Gimmick: That's it, Teddy. Keep adding more, uh, fuel.

Teddy: Okay, Gimmick.

And, Grubby, keep turning that propeller.

I'd like to increase our velocity.

How come we're in such a hurry, Gimmick?

The Grunges have asked for our help.

It seems someone is stealing vegetables

from their, uh, garden.

I thought your crystal stethoscope

said Grunges were mellow.

How come they're getting upset over a few missing vegetables?

Well, these aren't ordinary Grunges, my boy.

These are Jungle Grunges.

And they're very concerned about the, uh, food they eat.

That's right.

Jungle Grunges grow their own vegetables

for their Grunge gumbo soup.

Yes, indeed.

♪ Now, Grunges love their gumbo soup ♪

♪ They eat it day and night ♪

♪ Grunge gumbo is the only thing that satisfies their appetite ♪

Grunge gumbo.

Grunge gumbo.

♪ Yummy, yummy gumbo ♪

Gimmick: Why, these vegetables are enormous.

It's easy to see why you're so proud of them.

Yeah, a veggie a day keeps the majoogies away.

Eating these is what keeps us so healthy.

Say, do you guys ever eat any roots?

Well, what do you mean exactly?

Tubers, taproots, or legumes?

Um, uh, hmm. Never mind.

Trina, look, the thieves have been at it again.

I see what you mean, Topper. Vegetable vandalism.

And look over there.

Now, that's downright mean.

Now you see why we asked for your help.

Yeah, vegetables are serious business.

I think I have the solution to your problem.

I call it the Newton Gimmick Intruder Incarcerator--

guaranteed to foil the most cunning veggie-nappers.

You see, we hook a rope to the top of a tree

and bend the tree to the ground,

and we attach the rope to the net.

Like this.

Is that all there is to it?

Just one more thing.

Never, never step into the net.

Like this.

-Look out! -Watch out.

Whoa!

[laughs] It worked!

Just like I said it would.

Boy, I gotta hand it to you, Gimmick.

Absolutely. It's just what we need.

It does work very well, Gimmick.

Now, uh, how do we get you down?

Down? Uh, uh, down...

I'm afraid I haven't worked that part out yet,

but I'm sure I'll think of something.

Why me? Oh!

Why is it always me?

L.B.: Oh, quit blubbering, Twink.

You're rusting the chain.

This is all your fault, L.B.

Imagine, sentenced to hard labor in the M.A.V.O. laundry--

the smelliest and most disgusting pit

in all of Grundo.

It ought to remind you of home. [laughs]

You know, I could almost stand being a prisoner

if I weren't shackled to a Bounder ball and chain.

How do you think I feel?

Being chained to a guy that looks like a striped zucchini.

Ooh! Are you calling me a vegetable?

Why not? You got the brain of a rutabaga.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I wonder what Buffy would say

if she could see her hero in convict's clothes.

[gasps] What?

[yelps]

You know, Buffy. [laughs]

That little red bean bag who thinks you're so cute.

That's it, Twicks.

I can put up with your petty insults,

but when you malign that paragon of bounding beauty,

you've gone too far.

Whoa!

[both grunting]

M.A.V.O. Rulebook, page 511-C

clearly states no bouncy-bouncy.

We were just on our way to your quaint little laundry.

Good. There's an extra large basket of dirty socks from Rancid Glottage

waiting just for you.

[groans]

Oh, uh, how nice.

It's always an honor to wash Member Glottage's socks.

The get moving.

Whoa!

I'll fix them. I'll fix them all!

I'll have my revenge, and one day I'll rule M.A.V.O.

as Supreme Oppressor.

Sure. I can see it now--

Tweek, the Green Meanie.

[laughs]

If we had another rope, we could lasso the tree top

and pull it down again.

Good idea, Teddy,

except Gimmick used the only rope we had.

Male voice: Help. Help!

Grubby: Don't panic, Gimmick. We're working on it.

Who's panicking? I'm quite comfortable.

Male voice: Oh, help please. Help.

Female voice: No, no, don't bother.

Male voice: Save us.

Female voice: Never mind. It's nothing really.

Hey, who's that talking?

It sure ain't us.

Well, I thought the voices came from over there.

You don't think those tomatoes are talking, do you, Teddy?

[laughs] I doubt it, Grubby.

But I'm sure those voices came from around here.

Do you see anything?

I think I see three Anythings.

This, That, and The Other.

Uh, is that you?

I mean, is this you? I mean, hello.

All: Hi, Teddy.

Hello, Grubby.

You're right, Teddy. It is the Anythings.

[laughs]

Whoa. What's going on?

Talking, uh, things?

Actually, Trina, they're Anythings.

This, That, The Other,

meet Trina and Topper.

Please don't pick us.

Unless, of course, you really want to.

What are you doing here?

Yeah, you fellas live in the Mushroom Forest.

That's true, but ever since you changed our names

from Nothings to Anythings,

we've been feeling lots braver.

That's right.

Brave enough to leave our home and explore the world.

Including this big vegetable patch.

And we found the most delicious vegetables in the world right here.

But this morning somebody else was here too.

These tomatoes look yummy.

These cucumbers look extra yummy.

And these carrots look mega yummy.

They'll taste great in our Grunge gumbo.

We changed into vegetables so we wouldn't be noticed.

But some of us got picked.

And carried off.

Well, why didn't you tell the Grunges

you weren't really vegetables?

Oh, we were too afraid.

Anythings: Oh, no... [crying]

So you're the ones who've been eating our vegetables?

Ooh, we didn't know they belonged to anyone.

Sorry.

But now our friends will be made into soup.

Gimmick: Quickly, lads. There's no time to waste.

Take the airship and fly to the Grunge village.

But, Gimmick, I'm not sure we can fly the airship without you.

Sure, we can, Teddy.

But what about you?

Don't worry about me.

Maybe these Grunges can find a, uh... a ladder

to get me out of this... this extremely clever trap.

Sure thing, Gimmick. What's a ladder?

Beats me.

Never mind me, lads.

Just get, uh, going!

Whatever you say, Gimmick. Let's go, Grubby.

Come on, fellas.

Okay, mateys, man the poop deck.

Gipper the mastheads,

and get ready to do some fancy flying.

[laughter]

Are you sure you know what you're doing, Grubby?

Sure, I'm sure.

[gulps] I think.

Well, here goes.

Mm. Mm!

Hooray!

Atta boy, Grubby. It's up! It's up!

Fly the bloopers. Avast the yardarm.

Batten down the whatchamacallit.

[laughs]

Gee, Teddy, it works.

Whoa!

All: Whoa!

Whoa!

Oh...

Is this supposed to happen?

I don't think so.

I feel sick.

Whoa!

Hang on, Grubby. I'll help you.

Or at least I'll try.

An inventive little chap, this Newton Gimmick,

as these stolen plans show.

Pity that he wastes his talent doing good in the world.

A terrible waste, Your Sliminess.

Tell me more about this Gimmick and the Illiop Ruxpin.

Very little is known.

We became aware of them only with the discovery of the crystals.

Aah! From the Hard to Find City.

That's all we know?

Actually, Your Horrorship,

the only guys around who had anything to do with them

are Tweeg and his Bounder companion.

Oh, no. Those two?

Well, I guess it can't be helped.

Have them brought before me.

I'm afraid we'll need their help.

Uh-oh!

Yow!

Oh, my gosh.

Psst. Are you an Anything?

Yes.

Quick, let's get out of here.

Are you a real cucumber?

-Hear that? -It's a song.

All: About soup!

Teddy: Don't worry. We won't let anything happen to your friends.

-Gumbo! -♪ The Grunges love their ♪

-♪ Yummy, yummy gumbo ♪ -[gasps] Oh!

Teddy: Stop!

That's not a potato!

Yeah, and that onion is our friend.

Ooh, poor guys.

Obviously suffering from a vitamin deficiency.

They should eat more vegetables.

Hey, you guys! Come down for lunch.

Teddy: Well, how do we land this thing, Grubby?

Grubby: I'm not sure.

We either loosen the whippersnapper...

Whoa!

Or gangway the gazebo.

Teddy: It's up to you Anythings to warn your friends.

-Hey, you Anythings! -You're going to be cooked!

If you don't speak up.

♪ Even if you're small and even if you're feeling scared ♪

♪ Don't let that stop you from speaking up ♪

♪ Say just how you feel and if somebody really cares ♪

♪ They will not stop you from speaking up ♪

♪ Speak up ♪

♪ When you think something's wrong ♪

♪ Speak up and be strong ♪

♪ Say "no" when it's the right thing to do ♪

♪ 'Cause nobody has more right than you ♪

♪ Say "stop" when you've had enough ♪

♪ Say no ♪

♪ You can be tough ♪

♪ Speak up ♪

♪ Until you have won ♪

♪ 'Cause you have as much right as anyone ♪

Ooh, catchy tune.

I'll speak up. Let's get cookin'. I'm hungry.

B-B-B-B-B-B-B...

[gasps] This onion just squeaked.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch...

So did my carrot. Aah! This potato's looking at me.

Look out!

-Aah! -Ooh! Oh.

[ship crashes]

Grubby: See, Teddy, I told you I could fly it.

You know, Grubby, you're sounding more like Gimmick all the time.

Precisely. Hee hee.

Uh, hi, guys. Glad you could drop in.

So, you see, they're not vegetables at all.

In fact, the Anythings can be, well, anything.

This one's This, and that one's, uh, That,

and the other one's, um, The Other.

And these are their three friends.

I'm Some.

I'm Another.

I'm One More.

You thought I was a potato.

Well, we knew potatoes had eyes.

But's the first time one ever actually looked at us.

[laughs] Yes, you guys give a new meaning

to the expression "vegging out."

We almost put you guys in the soup.

You Anythings should have spoken up sooner.

We were too afraid.

You should never be afraid to say something

if you think something wrong is happening to you.

Thanks, Teddy. We know that now.

Yeah, from now on, we're gonna...

All: Speak up!

Gimmick: Stop, I say. Halt!

Desist from cooking those creatures!

Are we in time? You haven't eaten anything, have you?

Yow!

[Gimmick thuds]

No. Everything's fine.

All: Hi, Mr. Gimmick.

Oh, thank heavens.

Are you all right, Gimmick?

Yeah, how did you get out of the trap?

Oh, I used my handy, portable,

all-purpose utility tool

and can opener to cut the net.

Grubby: You mean you used your jackknife?

Uh, yes, Grubby.

It was right in my pocket all the time.

But how did you get out of the tree?

Oh, uh, I applied the scientific law of gravitational necessity.

Uh, in other words... Yow!

I fell out! [laughs]

[all laugh]

I christen thee "Eclipse."

May all who sail you bring darkness, evil,

and general rottenness to the land.

[all cheer]

Tweeg, you may approach.

On behalf of my associate and myself,

may I say how grateful we are that you--

Oh, skip the speech, Tweeg. These are your orders.

You will steal Gimmick's airship and bring it to us

along with Gimmick and the Illiop, Ruxpin.

At once, your nastiness.

You can count on me.

I won't fail you.

Ha! [screams]

[both grunt]

That would be a nice change.

He's really got your number, Tweez.

[laughs]

Oh, shut up.
