- Pippi! - Pippi!

Hey, Mr. Nilsson! Where has pippi gone?

We haven't seen your mistress all day long.

- Gosh, Tommy!

Do you think anything could have happened to her?

- I don't know, Annika.

No rolls. No bread at all.

And she loves fresh rolls.

Tommy, why don't we bake fresh rolls for pippi!

- Oh, that's a good idea. - I'll get the flour.

- Top shelf. - Right.

- I just thought of something.

I don't know how to light the oven.

- Don t worry, I do. - Old man!

That's our house, villa ville-kulla.

It's on fire!

Every single second counts now!

- Turn off the water! Stop that!

- Tommy! Annika!

Don't worry, I'll save you.

Where is it burning the hardest?

In the stove.

- Wow! What is this?

- We wanted to bake you some nice fresh rolls.

I think we baked them a little too long.

- Yeah. You baked the rolls a bit long, all right.

But don't worry, we'll just make some new ones.

- What's keeping the children?

- They're still not home. - What's that?

- I said, what's keeping the kids.

They're still not home.

- Oh, I'm sure they're next door at pippi's.

- So, can't they come home on time for a change?

- Yes, yes.

J“ we're all together yes all together j“

j'and together we'll be happy j“

j'and we'll have a lot of fun j“

j“ we're all together yes all together j“

j'and together we will have a lot of fun j“

- My goodness!

We were supposed to be home for dinner at eight, Tom.

Wow, are we late.

- Well, you may be a little late for dinner,

but you'll be very early for breakfast.

- So long, pippi. - See you tomorrow.

- Okay! Bye!

- Hi! Have you two had your dinner already?

- Naturally.

Since when do we have dinner at ten o'clock?

- Gosh! Can that be the right time?

- It can.

And if you can't look at your watch once in awhile,

you can forget all about going to pippi's anymore.

- We didn't come late on purpose.

- We just forgot. - You forgot.

That's no excuse.

I'm getting tired of this. You two are always late.

- Yes, and you're always scolding us.

- I Don t scold! - Yes, you do!

- You think I scolded? - No.

- I get worried, that's all.

- Well, yeah.

- Books. Always reading them.

What are you reading about now?

- Don't forget to brush your teeth!

- If we ever make up our minds to run away,

this'll be han dy.

- I said, don't forget to brush your teeth!

- No!

Ha, what fun these kids in this book have

by running away from home.

- Don't forget to wash your neck, and behind your ears!

- Tommy! We should do what the kids in the book do.

Run away from home and avoid all this scolding!

- Old man, old man! - Come here, boy.

Come over here.

We're going for a little ride.

- These rolls are superb! - Yeah, they're good.

- Something is crawling on you.

- Got it? - Mm-hm...

- A bug? - Mm-hm.

- Hey, watch out! - A gnat.

It's customary to greet others in the morning, Tom.

- Morning.

[Giggfingl

-alright.

That ends the reading at the table.

Here comes pippi!

- Good morning. - Hi!

- Good morning, pippi.

- Now I must run, or I'll be late at the office.

- So long. - So long.

- So long. - See you later.

- So long.

- Pippi, will you join us for breakfast?

- No, thanks, I've had breakfast already.

- So long. - Bye, daddy.

- What are we doing today, pippi?

-Ah, I think I know.

Tommy and annikaare weeding the strawberry patch.

- What? Weed the strawberries?

- Today? - Mm-hm.

- Just when we're having great weather!

Can't we do that another day?

- That's what you always say.

No, now is the time.

- That is the most awful thing I can think of.

- If it isn't done today, the weeds are going to

- take over. - Let the weeds take over!

I don't wan na stay here and weed the strawberry patch,

when we're having such a beautiful day.

- I won't! - What's wrong, Annika?

You never behave like a spoiled child.

Now you pick up that pitcher.

Don't leave it lying there.

Get some more milk.

And you don't have to look sour just because this happened.

-Yes, I do.

Because you're scolding and scolding all the time.

- I really Don t, do I? - Yes, you do!

I'm gonna run away, like...

Like the kids in that Swedish book Tommy is reading.

- Sure, go ahead. Run away.

- You Don t believe it, but I'll do it.

Just watch.

- Hey, Annika! - I'll run away with you.

So long, mama, we're running away.

I guess they mean it.

- Yep. It'll be nice without 'em.

- Nice, you say? - Mm-hm.

- Oh, you don't know how bad it feels

to have a fight with your children.

- Say, pippi... - Hm?

- Would they really run away?

- It isn't bad for kids to escape now and then.

Then you can rest up.

- Oh please don't, pippi. - Don't tease like that.

I think they're serious about this.

- Should I plan to accompany them on their expedition,

you think?

- Oh, that's fine, pippi. - Would you?

- Why not?

- They don't mind taking orders from you.

- Mrs. Settergren? - Yes?

- Take care of Mr. Nilsson till we're back?

- Why not?

- I'll bring him over when we're ready to leave.

- See ya. - Okay, see you.

- Gee, Tommy.

Where could we run away to, you suppose?

And what if pippi doesn't run away with us?

- Hey! What are you guys doing here?

By now I thought you would have been half way down

to the cow pasture.

- Pippi, can you run away with us?

- Run away, from here? - Why? What for?

I don't have to weed strawberries.

- Oh, couldn't you anyway?

There's no fun in it, otherwise.

- Hmm... - Oh gee, pippi.

- Okay, but we'll have to make sandwiches.

You need a lot of sandwiches when you're running away.

Now look, Mr. Nilsson. While I'm away,

you behave the way you would in a real fine house,

not the way you do at villa ville-kulla, understand?

_ hli

- here's Mr. Nilsson.

- Good, I'll put him in the house.

Pippi, you don't think he'll try to run away, too,

- do you? - No, not him.

He s a real homebody.

Mr. Nilsson, you do exactly as you've been told, hm?

See ya!

- Oh, oh, pippi! - Yeah?

- You will be sure to keep an eye on them?

- Yep. And you keep an eye on Mr. Nilsson, too, okay?

He can be ouitea handful. Bye.

What on earth?

Mr. Nilsson. Oh, the chandelier!

Good heavens! Come down!

The curtains! My new curtains!

No! No! Mr. Nilsson, no, no.

Get off the piano.

Come on!

Grandmother's vase!

- You say you didn't bring any golden coins?

- Nope, that's half the fun of it.

Getting along without money.

- But can we do that? - Why not?

The whole world is full of people who have no money!

And you asked if it can be done.

Really, Tommy!

J“ wake up you lazy bones j“

j“ there's a lot of work to do j“

j“ but the lazy bone says not today j“

j“ tomorrow I'll work for you j“

j“ wake up you lazy bones j“

j“ you have work to do today j“

j“ but the lazy bone says not today j“

j“ today I'm going out to play j“

j“ tra la la la la la j“

j“ how hard I'll work tomorrow j“

j“ tra la la la la la j“

j“ that's why I'm resting up today j“

j“ wake up you lazy bones j“

j“ well you rested yesterday j“

j'and the things you said you'd do tomorrow j“

j“ you must do today j“

j“ tra la la la la la j“

j“ I'll do them all tomorrow j“

j“ tra la la la la la j“

j“ that's why I'm resting up today j“

j“ wake up you lazy bones j“

j“ use your fingers and your thumbs j“

j“ don't you put it off for another day j“

j“ for tomorrow never comes j“

- your mother wrote that little ditty, didn't she?

This is great.

- Yeah, but I don't think we're gonna have

any really great adventures just by running away.

- You can never tell, Annika.

Let's just hope for the best.

Wild strawberries, there. You see?

Groundhogs!

- Oh, neat!

Have you ever seen a groundhog before, Tommy?

- Uh-uh. - Neither did I.

- And you didn't think we were gonna have any adventures.

I think we're off to a swell start.

- Yeah, me too!

- Here. - Thanks, it is lovely.

J“ we're all together j“

j“ yes all together j“

j'and together we'll be happy j“

j'and we'll have a lot of fun j“

j“ we're all together j“

j“ yes all together j“

j'and together we will have a lot of fun j“

j“ we're all togeth... j“

- Which way are we going to go now?

- We'll flip a coin.

That's the only way to decide.

- Thought you said you didn't bring any coins?

- I've gota penny.

Heads.

Looks like we're going to the right.

Okay, giddy up, old man.

- What a dinky little road.

- Dinky or not, Annika.

Once you flip a coin, that's it.

- It'll begin to rain soon, too, you'll see.

- In that book when the kids run away,

it never seemed to rain.

- Now where are we going to spend the night?

- There's a place for a night.

You can always find some place.

For all we know,

around this bend there may be a beautiful castle.

A castle where there may be a count,

who's expecting us.

As I predicted, there's the castle.

Some castle.

- Stay, old man. - This won't last forever.

Justa passing thunderstorm.

Sure is a dependable old horse, isn't he?

- Pippi, what are we going to do now?

We can't run away without old man.

- Ah, we'll get along.

- But suppose he keeps on running, and never comes back?

- Ah, he'll most likely return to villa ville-kulla,

and keep the hot chocolate warm

until we get back.

Come!

We can't stay here forever.

- Gee, pippi! It's scary.

- Would it help to hold on to my apron?

- Someone's playing, I think.

- Ohh, it's probablya ghost.

- Maybe it's an angel who has run away from heaven.

- I'm scared.

- My papa always says "keep calm in the storm".

So whoever's in there, I'm gonna look him

straight in the eye.

Tommy, come on!

Hi!

Welcome! There's the sofa.

Or if you prefer, you can sit in the easy chair.

- Thanks!

I think I'll take the rocking chair.

- The rocking chair then.

That's a fine rocking chair.

- Yes. A little rickety, though.

Lovely weather.

- Yeah, if you don't mind lightning.

- Yes. That's a good point.

Well, we must get acquainted.

I am called Conrad, and you are?

- Well, we're not called Conrad.

I'm pippi, and they're tommyandannika.

- A pleasure to meet you.

And little Annika is so scared,

her heart must be in her throat.

Now, what are you scared of, Annika,

me or the lightning?

- B-b-b-b... well, both.

- Lightning I can't do anything about.

But me, you don't have athing to worry about.

Just a... an ordinary country peddler,

who is as dangerous to you as...

Well, as an earth worm.

- You're a peddler, you say?

What's a peddler do?

- Goes around from house to house selling things.

- Don't you know that? - And what do you sell?

- Oh, well...

- Trinkets, frills, gadgets, brocaded doodads,

that no one but a real old lady will buy.

- What do you mean, "trinkets, gadgets,

"and doodads"?

Listen, young lady, I sell Conrad's super gluer.

The super glue that sticks when other glues come unstuck.

Observe!

Conrad's gripping super gluer has got super strength.

- Nothing like it. - Let me see it!

- Here you are, young man.

Now be careful you don't get stuck,

because you'll have to remain stuck forever.

Yes, sirree, Conrad's gripping super gluer

is much more than a glue.

Thousand and one handy household uses.

Wash dishes with Conrad's super gluer

and you'll never have to wash those dishes again.

Smeara little on your bricks when you build your house,

and you'll have to dynamite the house to tear it down.

Feed your hens a little super gluer,

and you'll get unbreakable eggs.

You can't beat that.

A little joke there, kids.

Unbreakable eggs. Nobody can beat that.

J“ here comes pippi longstocking j“

j“ hope and a hey and a hope sha-nah j“

j“ here comes pippi longstocking j“

j“ watch out here I come j“

- I knew the super gluer was good, alright.

But not that good.

- Tommy! Annika!

Look, up here! On the ceiling!

This stuff is really sticky!

- Hey, you have to be careful

not to get stuck up there!

- Don't worry. I can get down.

Okay, watch out, here I come.

Well, now I know how flies feel.

They must have fun!

- Will you look at that.

Hmm, some weather we're having.

- But suppose we didn't have any weather at all.

That would be worse.

- How beautiful it is when there's lightning.

- I sure do agree. - The same for me.

-And you, Annika?

- I just hate lightning. - I wish I were home now.

- No, you don't. - Yes, I do!

- Then, when the storm's over, you'll remember

the strawberry patch and change your mind again.

- Pippi, what are we gonna eat?

- Say, that's right, Tommy. - It's time to eat.

- Ohh, what is this. - I'm stuck here.

I got the beard caught in Conrad's own super gluer.

Ohh! I told you it was good.

Sticks to everything, including my beard.

It's guaranteed!

- Tommy, you should be ashamed of yourself.

- Whose inspiration was it to spread glue all over

this darned window sill?

- It was my idea.

- I may be spending the rest of my life like this.

- I'm strong, Conrad. - I'll get you loose.

Now let's just take it easy.

- No! No! No! Don't do that.

It feels like you're pulling the beard out

by the roots. Please!

- Get me the scissors, then.

- Well, it's better than going through life

sporting that pane of glass hanging from my beard.

So this glue is really strong, at least.

Hey! You missed this.

See? Right here.

- Oh yeah! - Snip.

I was thinking of giving up the glue business,

but I'll stick with it.

- This is a nicer dinner than I expected.

- These hot dogs are delicious, Conrad.

- Eh, say, pippi.

Can I get one of those hot dogs with a pickle from you?

- Mm-hm. Here. - Thank you.

So you're running away, are you?

Ya, well, in away, so am I.

- From prison, or somewhere like that?

- No, are you?

No, I'm running and running.

Running a little farther every day,

because I think it's more fun somewhere else,

and you know, sometimes it is.

- Here, for example?

- Yeah, you don't have to wash behind your ears...

One minute! What are you up to there?

- Mommy said that even when you run away

you should wash behind your ears.

You should, too.

- Well thank your mother, kindly, for being so...

Observant.

Take good care of this, young man.

It's my security blanket. I'd be lost without it.

- Good night. - All: Good night.

- Plop.

Plop.

Plop.

- Plop.

Plop.

Plop.

- Plop. - Plop.

Plop.

- Plop, plop.

Conrad!

We forgot to wash behind your ears.

- Eh, sometimes I get lucky.

- Promise me you'll do it in the morning.

Or I'll have to do it myself.

You're beginning to sound like your mama, Annika.

Just what makes you so concerned with ears, huh?

- I hate to think of you traveling all alone,

and being dirty behind your ears.

You ought to clean them.

- But he won't be more alone with dirty ears,

will he?

- No one notices these ears.

- But you can have clean ears anyway, can't ya?

- Oh! A philosopher.

That's just what I need.

All these years, no one has found anything wrong

with these ears.

-Annika, forget all about washing them.

We're seeing Conrad for the last time.

- I know. It's sad, isn't it?

- Plop, plop.

- Plop.

Goodbye, little Annika.

I'm on my way, before you wake up

and start washing my ears.

- Conrad! You come back here!

I won't wash your ears. I promise.

He doesn't hear me.

- Oh well, say good-bye to him, kids.

- We have his glue though. - Oh, that's good.

- Pipp|. - Hm?

- This stinky little country path leads nowhere.

Shouldn't we be heading back again to the main road?

- Oh no, once you flip a coin, there's no going back.

- Yes, but... - Yes but, yes but, nothing.

We have to go wherever this little road takes us.

- How we're gonna get down there?

- There's no little road down the cliff, pippi.

- Now we have to turn back. - Oh no, we don't.

Not when we have all these gadgets.

Throw the knapsacks down there.

- Why? We might need them later.

- I said throw 'em down, not throw 'em away.

- Pippi, why don't we just use Conrad's super glue?

- Oh, we don't need super glue for easy work like this.

- If one of us slips, we'll all fall together.

- Don't worry.

I'm sticking to this cliff like a rock.

- Long as I live, I'll never again toss a penny.

Pippi! Pippi!

Pippi! Pippi!

- Don't get excited. - Pippi!

-Try to grab hold of the cliff!

- Pippi! - You can't stand like that.

It's impossible that way.

- Yeah, but don't tell anyone.

- Tommy, some day you'll laugh yourself to death.

- Okay, hang on! - I'm going to climb down.

- Great!

J“ we're all together yes all together j“

j'and together we'll be happy j“

j'and we'll have a lot of fun j“

j“ we're all together yes all together j“

j'and together we will have a lot of fun j“

- How are you guys doing?

Are we going to have anything to eat?

- Keep quiet.

You're scaring away the fish.

- I am not.

- You gota bite, Tommy!

Pull it in, quick, pull it in!

- It's great!

And to think mom wanted us to stay home

and weed the Berry patch.

- Well, there's nothing left.

We ate everything.

- Oh no, we didn't. - Here's the good part.

J“ wake up you lazy bones j“

j“ there's a lot of work to do j“

j“ but the lazy bone says not today j“

j“ tomorrow I will work for you j“

you two should've been there the time

I went over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

That was something!

-Aw, that's not true, pippi.

- It's absolutely true.

You watch, and I'll show you just how I did it.

- Pippi, that's crazy!

- Don't be silly. - There's nothing to it.

- No, don't do it.

- Stop jabbering and put the lid on.

Let's go.

Okay, that's good. Now give me a shove.

J“ here comes pippi longstocking j“

j“ hope and a hey and a hope sha-nah j“

J“ here comes pippi longstocking j“

j“ watch out here I come j“

come on in, the water's fine!

- Come, Annika.

We d better see where she's gonna land.

- There she is! There she is!

Tommy, we're never going to be able to get her.

J“ wake up you lazy bone j“

j“ there's a lot of work to do j“

j“ but the lazy bone says not today j“

j“ tomorrow I'll work for you j“

j“ wake up you lazy bone you have work to do today j“

- Pippi! - Can you see the barrel?

- No. It's disappeared. - I'm worried.

There are rapids and waterfalls all the way down.

J“ tra la la la la la j“

j“ how hard I'll work tomorrow j“

j“ tra la la la la la j“

j“ that's why I'm resting up today j“

Hmm, must be getting shallow.

Probably the end of the line.

Nice ride.

Okay, folks, this is it. Everybody off!

Gee, I must have gone pretty far.

Too bad Tommy and Annika couldn't come with me.

Tommy! Annika!

Hope they aren't too far away.

Tommy! Annika!

- We'll never find her.

- Oh, don't say that, Annika.

- I know.

I'll cover my eyes and slowly count to ten.

One, two, three...

When I open my eyes, tommyandannika

will be standing right there.

Six, seven, eight,

nine, ten.

- You think pippi could have come ashore

on the other side of the river?

- Yeah! We d better try to swim over.

Pretty shallow here.

- Tommy! Annika!

Tommy! Annika!

Tommy! Annika!

Where can they be?

- Tommy, we can sleep here tonight.

- Annika! Come and look.

A deer, or is that an elk?

- Amoose, maybe. - Pippi would know.

- Oh, ialways wanted to peta deer, Tom.

- Wait, Annika. - It might be afraid of us.

- Where is pippi? - We'll never find her.

We're-we're going to starve to death.

- Hmm. These are the last sandwiches.

- I'm so tired. - I wanna go to sleep.

- Underneath that spruce.

That looks like a pretty good place.

- I could sleep for two weeks.

- Me too. - Both: Good night.

- What's wrong, Annika? - Ants!

Go lie down on the ant hill and laugh yourself silly!

Oh, don't get sore.

How dumb we were not to stay in that

nice little shed.

- Hey! Maybe we could find our way back there.

- I think I've gone crazy.

Lying here while Tom and Annika become lost.

You're crazy, pippi.

Go and find them!

- Ahh, it's nice and warm over here.

Feel it, Tom.

- Good morning, hedgehogs.

Well, if Tommy and Annika went down the river,

and that's what they must have done,

they're out of the woods by now,

andabicycle is just what I need

to look for them.

- At last!

We're finally out of the woods.

- Yeah, but we still have to find our way home again.

- We've gone a thousand miles from home.

- We've the chance to starve to death going home.

Oh, I'm hungry.

- What are you doing there?

- Well, see, I need a bicycle.

I must have a bicycle to ride around and look for something.

- Look for what?

Have you lost something valuable?

- Sort of. A couple of kids.

- But I only have one penny. - That's too bad.

But look, this kind of junk you can have for nothing.

But what you can do with it, I don't know.

- Thanks. I know what I can do with it.

- Hey, look!

- Mmm! Stuffed cabbage.

- Yeah, and fried chicken.

- Do I love stuffed cabbage.

- Oh, fried chicken is the greatest.

- You see the pancakes there?

- What made us run away from home anyway?

- Tommy! Annika!

Ooh!

- Pipipi! - Pippi!

- Where on earth have you been?

- Everywhere, I think.

- Hey, what's all that junk?

- Oh, I got it in ajunkyard.

- But you only had a penny.

- Oh, the guy said I could just have it free.

- Boy, am I glad we found you again, pippi.

- Will you get out of the street?

- How am I gonna get through here?

- Let's go! - Yeah, let's go.

- Okay, we're moving.

- You're holding up traffic!

- You're holding up traffic.

- But pippi, nobody's able to ride atwo-wheel bike

without wheels.

- You know you're right. - I never thought of that.

I might as well dump it.

- Pippi, I'm so hungry, I think I'm going to faint.

- Yeah, me too.

We have to think of away to raise some money.

- Will you kids get away and leta man get his rest!

J“ there lived a man with one request j“

j“ the kids would scram so he could rest j“

- you fresh kids, get out of here!

J“ then to show them what he would do j“

j“ he pitched his shoe j“

oh, he threw a pair.

And th ey're exactly the same size as mine.

Thank you very much.

I really needed a new pair of shoes.

- What do you mean "thank you?"

Give me back those shoes!

You fresh kid, you bring back those shoes

- well, you got rid of these yourself, so you

ought to be the one who takes them back, sir.

J“ wake up you lazy bones you have work to do today j“

J“ got his shoes with lots of luck j“

j“ and he learnt that they were stuck j“

Oh, don't get angry.

No one can ever take them from you now.

- Mmm, stuffed cabbage!

- Fried chicken! - Pancakes!

- Oh, it's great running away from home, huh?

- Though it's hard walking place to place.

- Why walk when there are other ways to go?

By train, for instance.

Tommy, Annika, hurry up!

- Pippi, it's scary.

- Why be scared?

Trains are a very safe way to travel any place.

Don't you think this is fun?

- I guess it is, once you get used to it.

- I think it's great. - Sure.

J“ I love the days of winter j“

j'and snowflakes in the Glen j“

j“ it hardly starts a-falling j“

j“ when spring returns again j“

j“ the daisies start a-blooming j“

j'the land is turning green j“

j'and soon the dragonfly will flit j“

j“ from every rippling stream j“

j“ the baby birds are chirping their hungry melody j“

j'and symphonies of flowers now serenade the bee j“

j“ the butterfly's emerging with multi-color wings j“

j“ but now we get mosquitoes and other pesky things j“

j“ yes summer brings mosquitoes j“

j'and ants and flies and allj'

j“ wellas I think about it j“

j“ we're better off in fall j“

j“ when snowflakes land in winter j“

j'and makes us come in sad j“

j“ we think of all those good days j“

j'and summer's not so bad j“

- look, pippi!

- What are you getting excited about?

It's only a tunnel.

- What are we gonna do now?

- Better get down on your stomach.

J“ yes summer brings mosquitoes j“

j'and ants and flies and all j“

You're filthy.

- You're the same way.

- Aye, say there!

Can you tell me what time it is, please?

Hello! Hello?

Isn't that strange?

- What's the matter? - Don't you feel well?

- No...

I'm awfully sick, I'm afraid.

- Say, look at that.

Wouldn't it be fun to ride on a haywagon?

- And how! - Mm-hmm!

-Jump, Tom!

- Woah, woah, woah, boy. Woah.

Nils August, you were told a thousand times,

don't eat the gravel.

- Papa, who's that up there in the hay?

- Up where?

Nobody's up in anybody's hay.

- Surprise!

We three bright and adorable kids.

- Who said you kids could ride on my wagon?

You d better get up and off of there.

- See, we came alongside too quickly for us to ask

your permission, but we're always glad to meet a farmer.

- Enough kids on this farm already.

We don't need any more.

- Well, that's good 'cause we can't stay around long enough

to cheer the place up the way children always do,

and even a good home can stand more cheering up.

- Pippi, the farmer doesn't seem to care for us.

- Oh, I think he's crazy about us.

Listen, sir.

Can we sleep in the hayloft tonight?

- Didn't you hear what I said before?

We got enough kids on this farm as it is.

- And very nice kids they are, too, but I think

that little one could use some help in learning how to walk.

Hi' h.

Really?

Horse.

Is that a horse?

Ah, you're a smart, right?

- Well, you can stay in the hayloft tonight.

- Okay.

- But then in the morning you have to leave again.

- Thank you! - Thank you very much!

- Hi! What's your name?

- It's Charlie, and-and his is olly,

- and his is Freddie. - He's Teddy.

- But that one there, what's his name?

- We call him pigsty, you see.

But his real name is nils August, ithink.

- I see why you call him pigsty.

- He sure is dirty.

- Well, that really isn't his fault, poor thing.

- Hey, look at me, I'm flying.

Pippi, will you stop that.

That's impossible and you know it.

- I know it is, but it's lots of fun anyway.

'Kay, now, let's get to sleep.

- Yeah, some difference in the way we slept last night.

- We're all together again.

Shh!

Something's there.

Maybe it's a ghost - no, it's four ghosts.

Hi, ghosts! You're going out haunting?

- We thought you'd like to have some rolls and milk

before going to bed.

- Mama said we should take this out to you guys.

- Your mother's a good baker, fellas.

One more minute in the oven and these rolls

would have been burnt.

- Mothers do come in handy, huh, Tommy?

- Hmm, sure do.

- Charlie swears when he thinks our parents

can't hear him.

- You do also. - It's not nice to swear.

- Ha, you should have heard Bernard johannson,

an old sea captain I once met in Yokohama.

He swore so that fire would issue from his mouth,

words so sweary and awful that men and women, too,

would collapse in there paths.

- Pippi, but you didn't collapse.

- Nah, 'cause I was used to it.

- Hey, I knowa real good swear-word.

- You wanna hear it? - Mm-hmm.

- I'll whisper it so the little kids don't hear it,

- okay? - Okay.

I can't hear it. You're tickling me.

Say it again.

- Ah, that's not awful. - I know an awful one.

- Hmm?

- Oh, that's not awful either, Charlie.

- I got one.

- Oh, you have one, too, Ollie?

Oh, this is most educational.

Freddie and Ted, you wanna get in this, too?

- Well, I could say "heck," but I can't say it out loud.

- Okay, whisper it.

- Heck. - Mm-hmm.

- I wanna go back to the house.

- Oh, don't cry 'cause you can't swear.

Plenty of time to learn while you're growing up.

- Besides, it's not nice.

I knowa swear-word, though.

Wanna hear it, pippi?

- Yes, let me hear it.

This ought to be very interesting.

- Whose word is the worst?

- Annika's was the worst swear-word of all.

- What did she say?

- I won't pollute the air in here

where we're staying repeating it.

But I'll yell it out the window.

"Shut your damned, cotton-pickin' mouth!"

Hey, don't you wanna go back to your mommy?

I guess you don't.

- Hey, there. - You're kind of cute.

Filthy looking ears. Hmm...

You know something?

I think we better scrub behind those ears, okay?

You want to be clean, don't you?

Now, isn't that better? Isn't it nice to be clean?

Hey, come back here!

You'll get all dirty again.

Will you come back here?

- You're nice. - But you know something?

You have cold little feet.

- Wow, am I hungry. - What have we got?

- Cold chicken and pancakes.

The last of the stuff we bought in town yesterday.

- Charlie, Charlie! Wait for us.

- Hey! They're gone.

- Gee, they didn't even say goodbye.

- That pippi was a strange one, wasn't she?

Sort of weird.

- Come on and join us.

We're sort of weird but so what.

We let you taste our pancakes

if you don't take big bites.

- Hi, you guys!

Uh-oh! Pa is coming.

He doesn't like us to climb up on the roof.

- He's going into the pasture.

He must have forgotten the bull's in there.

- He'll find out soon enough.

- How, Ollie?

- Don't know much about bulls, do you?

- What are you kids doing up there?

Come down! That roof is weak!

It won't take all that weight.

It's dangerous.

- You think we're in danger?

Look behind you.

- Watch out, papa!

Nils, get out of there!

Oh, nils August!

Ah! Toro!

Ole!

Ah, don't look so tough. Because I can be tough.

I haven't got any horns,

but I can be just as ornery as you, buster.

Ole!

Well, don't just stand there looking stupid.

Make me back off!

Hey, nils.

Hurray, pippi!

- Hey, aren't you scared?

You know she could get killed.

Couldn't happen.

Don t you know that pippi is the strongest kid

in the world?

- Ole!

Find it hard? You'd better back out.

You're washed-up, believe me.

- Pippi, you saved his life.

I'd like to reward you somehow.

- Oh, just watching him eat his pebbles is reward enough.

- Hey, look at this old convertible.

Is it neat!

- Oh, that car doesn't work.

That car hasn't run for years.

- Well, I think it's great anyway.

- How'd you like to own it?

- Own it? - Yeah.

If you can have any fun with it?

- I certainly could. - Can I really have it?

- Yeah, it's yours.

Only you have to remove it.

And since you can't do that you'll have to

come here to play with it.

Tommy, Annika!

I have a convertible. Imagine!

My own convertible.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Let's get all this junk out of here.

- Hurry, Annika.

We're almost finished here.

Hey, pippi!

That's ordinary rain water that you're pouring

- into the gas tank. - Sure is.

A-1-quality rain water.

It's extra pure, the best there is.

- Cars don't run on rain water.

- No, but we're gonna put in a little

of Conrad's super gluer.

- So long! - So long.

Goodbye.

- Okay, we'll leave you now.

Thanks for everything. Goodbye.

Stop! Come back here!

Come back!

What do you think you're doing?

Children can't drive a car, don't you know that?

- Maybe so.

But this is pippi longstocking.

She can even saila ship.

- Brakes, pippi! - You d better slow down.

- They Don t work.

There'll be a huge explosion of super glue soon,

I bet you, just watch.

- Ha, there's the bang.

- Yeah, Conrad must have put dynamite

in the super glue, that rascal.

- Oh, the knapsack, pippi! - It fell off!

- Don't worry, I'll get it.

- Pippi! Pippi!

Put on the brakes, Tommy, quick!

- They don't work. - You know that.

- Hurry, pippi!

You're gaining, you're gaining.

Just go a little faster!

You're gaining.

Just a bit faster.

You made it!

Pippi, if we don't slow down, this car's gonna fly away.

- Hey, I bet we can make it fly.

Fasten your seatbelts, we're taking off!

Up and away, up and away! See, I told you.

Lift off. We're going up.

Feel it?

Climbing toa thousand feet.

I d go higher, but then you need oxygen.

- Pippi, we can't stay up there.

How are we gonna get down?

-Annika, whatever goes up, must come down.

There's a nice looking spot.

Flaps down.

Look out below!

Flaps down a bit more.

- Hey, down there.

Haven't you ever heard a convertible

fly over your ship?

- Look out, pippi!

The cliff! The cliff!

- Flaps up! Flaps up!

Flaps up! Flaps up!

Up and away! Up and away!

J“ up and awayand a hope sha-nah j“

j“ here comes pippi longstocking j“

j“ hope and a hey and a hope sha-nah j“

- better put your flaps up again, pippi.

We're getting much too low.

- Okay.

H ey, h ey, h ey.

Just flew in from Toledo. Are my arms tired.

- We're getting too low. - Could the car fall?

- No, no.

Conrad's glue is so strong, it'll flya plane.

- But what happens when the glue's used up?

- What'll we do? - That's right.

- Then what will we do? - We land.

- Hey! We can land in that field.

It looks nice and flat.

- Okay. We'll try it.

- The trees! The trees!

- Up and away. Up and away.

Up and away. Up and away.

J“ hope and a hey and a hope sha-nah! J“

- over, there, pippi. Do you think you can land?

- No, too late.

We're gonna have to try and make it over these trees.

Flaps up!

Flaps up!

Up, up, up and away.

Annika, isn't this the most exciting thing

you've ever done in your whole life?

- Oh! - Help!

- Look out, down there!

It's suddenly raining cars!

- The door!

- It's raining an entire junkyard!

- You have to stop some time, pippi.

- That's right. Soon I think.

The tank of super glue is just about out.

- Flap your wings. - That won't help.

- We're out of fuel. - We can't land on water.

- Yeah, right, there s where we'll be landing.

- Aswim would be nice. - Pippi!

- Hey! Tommy, Annika!

- My knees feel weak. - Because you're scared.

But why should you be? Pippi was driving.

- Come on in, you guys, the water's fine.

- Coming in! Isn't this great?

Perfect navigation.

You landed right on the beach.

- Last one in is arotten egg, Annika.

- No fair, you ve had a head start.

- Ahh, the water is great. - Gee, this is swell.

Get into the water, Annika.

- No. You know what I forgot to do?

I forgot to wash up first.

- Wash up! - This isn'ta pool, Annika.

- It's a lake. - It makes no difference.

You're supposed to wash up first.

- Don't forget to wash behind your ears!

- Very funny, Tom.

You can go around likea dirty pig, but I won't.

- Some day, Annika's gonna be head

of the sanitation department.

- Come on, Annika, put down the soap.

Come into the water first.

- Annika is so clean.

- Pippi, come over here and get washed up.

We've been running away a long time and we are dirty.

Sit down.

- Take it easy, will you!

You're getting soap in my eyes.

- But you want to be clean, don't you?

- Not that clean. - My eyes aren't dirty.

- Oh, Don t be a baby.

Don t.

Okay, smart Alec, now it's your turn.

All right.

Let's stop that.

We don't have a car anymore so we d better

start walking.

- Hey, look!

Our clothes are gone. Someone took our clothes.

- Yeah, and I know who.

-And you thought I was stupid

swimming with my clothes on.

- But this is no good, pippi.

Very hard to run away without any clothes on.

- Hi. Do you have a couple of empty sacks I can take?

- Oh, if you can wait around for about an hour.

There are a few under that stack you see there.

- Do you mind if I help you load the stack?

Then I think it will go fast.

- No, I don't mind.

J“ here comes pippi longstocking j“

j“ hope and a hey and a nah j“

What's that?

The new style, honey?

I love the make of that dress.

- Hey, what are they supposed to be?

- They are a couple from Egypt.

You re too young.

You'll understand when you're bigger.

- Boy, we sure must get clothing

because we can't go on like this.

- Can't go to a clothing shop.

For the money we got playing is all gone.

- Then, we'll sing upa regular hurricane to raise

- more money for clothes. - I knowasad song.

Once there were three children poor...

- It must have sad words to make all parents

break down and cry.

Make them think we're mighty brave as well.

- We'll sing a song so sad, people will give us

both money and blood. You have to think poor.

Now, in what country do kids dress as poorly as that?

- Some do in Turkey.

J“ just look at these poor Turkish kids j“

j“ they haven't any clothes j“

j“ their mother's gone away j“

j“ their father's gone away j“

j'and these poor Turkish kids haven't eaten nothing j“

j“ in fourteen days j“

j“ but th ey're not torn apart j“

j“ they've got miles and miles of heart j“

j“ 'cause j“

j“ heart is what we're made of j“

j“ nothing gets us down j“

j“ we laugh at the rain and we think it's swell j“

j“ where we sleep tonight we don't know j“

j“ we don't even care j“

j“ old man trouble he can't scare you j“

j“ as long as you've got heart hey! J“

j'forj'

j“ heart is what we're made of nothing gets us down j“

j“ we laugh at the rain and we say it s fair j“

j“ where we sleep tonight we don't know j“

j“ we don't even care j“

j“ old man trouble he can't scare you j“

j“ as long as you've got heart hey! J“

- boy! These are the stingiest people I've ever seen.

Look at this. 17 cents.

- 17 cents?

That's not even enough for a new shirt sleeve.

- Now, we'll have to do better than that next time.

Ladies and gentlemen!

Your kind attention, please.

Your attention, please.

You're about to see one of the greatest attractions

in the world.

An aerial artist who will walkatightrope

high over the street.

It'll all cost you justa quarter.

That's right.

Just one quarter to see this death-defying act.

The great pippilano will actually challenge

the law of gravity by walking a high tightrope

before your very eyes. It's a bargain, friends.

Those who don't pay will be asked to cover their eyes.

My assistants, dressed in special uniforms,

will pass among you, friends.

When they do, give them your quarters.

You'll be helping to buy clothing for needy children.

- Bravo! - One quarter.

- 25 cents. - One quarter.

- 25 cents. - One quarter.

- 25 cents. - One quarter.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- One quarter, please.

- 25 cents. Thank you.

- One quarter. Thank you.

One quarter, sir.

Sir, if you want to see the tightrope act,

the price is a quarter.

- If you don't pay you have to cover your eyes.

-All right, ladies and gentlemen.

Now here we go.

- Can't anyone stop that girl?

- Well, that was pretty good, wasn't it?

But if you think that was something you should have seen

my grandmother.

She could really walk atightrope, friends.

Ooh, you should have seen the things she could do.

You wouldn't believe it.

One day they tooka rope and tied one end to a steeple

and the other to city hall.

Then they said to her, "go, fia, walk upon this tightrope."

Well, I'm not sure I can do it, my grandmother

shook her head, and up she went on the tightrope.

Now, grandma was ninety years old, but she walked

back and forth on that tightrope so many times,

friends, she wore the soles out of three pairs of shoes,

and still she wanted to keep on walking.

"Yes, fia, now we see that you can walkatightrope".

That's what the crowd yelled to her.

"Come on down and have a cup of coffee", they shouted.

But grandma was having such a good time,

she didn't want to come down.

She decided she'd rather hang upside down

to get a bat's eye view of them.

So she covered her face,

'cause bats can't see in daylight.

And when they said "fia, why are you doing that?",

she answered, "well, to take up the tightrope,

"you have to be a little batty."

- Mommy, my balloon!

- The poor thing.

Everyone called her dingbat after that.

She wasn't batty

though she did develop ataste for mosquitos.

But she sure could walkatightrope.

All I can do is this.

- What's going on here?

Just why is everybody assembled this way?

Huh? Aye-yi-yi!

- Tommy, Annika! - The policeman hasn't paid!

- If you wanna watch it'll cost a quarter.

- One second.

Walking the tightrope requires a permit, see?

Where do you two come from?

- From home, of course. - Aha.

And your parents know what you're doing here?

Ah, we d better begin a little investigation, I think.

If it turns out your parents...

Ta da!

- Ooh, whata nice shirt that is.

- It's all nice. Let's go in.

I need a shirtand a pair of pants, please.

- Me too. I hope this is enough.

- Oh, that looks very good on you, Annika.

- Does it? - Uh-huh.

- Stop right there, you kids.

I have something very serious to say to you.

You d better come with me to the police station.

- Why?

- It's against the law to walkatightrope.

And besides, it's extremely dangerous.

Well, first of all, I think I d better

notify your parents about all this.

- Mighty hard thing,

but you can certainly try it, officer.

- I'm sorry, kids.

I think I'm going to have to keep you here awhile.

We must find out if you're running away from home.

And where you live.

In the meantime I'm going to have to lock you up.

I hate to do it, but if you are runaways,

we can't have you running away again.

Imagine how that would reflect on us police.

The mayor would turn purple.

We must watch kids who are runaways.

- This boy and girl seem always to be escaping

or running away from a nice home.

Say, would you like a caramel?

- Thanks, very nice. - How about you two?

- Great. - All right.

- Thanks.

- Thanks.

- So...

Good night. Sleep well.

All: Good night.

- I'll be seeing you.

- Don't be so darned sure.

Too bad...

He's a nice police officer.

- Pippi, should we take his candy?

- No. Leave it for the other kids

who are caught running away.

Tommy, Annika.

-Any idea how long we've been walking?

- Forever, I think.

This blister really is starting to hurt.

- I'm tired and wetand hungry.

We should have stayed in jail,

we'd have been better off.

- I think we d be better off if we had stayed home,

to begin with.

- Hey, look! Conrad.

- I never thought we'd see him again.

- Oh, how nice he looks when he's asleep.

I wonder how I look when I sleep.

- I'll tell you how. - You look just like

a girl who's asleep.

- What? What's happening?

My goodness.

So it's you kids again, eh?

Whatasurprise, isn't it. Yes.

-Annika thinks you look just adorable when you sleep.

- Conrad, got any food? - No, and you?

- No.

- Well, you know, that's the way it is

when you're running away.

Sometimes you may eat, sometimes not.

But you're always on the move.

- Gee! This broom is great.

I've been looking for one like this for a long time.

Maybe I'll take it home with me and use it

to sweep up villa ville-kulla.

By now it must need a good clean.

- You know, if you were a witch you could fly home on it.

- Yeah, I could, couldn't I?

- Or else you could geta ride on that horse

coming out there.

- Hey! That's old man!

- Oh yeah! Old man, old man!

- I don't wanna have to say goodbye again, Conrad.

- Well... either do I.

- You come and visit us, won't you, please, Conrad?

- But...

- Of course, you have to get permission first.

- Oh, you come any time to villa ville-kulla.

- You don't need permission. - Thank you.

- We'll buy your super gluer.

- Yeah, don't forget.

Conrad's super gluer is a glue that sticks to everything.

- So you ran off and left us.

Oh, I'm glad to see you anyway, you little old man.

J“ we're all together we're all together j“

j'and together... j“

- Listen! - What?

- I think they're back. - Yes, they're here.

- Mama, daddy! - We're back.

-Ahh, let me see you, let me see you.

- Soaking wet. - Well, it was raining.

- Home at last!

- Boy, I'm glad to be home.

It s good to see you.

- They're both glad to be back.

- You're soaked, you're just like a little sardine.

- We have to get you out of these wet things.

Isn't it nice having them back?

- Mr. Nilsson, you're glad to see pippi again?

- You all must be starved.

- Has it been hard behaving yourself

in a nice house?

- Pippi, aren't you going to have something, too?

- Maybe just a sausage.

I have to get home and see if villa ville-kulla is okay.

- Thanks for your help. - It's alright.

So long, see you tomorrow.

- So long. - Goodbye, pippi!

- Thanks for running away with us.

- Mama, tomorrow Tommy and I will weed the strawberry patch.

R wake up you lazy bones r

- Are those new clothes you bought?

- Yeah. A cow ate up our stuff while swimming.

- Acow? - Sure.

You know, cow.

It gives milk, and has horns,

and it says moo.

- But kids!

Please, don't tell us you did anything

that was awfully risky.

Ah, good night, Annika.

Good night.

- You get a good night's sleep.

We'll see you in the morning, huh?

- Okay. - Good night, Annika.

- Good night. - You sleep well, 'night.

- Night.

Little pillow, how nice you are.

Isn't it sad that pippi has no mama or papa with her?

- Yeah, it really is.

See that, the rain stopped, Annika.

Probably because we're home once more.

- Naturally.

While we were running awa...

-Huh?

- Hi, you!

It's going a little crooked because I'm not used to it yet.

But you just wait, though.

Tomorrow when we're weeding that strawberry patch,

we're going to have lots of fun.

- Well, but, pippi, that old broom won't fly

through the air like that.

- Fly through the air? - Well, of course!

You may know that the broom can't fly,

but the broom doesn't know it.
