Marilyn, please.
Lily, dear, what are you doing?
I just want you to look your
best at supper tonight, Herman.
- We're having company.
- Oh.
Company? Good. We haven't
had people in for a long time.
We could use some
new faces around here.
And, Grandpa, I want you to be
on your best behavior at supper.
Now, if you want the ketchup, would you
mind not saying, "sh**t me the plasma?"
Okay, okay, but who's the guest?
I promised Eddie he could invite
one of his little friends from school...
to spend the weekend with us.
[Footsteps
Descending Stairs] Oh.
Hi, everybody.
This is Googie Miller.
Googie, this is my mom. Hi.
Hello, Googie.
And this is my Cousin
Marilyn. Like wow!
And this is my grandfather. Hi.
Hi.
What are you staring
at, my little man?
I never seen a penguin
smokin' a cigar before.
And this is my
father. [Clears Throat]
Put it there.
[Buzzing]
I gotcha that time. Eddie?
Why don't you take your little
friend upstairs until supper is ready.
Okay. Come on, Googie.
So long, everyone.
Outgoing little
fellow, isn't he?
I don't think he's the ideal
playmate for our sweet little Eddie.
Well, Marilyn, it-it... you know,
it may be his parents' fault.
Perhaps that's the
way he was brought up.
Brought up? I've seen better
things brought up out of a swamp.
Shh. Nevertheless, we're gonna
make it a nice weekend for Googie.
[Caws] Not me, Charlie.
I'm cuttin' out of here.
[Sighs] Dinner's just
about ready, Herman.
Would you please blow
out the candles? Yes, dear.
Grandpa, would
you call the boys?
All right, Lily. Hey, Googie!
Come on, Googie!
Nice boy.
[Creaking]
Grandpa, what are you up to?
Well, Lily, he has
a hand buzzer.
Can't I pull a harmless
little prank on him?
Put that thing away!
Oh, I never get to
have any fun at all.
Boys, supper!
Oh, my!
Doesn't that look yummy?
The boys will be
down in a minute.
Now, I want everyone to make a special
effort to be nice to Eddie's little friend.
But, Aunt Lily, he's so fresh.
Now, now, Marilyn. Being kind to
people is like investing money in the bank.
When we put kindness in, we
get kindness back with interest.
Hi. Sorry we're late, Mom.
Oh, no, no, you're just in time.
Now, Eddie, you sit over there,
and, Googie, you sit right here.
Allow me, Mrs. Munster. Oh.
Well.
May I? Oh. Oh, yes.
Sir? Oh.
Thank you, son.
[Laughing]
Mr. Banker, your
investment just hit bottom.
Uncle Herman? Yes, dear.
I really think you ought to take
that little Googie back to his parents.
He's a very bad boy.
I agree with Marilyn.
But gee, Mom, he's the
first kid I ever had stay over.
A boy like that will
disturb our normal routine.
[Spot Growling]
[Scratching On Wall]
Oh, there's that Spot
begging for food again.
I wish he'd stop that
annoying scratching.
Last week, he ripped
the back porch clean off.
Spot. [Snarling]
Spot!
Now, Spot, go away!
Spot, go away and stop...
Stop scratching the door!
Go away! Spot!
Where was I? Oh, yes.
I think we ought to let
Eddie's little friend stay.
It was very nice of his
parents to send him over.
And I think it'll be most
embarrassing if we take him back now.
Well, where's little Googie now?
He asked Grandpa to show
him the lab. They're down there.
Well, I think he ought to go home
before he causes any more trouble.
Marilyn, please!
I'm the head of this household,
and if I say he stays, he stays.
When I make a decision
around here, it stands up!
[Spot Growling] Herman,
Spot sounds awfully hungry.
Why don't you give him some
of the scraps from the table?
Good idea, Lily.
Spot, here you go.
[Munching]
I love to see an animal eat.
It's very nice of you to show me
around your wonderful laboratory, sir.
Oh, think nothing of it, son.
And over here... here... I
have my instant disguises.
That's a very nice one
you're wearing now, sir. Yeah.
And over here I'm working
on a new cough medicine.
Just one teaspoon of this stuff
and you'll cough for three days.
Oh, isn't that exciting.
What's in that old chest
there, sir? Oh, that?
That's my old army footlocker.
[Googie] What are those? All us
doughboys had our pinup pictures.
And over here, Googie, you see,
these are the chemicals
that I use in my experiments.
Oh, my. I bet you can make instant
coffee and everything with those. Yeah.
What's in here?
Don't touch that!
That's nitroglycerine.
[Sighs] There's enough in there
to blow up the whole neighborhood.
And right now, I'm
working on an old formula.
You see, I'm trying to
turn a frog into a prince.
Could you change me into something?
Could I change you into something?
I could change you into any
kind of beast you could mention...
A horse, a crocodile, a unicorn,
a rock-and-roll
singer, a jackass...
I'll bet you couldn't even
change me into a rabbit.
A rabbit? That's
my easiest trick.
Boy, you should catch
me around Easter.
I turn out rabbits faster
than rabbits turn out rabbits.
- I'll bet you can't.
- I'll bet I can.
- I'll bet you can't.
- Look, Googie, I'm too busy right now.
But right after lunch,
I'll prove it to you.
I'll turn you into a rabbit, and then
back into, uh, whatever you are.
[Eddie] Grandpa?
Grandpa?
Is Googie down there?
Yes, Eddie, he's here.
Well, would you tell him to
come up? I wanna go out and play.
I'm coming, Eddie.
Thank you, sir, for an enlightening
and informative tour of your lab.
Maybe he's not such
a bad kid after all.
♪♪ [Humming]
Hey, Eddie, after lunch
your Grandpa claims
he's gonna change me
into a rabbit and back.
Grandpa does all
kinds of neat tricks.
Well, I've got an idea how
to play a neat trick on him.
Come on downtown with
me. I've gotta get something.
I don't wanna play
any tricks on Grandpa.
What are you talking about?
He's an adult and we're kids.
It's our duty to do everything
in our power to ruin 'em.
- But, Googie...
- I'll see you after lunch.
"Bubble, bubble,
toil and trouble."
That Shakespeare.
What a cornball.
Eddie, have you seen Grandpa?
[expl*si*n] Here he comes now!
Grandpa!
- What happened to you?
- Never mind what happened to me.
Wait till you see what
happens to Googie.
Would you like me to step behind
the curtain, sir, for the alleged magic?
Right. And when
we open the curtain,
you'll be a beautiful
bunny rabbit.
This should be very
interesting. Thank you.
Grandpa, I don't think
Lily's gonna like this.
Herman, please. I just wanna
teach this little fellow a lesson.
That when his elders say they can
do something, they mean it. Herman.
I'm ready, sir.
Very good, Googie.
Now just sit perfectly
still. [Chuckles]
Abadaba abadabit.
[Laughs] Googie is
now a bunny rabbit.
Now we shall meet
the new Googie.
That's not a rabbit.
A rabbit has longer ears.
Gee, Grandpa, that's the
neatest-lookin' trick I ever saw.
- Now turn him back.
- Yeah, sure.
You know, Grandpa,
you really outdid yourself.
It's a distinct improvement.
Hi, Googie. Hi.
Eddie, why don't you go in the
house? I'm trying to concentrate.
Okay. Good-bye, Googie.
Hey, Herman. Uh, please.
Sit right there, Googie.
Don't move.
Herman, please!
Alacazamo alacazoy.
Turn back to a little boy.
Now, let's see.
What's the matter? I don't know.
The brat won't un-monkey.
Grandpa, you gotta
do something soon.
If Lily finds out,
she'll be upset.
Quiet, Herman. I'm
getting ready. [Chittering]
He'll be right with you, fella.
Stand back. Stand back.
I'm going to use number XL- .
This is the one that took Abraham
Lincoln out of that log cabin...
and put him in the White House.
Ibbety bibbety ibbety sassie.
Ex post facto...
[Trilling The "R"]
Raymond Massey.
[Laughs] I did it. I did it.
Herman, help me
up. I know it worked.
It takes a lot out of me, but
it always works. [Chuckles]
[Chittering]
Herman, I blew the bit.
Come on. Come on.
There's only one thing to do,
and you've gotta do it immediately.
What is it, Herman?
Go down to the market and
lay in a big supply of bananas.
He thinks he changed me
into a monkey. This is great.
There you are, Googie.
It's all yours. Eddie?
Would you please go and
play somewhere? Please?
But I wanna watch you
change Googie back to Googie.
Eddie, your grandfather's busy.
Will you go upstairs and play?
Okay, but I never get
to see any neat stuff.
How are you doing?
Well, according to
my calculations here,
if we wait , years, evolution
just might help solve the problem.
Grandpa, Googie's gotta
be back in school on Monday.
Why don't you
turn him into a frog?
And then turn the
frog into a prince?
And then turn the
prince back into Googie?
No, I've been working on that
frog-prince formula for five years.
And all I got to show for it is a
velvet suit and sick frogs.
[Googie] Eddie, psst.
Hey, Eddie, come here.
Googie! What are you doing here?
I just left you in the lab eating
a banana. That wasn't me.
That was Chimpo. I borrowed
him from the pet shop.
That's the big joke I wanted
to play on your old grandpa.
Well, that's a dirty trick. And I'm
gonna go tell him what you did right now.
All right, Eddie. You
go in there and do that.
And do you know what
I'm gonna do? What?
I'm going in there and tell your
parents this whole thing was your idea,
and you made me get
the chimp and everything.
- Would you really do that?
- Sure I would.
Now you and me are
gonna hide out at the movies
and really drive them
out of their skulls.
Okay, I guess I gotta.
But you're the
meanest kid I ever knew.
You're a rat and a rat fink
and a miserable little brat.
Gee, thanks, Eddie. My analyst
said what I needed was recognition.
All right. Yes, I'll tell
my Aunt Lily right now.
Marilyn, who was
that on the phone?
Googie's mother. It seems they
have some relatives coming tonight,
and they'd like it if he could come
home just as soon as possible.
Well, that's a lucky break.
Now we can get rid
of the little darling.
I think Grandpa and Herman
are amusing him in the lab.
[Lily] Herman!
Yes... Yes, dear?
Is Googie down there?
Oh, he's here, all right.
Well, Mrs. Miller phoned.
They're having company and they want
us to bring him home as soon as we can.
- Bring him home, Lily?
- Yes, dear. I want you to take him over.
Marilyn and I have to go to
the market before it closes.
All right, dear.
Is everything all
right down there?
Fine! We're having more
fun than a barrel of monkeys.
What did you have
to go and say that for?
I don't know. I just went "ape."
Herman, will you cut that
out! We're in big trouble here.
Wait a minute. I have an idea.
Is Googie's suitcase
still up in his room?
Sure, but... Listen.
Here's what we do.
Grandpa, I have the
car out front. Hurry up!
Quiet, Herman! Oh, I sure hope
this works, Herman. [Chittering]
Come on, Googie. Come on.
We're all going home now.
Oh, don't you
look nice. Oh, boy.
It's dark outside. Chances are his
parents won't notice the difference.
What a day! I sure got up on the
wrong side of the slab this morning.
Come on, Herman!
Let's get out of here!
Herman! Grandpa! We're home!
Uncle Herman?
Grandpa?
They're not here.
I guess they're delivering Eddie's
little friend back to his parents.
Oh, thank goodness.
What an annoying weekend.
Well, when they drop little Googie off
at the Millers, our troubles will be over.
Okay, Herman, this
is the number. Let's go.
All right, but let's not get into a
big conversation with the Millers.
Big conversation? All I'm gonna do is
ring the bell, leave the kid and we'll fly.
You wait here. Come on, Googie.
[Doorbell Chiming]
Oh, Googie. Look what
you did to your jacket.
Yes? We brought your
son home, Mr. Miller.
He's a great boy. We loved
having him. Good night.
Thank you, but won't
you come in? No, thanks.
We have to run.
Yes, we have to run.
Good night. Good night.
Googie, where are your manners?
You didn't even say good night.
[Chittering] Googie!
Come back here, you two!
What have you done to my boy?
Grandpa, I think he
noticed the difference.
Come on, you big dummy.
Let's head for the car.
Stop! Come back!
Help!
Yes, Mr. Miller,
this is Mrs. Munster.
But I can't understand you,
sir, unless you stop screaming.
Monkey?
I really don't understand.
All I know is that my husband
left to take your little boy home...
Hi, Mom. Hello, Mrs. Munster.
- We were at the movies.
- Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Miller,
but your son just walked in.
We'll bring him
right... Oh, you will?
All right, we'll have him ready.
Eddie, you should have told us
if you were going to the movies.
And, Googie, your father
is so upset he's incoherent.
Now your parents are
expecting relatives, and
your father is coming
right over to get you.
So you run on upstairs
and get ready. Yes, ma'am.
Aunt Lily?
I thought Uncle Herman
took Googie home.
I don't know how he's done
it, but he's goofed it again.
Grandpa, I'm scared.
That strange car out front.
After what we did with Googie,
do you suppose it's the police?
Well, it's either
that or the S.P.C.A.
Come on. We've gotta
get to the dungeon.
Herman, we can lock
ourselves in the dungeon...
for or years till
this thing blows over.
Oh. If we're gonna
be there that long,
I'll need a change of socks.
Herman, please!
Mrs. Munster, I can't tell you what a
shock this whole thing has been to me.
Well, Mr. Miller,
everything is all right now.
And you can take him back
home to see his relatives.
Oh.
They just came
back for his suitcase.
I guess when they got a good look at
him, they liked him better as a monkey.
Hey! Hey!
He's not a monkey anymore.
He's changed back to a kid.
Boy, that Abraham Lincoln bit
must have had a delayed fuse on it.
Grandpa, we're in the clear.
Well, like I said, I've got company
coming. So I've got to get going.
That's right. I understand.
Would you mind coming
outside for a minute, please?
A monkey?
Yes, it's a little
present for you.
Some wise guy in white tie
and tails left it at my house.
White tie and tails?
I think I know who that is.
Well, good night,
Mr. Miller. Good night.
[Googie] Good night.
Herman, Grandpa,
kindly explain this.
He's changed back again.
Oh, no.
And I wanted to tell you
that the monkey came
from the pet store, but
Googie wouldn't let me.
- He said it was a funny joke.
- Eddie, it's not a funny joke...
when it's at the expense of your
poor, old, broken-down grandfather.
Thank you, Herman.
Eddie, you're
getting off very easy.
Why, back in the Old Country,
if I had done something like this,
my father would
have bit my head off.
Gee, I'm sorry.
If you go with bad companions,
some of it is bound to rub off on you.
Exactly. Which brings to
mind a famous old quotation...
"He who lies down with dog,
gets up with fleas."
- Who said that, Daddy?
- I'm not sure.
I think it was the
man who trains Lassie.
Well, I agree. Eddie
should be punished.
Oh, but I hate to see that
awful Googie get away with this.
Marilyn, he shan't.
Tomorrow morning,
I'm going over to
Mr. Miller's and tell him
what his boy has done,
and point out to him that he
has neglected his duty as a father.
I'm also gonna give him the
benefit of my vast experience...
as a parent and a human being.
Thank you.
Herman, why don't you just
telephone him and tell him now?
No, Lily. I wanna
meet him face-to-face,
so he can get the full impact.
[Chittering]
[Squawking]
[Door Opens]
[Door Closes] Hmm.
That little fella is sure in a
hurry to get back to the pet store.
