Come dream with me tonight.

Let's go to far off places and search for treasures

bright. Come dream with me tonight.

Let's build a giant airship and sail into the

sky.

The crown's so far below.

Let's watch the birds as they fly by.

Fly so high.

Won't you do this one tiny favor for me?

No way, Twank. Forget it. Hey, flap off. This is a private conversation.

Keep your voice down, L .B.

You're weak mumsy.

You got a point there. If anybody needs beauty sleep, it's your mother.

L .B., I command you to bounce over to Gimmick's house and start a fight

those three goody goodies.

You got it backwards, Twix.

I'm the one who gives you the orders now.

Queller said so.

I still can't believe Queller would be stupid enough to make you my boss.

Hey, just because he's a genius doesn't make him smart.

Don't you kind of miss the old days, LB?

We were a team, remember?

I was the brain, and you were the brawn. I was never brawn. I was always sort of

reddish colored.

Oh, you're driving me crazy.

Remember, Tweeze, from now on, you're driving me.

That's it. That's the final straw.

And the name is Tweed.

Your name will be mine if you don't stop that screaming.

What's going on here?

See what I mean about the beauty sleeve?

Oh, good morning, Mumsy. Don't good morning.

Now get out and don't come back till you've done something rotten.

Before breakfast?

On an empty stomach?

I'll show them all.

I'll start a fight between Gimmick and his friends that will seem like an all

-out Katang war.

Perhaps if I connect the building.

Now,

I just need to find something to start a fight.

Thank you.

I didn't realize it was so late.

Wake up, everyone. Rise and shine.

Dread and double dread.

Can't we sleep just five more minutes, Teddy?

No, Grubby. Not if we want to get an early start to the great desert.

Yes, indeed.

Let's hurry, everyone. I can't wait to try the new pliable habitat.

You mean the tent gimmick?

Call it what you will. I think it was a stroke of ingenious to turn the

airship's airbag into a shelter. It was a very good idea, Gimmick.

And I can try out this new belt you made to help carry the crystals.

Well, we can't leave until we've had breakfast.

Come on, Gimmick. It's our turn to make oatmeal this morning.

You'll have to do it yourself, Grubby. I have to put the finishing touches on

another new invention.

What gimmick?

It's all right, Grubby. I'll help you. You know, Teddy, ever since that Crystal

said Gimmick was inventive, he's been inventing ways to get out of doing any

work around here.

I'm sure he doesn't mean to be inconsiderate, Grubby.

I'll take these supplies out to the ocean.

Be right back, Grubby. Okay, Teddy.

Hey, come here, Grubby.

There's something I'd like to show you.

If you want to show me something, bring it down here.

That's it.

Grubby, Gimmick, could you please lend me a hand out here?

Come on, Gimmick. You've got to help, too. This is your invention we're trying

to get off the ground.

All right, Grubby. I'm coming.

Let's see how they like this, the friendly little creeps.

Nothing like a meal with lots of iron in it to start the day.

Uh -oh.

Time for this bad guy to make good his escape.

In my general distinction, it's covered with oatmeal.

Can't you cook a little neater than this, Grubby?

Me? I'm always picking up after you.

Especially since you turned into such an inventing genius.

Now stop it, both of you.

Well, he started it. No, he started it. Please stop it right now. You're both

acting very childishly. I am not.

You are too.

I think you should both stop arguing and try to work this out.

Well, I guess you're right.

I'm sorry, Grubby.

Oh, well, then, I'm sorry, too. I guess I'm kind of jealous, because gimmick's

got all the imagination around here.

Oh, don't feel bad, Grubby. We've all got imagination.

It's just a question of learning to develop it.

So warm up your imagination.

And with some interpretation.

And a little perspiration. Anything can fly.

But nothing ever happens if you don't really try.

When first I built my tube van just to cool a room in summer. The reason that

pulled not pushed is still not really clear.

Imagine that.

But then an ocean hit me as it swallowed half my arm. This thing could make the

dust inside my house to disappear.

You're back in dust or upper? So science wins again.

So warm up your imagination.

And with some interpretation.

And a little perspiration. Anything can fly.

Now sometimes even my inventions might just go awry.

Oh, really?

Yes. But nothing good will happen if you don't really try.

so smoothly.

I had a terrific fight going between Gimmick and that overgrown inchworm,

Grubby, until that teddy saucepan stepped in and ruined it all.

Well, go back and try again.

Remember, the dishonor of the tweed name is at stake.

Oh, it's no use, Mommy.

They're taking off for the great desert in that airship of theirs.

This I must meet.

You're right. It's already in the air. Now, why would they be going to the

Desert, I wonder?

That's it. They must have located the legendary gem mines of the Great Desert.

We must follow them.

You heard her, L .B. Prepare the wagon.

No, you prepare the wagon while I think of a plan to steal those gems.

But, Mommy, why can't I think of a plan?

Because we can't wait that long.

Now, start loading the wagon.

They're almost out of sight.

Mush, Tweed, mush.

Oh, what a little dignity.

What's this, Buffy?

Tweed is working?

We must neglect this, Biff. Come on, Twiff. Pull harder.

Yeah. No pain, no gain. Build up that muscle here.

Yeah. The one between your ears.

You can laugh now.

But when we find that gem mine, I'll be rich.

Did you hear me?

Well, boys, let's get the pliable habitat in place.

You mean we should put the tent up? Call it a tent if you like, Grubby.

The fact remains that this permits us to turn the airship into a house.

Now, let's not dawdle.

Whatever you say, Gimmick. Gimmick sure is grumpy today.

Now, first, we have to lower the yard arm.

Okay, how's that?

Lower, Teddy.

If you understood my design, you wouldn't have to ask that question.

Sorry, gimmick.

And now, Grubby, you lower the airbag.

Okay, I'm lowering it away.

Not like that. Position it over here.

Well, why didn't you say so before?

Must I explain everything?

All right, raise the hot air tube.

There sure is a lot of room in here.

Yes, indeed.

When that crystal said I was inventive, it was certainly correct.

That crystal should have said you were conceited, too.

What?

Well, my crystal said I was honest, and I'm going to tell you something

honestly. This tent is okay, but what else have you made? A bunch of

thingamajigs that don't do anything, that's what.

Even the airship was a flop until Leota showed you how to fix it.

Well... What have you ever invented?

Grubby, gimmick, this isn't the way friends are supposed to act.

Well, I thought we were friends.

But after that outburst, maybe we're not.

Of course we're friends. But ever since that crystal said you were inventive,

you've been so busy inventing things that you haven't been very nice to your

friends. Oh, so now you're on his side.

I'm not on anybody's side.

Grubby was trying to be honest.

But you don't have to be mean to be honest, Grubby.

Well, since we came all this way, I propose we stay here overnight.

Well, maybe we should look for some food.

Now you're talking.

Here's some roots we can eat.

These berries look edible. We'd better be heading back. It's getting dark.

Uh -oh.

What is it, Grubby?

Doesn't that cave remind you of the one where the mud blops captured us?

Yes, I guess it does, a little.

Oh, don't worry. I've done a thorough evaluation of mud blops, and for those

creatures to be found this far north is virtually impossible.

Oh, no!

My blocks!

Well, LB?

There's nobody inside, Eleanor. And look, footprints leading that way.

It looks like five people went by.

They must have recruited some followers.

No.

Six of those feet belonged to the caterpillar.

I told you, Twink. Don't waste your time thinking.

Aha!

The footprints lead into this cave.

Well, don't just stand there. Let's follow them.

What's that strange noise?

It's Weepstomach gurgling again.

No, it isn't. It's... It's...

We capture intruders.

Take the two ugly ones away.

No, no, the ugly one.

Hey, not by the horn.

Now you have got it right.

Take them away.

And you, cute thing, sit here beside me.

What? In the mud?

Forget it, Charlie.

Keep moving.

Keep moving.

I'm moving. I'm moving.

It sounds like the mud blubs have brought in more prisoners.

Quick, Grubby. Over here.

It's Twig and L .B.

What are you doing here?

Yuck! It's you, Teddy Deathbin. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be in this

cell. And Mummy wouldn't be in the clutches of the King of the Mud Pies

there. This is no way to treat a lady.

I demand to see the Marvel Ambassador.

Mummy, are you all right? Of course I'm not all right. Would I be screaming if I

was all right?

What did they do to you, Eleanor?

That mound of mud wants to marry me and make me queen of the mudblub. He knows

an attractive woman when he sees one.

My beauty drove the poor devil wild.

Can you imagine me living in all this goo and muck? Then you'll do it.

Of course not.

But you put it on your face every night.

How can you tell?

I'd rather rot before I marry that bucket of...

I'm going to get some shut -eye. Turn around, will you, boy?

But, Mumsy, how can you sleep at a time like this?

I need my rest if my skin is to keep its girlish glow.

Although a fat lot of good it'll do me with that walking slime pile chasing me

around.

Sometimes beauty is a curse.

I know.

I know.

So, the mudblood king wants a wife, hmm?

What's with the getup, please?

I've watched you two make a mess of things long enough.

Now it's my turn.

God! Oh, God!

What do you want?

Take me to that gorgeous lump of mud you call king.

certainly do have piles and piles of sparkly gems.

They don't sparkle like your eyes.

I tell you what, I'll marry you on one condition.

Name it my precious pile of anthracite.

That you free the tall green creature and the short red one and you give them

many gems as they can carry.

Very well.

It shall be my wedding present to you.

Oh, thank you.

Now I must return to my cell to freshen up for the ceremony.

Well, that was refreshing.

Just let me dress and I'll come up with a plan to get out of this dump.

Boy, is he in for a surprise.

You are free to go.

Well, it's about time.

You, come with us.

The gems in this trunk are yours. Now go.

What's going on here?

Bye, Mommy.

I'll send you a wedding gift.

You really pulled it off, Tweed.

Now help me with this trunk.

Uh -oh, that sounded like thunder.

Hey, Gimmick, looks like you're going to get that rainstorm you predicted.

Oh, by the bucket full.

This storm is getting worse.

My feet are getting all muddy. I have an idea. Quick, everybody.

There's mud all over you. Okay, but I don't think my mom would approve of

Teddy, you look just like a mud blup. Well, maybe a baby mud blup. That's the

whole idea, Grubby.

Hey, guard!

Blup, blup, blup.

Guard!

What are you doing in there?

Where are the three prisoners?

Blup, blup, blup. They locked us in here.

Blup. Let us out so we can find them.

You better hurry.

We're already in trouble if you can't find them.

Come on, fellas. Back to the airship.

The prisoners.

After them.

They're after us.

Run.

Run.

Faster.

Let's run.

I'm glad the sun came out when it did.

Fortunately, the mud -bluff's sensitive eyes can't endure bright, uh, light.

We were lucky, all right. But you thought of how to escape, Teddy.

Yes, indeed, Teddy. You certainly used your, uh, imagination.

Thank you, Gimmick. It's sure nice to be able to come back to this nice, cozy,

pliable habitat.

Grubby, I'm, uh, sorry for the way I acted today.

And I'm sorry about the monkey wrench and the, uh, oatmeal, too.

And I'll never call you messy again, Gimmick. After seeing those mud block

I think you're the neatest housekeeper in the whole world.
