04x03 - A Knight to Remember/Gummies Just Want to Have Fun

Post by bunniefuu »

If the clock's hands reach midnight,
we're doomed.

What's going on?

TUMMI:
Hi, I'm Tummi Gummi.

You watch these exciting scenes
from today's show

while I go get a snack.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Sound the alarm, ogre att*ck.

- Yee!
- Ogres? Where? Where?

Ogres!

TUMMI:
Batten down the hatches, hide the food.

GRAMMI:
Everybody just stay calm now.

Fear not. I, Sir Cubbi, will protect you.
Yaah!

Take that and that and that.

I'll teach you to tangle
with a Gummi knight.

[CUBBI GRUNTING]

GRUFFI:
Cubbi.

And just what
do you think you're doing?

I'm practising being a Gummi knight.

Hmp. You're no knight.

Sure I am,
well, an honorary one, at least.

GRAMMI: Real knights don't go around
stirring up trouble, Cubbi dear.

They're courteous and helpful.

So why don't you help out
and get me some stinkweed?

Oh, all right.

This is a waste of time
for a fearless knight.

I should be out on some great quest
or fighting fierce dragons

not pulling up some dumb weeds.

Huh?

"Here lies a great and
noble knight, Sir Gallant."

Wow.

Maybe someday I, Sir Cubbi,
will be honoured like this.

Excelsior. Did you say Sir Cubbi?

A ghost. Eee-yah!

At last, a Gummi knight
has come to release my spirit.

Wait!

Whoa!

[GRUNTING]

[SCREAMS]

BOTH: Cubbi.
- Help! A ghost.

Grammi, don't let him get me.

Sir Cubbi, stop.

Cubbi, no.

I'm warning you, stay back.

Wait, come back, young sir.

[PANTING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

CUBBI:
Go away.

[SIGHS]

GRUFFI: I hope you have an explanation
for your behaviour, Cubbi.

[STUTTERING]
Didn't you see the ghost?

ALL:
Ghost?

Knights, ghosts, what next?

But I really did see him.

Now, Cubbi, we don't want to hear
any more of your stories.

I know I saw a ghost.

But why didn't they?

Because I can onIy been seen
by a true Gummi knight.

CUBBI: Yikes!
- Please, I mean you no harm.

I just need help.

CUBBI:
From me?

You're a Gummi knight, aren't you?

Yeah, well, sort of.

Well, then, snap out of it
and act like one.

Yes, sir.

Now, heed me well, Sir Cubbi.

Many years ago, I was sent on a quest

to find and dismantle the dreaded
Doomsday clock.

This mighty w*apon
was created by an ancient wizard.

If it ever fell into the wrong hands,

its power could destroy the world.

[CLOCK CHIMING]

Alas, I never completed my quest.

My spirit cannot rest until
the Doomsday clock is destroyed.

Oh.

Fear not, noble spirit.

I, Sir Cubbi,
will help you finish your quest.

Spoken like a true Gummi knight.

CUBBI:
Wow, this is great.

I'm a knight with a mission.

Oh, but how're we gonna find
the Doomsday clock?

With this.

CUBBI:
Wow. An ancient Gummi compass.

The closer we get to the clock,
the brighter it glows.

But first we must pass over
Dreadful Gorge.

No sweat. Last one across
is a rotten Gummi. Whoop!

A Gummi knight
never jumps in head first.

Look before you bounce.

Now, you've got a lot of things to learn.

Like patience.

Now according to my compass,

the Doomsday clock is somewhere
over these mountains.

Start climbing, lad.

[WIND WHISTLING]

I got a better idea.

Let's take a shortcut and bounce over.

Stop.

A Gummi knight never uses
his juice frivolously.

You've got to learn to rely on yourself.

[GRUNTING]

Oh, this isn't as much fun
as I thought it would be.

Being a knight is not
all glamour and fame.

It's hard work.

I know, I know.

[CUBBI GRUNTING]

Made it.

[PANTING]

Good news, Sir Cubbi.

We're close to the Doomsday clock.

Our quest will soon be over.

[CUBBI SIGHS]

CUBBI:
The sooner, the better.

[GALLANT YELLS]

Huh?

A Gummi knight can't go around
looking like a vagabond.

It's simply unheard of.

Here.

Knights don't sew.

Bingo.

Behold. The compass says
the Doomsday clock is close at hand.

Hmm! Oh, yeah. Where? Oh.

We came all the way out here
for nothing.

[CUBBI SCREAMS]

[GRUNTS]

Hooray, the search is over. Look.

[CUBBI GASPS]

CUBBI:
The Doomsday clock.

GALLANT: Thank goodness,
it's never been set in motion.

It's up to you, Sir Cubbi,
to dismantle the clock's golden gears.

- Me?
- You can do it, lad.

Stop. Thieves. That's my treasure.

Easy. I'm not stealing anything.

I'm just saving the world.

You are not, you're after my treasure.

I don't have time to argue with you.

- Stop!
- Hey.

WIZARD:
Mine, mine, mine, all mine.

[GRUNTING]

Now look what you've done.

Puzzle my fur.

If the clock's hands reach midnight,
we're doomed.

Well, what do we do now?

Just go away, this is my treasure

and you can't have it.

There's no time to waste.

I'll take care of this bullheaded boob,

while you stop the clock.

- Back off, scallywag.
- Yikes!

[SCREAMING]

I sure hope this works.

[GRUNTING]

This sure isn't gonna be easy.

Go away and leave my treasure alone.

Forget the baubles,
the world's about to be destroyed.

And time's flying fast.

At last, the golden gears.

Whoa!

Oh, no!

My treasure. My poor treasure.

If onIy I had listened to Sir Gallant

and fixed that stupid tear.

That's it.

The sewing needle.

Uhn!

Aha. Nothing is impossible
for a Gummi knight.

[CREAKING]

What's going on?

[OBJECTS CLATTERING]

Yikes!

I b*at the clock.

Just in the nick of time.

Sir Cubbi, do you realise what you did?

Yeah, you saved my treasure.

[CACKLING]

Well done, lad.

I couldn't have done it without you,
Sir Gallant.

Please accept this as a token
of my gratitude.

Wow.

Now I can finally rest in peace.

Farewell, Sir Cubbi,
last of the great Gummi knights.

CUBBI:
Goodbye.

Gee, wait till I tell the others.

I saved the world.

You what?

SUNNI:
Stop playing games, Cubbi.

You've caused enough trouble today.

Say, where did you get that?

You'd never believe me if I told you.

GALLANT:
Excelsior.

GRAMMI:
Land sakes!

I've never seen so much laundry.

Well, it's a dirty job,
but someone's gotta do it.

And that someone is always me.

He goes for the basket.

He makes the sh*t. Hooray!

Oh, Cubbi.

Look at that mess.

Sorry. Can't a bear
have any fun around here?

Well, I'm not having any.

[GRUNTS]

Watch where you're going, Tummi.

Sorry, Grammi,
but I'm in kind of a hurry.

- Oh! Ooh.
- You know, Tummi,

not everyone around here

gets to have fun.
Some of us have to work.

Yeah, I guess everyone does
what they like doing best

and since you like doing chores,
could you mend this mitten for me.

[HUFFS]

Gee, was it something I said?

It's always "Grammi, can you do this,
Grammi, can you do that?"

Well, I'm getting plenty tired
of doing this and that. So there!

[PLAYING UPBEAT MUSIC]

Why, I haven't heard that song
since I was a cub.

Huh.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

I know you're around here somewhere.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

GRAMMI:
Ooh! Gotcha.

Ha-ha-ha. Nogum, you rascal.

I haven't seen you since
I was knee high to a water sprite.

Where have you been all these years?

Oh, just doing a wee bit of this
and a wee bit of that.

And thought I'd drop in to see
how me favourite Gummi gal was doing.

[LAUGHING]

Stop that.

Come, Nogum, Gruffi and Zummi
will be so glad to see you.

Nogum.

I'm afraid so, Gruffi.

Why, little Gruff,
the last time I saw you,

you were just a wee babe
I bounced on me knee.

I was never a babe.

Ah. To me, you still are.

Hey, cut that out.

- Sure thing.
- Oh! Uhn!

[ALL LAUGHING]

Gee, Grammi, we never knew
you had such a neat friend.

Grammi and I go back a long way, lad.


Why we used to be called
the impossible pair.

[LAUGHS]

Our Grammi?

[LAUGHS]

This little lass was me best partner
on many grand adventures.

More like misadventures.

Ah. I miss the good old days.

Oh, you're not the onIy one.

Well, then what's stopping us
from taking up where we left off?

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Uh-- Grammi, did you mend my mitten?

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Gee, Grammi sure is acting strange.

Wait till I get my hands on you, Nogum.

Look out, here I come.

Grammi, stay back.

Whoa!

This ought to stop her.

Make way for the last of the
red hot Grammies.

Look at this place. It's a mess.

[LAUGHS]

Who cares?

Well, it's just not like Grammi
to be late with breakfast.

She's been playing so much with Nogum,
maybe she forgot.

Grammi would never forget breakfast.

But then she did forget
to mend my mitten.

I just wish she would act her age again.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Ahem!

I think me sheleighly and I
could use a breath of fresh air.

That Nogum
is an irresponsible nuisance.

It's time you threw him out, Grammi.

GRAMMI:
Throw him out?

But Gruffi, Nogum is my friend.

Besides, I haven't had this much fun
in years.

Fun is one thing.
Making a fool of yourself is another.

Either he goes or else.

Yeah, that's right. You said it.

Either he goes or we go. Yeah.

Oh, have it your way.

So there you are Nogum,
I've been looking everywhere for you.

I've caused you a lot of trouble,
haven't I, lass?

Oh, it's not you. It's just that no one
around here wants me to have any fun.

Seems to me you have a right
to a wee bit of fun.

You're darn right, I do.

Ho-ho! That's the spirit, lassie.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[SINGING HAPPY TUNE]

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[GASPS]

GRAMMI:
Look, Nogum, Drekmore.

Remember how we used
to sneak in there

and nip some fruit
from that old Frugal Tree?

[LAUGHS]

I haven't done that in years.

Want to give it another go?

Just try and stop me.

[BOTH SINGING HAPPY TUNE]

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Just look at this place. What a mess.

Oh, no, our Gummiberry Juice
is almost gone.

And there isn't any soap left.
Where's Grammi?

She's forgotten all her responsibilities.

I never realised it, but Grammi does
everything for us around here.

Uh... Isn't that her job?

Yeah, but what do we do for her?

Well, gee, I--

We never even say thank you.

Yeah, you're right, Cubbi.

We should let Grammi know
how much we appreciate her.

Yeah, let's go find her.

[CLEARS THROAT]

If you don't mind,
I think I'll get dressed first.

NOGUM:
Ah. There it is.

GRAMMI:
The Frugal Tree.

NOGUM:
And look at who's still guarding it.

[SNORING]

After you, my dear.

[YELLS THEN GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GROWLS]

You almost woke him.
You should be more careful.

[SNARLS]

Oh, no!

[SNARLING]

GRUFFI:
Still no sign of her.

I sure hope Grammi's okay.

Don't worry, Cubbi, she's with Nogum.

That's what I'm worried about.

Now, now, now,
I've known Grammi a long time

and she can certainIy
take care of herself.

Help!

GRAMMI & NOGUM:
Whoa!

Gad hungry for snack.
Zook what, yummy fruit too?

Mm. Good.

[GRUNTS]

[IN UNISON]
Ooh!

A leprechaun.

Maybe him got pot of gold?

Hey, me see him first.

I gotta do something fast.

[GRAMMI WHISTLES]

Over here, swifty.

Whoa!

[THUDDING]

[DOG GROWLING]

ZOOK:
No!

One down, one to go.

Hey, melon head.

- Huh? Ooh!
- Here's juice in your eye.

Allow me.

[GRUNTING]

[BOTH LAUGHING]

I haven't had this much fun in years.

You know, lass, we make a great team.

We do, don't we?

Why don't you come away with me?

There may not be a pot of gold
at the other end,

but I'm sure
there's plenty of fun and surprises.

Oh, I'd love to.

It's getting a bit nippy.

Oh. What's this?

Tummi's mitten. I never mended it.

Oh, poor Tummi,

and who'll make the Gummiberry Juice
or cook for them.

I'm sorry, I just can't go.

But think of the fun you'll be missing.

There's more to life than fun, Nogum.
I'm needed here.

Then I guess it's time I be off.

Just remember, you're never
too old to feel young. Ha-ha-ha.

I'll remember. AIways.

SUNNI:
I guess Grammi's really gone for good.

CUBBI:
I never even got to say goodbye.

Grammi?

You're back.

Oh, Grammi, we missed you so much.

Here's your mitten, Tummi.

Thanks, Grammi.

Good as new.

Well, I guess it's time
I started fixing dinner.

Oh, no, no, no, Grammi,
you just sit there and relax.

We're going to fix dinner
for a change.

Great idea, Zummi.

Yeah, come on.

Hah. Maybe now things can get back
to normal around here.

That's right, Gruffi.
