I don't see Teddy anywhere.

Oh, my!

Oh, my! That salesman!

It's-- It's Tweeg!

I see Teddy.

Oh, my. I just hope Tweeg doesn't see him.

Sometimes my brilliance astounds even me.

L.B.!

Get in here, you horn-headed thick-wit!

You squealed, Tweef?

Fetch me some more empty bottles from that basket in the corner.

Before I tie a knot in your tail.

L.B., get this, L.B., get that.

The only thing I don't get around here is paid.

Heavens to Grundo!

Uh, hello!

Uh, yoo-hoo! Hello!

Hello there, mister salesman's, uh, assistant.

I would like to purchase, uh,

twenty bottles of your tweezle remedy, please.

L.B.: You got another customer, Tweep.

Well, whoever it is, get rid of them.

Well, can we purchase our 20 bottles?

Forget it.

The boss can't be bothered with such a paltry order.

Gimmick: Oh, dear.

That's most, uh, disappointing.

L.B.: That's "tweezle-biz."

Teddy: So, you see, Wooly,

there's really no such disease as the tweezles.

It's just one of Tweeg's tricks to make money.

Then why are you guys such funny colors?

Because we drank some of the lemonade

that Tweeg made

from Rainbow Falls water.

The so-called tweezle remedy

is made from Falls water, too.

Teddy: We need to make Tweeg stop selling his fake medicine.

Grubby: And to give back all the money

he's swindled from everyone.

Gimmick: Maybe we could, uh, uh--

No, I guess not.

Say, Wooly,

don't you think this ruby is kind of valuable

to leave lying around like that?

Ruby? What ruby?

Hmm.

The crystalline structure is similar.

I can see how you might have made that mistake, Grubby.

I'm afraid this is quite worthless.

Wooly, where did you get this?

Up above Rainbow Falls.

Are there more rocks like this?

Oh, yeah!

[jabbering] Lots of them!

If my guess is right,

this rock might just be the answer to our problem.

According to my calculations,

Wooly should be arriving in about an hour.

[Wooly jabbering]

Here I am, fellas!

Well, you got the day right.

I'm getting pretty good at climbing up here.

You sure are, Wooly.

Now can you show us where you found that rock?

I think so. This way.

Teddy, how can you be sure this play of yours is gonna work?

Because it's based on Tweeg's biggest weakness.

You mean his brain?

No, Grubby, I mean his greed.

From the increase in size and formation of these colored stones,

I would say that their source must be, uh,

there!

Teddy: That's great, Gimmick.

This cave is the source of these stones,

and the water for Rainbow Falls.

All right, Wooly, find the biggest rock

you can carry and bring it back here.

We'll use it to block the mouth of this cave.

Okay, guys.

You can count on me.

One giant-sized rock, coming up!

[jabbering]

Let's go inside.

It's beautiful.

Why, this is most unusual.

The color is actually running.

Gimmick: The stones must account for

the brightly-colored water of Rainbow Falls.

It's like a room full of rainbows!

Teddy: ♪ Imagine a room full of rainbows ♪

♪ Raining colors like you've never seen ♪

♪ The water is red, yellow, purple, and gold ♪

♪ And the walls are pink, silver, and green ♪

♪ And each thing that you touch ♪

♪ Is a rainbow ♪

♪ Put one in your pocket ♪

♪ Take it with you ♪

♪ Then, when you're home ♪

♪ You'll have something that's new ♪

♪ A room full of rainbows ♪

♪ Beautiful rainbows ♪

♪ A room full of rainbows ♪

♪ Too ♪

Whoa! Whoa!

Wh-- Whoa!

[thuds]

[jabbering]

[groans]

[jabbering]

Get the prettiest ones you can find.

This looks like a good one.

Hey, isn't this water getting kind of deep?

Gimmick: Oh, my! It does seem to be rising.

Maybe we should leave now, just to be on the safe side.

Uh, yes.

I think we've collected enough rainbow stones

for your, uh, plan.

[groans]

Oof!

Ooh!

[jabbers]

Teddy: No wonder the water is rising--

The entrance is blocked.

And it's rising at a rather alarming rate!

Gee, Teddy, what are we gonna do?

See if you can move that purple rock.

Eh! Ooh!

[groaning]

Ow!

Ooh! Ooh!

Something's poking me!

Doesn't this rock seem kind of hairy?

Why, yes.

It must be some sort of furry limestone,

a very rare mineral formation indeed.

I must record this, uh, discovery.

If we ever get out of here.

Huh?

Wooly: Oh!

[jabbering]

What's going on back there?

Whoa!

A water monster!

It's attacking me!

I'll help you, Grubby.

[gasping for air]

Thanks, Teddy.

First, hairy rocks, and now water monsters.

This is turning into a really weird day.

A hairy rock?

Wait a minute!

[inhales]

I think a minute's about all we got left.

It's not a rock blocking the entrance.

It's Wooly!

Quick, let's tickle him!

[laughing]

[rumbling]

Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa!

H-- Help!

Hurry up! We gotta help Teddy!

H-- Help!

Whoa!

H-- Help !

Help!

Grubby: We're coming, Teddy!

[jabbering]

Hang on, Teddy!

Thank goodness for roots.

That's what I always say.

Ha ha!

Gimmick: So far, this plan of yours

has certainly provided some exciting,

uh, moments, Teddy.

Okay, I blocked off the water with that rock,

just like you told me to.

He he he. Splendid!

That means Tweeg won't be able to get any more water

from, uh, Rainbow Falls,

unless he has an airship to get up here.

Or a friend like Wooly. Thanks for rescuing me.

Oh, that's okay!

There's one more thing you could do for us, Wooly.

Sure! What is it?

Tell the Grunges and Fobs about our plan,

and don't forget Leota.

Sure thing, Teddy.

But if our little trick is going to work,

Tweeg and the Bounders can't know a thing.

It's got to be a secret.

Teddy: Is that comfortable, Grubby?

Feels just fine, Teddy.

Boy, this machine of Gimmick's

sure looks like it does something.

It's just the thing for our trick on Tweeg.

Now all we need are some disguises

and we can put our plan into action.

Rich! I'm rich!

Ha ha ha ha!

I already have more than enough to pay my M.A.V.O. dues.

And tomorrow I'll sell more remedy.

With every drop those idiots drink,

the tweezles get worse.

More remedy, more tweezles.

More tweezles, more money!

Soon M.A.V.O. will be begging me

to become their Supreme Oppressor.

Perhaps Mommy would enjoy the gloom of the West Wing.

-[knocking] -L.B., see who's at the door.

L.B.?

Bah! There's never a Bounder around when you need one.

Who are you?

Permit me to introduce myself.

My name is, uh, Potts.

Crackatus Potts.

Famed, uh, uh-- explorer.

Doubtless you've heard of me.

No, I haven't. Go away.

That's strange.

All the great persons of science

uh, have been familiar with my,

-[laughing] -uh, explorations.

Great persons of science?

Oh, of course. Now I recognize you.

This is my, uh, assistant, Otto.

And this is our, uh, Octo-clutz.

A very useful beast of burden.

Grubby: Octo-clutz?

Shh!

We have come to discuss a matter

that we believe will be of interest to you.

It concerns, uh, money.

Why didn't you say so before?

Come on in!

Are you quite sure it's safe to, uh,

talk here?

Of course it's safe, you idiot.

I mean... I believe so.

Professor Tweed,

we are in search of the colored water

that made Grundo famous.

If you will help us in our search,

we will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams.

Would you permit a small demonstration?

Observe.

When red water is placed in this, uh, funnel...

[chirping]

[beeps]

[ding]

...a ruby is produced.

That's amazing.

[laughs]

That's not all.

With green water...

We get an emerald.

Absolutely incredible!

Using this machine,

we have made, uh, all of these.

It's wonderful! It's marvelous!

It's-- It's-- It's... money!

[laughs]

I must have it.

Gimmick: So, you see, Professor,

I was wondering if you could direct us

to a source of, uh,

of colored water.

Unfortunately, we've run completely out of it.

Alas, I have some tragic news.

It seems that every drop of rainbow water

disappeared from Grundo years ago.

It was a national tragedy.

What? No rainbow water?

Oh, I paid a bundle for this incredible device

and now... I have nothing.

-Nothing... -[Teddy laughs]

My apologies, Professor.

I'm afraid I got carried away.

Perhaps I can help.

You see, I happen to be a collector of these useless devices.

Would you consider selling me this totally worthless machine?

Well, uh, I don't know.

Come now, name your price.

Uh... four bags of flour, two bottles of buttermilk,

and ten pieces of copper.

Done.

You certainly drive a hard bargain.

Ha ha ha!

This is a new record for me.

Two great swindles in 48 hours.

First I'll make a mountain of rubies.

Then I'll make a mountain of emeralds.

Then--

The water!

It's gone!

Where is all the water?!

[giggling]

Okay, Fuzz... now!

You there, Fobs. Where has all the water gone?

Rainbow Falls has dried up.

Yup, that's right

-All gone. -Dry as a bone.

That's why we're leaving.

No more rainbow water.

Time to move on.

What? No rainbow water?

I paid a bundle for that stupid device

and now...

I have nothing!

Nothing!

[crying]

Why, me?

[crying]

Why is it always me?!

The tweezle remedy.

That's it.

I must buy back all the tweezle remedy from the village.

So, you see, folks, I've decided to, um,

recall Uncle Arnie's Old Fashioned Tweezle Remedy.

I'll buy it back at the same price you paid.

Step right up!

Like, why are you recalling it?

I like calling it "Uncle Arnie's."

No, I'm taking it back, uh,

because it doesn't work.

Hey, sure it does, man.

Like, I washed this shirt in it,

and look, man.

-Oh, wow! -Radical!

-Tubular! -Awesome, man.

What? You wasted that water--

uh, remedy-- on your laundry?

You feeble-minded...

I'll offer twice what you paid.

No way, man!

Check this out.

Ooh! Wow!

All right, all right. I'll buy it back

at... triple the price.

[all talking at once]

You're sure that's everything?

That's it, the whole ball of wax.

L.B., what's going on?

If you're talking about the wagon... everything!

What are you doing with all my furniture?

Since you haven't paid your dues,

M.A.V.O. is repossessing your household effects.

You can't take my things away!

She'd better. Me and the boys ain't putting it back.

Those stairs are murder.

Bounder: Yeah, you tell them, L.B.

Those are the rules, Mr. Tweeg.

If you won't pay your dues, we take everything away!

"Won't pay"?

Watch this, you lame-brained lackey.

[humming impatiently]

As soon as I'm made the new Supreme Oppressor,

I'll have you collecting garbage in Ying.

[gasps]

I-- I don't understand.

It was working perfectly.

L.B., you must have broken it.

Oh, that's right, blame it on me.

But I tell you, it produces emeralds and rubies

from colored water!

Oh, Mr. Tweeg!

Always the comedian.

Have a nice day.

Wait, look at these.

Marvelous. Those will do nicely,

Mr. Tweeg.

See you at the next meeting.

Blast it!

These things never work when you need them.

Ow!

Grubby: Gee, Teddy, your plan really worked.

Looks like Teddy was right.

Tweeg's greed got the better of him.

And best of all,

everybody got their money back.

Grubby: They sure did.

Thanks to that great idea Teddy dreamed up.

I guess it just goes to show

it's better to be a dreamer

than a schemer.
