"No, duck tales"

"Ooh ooh"

Aah. Careful
with those things.

They're priceless.

Worthless,
I'd say.

Yeah. This stuff
is all cracked.

Have you forgotten
my lesson

On successful
importing?

No, uncle scrooge.

One man's junk...

Is another man's
antique.

Aah! Look where
you're going, you...

If it isn't my best
enemy... Scrooge mcduck.

Typical, traveling around
the world for a bargain.

It's like you
to try and steal it.

I've got better
things to do

Than steal your
worthless ideas.

Much better. Ha ha!

Whoa!

Sounds like glomgold's
up to something.

Before whatever
he's up to goes down.

[Clink clink clink]

Coins for
a hungry beggar?

Very sorry.

Ooh!
- Oof!

Sorry. Dijon
very clumsy.

It was all my...

What's your name?

Dijon.
- Dijon!

Keep away from me,

You sneaky
pickpocket.

Please. Dijon's
a changed man.

I've gone
into business.

I'm a professional
beggar.

Give the guy
a break.

Yeah. Give him
a quarter.

He's not getting
a cent from...

Me wallet's gone!

Oh, my. Where
did that come from?

Here it is!

Stop that thief!

He cannot have gone far.

[Hiss]

[Hiss]

Aah!

Don't let him escape!

How much?



Deal.

We lost him.

Get a good look
at those monks.

They're in the brotherhood
of the goose.

I love goose,

Especially with
gravy and stuffing.

He's not talking
about food, idiot.

He's talking
about dough.

Oh, I love dough.

I mean bread.

Oh! I love bread, too.

Not that kind.
The green kind.

You know... Cabbage.
Clams. Lettuce. Frog skins.

That's enough.
We got business.

Look at this.

It's the golden goose.

Ooh, what
a champ.

What a prize.

What a... A...
What is it?

It's the ultimate
treasure.

They say the
brotherhood's got it.

You're going to
get it for me!

Yes, sir,
mr. Glomgold.

But, um,
where is it?

There.

[Bong]

Is that a monk
or a chimp?

They confuse me.

Ahem.

Now, please,
you may all

Remove your cowls
and eat.

Please be removing
your cowl, brother.

No. I'm feeling
a draft.

Brother, please remove
the cold one's cowl.

Oh!

You're not a monk.

You mean this isn't
the ymca? Oh, my.

Do not bother showing
dijon the door.

Wait. Did you say
dijon?

Dijon? No,
I am not that criminal.

It is you!

No. I only look
like that crook

On the poster.

Are you not
recognizing me?

I am your humble
brother poupon.

Poupon!

I have not seen you
in years.

What are you doing here
dressed as a monk?

I was wanting
to be with you.

Dijon, you? I have wonderful
news, my brothers.

Dijon, the family
black sheep,

The one who
steals things,

Who cannot
be trusted,

Who...

They're getting
the picture.

He's returned
to the fold.

He wants to be a monk

And spend his life
in service to others.

Yay!

Yay!
- Yay! - Yay!

You were a good boy,
poupon,

And I was bad.

Don't think about
the past, dijon.

I have something
to show you.

This is what
we brothers

Have dedicated
our lives to.

You've gone
to much trouble

To protect
a rubber duckie.

This is no
ordinary bird.

This is
the golden goose.

It has magical properties.
You'll see.

Offer something
worthless...

Beside yourself,
that is.

Watch carefully.

With the magic word,

It can turn
anything to gold!

Can I be trying that,
poupon, please?

No. It's not something
to play with.

It must remain
atop these waters.

Uh, uh, uh.

Up here
in the temple,

We are having
no need for riches.

Of... Course... Not.

Every night,
a monk stays here

To assure the goose

Remains atop
the mystic waters.

This shall be
your first duty.

What if it falls off?

Ah, this
is the secret...

You put it back on.

Ah. I can do that.

Your shift will end
exactly...

Oh! My watch
is gone!

Uh, perhaps
you dropped it.

Remember, dijon...

Here's your chance
to make good.

Do not be blowing it.

Protect the golden goose
at all costs.

I'm counting
on you.

Don't worry.
No one will touch it.

See? You are safe
with dijon.

I'm supposing it wouldn't
hurt to try it once.

Gold.

Ah, it worked!

Now dijon must
put it back.

Hmm. If it didn't hurt
to try it once,

I'm supposing it couldn't
hurt to try it twice.

Gold!

Careful, dijon. Remember
what you promised poupon.

Wait! You promised
no one would touch it,

And no one will if dijon
borrows it tonight

So he can turn
some big things into gold.

Excuse me. I must be
making a phone call.

And we must be making
sure you're making sure

The golden goose
stays on the fountain.

There's the temple.

We got work to do.

[Quack quack quack]

[Quack quack quack]

This is like taking
candy from a baby.

What candy? Where?
I'll take it.

If those are the babies,

They can keep
the candy.

Come back here.

We need another
distraction.

Burger, you know
what to do.

Isn't this a lovely
temple, my sweet begonia?

It sure is,
burger.

Oh. Ahem.

I mean,
yes, burgie-wurgie.

Hey!

That's no way
to treat a tourist.

Burgie-wurgie, help!

Let my ugly wife go!

Let me go!

Pick on somebody
your own size!

This is dijon's
big chance.

Ooh, what
a pretty picture.

Kansas doesn't have
sights like this.

Do not be
forgetting me.

Thank you so much!

We're not telling friends
about this place.

What do we do now,
bigtime?

Hmm. I think
we follow him.

Tonight I'll make
a fortune in gold.

Tomorrow, I bring
the goose back,

And no one's
being the wiser,

Not even poupon.

Oh, poor poupon.

Dijon, how could you
do this to your brother

After he trusted you?

On the other hand,
I'm only borrowing it.

No. You must be
taking it back.

After you make the gold.

No!

Yes.

No!

Yes!

Stop!

You are fooling

No one but yourself,
dijon.

It is wrong.

Take it back,
and that is final. Huh?

Give me that.

What?

That.

Oh, that. Whatever
you be saying.

Don't just stand there!
Get that bird!

Ooh, a wild goose chase!
My favorite.


Toothbrushes.

Check.

Ow!

Check!

Four dozen
cracked vases.

Check.

He's around here
somewhere.

Up there!

Aah!
- Whoa! - Yeow!

Uh-oh.
It is mr. Scrooge.

Let's get him!

Ooh!

I got it!

Last one,
uncle scrooge.


Check.

All packed,
uncle scrooge.

I couldn't have done it without you.
You're priceless.

Let's shove off.

These goods must get
to duckburg

Before my new store
opens.

Look! Scrooge mcduck
has got our goose!

When glomgold finds out,

He'll grind us
into goose liver.

Oh, boy.
When do we eat?

Aah!

What will I tell poupon?

Perhaps dijon will send
a letter of apology.

From mexico.

Perhaps not!

Uncle scrooge's department store
is doing great business.

That junk we brought
from overseas

Is selling
like hotcakes.

I didn't find this on
the inventory sheets.

How much do you
want for it?

I didn't buy
this thing in bangladesh.

It's too light
to be real gold.

Ask $5.00.

Hey! There's something
familiar about that guy.

Did you see that? He
just stole something.

Now I recognize him!
It's burger beagle.

Let's get him!

[Whistle blows]

Yikes!

Ouch!

Good work, lads.

Don't know what
I'd do without you.

What was he
trying to steal?

This.

With the valuable
merchandise in my store,

What would he want
with this worthless thing?

Better raise
the price to $100.

You were supposed to
buy it, not steal it.

Sorry. Old habits
are hard to break.

I'll go back
and buy it.

No! If you want
something done right,

You do it
yourself.

Let's keep
our eyes peeled

For anyone who looks
like a thief.

There's the biggest
thief of all!

That'll be 100...

That item's
just gone on sale.

It's now $1,000.

Prices are supposed to
go down for a sale.

The price includes a
money-back guarantee.

Oh, very well.

Here's your money.
The sale just ended.

It's back to $100.

Nope. It's $10,000.

What kind of crazy
store is this? Here!

Sorry.
It's already sold.

To who?

To me.

No! I bought it
fair and square.

I wouldn't have paid
a dollar for this,

But now I wouldn't
sell it for a million.

I'm going to have
to teach mcduck

A lesson in
customer relations.

Ah...

Ah...

Aha!

Just as I expected.

What is it?

It's absolutely, positively
totally... Confusing.

It looks like real gold,

Only it's
magically light.

Why would glomgold be
willing to pay so much?

I'd like to know.

One thing's for sure.

He's not buying it
for its looks.

Maybe you
should have sold it.

You've got a good
head for profit,

But this bird could be
worth its weight in gold.

Wow! Did you see that?

It turned
into gold!

That's a miracle!

But why is it
not happening again?

Maybe it's
a broken miracle.

Abracadabra!

Hocus pocus!

Ach! Why won't it turn
anything else to gold?

That's it!

How does it work?

All I have to do is say
the magic word, "gold."

Gold!

Gold, gold, gold!

Gold, gold, gold, gold!

Gold, gold, gold, gold!

Gold, gold, gold, gold!

Gold, gold, gold!
I'm rich, rich, rich!

Scrooge has discovered
the goose's secret.

Perhaps, but tonight
that goose will be mine,

And scrooge's goose
will be cooked.

I've got to get these groceries
put away before dinnertime.

I wonder
when mr. Mcduck

Installed this
yellow driveway?

Good heavens!

Duckworth, look!

The whole house is gold!

Mr. Mcduck,
what are you doing?

Mowing a fortune.

The grass may be greener
on the other side,

But on my side,
it's 24-karat gold!

I always wanted to be a
golden glove winner.

Whoa!

Why the glum face,
webby?

All the flowers don't smell
anymore, uncle scrooge.

But a rose
by any other name

Isn't worth $5,000.

You're going to get all
worked up at this rate.

I do feel a bit strange.

Why, I've got goosebumps.
Golden goosebumps!

Ha ha ha!

My brother agreed to
make up for his misdeed

By flying with me
to duckworth

To retrieve
the golden goose.

Poupon
should go alone.

Mr. Scrooge isn't
thinking highly of me.

Your bad habits
caused trouble.

If we aren't placing the
goose back within two days,

It could be the end
of the world!

That could be
a problem.

We will need
mystical water

In case the goose
begins transformations.

Transformations?
What transformations?

There is no time
for explaining.

Our plane is
about to... My watch!

Dijon!

Dijon
cannot help it.

His mind says no, but
his hand says yes.

Not so hard! Dijon's ears
stayed noncommittal.

Uncle scrooge took the easy
out of the easy chair.

And golden slippers sure
aren't as comfortable

As they sound
in the fairy tales.

Dinner's ready
in five minutes.

Great! I'm starved.

What are we
having?

I'm afraid it's
golden fried chicken.

Yuck.

I lost my appetite.

Gold!

A picture may be worth
a thousand words,

But my books are now
worth a million bucks.

Your golden touch
is out of hand.

You're ruining
our home.

Don't be a grump.

We can buy a new home
with our golden garbage.

Won't you
please stop?

What if you accidentally
turned one of us into gold?

Or even yourself!

There's nothing
to worry about.

Uncle scrooge is
in complete control.

Ah, what
a beautiful world!

Everything is gold.

Aah!

Talking in me sleep
can be dangerous.

I've cut open
safes before,

But this is
the first time

I torched my way
through someone's door.

Shh!

Don't worry. I ain't
going to say a word.

Give that back,
you golden goosenappers!

Hey, put me down!

I can't hold him
much longer.

Gold!

Ow! What
are you doing?

What was that?

It came from
uncle scrooge's room.

It's the beagle boys!

They've got
uncle scrooge's goose.

Give it back!

Whatever you say,
twerps.

Gold, gold, gold!

Now scrooge will really
appreciate you brats.

After all,
you're priceless.
