01x35 - Scrooge's Pet

[bunniefuu]

Life is like a hurricane

Here in Duckburg

Racecars, lasers, aeroplanes

It's a duck blur

Might solve a mystery

Or rewrite history

DuckTales
Ooh-ooh

Every day they're out there making

DuckTales
Ooh-ooh

Tales of derring-do
bad and good luck tales

D-D-D-Danger!
Watch behind you

There's a stranger out to find you

What to do?
Just grab on to some DuckTales

Ooh-ooh

Every day they're out there making

DuckTales
Ooh-ooh

Tales of derring-do
bad and good luck tales

Ooh-ooh

Not ponytails or cottontails, no

DuckTales
Ooh-ooh

Calling all fishermen!
Calling all fishermen!

Uh, and fisher-ladies!

What did you bring for bait, matey?

Grilled-cheese-and-pickle sandwiches.

Heh-heh. Good one, mate.

We caught one already.

Uh, I just wanted to see
if this bait really works.

Oh, it does.

What a perfect day.

I hope Uncle Scrooge
is enjoying it.

Can't you work any faster, lads?

Rome wasn't built in a day, sir.

Well, it would have been if Scrooge
McDuck was paying by the hour.

Hey, Uncle Scrooge!

Wanna go fishing?

I'm sorry, kids,

but the workmen are putting in
a new combination lock on my money bin.

And I have to make sure
my money gets its money's worth.

Aw.

- All right, Uncle Scrooge.
- Enjoy yourself.

I will.

Can't you work any faster?

I sure wish Uncle Scrooge wouldn't worry
so much about his money.

I got one! I got one!

Ohh.

Now another one!

Gee, there must be a lot
of barefoot sailors around.

I can't help wishing
Uncle Scrooge was here.

Yeah.

He'd probably open a shoe store.

Avast, you scurvy seadogs,
or you'll walk the plank!

Don't be scared, mateys. It's only me pet
Salty, runnin' off at the beak.

Have you hugged your parrot today?

Ah, there's nothing like a pet to help you
unwind after a hard day peeling potatoes.

Polly wants a halibut.

Hey, that's what Uncle Scrooge needs!

A halibut?

No, a pet. If he had one,
he'd spend more time having fun

and less time worrying about his money.

Yeah!

Good idea, Webby!

Yep, a pet is the answer
to Uncle Scrooge's problems.

Barnacle Biff that pet of yours
causes nothing but problems.

Now, get rid of him before we shove off.

But, Captain Frye...

No buts!

He's a pest...

And he eats too much!

There ain't room on this ship or in
this ship's galley for the both of us!

Don't worry, Lucky.
I'll find you a good home somewhere.



Aw!

What kind of a pet can we buy
for 25 cents?

A pet ice cream cone?

Maybe I can help you, mates.

If it's a pet you want,
perhaps the answer is under me hat.

Gee, what a cute little, uh, rat.

Rat?

Oh, he's not a rat, mates.
He's a lemming, name of Lucky.

And he's all yours
if you give him a good home.

How about a good mansion?

Even better.

Huh... He's friendly and small.

Does he eat a lot?

Well, uh, he, uh...

No more than any other lemming.

But he's especially partial to cheese.

Oh, and he's smart -
smarter than the average lemming.

What do you get for the uncle
who has everything?

A lemming
who juggles, of course.

Now, why didn't we think of this before?

Eh.

Well, Mr. McDuck, your fortune is secure.

Good job, men! And no overtime.

Ha-ha-ha!

I haven't been this happy since I got
a free dry with my wash at the Laundromat.

This is the only copy of the combination,
so be sure to put it in a safe place.

I know just where to keep it.

Look after it, Goldie, darling.
I'll memorize it right after lunch.

Uncle Scrooge! Uncle Scrooge!

We got a surprise for you.

Oh? What is it?

- A wallet warmer?
- Mm-mm.

- A piggy bank polish?
- No.

It's a lemming.

A lemming? Ugh...

I don't know what to say, kids.

Except, why?

- We thought it'd make a good pet.
- Yeah. His name is Lucky.

Lucky, eh? I'll say he's lucky.

He's eating my cheese sandwich.

This is people food, not pet food, Lucky.

Hey!

Come back here!

I'll save you, Goldie.

Don't worry, Uncle Scrooge.
You'll learn to like each other.

Loch Ness monsters!
Where's Goldie's locket?

Ah, don't worry, Uncle Scrooge.
Lucky has it around his neck.

What? Give me that locket, you rascal!

Egad!

The only combination to my vault is
in that locket!

- Is that bad?
- Bad? Bad?

I haven't memorized it yet!
I'll never see my money again!

I'll be a poor, poor old duck,
and all because I...

got Lucky.

We should have given him the shoes.

- There he is!
- He's running onto that ship!

That lemming has shanghaied my locket.

Stop! Wait! Put on the brakes!

Too late, Uncle Scrooge!

Aw, this time we really missed the boat.

You, swabbies,
where is that ship bound for?

Why should we tell you, you landlubber?

Now, listen here, you.

Let me try, Uncle Scrooge.

The Moony Gull's a fishing schooner.
She's headed for Novay, in Scandinavia.

What did you say to them?

I just promised them
all the shoes they can use.

Now we can go into town and go dancing.

- Are we gonna go after it, Uncle Scrooge?
- Of course.

And by the fastest means possible.

What's the name of this place
where we're going?

Novay, on the tip of Scandinavia.

Do you think you can find the way
to Novay?

No sweat, Mr. McD. I have as much
confidence in me as you do.

Uh-oh.

Launchpad, how are we fixed for gas?

No sweat, Mr. McD.
We'll stop along the way.

We're over the ocean!

Guess we will stop along the way.

- You see that?
- Ja.

If I didn't know better,

I'd say that was an ocean-going
chopper-copter about to crash into the sea.

Yeah, I didn't know better.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

- Where are we?
- In Novay.

See? I told you I'd find the way.

Ship ahoy!
It's the Moony Gull coming into port.

We're just in time.
Good work, Launchpad, my boy.

Captain, ooh, Captain!

Have you by any chance
seen an unlucky lemming named Lucky?

That gluttonous lemming?

On my ship?

Barnacle Biff!

Have you got anything resembling a pet
onboard this vessel?

Uh, well, I, uh...

I tried to get rid of him, but, uh...

There he is!

Get him!

He's going below decks!

There he goes!

He's heading for the cargo hold.

Yech!

- And this started out to be just a good day.
- Ugh.

None of this would have happened
if we hadn't gone fishing.

Looks like it was a good day for it.

There he goes! After him!

- Did you see him?
- Yes, Uncle Scrooge?

Get him!

I'll handle it, Mr. McD.

Aha!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Whoa! Whoa! Yow!

Whoa!

If you want a job done,
you've got to do it yourself.

Especially if you want the job done
by Launchpad.

Ha! Try to run now, you little rapscallion!

I'm getting dizzy. I've got to sit down.

Ooh!

Ever notice whenever you're in trouble,
I'm always around?

Yes.

Lemming overboard!

Your hat's way too big for his little head.

Lucky! Lucky!

Here, Lucky!

Pardon me, sir. Have you seen a lemming
wearing a locket?

Nope. Our lemmings don't wear jewelry -
just fur coats.

Wow! This would make a great
grilled cheese sandwich.

Take it! I'm getting out of here.

Looks like the little squirt
abandoned hat.

Is it raining? Ha-ha-ha.

Is it raining? Ha-ha-ha.

No.

So now's a good time to dry up.

Look, Uncle Scrooge!

Kids, have you seen any sign of...

Out of my way, tourists!

Why in the name of Brigadoon
is everyone leaving town?

The lemmings are coming!
The lemmings are coming!

Correction, folks: One lemming is coming.

He's a pushy little guy,
into jewelry, traveling alone...

Lucky isn't alone anymore!

The lemmings are coming!
The lemmings are coming!

The lemmings are coming!

What do we do, Uncle Scrooge?

What all brave ducks do
when outnumbered, kids.

Hightail it out of here!

My solution is slightly different.

Run!

Those lemmings won't get our cheese now,
no matter how hard they try.

Ow!

Come on, kids! Up here!

Whew!

- We're safe.
- For the moment.

Uh-oh!

That moment has passed.

- We're gonna crash!
- You should be used to it by now.

Lucky... Have any of you seen Lucky?

Mister! Oh, Mister!
What's going on here?

The lemmings are coming!
The lemmings...

We noticed. But why?

Every year, the lemmings come
from far and wide,

gobbling everything in sight
on their way to the sea.

And when they get there?

They dive into the ocean and swim away,
never to return.

Ohh...

If I don't find Lucky in this crowd,
I'll never see my money again.

Why? Why did you get me a pet
in the first place?

Uh, to keep you from worrying
about your money.

Ohh.

Oh, well. It's the thought that counts.

This is our fault, Uncle Scrooge.

Yeah, and we're gonna stop
those lemmings

and find Lucky if it's the last thing we do!

Right, Launchpad?

I'm thinking, I'm thinking.

Ja!

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye!

Will you brave Novagians
help us find our pet lemming?

No vay!

Well, OK.

Don't worry, kids. I have an idea.

If those lemmings
wanna jump into the ocean,

we'll just have to fight water with water.

Let her rip!

As usual, Launchpad McQuack is
on top of the situation.

This time, the situation is on top of you!

Surf's up!

Maybe we can scare 'em away
from the sea.

Ah, they just think
these masks are funny.

Oh, all right, all right.
Help! Help!

Quackarooni!

Uncle Scrooge is really getting
carried away!

Help!

Never fear - Launchpad McQuack is here!

Help! Help!

Yeow!

We'll save you, Uncle Scrooge!

Uh... by the skin of your teeth.

Luck is gone. The locket is gone!
I'll never see my money again!

It could be worse, Mr. McD.
You still got me.

Luckily, I work for you, so you'll probably
see me every day for the rest of your life.

We thought a pet would make you happy,
Uncle Scrooge.

Boy, were we wrong.

It's not your fault, kids.

Sometimes even the most thoughtful deeds
don't turn out the way we plan.

You're tellin' me.

One time, a friend of mine was sick, so
surprised him with a big breakfast in bed

and spilled it all over him.

That was me.

You remembered.

Eh, come on, kids. Might as well go home.

Maybe a big hunk of cheese
will cheer you up, Uncle Scrooge.

Cheese? Ech!

Cheese reminds me of le... le... le...

I believe "lemmings" is the word
you're looking for, Mr. McD.

Uncle Scrooge, Uncle Scrooge!

We know you're gonna like this cheese.

It's got a surprise inside.
Hold out your hand.

My locket! But how?

Lucky!

Like Barnacle Biff said,
he's a smart little lemming.

The only one smart enough
to build a ladder to the cheese.

More cheese, Lucky?

It's so nice to be home with the ones I love.

One million one...

one million two...

- One million...
- Surprise, Uncle Scrooge!

We got you a new pet.

Not another lemming.

No. Lucky and his relatives
are much happier back in Novay.

Now, this is a pet that's really me.

A goldfish!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
