06x02 - Friar Tum/Never Give a Gummi an Even Break

Post by bunniefuu »

Dashing and daring


Courageous and caring


Faithful and friendly
With stories to share


All through the forest
They sing out in chorus


Marching along
As their song fills the air


Gummi Bears


Bouncing here and there
And everywhere


High adventure
That's beyond compare


They are the Gummi Bears


Magic and mystery
Are part of their history


Along with the secret
Of gummiberry juice


Their legend is growing
They take pride in knowing


They'll fight
For what's right


In whatever they do


Gummi Bears


Bouncing here and there
And everywhere


High adventure
That's beyond compare


They are the Gummi Bears


They are the Gummi Bears


Hang in there, guys.


I'll save you.


Because if I don't,


I won't be eating any cream
of tomato pudding this week.


Tummi, darling, can you help me
bring a couple of berry bushels


down to the pantry?


Sure, Grammi.


As long as it's just...


a couple?


Whew.


Glad that's over.


-Now back to my--
-[Sunni] Oh, Tummi.


Could you help me
wrap this present for Calla?


But my tomatoes.


Please!


Hmm. I think the blue ribbon
will go better after all.


Got another second,
Tummi?


-But, Sunni--
-[Gruffi] Say, Tummi,


when you're through,
can you help me unclog the sink?


Well, not really.


But sure.


Oh, no!


I'm too late.


Now, what's the trouble,
Tummi?


My dessert's ruined,


all because I spent the whole
day helping everybody else.


Well, you know, Tummi,


sometimes you have
to just say no.


You're right, Zummi.


I'm not going to be
a pushover anymore.


Good for you, Tummi.


Oh, by the way,
I'm copying several new spells.


And I'm almost out of ink.


Would you mind getting
some indigo root for me?


Sure.


I did it again.


Why can't I just say no?


Well, now I can finally
get back to my tomatoes.


[sniffs]


After I find out
what smells so good, that is.


My nose was right.


[indistinct murmuring]


This place bears
looking into.


-[indistinct mumbling]
-Uh-oh.


Welcome, Brother.


You must be new here.


I'm Abbot Costello.


Uh, pleased to meet you.


Why, you'll love
Thelonius Abbey, dear friend.


Within these walls,
peace is not just a word.


It's a way of life.


[Tummi]
That sounds wonderful.


Why don't you have
some food and stay a while.


Well, uh... sure.


[monks]
Alms for the poor.


Alms for the poor.


Ah, I love the smell
of freedom.


We've got to find some cover


before the dungeon guards
catch up with us.


[Tummi]
Ah.


This is the life.


But I'd better get back
before anyone finds out


-that I'm a Gummi--
-Excuse me, Brother.


Three monks are coming
to visit us today.


Would you please give them
a lift from town?


Why, uh...sure.


Ah, this water is heavenly,
Prior Richard.


True, Brother Everly.


Helping the poor
can be a dusty vocation.


So, it's important we tidy up
before moving on to the abbey.


I just wish we could
stay here all day.


Stay as long as you like,
brothers,


because me and my boys
are going to lighten your load.


[Tuck] Shouldn't we go while
the getting's good, Clutch?


Don't sweat it.


We're as good as invisible
in these monk suits.


[woman]
Yoo-hoo!


-Here.
-Look out!


Take this.


What was that
all about?


I don't know. But we didn't
even say "stick 'em up".


Excuse me, I do hope
that's enough.


[Clutch]
No, it's not, buddy.


Now, what's going on?


Just money for the poor,
Friar.


Oh, you mean
like a handout?


-Uh-huh.
-Hey.


We got a good thing here.
Right, Friar Tuck?


Yeah.


Alms for the poor.


[all] Alms for the poor.
Alms for the poor.


Me and my big mouth.


Why did I say "sure" again?


Maybe I should just
go home right now.


[Clutch]
Hey, fatso! I mean, Friar.


Give us a lift,
and step on it.


[Tummi]
Uh, sure.


Oh, I'm so glad you could
join us, brothers.


By the way, where did you stay
before coming to the home


of the Thelonius monks?


The slammer.


Ow!


He means, Slammer Abbey.


Hmm. Well, I've never heard
of that one before.


Where's the grub? I'm so hungry,
I could eat a horse.


Trust me, the food's worth
waiting for.


[Tuck]
Bread and water?


Must be the chef
from the slammer.


But where's
the monkfish pâté?


And the most holy
macaroni and cheese?


We are beginning a -day
bread-and-water fast, Brother.


Bear with us,


and ye shall reap
the benefits.


We're going to reap
some benefits, all right.


Tonight.


-[stomach growling]
-Settle down, stomach.


As soon as I get
a midnight snack,


we'll be on our way.


[indistinct chattering]


Uh, nice night
for a nibble, huh?


Blast it!


A food monitor!


Can I put him
back to bed, Clutch?


Yeah, and I'll tuck him in.


[Clutch]
Quiet, ham heads,


or it'll be lights out for you.


He's our driver,
remember?


With him at the wheel,
we'll have more hands free


to carry the loot.


Maybe I should be going.


Listen, Brother,


share and share alike,
I always say.


Now you just wait here
while we collect some alms, see?


[Tummi]
All right.


Alms for the poor.


But we already gave.


It wasn't enough.


They're still poor.


[screams]


[objects crashing]


[all laughing]


Boy, that's a lot of alms.


Something's not right.


These monks are going
overboard.


Yes?


Give us your alms,
or else.


Or else what?


Or else it's nuts to you.


Excuse me, Brother, but do you
think it's a good idea


to wake people up this late
at night and take their things?


Look, we're not asking you
to think.


We're telling you to drive.


So drive! Got it?


Uh, sure.


I mean, no.


What did you say?


I said, no.


Hey, I actually said no.


I'm happy for you.


Now you can say
"Don't sh**t".


Trolls.


I thought you guys
were a little greedy for monks.


So long, sucker.


You little cheats.


[all laugh]


-[whinnies]
-[Clutch] Floor it!


Now I've got you,
you felonious monk.


Hmm. That's the last time I buy
cookies from their bake sale.


[Tummi]
Hope I'm not too late.


Those monks
could be in trouble.


Oh, no.


Faster, Friar.


Dance! Dance!


[cackles]


[trolls]
More grub! More grub!


[Nip]
Hurry up, slowpoke.


[panting]


[Tuck]
Now, bring us dessert.


Coming right up.


Hey, Tuck, I don't think there's
enough icing on the cake.


Yeah. We want more icing.


Okay.


Ask and you shall receive.


All right, monk.
Say your prayers.


Take that,
you unholy hooligan.


I've had it with you
pious punks.


En garde.


Let's get Brother Chubs.


Let me at him.


It's time to repent, boys.


-Oh!
-Holy cow!


[Clutch grunts]


Help!


I hear you, Brother.


Meet your maker, monk.


What?!


Now that's what I call
giving them their daily bread.


[all screaming]


[loud crash]


What happened?


We've been rolled,


you half-baked
nincompoop.


Well, at least we're safe.


Want a bet?


Here's a donation
you'll never forget.


[all scream]


[Costello]
Thank you for restoring
order to the order, Brother.


I pray that you will
stay with us forever.


Uh, thanks for the invitation,
Abbot,


but this time I think
I have to say...


No.


I'm sorry, Zummi,


but I don't have time
to look for wily ivy right now.


My garden needs me.


Well, that's all right,
Tummi.


Maybe Cubbi
can help me.


Hey, it's not so hard
to say no after all.


Especially, when I got
my own work to do.


[Grammi]
Oh, so you're busy.


Then I guess you don't have time
to taste my new ragweed pie.


[gasps]


[Tummi]
Wait!


There are still some things
I can't say no to.


[Grammi humming]


[slurps]


Ooh, needs a pinch more
dandyspice.


-Ah, this should--
-Boo!


Oh!


[laughing]


Fooled you.


Cubbi, you scared
the daylights out of me.


And just look
at this mess.


Sorry, Grammi.


You should know better
than to sneak up on other bears.


It's not very nice.


I promise I'll never
do it again, Grammi.


Bye!


Oh, that little scamp.


Always up to no good.


[Gruffi]
That's for sure.


[Grammi]
Gruffi.


You may have made
those gummipops, Grammi,


but these two made
a real sucker out of you.


We couldn't help ourselves,
Grammi.


These pops are yummy.


Oh, don't be so hard
on them, Gruffi.


After all, my cooking
is hard to resist.


And even harder
to swallow.


Now, run along, you two.
I've got work to do.


Okay, Grammi.


Know what your problem is?


You're too soft-hearted.
Oof!


Better than being
hardheaded,


like some bears I know.


Now I got to go pick
some more dandyspice


from the royal garden
in Dunwyn.


Without it, my dinner
will be ruined.


Hmm, how could
anybody tell?


[crickets chirping]


There, that ought
to be enough.


[indistinct chattering]


[man]
Ladies and gentlemen,


step right up and feast your
eyes on the greatest attraction


this side of Dunwyn.


For you viewing pleasure,


I present a real-live
Gummi Bear.


[all gasp]


Ooh!


[gasps]


I always thought
they were fairy tales.


[whip cracks]


I'm a little Gummi


I'm happy as can be


I love to sing and dance
For you


Tweedle-deedle-dee


[applause and cheering]


Somebody should help
that poor bear.


And that somebody is me.


[snickers]


What a bunch of suckers.


Some people will fall
for anything.


Now get me some water.


I'm sweating
like a pixie.


Hmm. It's getting so you can't
make a dishonest day's living.


Here you are, boss.


What took you so long?


We've got another show
to do.


And this time,
get me a bigger audience.


[barker]
Whatever you say, boss.


Oh, are you trying
to horn in on my act, sister?


Well, forget it.
I work alone.


Trust me.
I'm here to help.


[Carni]
Hey, let me go.


What's the big idea?


Oof!


You can thank me later.


Just who do you think
you are?


Welcome to Gummi Glen.


This can't be real.


Well, of course it is.


Now, you make yourself at home
while I go get the others.


I got to get out of here.


Wait a minute.


Those are real Gummi Bears.


Wasn't there a legend
about Gummis


hoarding treasure
or something?


Yeah, maybe I'll just play along
for a while.


There might be something
in this for me.


Where are you from?


How did they catch you?


Did they really make you wear
that awful costume?


What's wrong
with my costume?


Say, what's your name,
anyway?


My name?


Uh...


Carni. Yeah, that's it.


I'm Carni Gummi.


Oh, quit pestering
the poor dear.


He probably hasn't had a good
home-cooked meal in years.


[gulps]


[coughs]


My... how tasty.


Have you gone soft
in the head, Grammi?


You can't just let any old
stranger into our home.


But he's not any old stranger,
Gruffi.


He's a Gummi Bear.


Yeah, I know.


But we don't know anything
about him.


We know he likes
my cooking.


I can't put
my finger on it,


but there's something strange
about that bear.


[grunts]


That Gummi's cooking
could gag a gremlin.


I thought I'd never
get away.


Now, to find
that treasure.


[door opens]


[Grammi]
Oh, there you are, Carni.


Where have you been?


Gathering these for you,
my dear.


You shouldn't have.


Picking pansies
might have been all right


where you come from, Carni,


but around here we work.


And if you want
to be part of this glen,


you will too.


Starting now.


Cleaning? No problem.


When I find their treasure,
I'll clean up but good.


[laughs]


This is a bust.


That treasure's got to be
around here somewhere.


Hmm, this might
be valuable.


I knew it.


Diamonds, emeralds,
rubies, gold!


What are you talking about,
Carni?


The treasure.
You said it was valuable.


But that's not
what I meant.


I was talking about
this spell that I found.


What? No treasure?


Oh, no, no, no.


This book is our greatest
treasure.


It's filled with ancient
Gummi wisdom.


Gummi wisdom. Bah!


What good is that?


There's no treasure
in this dump.


Just a bunch
of Gummi Bears.


That's it.


Why didn't I
think of it before?


Why, the only thing valuable
around here


is Gummis.


[laughs]
Behold...


Carni's amazing,
impossible escape box.


[all] Wow!


Are you ready?


Ready, boss.


How does it work, Carni?


Well, first I need
a volunteer.


Me! Me! Me!


Your wish is my command.


Nothing up my sleeves.


One, two, three.


Wow. How'd you do that?


[laughs]
It's easy.


Want to try?


You bet.


Some impossible
escape box.


Well, it worked,
didn't it?


We can't escape.


[Grammi]
Get your paws off me, you thug!


Help! Help!


No problem. I'll help.


What are you doing, Carni?


Putting you with
the rest of the act.


Oh, no, you're not.


[yells and grunts]


Great Gummi!


You're nothing but an elf
in bear's clothing.


There's a sucker
born every minute.


And I just caught six.


[laughs]


Hey, no fair.


Let go.


I'm not going to let you
break up the act, lady.


[all grunt]


Whoa!


Ah, forget that old bear.


We got more than enough Gummis
to make us rich.


If only I hadn't been
so trusting.


I'm just a soft-hearted
old fool.


Wait a minute.


Maybe two can play
this game.


[indistinct chattering]


[laughs]


This time, these patsies
will get what they paid for.


It's show time,
Gummi Bears.


No. This is humiliating,
and we won't do it.


Oh, yeah?


Ten lashes says you will.


[Grammi]
Oh, Carni!


[all]
What?


Since you like my cooking
so much,


why don't we trade?


Release my friends,


and this marplenut pie
is all yours.


Grammi, have you lost
all your gummiberries?


Oh, you've got a deal, lady.


I knew you'd listen
to reason.


[grunts]


Here, ding-a-ling.
This bell's for you.


[chuckles]


Now the whole world
will know


that Gummis are not just
fairy tales.


How could you let that bogus
bear fool you twice, Grammi?


You'll never learn.


Oh, I've learned,
all right.


You just trust me
and play along.


Welcome, ladies
and gentlemen.


Without further delay,
may I present...


the family Gummi.


-[all cheer]
-Look, Mommy, Gummi Bears.


We are the family Gummi


We're happy as can be


We love to dance
And sing for you


Whoa!


Watch it, fur face!


[all laugh and applaud]


Oh, yeah?


-Whoa!
-[all gasp]


Hey, that wasn't
in rehearsal.


It's a fake.


Those aren't
real Gummi Bears.


Time to get this show
on the road.


[whinnies]


Hold on to your hats.


[Gummis]
Whoa!


Boss, watch out for that pig.


[loud crash]


[Cubbi]
So long, sucker.


There goes our meal ticket.


-[crowd shouting]
-And here comes trouble.


We're marking this burg off of
our tour schedule permanently!


We really brought down
the house on those two.


We should have
trusted you, Grammi.


That was pretty clever.


Yeah, well, maybe you're not
as foolish as I thought.


That's right, Gruffi.


From now on,


this bear is nobody's fool.


[laughs]
