? Come dream with me tonight ?

[L.B. mumbling]

Up this hill. Down that one.

Hey, Twist, how come I'm always pulling

and you're always sitting?

Tweeg: Quiet, L.B. Can't you see I'm concentrating?

Is your mother as nice as you are, Twink?

-Why, she's just a mean, wicked, -[wagon bangs]

nasty little troll.

-That's why I love her like I do. -[wagon bangs]

? Mommy, Mommy ?

? How can I repay ?

? The awful things you did to me ?

? Each and every day? ?

? The way you would insult me ?

? Yell and make me cry ?

? You made me what I am today ?

? A really rotten guy ?

? I know you can't stand the sight of me ?

? And think that I'm a klutz ?

? Still I studied at your feet for years ?

? Yuck, which took a lot of guts ?

? Mommy, Mommy ?

? I never will forget ?

? How you'd ridicule me and treat me like a pet ?

? The way you would ignore me ?

? Yell and make me fetch ?

? You made me what I am today ?

Whoa!

? A miserable wretch ?

Ah-ha! There's Mommy's house now.

Home, sweet home.

You wait outside.

Why, afraid you'll be embarrassed

when she makes fun of you or something?

Me, embarrassed in front of a lowly Bounder?

Ha!

I just happen to be her favorite son.

Her only son, you mean.

Now, where did you leave those diamonds

we stole from Gimmick's house?

There in the wagon, Twiz.

Oh, Mommy, just wait till you see these little beauties.

Of course, it wouldn't hurt to keep just one for myself

for safekeeping.

Keep a sharp eye on the wagon while I'm gone, L.B.

This neighborhood's full of Villains.

Yeah, too bad you ain't one of them. [laughs]

[humming]

Essence of garlic.

Ahh!

[coughing]

-[doorbell rings] -Visitors?

To my house?!

Sparky!

Tell whoever it is to go away!

[doorbell rings]

-Sparky! -[doorbell rings]

Oh, forget it!

I'll handle this myself.

Just a minute. Just a minute.

Sparky!

It's probably one of those door-to-door salesmen.

Well, I'll fix him.

Now let's see who made the mistake of bothering me.

Egad!

-Ow! -It's worse than I thought.

It's my own son.

[groans]

Oh, well, being his mother's a dirty job,

but somebody's has to do it.

Mommy, it's so good to see you.

Wish I could say the same.

Well, as long as you're here,

come inside and let me have a look at you.

Come on. Come on. My time is valuable.

And you're not.

Yuck! You look terrible.

Still that pale shade of green.

Well, that's what happens

when you mix a troll with a lowly Grunge.

And I'll bet there's not a wicked bone in your body, hmm?

Tell me, Tweeg, you done anything truly rotten lately?

Well, um, as a matter of fact...

Yes? Out with it.

Actually, I brought you these.

Hmm.

Tweeg: They're diamonds from the Hard To Find City.

I stole them, Mommy, just for you.

You stole them?

Oh, be still my beating heart.

-Can it be true? -It is.

-Aren't you proud of me? -Now, let's not get carried away.

I better have a closer look at these hunks of glass.

Do you think they might be of some use?

[squeaks]

I mean, what if we took them to--

Well, what I mean to say is--

I know what's on your mind.

You were wondering if you could pay your way

into the Monsters and Villains Organization with these.

-Right? -Well...

now that you mention it...

Don't press your luck, Tweegy.

But maybe M.A.V.O. would be interested in these

and you won't turn out like your good-for-nothing father.

Tweeg: He was such a nice guy.

Eleanor: Yeah, I couldn't stand him either.

Now, let me see. Hmm.

These aren't diamonds, you bimbo.

They're not?

No, they're much more valuable than that.

Does this mean you'll take me to M.A.V.O.?

Oh, Mommy!

Mommy, say yes!

Stop that at once. Do you hear me?

Now come along, and put that ruby back.

Thought you could fool me, huh?

Hmm. He just might turn out rotten after all.

Teddy: This is terrible. Who could've taken them?

Grubby: I'll bet Gimmick put the crystals somewhere for safekeeping

and forgot where.

But we've looked everywhere already, Grubby.

I wonder if someone stole them.

Hmm. I'll bet Tweeg and his Bounder friend took them.

You're probably right, Grubby.

The question is, what do we do now?

Well, I think we should go to Tweeg's tower and ask him.

[doorbell buzzes]

I don't think anyone's home.

They must've left in a hurry. The door's wide open.

Wow. Would you just look at all this stuff?

What do you suppose Tweeg's up to, Gimmick?

Hmm. Well, it's hard to say.

It looks as though someone has been trying to make

something from...

[smacks lips] buttermilk.

Teddy: Hey, Gimmick, look at this.

"Attention all Monsters and Villains.

Special membership deal.

One week only.

Fairly-nasty deeds accepted.

Contact M.A.V.O.

The Monsters and Villains Organization."

That must be where they've gone.

This advertisement says M.A.V.O.'s north of here.

Past Mizley Meadows and near the Great Wall of Ying.

[gulps] Gee, Teddy, sounds kinda far away.

Maybe we could take the airship. What do you think, Gimmick?

Well, I don't see why not.

-Except that... -You're not frightened

by all that talk of Monsters and Villains, are you?

-Monster and Villains? -Who, me, frightened?

-No, I love Monsters and Villains. -Oh, come on.

I love them.

But we must get the crystals back.

And the airship is the only way.

All things considered, Teddy,

-you may be right. -[mumbles]

-Teddy: It's settled, then. -It is?

Yes. Besides, Tweeg and L.B. must almost be there by now.

We can't afford to waste another minute.

-Come on, Grubby. -Sometimes there's just no arguing with an Illiop.

Monsters and Villains, ooh.

Eleanor: Can't you two go any faster?

That's always been the problem with you, Tweegy.

No get-up-and-go.

No imagination for evil either.

No hot for crime.

Just like your father.

What an idiot he was.

Why I ever married a Grunge is beyond me.

Look what happened as a result-- you.

[laughing]

Now remember, when we get to M.A.V.O.,

be on your worst behavior.

Pretend that you deserve to be in the company

of such notorious Monsters and Villains.

Which I'm sure they won't believe for a moment.

Tweeg: Yes, Mommy, whatever you say.

Eleanor: Oh, M.A.V.O.

Such fond memories it brings me.

And Quellor, ooh.

The Supreme Oppressor.

Now there's a villain for you.

I shiver when I think of how evil he is.

I can't wait to see him again.

And I never will if you two deadbeats don't step on it!

L.B.: Like mother like son.

How touching.

[laughs]

[bird cawing]

-You wait here. -Huh?

It's a good thing I know the keeper of the door personally.

His name is Ickly Bognostroclum.

He and I go back a long, long way.

Now, give me those crystals.

[groans]

[crystals clattering]

Hmm.

No one will know the difference if I hold on to one of these.

Ickly, my darling.

It's been years.

If it isn't Eleanor Tweeg.

Well, well.

Now listen, Mr. Ickly Bognostroclum,

I've come to see Quellor about some very important business.

And I can't stand around here all day with you.

-So let us in! -Sorry, no one sees Quellor.

Paragraph 18, subsection 24.

I have something I know he'll want to see.

And what, pray tell, might that be?

These, Ickly, my sweet.

They're crystals which my wicked little boy has stolen

from the Hard To Find City.

Hmm.

Well, that might be different.

Stay here.

I'll see if the Supreme Oppressor will admit you.

Never pass up an opportunity to steal something.

Paragraph 48, subsection 27.

-[knocks on door] -Man: Enter.

Thank you, Your Nastiness.

Get on with it, Bognostroclum.

-We haven't got all day. -Of course.

Eleanor Tweeg is here to see you.

She brought this crystal with her.

Which she claims her son stole from the Hard To Find City.

Did you say crystal?

Let me see it.

Oof!

Yes. Yes, yes.

At long last.

Call an emergency meeting of the M.A.V.O. Council

to be held in the main war room.

Is Eleanor's son a member of M.A.V.O.?

No, Your Greatness.

Then he shall be.

Bognostroclum, summon the members.

As you command, Sire of Villainy.

Where is the son who stole the crystals from the Hard To Find City?

He's right over there.

Oh, Tweegy.

Well, thanks to me,

Quellor, Supreme Oppressor of M.A.V.O.,

has agreed to see you.

And your son might even be made an apprentice member.

Although, I think that would be going a bit too far.

Quellor has summoned the members of the M.A.V.O. Council

to an emergency meeting in the main war room.

[murmuring]

Monsters and Villains,

we have in our possession

something that will be of great significance

to M.A.V.O.

But first, we seek the wisdom

of our Understander of Legends.

Now, great Understander of Legends,

we request that you interpret for us

the hieroglyphics inscribed in these hallowed halls.

As you command, Quellor.

They're a simple message and a warning.

M.A.V.O. will never be free from the threat of goodness

until the six holes found in the ceiling of this room

are filled with the six ancient crystals.

Fellow members,

we have one of the crystals here!

[all oohing]

[exclaiming]

Quellor: Continue.

Understander: At all costs,

M.A.V.O. must prevent the crystals

from falling into the hands of Illiops.

That's all.

-[murmuring] -Oh!

Twitz, that Teddy Ruxpin guy with Gimmick all the time,

he's an Illiop.

Are you sure, L.B.?

Um, I've just been informed by a reliable source

that the crystal came from Teddy Ruxpin, an Illiop.

Oh!

What is the meaning of these interruptions, Bognostroclum?

Well, uh, actually, Your Rottenness,

I've just been told that the crystal was in fact in the hands of...

Teddy Ruxpin, a lollipop.

Illiop. It's Illiop.

What?!

If more of these crystals are in the hands of an Illiop,

the very existence of M.A.V.O. is threatened.

[murmuring]

I will not rest

until all six of the crystals are brought here!

Anyone who stands in the way of M.A.V.O. having those crystals

shall be made to suffer.

[cheering]

More fuel, Teddy.

Right, Gimmick.

[panting] How are we doing anyway?

Well, according to my calculations,

we should be making visual contact

with the edge of the Mizley Meadows

any time now.

-And then what? -Uh, why I suppose

we start looking for something that resembles

M.A.V.O. Headquarters.

Understander of Legends,

install the one crystal in its rightful place

in the ceiling.

You, son of Eleanor Tweeg,

if you wish to live to become a M.A.V.O. member,

you will bring me the remaining crystals.

Now go!

[clamoring]

Uh, before you go,

here, take this.

I guess I misplaced it earlier.

Now get lost!

And don't come back until you have the crystals,

or you'll be in big trouble.

Paragraph seven, subsection 29.

Eleanor: We have to find the other crystals.

This is your last chance, Tweeg.

Don't spoil it! Now go!

Eh, just a minute.

Here, take this.

It must have got jammed behind the cheap upholstery

in that wagon of yours.

Now you've only three more to find.

And don't come back until you have those crystals!

Better yet, don't come back at all!

Send that overgrown tomato back with them.

[blows raspberry]

So where's the crystal you "misplaced," Twerp?

Why, it's not misplaced, L.B.

It's right here.

[laughing]

Very funny.

Oh, help me, L.B.

Even with your simple mind,

we know that we have three crystals and M.A.V.O. has one.

That leaves two more.

And they must be in the hands of that Illiop-- [grunts]

Teddy what's-his-name.

[laughs]

You never could add right, Tweeze.

We've got four, counting mine.

What? You've got a crystal?

You thief!

[laughs]

I was saving it for a surprise.

[laughs]

Now we just have to find that Illiop and his friends.

That shouldn't be too hard, Twiz.

[airship rumbling]
