[Scary laughter]

Greetings, scary safari

Lovers.

You're just in time.

We're on the trail

Of the gorilla's paw...

A treacherous trophy you'd

Have to be bananas to pass up.

They say it makes wishes come

True.

But it's nothing to monkey

Around with.

If you're expecting a chimp

Off the old block, beware.

It may not be the gorilla

Your dreams.

So now, on to tonight's nail

Biter... A handy little tale

I call "the gorilla's paw."

Heh-heh-heh-heh!

Waa-hoo!

Meow... Meow.

Come on, guys.

When are you gonna let me

In the club?

Just get the ball, lewis.

Aw, come on, kenny.

Whoops.

I think lewis needs to be

Reminded who we are.

Kenny "kingpin" seldon.

Chuck "rockman" norum.

Billy "kool kid" knoll.

Got that, lewis?

Yah-yah-yah!

I know, but I could be... Uh,

Uh... Lewis... Um...

Lewis lame-o?

Lewis the loner?

Lewis the loser?

Get the ball, lewis.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

We stick together.

Forever to the end.

Ready to go down fighting.

Friends defending friends.

Ha-ha-ha...

Come on, guys, just let me

Be part of the club.

I'll think up a good name.

The ball, lewis?

Gee, guys, it ain't fair.

I mean, I chase ba*ls for you,

Lug your backpacks, give

You my lunches.

And don't forget, lewis,

No one, but no one...

Noogies like you!

Aw, come on, kingpin.

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Kool kid!

I got it!

I got it!

I... Aaahhh...

Helppp...

Whoaaa...

Whoaaa!

Ooof!

You see, lewis, we're

The kinda guys that when

We see something we want,

We take it.

We want an ice cream, heck,

We take the whole cart, right,

Kool kid?

Brrrrrr...

Who's gonna stop us?

Uh... And... Sometimes we even

Give 'em back.

If we want.

Got that, lewis?

Lewis?

Wow!

Look at all this neat stuff.

You'd have to have rocks

In your head to go in there.

Yeah!

Lovely, isn't it?

A curious item, definitely one

Of a kind.

The gorilla's paw, taken

From an ancient idol.

Neat!

More than neat.

Legend has it that

The gorilla's paw grants

The wishes of whoever

Possesses it.

Wow, just like aladdin's

Lamp!

Hey, where'd he go?

Ya think this wish stuff's

For real?

If it was, I'd wish

We didn't have school

Tomorrow.

Lame.

Who care's about school?

Give me a ton of money.

Real original, kool kid.

Me?

I'd wish for a crack at being

On "gruesome gladiators."

That is the coolest game show

On t.v.

Oh, gee, I'd wish... I'd

Wish... I'd wish I was

A member of the club.

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Tell ya what, lewis.

You grab that paw, and you're

In.

You mean it?

A full-fledged member,

Lewis.

Yeah, equals.

Ha-ha-ha-ha... Huh?

Aaaaaah!

Heh-heh-heh-heh!

I don't believe it!

Ya did it, lewis!

Ya pulled it off!

So now I'm a member?

Nah.

What?

Looking at it now, it

Wasn't worth grabbin'.

But you said if i...

But you said... Wait!

The wishes.

The paw grants wishes, the guy

Said.

I'll wish for anything.

Whatever you want.

Grow up, lewis.

No, maybe it really works!

I wish... I wish kool kid had

A ton of money.

[Gasp!]

Hey, look!

A five dollar bill!

See?

See, it works!

Gee, a whole five dollars.

Thanks.

With all this money, I could

Probably buy one and a half

Comic books.

Aw, come on, guys.

Guys, wait up!

Just give me another chance,

Guys.

Rockman, I wish there was

No school tomorrow.

Listen, lewis, one

Of the reasons you're not

A full member is ya got

No imagination.

To be in this club, you gotta

Think big.

Wish for something big, lewis.

Wish for... The moon!

I wish for the moon!

Am I in?

No, you're not in, lewis.

You're hopeless.

Totally clueless.

Ah-ha-ha... Yeah.

Hey, what did I do?

While you figure it out,

We're gonna go grab some

Munchies.

I'm buying.

Yes!

Sorry, lewis, members only.

See ya around... Loser!

Ha-ha-ha-ha...

[Alarm clock sounding]

The alarm!

I'll be late for school!

Ouch!

Aaahhh!

[Telephone ringing]

It's for you, lewis.

No time!

Late for school!

It's kenny seldon.

It's kingpin, mom.

Kingpin's calling me?

Hello... Kingpin?

Hey, lewis, you'll never

Guess what.

School's shut down for the day.

You mean I got up

For nothing?

[Gasp!]

The wish!

You got it.

Maybe that paw of yours does

Work.

What do ya say we put it

To a little test?

Meet us in the school yard

In ten minutes.

Ten minutes?

Gee, I don't know if I can

Make it.

I just woke up and, uh...

Eight minutes.

[Click]

Lewis?

Hello... Lewis?

[Pant, pant, pant].

Lewis, what kept you?

[Pant, pant].

Knock it off.

Did you bring the gorilla's

Paw?

What's the big idea?

You gotta promise... If it

Works, you gotta let me

Into... The club.

No way!

Forget it!

Okay.

Huh?

No tricks.

No tricks.

Okay.

Okay, lewis.

Now, there's big, and there's

Big.

Let's start with big,

As in big screen t.v.

I wish for a big screen

T.v. For kingpin.

I don't believe it!

It worked!

[Gasp!]

Have learned that

Coast-wide tidal waves

And devastating earthquakes

Are sweeping the country.

Reports of destruction

And mayhem continue to come

In from around the globe.

And now, it's time for...

Wow, there it is, kingpin!

Your favourite show!

The game show where

Our contestants challenge

Our own gruesome ghoulies.

What did ya do that for,

Kingpin?

Yeah?

That was big.

Now let's try big!

You want me to wish

You on the show, kingpin?

I wish the "gruesome"

"Gladiators" show would come

Here.

Wow!

Now that's big!

Yeah, mega big!

You're in, lewis.

Huh?

I said you're in.

You're a member.

I'm in the club?

I'm in the club?

I'm in the club!

I'm in the club!

We stick together!

Forever to the end!

Ready to go down fighting!

Friends defending friends!

All right, guys, it's show

Time.

Let's go!

I'm in the club!

It's confirmed, sir.

Lunar trajectory indicates

The moon is on a collision

Course with earth.

Point of impact?

Gravenhurst, california.

A monster globe.

It'll try and run us down.

But it's okay, it's padded

Plastic.

All right!

Yeah!

Neat!

Spread out.

It'll make us a tougher

Target.

Grrrrrr!

Don't sweat it, rockman.

It's only tennis ba*ls.

Come on!

Can't catch me, yeah!

Huh... What's that stuff?

Whatever it is, it reeks!

Uhhh!

Take cover!

Grrrrrr!

What's with this stuff?

Kool kid!

This ain't a game.

Whoaaa!

Grrrrrr!

Hey, lewis, watch this!

Okay, gruesome, bath time!

Grrrrrr...

Wow, I don't remember sound

Effects like that.

Ah, kingpin.

Not now, lewis.

Kingpin.

Lewis, not now!

Kingpin!

What?

Do you remember that?

What?

Look out!

Take it easy!

It's just a game!

Grrrrrr!

Uhhh!

Aaahhh!

This is for real!

Grrrrrr!

Whoa!

Whoa... Aah...

Grrrrrr!

Whoaaa!

Aaaaaah!

[Gasps!]

Grrrrrr!

Aaahhh!

I-i-i-i'm too scared

To move.

Come on, you can do it.

We stick together, remember?

Ughh!

Buddies to the end!

Then do something, buddy!

Make it go away!

I wish these gruesome

Gladiators would all go away!

Helppp!

Aaahhh!

Nothing happened.

The wish didn't work.

I guess once you wish

Something with this thing,

You can't unwish it.

Helppp!

Hey, this thing can't hold

Four of us.

Then leave!

Yeah!

Aaahhh!

We were here first.

Make like trees, and leaf!

I'm warning ya!

Warn all ya want.

We're not going anywhere.

Whoaaa!

Do it, lewis.

Make them leave.

Now!

I wish kool kid and rockman

Would make like trees

And leaf!

Aaahhh!

Whoaaa!

Aaahhh!

[Gasps!]

[Gasp!]

Well, we gotta do something,

Kingpin.

Wish us outta here, lewis.

But... The guys!

It's too late.

Do it now!

I wish... Me and kingpin

Were... In my house!

Ha-ha-ha-ha...

And mayhem continue

To come in from around

The globe, as earthquakes

And tidal waves continue

To rock the earth due

To the unexplainable shift

In the lunar orbit.

How are we gonna help kool

Kid and rockman?

I can't wish them back

To normal.

They should've backed off

The platform like I told 'em.

But, kingpin...

The shopkeeper!

Huh?

It's his paw.

He must know the answer.

I wish the owner of the paw

Would appear here... Now!

[Knocking]

The shopkeeper! He's here!

It's not coming

From the door, lewis.

It's coming from...

Grrrrrr!

You said the owner, lewis!

Look at its arm!

Grrrrrr!

Oops.

Grrrrrr!

Aaahhh!

The hole!

Grrrrrr...

Aaahhh!

Grrrrrr!

Aaahhh!

The mole monster!

Worse... Earthquake!

I don't believe it!

The moon, kingpin.

Look at the moon!

It's moving towards us.

You did this!

You made me wish for the moon.

I suggested it,

But you wished it.

My mom's gonna k*ll me!

We gotta stop it, kingpin.

How?

The paw!

Somehow it's gotta be the paw.

It's in the house!

So is the gorilla!

He'll peel us like a couple

Of bananas!

But we gotta go in after

It.

It's our only hope.

Yeah, well, count me out.

But what about the club

Motto... We stick together,

Friends defending friends?

Get real, loser.

You're on your own!

Hmmm...

Grrrrrr!

Aaahhh!

It's all over.

No matter what I do, it's all

Over.

The moon's still gonna crash.

Aaahhh!

Grrrrrr!

What a major waste!

All this because I wanted

To join a club that turned out

To be entirely bogus.

I must have had rocks

In my head, stealing the paw.

I'm not a thief.

I wish I never stole that

Stupid paw in the first place.

Aaahhh!

Although legend has it that

The gorilla's paw grants

The wishes of whoever

Possesses it, one must be very

Careful what one wishes for.

It may come true.

Come on, lewis.

What would you wish for?

[Door closes]

Lewis, wait up!

What's with you?

That must be it.

I couldn't unwish any

Of the wishes I made

With the paw, right?

But when I wished to be

In the club, that was before

I had the paw.

So without thinking, I wished

I never stole the paw to get

Into the club and... Poof!

That wish brought everything

Back to before I was a member.

What's he talking about?

Yeah?

You guys don't remember?

I saved you!

I saved the world!

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

At last, lewis has

Developed an imagination.

What do ya say, guys?

Maybe we should let lewis

In the club?

Forget it!

Huh?

I'm the guy who had

The guts to take

On the gorilla.

And I beat him all by myself.

So the way I see it, I don't

Need you guys.

I've got everything

I need... Right here.

But lewis...

But nothing.

See ya around, losers.

Aw... Well, now, let's hear

A round of a-paws for lewis.

You've got to hand it to him.

Instead of just dragging

His knuckles, he really swung

Into action.

As he found out, when magic

Wishes sound too a-peeling,

Remember, they may be too good

To be true.

[Crash]

After all, one slip and it'll

Be too late to save your skin.

So be careful what you wish

For, boys and girls.

The result may make a... Monkey

Out of you!

Hee-hee-hee...
