Wizard: Thirty-six, 37, 38,

39, under-the-leg, 41,

42, 43, 44, 45,

46, 47, 48, 49...

Hey, Wiz, you going for the record?

...50.

Oh!

Ah, this is perfect!

The string is broken. So am I!

Ah, you're still not mooning over that

Wizard World fiasco, are you?

I can't help it. Everything reminds me of it.

Especially these--

empty pockets.

No sense crying over spilt milk.

It's a beautiful day. Why don't you take a walk or something, huh?

Forget it, Louie, I'm too depressed.

What you need is to throw a party.

A party? For whom?

For yourself, that's whom.

A party. Hmm.

Louie: We'll have party hats, cake, games...

You'll see. It'll be great.

Why, I do believe you're right.

Sure, we can invite your brother, the Sorcerer.

What?!

Oops, sorry. I wasn't thinking.

I think a party is the stupidest suggestion

I ever heard.

Suit yourself, Wiz.

I still think it's a terrific idea.

Do you got a coin?

Sorry, I don't loan money to bad risks.

I just need it to flip.

I think better when I flip something.

Here, catch.

This is a button!

Beggars can't be choosers.

Hey, Wiz, what's an 8-letter word meaning "celebration."

Don't bother me with crossword puzzles.

Can't you see I'm trying to think?

Louie: Okay, okay.

Oh!

Eight letters meaning "celebration."

I got it-- Festival!

Louie, that's it! A festival!

A huge celebration honoring all the wizards in Grundo.

-Huh? -We'll have games, events, prizes.

We'll charge admission and entry fees for competing teams.

We'll make a fortune.

I told you flipping helps me think.

I think you're the one who's flipped.

I tell you, it's a great idea.

One question-- How many wizards are there in Grundo?

Huh? Just me-- Ha!

I'll get all the attention,

all the glory, all the money!

Louie, take this down.

-Okay, shoot. -"Wizard Week, a stupendous opportunity

to demonstrate your skill and ability.

Don't miss this chance.."

Teddy: "...to win, win, win.

Entry fee: three pieces of copper per team."

Gimmick: Wizard Week!

That certainly sounds exciting.

Grubby: It sure does. What sort of events are there, Teddy?

Well, let's see. There's a water race, and air race,

and finally, there's a ground race covering most of Grundo.

And the winners get a big mystery prize.

Gimmick: Oh, my! He he. That's quite a challenge.

Gee, if we entered as a team, do you think we could win?

Well, I don't see why not, Grubby.

With me as the greatest inventor in Grundo,

and you two as the greatest, uh, assistants,

we can't lose! [laughs]

Then it's settled! We enter Wizard Week as a team.

I'll shake to that. [chuckles]

Wizard Week, huh?

A bunch of races and a big mystery prize.

Tweeg will want to read about this.

I better go steal a newspaper.

-Hey, Tweez! What's cooking? -[screams]

Oh, you klutz, now look what you've done.

Must you shout?

But I got some really big news for you.

Have you seen a Grundo Gazette yet?

Of course not.

What could possibly interest me in that rag?

Wizard Week, Tweep.

Races all over Grundo.

And a big mystery prize for the wining team.

Sounds pretty stupid to me.

That's not what Gimmick and his friends think.

Gimmick and his friends?

Yeah, they said they can't lose

because Gimmick is the greatest inventor

in Grundo.

What?! Give me that paper, Bubblehead.

-[spits] -Ah!

Why can't you hand things to people like everyone else?

'Cause I ain't got hands.

You always have an excuse, don't you?

Ah, here we are: "Win, win, win!

Big mystery prize."

Why, I could win that prize easily.

I don't know, Tweek,

that Gimmick guy is pretty smart.

Smart? Ha!

I'll show you smart.

There's a first time for everything.

We'll see who's the greatest inventor in Grundo.

That bifocaled billiard ball will be sorry he ever entered.

Take this to Gimmick and wait for an answer.

Ah!

Meanwhile, I've got work to do.

"Dear, uh, baldy.

So you think you can beat the real "greatest inventor in Grundo," do you?

I, Jack W. Tweeg,

challenge your team.

The loser leaves this valley forever."

[laughs]

"What do you say, skin-scalp?

If you're afraid to enter your junk, I understand.

Sincerely, Jack W. Tweeg, Esquire."

Baldy?!

Uh, skin-scalp?!

Uh, junk?!

He always did have a way with words.

You tell your boss that I, uh, accept

his, uh, challenge!

And tell him to pack his bags.

Whatever you say, Limerick.

That's, uh, Gimmick!

Newton, uh, Gimmick!

That's telling him, Gimmick.

Now, if you boys will excuse me,

I've got some, uh, inventing to do.

Ooh! Baldy!

Skin-scalp?!

I'll show that-- that green goof!

[grunts]

[all gasp]

[laughing]

[metal clanking]

[all gasp]

[crash]

[laughing]

Oh!

[laughing]

[jabbering]

-Oh! -Help!

That's right, folks.

Wizard Week starts tomorrow.

Hey! Tweedle!

Ow! Thunderation, L.B.

I thought I told you not to shout.

Well, you know how tough it is for us bubbleheads to ever learn anything.

Oh, never mind. What did Gimmick say?

He accepted your challenge.

Ha ha! Excellent! Excellent!

I'll finally have the chance to drive that little drip out of this valley forever.

I don't know, Twerp.

I still think Gimmick and his friends

are the team to beat.

They may be the team to beat,

but we're the team to cheat.

[laughing]

Gee, Grubby,

I've never seen Gimmick run around so much.

Yeah, the way he's moving, you'd think he had eight legs.

Ha ha.

It's not good for him to get worked up like this.

He's not thinking clearly.

What do you mean?

Well, this is the third time he's had us check this wheel.

Haven't you finished with that, eh, wheel yet?

I need you up here!

Uh, we're coming, Gimmick.

Yow!

That must have hurt.

Gimmick, maybe you'd better slow down a bit.

You're not getting anything done rushing around like this.

But the races!

The ship has to be, uh, ready,

and there's so much to do!

But getting upset isn't gonna help get things done.

You've got to relax.

Yeah, and work at your own pace.

That way, you'll enjoy the work.

And it won't cost you as many thumbs.

[laughing]

[crowd cheering]

Oh, boy! Everyone in Grundo must be here.

This is just what the Wiz needed.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before.

This is the greatest scam I've ever been part of.

Louie: And now, sports fans, our competitors.

I give you... the parade of Wizard Week contestants.

Boy, Grubby, this sure is a lot of fun.

Yeah, kind of makes you feel important.

[Wooly jabbering]

Hey, everybody!

Nice of you to come.

Super nice.

Super-duper nice!

-All right, man! -Woo-hoo-hoo!

Hey, root for us, man! Root for us!

Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.

The eyes of all Grundo are upon us, Aruzia.

I'm certain we won't disappoint them.

[crowd booing]

Do you hear that, Mummy?

Oh, they hate me.

Well-deserved respect for a great villain.

Too bad there ain't one here.

That's telling him, turnip-top.

They hate me, I tell you.

They hate me!

Oh, Louie?

Yeah, Wiz?

You may now bring out the cart with the huge giftwrapped prize.

Oh, uh, will I need help? Is it heavy?

Don't worry, you can handle it.

Good luck in the contest, Wooly.

Gee, that's awful nice, Teddy.

Uh, good luck to you too, fellas! [jabbering]

I hope your team does well, Aruzia.

My, what fine sportsmanship.

Thank you, Grubby.

On behalf of the royal family,

I'd like to wish your team all the best.

Gee, I feel like I've won something already.

Well, what is it, fur-face?

Uh, well, I suppose I should wish you good luck, too.

Oh, well, in that case...

...good luck to you too.

-[trumpets sounding] -[all exclaiming]

Look at the size of that prize.

It is quite enormous, isn't it?

I wonder what it is.

-♪ What will it be? ♪ -♪ I'm sure it's something neat ♪

-♪ I hope it's a book ♪ -♪ I hope it's something good to eat ♪

♪ Whatever it is, you won't believe your eyes ♪

So, what's in the box, Wiz?

♪ The same thing I bought you for your last birthday ♪

Oh, you mean there's nothing in there?

Exactly.

I'll get something eventually.

All we need now is the box.

You'd better get something in there in a hurry.

I wouldn't want to get any of them mad.

Especially the big, purple, furry guy.

Relax, Louie, I know exactly what I'm doing.

Let the games begin.

[cheering]

Louie [over P.A]: Will the teams please assemble for the three-legged race.

[laughing] I'm a genius.

An absolute genius.

Why is that, Boss?

A little dab of this hot-foot powder

in the others' running shoes

will guarantee that you two win.

-You mean-- But how? -Precisely!

While they all stop to rip off their shoes,

you and Buffy will bound over the finish line.

[laughing]

-[gasps] Step on it. -Whoa!

-Whoa! -Ugh!

Hey, come on, Buffy, move it! Goody eight-shoes is winning.

Hmm. Huh?

Ooh! Ooh! Ah!

[cries out]

-Wow! Wow! Wow! -[Fobs squealing]

Yikes!

Aw, that's better.

Aw!

Thanks.

Congratulations, Grubby. That was quite a race.

And you placed first and second.

Well, that's the advantage of having two sets of four legs.

[laughs]

Louie [over P.A.]: Contestants for the high jump, please.

Contestants for the high jump.

Why fool around? Let's put the bar as high as it will go.

Are you sure you wanna do this?

Of course I'm sure.

Are you nuts, Twank? I can't jump that high.

Of course you can, L.B., with the help of this.

L.B.: A balloon?

[laughs] Precisely.

Just stuff this in your mouth

bound up to the bar and float over.

How do I come back down?

Simple-- just bite the balloon.

Off you go.

That's high enough, L.B.

Now bite the balloon.

Ooh!

Remember, folks, this Wizard Week spectacular

is brought to you by your own special wizard,

so show him how much you care.

-[cheering] -Whoa!

-Oh! -Uh-oh!

[screams]

Yikes!

You won't be sticking around for long, will you?

Louie [over P.A.]: The obstacle course relay race

is about to begin.

Are you sure this is gonna work?

You ain't exactly known for being a great shot, Tweeb.

Don't worry. This time, I've calculated for height and wind direction.

What else is there?

There's got to be something.

There's nothing else, L.B.

Now, if you'll pull that lever, it's over the wall I go!

Okay, Boss.

[grunting]

Let's see. Height? Mm-hmm.

Wind direction? Mm-hmm.

And... oh yeah.

Whoa!

Now I remember-- distance.

[laughing]

Ha! Nobody can see me from here.

This is the perfect place to make up the time

my idiot son lost for us.

Hey, that's not fair.

What's your problem, Bub?

You're supposed to use the rope.

If you don't--

If I don't-- what?

Yow!

Whoa!

If you don't, then you can't get across the water.

Ha ha!

Phooey. At this rate, I'll never catch up.

Heavens to Grundo!

[laughing]

This is a flagrant violation

of all the rules of this contest,

you horrid little Bounder.

I know. [laughs]

Did you see what he, uh, did?

Like, don't worry, Newton.

Like, let the good times roll, dude.

Louie [over P.A.]: Gimmick's team and the Grunges

are tied for first in the obstacle course.

Tomorrow the water races will be held at Leekee Lake.

And remember,

Wizard Week is brought to you by your local wizard.

Today was certainly exciting.

I can't help but wonder

why we never had a festival like this before.

Neither can I.

I guess it wouldn't be fair if me and Teddy and Gimmick

won every year. Ha ha.

Well, I think day one went rather well.

Don't you, Louie?

Yeah, sure, but you better come up with something special

to put in that box.

That mob could turn ugly if you don't come up with a really super prize.

Oh, don't be such a worrywort.

I'll think of something.
