Teddy: "After all this time, the crystal book is still a mystery to me."

Hmm. What did I write about it the day it happened?

Ah. "Today Arin discovered a remarkable old book

in a secret chamber

deep beneath King Nogburt's castle.

At first we couldn't get the book open,

but then I noticed there was a space on the clasp

in the shape of a crystal.

I put a crystal into the space

and the book opened,

but the writing is in a strange alphabet

that we don't understand.

If we can ever translate this,

we might be able to solve the mystery of the crystals."

Gimmick: Most mysterious.

It may take a few more experiments

to discover the power of the sixth crystal.

Aha.

Hmm, most interesting.

Perhaps this is the way to do it.

Or possibly this.

Hmm, how very peculiar.

I'm prepared to spend days on end

searching through untold amounts of things.

I will struggle with this problem to the end.

I will not, uh, rest.

Mr. Gimmick?

Breakfast is ready.

Eh, but first, a bit of breakfast.

Ya-hoo-hooey! Ha ha!

Finally a chance to get closer.

I know those guys are up to something,

and I'm gonna find out what it is.

I've made this special Rillonian rhubarb pie for breakfast.

I hope everybody likes it.

Like it? [laughs]

We haven't smelled anything so good

since the Harvest Feast.

Hardest feat? Yes, quite right.

Learning what this crystal does

is the hardest feat I've ever attempted.

What about translating the crystal book?

Uh, yes, that's quite a mystery too.

May I see this strange book?

We don't know what all the weird writing in here's supposed to mean.

Hmm, that's funny.

These letters, I've seen them somewhere before.

Where, Mother?

I'm not sure, but I know I've seen them.

If only I could remember.

And of course we're gonna need a whole bunch of brides Bounders

and, uh, shovers.

And a whole lot of guests.

Listen, Mother, we was thinkin'--

Now, now, now, we already decided on a quiet wedding.

Just the immediate family and a brass band.

But, Ma, if Mrs. L.B. wants--

Brass band? What a dumb idea.

Oompa. Oompa.

I'll have you know that Buffy's father played first tuba

in the Grundo Bounding Band ten years in a row.

Well, if you're having a brass band,

the wedding's gonna have to be at your house.

Our house? We want it at your house.

But, Ma, Mrs. L.B.,

we thought it'd be romantic

to get married on the beach near Bounder Pass.

Both: That's a terrible idea.

Kids today. I don't know.

So impractical.

Not a thought for anyone else but themselves.

Sheesh. I wonder if it's too late to elope.

So you see, I know precisely

how to figure out what this crystal does.

What do you plan to do, Gimmick?

Uh, well, if I can isolate the bilateral frequencies of light

as refracted by the obtuse surfaces...

Oh, you mean you're just gonna mess around with it

and hope that something happens.

Eh, exactly.

Would you like to come into town with me today, Burl?

Oh, that sounds nice. What's on the agenda?

Well, we need some new plates to replace the ones that broke,

and maybe a tray to match--

What is it, Mother?

Teddy. Now I remember where I saw those strange letters.

-You do? -The ones from the crystal book?

Yes. Come with me.

Now-- Now where did I put that thing?

I say yes.

And I say no.

I insist.

Absolutely not.

Your whole family is a bunch of slobs.

And yours is a bunch of stuffed shirts.

Bounders don't even wear shirts.

Both: Shut up!

Ah, there's nothing like a wedding to bring a family closer together.

? It's a beautiful, beautiful Bounder wedding ?

? It's a day for all the Bounder guys and gals ?

? It's a special day in such a lovely setting ?

? It's a day for having fun with all your pals ?

? We've waited long enough for all the presents and stuff ?

? We'll be getting ?

? At this beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful ?

? Bouncing Bounder wedding ?

Look at what she's wearing.

Yeah, isn't it lovely?

An ugly dress for you to wear

that's kind of old and full of holes.

? That's torn and tattered ?

? A funny hat, a pair of spats ?

? A silly vest, you look your best ?

? As if it mattered ?

? It's a beautiful, beautiful, Bounder wedding ?

? It's a day for shoving food between your jaws ?

? It's a day I know I'll never be forgetting ?

? It's a day for being nice to mother-in-laws ?

? And I can't wait to go and count the piles of dough ?

? We'll be getting ?

? At this beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful ?

? Bouncing Bounder wedding ?

? We've waited long enough ?

? For all the presents and stuff ?

? They'll be getting ?

? At this beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful ?

? Bouncing Bounder wedding ?

I know it's here somewhere.

Ah.

Here we are.

What's all that writing?

It looks just like the writing in the crystal book.

Grubby, may I have the crystal book?

Grubby: The writing looks the same, Teddy.

What a discovery.

This is an important clue

about the ancient alphabet in the book.

It's more than a clue, Gimmick.

Gee, Teddy. The writing looks different.

You can almost read it.

What does it say?

"Now witnesseth the sacred record of Wyma the Illiper,

scribe to the court of King Philben,

the defender of the Illiper realm."

Illipers?

What's an Illiper?

I've told you about my friends, Prince Arin and Princess Aruzia.

They're Illipers.

So are their parents, the King and Queen.

And the crystal book was written by an Illiper historian.

[laughs] That explains why it was found at the castle.

Keep reading, Teddy.

"Hear me while I tell of a golden age

when all Grundo prospered.

A time of great discovery and understanding."

Hmm. My grandfather used to speak of a time long ago

when anything was possible.

Too bad we didn't go adventuring then, huh, Teddy?

Ha. Right.

"Illipers lived in peace and harmony

with their great neighbors in the Hard to Find City."

In the Hard to Find City?

But the Gutangs live there.

I can't imagine them living in peace and harmony with anybody.

Neither can I. But maybe they were friendlier then.

"Safe inside the Hard to Find City

were its peaceful inhabitants,

well protected were they against the menace from the north,

safe in the arms of the mighty Wall of Ying."

Menace from the north?

Gee, Ying hasn't changed much.

Oh, I never heard such rubbish.

Even L.B. makes more sense.

The Wall of Ying doesn't have arms.

Oh, what's this? A crystal?

Ya-ha-hooey!

Just what I've always wanted.

Yee!

That was close. [gasps]

Mommy.

"Then, in the history of our people,

came the greatest achievement of our time--

the six crystals of Grundo,

and those who gaze upon them should know this.

Only the pure of spirit may find the treasure of knowledge therein."

Help!

-That sounded like Tweeg. -Yow!

It is Tweeg.

How come he's zooming around like that?

And why is he here in Rillonia?

Heavens to Grundo! The sixth crystal.

It's gone.

Hmm.

[Tweeg shouts]

Whoa!

Gosh I didn't know Tweeg could fly.

I don't know if I'd call that flying.

It appears more like a runaway crystal to me.

-A runaway crystal? -Yes, Teddy.

The citric acid in that orange juice

seems to have activated an anti-gravitational pull.

At least that's my deduction.

What are you guys talking about?

The crystal.

It has the power to make you fly.

[Tweeg shouts]

How do you stop this thing?

Quickly, we have to catch him before he hurts himself.

I'll prepare the airship.

I'll get a net.

Tweeg ain't gonna be an easy fish to catch.

Do you see him yet?

Not yet, Gimmick.

Look, thar he blows!

Please!

If you stop now, I'll give up my evil ways forever.

I'll devote my life to charity.

I'll even pay L.B. the money I owe him!

[screams]

I take it we don't have a deal.

[howls]

Oh, it's no use, Teddy.

He's moving too fast for the airship.

We're never gonna catch him this way.

Well, he's gotta come down sometime.

It's hard to see Tweeg anymore.

That sun sure is bright.

Hmm. I wonder what will happen

when the orange juice on the crystal evaporates.

Hiya.

How ya doing?

Ah, nice to see ya.

Love your dress. Have you lost weight?

Gee, for me? Thanks.

Let's do lunch.

Friends of the bride?

Cousin Larry.

Long time no see.

How they treatin' ya in the Grundo Jail?

Eh, can't complain.

They let me come to your wedding.

Sorry I didn't bring nothing.

My finances are kinda tight.

So who's the lucky Boundrette?

Crowd: Ooh!

Crowd: Ah!

Great cake, chef. A masterpiece.

Just give me a second to set up,

and I'll record this moment for posterity.

A little more to the left.

All right, that's it.

-[projectile whistling] -[Tweeg shouts]

[all groan]

Oh, my. Oh, my.

Oh. Oh. Oh, my.

Mm. Oh!

Oh, my! Whoo-hoo!

Oh, my!

[laughter]

You didn't have to crash my wedding.

You were already invited.

-I was? -Sure.

I even sent you an invitation.

Oh, L.B., that's the very first time in my life

anyone ever invited me to anything.

So where's your present to the happy couple?

My present?

Um, uh, oh, well...

Aw, Mother.

Twerk is too cheap to bring anything.

Oh, I am not cheap!

Of course I brought a gift.

And, um, uh, just a minute.

Ah-ha. Here it is.

Note the workmanship.

That's not imitation, you know.

It's the real thing.

Gee, Twank, a real box.

-Thanks. -It's not just a box, L.B.

It's filled with beautiful and rare shells

I personally collected on the beach in Rillonia.

It took at least ten minutes,

but you're worth it.

Oh, wow, man.

I sure hope Tweeg likes all that gold I put in his box, man.

I wonder if he's looked in it yet, you know?

Far out. Oh, wow.

You can hear the ocean.

Like, it was a fair trade.

These shells are totally gnarly.

And I know how much Tweeg digs gold, man.

I only hope he's happy, man,

when he discovers that I pulled the old switcheroo.

[laughs]

According to my calculations,

Tweeg must have landed in the middle of that crowd.

In the middle of the cake is more like it.

Everyone's covered in icing.

What a waste. I knew we should have got here earlier.

Let's go find the crystal.

And then, as I was flying through the clouds,

I said to myself, "Tweeg," I said, "this calls for a cool head."

Weren't you frightened?

Not a bit.

An evil genius like myself has no trouble

dealing with a little thing like a mere runaway crystal.

Why, I've already forgotten what it looked like.

Uh, did it look anything like your hat?

My hat? What are you talking about.

I'm not wearing a ha-ha...

ha...

What's wrong, boss?

Eek! Get this thing away from me.

It almost killed me.

Oh, it's no use, Teddy.

There are too many people,

and they're all covered in icing.

I'm afraid we'll never find that crystal.

What were you saying, Gimmick?

[laughs] As I was saying,

how nice it was of Tweeg

to discover the power of this magnificent crystal. [laughs]

Hey, be careful.

Suppose it takes off with you.

Oh, not possible, Grubby.

The orange juice evaporated.

Until it comes in contact with more citric acid,

handling it will be quite safe.

I'll just put it in my belt to keep it even safer.

Hey, looks like the wedding's about to begin.

Yeah, there's still time to escape, L.B.

Why would I want to?

Look at Buffy.

I never saw a Bounder so boundlessly beautiful.

[crying]

You mustn't cry.

You ain't losin' a son.

You're gaining a daughter.

It's not that.

It's this awful music. It's giving me a migraine.

Hi, everyone. Nice of you to come.

Now we are gathered here today

to bind these Bounders in the bond of matrimony.

You know, an occasion like this often brings to mind--

Forget it, motor mouth.

Can we just get on with the ceremony?

Er, um, uh, yes, why, of course.

Go right ahead.

Go ahead, snookums.

Thanks, Buffy.

I just wanna say... [clears throat]

Buffy, Buffy, soft and fluffy,

Grundo thinks that I'm a tuffy,

but in my heart I want youse more

than any Bounder did before.

My life with you I wanna spend

'cause I loves ya and that's the end.

[growls]

That's the stupidest thing I ever heard.

Er, uh, I meant the "Cupidest."

Now if you will kindly exchange rings...

[all cheer]

Thank you. Thank you.

I'm so happy.

He's the best Bounder I ever saw.

Yeah, you're right. Now let's tear open these gifts.

[both grunting]

Hey, that's very attractive.

Yuck. How tacky.

Eh, but thanks anyway, Mom.

A suntan machine. Perfect.

Now I won't get pale on rainy days.

All: Wow!

Hey, it's from the King and Queen.

Hey, thanks. That's very nice.

But you could have sprung for something a little classier.

Who's next?

Oh... his present.

This better be good, Twist.

[gasps] Tweeg.

You shouldn't have.

Nonsense, L.B.

Nothing's too good for you and your bounding bride Buffy.

Hey, you sure shelled out this time.

Why not? You deserve a big box of sea shells.

But instead you got us gold.

That's right. I got you gold.

Gold?

Gold?

Gold?

All: Gold?

Gold?!

-[all cheer] -Good luck!

L.B., you're not getting away with this.

Gimme back my gold, you ingrate!

Oh, after all I've done for you.

-L.B. -Yeah, Buff?

Does he have to come along on our honeymoon?

Ah, why not? He paid for it.

[L.B. laughs]
