROANING)

SWAMP WOMAN: Everett?

Hmm.

Huh?

Swamp woman!

Centuries, huh?

(GRUNTING)

(SHUDDERING)

(EXCLAIMS)

- Catherine!
-(ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING)

So many years.

My mind must have gotten foggy.

I've been so confused.

See?

We can all be a little

forgetful.

I suppose.

Wens)

Why didn't you answer any of my letters?

I sent you hundreds.

Whenever I'd go home after work,
I'd forget where I lived.

Guess I missed your letters.

Forgot where you lived?

How could you forget where you lived?

CATHERINE: Don't take that
superior tone with me!

Seaweed could take
a superior tone with you!

CATHERINE: You're such a bully!

A beast!

(COUGHING) Courage?

(COUGHING)

I had an awful dream, I did.

Oh, my!

Such a good dog.

Let's go home.

EVERETT: Why can't you remember anything?

CATHERINE: I can remember things.

CATHERINE: Hey!

When did we get underwater?

(EVERETT ROARING)

EVERETT: Swamp woman!

(GROANING)

EUSTACE: Muriel?

Get yourself out of bed and feed me!

I'm sorry, Eustace.

I can't move.

(STRAINING) My back's k*lling me!

(WHIMPERING)

Oh, that's too bad.

You're sweet.

Nope.

It's too bad 'cause I'm hungry.

I gotta get you fixed up.

(GROANING)

Hmm.

Does it hurt when I do this?

(THUD)

(GROANING)

(GASPS)

(CRANKING)

Does it hurt when I do this?

- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
-(QUACKING)

(GROANING)

Does it hurt when I do this?

WOW!

(GROANING)

Hmm.

I am afraid I cannot do anything
for this kind of pain.

Nothing at all.

Doctor, you gotta do somethin'.

I'm in awful pain.

And it's almost lunchtime!

Oh, dear!

I see you are all very upset.

Well, I have heard there exists
at the top of Mount Nowhere,

a hot spring with healing waters.

Yay!

(MURIEL GROANING)

This mountain had better have some food.

Oops!

I forgot to tell them that no one
ever returns from Mount Nowhere.

Oh, silly me. (LAUGHS)

-(COURAGE STRAINING)
-(MURIEL GROANING)

Hey, stupid dog!

Are we there yet?

(STRAINING)

(STRAINING)

'(GASPS)

Huh?

(GROANS)

Go back!

(GRUNTING) "Go back"?

You, goat!

We're lookin' for a hot spring!

This place is sacred!

Go back!

(WHIMPERS)

-(BACK CRACKING)
-(GROANING)

No dumb, stinking mountain goat
with stupid oversized antlers

tells me what to do!

You humans make me sick!

Get lost!

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTING)

(GASPS)

A man!

What... Huh?

(SCREAMING)

Please, Mister Goat.

Just let us get through
to those healin' waters.

I'm in such pain.

-(BACK CRACKING)
-(GROANING)

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

So, you want to see the hot spring?

Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

I'll show you the hot spring!

(SCREAMING)

(YELPS)

(EXCLAIMS)

-(CRACKING)
- Ow!

You get to see the spring, too, pooch.

(COURAGE SCREAMING)

Ow'.!

(SCREAMING)

(THUD)

(MURIEL GROANING)

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

GOAT: Feel better now?

There's your hot spring.

But where's the water?

Oh.

This place was once filled with water!

Ooph!

GOAT: It was goat paradise.

We called it Spa of Horns.

Once, goats came here
from miles around to relax,

get their beards and horns trimmed,

and bathe in the rejuvenating waters.

But then a human explorer
discovered us, and it wasn't long

until others of your species arrived,
using up all the precious healing water,

and throwing my brothers
and sisters off the mountain...

Until only I was left.

So, I started knocking trespassers away

with my horns, which grew and grew.

Oh, Mister Goat, I feel so sorry for you.

I'd try to help you get rid of that neck
ache if I wasn't in so much pain myself.

You think you're in pain?

I don't think you know
what the word means.

-(BOULDER FREEFALLING)
-(COURAGE SCREAMING)

(GROANING)

Ow'.!

So now you will know the years
of pain I have endured.

- Please, Mister Goat.
-(CRACKING)

We'll leave right now.

Ow'.!

-(CRASHING)
-(BOULDER FREEFALLING)

(SCREAMING)

From now on, my pain will be your pain.

(LAUGHING)

Oh, Courage, what are we going to do?

-(CRACKING)
-(GROANING)

(STRAINING)

(CRANKING)

(CREAKING)

(GROANING)

Oh, soon we'll be as flat as pancakes.

(STRAINING)

(THUD)

Phew.

Oh.

- Ooph;g

(THUD)

Oh, no!

(GROANING)

(sum-nus)

Courage, I never knew you
were this good at massage.

-(CRASHING)
- If you could only massage

-that goat, maybe he might...
-(BOULDER FREEFALLING)

- Oh!
'(THUD)

Oh!

You have been a bad dog!

Disobedience must be punished
with more boulders!

(LAUGHING)

-(CRASHING)
- Ow!

-(BOULDER FREEFALLING)
-(BOTH SCREAMING)

And my pain's completely gone!

(GOAT GROANING)

(GROANING)

I think Mister Goat could use
the full spa treatment.

Don't you, Courage?

Mmm-hmm.

(GOAT GROANING)

What?

What are you doing?

Oh.

Oh!

- The water is back!
-(NECK CRACKS)

(CRACKING)

Oh, my!

Oh, my, my, my. my. my!

(sum-nus)

You look like a million bucks!

I mean, goats!

I feel great!

(LAUGHING)

My Pain is gone!

I can't believe it!

Thank you!

Is this the legendary hot spring
that cures broken hearts?

Argh.

Oh, Courage.

It looks like things are
changing for the better.
