04x06 - Watch the Watch/She Likes Me?

[bunniefuu]

[ Clock chiming, thunderclap]

[ Creaking]

[ Owl hooting]

[ Shrieking]

[ Crying]

[ Gasps]

[ Screaming]

Do you know what time it is?!

[ Needle scratching record]

[ Chuckles]

Come on, baby.

Granny needs
a new pair of slippers!

[ Screeching]

All:
yeah!

And the wheel stops on red

And black ?!

What the...?

[ Chuckles gleefully]

[ Screaming]

Hey, oblina, want a chip?

No, I do not
want a chip.

We have to get
back to class now

And where is ickis?

I thought
he was with you.

Oh, do I have to do everything?

Come on, we must get him!

Ow!

I should have kept an eye
on that monster.

Man:
the world of hypnotism

Is a world of mystery.

But fear not.

The mysteries of the mind
are nothing to be afraid of.

I'll show him something
to be afraid of.

[ Chuckling]

[ Ickis squeals]

There's a whole mess of humans.

All I need is one brave soul

To volunteer to be my subject.

Eustace p. Tugwell
at your service, son.

I'll be your subject

Just as long
as it ain't geometry.

That's a joke, boy,
get it?

Geometry, subject--

That's a funny!

[ Guffaws loudly]

Okay, I can do it.

I can do it.

Here I go.

In ten...

Nine...

Eight...

Well, don't just
look at me

Like a half-baked
moon cow.

Commence to hypnotizing

Ifyou can, that is.

Why, I'd say that...

[ Gasps]

Three...

Two...

One-and-a-half...

My willing subject,
do you hear me?

Yes, I hear you.

Yes, I hear you.

Listen to me.

You are a chicken.

[ Imitating chicken clucking]

[ Audience applauds]

[ Both imitating chickens]

You are now an elephant.

[ Both imitating
elephants trumpeting]

[ Audience laughing]

You are a bear.

Oblina:
where is that monster?

Relax, oblina.

He'll show up.

When?

I am getting tired
of all his monkeying around.

[ Imitating monkey]

[ Audience cheering]

[ Ickis imitating monkey]

And now for my
greatest transformation

You are a human!

Well, I just can't
be hypnotized--

No way, no how, son.

"No way, no how, son."

You see,
you can't touch me, I'm...

You are a monster!

[ Growling]

[ Audience oohs and aahs]

[ Applause]

[ Snickering]

Ooh, look out, folks.

Here comes the big,
scary monster.

[ Growling]

[ Roaring]

[ Screaming]

[ Screams]

[ Screaming]

[ Growling]

I think we found him.

Yes, yes!

I did it, I did it!

[ Laughing gleefully]

Oh, hello there.

There you are!

We are late for class
and we are going home.

"Late for class?"

That's all you have to say

After the greatest scare
of the year?

I didn't see the scare,
did you, krumm?

Well, no, but they're
all running away

So it could have
been a good one.

"A good one?"
"A good one!"

It was great;
what is wrong with you?

How could we judge
a scare we did not see?

You're jealous,
that's all.

Oh, really, ickis.

You act as if no one else
in the whole world

Has ever scared a human.

[ Imitating cowboy]:
look at what we got here

A walking armpit and a stick.

Ickis!

Stop that.

A talking stick

Try and figure
that one out!

[ Guffaws]

Oh, that's a joke, son--

Stick, figure--
that's a funny!

[ Grunts]

Hey, ickis,
cut it out.

Yes, immediately.

You know, you are becoming
a very annoying monster.

Huh?

That wasn't funny,
you know.

What wasn't?

Oh, please,
I'm going to class

And, ickis, you should
be ashamed of yourself.

What did I do?

What did I do?!

"A talking stick"

Really!

I never said that.

My back hurts.

I don't know
what you are talking about.

Why won't you believe me?

Gromble:
I believe you, ickis.

I believe you are
disrupting my class!

[ Gulps]

I also believe

You'll be tossed out
of the class

Unless you show me a
particularly excellent scare...

...now.

[ Laughing nervously]

I would...
I would be so very glad to

Your grombosity.

[ Laughing nervously]

And, I pray,
for your sake

That this time you've managed
to scare more than just one

Pitiful human.

[ Imitating cowboy]:
you got some bad breath, son.

What did you swallow,
polecats?

Ickis...

Come back to this chair.

Sure thing, hoss.

Like I always say,
chair and chair alike.

[ Guffaws]

That's a joke, son,
get it?

Master ickis

You are trying
my patience severely

And that is one thing
you do notwant to do.

Is that perfectly clear?

Is that your nose

Or did a pickle factory
explode?

[ Growling]

Oblina:
doctor, there is something
very wrong with ickis.

Yes, I know, there's only so
much medical science can do.

No, no, no!

I mean really wrong!

He's been acting
just so strange lately

Not at all
like a normal monster.

[ Normal voice]:
hi, doc, good to see you.

Oh, yeah.

He's in really bad shape.

No!

Stop wasting my time.

[ Oblina sighs deeply]

And what was
all that about?

Oh, that doctor
is so stubborn.

Sometimes I think
he is part human.

[ Imitating cowboy]:
bust my buttons
and call me irene.

I like that doctor!

Krumm, grab him!

Well, howdy there, ma'am.

A tip of the hat to you!

[ Screams]

Hey there, partner!

[ Screams]

Ooh, hello, joe,
what do you know?

Just got back from kokomo.

[ Both scream]

Well, howdy, fellows.

How about a trim
of that old topiary, boys?

A little overgrown.

[ Screaming]

Where you going, boys?

Come on back here!

Ickis, this is
the last straw!

Are you trying
to get us all captured?

Who the sam hill
is this icky fellow

You keep yapping about?

He does not know
his own name.

This is really bad.

This is awful.

Getting the gromble angry
is bad enough

But walking down the street
in broad daylight

Could risk
exposing us all.

You two bushwhackers are going
to hear from my lawyer.

[ Muffled yelling]

Oh, this is
so terrible, krumm.

Something has
changed our icky.

Yeah, he hasn't
been the same

Since we came back
from that...

That castle place.

That's it!

Krumm, I have to go back there
to look for clues.

You keep ickis here.

It is the safest place for him.

Keep him out of harm's way
until I return.

I wish I knew
what happened to you, buddy.

Insulting the gromble

Walking down the street

You used to be
such a chicken.

[ Imitating chicken]

[ Clucking]

[ Whimpers]

[ Growls]

[ Screams]

[ Nervously]:
the world of hypnotism
is a world of mystery.

[ Doors flying open]

Woman:
you hold on there, hypno-boy!

Ever since you waved that watch

He's been acting like a monster.

A-ha!

[ Growling]

You ain't doing nothing

Till you change my eustace
back to normal.

Um, okay.

Um, I can...
I can do that.

[ Eustace growling and moaning]

Eustace,
watch the watch.

Listen to me carefully.

Your name is eustace.

You are a man.

You are not a monster.

No...

But I am.

[ Growls ferociously]

[ Screams]

[ Screaming]

[ Gargles]

[ Roars]

[ Growls]

[ Growling]

[ Everyone screaming]

[ Growls]

[ Screams]

[ Toilet flushes]

Krumm, I figured it out.

Ickis is not sick.

He has been...

[ Croaking like a frog]

Cow.

[ Mooing like a cow]

Canary.
[ Squawks]

Hyena.

[ Imitates hyena]

Duck.

[ Quacks]

Piggy.

[ Snorting]

Armadillo.

Are you finished?

I have got the thingy
that started this all.

We can change icky
back to normal now.

Okay, okay,
but just look at this one.

Fiddler crab.

I said stop that.

We are to change ickis
back to normal.

Can I just have
another half hour?

No, you most
certainly cannot.

Ickis, look at the thingy.

Now, listen to me carefully.

You are not a crab.

You are not
a loud-mouthed human.

You are a monster.

You are a sweet

Innocent

Panicky

Little you, ickis.

[ Normal voice]:
hi, oblina!

Is anything wrong?

Not anymore!

Oh, icky, you were gone

But now we have got you back.

You are ickis.

Uh-huh.

Oblina, are you okay?

Oh, everything
is fine, fine, fine.

Fine, fine, fine!

Everything's horrible.

I'm late for class,
I have to get three scares.

What am I going to do?

What's with him?

You would not believe me
if I tried to tell, come on.

Krumm:
I'm going to be snorched
for sure!

Why does this happen to me?!

I've always found
that girl monsters

Are very
complicated creatures.

[ Slurping]

They're not
complicated.

They just talk too much.

Then how do you know

If one of them likes you?

Well, dizzle
and her friends

Have just provided us
with the perfect example.

You see, if girls
pay attention to you

Chances are
they don't like you.

But if they ignore you,
then they probably do.

Hello!

All:
hi, oblina.

Here you are, krummy.

I cannot possibly finish
another bite of my dessert.

It is your favorite:
sour grubs in mold.

Mmm. Thanks, oblina.

Oh, you are welcome, krummy.

Toodle-oo!

Wow, krumm!

I never
would've guessed.

Oblina's one of the most
grotesque girls in school.

Poor slob,
he's done for.

[ Choking]

Huh? What are you guys
talking about?

[ Snickering]

It's as plain as

The sludge on your gums.

Oblina just gave you
her dessert.

So? She always does that.

That's because she has
a squish on you.

You said if they ignoreyou
they have a squish on you.

When did I say that?

A few minutes ago.

Don't you remember?

You said... Ooh.

What I said was,
they are very complicated.

You can't tell

How they feel about you.

Unless it's a case
like oblina and krumm

In which
it is absolutely clear.

Oh, come on, you guys!

Oblina's just our friend.

She doesn't have
a squish on krumm.

Yeah, she's just my friend.

[ Belching loudly]

Sure.

Yeah, you sly, stinky old creep.

Come on, krumm,
we got a scare to do.

Huh? Oh, yeah, right.

Hey, ickis, you don't think
it's true, do you?

[ Laughing hysterically...]

You and oblina!

You got to be kidding!

Of course not.

I mean,
no offense.

No, that's okay.

Um, you're right.

It is pretty silly.

[ Humming to himself]

[ Rubber duck quacks]

Quack-quack. There.

Oh, gosh, I love bath time.

[ Humming]

[ Sniffing]

[ Bellowing]

[ Screams]

[ Roaring]

[ Roaring]

[ Screaming]

[ Still screaming]

That was great.

Yes, it was!

Especially you, krummy.

Me?

The way you stayed so calm

With that human touching you--
ooh!

You were
very impressive.

[ Nervously]:
oh, yeah, thanks.

"Very impressive."

I wonder what she meant by that.

[ Flushing]

Oblina:
I just made the most

Wonderful discovery.

Wow, that is great!

What is it?

It is a new eye glass

For you, krumm.

[ Gulps]

For me?

But what about ickis?

Well, ickis does not need
an eye glass.

Do you like it?

Oh, yeah, it's great.

Hmm, thanks a lot.

You are welcome, krumm.

Time to go, boys.

The gromble is posting
a list

For tomorrow's
pair scare assignments.

Uh, you go ahead,
we'll catch up.

Well, alrighty.

I guess I will see you there.

Gosh, what
am I going to do?

I think oblina does have

A squish on me.

How could this happen?

Maybe it's because
you spend so much time together.

Maybe if you
avoid her for a while

This thing will blow over.

Yeah, good idea.

I'll just stay away from her.

Thanks, buddy.

Oh, krumm, I have
the most wonderful news.

You and I
have been teamed up

For the pair scare.

Is that not fabulous?

Uh, yeah, that's...
Really great.

Now, I think the first thing
we should do

Is go to the library together
and research our scare.

Uh, yeah, the library.
Together.

He can't.

Huh?

He promised to help me.

I did? Oh, yeah,
that's right, I did.

But, krummy, this is important.

[ Slurping]

How can I avoid oblina

If I have to work
on a pair scare with her?

[ Belching]
ask the gromble

To team you up
with someone else.

But then I would have
to tell him about the squish.

I could never do that.

Of course, you can.

I mean, you know
how the gromble is

But underneath all
that grombly horribleness

He's a very bon vivant,
charming, understanding monster.

[ Gromble laughing]

Oblina...
[ Cackling]

A squish...
[ Cackling]

Krumm! Ridiculous!

[ Laughing hysterically]

[ Laughter echoing]

Come on, krumm, you cannot
hide in there forever!

Not forever,
just until oblina graduates.

You just have
to tell oblina

You don't feel
the same way about her.

Dizzle will help you.

Well, thanks, dizzle.

But when you tell her

Remember to break it
to her very gently

On account of
oblina's sensitive...

She is not going
to tell her, youare!

She's just here
to help you get practice.

Dizzle will be
oblina, get it?

Oh, okay.

Okay, krumm, go ahead.

Okay, so dizzle is oblina

And, uh,
who are you going to be?

I'm me.
I'm just watching.

Oh, then I guess
I'll be me, too, okay?

Krumm, quit stalling!

Okay, here goes.

Now, I know
you have

A big squish on me,
and everything.

[ As oblina]:
yes, I most
certainly do.

Krumm:
well, you see

I just like being
your friend, you know?

And, i, uh, I guess

I don't have
a squish on you, okay?

Dizzle:
oh, no, krumm,
say it is not so.

Oh, poor dizzle.

What do I say? Poor krumm!

Well, I shan't disturb them

I'll just meet krummy later.

Without you, krumm

I have no reason to live.

Gosh, dizzle, I'm sorry,
I didn't mean

To hurt you.

Please, I was just acting.

Pretty good, huh?

Good-bye.
Glad I could help.

Yeah, thanks.

Hey, pal, don't
worry about that.

When you see oblina
at the pair scare

Just tell her
and get it over with.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

I can't keep putting it off...
Can i?

No, you cannot!

It is going to be fine!

I know you can do it!

Yeah, I hope so.

Hey, oblina, i, uh...

Oh, krumm, I am so glad
you're here.

You are?

Yes, I was not sure
you would show up

Considering [ whispering]:
the situation.

Oh, yeah, the sit...
The situation.

Um, that's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

Oh, krumm,
that is so sweet

But it is not necessary.

I know exactly how you feel.

You do?

Of course!

And I want you to know

That the way
you have handled this

Makes me realize

How lucky I am
to be here with you.

[ Laughs nervously]

But, but, oblina, i...

There are our scare targets!

We don't want them
to get away!

I should have stayed
in the freezer.

I love father-and-son time.

[ Screams]

[ Growls]

[ Bell ringing]

Oh!

Oh, krummy!

You were magnificent!

Yeah, so were you.

Oh, no!
Oblina, look, i, uh...

Stop hugging me!

[ Alarm bells ringing]

Krumm! What are you doing?

They will see you!

Krumm, what was
that all about?

You almost
got us captured!

I'm really sorry, but...

Look, I realize that
you are not used to the idea

Of a female monster having
strong feelings for you

But that is no excuse
for your behavior.

You're right, but,
it's just that...

In situations
like this

It is very
important

That you are able
to separate

Your personal life

From your professional one,
so...

I don't have a squish on you.

Now, I know
you have one on me

But, uh, the squish
I have is not on you.

I mean, I don't have a squish,
at all, on anyone.

It's um... Oh, boy,
I need more practice.

You think I have
a squish on you?

Well, yeah.

You're always
giving me stuff

And paying me
compliments

On account of girls
are very complicated

And that's what they do
when they have a squish on you.

Uh-huh. So you and dizzle
were just practicing

Because you thought i...

How perfectly absurd...

[ Guffaws]

I, I'm,
I'm sorry, krumm.

I do not mean
to laugh at you.

But I do those
things for you

Because you are
my friend.

That's just what friends
do for each other.

I guess I should
have known better.

Sorry, oblina.

Well, that's
all right, krummy.

Come on, let's
get out of here.

Friend.

Yeah, let's
go home, oblina.

Old buddy.

I'm glad we got that
straightened out.

But, that stuff about, you know

Having a squish on me?

It's not totally absurd, is it?

[ Both giggling]

Oh, krummy.

[ Both laughing heartily]

Oh, you silly,
silly boy.

Man:
[ humming]
oh, gosh, I love bath time.
