06x14 - Rocking Chair Bear

[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


[Lady Bane]
Now remember, in just two days,


Ethelyn and Emmadril
will be here


for the annual meeting
of the Sorceress Society.


Every inch of this castle
must gleam.


And I want to see my face in
that floor before you're done.


[Troggles]
Done! Done!


Already?


[gasps]


No. It can't be.


A wrinkle!


[both]
Wrinkle! Wrinkle!


Stop that,
you little fiends!


This means my beauty spell
is wearing off.


Once every hundred years,


I must sap the youth
from some unsuspecting victim.


Unless I find one
by tomorrow morning,


I'll turn into a
thousand-year-old crone!


[both]
Crone! Crone!


Hold your tongues!


[teeth chattering]


And haven't I told you
never to touch my makeup?


[both yelp]


I can't let the
other sorceresses


see me looking
my true age.


Get my carriage!


-Whoa!
-Whoa!


[both chattering]


We've got to find some sweet,
young thing.


[giggling]


This'll be a cinch.


Ah-ha. Caught you
bare-handed.


[gasps]
Cubbi!


[Cubbi]
No one captures
Sir Cubbi's flag.


Oh, yeah?


I'll snag your flag
as easy as jumping over a log.


[Cubbi]
Oh, Sunni, you're all wet.


-Or you're going to be.
-That's what you think.


Whoa!


Now for that flag.


Oh, no, you don't.


Hey, how'd you get back
so fast?


I know all the shortcuts
around this forest.


Well, if you're so smart,
what's big and green


and has legs?


I don't know, what?


I don't know either,


but it's on your shoulder.


-Where? Where?
-[laughs] Fooled you!


Hey, no fair.
Come back with my flag.


[muffled shouting]


[overlapped arguing]


Ow!


Hold it right there.


Don't move a muscle.


-Gusto?
-Gusto?


[Gusto]
Oh, I just love that effect.


How impressionistic.


How avant-garde.


How aerobic.


But that old Gummi logo
sure could use a face-lift.


Sorry, Gusto.
We didn't see you.


[laughs]
Hey!


No problem.


Seeing you two
tear up the turf


reminds me of games I played
when I was kid.


[Sunni]
Oh, I'm not playing games.


I'm just taking care
of Cubbi.


But I'd much rather
pose for you.


Yeah, well, I'm afraid
you're still a little green


around the edges,
Sunners.


But, hey,
in a few years


you'll be just
what the artist ordered.


Meantime, I am
totally consumed


by my latest
and greatest project.


Ta-da! Hold the applause.


Don't worry, we will.


Um, what's it supposed to be?


I'm calling it
dots on an abstract surface.


Doesn't it just scream
to be immortalized in stone?


Funny, I don't hear anything.


No kidding.
So, Gruffamundo,


will you and Tum-Tum tag along
to the old quarry


and help me bring back
a suitable chunk of marble?


Why would you want to ruin
a perfectly good piece of stone?


It's better than ruining


a perfectly good lump
of bread dough.


Good point.


Oh, boy.
Can I come?


Ooh, I don't know,
little pal.


It could be dangerous.


[Gruffi]
Gusto's right.


We'll be crossing
Shadow Forest,


and that's no place
for kids.


You heard Gruffi.


You've got to stay home
for your own good.


Yeah, and that goes
for you too, Sunni.


Me? But, Gruffi!


Look, I know how
you feel, kid,


but it's just not safe.


Maybe when you're bigger.


Oh, I'm sick and tired
of being treated like a child.


I'm not a kid!


And I'm going after them
to prove it.


-[crickets chirping]
-[frogs croaking]


Gusto wasn't kidding.


This isn't a very
friendly place.


[bird caws]


[indistinct chattering]


[owl hoots]


[gasps]


Ooh, what was that?


-[screams]
-[squirrel chittering]


Oh, boy.


You scared the daylights
out of me.


Hey, come back!


[indistinct chattering]


Whoa!


Troggles!


[Lady Bane]
Oh, what's taking


those miserable Troggles
so long?


I'm getting older
by the minute.


[chattering]


Stop that! Put me down!
Whoa!


Well, well,


a young Gummi Bear.


Lady Bane?
Ew, what happened to you?


Nothing to worry about,
my dear.


It's just a temporary
infirmity.


Load her into the carriage.


She'll be perfect.


[Troggles]
Perfect. Perfect.


No!


[Lady Bane]
Paws off!


You rip that silk,


and I'll make a fur collar
out of you!


Let go!


Aah!


Whoa!


Grab her, you fools!


[Troggles]
Fools! Fools!


Time for some
gummiberry juice.


[indistinct chattering]


[gulping]


Hey!


I've got to find a way
to shake this excess baggage.


Ouch!


Whew!


Talk about escaping
by a hair.


Oh, but now I'll never catch up
to Gusto and the others.


My patience is wearing thin.


If your friends don't bring
that bear back soon,


I'll dream up a punishment


that will boggle
your little Troggle minds.


Well, have you come back
empty-handed too?


Give me one good reason
I shouldn't turn you


into hors d'oeuvres and--


[gasps]
Give me that!


So, you finally
did something right.


That brat's hair
is all I need.


Take me back to the castle,
and hurry.


Every minute we linger


feels like a hundred years.


[Grammi]
Strange, I haven't
seen Sunni all night.


It's not like her
to miss dinner.


There she is.


Snug as a bug in a rug.


I know you were disappointed
Gruffi left you behind,


but things always
look different in the morning.


[door closes]


Why should youth be wasted
on the young,


when it looks so much better
on me?


"Turn back the clock
forevermore.


With this hair,
my youth restore."


The spell, it's working!


By tomorrow morning


I'll feel years younger,


thanks to that Gummi Bear.


[cackles]


That trip to the quarries
gave me a bear of an appetite.


Hey, leave some for me.


I, Sir Flapjack, order you
to surrender the syrup.


[Sunni]
Morning, everyone.


Hey, you look different
this morning, Sunni.


Maybe it's my dress.


I can barely
squeeze into it.


Don't tell me Grammi
shrunk it in the wash.


Oh, no, you old foof.


She's been growing up
before our eyes,


and we haven't
even noticed.


By gum, you're right.


And just yesterday,
she seemed like such a kid.


[Grammi]
You know, pumpkin,


I think you're finally old
enough to wear some clothes


I've been saving for you.


[Sunni]
Really, Grammi?


There.


When I was your age,


I wore this to the festival
of the first gummiberry.


Maybe if I wear it,


Gusto will finally
pay some attention to me.


[gasps]


Say, sweetie, when you stop
prancing around here,


I could use some help.


You want my help?


Sure. I'm fixing up
some old Gummi furniture,


and I need
a woman's advice.


Well, I'll be right there,
Gruffi.


Those blue flowers
look great.


Thank you, Sunni.


But what color should we
paint the ones on the mirror?


Hmm.


How about russet and yellow,
like my dress?


Here, I'll show you
how it looks.


Hey, Sunni, want to go
for a ride?


Not now, Cubbi.


Can't you see I'm busy?


Great ride, huh?


Even better
than the quick cars.


Cubbi Gummi, I don't know how
I ever used to put up with you.


Phooey! Now that you're
grown up, you're no fun at all.


Would you two settle down?


Hey, hey, what's all
the commotion?


Whoa. Sun-Sun.
You look as pretty as a picture.


No, no, no, more than that.
A marble sculpture!


Hey, how about ditching
those posies


and doing a little posing?


You mean, right now?


Hey, got to strike
while the muse is hot.


Aren't you forgetting something?
Like the dressing table?


She'll catch you later, Gruff.
Ta-ta.


Hmm! Sunni may have the body
of an adult,


but she still has
the attention span of a kid.


That sweet hair of youth
is the finest one-stop


beauty treatment around.


No hair dyes.
No face-lifts.


No tummy tucks.


Uh...


Bungler!


How many times
have I told you


to be careful
around that crystal?


You know I can't stand
to have that hair out of place.


Now, get back to work!


Work! Work!


Oh, what sheer poetry.


My chisel is chomping
at the marble.


Can't you chomp
and faster?


My wings are getting
a charley horse. Squawk!


You think you're tired?


I didn't realize posing
was such hard work.


So how about giving
this babe and bird a break?


Hey, sorry, pal.


There's no stopping when my
creative juices are flowing.


[Sunni]
But, Gusto, I don't think I can
hold this pose anymore.


[coughs]


Sorry, Gusto.


That's okay, Sunners.


Time to hang up my chisel
for the night anyway.


You got to get some Z's.


Hey, wouldn't want
my favorite model


getting bags
under her eyes.


The way I'm feeling,


I'll probably get bags
under the bags.


Sunni, wake up.


Now, what's taking you
so long?


Gusto's already here
to fetch you.


Sorry, Grammi.


But I can't seem
to drag myself out of bed.


I guess I'm a little stiff
from all that posing.


Well, listen to you.


You sound like a broken-down
old lady.


[gasps]


Sakes alive!


You look like one too!


Oh, no!


Sunni's a grammi?


Don't tell me she's having
another growth spurt this time.


Maybe you ought to try
using some wrinkle cream.


I don't think that's going
to help, Tummi.


This just isn't natural.


Do you have any idea
how this happened, Sunni?


Well, not really.


But the other day,
I did run into Lady Bane.


-Lady Bane?
-Lady Bane?


Sunni, why didn't you
tell us?


Oh, it was no big deal.


Besides, all her troubles got
was some hair from my head.


Oh, dear. Oh, dear.


A sorceress can do
awful things


with even a strand of hair.


Oh, it's just
as I feared.


Lady Bane must have used Sunni's
hair to steal her youth.


And if we don't
get it back soon,


Sunni will be finished.


Don't worry, sweetie,
I'll find that hair


if I have to tear that witch's
castle apart stone by stone!


Hey, count me in,
Gruffamundo.


[Zummi]
Me too.


Wait. I'm coming too.


It's my hair.


No, Sunni.


You're too old.


Too old?


Oh, phooey.


Ethelyn!


Emmadril!


Darlings, it's so good
to see you.


Oh, Lady Bane,
you look wonderful.


Why, you haven't
changed a bit.


In fact, you look even younger
than last year.

::. --] ::. line:%,start
Yes, you must let us in
on your secret, dearie.


It's so simple,
you'd never believe it.


But enough of me.


Let us adjourn to the drawing
room for a cup of tea.


And you two can tell me
everything that's brewing.


Gummi Bears are brewing, lady,


and we're not leaving
without Sunni's hair.


Shh! Let's let
the poor thing sleep.


Sunni needs all the rest
she can get.


Yeah. She's not as young
as she used to be.


Ha! First I'm too young,
then I'm too old.


Well, I'm not
sitting around here


like some ancient
fuddy-duddy.


Oh, this is terrible!


I mean, humans have no taste
in home decor.


Now, what this
place needs, okay,


are some simple,
natural touches.


Forget the natural touches,
buster.


We're not here to decorate.


Hmm.


Lady Bane would most probably
keep that hair


near her spell books.


There it is.


Oh, my!


[exclaiming]


[Gruffi]
Uh-oh. Trouble!


You really must try
my recipe


for ticklewart pudding.


It's simply--


[expl*si*n]


[sighs]


It's so hard to get
good help these days.


Excuse me, girls.


I'll just be a minute.


[both snarling]


[grunts]


Hate to rain
on our parade, guys,


but if we don't get that hair,
it's curtains for Sunni.


Au contraire.


It's curtains for you.


[all]
Whoa!


[all grunt]


[muffled shouting]


I can hardly move.


Now I know how Grammi feels
after spring cleaning.


[grunts]


These doors weigh a ton.


How do you like
my Gummi Bear mobile?


[laughs]


Now don't go away,
dear friends.


As soon as
my other guests leave,


we'll discuss a certain great
book I'd like to borrow.


[Troggles chattering]


[all]
Sunni!


What are you doing here?


No time for that now,
Gruffi.


Just let me get you down.


Don't worry about us, kid.
Get the crystal.


Your hair's over there.


Give me a second
to catch my breath.


[Gruffi]
You haven't got a second.


[exclaiming]


Uh-oh.


Heavens!


What are those naughty little
Troggles of mine up to now?


-[objects crashing]
-When I find out,


I'll have their hearts
for this.


Just look at this mess!


Which one of you
nasty little creatures


dared disturb my things?


Oh, so it's you.


I suppose you came here
looking for your youth.


That's right, you witch.


Well, you'll never
get it back now.


Oh, yeah?


[grunts]


Tsk, tsk.
There, there.


Mustn't overexert yourself,
grandma.


Don't call me grandma.


Silly bear.


You really shouldn't
get so hung up


about losing one
little hair.


After all, at your age,
what's the difference?


Whoa!


Face it, dearie,


I'm just too smart for you.


Well, if you're so smart,


what's big and green
and has legs?


-I don't know.
-I don't know either.


But it's on
your shoulder!


[gasps]


Get it off me immediately!


You little vixen.
You tricked me.


And it was my treat.


Give me that hair.


Come and get it,
grandma.


Ooh, wait till I get
my hands on you.


It's going to be a long wait.


[muffled screams]


[Lady Bane]
Troggles! Where are you?


Help!


Got to hand it to you,
Sunnarino,


that was very creative.


Save the compliments
for later, Gusto.


We've got to go.


[both chattering]


[all gulping]


[Gusto]
Ciao, chumps!


You're too late,
you wretches.


They're gone.


[all]
Gone! Gone!


I must have the hair
of youth.


And since you let those bears
get away,


maybe I'll pluck
one of you instead.


[all shouting]


Lady Bane!


Whatever is going--?


[gasps]


[clucking tongue]


Oh, dear.


Shocking how
she's let herself go.


[Sunni]
Oh, it's so good to be home
safe and sound.


Thanks to your
quick thinking, Sunni.


I guess you're growing up
after all.


Yup, and I've got
the statue to prove it.


I'm calling it
the Once and Future Sunni.


I guess I'll have to wait
a few years to finish it.


Well, I'm not waiting years
to finish that dressing table.


I think Sunni's grown up enough
to help me right now.


Um, thanks, Gruffi,


but I promised Cubbi
I'd play Capture the Flag.


I want to enjoy being a kid
while I can.


[both shouting]


-[Cubbi] Give me that back.
-[Sunni] No...
