(SINGING) We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

We're the spirits from the forest moon

We're the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

We're the spirits from the forest moon

We are brave, we are bold Like our storytellers told

That we're strong and we will fight And we'll stand up for our rights

We're the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

We're the spirits from the forest moon

We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

We're the spirits from the forest moon

Yes, we're home on the ground And on highways in the trees

When we want to fly high We just sail out on the breeze

We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

Yeah, we're one big happy family

We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

One big happy, happy family

(CREATURES SCREECHING)

Whoa!

(LAUGHTER)

-WICKET: Jindas! -Goopa, Jinda!

Huh?

Greetings, Ewoks.

Where are you off to?

We're going to Mooth's to trade for winter supplies.

What are the good Jindas up to these days?

We're relaxing by a beautiful waterfall.

Why don't you Ewoks join us?

Maybe on the way back.

But first we have to go to Mooth's.

Well, gotta go.

-Bye. -(WEECHEE CLICKS TONGUE)

(JINDA GIGGLING)

TREBLA: Bondo. We must move on.

You know of the curse.

I know, I know.

We'll leave tomorrow.

That's what you said yesterday and the day before.

Just wait. When it happens, he'll say, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Oh, no!

(GASPS)

It's the curse. We're surrounded.

Run for your lives!

(YELLING)

(GASPS)

(JINDAS YELLING)

Phew!

Whoa!

(OVER LOUDSPEAKER) Hurry! Everyone pack up!

We've got to get out of here. The curse is upon us!

Hurry! Hurry!

WICKET: I wonder what crazy things old Mooth's got in his store this season.

Wicket. Remember what Father said.

I know.

Don't waste our surplus on anything foolish.

Well, the villagers work hard

so we can trade the things we'll need during the snows.

Chak. That's why I did a little hard work on my own.

(GASPS) Monmon seeds!

They're beautiful.

Collected and polished them myself.

When old Mooth gets a look at these,

I'll have my pick of anything in the store.

Did I ever tell you how cute you are? (GIGGLES)

No.

Mooth ahead!

Come on, Mooth. Where are you hiding?

Hey, Wicket. Look at this great bow.

Did you ever see such a great knife, Wicket?

Hey, Wicket. How do I look?

Buy some taffy. It looks gunda.

Save your breath, you guys.

Hey, Mooth!

Don't ya know ya got customers out... Ooh!

I'll have to charge you for that.

Mooth! Uh... (CHUCKLES)

Uh, good to see you.

Good to see you, too. What do you want?

We've brought this year's surplus to trade for winter supplies.

Gunda, as you Ewoks say.

It's white plum fruit day here at Mooth's.

You'll find many bargains here today.

We're not here to bargain hunt, Mr. Mooth.

We have strict instructions from the elders.

Hmm. Nut paste. Pine pit. Grass twine.

Hmm, quite an order here.

Sure you can pay for all this?

Chak. Our wagon is loaded down.

We'll take care of that.

(WHISTLES)

Unload their wagon.

So, is there anything else?

Oh, what have we here?

Monmon seeds!

And the biggest and shiniest you've ever seen, I'll bet.

-Tell you what I can do. -Buy the knife.

-There's a great fishing pole... -The bow! Get the bow!

How about the taffy, Wicket?

-PAPLOO: Buy the bow. -Come on, buy the knife.

Listen, you guys, I... Huh?

It's an incredibly lucky stone.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Brought to me from far away by the most feared traders I know.

Anyone who wears it will find happiness and success.

-It's just a rock. -What use is it?

Well, I don't think it's so pretty.

-I'll take it. -Sold!

-I'll even throw in the taffy. -What?

There's no accounting for some people's taste.

Oh, brother!

Here you go, Ewok.

You have a shrewd eye there, son.

WEECHEE: Let's go before my brother trades us for something stupid.

Thanks.

Come again, Ewoks. Come again.

(LAUGHING, SNORTING)

Wicket buys a stupid rock.

-What a lurdo! -It's not even a jewel.

Just a rock.

Anybody want some taffy?

Oh, Wicket, it's beautiful.

Thank you for giving it to me.

WICKET: Well, you seemed to like it, so...

(CREATURES CHITTERING)

Hmm.

-What's that noise? -Ee Chee Wa Wa!

Let's get outta here. Yep.

Skandits!

(BRAYING)

Whoa!

(SKANDITS CHITTERING)

Oh!

(GRUNTS)

(YELLING) Wicket! Help!

-Jump, Kneesaa! -(BOTH EXCLAIMING)

(SKANDITS CACKLING)

(GASPS) Oh, no!

Whoa! Oh!

(SKANDITS CHITTERING)

Great. There goes our ride home.

(BRAYING)

(SKANDITS CHITTERING)

Ee Chee Wa Wa!

What are we going to do?

Well, at least they didn't get this.

That ugly thing?

If that stone were lucky, we wouldn't be here right now.

(CLAMORING)

What's that?

KNEESAA: It's the JIndas!

Greetings, Skanditos! (CHUCKLES)

How are things here in the holes?

Yes, yes, it's us.

The famous traveling Jindas.

My fellow pilgrims and I...

Pilgrims! We travel from town to town, bringing high-quality entertainment

to our beloved Endor moon.

All we ask is for your hospitality and a few bites to eat.

So how does that strike you?

(CHITTERING)

BOTH: Yeah.

Drop it, pilgrims, we're staying the night.

Ah, Trebla.

I think if we set up over there, we can...

-(FLUTE PLAYING) -(GASPS)

That music, it sounds familiar.

Yes, Mr. Bondo. It's me.

(SKANDITS CHITTERING)

The Skandits have captured me and my...

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Who are these creatures?

Prisoners of some sort?

Well, let's get out of here.

But, Mr. Bondo, you...

You can't just leave us here!

(SNIFFLING)

WICKET: It'll be all right, Latara. It'll be all right.

Check, check, check. Welcome, Skandits.

Welcome to the greatest show this side of Endor.

You like nuts?

Well, we are nuts. (GIGGLES) We're the traveling Jindas!

And here's Chitor and his flying ferrets.

Oh, that's a new bit.

Latara, how can you watch a show at a time like this?

Well, it's better than watching you, Paploo.

(GASPS) Look!

Well, what do you know?

A side show.

(CHITTERING)

(SKANDIT SIGHING)

TREBLA: Quick! Tie these two up, I'll release the Ewoks.

-You saved us! -Of course.

You don't think we could leave without our favorite Ewok and her friends, do you?

But how are we gonna get past the rest of the Skandits?

Aah! A monster!

That's no monster. That's your way out of here.

Quickly now. We haven't a moment to lose. Make your way to the Awors backstage.

But what if we meet some Skandit guards?

Don't worry.

All the Skandits are too busy watching the show.

Good luck, Ewoks.

Which way is the stage?

KNEESAA: How do I know, you're steering. LATARA: Ow! You stepped on my foot!

WEECHEE: Sorry.

But someone better watch where they put their hands.

(SPEAKING EWOKESE)

Skandit guards.

Do something!

Um... Uh...

(SKANDITS CACKLING)

-(GROWLS) -BOTH: Uh-oh!

(GROWLING)

It's working. (GROWLS)

They're scared, but they're... (GROWLS) not moving out of the way.

Then go around them.

Okay, follow me.

(EWOKS GROWLING)

Thank you, tweety, for that splendid rendition of Birds of the Forest.

(CHUCKLES)

And now, please welcome the Dancing Devils.

-(WICKET GROWLING) -That's not the Dancing Devils.

(EWOKS GROWLING)

What are you doing?

-You led us right on stage! -It's okay. (GIGGLES)

The Skandits are afraid of us. See?

(LAUGHING)

Let's have some fun.

-Wicket, I don't think... -(GROWLING)

(SKANDITS CHITTERING)

-What does Wicket think he's doing? -I don't know.

But if Willy steps on my foot again, I'll...

PAPLOO: Ow!

(EWOKS EXCLAIMING)

(GROWLING)

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

You'd better look behind you, Ewok.

Hmm?

Uh...

Kvark. Run for it.

(SKANDITS CHITTERING)

(YELLING INSTRUCTIONS)

They're gaining on us! Throw down those vines!

Hurry, Ewoks! Swing to the top!

Well, that's our show for tonight.

You've been a wonderful audience, but we really must be moving on.

Thank you and good night.

I hope you Ewoks know the way to your village.

WEECHEE: Don't worry, we'll get you there.

It's them. They've returned.

(EWOKS CHEERING)

Hi, Mom! We're back.

Mr. Bondo saved us.

Out of my way. Paploo!

Huh?

Baby Paploo, Mother's here.

(KISSING)

-Kiss, kiss. -(GASPS)

(LAUGHING)

Father!

Oh, Kneesaa, I've been so worried. What happened?

Ah, Chief Chirp-Chirp, I'm so happy to see you again.

And you, Bozzie, my favorite furball. (GIGGLES)

Paploo, how did you ever end up with these creatures?

Aw, Mom. They saved us.

Chak. We got caught by some Skandits.

And the Jindas just happened to come to the village.

Thank you for returning our children.

We shall always be grateful.

You're most welcome.

Perhaps you have some good bites to eat for us here.

Hey, Kneesaa. Did you show them the stone yet?

Oh, yeah! Look, Father!

Wicket traded for it at Mooth's. Isn't it beautiful?

You didn't trade village surplus for that, did you?

Nah. He used his own Monmon seeds.

Can you believe it? What a lurdo.

Well, I like it. Thanks, Wicket.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

(JINDA YELLING)

It's the curse!

The curse? What curse?

The curse of the Jindas. No!

Quickly, get the Jindas up into the village.

We'll raise the stairway.

(BOTH GASPING)

(GASPS) This way.

All clear!

Whoa!

Help! Help!

Raise the stairs!

Ooh!

Thank you for helping the Jindas.

It's the least we could do, Mr. Bondo, but I'm afraid you're not safe yet.

Mr. Bondo.

What exactly is this curse?

No, no, not the curse.

You must tell us about it so we can help you.

Hit it, boys.

A one, a two, a three.

(SINGING) You see Not long ago in a far off land

The Jindas used to farm and lend a hand

We never used to travel far from home

We'd just grow vegetables And work our bones

Above us lived this Wizard of Rock

All we did was feed him He protected our lot

It was a good relationship

This Rock Wizard loved Jinda cuisine

'Twas the best he ever tasted The best he'd ever seen

One day he came storming off his rock Said we tried to poison him with our stock

A foolish idea, we did no such thing

But he sent us from our homeland Just the same

He cast a spell to keep us on the move

If we ever returned or fell into a groove

The rocks would rise up Like they did today

And chase us all around Till we made our way

So that's our tale of regret and despair

That's the reason why we can't stay here

But we've adapted

We've become the best entertainers From here to west of the west

LOGRAY: I've heard of this wizard.

He's always been a jolly sort.

This sudden change in temperament I don't quite understand.

Something caused him a lot of pain, and he thinks it was the Jindas.

Father, can't we help the Jindas return to their homeland?

Logray.

Perhaps there is a way.

I must think about it.

I must think very carefully.

BONDO: The Jindas are very grateful that your tribe has offered to help.

I hope your magician knows what he's doing.

It is very dangerous for Logray to interfere with another wizard's spell.

Yet the Ewoks wish to repay the Jindas for their help.

Or at least try.

Hey, Wicket.

Why don't you just use the lucky stone you gave Kneesaa?

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Hmm...

Are you ready, young Teebo?

Uh, yes, Master Logray.

Your power is strong with the forest creatures.

Remember that.

(LOGRAY CHANTING)

(WIND HOWLING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(CHANTING CONTINUES)

And now for the finishing touch.

(HUMMING)

(BARKING)

Thank you, my friends.

And thank you, young Teebo.

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

(LAUGHING)

Oh! The forest is safe.

Venture forth, pilgrims.

(ALL CHEERING)

You've done it.

You've broken the curse of the Jindas.

Do you need an agent?

How come you're not praising your lucky stone, Wicket?

(BOTH LAUGHING)

I traded for that stone because I wanted to,

and I gave it to someone I like.

Not some greedy Ewok

who tried to get me to trade for something they wanted.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

-(RUMBLING) -BOTH: Huh?

Your troubles may not be over quite yet, Mr. Bondo.

I'm afraid the Rock Wizard won't give up that easily.

What can he do?

He's just a rock.

-(RUMBLING INTENSIFIES) -(EXCLAIMS)

(BOTH GASPING)

WEECHEE: Ee Chee Wa Wa!

Who dares to fool with my magic?

-It was him! -It was him!

You?

I am Logray.

The Jindas have done our tribe a great favor.

Therefore, I removed your misguided curse.

Misguided?

(EXCLAIMS)

(WHIMPERING IN PAIN)

Oh...

The Jindas have caused me great pain.

They shall not rest until I rest.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

(ALL YELLING)

(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)

(WINCES)

In the name of the light spirit, I implore you to cease.

(LAUGHING)

I've got to help him!

-Danvay, Kneesaa! -Kneesaa, get back!

Stop! Stop before you destroy us all!

What?

It can't be!

That's mine.

Give me my tooth.

Your tooth?

Your lucky stone, Kneesaa. Give him the stone.

(CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHING)

What's so funny?

Chak. You almost killed us.

All this time, I... I thought the Jindas had caused my pain.

But I'd only lost a tooth. (CHUCKLES)

Where did you get it?

From a trader in the forest. He said it was a lucky stone.

Well, perhaps it is.

Since I am no longer in pain, the curse is off.

You mean...

Yes.

The Jindas may return to the life they once loved beneath my fortress.

(ALL CHEERING)

Logray, Chief Chirp-Chirp, you did it!

Don't forget.

We had a little help from my daughter.

And the stupid little rock?

(BOTH STAMMERING)

(ALL LAUGHING)
