CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.

Narrator: FRIENDS, LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF.

PELTZER'S THE NAME, RAND PELTZER.

THAT'S ME THERE ON THE CORNER.

I'M AN INVENTOR,

AND I HAVE A STORY TO TELL.

YEAH, I KNOW.

WHO HASN'T GOT A STORY?

WELL, NOBODY'S GOT A STORY LIKE THIS ONE.

NOBODY.

IT ALL STARTED HERE IN CHINATOWN.

I WAS HITTING THE SHOPS, TRYING TO MOVE MERCHANDISE,

MAYBE FIND A PRESENT FOR MY KID.

I TRIED THIS ONE PLACE.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT'S DOWN HERE?

THIS IS IT.

THIS IS YOUR GRANDFATHER'S STORE?

YEAH. COME ON.

NO WONDER YOU GOT TO DRAG PEOPLE IN OFF THE STREET.

WELL, GO AHEAD, MISTER. LOOK AROUND.

SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU LIKE.

ARE THESE THINGS REAL?

I TOLD YOU. EVERYTHING'S REAL.

WELL, FRIENDS,

YOU DO HAVE A LOT OF INTERESTING ARTIFACTS HERE,

BUT THERE'S ONE THING YOU DON'T HAVE.

AND WHAT'S THAT?

WELL, LET ME SHOW YOU.

I GOT IT RIGHT HERE.

I'M AN INVENTOR. I MADE THIS--

THE BATHROOM BUDDY.

THE INVENTION OF THE CENTURY, FRIENDS.

IT ELIMINATES THE NEED TO CARRY HEAVY LUGGAGE

AND THINGS WHEN YOU TRAVEL.

YOU GOT YOURSELF YOUR SHAVING MIRROR.

YOU GOT YOURSELF YOUR TOOTHBRUSH.

YOU GOT YOURSELF A TOOTHPICK,

YOU GOT TOENAIL CLIPPERS. YOU GOT--

NAIL FILE. YOU GOT YOURSELF A DENTAL MIRROR.

THIS IS GONNA REVOLUTIONIZE TRAVELING.

NOW, LET'S JUST SAY, FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT,

THAT YOU'RE ON A BUS OR A PLANE OR A TRAIN.

YOU FORGOT TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH.

YOU GOT YOURSELF A BAD CASE OF DRAGON BREATH--

BAD BREATH.

NOW, WHAT DO YOU DO?

NO PROBLEM, FRIEND.

ALL YOU DO IS--YOU TAKE YOUR TOOTHBRUSH OUT,

AND YOU PUSH THIS BUTTON.

THAT'S NO PROBLEM.

THAT'S ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM.

CLEANS UP EASILY.

NOW, WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO, SIR,

I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU MY CARD.

RAND PELTZER--FANTASTIC IDEAS FOR A FANTASTIC WORLD.

I MAKE THE ILLOGICAL LOGICAL.

NOW, SIR, I CAN GET YOU THESE.

I CAN GET 'EM BY THE DOZEN IF YOU LIKE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WHERE'S THAT COMING FROM?

WHAT IS THAT?

A MOGWAI.

♪ eeeeee ooooo ♪

WHAT'S HE DOING?

SINGING.

HE DOES THAT SOMETIMES.

♪ uuuuuu ooooo... ♪

I GOT TO HAVE HIM. HE'S INCREDIBLE.

TELL YOU WHAT I'LL DO.

I'LL GIVE YOU $100 FOR HIM.

NO.

LOOK, I'VE GOT TO HAVE HIM.

IT'S A PRESENT FOR MY SON FOR CHRISTMAS.

IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR,

AND I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE.

I'LL GIVE YOU $200.

THAT'S $200.

I'M SORRY.

MOGWAI NOT FOR SALE.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID EVERYTHING

AT YOUR GRANDFATHER'S STORE WAS FOR SALE.

GRANDFATHER.

WITH MOGWAI COMES MUCH RESPONSIBILITY.

I CANNOT SELL HIM AT ANY PRICE.

WAIT OUTSIDE. I'LL BE RIGHT OUT.

JUST GO.

OK, MISTER. HERE IT IS.

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR GRANDFATHER?

FORGET WHAT HE SAID. HE'S CRAZY.

WE NEED THE MONEY.

NOW, COME ON. DO YOU WANT IT OR NOT?

I WANT IT.

Boy: LOOK, MISTER,

THERE'S THREE RULES YOU'VE GOT TO FOLLOW.

Reed: YEAH? WHAT KIND OF RULES?

KEEP HIM OUT OF THE LIGHT.

HE HATES BRIGHT LIGHT.

ESPECIALLY SUNLIGHT-- IT'LL KILL HIM.

AND KEEP HIM AWAY FROM WATER.

DON'T GET HIM WET.

BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE,

THE RULE YOU CAN NEVER FORGET,

NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE CRIES,

NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE BEGS,

NEVER, NEVER FEED HIM AFTER MIDNIGHT.

YOU GOT IT?

Reed: SURE, KID. WHATEVER YOU SAY.

HEY, LISTEN, THANKS,

AND HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Radio: HEY, GANG,

YOU'RE ROLLING WITH ROCKIN' RICKY RIALTO,

HEY, ALEX.

GETTING KIND OF CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS.

LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GONNA GET STUCK

WITH A LOT OF TREES AGAIN THIS YEAR.

I THOUGHT I'D BE SEEING YOU ABOUT THIS TIME.

HUH?

OW!

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

PETE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE?

DON'T ASK.

ALEX, I CAME TO GET MY TREE.

PETE, TAKE THAT TREE TO MR. ANDERSON'S TRUCK.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU SAY, ALEX?

COME ON. YOU CAN SPARE ONE

FOR THE BOYS DOWN AT SHERIFF'S STATION?

I PAID FOR MINE, FRANK.

HEY, BILLY. WHAT'S THE MATTER? YOU NEED A JUMP?

NO, THANKS, MR. FUTTERMAN.

I'M PRETTY MUCH LATE FOR WORK AS IT IS.

THESE GODDAMN FOREIGN CARS.

THEY ALWAYS FREEZE UP ON YOU.

YOU DON'T FIND AMERICAN MACHINERY DOING THAT.

OUR STUFF CAN TAKE ANYTHING.

SEE THAT PLOW? 15 YEARS OLD.

HASN'T GIVEN ME A DAY'S TROUBLE IN 15 YEARS.

YOU KNOW WHY? KENTUCKY HARVESTER.

IT AIN'T SOME FOREIGN PIECE OF CRAP

YOU PICK UP THESE DAYS.

THAT'S A KENTUCKY HARVESTER.

WELL, IF I WANT TO KEEP MY JOB,

I REALLY THINK I SHOULD BE GOING NOW.

HOW'S THAT COMIC STRIP OF YOURS COMING?

I EXPECT TO SEE IT IN THE FUNNIES ANY DAY NOW

WITH SMILIN' JACK AND LI'L ABNER.

MR. FUTTERMAN, THEY DON'T RUN THOSE COMICS ANYMORE.

THEY DON'T?

COME ON, BARN.

WELL, SAY HELLO TO YOUR WIFE FOR ME, OK?

YEAH, SURE.

SEE YOU LATER.

SO LONG, BILLY.

GODDAMN FOREIGN CARS.

HEY, DR. MOREAU.

GOOD MORNING, BILLY, BARNEY.

MORNING.

HEY, BILLY, BARNEY.

GET IN THERE AND BE QUIET.

YOU JUST MADE IT.

AGAIN.

BILLY, WILL YOU SIGN THIS PETITION?

YEAH, SURE. WHAT'S IT FOR?

WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE DORRY'S PUB

DECLARED A LANDMARK.

MRS. DEAGLE'S TRYING TO TAKE HIS LEASE AWAY.

HIS, TOO, HUH?

SHE SAYS IT'S A DIVE, A PUBLIC NUISANCE.

THAT'S WHERE MY DAD PROPOSED TO MY MOM,

YOU KNOW.

THAT'S WHERE EVERYBODY'S DAD PROPOSED TO THEIR MOM.

CROSS YOUR "T."

THANKS.

GOOD MORNING, MRS. DEAGLE.

WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT IT?

OH.

KLUTZ!

WATCH IT, WATCH IT, WATCH IT!

40, 60, 80.

UH...200.

THANK YOU.

MRS. DEAGLE?

WHAT, WHAT, WHAT?

I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW

THAT JOE GOT HIMSELF ANOTHER JOB--

JOE?

MY HUSBAND, JOE HARRIS.

AND I'VE TAKEN UP SOME SEWING ON THE SIDE.

MRS. HARRIS, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME?

I'M AFRAID THAT NEITHER ONE OF US

WILL BE PAID FOR TWO WEEKS.

COULDN'T YOU GET MR. CORBEN TO...

WELL, TO JUST GIVE US A LITTLE MORE TIME?

MRS. HARRIS.

THE BANK AND I

HAVE THE SAME PURPOSE IN LIFE--

TO MAKE MONEY,

NOT TO SUPPORT A LOT OF...

DEADBEATS.

MRS. DEAGLE, IT'S CHRISTMAS!

WELL, NOW YOU KNOW WHAT TO ASK SANTA FOR,

DON'T YOU?

MOMMY, I'M HUNGRY.

YES, HONEY, SO AM I.

THIS IS WHAT'S LEFT

OF MY IMPORTED BAVARIAN SNOWMAN.

YOUR DOG BROKE IT THIS MORNING!

OH. I'M TERRIBLY SORRY.

JUST TELL ME HOW MUCH I OWE YOU.

I'LL BE MORE THAN--

I DON'T WANT MONEY.

I WANT YOUR DOG.

BARNEY?

GIVE HIM TO ME.

I'LL TAKE HIM TO THE KENNEL.

THEY'LL PUT HIM TO SLEEP.

IT'LL BE QUICK AND PAINLESS

COMPARED TO WHAT I COULD DO TO HIM.

WHAT COULD YOU DO?

I'LL CATCH THE BEAST MYSELF,

THEN HE'LL GET WHAT HE DESERVES--

A SLOW, PAINFUL DEATH.

MAYBE I'LL PUT HIM IN MY SPIN DRYER

ON HIGH HEAT.

THAT WOULD DO IT, ALL RIGHT.

AAH!

BARNEY!

BARNEY!

BARNEY, WILL YOU GET OFF OF HER?

MY DEAR LADY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I HAVE A VERY WEAK HEART.

I CAN'T STAND A SHOCK LIKE THAT.

WHAT IS THAT DOG DOING IN HERE?

THIS IS A BANK, NOT A PET STORE.

VERY GOOD, GERALD.

THANK YOU.

BARNEY WOULDN'T HAVE HURT YOU, HONESTLY.

EXCUSES, EXCUSES.

YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER.

I'VE LISTENED TO HIS MISERABLE EXCUSES

FOR 10 YEARS. THE LOSER.

AS FOR YOU, YOU MANGY CUR,

I'LL GET YOU...

WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT!

OH, MY HEART!

I MUST APOLOGIZE FOR THIS MOST UNUSUAL...

YOU PUTZ.

HMM.

THE OLD BAT NEVER LOOKED BETTER.

IT'S GREAT.

YOU'RE DOING FINE.

THANKS.

HELLO, GERALD.

IF IT ISN'T CAPTAIN CLIP-ON.

HEY, GUESS WHO ALMOST APPLIED

FOR UNEMPLOYMENT TODAY?

I GIVE UP.

YOU.

BUT MR. CORBEN HAD SECOND THOUGHTS.

HE GETS SO SENTIMENTAL ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS.

IMAGINE THAT.

YEAH. I WOULD HAVE FIRED YOU IN A SECOND.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU, TOO.

EXCUSE ME, MR. JONES.

HEY, PELTZER.

LOOK, I'M A JUNIOR VICE-PRESIDENT AT 23.

BY THE TIME I'M 25,

I'M GONNA HAVE MR. CORBEN'S JOB.

BY THE TIME I'M 30, I'LL BE A MILLIONAIRE.

LOOK AT YOU.

YOU'RE PRACTICALLY SUPPORTING

YOUR WHOLE FAMILY.

THE WORLD'S CHANGING, PELTZER.

YOU GOT TO CHANGE WITH IT,

YOU GOTTA BE TOUGH.

TOUGH, HUH?

AND NO ONE'S TOUGHER THAN YOU, EH, GER?

DON'T CALL ME THAT. MY NAME'S GERALD.

CAN I GET YOU A DRINK?

GIVE ME A VODKA MARTINI. SHAKE, DON'T STIR.

YOU'RE WORKING HERE?

WEEKNIGHTS, SO DORRY

DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY AN EXTRA WAITRESS.

WELL, I THINK THAT'S GREAT.

YEAH, THAT'S REAL SWELL...

IF YOU LIKE WORKING FOR NOTHING.

TWO MORE ROUNDS FOR THE POOL TABLE

AND THEY'RE ALL ON THE HOUSE.

OK.

HEY, KATE,

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN MY NEW APARTMENT.

I HAVEN'T SEEN YOUR OLD APARTMENT.

COME ON. WE'RE TALKING CABLE.

CAN'T WE HAVE DINNER TOMORROW NIGHT?

I'M WORKING.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL DORRY YOU'RE SICK?

HE CAN'T DOCK YOUR PAY.

Woman: BILLY, IS THAT YOU?

YEAH, MA, IT'S ME.

I'M IN THE KITCHEN.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, GEORGE!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, GEORGE!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, MOVIE HOUSE!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EMPORIUM!

HI, MA.

HI, SWEETIE.

DO YOU NEED ANY HELP?

UM, YEAH. YOU COULD DO THE EGGS.

OK.

THANKS.

DAD'S MACHINES, THEY WORK SO WELL

THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

USE THE SINK.

MOM, IS SOMETHING WRONG?

NO. NO. IT'S A SAD MOVIE.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

IT WAS FINE.

MOM, COME ON. WHAT IS IT?

WHAT'S WRONG?

MRS. DEAGLE CALLED AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON.

Rand: ♪ FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA... ♪

OH, GREAT.

THANKS, DAD.

YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE THIS.

WHAT IS IT? A BIRD CAGE?

NO, NO, NO. DON'T SHAKE IT.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO OPEN IT NOW.

IT WON'T WAIT TILL CHRISTMAS.

Mogwai: ARF! ARF!

IT'S A PUPPY, ISN'T IT?

YEAH, IT IS. I CAN TELL.

IT'S A NEW CAR.

HONEY, WOULD YOU DIM THE LIGHTS, PLEASE?

SURE.

DIM THE LIGHTS? DAD, WHAT DOES IT DO?

GLOW IN THE DARK?

IT'S IMPORTANT. TRUST ME.

GO AHEAD. OPEN IT.

OH, MY!

WHAT IS IT?

Reed: IT'S YOUR NEW PET.

COME ON, BARNEY, BE A GOOD DOG.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

DAD, IT'S REALLY NEAT.

Mom: WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?

SOME JUNK STORE IN CHINATOWN.

CAN I PICK HIM UP, DAD?

SURE, GO AHEAD. JUST BE CAREFUL.

YOU GOTTA BE GENTLE.

I WILL.

Mom: I HOPE HE'S HOUSEBROKEN.

HEY.

AW, ISN'T HE CUTE?

HAS IT GOT A NAME, DAD?

YEAH. MOGWAI.

WHAT?

MOGWAI.

I DON'T KNOW. SOME CHINESE WORD.

I JUST CALL HIM "GIZMO."

HE SEEMS TO LIKE IT.

OK, GIZMO.

LOOK UP HERE A MINUTE.

HEY, WE'RE GONNA GET OUR PICTURE TAKEN.

SMILE.

READY?

1, 2, 3.

AAH! BRIGHT LIGHT!

NO, NO.

WHAT HAPPENED?

HE HATES BRIGHT LIGHTS.

THERE'S SOME THINGS I FORGOT TO TELL YOU GUYS,

AND THEY'RE REALLY IMPORTANT.

NUMBER ONE, HE HATES BRIGHT LIGHTS. WE KNOW THAT.

BUT YOU GOTTA KEEP HIM OUT OF THE SUNLIGHT.

SUNLIGHT WILL KILL HIM,

AND NUMBER TWO,

KEEP HIM AWAY FROM WATER.

DON'T GIVE HIM ANY WATER TO DRINK,

AND WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T GIVE HIM A BATH.

AND PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING--

DON'T EVER FEED HIM AFTER MIDNIGHT.

Gizmo: ♪ OH... ♪

♪ OOH... ♪

AAH!

GIZMO.

SHH.

UH-OH, LOOKS LIKE YOU HURT YOURSELF.

AAH! BRIGHT LIGHT! BRIGHT LIGHT!

OH.

JUST SIT DOWN THERE AND DON'T FALL OFF, OK?

I'LL HAVE YOU FIXED UP IN NO TIME.

ALL RIGHT.

HOLD STILL.

OW.

SORRY.

OK.

TRY NOT TO MOVE SO MUCH, OK?

GOOD NIGHT, GIZ.

I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.

HELLO.

MRS. PELTZER!

I GOT YOUR TREE.

OH, CHRIST.

BILLY!

HEY, BILLY.

I JUST BROUGHT IN YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

A SLIGHT PROBLEM

WITH THE PELTZER PEELER-JUICER.

I THOUGHT YOUR DAD FIXED IT.

I THOUGHT SO, TOO.

YOU SHOULD JUST BUY ORANGE JUICE IN CARTONS.

IT'S A LOT EASIER.

SEE? IT WORKS.

I HAD TO COME.

SO I SEE.

NOW I SEE.

IT TAKES A CERTAIN KIND OF GUY.

AND THAT GUY NEEDS A CERTAIN KIND OF DAME.

VAROOM!

VAROOM! VAROOM! VAROOM! VAROOM!

Pete: I HATE WEARING THIS STUPID COSTUME,

BUT MY DAD THINKS...

THAT'S NO PROBLEM, PETE.

YOU CAN LEAVE IT UP HERE.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA TELL HIM?

I'LL JUST TELL 'EM A BUNCH OF BIKERS

STOLE IT FROM ME ON THE WAY HOME.

WOW! HOODED MENACE. ISSUE NUMBER ONE.

PRETTY NEAT, HUH?

YEAH. WHERE'D YOU GET IT?

OH. DR. FANTASY'S, I THINK.

WHAT'S THAT?

HERE, I'LL SHOW YOU.

THIS IS MY NEW PET.

MY DAD GAVE IT TO ME.

NEAT! WHAT'S HIS NAME?

HIS NAME'S GIZMO. HE'S A MOGWAI.

HI, GIZMO.

MOGWAI.

CUTE.

BLINK YOUR EYES.

GO LIKE THAT.

CAN YOU DO THAT?

HMM? GO LIKE THAT?

NOW, WATCH, PETE. MAYBE HE'LL SING.

COME ON, GIZ.

LET'S GO OVER TO THE TABLE.

I'LL BE CAREFUL.

THERE WE GO.

GEE, BILLY, WHERE CAN I GET ONE OF THOSE?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S THE ONLY ONE I'VE EVER SEEN.

CAN I HOLD HIM?

SURE. I DON'T SEE WHY NOT.

HE SEEMS TO LIKE YOU.

AAH!

GREAT. THANKS A LOT.

SORRY.

WHAT WAS IN THAT JAR?

NOTHING! JUST WATER!

WHY IS HE MAKING THAT NOISE?

WHAT IS IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

IS IT ALIVE?

I DON'T KNOW.

1-2-3-4-5 NEW ONES.

NOW CAN I HAVE ONE?

I DON'T KNOW, PETE.

LOOK. THAT ONE'S GOT A CUTE LITTLE STRIPE

ON ITS HEAD.

HI, CUTIE.

ISN'T THAT INCREDIBLE, PETE?

YEAH. GREAT.

I MEAN, DON'T YOU THINK THIS--THIS IS INCREDIBLE?

IT REALLY IS NEAT.

I'M SERIOUS. IT'S NEAT.

OH, GIZMO. WHAT'S THE MATTER?

NO, NO, NO!

HEY, DAD, DAD?

LISTEN, I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING--

BILLY, LOOK AT THIS.

NOW, YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE BATHROOM BUDDY, RIGHT?

UH-HUH.

I HAVE MADE AN IMPROVEMENT.

WATCH THIS.

NOW, LET'S SAY...

YOU'RE LATE FOR THE BIG MEETING.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY IN, YOU REACH UP...

OH! YOU FORGOT TO SHAVE.

NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES,

YOU ARE IN TROUBLE.

BUT NOT IF YOU HAVE THE BATHROOM BUDDY,

RIGHT?

WATCH THIS.

VOILà.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THAT'S PRETTY NEAT.

WHAT'S THIS BUTTON?

DON'T PUSH THAT.

SORRY, DAD.

THAT'S OK.

NO, I'M REALLY SORRY.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. I'M WORKING ON THAT.

I HAVEN'T FINISHED THAT.

I'M GONNA GET THAT TOMORROW.

DAD, THE REASON I CAME UP HERE

IS BECAUSE THERE'S A PROBLEM

WITH THE MOGWAI.

YEAH? WHAT'S THAT?

WELL, IT MULTIPLIES WITH WATER.

WHAT?

SO, DAD, SEE WHAT I MEAN?

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

ALL THAT FROM WATER? THEY GOT WET?

YEAH. PLAIN WATER.

YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY.

THE NEW ONES AREN'T LIKE GIZMO.

THE ONE WITH THE STRIPE SEEMS TO BE THE LEADER.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'LL BET EVERY KID IN AMERICA

WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE.

THEY MIGHT EVEN REPLACE THE DOG

AS THE FAMILY PET.

THINK ABOUT IT.

THE PELTZER PET.

THIS COULD REALLY BE THE BIG ONE.

BARN?

BARNEY?

BARNEY?

BARNEY, WHO DID THIS TO YOU?

HOLD ON. I'LL GET YOU DOWN.

STAY STILL.

AW, POOR DOG.

ANOTHER MINUTE

AND HE WOULD'VE BEEN A DOGSICLE.

LOOK, ALL I KNOW IS THAT I'M POSITIVE

THAT I CLOSED AND LOCKED THE DOOR.

WELL, DAD, THEN HOW ELSE DID SHE GET TO HIM?

BILLY, WE CAN'T POINT ANY FINGERS,

NOT EVEN AT MRS. DEAGLE.

MOM, SHE'S BEEN THREATENING HIM FOR WEEKS.

YOU KNOW SHE'D LOVE TO GET HER HANDS ON HIM.

I KNOW, HONEY, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROOF.

WE CAN'T EVEN FIND ANY FOOTPRINTS

LEADING UP TO THE HOUSE.

BILLY, I'M GONNA TAKE BARNEY TO YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S.

I'LL TAKE HIM THERE ON THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION.

CHRISTMAS EVE, I'LL PICK HIM UP ON THE WAY HOME.

HE'LL BE HERE FOR CHRISTMAS.

IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

I DON'T THINK WE CAN DRINK THIS.

WHY NOT?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS?

HEY, BILLY. IS THAT A MOGWAM?

MOGWAI. YEAH.

I'M GONNA HAVE MR. HANSON CHECK IT OUT.

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,

THERE WERE FIVE NEW ONES LIKE THIS ONE.

NOW WATCH THIS.

UH-OH.

AAH!

UM...

CAN I KEEP ONE HERE AND RUN SOME TESTS?

YEAH. I THINK I COULD SPARE ONE.

Mr. Futterman: THIS IS SOME CHRISTMAS,

I'LL TELL YOU.

THE BANK CLOSES THE FACTORY,

THE FOREIGNERS RUIN MY GODDAMN PLOW.

MR. FUTTERMAN, GUESS WHAT? IT'S TIME TO GO HOME NOW.

HEY, HOW ABOUT ONE MORE BEER?

NO. IT'S GETTING LATE.

ONE MORE BEER,

I'LL HELP YOU CLEAN UP THIS MESS.

NO, THANKS. IT'LL BE OK.

IT'LL BE OK.

IT WILL NOT BE OK.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BRING YOUR PLOW

IN FOR A TUNE-UP

AND FIND IT LOADED WITH FOREIGN PARTS?

I MEAN EVERYTHING-- GASKETS, PISTONS,

SPARK PLUGS, ALL OF IT FOREIGN.

HEY, BILLY!

HI.

GOING HOME?

OH, YEAH.

GREMLINS.

YOU GOT TO WATCH OUT FOR THEM FOREIGNERS

BECAUSE THEY PLANT GREMLINS IN THEIR MACHINERY.

SAME GREMLINS BROUGHT DOWN OUR PLANES IN THE BIG ONE.

THAT'S RIGHT. WORLD WAR II.

GOOD OLD W-W-I-I.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE STILL SHIPPING 'EM OVER HERE.

THEY PUT THEM IN CARS, THEY PUT 'EM IN THE TV,

THEY PUT 'EM IN THE STEREOS,

IN THE RADIOS YOU STICK IN YOUR EARS,

THEY PUT THEM IN YOUR WATCHES--

THEY GOT LITTLE TEENY GREMLINS--

I DON'T THINK IT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA

THAT YOU DRIVE HOME.

WHY DON'T YOU WALK HOME?

YOU KNOW, KATIE, I THINK...

MAYBE I'LL WALK HOME.

GOOD.

IT'S A NICE NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, KIDS.

Both: GOOD NIGHT.

GREMLINS.

THAT WAS REALLY GOOD, YOU KNOW,

THE WAY YOU HANDLED MR. FUTTERMAN.

I'M USED TO IT.

HE'S BEEN LIKE THAT EVER SINCE HE LOST HIS JOB.

HE'S LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND HERE.

HE JUST WANTS SOMEBODY TO LISTEN,

ESPECIALLY AROUND THE HOLIDAYS.

WHY IS THAT?

THAT'S WHEN A LOT OF PEOPLE

GET REALLY DEPRESSED.

OH, THAT'S FUNNY, YOU KNOW,

BECAUSE I ALWAYS THOUGHT EVERYONE

WAS HAPPY DURING THE HOLIDAYS...

NO MATTER WHAT.

MOST PEOPLE ARE, BUT SOME AREN'T.

WHILE EVERYBODY ELSE IS OPENING UP THEIR PRESENTS,

THEY'RE OPENING UP THEIR WRISTS.

CHEERY THOUGHT.

IT'S TRUE.

THE SUICIDE RATE'S ALWAYS THE HIGHEST

AROUND THE HOLIDAYS.

NOW I'M DEPRESSED.

DO YOU EVER GET DEPRESSED ON CHRISTMAS?

I DON'T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS.

ARE YOU HINDU OR SOMETHING?

NO. I JUST DON'T LIKE TO.

WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE? IT'S A LOT OF FUN--

GOD! SAY YOU HATE WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY

OR THANKSGIVING, AND NOBODY CARES,

BUT SAY YOU HATE CHRISTMAS

AND EVERYBODY MAKES YOU FEEL

LIKE YOU'RE A LEPER OR SOMETHING.

I'M SORRY.

NO. IT'S OK.

I'M SORRY, I'M--

I'M JUST A LITTLE TIRED AND CRANKY.

YEAH.

WELL...

THANKS FOR WALKING ME HOME, BILLY.

HEY, NO PROBLEM.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

KATE?

UM...I WAS JUST WONDERING.

DO YOU GET ANY FREE NIGHTS OFF FROM DORRY'S?

THURSDAYS.

THURSDAYS, YEAH.

BECAUSE, I MEAN, I WAS JUST WONDERING, UM...

IF YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING THIS THURSDAY NIGHT,

MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO GO OUT ON A DATE...

WITH ME?

I'D LOVE TO.

OH, YEAH?

WELL, THAT'S GREAT. THAT...

YEAH, WELL, WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT ON THE PHONE

AND KIND OF SQUARE EVERYTHING AWAY.

NIGHT, BILLY.

NIGHT.

HEY THERE.

HI.

GIVE ME YOUR ARM, BUDDY.

COME HERE. COME ON.

GIVE ME YOUR ARM.

NO, NO. IT'S NOT GONNA HURT.

THIS ISN'T GOING TO HURT.

NOT A BIG GUY LIKE YOU. COME ON.

THERE YOU GO.

SEE? THAT'S NOT SO BAD.

GOOD. THAT'S GOOD.

JUST A LITTLE BLOOD TEST, PAL.

YOU'LL NEVER MISS IT.

THEY'RE LIKE HUGE SEED PODS.

THIS MUST BE THE WAY

THAT BODY IN MY CLOSET WAS FORMED.

WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?

HAVING FUN?

FUN.

PRETTY NEAT, HUH?

NEAT.

WHAT IS WITH YOU GUYS?

HOW ABOUT SHUTTING UP FOR A CHANGE, OK?

I ALREADY FED YOU.

WELL, IT'S NOT 12:00 YET.

ALL RIGHT.

KEEP AN EYE ON 'EM, GIZ'.

I'LL BE BACK IN A SECOND.

HERE WE GO.

NOW MAYBE YOU GUYS WILL BE QUIET.

YOU GUYS ARE REALLY HUNGRY.

GIZ, YOU WANT SOME?

YOU WANT SOME CHICKEN?

UH-UH.

NO?

ALL RIGHT.

YUM YUM.

YUM YUM.

THAT'S IT, GOOD BUDDY.

I'M CALLING IT A NIGHT.

NIGHT.

UH-OH.

CAN'T YOU SEE?

THEY'RE AFTER YOU.

THEY'RE AFTER ALL OF US--

OUR WIVES, OUR CHILDREN,

EVERYONE!

THEY'RE HERE ALREADY!

YOU'RE NEXT!

YOU'RE NEXT!

YOU'RE NEXT!

YOU'RE NEXT!

YOU'RE NEXT!

UH-OH!

MOM?

YEAH.

MOM, COULD YOU COME UP HERE, PLEASE?

I WANT YOU TO BRING THAT VACUUM CLEANER

UPSTAIRS FOR ME--OH!

WHAT ARE THEY?

THEY'RE THE MOGWAI, I GUESS,

EXCEPT FOR GIZMO.

KA-KA.

DID YOU GET THEM WET OR SOMETHING?

NO.

DID YOU FEED THEM AFTER MIDNIGHT?

WELL, I GAVE THEM SOME CHICKEN,

BUT I MADE SURE THAT IT--

NO, NO, NO. WAIT A MINUTE.

I MADE SURE--

MOM, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

YUK!

WHAT DID YOU SAY THIS WAS CALLED,

A PUTRID STAGE?

PUPAL.

PUPAL STAGE.

LIKE A BUTTERFLY.

YEAH, RIGHT.

THIS IS A COCOON,

AND INSIDE, HE'S GOING THROUGH CHANGES,

LOTS OF CHANGES.

LIKE MY MOTHER.

NO, NO. NO, THAT'S DIFFERENT.

THIS IS CALLED A METAMORPHOSIS.

IT'S A CHANGE IN FORM AND IN APPEARANCE.

HELLO.

HEL--

HELLO. HI, HONEY.

NO, I'M SURE IT WORKS FINE.

I WAS OUT IN THE BACK PORCH FOR A SECOND.

THE CONVENTION'S GREAT.

YEAH, I SAID IT'S GREAT.

ACTUALLY, THE COMPETITION

IS A LITTLE MORE ADVANCED

THAN I EXPECTED.

SOME REALLY NEAT THINGS.

OH, RAND.

Mom: YOU'VE NEVER BEEN SO FAR AWAY

ON CHRISTMAS EVE BEFORE.

I KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE.

I'LL DO THE BEST I CAN.

ALL RIGHT. BYE-BYE.

ALL I COULD GET FOR IT WAS $36.

IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO,

BUT IT IS COMPLETELY OUT OF MY HANDS.

HELLO, MRS. HARRIS.

HELLO, GERALD.

I'M UNDER SUCH TERRIBLE PRESSURES.

WHY DON'T YOU SPEAK TO MRS. DEAGLE ABOUT IT?

SPEAK TO MRS. DEAGLE?

I--I...

MRS. DEAGLE!

DEPOSIT THIS TO MY ACCOUNT.

WHERE'S THAT PSYCHOTIC CANINE OF YOURS?

STILL HIDING UNDER THE COUNTER?

UH, NO. I'M AFRAID HE'S ON VACATION.

YOU BETTER KEEP HIM BEHIND LOCKED DOORS.

BECAUSE IF I CATCH HIM, HE'S IN FOR SLOW DEATH.

HERE'S MR. BIRD'S HEART.

SMALL ANIMALS LOSE HEAT FASTER THAN LARGE ONES,

SO THEIR BLOOD MUST CIRCULATE FASTER

TO KEEP THEIR BODIES WARM.

NOW, SMALL BIRDS--

THEIR HEARTS BEAT ABOUT 600 TIMES PER MINUTE,

CATS, 130,

MAN, ABOUT 75,

AND A BIG OLD ELEPHANT'S HEART,

ONLY 25 A MINUTE.

Second man: HEY, DOC, YOU GOT A HUMAN HEART?

Man: HAS HE GOT A HUMAN HEART?

WAIT TILL YOU SEE THIS.

INTO HUNDREDS OF MILES OF SMALLER ONE-WAY STREETS

UNTIL YOU CAN'T SEE THEM WITH THE NAKED EYE...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

AND IF YOU WANT TO BRING ME A PRESENT,

A CASSETTE DECK WOULDN'T BE BAD.

TICKETS TO THE SUPER BOWL WOULD BE VERY NICE.

UH...HOW ABOUT A ROLLS-ROYCE CORNICHE?

MAKE IT RED.

...WEIGHS ONLY ABOUT 3/4 OF A POUND,

BUT THE WORK IT TURNS OUT

IS ALMOST INCREDIBLE.

HOW LONG WOULD YOU SAY THAT IT TAKES

YOUR HEART TO PUMP A QUART OF BLOOD?

JUST STANDING AROUND LIKE THIS.

A COUPLE MINUTES, I GUESS.

YOU'RE WAY OFF.

NORMALLY, THE HEART WILL PUMP A QUART OF BLOOD

IN JUST ABOUT 10 SECONDS.

IN 10 MINUTES,

IT WOULD FILL THE GAS TANK OF YOUR CAR.

IN 10 HOURS,

IT WOULD FILL A GAS TRUCK.

BILLY...

IT JUST HATCHED.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

WELL...

HEY THERE.

YOU, UH, REMEMBER ME?

ROY.

HMM?

YOU REMEMBER ME, DON'T YOU?

I WENT AND GOT YOU A CANDY BAR.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE HUNGRY.

YOU HUNGRY?

HMM?

YOU SHOULD TRY ONE OF THESE.

THEY, UH--

HEY! HEY!

HEY THERE.

COME HERE. DON'T BE AFRAID.

THERE'S NO REASON TO BE AFRAID.

WHERE DID YOU GO? HUH?

WHERE ARE YOU? I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE.

I KNOW YOU'RE UNDER THERE.

COME ON, NOW.

YOU'RE NOT STILL ANGRY ABOUT THAT BLOOD TEST,

ARE YOU?

COME ON OUT. TAKE A BITE.

LET ME SEE YOU.

I JUST WANT TO SEE YOU.

HERE, YOU TRY SOME OF THIS.

NOW, I KNOW YOU'VE GOT TO BE HUNGRY.

NOW, DON'T YOU FEEL BETTER?

AAH!

MR. HANSON?

OW!

GIZMO, KA-KA!

BILLY, ARE YOU OK? WHERE ARE YOU?

MOM, THEY HATCHED. GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.

PHONE HOME! KA-KA!

YEAH, GO AHEAD AND GET IT, HONEY.

I DIDN'T MEAN THAT.

HELLO, DR. MOLINARO, CAN WE COME IN, PLEASE?

MY MOM'S HAD A BIT OF AN ACCIDENT.

WHAT HAPPENED?

BILLY... OH, BE CAREFUL.

Gizmo: LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT.

GIZ! OH, SORRY.

BRIGHT LIGHT, BRIGHT LIGHT.

THEY ALMOST GOT YOU, HUH?

CLIMB IN THERE.

Robot: THE QUESTION IS TOTALLY WITHOUT MEANING.

PARDON ME, SIR.

STUFF?

THICK AND HEAVY.

WOULD 60 GALLONS BE SUFFICIENT?

I RARELY USE IT MYSELF, SIR.

IT PROMOTES RUST.

DON'T WORRY, GIZ. WE'LL FIND HIM.

UH-OH!

NO!

GREMLINS, HUH?

LITTLE MONSTERS?

HUNDREDS OF THEM?

WELL, I'M NOT SURE, MAYBE THOUSANDS.

THOUSANDS. HA HA!

LOOK, I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY,

I KNOW IT DOES, BUT IN A MATTER OF HOURS

THIS TOWN WILL BE A DISASTER AREA.

YOU HAVE GOT TO WARN PEOPLE!

THINK THIS KID'S DRUNK?

NO, BUT YOU ARE.

I'M NOT DRUNK.

WHERE DO THESE LITTLE GREMLINS COME FROM?

ALL RIGHT.

MY FATHER GAVE ME ONE AS A PRESENT.

A PRESENT.

DOES HE ALWAYS GIVE YOU VICIOUS LITTLE MONSTERS

FOR A PRESENT?

THEY DON'T START OUT VICIOUS AT FIRST.

OF COURSE NOT.

THEY DON'T. THEY LOOK LIKE THIS.

COULD YOU DIM THE LIGHTS IN HERE?

SURE.

GO AHEAD, BRENT. DIM THE LIGHTS.

BILLY, TELL ME SOMETHING, WILL YOU?

HOW COME A CUTE LITTLE GUY LIKE THIS

THIS IS BEFORE IT ENTERS THE PUPAL STAGE.

Radio: YOU'RE ON WITH ROCKIN' RICKY.

Caller: MY NAME'S PETE. THERE'S THESE GREEN GUYS

WITH BIG TEETH RUNNING AROUND TOWN.

THIS IS CHRISTMAS, NOT HALLOWEEN.

LISTEN, GANG.

ROCKIN' RICKY'S GETTING FED UP

WITH ALL THIS ORSON WELLES CRAP,

WHAT'S THAT?

KENNY, WHAT'S THAT BACK THERE?

ANOTHER ROCKIN' RICKY FAN?

HEY, YOU'RE NOT A ROCKIN' RICKY FAN!

OW! HELP! OW!

SIR, I NOTICED THAT YOU'RE A SMOKER.

HMM?

I SAID I NOTICED YOU'RE A SMOKER.

I SEE THE CIGARETTES.

I NOTICED HERE THIS BROKEN ASHTRAY.

OH, YEAH.

IT'S VERY FORTUNATE THAT I HAPPENED TO COME BY.

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF.

MY NAME'S RANDALL PELTZER. I'M AN INVENTOR.

"FANTASTIC IDEAS FOR A FANTASTIC WORLD."

I MAKE THE ILLOGICAL LOGICAL.

AND I HAVE SOMETHING HERE

THAT I THINK YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN.

OH?

YES, SIR, I DO.

THIS IS...

THE PELTZER SMOKELESS ASHTRAY.

I THINK THIS CAN SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.

MM-HMM.

AAH!

AAH!

PLEASE JUST DON'T BITE ME.

WAIT A MINUTE.

AAH!

AH...

AH...

CHOO!

HEY, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

AH, OK.

OK, OK.

AAH!

AAH!

AAH!

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YES.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!

AAH!

WHAT IS THAT? AAH!

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. HE'S WITH ME.

HE'S NOT ONE OF THEM.

WHAT'S WRONG? WHY ISN'T THE CAR STARTING?

ALL RIGHT,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE A RUN FOR IT, OK?

1, 2, 3!

THEY'VE BEEN HERE, TOO.

BILLY, WHAT ARE THESE THINGS?

WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?

THEY'RE GREMLINS, KATE...

JUST LIKE MR. FUTTERMAN SAID.

NOW I HAVE ANOTHER REASON

TO HATE CHRISTMAS.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME

WAS ON CHRISTMAS.

GOD, IT WAS SO HORRIBLE.

IT WAS CHRISTMAS EVE.

I WAS 9 YEARS OLD.

ME AND MOM WERE DECORATING THE TREE,

WAITING FOR DAD TO COME HOME FROM WORK.

A COUPLE HOURS WENT BY.

DAD WASN'T HOME.

MOM CALLED THE OFFICE. NO ANSWER.

CHRISTMAS DAY CAME AND WENT,

AND STILL NOTHING.

SO THE POLICE BEGAN A SEARCH.

4 OR 5 DAYS WENT BY.

NEITHER ONE OF US COULD EAT OR SLEEP.

EVERYTHING WAS FALLING APART.

IT WAS SNOWING OUTSIDE.

THE HOUSE WAS FREEZING,

SO I WENT TO TRY TO LIGHT UP THE FIRE.

AND THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE SMELL.

THE FIREMEN CAME,

BROKE THROUGH THE CHIMNEY TOP.

AND ME AND MOM WERE EXPECTING THEM

TO PULL OUT A DEAD CAT OR BIRD.

AND INSTEAD, THEY PULLED OUT MY FATHER.

HE WAS DRESSED IN A SANTA CLAUS SUIT.

HE'D BEEN CLIMBING DOWN THE CHIMNEY

ON CHRISTMAS EVE,

HIS ARMS LOADED WITH PRESENTS.

HE WAS GOING TO SURPRISE US.

HE SLIPPED AND BROKE HIS NECK.

DIED INSTANTLY.

AND THAT'S HOW I FOUND OUT

THAT THERE WAS NO SANTA CLAUS.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT SMOKE.

IT WILL STOP. IT'S GUARANTEED.

BARNEY, SHUT UP. DON'T START WITH ME.

I'VE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO, I GOT MY--

WHERE DID THEY ALL GO?

IT'LL BE LIGHT SOON.

I BET THEY'RE ALL TOGETHER SOMEPLACE DARK.

Gizmo: MOGWAI.

SHH, GIZMO.

YUM, YUM, YUM.

THEY'RE INSIDE.

ALL OF THEM?

I DIDN'T MEAN IT.

YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

YOU ARE NOT READY.

Gizmo: BA-BA.

YES?

HE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU.

YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT HE SAYS

WHEN HE SPEAKS TO YOU?

TO HEAR, ONE HAS ONLY TO LISTEN.

BYE, BILLY.

PERHAPS SOMEDAY YOU MAY BE READY.

UNTIL THEN, MOGWAI WILL BE WAITING.

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

BEFORE YOU GO, I JUST-- I WANTED TO TELL YOU

THAT I AM TRULY SORRY FOR WHAT'S HAPPENED.

AND, UH, IF YOU WOULD ACCEPT IT,

I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU THIS SMALL TOKEN.

THIS IS THE ONLY ONE. THERE'S ONE OTHER ONE.

BUT THIS IS AN INVENTION OF MINE.
