Boy, do I love
a river cruise.

What did that advertisement
say when we signed up?

"See the world. Learn a trade."

Don't ask me--
I can't read!

[squawks]

More speed, you lazy slugs.

Aye-aye, sir!

Put a creature in charge
and right away he starts
giving orders.

[Gimmick muttering]

Whoa! W-Whoa!

Whoa!

You heard the captain--
more speed!

[breathing heavily]

We're running
as fast as we can.

Why is the captain
in so much of a hurry, matey?

Because he doesn't want
to be late for the zoo.

Did you say the--
the-- the zoo?

Indeed I did.

No one in Ying has ever
seen an Octopede before.

You'll be the star attractions.

And that bald guy will be good
for some laughs, too.

What? Whoops!

Whoops!

Wh--Whoops.

Whoa!

See what I mean?
[laughing]

Wow, Grubby.

I've never seen
such a strange-looking place.

Grubby: I have, Teddy.
It was in a bad dream.

We'd better
do some scouting.

I just hope there's nothing
out there scouting us.

Gosh, what strange plants
they have growing in this place.

You can say that again.

I'll bet Gimmick would
love to see these.

Maybe we should save some
of them for when we see him.

You mean, if we see him.

Teddy: Don't worry, Grubby,
we'll find Gimmick.

I promise you.

[both shuddering]

I've got a feeling
Gimmick's up there
somewhere.

I've got the same feeling.

So, what are we waiting for?

Wizard: There it is, Louie,

Quagmire, the capital of Ying.

Soon to be the home of
my fabulous Wizard Park.

Yeah, it looks like this swamp
could use a few laughs.

Wizard: You can't expect much
from a city called Quagmire,
now, can you?

Louie: I'll try to land
somewhere where we don't sink.

Here we are, Wiz, the Ying Zoo.

Wizard: Zoo, schmoo.

That sorcerer brother of mine
will do anything for a buck.

-So will you.
-You underestimate me, Louie.

I'll do anything
for a buck-and-a-half.

Now, I want all those suckers
over there, over here.

Then we better get started
building Wizard Park.

Ground-breaking ceremony,
Wizard Park Amusement Center,

take one.

Oh, here goes!

What?

Cut.

-Ow!
-What on Earth?

Cut!

Well, Louie,
we're now open for business.

Step right in,
ladies and gentle-monsters.

Ride the death-defying,

terrifying, Dizzy Wizard,

our newest thrill-packed ride.

Come one, come all.

-[clamoring]
-Oh! Ooh!

Louie, I have
a feeling this park

is going to do
a monster business.

L.B.: Hey, open the door.

My foot's starting to hurt.

-Ooh!
-Use your head,

you apostrophe-shaped
buffoon.

Come on, Eleanor.

I got important news.

It's about your son Tweeg.

I thought you said
it was important.

[grunts]

I'm trying to tell you-- oof.

Tweeg can make gold.

Did you say you had news
of my darling boy?

That's right, I saw it.

He finally made gold.

Eleanor: Are you certain?

L.B.: I saw it with my own eyes.

My poor son,

lost, alone,

and incredibly wealthy.

The boy needs his mother.

The thing is,
Quellor's after him.

If we don't find Tweeg
before he does--

Then Quellor
will get the gold.

Exactly.

Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's get moving.

Like I always say,

never underestimate
a mother's love.

[laughs]

Hey, Eleanor, wait for me.

Oof!

Hello.

You must be new
around these parts.

[brakes squealing]

Hey, you.
Move it or lose it.

What is that
green thing anyway?

It appears to be
a Grunge of sorts.

Possibly priceless.

Possibly worthless.

But let's keep it
for the zoo anyway.

Nice place.
Did you use a decorator?

Tweeg?!

Tweeg, is that, uh, you?

I don't know.
What's a Tweeg?

How decidedly, uh, odd.

He's forgotten his own name.

The poor sap's had
his brain fried by Quellor.

We get cases like this
at the zoo all the time.

Usually we have to buy them.
This one is a freebie.

Do you mind
if I examine him?

Be my guest.

[beeping]

[crystal humming]

My, my, the crystal stethoscope

isn't registering any,
uh, personality at all.

Looks to me like he's been
drinking bilge water.

Yup, they definitely
swabbed his poop deck.

Poor Tweeg.

How horrible to have
your mind stolen away.

Although in his case,
he he,

it seem to make much,
uh, difference.

Move it, move it!
Head 'em out!

We got a schedule to keep.

[snorts]
No we don't.

I'm trying to sound
threatening.

Move it! Move it!

Heavens to Grundo!

You'll damage my airship!

Put the wheels down!

I said, put those wheels down!

And I mean, uh, uh, now!

That's better.

You ought to take threatening
lessons from that guy.

[snorts]

Sorcerer: Poverty's never
bothered me before,

but then I've always had money.

But, Sorcerer, you've
still got plenty of money.

But not enough.

My profits are even lower
than your I.Q.

Gosh. Is that low?

Bango, Spango, Spango.

We've got to turn
things around.

Uh, sure, Boss.

Whoa!

Whoa! Oh!

Whoa!

Hey, Sorcerer,
look what I caught.

My word, Octopedes!

Zookeeper:
Also a brainless Grunge!

And him!

By Grundo, they'll make
marvelous additions to my zoo.

Hey, everybody! Look-it!

Sorcerer: Hmm.

It appears to be
some sort of land boat.

Gimmick:
That, sir, is my airship.

And I demand you set me
and my companions, uh, free.

Sorcerer: Silence!

I detest the word,
f-- f-- f-- free.

Hmm.

What do we have here?

Zookeeper:
Quellor zapped his brain.

He's short a few pages
in his book.

Missing a few rungs
in his ladder.

-Shy a few lights in his--
-Sorcerer: Yes, yes, yes,

I've heard them all before.

Hmm.

He'll be our star attraction.

The Troll-Grunge
with no brain.

And these Octopedes?
Fairly unique also.

[snorts]

They're the ship's crew.

They'll make fine workers.

A whole new crew
for our brand-new zoo.

Now, cage the lot of them
and prepare their exhibit.

You heard him.

Shake a bunch of legs,
you Octopedes.

[snorts]

We're going, but iron bars

will never contain my spirit.

You spirit can do
what it likes,

as long as your carcass stays
around to make money for me.

[evil laughter]

Grubby and I
are making our way
up a mysterious river

in the sub-water boat.

Without it,
we would never have rescued
the Octopedes from the storm,

and we'd have no chance
of getting to Ying

in order to rescue
Gimmick and Zelza.

-And Zena.
-And... Zena.

Sorcerer:
I can't understand it,

I dropped the zoo
admission charge,

and still people
are staying away in droves.

They used to flock to my zoo.

Big deal!

There's nothing else to do
in town but go to the zoo.

Until my brother opened
that stupid Wizard Land.

Uh, Sorcerer,

that reminds me.

Can I have the afternoon off?

Don't tell me,

you have to go and pick scum
off your dad's farm again.

Oh, no,
it's no scum season yet.

Then why do you want
the afternoon off?

Uh.... to visit,

uh... Wizard World.

Wizard World!

I knew it, you traitor.

Wizard World!

So, "Wizard Land"
wasn't good enough for him.

I come all the way to Quagmire
to get away from my brother.

Now he sets up shop
right across from me

and steals my customers!

Uh, can I leave now, Boss?

I wanna get there before
prices change.

Remind me to have
something horrible

done to you later,
will you, Spango?

Something horrible?
Something horrible!

Okay, Almighty Sorcerer.

Yeah, for sure.
Ha ha ha. Later.

It's so hard to find
loyal help these days.

Hey, Stinky!

Get out of my town

and take your
"stinky land" with you.

That's Wizard Land, Bucky!

I was here first,

and don't call me "Bucky."

I hate that nickname.

Well, don't call me "stinky."

Besides,

[sing-songy]
I have all the customers...

Bucky.

Don't worry.

[sing-songy]
I'll get them back!

Stinky!

Come one, come all,

see the incredible Octopedes

from a far off land.

Gimmick the Great!
Watch him sink

the Troll-Grunge with no brain.

-See him-- Well,
you can just... see him.
-Wanna see the funny creatures!

[chattering]

I wanna see the funny creatures!

[all talking at once]

No! Wait! Hold it!

Oh! Come back!

-Ooh!
-Aw!

-Hmm.
-Oh!

What's the matter,
you scurvy swabs?

Ain't you never seen
an Octopede before?!

Let me get 'em!
Let me get 'em!

[shouting]

Now, now, fellow prisoners,

let us not lower ourselves.

We must maintain

some semblance of dignity.

Don't you agree, Tweeg?

He's a lot of help.

Wizard: Forget the zoo!
Come to Wizard World.

More rides, more games,

more prizes.

More fun!

[all exclaiming]

Grubby: This must be where
they've taken them, Teddy.

Teddy:
I get the feeling we won't be
very welcome in this town.

I think we'd better
make ourselves invisible
for the search, Grubby.

Grubby: Huh?

We need the lantern.
Ah, here it is.

Grubby:
And there they are, Teddy!

Ooh!

Hey, watch it, fellas!

[groans]

Oh, no!

Now see what you did?

Who do you think you are,
pushing people around?

We're the Quagmire Creeps.

And I'm Rignig Skin-Peel,
chief creep.

Yeah, and this
happens to be our turf.

I like turf, especially
if it's got roots on it.

Grubby, I don't think they're
talking about that kind of turf.

What are you guys
supposed to be?

I'm an Octopede
and he's an Illiop.

-Oh, no!
-Illiop?!

[screaming]

It's like my mother
used to tell me,

the Illiops will get you
if you don't watch out!

Gee, they're afraid
of you, Teddy.

What's so scary about an Illiop?

I'm afraid the lantern
is gone Grubby.

We'll have to think
of something else.

-Like what?
-Hmm.

I've got an idea.

Gee, I hope I don't
meet anyone I know.

[Teddy laughs]
Don't worry, Grubby,

they'd never recognize you.

-Huh?
-Weird.

Very weird.

-Thank you.
-I think it's working.

I know. But I'm still worried.

What's wrong, Grubby?

I can't help
thinking about Zena.

I hope she's okay.

I'm sure she is.

But how will we ever
find her and Gimmick

in a place like this?

-Teddy: Oh, no!
-I think we just did.
