[thunder rumbling]

[Quellor laughing]

Like I always say,

there's no news
like bad news.

Especially about somebody else.

"Tweeg, would be arch-villain,

has met an untimely end

at the hands of Sludge,
Drudge, and Trudge,

Quellor's monstrous minions."

Uh, is that what it says?

Why, isn't it true?

Uh, why sure it is,
Your Gruesomeness.

It had better be.

"It has been reported
to this reporter

that Tweeg was pounded down
to his component particles.

Tweeg under glass.

You did well, my uglies.

Quellor looks very happy.

Yeah. This is serious.

Trudge: It ain't our fault
Tweeg got away.

Drudge:
But if Quellor ever finds out
that he ain't got nothing

but a jar full of
green goop...

Tweeg!

...we're dead meat.

[thunder rumbling]

You don't know how happy
this makes me, L.B.

And that's all that
really matters, right, boss?

What I've been through--
the nervous nights,
the sleepless days--

hunted like a common villain.

-I thought you were a villain.
-I am.

But I'm not "common."

I'm a master villain.

I think I'll have
this headline framed.

"Hunt for Tweeg Ends."

What's the rest of
the article say?

Ah, who cares?

The headline says it all.

Quellor doesn't want to
throw me in a dungeon anymore.

In fact, he's crazy about me.

In that case,
he's crazy all right. [laughs]

You know,
I think I'll visit him.

I'm sure he misses me.

A gift. I need a gift.

Hmm. Aha!

I'll bring him this box
of candy-coated slugs.

-Oh!
-Mm.

[slurps]
Who could resist those?

Pfft.

[humming]

Humming I can handle
as long as he doesn't sing.

I can't stand it when he sings.

Tweeg: ♪ Sing low, sing high ♪

♪ Sing ah for the life
of a villain ♪

♪ Ha, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la ♪

Rats.

[chuckles] I almost forgot

how much fun autumn is.

Teddy:
And I'll bet no one in Grundo

knows about playing
make-believe.

It was always my favorite fall
thing to do back in Rillonia.

Boy, is Gimmick ever
going to be surprised.

These are gonna be the best

make-believe costumes
anyone's ever seen.

♪ We just dressed up like this
so we'd surprise you ♪

♪ It's fun when your best
friends don't recognize you ♪

♪ Although people
might look scary ♪

♪ Please don't
get up and leave ♪

♪ It's all in fun
when we play make-believe ♪

Oh, boy, this is gonna be fun.

♪ Let's make-believe we can
be anything we wish ♪

♪ Let's make-believe ♪

-♪ I'll be a bird ♪
-♪ I'll be a fish ♪

♪ Let's make-believe,
I'll be you and you be me ♪

♪ When we make-believe
there isn't anything ♪

♪ That we can't be ♪

[Teddy laughs]

Ooh!

♪ Anyone can be a ghost
or goblin, Grunge, or ghoul ♪

♪ All it takes
is some imagination ♪

♪ So let's dress up real funny
and go see whom we can fool ♪

♪ We will look just like
two Mudblups on vacation ♪

Yep. [chuckles]

-Boo!
-Both: ♪ Let's make-believe ♪

♪ We can be anything at all ♪

♪ Let's make-believe ♪

♪ It is the best thing
about fall ♪

♪ Let's make-believe,
I'll be you and you be me ♪

♪ When we make-believe
there isn't anything ♪

♪ That we can't be ♪

-Grubb: Ooh.
-Teddy: Ooh!

It's amazing.
We look just like Mudblups.

Hey, here comes Gimmick.

Come on, Teddy.
Let's jump out and scare him.

[sniffing]

-Teddy: Blup, blup, ooh!
-Grubby: Blup. Blup.

-Blup, blup.
-Oh, hello, boys.

Eh, Mudblups, right?

Aw, you're not
even surprised.

Or scared.

I guess our costumes
aren't very good.

Oh, they're very good indeed.

So how come
you weren't scared?

Because it's scientifically
impossible

for Mudblups to be seen
outside in the daytime.

-Not unless
they've got sunglasses.
-That's right.

So I simply deduced
that you had to be,

eh, Teddy and Grubby.

Oh.

So, do you boys think
you could make one of those

wonderful costumes for me?

-Sure we can, Gimmick.
-Splendid.

Then tonight, we can all
go to Wooly's party

in our disguises.

We'll have you looking like
a Mudblup in no time.

[laughs] Excellent.

And on the way
to Wooly's place,

perhaps we can visit the Fobs

and surprise them, too.

[laughs]

Okay, there they are.

Ready now?

One, two, three...

surprise! Blup, blup, blup!

[all oohing]

Eh, blup.

-Blup.
-Teddy, Grubby, Gimmick.

Look who's here, fellas.

-Hi, guys. How you doing?
-Hi, guys. Hiya.

-How come you're all dirty?
-Did you fall in the mud
or something?

-[Fobs laughing]
-Grubby: No, we're
supposed to be Mudblups.

-Mudblups?
-Well, tell us another...

[laughter]

What exactly is so humorous?

First of all,
Mudblups are lots bigger.

And they don't have eight legs.

And they don't wear glasses.

[Fobs laugh]

Maybe this idea
isn't so great after all.

Yeah. I guess Wooly
won't be very surprised either.

Wooly?
You've got to be kidding.

Both:
Wooly's not afraid of anything.

[banging on door]

Let me do the talking, L.B.
Ouch.

This is going to take tact,
diplomacy--

Ouch-- and subtlety. Ouch.

Ouch. Ouch.

-Ouch.
-Yes?

[gasps] Picking thorns?

Rule number four, subsection
two, paragraph 12 states--

"Anyone caught picking M.A.V.O.
thorn bushes will be--"

Hello there, Ickly.

[stammering]

You're supposed to be--
[screaming]

See that, L.B.?

Tact and diplomacy always
produce the desired results.

You wait here, L.B.

I'm sure Quellor
wants to see me alone.

L.B.: Lots of luck. Tweeze.

You'll need it. [laughs]

Grubby:
Gee, fellas, aren't we even
gonna jump out and scare Wooly?

Gimmick: There's not much point,
I'm afraid.

Teddy: If these costumes
didn't frighten the Fobs,

they certainly
won't frighten Wooly.

[Wooly jabbers]
Just a minute. I'm coming.

-Hello there, Woo--
-Mudblups!

[jabbering]

Help!

Go away!

Go away!

-Grubby: But, Wooly...
-Teddy: It's only us.

-Gimmick, Grubby, and Teddy.
-Ooh, ooh!

You can't fool me.
I know Mudblups when I see 'em.

We're not real Mudblups.

Real Mudblups are bigger.

And they don't have
eight legs.

And they don't wear glasses
either. [chuckles]

Teddy:
See, Wooly? It's really us.

Ooh.

Why were you fellers
pretending to be Mudblups?

You scared me.

It's an old
Rillonian custom.

-Scaring people?
-[Teddy chuckles]

No, playing make-believe.

We'll tell you
all about it over dinner.

Quellor: Makes a fine
centerpiece, don't you think?

Uh, absolutely.

Uh, positively.

Real, uh, unique.

A toast to Tweeg's ghost.

All: To Tweeg's ghost.

[gulping]

I'm willing to let
bygones be bygones.

[coughing]

No, no, don't say anything.

It's hard to apologize.

[mutters]

-I understand.
-[Quellor groaning]

Why is this green creature
still alive?

It was Trudge's idea.

Uh, I don't get ideas.

-It's not my fault.
-Quellor: Out!

Out!

Out!

-Guards!
-[shouts]

Take this abomination
to the dungeon!

The dungeon? But-But-But-- Wait!

Do as I command!

And find a particularly
loathsome cell to throw him in.

Tweeg:
Please, don't lock me up!

I can bring you Teddy Ruxpin.

Truly, I can.

Quellor!

If he can deliver us
Teddy Ruxpin,

perhaps we should
listen to him.

When I want your opinion,

I'll rattle your chain.

So be it, sire.

So be it.

I told you it wouldn't work.

What?

It was your idea,
remember?

[sniffs]
How come I never
get any ideas?

Silence!

Yes, my mighty one.

Quellor:
Against our better judgment,

we shall give you one last
chance to redeem yourselves.

[all repeating "thank you"]

You must bring us the Illiop,
Teddy Ruxpin.

[all agreeing]

Quellor: You dare not fail.

Dead or alive his carcass
will be at my feet by dawn.

But, sire,
we must have him alive.

Without him,
we'll never find the crystals.

My orders will not
be questioned.

Now be gone!

Any preference,
Your Nightmareship?

-Preference?
-He means about
the dead or alive bit.

Surprise me. [laughs]

[groans]

That's another minute.
I can't take much more of this.

I've gotta break out of here.

Say, that was easy.

Tweeg, you will help me
find the Illiop.

Quellor has sent those three
buffoons to bring him back,

dead or alive.

I want him alive.

Come.

Ah, the sweet smell
of freedom.

I must warn you.
I don't know how I'll be
on the outside.

Prison does something
to a man.

How would you know?

Wooly, that's the best
make-believe costume
I've ever seen.

[jabbers]
You really think so?

Grubby: You look good enough
to plant. [chuckles]

[laughter]

Teddy: The Grunge village
is just around this bend.

Boy, are they
gonna be surprised.

[murmuring]

[jabbers]

Grubby: Yikes!

Gimmick: Oh, dear!

Whoa!

Trina, look who's here.

Ted, Grub, Newton.

Say, who's the flower?

Nice costume.

Thank you.

-Hello, everyone.
-Let me guess.

You guys are supposed
to be mud pies, right?

Actually, we're Mudblups.

Yeah.
These are our costumes
for make-believe.

Whoa! I thought we were
the only ones into that.

We were just about to
have our pumpkin parade.

Hey, since you're already
in costume,

why don't you join us?

-Teddy: Good idea.

Trina: ♪ When the pumpkins
have their autumn parade ♪

♪ In the deepest,
darkest part of the forest ♪

Grubby: ♪ Let's try to find
a place where we can watch them
in the shade ♪

♪ Where hopefully the pumpkins
will ignore us ♪

Teddy: ♪ Because when pumpkins
get together ♪

♪ They might look kinda mean ♪

Teddy and Grubby:
♪ Even spooks and goblins
are afraid ♪

Trina: ♪ So you'd better watch
out and try not to be seen ♪

♪ When the pumpkins
have their autumn parade ♪

All: ♪ Pumpkins on parade ♪

Trina: Yeah!

Hey, Grunges, great costumes.

Sludge: Thanks!

Ain't that Teddy "Dustbin"?

It looks more like
a Mudblup to me.

I don't know about that.
Check the feet.

Sludge: Hmm.

Say, uh, are you
Teddy Ruxpin?

Why, yes, I am.

-It is him.
-Drudge: I told you.

-Let's get him.
-Later.

Too many witnesses.

That darn costume is itchy.

-Understander:
Where is the Illiop, Tweeg?
-[gasps]

Tweeg: He must be here.

We've looked
everywhere else.

Drat.
It's those M.A.V.O. g*ons.

Run, Teddy!

Those guys are from M.A.V.O.

Grab him!

[gasps]

[shouts]

[all grunt]

Run!

After them, you fools!

Uh-oh. We're trapped.

Think of something, Teddy.

I'm thinking. I'm thinking.

[shouting]

Hey, this is fun.

They must've gone down here.

[laughs]
Come on. Follow me.

[all shouting]

Fooled them that time.
[chuckles]

-Are you all right, Wooly?
-[jabbers]

Just fine, fellers.

-Can you see
what's happening down there?
-Eh, yep.

I think those bad guy monsters
are gonna have some problems.

Gotcha, Ruxpin!

Any last words?

-[Mudblups grumbling]
-Sludge, I think these guys
are real Mudblups.

Oh, great.

-What happened?
-[groans]

I think those monsters are gonna
be sorry they started this.

-Uh-oh. Someone else is coming.
-[L.B. bouncing]

If Ruxpin escapes
a second time,

[panting]
I shudder to think

what Quellor will do
to you, Tweeg.

I shudder, too.

Only more so.

[panting]

Quick,
which way did they go?

[all imitate Mudblups]

Aha!

I told you there were
around here somewhere.

Yes, we are around here.

-Somewhere.
-[Grubby chuckles]

-[all laughing]
