Teddy: Wow, just look
at all this stuff.

That Gimmick sure does collect
a lot of different things.

What's this?

"Handy-Dandy--
Handy-- Hands.

Tie your own shoelaces
without bending over."

Hmm.
I wonder how it works.

[laughs]
It's a good thing Illiops
don't usually wear shoes.

"Anti-Glue.

Guaranteed not to
stick to anything."

Hey.

a*t*matic ball.

Boy, that Gimmick
thinks of everything.

Uh-oh.
[gasps]

Take cover, everyone.

Teddy, did you find
those baskets yet?

I'm getting kinda hu--

Hey, where'd ya go?

Teddy: I'm in here!

Whatcha doing in the closet?

Hiding from one
of Gimmick's inventions.

Is it okay
to come out now?

[gasps]

Huh?

What took you so long,
Teddy?

We've gotta get out
and pick those strawberries
before they're all gone.

Sorry, Grubby.

I guess
I got interested in some
of Gimmick's old inventions.

We don't need inventions
for berry picking.

These baskets'll
do just fine.

Uh, boys,
come up here a minute.

But, Gimmick, we were
just on our way to pick
some strawberries for lunch.

Yeah, and some things
just can't wait.

Well, [laughs] perhaps
you'd like to know

that I've
devised a method

for supplying
all the fruit we need

without having to,
uh, pick it.

You know something,
Teddy?

Sometimes I'm glad
Gimmick's a genius.

Be right up.

Hmm. Now let me see.

What is it, Gimmick?
Another new invention?

Uh, well, uh, not exactly.

More like a new idea,
I'd say.

Well, whatever it is,
if it means more eating
and less picking,

ya got my vote.

Grubby,
let Gimmick explain.

Sorry.

Anyway, as I was saying,

it occurred to me that if
we were to increase the mass
of this strawberry

using the reducing-
enlarging machine,

it would become, well,
uh, an enormous berry
that would last for days,

even, uh, weeks.

That's a wonderful idea,
Gimmick.

I'll say.
Have you tried it yet?

Uh, why, no.

I was waiting for you two

before I attempted
a proper demonstration.

Well, what are we
waiting for?

I'm hungry.

Indeed.

Well, here goes.

[laughs]
It worked!

It's really quite simple,
you see.

The formula "pi R squared"

allows us to predict
the surface area

of the enlarged article.

Uh, given the radius,
of course.

Did you say "pie"?

Uh, uh, yes.

At the same time volume
increases much faster
than the surface area,

so that--

Uh, Gimmick,
I think it's time
to turn off the machine.

Huh? Oh.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, my.

I see what you mean.

I suggest the best course
of action might be to--

Run maybe?

-Precisely!
-Whoa!

Teddy:
Get out of the way,
everyone!

I hope the door's
not "jammed,"

or we just
might get "berry'd."

Grubby, that strawberry's
right behind us.

Sorry. I thought maybe
you'd appreciate it

if I managed to "preserve"
a sense of humor
at a time like this.

All:
Whoa!

[screaming]

Hey, Gimmick,
maybe if that strawberry

was "squared" like you said
it was supposed to be

it wouldn't roll quite so much.

Uh, uh, yes, I suppose.

It would seem

that I forgot
to take into account

the inverse
law of increase.

And, uh, I seem to have
misplaced my, uh, glasses.

Ugh.

Grubby, Gimmick,
it's coming back!

Ta-da!

Whoa! Whoa!

Now, this
is most peculiar.

I'm sure
I was wearing them.

Gimmick, look out.

Whew.

Hmm.
That doesn't seem
quite right.

Watch out!

What did you say,
Teddy?

[gasps]

Huh?

Whew.

That was almost a very
"sticky" situation,

wouldn't you say?

Uh, yes.

Are you both all right?

Thank you, Teddy.

Uh, yes, I think so.

What happened
to the strawberry?

It went over that hill.

Well, don't worry.

We can enlarge
another one.

Uh, if you don't mind,
Gimmick,

I think we'll just pick 'em
by hand like we always do.

Now, let me see.
"Helpful Hints for Villains."

Ah, this is
an interesting section.

"One. Always wear black."

Hmm. I'll have to do
something about my wardrobe.

You could always
try selling it, Twees,

and then maybe
I might get paid.

Quiet, L.B.!
I'm trying to read.

"Two. Never ever
brush your teeth."

No problem there.

"Three. Whenever possible,
tell lies."

L.B., this is going
to be a breeze!

Hey, Twizzle, what's
that book called again?

You've got a memory
as long as your arms, L.B.

"So You Want
to Be a Villain."

I do?

No, no, no.
That's the title of the book,
you brainless Bounder.

Oh, right, boss.

So how long does
it take to become
a full-fledged villain?

Not long, L.B.

Not for someone with
a black heart, a nasty mind,

evil ideas, and a vicious
sense of humor.

And how long do you figure
it'll take you, Twick?

Oh, I'd say...

[laughs]

Look, you blot
on the landscape.

I'm trying to study.

My destiny
is to rule Grundo.

Yours is to haul the wagon.

Now, do it!

[groans]

[creaking]

Uh, don't look now,
Twits,

but I think destiny

is about to pay us a visit.

-Hey, Grubby. Look.
-Huh?

-Fobs.
-Hi, Teddy.

-Hi, Grubby.
-Hi, fellas.

-We're mad.
-Yeah, real mad.

-And angry. Angry too.
-Yeah.

Hmm.

What's wrong?

Hey, what happened
to your colors?

You're supposed to be
lit up like a rainbow.

Yeah, that's what
we're mad about.

We lost our color.

-Lost it completely.
-All of it.

Not me. I'm fine.

Well, you do look a little
duller than usual.

I do?
No, I don't. I'm fine.

Maybe you're just
getting a little old.

Old? We're not old.

-No, not a bit.
-I'm 3-- 3 and a half.

Yeah,
we're still young.

I'm four, and I'm fine.

This is serious after all.

Now I'm dull too.

Hey, Teddy, I have an idea.

L.B., why have you stopped?

Well, Twerp,
there's a giant red thing
up on the cliff above us.

I wonder
if we're related.

Listen to this, L.B.

There's a whole section here
on great villains in history.

And there's a giant
red thing up there.

There, that's better.

Now you're a nice
bright red again.

Atta boy, Grubby.
What a clever idea.

Hey, my turn.

-Yeah, me too.
-Me next.

Then me!

[laughter]

Yech!
This is too sticky.

It was better
when we were dull.

And we're starting
to draw flies.

Shoo! Shoo!

Huh?

I think we'll have to give this
some more thought, Grubby.

Yeah.

Move this wagon now,
you hopping mouth.

But, Tweep...

Just do it, L.B.,

or I'll
come down on you so fast
you won't know what hit you.

[laughs]

Whatever you say,
Tweezle.

And how many times
do I have to tell you, L.B.?

It's Tweeg!

T-W-E-E...

[laughs]

Now that's what I call
getting your just desserts.

[laughs]

Very funny, L.B.

I'll say.

That's the sweetest
you've ever looked.

[laughs]

Take me home at once,
you blithering balloon head.

Do you hear me?

[laughs]

No problem, Tweeg.

I just happen to know
a good strawberry shortcut.

[laughs]
Get it?

Strawberry shortcut?

[laughs]

-This stuff is too sticky.
-And yucky.

-Yeah,
it's sticky and yucky.
-I think it's gooey!

Yeah! It's sticky,
yucky, and gooey.

And yucky! Yeah!

Grubby, we have to find
a way to get the strawberry
juice off the Fobs.

Yeah, and help them
get their color back.

Maybe if we took them
to Rainbow Falls

we could at least
get them washed up.

Sounds like a...

[grunts]
...good idea.

But Rainbow Falls
is all dry.

Yeah,
it's gone dry.

-Dry for two weeks now.
-Yeah.

No water,
no falls.

Really?

-Yep.
-Uh-huh.

That's right.

Well,
let's go have a look.

Okay, but there's
no water there.

-Nope.
-Not a drop.

-See? Told ya.
-Not a drop.

I wonder.

Say, did you start
losing your color

at the same time
the falls dried up?

-Nope.
-Yes, we did.

-Yep, that's right.
-When the falls dried up.

That's when
it started.

-Two weeks ago, I think.
-The falls.

Grubby, that's it.

We'd better find out
what happened to Rainbow Falls.

Tweeg:
L.B., you talking tomato,

where are you?

Over here,
Tweek.

Where? You know
I can't see a thing.

Clean me up.
I hate being red!

And strawberries
give me a rash.

Sure thing, Tweez.
Now, look up.

Why?

'Cause I wanna make sure
I get behind your ears.

Aah!

[laughs]

Gee, Teddy, I've never
heard of Rainbow Falls
drying up before.

And I never heard of anyone
climbing up there either.

Neither have I, Grubby,

but we have to find out
what happened,

and this seems like
the only way.

[grunts]

You're stronger,
Grubby,

so you hold the vine
and lift me up.

Okey-dokey.

Are you ready?

-Hey, wait for me!
-Yeah, I'm coming too!

-Me too!
-Me, me, me!

All right, crew,
haul away the main mizzen.

Avast the hunga dunga.

Who are you talking to?

Ha ha! My feet.

-This is fun!
-Whoa!

So far so good, Grubby.

-Fob 1: Aw, no fun.
-Fob 2: Yahoo!

Fob: Yeah! Fun!

Gee, Teddy,
I don't know.

Just a little more
and we'll...

Fob: More! More! Great!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Fob: Mommy!

-Ugh, Grubby.
-Yeah, Teddy?

Maybe if you
give me your hand.

-Which one, Teddy?
-Grubby!

Okay, okay. Here I come.
Is that better?

Teddy?

Grubby, grab this end
of the vine

and lower us
with the other end.

-Like this?
-Right.

Yay! Our hero!

-I have an idea, Teddy.
-You do?

Whoa.
I'll bet the Wooly What's-It
could get up there.

Ooh. I wish we'd thought
of that sooner, Grubby.

Come on.

Say, Teddy, is the ground
movin', or am I?

I think it must be you.

Oh. Well, in that case...

whoa!

That's better.

[Wooly jabbering]

Well, sure I can climb
to the top of Rainbow Falls.

But I was about
to have a nap.

But Wooly,
you're big enough
to go without your nap

just this once,
aren't you?

Besides,
we need your help.

Well, okay.

I guess you need me more
than I need my nap.

-Hooray!
-Yippee!

Now let me see.
Where was I?

Ah, yes.

"The following tasks
must be completed

by apprentice
M.A.V.O. members.

One, get even
with somebody."

Hmm. Hmm.

Now who could I
get even with?

[laughs]

L.B., faithful servant
and sidekick,

I wonder if you might
do something for me.

What's that, Twipple?

Nothing really.

It's just that I left
my M.A.V.O. handbook
in the wagon.

No, you didn't.

Yes, I did.

Go and get it,
would you?

Hmmph.

Youch!

Why, you--! I oughta...

-[L.B. bounces]
-There's a good Bounder.

Good Bounder?

No such thing, Twicks.

No such thing.

Talk about lazy.

"L.B.,
do this, do that."

"So ya wanna
be a villain?"

Where is that
stupid book anyway?

Bet you Tweez
lost it somewhere.

Ah-ha! Outsmarted
you again, L.B.!

-Take that.
-Whatcha doin', Tweej?

[groans]
It must be stuck.

[groans]

If you're wondering why
the water isn't coming out,

it's because the tower's
empty already.

I know that,
you halfwit.

I was just...

[yelps]

...testing you.

Oh. Did I pass?

[laughs]

[groans]

Be careful, Wooly.

Grubby: Do you see
anything yet?

Hmm! I wonder
how that happened.

Gee, Teddy, I hope
he's all right.

Don't worry.

I'm sure Wooly
wouldn't try anything
too dangerous.

[grunting]

There!
That ought to do it.

What's this?

Hmm, very pretty.

-Fob 1: The falls are working!
-Fob 2: Hooray!

Hooray!
Oh, boy!

-Oh, boy!
-Yippee!

-Water!
-Water!

He did it.
The Wooly What's-It
has saved Rainbow Falls.

Atta boy, Wooly.

Wooly:
Hey, fellers!

Look out below!

Yippee!

My color's back!

I'm me again!
Yay!

Ya did a great job, Wooly.

Thanks, Wooly.

Aw, you're welcome,
fellers.

We're us again!

-Thanks, Wooly!
-Yeah, thanks!

-Thanks, Teddy.
-Thanks, Grubby.
