[thunder rumbling]

[Quellor laughing]

Like I always say,

there's no news like bad news.

Especially about somebody else.

"Tweeg, would be arch-villain,

has met an untimely end

at the hands of Sludge, Drudge, and Trudge,

Quellor's monstrous minions."

Uh, is that what it says?

Why, isn't it true?

Uh, why sure it is, Your Gruesomeness.

It had better be.

"It has been reported to this reporter

that Tweeg was pounded down to his component particles.

Tweeg under glass.

You did well, my uglies.

Quellor looks very happy.

Yeah. This is serious.

Trudge: It ain't our fault Tweeg got away.

Drudge: But if Quellor ever finds out that he ain't got nothing

but a jar full of green goop...

Tweeg!

...we're dead meat.

[thunder rumbling]

You don't know how happy this makes me, L.B.

And that's all that really matters, right, boss?

What I've been through-- the nervous nights, the sleepless days--

hunted like a common villain.

-I thought you were a villain. -I am.

But I'm not "common."

I'm a master villain.

I think I'll have this headline framed.

"Hunt for Tweeg Ends."

What's the rest of the article say?

Ah, who cares?

The headline says it all.

Quellor doesn't want to throw me in a dungeon anymore.

In fact, he's crazy about me.

In that case, he's crazy all right. [laughs]

You know, I think I'll visit him.

I'm sure he misses me.

A gift. I need a gift.

Hmm. Aha!

I'll bring him this box of candy-coated slugs.

-Oh! -Mm.

[slurps] Who could resist those?

Pfft.

[humming]

Humming I can handle as long as he doesn't sing.

I can't stand it when he sings.

Tweeg: ♪ Sing low, sing high ♪

♪ Sing ah for the life of a villain ♪

♪ Ha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ♪

Rats.

[chuckles] I almost forgot

how much fun autumn is.

Teddy: And I'll bet no one in Grundo

knows about playing make-believe.

It was always my favorite fall thing to do back in Rillonia.

Boy, is Gimmick ever going to be surprised.

These are gonna be the best

make-believe costumes anyone's ever seen.

♪ We just dressed up like this so we'd surprise you ♪

♪ It's fun when your best friends don't recognize you ♪

♪ Although people might look scary ♪

♪ Please don't get up and leave ♪

♪ It's all in fun when we play make-believe ♪

Oh, boy, this is gonna be fun.

♪ Let's make-believe we can be anything we wish ♪

♪ Let's make-believe ♪

-♪ I'll be a bird ♪ -♪ I'll be a fish ♪

♪ Let's make-believe, I'll be you and you be me ♪

♪ When we make-believe there isn't anything ♪

♪ That we can't be ♪

[Teddy laughs]

Ooh!

♪ Anyone can be a ghost or goblin, Grunge, or ghoul ♪

♪ All it takes is some imagination ♪

♪ So let's dress up real funny and go see whom we can fool ♪

♪ We will look just like two Mudblups on vacation ♪

Yep. [chuckles]

-Boo! -Both: ♪ Let's make-believe ♪

♪ We can be anything at all ♪

♪ Let's make-believe ♪

♪ It is the best thing about fall ♪

♪ Let's make-believe, I'll be you and you be me ♪

♪ When we make-believe there isn't anything ♪

♪ That we can't be ♪

-Grubb: Ooh. -Teddy: Ooh!

It's amazing. We look just like Mudblups.

Hey, here comes Gimmick.

Come on, Teddy. Let's jump out and scare him.

[sniffing]

-Teddy: Blup, blup, ooh! -Grubby: Blup. Blup.

-Blup, blup. -Oh, hello, boys.

Eh, Mudblups, right?

Aw, you're not even surprised.

Or scared.

I guess our costumes aren't very good.

Oh, they're very good indeed.

So how come you weren't scared?

Because it's scientifically impossible

for Mudblups to be seen outside in the daytime.

-Not unless they've got sunglasses. -That's right.

So I simply deduced that you had to be,

eh, Teddy and Grubby.

Oh.

So, do you boys think you could make one of those

wonderful costumes for me?

-Sure we can, Gimmick. -Splendid.

Then tonight, we can all go to Wooly's party

in our disguises.

We'll have you looking like a Mudblup in no time.

[laughs] Excellent.

And on the way to Wooly's place,

perhaps we can visit the Fobs

and surprise them, too.

[laughs]

Okay, there they are.

Ready now?

One, two, three...

surprise! Blup, blup, blup!

[all oohing]

Eh, blup.

-Blup. -Teddy, Grubby, Gimmick.

Look who's here, fellas.

-Hi, guys. How you doing? -Hi, guys. Hiya.

-How come you're all dirty? -Did you fall in the mud or something?

-[Fobs laughing] -Grubby: No, we're supposed to be Mudblups.

-Mudblups? -Well, tell us another...

[laughter]

What exactly is so humorous?

First of all, Mudblups are lots bigger.

And they don't have eight legs.

And they don't wear glasses.

[Fobs laugh]

Maybe this idea isn't so great after all.

Yeah. I guess Wooly won't be very surprised either.

Wooly? You've got to be kidding.

Both: Wooly's not afraid of anything.

[banging on door]

Let me do the talking, L.B. Ouch.

This is going to take tact, diplomacy--

Ouch-- and subtlety. Ouch.

Ouch. Ouch.

-Ouch. -Yes?

[gasps] Picking thorns?

Rule number four, subsection two, paragraph 12 states--

"Anyone caught picking M.A.V.O. thorn bushes will be--"

Hello there, Ickly.

[stammering]

You're supposed to be-- [screaming]

See that, L.B.?

Tact and diplomacy always produce the desired results.

You wait here, L.B.

I'm sure Quellor wants to see me alone.

L.B.: Lots of luck. Tweeze.

You'll need it. [laughs]

Grubby: Gee, fellas, aren't we even gonna jump out and scare Wooly?

Gimmick: There's not much point, I'm afraid.

Teddy: If these costumes didn't frighten the Fobs,

they certainly won't frighten Wooly.

[Wooly jabbers] Just a minute. I'm coming.

-Hello there, Woo-- -Mudblups!

[jabbering]

Help!

Go away!

Go away!

-Grubby: But, Wooly... -Teddy: It's only us.

-Gimmick, Grubby, and Teddy. -Ooh, ooh!

You can't fool me. I know Mudblups when I see 'em.

We're not real Mudblups.

Real Mudblups are bigger.

And they don't have eight legs.

And they don't wear glasses either. [chuckles]

Teddy: See, Wooly? It's really us.

Ooh.

Why were you fellers pretending to be Mudblups?

You scared me.

It's an old Rillonian custom.

-Scaring people? -[Teddy chuckles]

No, playing make-believe.

We'll tell you all about it over dinner.

Quellor: Makes a fine centerpiece, don't you think?

Uh, absolutely.

Uh, positively.

Real, uh, unique.

A toast to Tweeg's ghost.

All: To Tweeg's ghost.

[gulping]

I'm willing to let bygones be bygones.

[coughing]

No, no, don't say anything.

It's hard to apologize.

[mutters]

-I understand. -[Quellor groaning]

Why is this green creature still alive?

It was Trudge's idea.

Uh, I don't get ideas.

-It's not my fault. -Quellor: Out!

Out!

Out!

-Guards! -[shouts]

Take this abomination to the dungeon!

The dungeon? But-But-But-- Wait!

Do as I command!

And find a particularly loathsome cell to throw him in.

Tweeg: Please, don't lock me up!

I can bring you Teddy Ruxpin.

Truly, I can.

Quellor!

If he can deliver us Teddy Ruxpin,

perhaps we should listen to him.

When I want your opinion,

I'll rattle your chain.

So be it, sire.

So be it.

I told you it wouldn't work.

What?

It was your idea, remember?

[sniffs] How come I never get any ideas?

Silence!

Yes, my mighty one.

Quellor: Against our better judgment,

we shall give you one last chance to redeem yourselves.

[all repeating "thank you"]

You must bring us the Illiop, Teddy Ruxpin.

[all agreeing]

Quellor: You dare not fail.

Dead or alive his carcass will be at my feet by dawn.

But, sire, we must have him alive.

Without him, we'll never find the crystals.

My orders will not be questioned.

Now be gone!

Any preference, Your Nightmareship?

-Preference? -He means about the dead or alive bit.

Surprise me. [laughs]

[groans]

That's another minute. I can't take much more of this.

I've gotta break out of here.

Say, that was easy.

Tweeg, you will help me find the Illiop.

Quellor has sent those three buffoons to bring him back,

dead or alive.

I want him alive.

Come.

Ah, the sweet smell of freedom.

I must warn you. I don't know how I'll be on the outside.

Prison does something to a man.

How would you know?

Wooly, that's the best make-believe costume I've ever seen.

[jabbers] You really think so?

Grubby: You look good enough to plant. [chuckles]

[laughter]

Teddy: The Grunge village is just around this bend.

Boy, are they gonna be surprised.

[murmuring]

[jabbers]

Grubby: Yikes!

Gimmick: Oh, dear!

Whoa!

Trina, look who's here.

Ted, Grub, Newton.

Say, who's the flower?

Nice costume.

Thank you.

-Hello, everyone. -Let me guess.

You guys are supposed to be mud pies, right?

Actually, we're Mudblups.

Yeah. These are our costumes for make-believe.

Whoa! I thought we were the only ones into that.

We were just about to have our pumpkin parade.

Hey, since you're already in costume,

why don't you join us?

-Teddy: Good idea. -[music playing]

Trina: ♪ When the pumpkins have their autumn parade ♪

♪ In the deepest, darkest part of the forest ♪

Grubby: ♪ Let's try to find a place where we can watch them in the shade ♪

♪ Where hopefully the pumpkins will ignore us ♪

Teddy: ♪ Because when pumpkins get together ♪

♪ They might look kinda mean ♪

Teddy and Grubby: ♪ Even spooks and goblins are afraid ♪

Trina: ♪ So you'd better watch out and try not to be seen ♪

♪ When the pumpkins have their autumn parade ♪

All: ♪ Pumpkins on parade ♪

♪ Marching on tiny little feet ♪

♪ Pumpkins on parade ♪

Hey, I didn't know pumpkins had feet.

[Teddy chuckles]

All: ♪ Pumpkins on parade ♪

♪ Nothing could be scary as this ♪

♪ Pumpkins on parade ♪

[Grunge lowered] ♪ Better be afraid ♪

All: ♪ It's something that you shouldn't miss ♪

Trina: Bring it home now.

All: ♪ Pumpkins on parade ♪

Trina: Keep it moving, guys!

All: ♪ Marching on tiny little feet ♪

Watch that formation!

-♪ Pumpkins on parade ♪ -Really spooky now!

Grubby: Are you sure pumpkins have feet?

-Teddy: I don't know. -All: ♪ Pumpkins on parade ♪

[Trina shouts]

All: ♪ Nothing could be scary as this ♪

-Keep it going, men! -All: ♪ Pumpkins on parade ♪

♪ Better be afraid ♪

♪ It's something that you shouldn't ♪

♪ Really, really shouldn't ♪

♪ It's something that you shouldn't miss ♪

Trina: Yeah!

Hey, Grunges, great costumes.

Sludge: Thanks!

Ain't that Teddy "Dustbin"?

It looks more like a Mudblup to me.

I don't know about that. Check the feet.

Sludge: Hmm.

Say, uh, are you Teddy Ruxpin?

Why, yes, I am.

-It is him. -Drudge: I told you.

-Let's get him. -Later.

Too many witnesses.

That darn costume is itchy.

-Understander: Where is the Illiop, Tweeg? -[gasps]

Tweeg: He must be here.

We've looked everywhere else.

Drat. It's those M.A.V.O. goons.

Run, Teddy!

Those guys are from M.A.V.O.

Grab him!

[gasps]

[shouts]

[all grunt]

Run!

After them, you fools!

Uh-oh. We're trapped.

Think of something, Teddy.

I'm thinking. I'm thinking.

[shouting]

Hey, this is fun.

They must've gone down here.

[laughs] Come on. Follow me.

[all shouting]

Fooled them that time. [chuckles]

-Are you all right, Wooly? -[jabbers]

Just fine, fellers.

-Can you see what's happening down there? -Eh, yep.

I think those bad guy monsters are gonna have some problems.

Gotcha, Ruxpin!

Any last words?

-[Mudblups grumbling] -Sludge, I think these guys are real Mudblups.

Oh, great.

-What happened? -[groans]

I think those monsters are gonna be sorry they started this.

-Uh-oh. Someone else is coming. -[L.B. bouncing]

If Ruxpin escapes a second time,

[panting] I shudder to think

what Quellor will do to you, Tweeg.

I shudder, too.

Only more so.

[panting]

Quick, which way did they go?

[all imitate Mudblups]

Aha!

I told you there were around here somewhere.

Yes, we are around here.

-Somewhere. -[Grubby chuckles]

-[all laughing] -[jabbering]
