Eleanor: Hurry up, L.B.

You're slower than Tweeg's mind.

We've got to get to him before Quellor does.

I might be able to go faster

if I wasn't pulling such a lumpy load.

What was that?

I said, uh, "Watch out for the bumpy road."

Ouch! Ugh. Idiot.

You almost made me drop the Ying Zoo brochure.

Oh, gee.

I wouldn't wanna get the boss' face dirty.

It's such a beautiful picture of him. [laughs]

Seeing as how he finally turned buttermilk into gold,

he does seem, well,

less repulsive than usual.

L.B.: Yeah. Maybe only ugly.

Don't exaggerate.

He'll never be that good-looking.

How about "hideous"?

Mm, still too flattering.

Disgusting?

You're getting warm.

Ouch!

What a pain.

Perfect.

Oh, you sure have a way with words, Eleanor.

[dripping]

[creature crying]

Teddy: Don't be sad.

Everything will turn out all right.

You'll see.

Oh, that's easy for you to say.

You just got here.

Well, how long have you been here?

Uh, so long that I don't even remember

what it's like to be free.

-I don't even know where I am. -You don't?

Well, I know I'm in a cage of some sort.

Well, we're in the Land of Ying in the Sorcerer's zoo.

But don't worry, we'll get out of here.

You really mean it?

You'd help me escape?

You have my word.

But why?

Because, to me, freedom

is the most important thing there is.

♪ I know there is a place out there ♪

♪ Where I can feel the wind ♪

♪ Once you have known freedom ♪

♪ No bars can hold you in ♪

Creature: ♪ Freedom ♪

♪ Freedom ♪

♪ I once tasted freedom ♪

♪ I was free to feel the sun ♪

♪ Freedom's for everyone ♪

Teddy: ♪ Freedom, freedom ♪

♪ I once had my freedom ♪

♪ Nothing can imprison me ♪

♪ For what I know what it is to be free ♪

♪ Freedom doesn't only mean ♪

♪ You can get up and leave ♪

♪ Freedom means you can do and say ♪

♪ The things that you believe ♪

Both: ♪ Freedom, freedom ♪

♪ I once tasted freedom ♪

♪ I was free to feel the sun ♪

Both: ♪ Freedom's for everyone ♪

♪ Freedom, freedom ♪

Teddy: ♪ I once had my freedom ♪

♪ Now nothing can imprison me ♪

♪ I know what it is to be free ♪

Both: ♪ To be free ♪

We'll find a way out of here.

I promise.

Hey, what's this?

Creature: What is it?

It says "Teddy" on the floor of my cell.

Hmm. He must be getting into personalized cells.

Ilana. Why, that's my mother's name.

Now, that's what I call a coincidence.

I wonder if the escaped Illiop is my father.

That's it. More to the left.

Easy, uh, now.

Whoops.

I'm getting tired of this.

Yeah, why should we work so hard?

We're nothing but the Sorcerer's personal slaves.

Uh, yes, uh, I'm not all that happy about that either,

but this wonderful structure we're building,

think of the scientific challenge.

If you ask me, the real challenge is getting out of here!

-[grumbling] -Don't worry, Gimmick.

I've got an idea. Listen up.

[whispering]

[whistling]

Oh, my heavens. Look!

Here's another one of them Octopedes for ya.

You can put 'em to work on that gizmo you're building.

Uh, why, yes, uh, thank you.

Grubby, I'm so very pleased

you're safe and sound.

Tell me everything that's happened.

What's happened isn't too good, Gimmick.

Teddy's in jail.

-In jail? -That's right.

In a cage that's made especially to hold Illiops,

with all kinds of locks and stuff.

They must be real worried about Teddy escaping.

Why, those barnacle-covered bilge rats.

Hmm.

Zelza, tell the others

to get lots of saws and lengths of rope.

Aye-aye, Gimmick.

Now, Grubby,

here's what I want you to, uh, do.

Step aside, Sorcerer. I've come for Tweeg.

What in the name of Grundo is a Tweeg?

That is a Tweeg.

The amazing Troll-Grunge with no brain?

Precisely.

You want me to give you my star attraction?

My greatest weapon against

my brother's ludicrous Wizard World?

In a word, yes.

Well, try this word-- never.

Not at any price.

Listen, you pathetic party trickster.

How would you like to be the next

-mindless attraction in your own zoo? -[gasps]

In that case, you can take Tweeg.

In fact, you can take anything you like.

All I want is Tweeg.

And that.

Sorcerer: There. That should do it.

Ready, Your Foulness?

Of course I'm ready, you fool.

Now get on with it.

[laughs]

Yes, Sorcerer. Yes, indeed.

This will do very nicely

-between my lightning power... -[gasps]

...and Tweeg's buttermilk formula.

I will be the undisputed supreme power

in all of Grundo.

[laughs]

Ah, Tweeg. How lovely to see you.

Hello. Good-bye.

Now then, Tweeg, it's time we gave you back your memory.

Temporarily, of course.

Gee, thanks, Mum.

I'll promise I'll be a good little boy.

You'd better be.

Now stand still and I'll zap you with the reverse memory eraser.

Huh? Oh.

All right, you overstuffed blob,

I'll show you who's Supreme Oppressor.

-Wrong, Tweeg. -Huh?

I'm about to show you something. Come with me.

-Tweeg: What? -Ah!

Tweeg: You mean my gold formula works?

I'm rich! Ya-ha-hooey!

[gulps]

You can't treat me like this.

I'm a full-fledged genius.

My recipe for turning buttermilk into gold works.

Don't you mean my recipe?

Ooh! Oof.

Ha. That's what you think, Mr. Smarty Pants.

Now, now, Tweeg,

don't you remember what happened the last time you challenged me?

"Troll-Grunge with no brain"?

Heh. That's ridiculous.

My brain is as vast as the-- the-- the Great Desert.

And it will be just as empty

if you don't give me that formula.

Now!

Don't keep me waiting, Tweeg.

You wouldn't dare.

If you zap me again, I won't remember anything,

and my buttermilk-to-gold recipe

will be lost for all time.

[grumbles]

Ha, ha, ha-ha, ha.

Foiled by your own device.

You think so, eh?

Yow!

Well, Tweeg,

what have you got to say now?

Do you have a pencil?

♪ A cup or two of buttermilk's the way that we start out ♪

♪ Then add a pinch of pepper ♪

♪ And a jar of sauerkraut ♪

♪ Another cup of buttermilk ♪

♪ Eh, let's make that two ♪

♪ A pair of old pajamas ♪

♪ Some cookies and a shoe ♪

Cookies, shoe. Got it.

♪ Add the wings of an insect and a little bit of hair ♪

-Ow. -♪ Oh, the eye of a potato ♪

♪ And the legs of a chair ♪

♪ A couple of toes of garlic ♪

♪ A finger sandwich ♪

♪ Another bit of buttermilk ♪

♪ And soon you will be rich ♪

I will be rich! I will be rich!

♪ You'll be rich ♪

I'll be rich!

♪ Just a little dash of that, a pinch of this ♪

♪ You'll be rich ♪

I'll be rich!

♪ That's all you'll have to do and you'll be ♪

All I have to do and I'll be rich!

You'll be rich!

[laughs]

Whew. That oughta do the trick.

Creature: What are you doing?

And why is it so hot in here?

[sniffs] And what is that smell?

It's the delicious aroma of root stew.

Well, it smells terrible,

and it looks even worse.

It's an Octopede delicacy. Trust me.

Your customers'll love it.

Well, be careful with that fire.

The heat's already filling the ship's airbag.

Gosh. We wouldn't want that to happen, would we?

It's root stew for the prisoners.

You guys want a taste?

You're missing a real treat.

Grubby: Now, Theeg.

Teddy: Good going, Grubby. You too, Theeg.

Grubby: Yeah, but what a waste of good stew.

Quickly now, run to the rollercoaster.

You'll be safe there.

But what about my friend Teddy?

Don't worry about me. These are my friends, too.

-They'll help me out. -Now run!

Everyone to the rollercoaster!

This'll fix 'em. [laughs]

Grubby: Not bad, huh? A perfect triple-wreath knot.

Sorry we can't let you out, Teddy,

but there's too many locks and stuff.

I know, Grubby.

They really don't want me to escape.

Well, you're gonna. We're all bustin' out of here.

It's too bad, though. Just when the food was getting better.

-What's the rope for? -You'll see.

Quellor: Oh, I'm bored.

Even this lightning business is losing its thrill.

Sorcerer, think of something to entertain me.

Uh, hmm. Uh, hmm.

Uh, I do have a new specimen in my zoo

that might amuse your vastness.

A rare Illiop.

Illiop? Did you say Illiop?

Yes, they're sort of furry, cuddly little creatures.

It's got to be Teddy Ruxpin.

Finally locked up with no escape.

I have him now.

[laughs]

Aah!

I hope Grubby gets here soon.

Don't worry, Gimmick. Grubby's a good Octopede.

Look. Here he comes now.

Hi, everybody. Sorry I'm late.

We were worried, Grubby.

What happened to you?

There was this big pot of root stew,

and I guess I sort of got carried away.

Never you mind, Grubby.

You're still an Octopede hero.

I am? Gosh.

Quickly, Grubby. Into the car.

Whoa!

Whee! [laughs]

Being a hero is kinda fun.

Good luck, young Octopede.

Wh-Whoa!

So the fools think they can escape, eh?

How wrong they are.

Sludge, assemble the henchmonsters.

We're going to attack the rollercoaster.

[Tweeg laughs] They thought they could keep a genius like me prisoner.

When will they learn that the great Tweeg

is not to be trifled with?

Eleanor: Tweeg!

Yoo-hoo!

-Tweegy! -Mummy!

Hey, it's the boss.

Tweeg, you miserable twerp.

You're supposed to be locked up in a zoo.

How dare you disappoint me.

Yeah.

We came to save you, and you're already saved.

Well, er, um...

L.B.: Are you okay, Boss?

You're looking even more repulsive than usual.

Of course he's okay.

He's just happy to see his mother.

Now give me that gold formula before I clobber you!

Gee, I sure hope you got your brain back, Twank.

We finally found a use for it. [laughs]

Uh, what? Oh, where am I?

Oh, who are you?

-Uh-oh. -Huh?

Looks like Tweeg is still the Troll-Grunge with no brain.

But then again, I always thought of him that way.

Eleanor: Oh, poor Tweegy.

I guess we'd better get you back home to Mummy's.

Yeah! Mommy's!

You know, Eleanor, I think I like him better this way.

Shut up, and keep pulling!

And I know I like it better this way.

[laughs]

I do hope Grubby made it to the, uh, sub-water boat.

Zelza: Don't worry, Gimmick.

Us Octopedes are great swimmers.

I hope he's a fast swimmer, too.

Here come the henchmonsters.

[all growling]

Avast, everyone.

Board the cars.

Oh, oh, dear.

We're not going to have enough time.

Give up, you fools.

Don't you know when you're beaten?

[gasps] Wh-What's this?

Gimmick: Thank Grundo for Grubby's root stew.

Grubby: Okay, here goes.

Whoa!

I'll get that Illiop this time.

Ow!

[groans]

Whoa!

Trudge, you fool! Turn it off.

[groaning]

[screams]

Ah.

Well, that's the lot of them.

We should be going ourselves.

Yes. To the airship.

Gimmick: Cast off the lines!

Zelza: Aye-aye, skipper.

Gimmick: Strike the mizzen, uh, mast!
