04x12 - Clockwise/Gromble Soup

[bunniefuu]

[ Clock chiming, thunderclap]

[ Creaking]

[ Owl hooting]

[ Shrieking]

[ Crying]

[ Gasps]

[ Screaming]

Stick it in salt, louie!

[ Needle scratching record]

[ Chuckles]

[ Clock ticking]

[ Panting]

[ Ticking]

[ Panting]

[ Ticking]

[ Panting]

[ Snorts]

Now, ickis!

[ Panting]

I'm sorry
I'm late again.

My clock broke
and I overslept.

You overslept.

[ Growling and snorting]

Now, class

We shall see how planning
and cooperation

Can lead
to a proper multi-monster scare.

[ Growling]

[ Screaming]

[ Growling]

[ Screams]

[ Screaming, growling]

[ Screaming]

Oh.

Ickis!

I forgot
what time it was.

Did I miss anything?

Ickis, snorch.

Hi, there.

I know,
I know I'm...

Late, you're always late.

Then you have
some ridiculous excuse.

You see, that's because...

Now you're giving me an excuse
for your excuses.

I have tried to be patient
with you, ickis.

And your chronic lateness

But you have gone too far.

I have no choice
but to give you this.

This is the clock of razhtark.

The clock
against which

All others
in monsterdom are set.

Oh, sir, I really don't deserve
such a nice gift.

It's not a gift,
it's a punishment.

You will wear this
around your neck

So you will know
what time it is.

And you will have no excuse
for ever being late.

Do you know
what will happen
if you are late?

No. [ Squeaking]

But I have a feeling
you're going to tell me.

You will spend
the rest of the time

Dirtying the floors
with a toothbrush.

[ Loud gulp]

Be there tomorrow...

On time.

Thanks for messing up
our scare today, ickis.

So, umm, can I still take you
to the sludge pitch tomorrow?

Forget it!

You'd probably be late anyway.

[ Crying]

Icky, I think we should
go to bed now.

We do not want to be late
for class tomorrow, do we?

Wewon't be late, oblina,
because wehave a clock.

So why don't youleave wealone?

Well!

We're going to class, ickis.

Are you coming?

Leave me alone, will you!

I have minutes yet.

I will be there.

Very well.

[ Snoring]

[ Screams]

I can make it.

I can make it!

[ Growling]

[ Belches]

Ickis!

[ Crying]

Oh, no, I'm late.

Oh, wait.

Maybe I'm not late

If my clock doesn't say I am.

Ah, master ickis,
right on time.

Huh?

In fact, I believe you're early.

Yes.
[ Giggles]

That's it-- I am early.

[ Laughing]

I'm early.

Ow!

Ickis, you clumsy nincompoop

Watch where
you're going.

Ah, master ickis,
right on time.

Ickis:
I can turn back time.

In fact, I believe you're early.

Why, yes, I am early,
you pitiful pus bucket.

[ Gasping]

How dare you address me
in such a manner!

You impertinent little...

Ah, master ickis,
right on time.

[ Snoring]

Class, who can tell me

Komgozz's ninth law
of projectile sludging?

What do you think
you're doing?

Give me that book back.

Aw, keep your shoes on,
slime breath.

Class, who can tell me

Komgozz's ninth law
of projectile sludging?

The velocity
of flying sludge

Is adversely proportional
to the gross volume
of slime present

In said sludge.

[ Gasps]
that's precisely correct.

Wonderful.

[ Belches]

Master ickis,
I must say I'm impressed.

You really
turned it around.

Oh, yes.

Well, it's easy
when you can control time.

What was that?

[ Giggles]

Master ickis,
I must say I'm impressed.

You really
turned it around.

Oh, well,
I owe it all to you, sir.

Keep up the good work.

Oh, thank you.

I intend to do just that.

[ Giggling]

Hello, dizzle.

How about the way
I answered that question?

Are you impressed now?

Ickis, if there's anything
I can't stand, it's a showoff.

Well, I can take care of that.

Hi, dizzle.

I really hope the gromble
liked my answer just now.

Oh, ickis, it was great.

I just wish
I knew how you do it.

Well, maybe I could tell you
all about it

Over a nice frosty
cold scum shake, hmm?

Yuck, I hate scum shakes.

Grubworms?

Yuck!

Phlegmonade?

Phlegmonade?
I love phlegmonade.

How did you know
it was my favorite?

Oh, just call it a lucky guess.

[ Laughs]

[ Laughing wildly]

Ickis, what on earth
are you doing?

Oh, I am celebrating

My striped friend.

As of today, I will never have
to do schoolwork again.

He's finally lost it.

Wrong!

I have found it.

I can turn back time.

Nonsense.

What'd you say?

Nonsense.

Nonsense.

Nonsense.

You've got to stop
repeating yourself, oblina.

I can turn back time.

How do you think
I got that great answer?

Well, I was wondering
that myself.

You mean,
you can really turn back time?

Yes, yes, yes.

We can do all the cool stuff
we ever wanted

And never get in trouble for it.

Let's go above ground
and have some fun.

B-b-but we have a test tomorrow.

Test, sheets.

We will never take another test
as long as we live.

I'll just keep
turning the clock back.

What could go wrong?

Well, you could destroy
the very fabric of time

Changing history forever

Creating widespread panic
on an unimaginable scale.

Or not.

Creme's right, ickis.

You cannot just fool around
with time.

There is no telling what
destruction you might cause.

Yeah, but i, but i...

Give me that clock.

I do not have to
put up with this!

[ Laughing wildly]

Ickis, what on earth
are you doing?

I was just leaving.

[ Laughing...]

[ Barking]

[ Cackling]

[ Screams]

[ Screams]
[ screams]

Oh, well, I guess I should check
on what the mortals are up to.

[ Humming]

Ickis!
Where have you been?

The gromble is getting everyone
together to search for you.

You are done for.

Silence, please.

Don't speak.

Everything is fine.

But, ickis, you're really late.

Correction.

I am right on time.

Search every tide pool, sludge
pool, slime pool and cesspool

In a ten-mile radius.

I want him found.

Here I am, pickles.

You have been absent from this
academy for over hours!

Hours,
minutes
and seconds.

But who's counting?

You pitiful passable.

How dare you insult
the honor of this academy!

It's time to rewind.

[ Voice rewinding]

[ Grunting]

[ Clock hand hits floor]

This is not good.

[ Nervous muttering]

[ Grumbles shouting...]

[ Screaming]

Got to fix this stupid clock.

I love phlegmonade.

I love phlegmonade.

[ Screams]

There, I think I got it.

[ All talking at once]

Destroy... Destroy...
Changing... Forever...

Widespread panic...
Unimaginable scale...

I didn't get it.

Or not.

Where have you been?

You cannot fool...

Crumb:
it's getting really late.

[ Screaming]

[ All talking at once]

[ Silence]

The gromble:
ickis!

Ickis!

[ Panting]

Ickis!

You're late.

I...

[ Gasping]

Yes, I am.

And what, pray tell, do you
intend to do about it?

Well, I am going...

To dirty the floors
with a toothbrush.

And enjoy it.

[ Wheezing and coughing]

[ Sneezing]

[ Gasping]

[ Coughing]

As you can see

I'm a bit under the weather.

But I'm not going to let
a little cold

[ Hacking]

Deprive you of your...

[ Sneezing]:
exams.

All this and exams, too.

She, can you not see
the gromble is not himself?

Gromble:
master ickis.

Would you please
distribute the exams?

[ Sneezing]

[ Blowing]

[ Groaning]

Class dismissed.

[ Students cheering]

[ All shouting, laughing]

[ Whooping, hollering]

[ Sweetly]:
students! Students!

[ Roaring]:
silence!

[ All gasping]

[ Sweetly]:
there, that's better.

For you misbehaving monsters
who don't know

My name is simper.

I'm the cook here
at the academy.

[ All groaning]

Year after year

I've stood
behind the garbage trays

Dodging your food fights,
cleaning your messes...

And listening to you complain
about the garbage I prepare.

Now, the gromble has left
mein charge.

And have I got plans for you!

[ Cackling]

[ Gasping]

[ Screaming]

[ Groaning, whining]

[ Liquid gurgling]

Uh, I do not think
I can take much more

Of this sickly sweet odor.

The sugar is making
my eyes water.

I wonder what simper's going to
do with this stuff?

Is something the matter
with your cupcakes?

Please, dig in.

If there's a problem

[ Shouts]:
go complain to the cook!

[ Laughs]

[ Gulps]

[ Gagging]

[ Thumps]

[ Crumb retching]

[ Teeth chattering]

He! Ooh!

[ Metal clanking]

Hooey!

Oh!

[ Shuddering]

[ Gagging]

Oh, pooch!

I know what you
must be thinking.

Today was a tasty delight.

Well, good.
[ All gagging]

Because tomorrow

Tomorrow is the
piece de resistance--

Chocolate truffles!

[ Laughing demonically]

We got to get
the gromble cured.

Fast!

Gromble:
I'm touched that you miss me.

But don't worry,
I'll be fine in a few days.

[ Coughing]

Or weeks.

Weeks?!

There must be something.

There used to be.

My dear old
grandmother's remedy.

She affectionately called it
"gromble soup"

But that was long ago.

The ingredients are
from medieval times

And impossible to find.

[ Snorts]

Now, if you don't mind...

Impossible?

Impossible.

A monster does not know

The meaning of the word
"impossible."

Gromble, sir, if there is
one thing you have taught us

It is that a monster
never gives up.

Never say die.

Never say die.

[ Thumps]

[ Snores]

All right, "mix
the following ingredients

Into a simmering
pot of sludge stock."

Ooh, skanky.

"One king's crown, the head of a
dragon and the tail of an ogre."

Oh, dear.

Well, let's not waste
any more time, shall we?

I will look for the king.

Krummy, you track down
the dragon.

Ickis, you find the ogre.

What's an ogre?

"A mean, nasty creature

Usually found
in the dungeon of castles."

Why do iget the ogre?

You want the dragon?

Oh.

Never say die, right?

Die, die, die.

No ogres or castles
in this town.

No dragons, either.

I give up.

Quitters!
Giver-uppers!

Can not do as... Go ahead.

Go, walk away.

But the answer
to our problems could be

Right around that corner.

Announcer:
stu simmons here

Live from pass football stadium

Where the middletown canaries

Take on the ardenville dragons.

Dragons?

This showdown sponsored by

Marty the mattress king.

Located at the corner
of cheatem and fleece

Across the street
from red castle hamburgers.

Marty the mattress king here.

You say you want to sleep
like a king?

You can break into
buckingham palace

Or come on down to marty's.

You like them firm?

We got 'em firm.

You like them soft?

Show them, augie.

[ Groaning]

[ Clatters]

Oh! Hey, joe!

There's a rat
in the machine.

That's okay,
rats are meat.

They are, aren't they?

Who are you calling a rat?

[ Ickis roars]

[ Screaming]

Agh! Wa-ha-ha-ha!

[ Screaming]

[ Mysterious humming]

The ogre.

And now, ladies and gentlemen

To keep our spirits high

How about a hand for
the dancing dragon?

[ Crowd cheering and booing]

Phew!

[ Humming]

Huh?

[ Crowd cheering]

[ Grunts]

[ Cackling...]

You'll feel like a king, too

Once you've slept on
one of marty's mattresses.

And cut!

[ Air hissing]

Show's over.

Let's move some mattresses.

Hey, where's my crown?

[ Snarling]

[ All screaming]

[ Glass breaking]

[ Tires squealing]

[ Gasping]

[ Humming]

[ Humming]

[ Gulps]

Ah! His tail!

[ Squealing]

[ Grunts]

I hear you.

[ Gasps, gulps]

I know you're here.

[ Gulps]

[ Screaming]

[ Teeth chattering]

[ Screaming]

[ Heart thumps]

[ Panting...]

[ Mouse squeaking]

Hey, herbert, where you been?

[ Squeaking]

Well, we cannot
very well make the soup

With only two ingredients.

Where is ickis?

[ Coughing]

It doesn't matter if...
[ Coughing]

It doesn't matter
if ickis returns with the tail.

You've taught me
a valuable lesson.

You never gave up.

When things looked impossible,
you tried harder.

[ Sneezes]

I'm proud of all of you.

Success.

Ickis, do you have
the ogre's tail?

Have it?

Need I remind you, a monster
never gives up.

Feast your eyes on this.

[ Sweetly]:
ickis...

That is a feather duster,
bunny boy!

That is right, stick woman!

A feather du... [ Gasps]

Feather duster?

[ Sighs]

Tough break, buddy.

But he was an ogre.

I mean, he was in
the dungeon of the castle

And everything.

Ickis.

[ Coughing]

An ogre is only sometimes
found...

[ Sneezing]

...in castles.

The main thing to remember is

That they are mean.

They're nasty...

There you are!

[ Sweetly]:
get your rancid little rumps

Into the cafeteria right away.

The trufflesare ready!

[ Fiendish laughter]

They're wretched creatures.

Excuse me, be right back.
Pardon me.

[ Simpah yelps]

Soup's on!

[ Slurping]

Look what you did

To my tail!

[ Squealing...]

[ Panting]

[ Squealing]

Enough!

I know what he did

And I will see

That he gets what he deserves.

And he deserves...

My thanks.

[ Growling]

[ Sighs]

[ Huffing]

Well, good to have
you back, grombie.

Now, if you'll excuse us

I don't think it's asking

Too much for the three of us

To have the rest of the day off.

Ooh, lovely.

Mm, yeah.

Not so fast!

You just had the day off

And now that I'm back
to my lovable, giddy self

I can't wait to get back
in the classroom

And teach, teach, teach.

And I trust you'll all be there.

All of a sudden those truffles
sound tasty.

[ Crowd cheering]

Man: go, dragon!

[ Punch]

Crowd: ole!
