Grubby: ? Oh, I'd love going swimmin' ?

[continues humming]

Good morning, Teddy.

[whispers] And happy birthday.

[laughs]

Hmm.

[Grubby humming]

Grubby, are you almost finished bathing?

Remember what we're doing today.

Don't worry, Gimmick. I've got a great memory.

I never forget anything.

Uh-oh.

Except this time.

I forgot to bring a towel with me.

[laughs] Just wait there until I bring you one.

I don't want you to get my floor all wet.

Okay, Gimmick. And thanks.

Here's your towel, Mr. Memory.

My, what an unusual vessel.

Do you like my boat?

I call it the "S.S. Zena."

That's it.

Why didn't I think of it before?

But, Gimmick-

Not now, Grubby. Science calls.

But does it have to take my towel?

-Hey, Teddy. -Yes, Grubby?

Could you please bring me a towel?

I've been in this bath so long I'm turning into a prune.

-Here you are, Grubby. -Thanks.

Gee, Grubby, I thought you told me you didn't like taking baths.

That's right, Teddy, I don't.

Then why are you taking one today?

Oh, come on, Teddy.

Even I have to bathe for a special day like today.

Grubby, you remembered.

Of course I remembered. [laughs]

I'd never forget that today is your...

uh, uh, that is, um, my Aunt Tilly's anniversary.

Yep. That's what today is, all right.

Oh. Yeah.

Well, that is a special occasion.

Is, uh, that the only reason today's special?

Well, as far as I know.

Is it somebody else's anniversary, too?

No, not that I know of.

-I just thought- -That I forgot something?

Not a chance.

My memory is just too good.

I don't ever forget a thing.

Eleanor: Should the oven be smoking like that?

No, it's been trying to quit. [laughs]

It's not going to blow up, is it?

Stop worrying, Mother.

You're about to witness a scientific triumph.

They said it couldn't be done,

but I've proved them wrong.

I, Jack W. Tweeg, have shown the world

that I can turn buttermilk into gold.

[cash register dings]

Uh, Twank, I think your scientific triumph is done.

Ah-ha! The moment of truth!

[coughs]

Ya-ha-hooey!

It looks like... [coughs] gold this... time!

Huh?

It might look like gold, Tweep,

but it still tastes like buttermilk doughnuts.

And overcooked ones at that.

What are you blabbering about?

Eleanor: L.B. is right.

These aren't bullion. They're bagels!

Are you sure one of those bogus buns was really gold?

I'm telling you, Eleanor, I saw it with my own eyes.

It was solid gold, I tell ya,

and it was mixed up with a batch of regular doughnuts.

When Quellor found it, I thought he was gonna bust a gut.

And he's got lots of it to bust. [laughs]

If J.W.T. here did it once, he can do it again.

You just gotta follow the recipe.

Hmm. I suppose you're right.

Tell me, Tweegy,

when Quellor caught you at the Ying Zoo,

you didn't give him the recipe, did you?

You're not that stupid, are you?

Certainly not.

The list of ingredients I gave Quellor

was as good as... Ha.

As your last paycheck, L.B.

[laughs]

You gave Quellor a recipe for rubber?

[howling]

"Six pounds of sauerkraut." Have we got that?

Sauerkraut. Yo!

[groans]

[coughs]

One pair of old pajamas.

Yo!

[clears throat] I donated those.

[groans]

Thank you. 12 quarts of boiled slime.

Slime. You betcha.

The wings of a creepy crawly insect.

Uh, we could only find one wing.

Toss it in.

Are you sure this is formula for making gold, Your No-Goodness?

I think we can safely assume this list is accurate.

That worm Tweeg wouldn't dare give us false information.

I don't know. It sounds pretty weird.

I do not require you to think.

I require you to mix that batch of formula.

Now move it.

Yo, Trudge, into the barrel. Let's go.

[groans]

You should think about going on a diet, fatso.

I'm not fat.

I'm- I'm- I'm husky. [cries]

That's enough.

Sludge, tell him you're sorry.

Oh, all right.

Sorry you're so fat, Trudge.

That's better.

Gimmick: Teddy, Grubby,

come out and see what I've done to the, uh, airship.

It's, uh... [laughs] quite extraordinary.

What did you do, Gimmick?

I invented a land sail.

A land sail?

Yes, it's connected to the yardarm.

But, Gimmick, that's just the airbag

without any air.

Yes, that's the beauty of it.

By lowering the airbag from the Yardarm,

it will act as a sail,

and we can travel on, uh, land.

Well, why don't we give it a try?

Oh, I think there's enough wind.

-All right. -What do we do, Gimmick?

Just untie those ropes on the side

and lower the sail.

I'll handle the, uh, tiller.

Aye-aye, Gimmick.

Grubby: Lower away.

Hey, we're moving.

We are. We're moving.

Uh-oh. Look out for that rock, Gimmick.

Okay.

Whoa! Whew.

Mighty good steering, Gimmick.

Which way should we go?

Let's cut across Mizley Meadows.

Hmm, that's a good idea.

Gimmick, the sail is working perfectly.

? Let's sail away today ?

? Let's sail away today ?

? Let's sail off right now on the breeze ?

? Let's sail off together ?

? Wherever we please ?

? Let's put all our worries away ?

? Let's put on our smiles and let's wear them all day ?

? Let's chase every bird that goes flying on by ?

? Oh, let's go sailing ?

? Yes, let's go sailing ?

? Let's go sailing today ?

Teddy: So, uh, Grubby,

you're sure that you haven't forgotten something today?

Me? Oh, sure.

I remember everything. [laughs]

In fact, my memory is like, um, um...

uh, you know, uh, well, I don't remember what it's like,

but it's real good.

Look. There's the Wooly What's-It.

Ooh, hiya, fellers! How are ya?

Oh, we're fine.

What are you doing here in Mizley Meadows, Wooly?

Well, it was such a nice day, uh,

I decided to bring a blanket and a picnic basket.

A picnic basket, eh?

Oh, uh, yeah.

Well, why don't you just open up that blanket

and we'll help you sit on it?

Sure thing.

You can open that picnic basket, too.

Do you come to the meadows often, Wooly?

No, uh, just once in a while.

-We're going to have lots of fun. -And games.

-All right. -I can hardly wait.

Hey, it's the Fobs.

-Hiya, Fae. -Hi.

-Good afternoon, Frank. -Hi, everybody.

Uncle Grubby!

Where you guys going?

-You know, Grubby. We came here for the- -Shh. Frank.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

-We just came over to, uh... -All: Stand around.

Yeah, that's it. Just to stand around.

And watch.

[all talking at once]

Gee, you Fobs sound kind of confused.

We're not confused, are we?

Who, us? No way.

Confused? Come on.

We're just not too sure where to stand around and watch from.

Watch what from?

[laughter]

Why don't you fellas just sit on the blanket?

Good idea. Come on, everyone.

Let's sit down.

Where's the cake?

-Shh! -Oh, sorry.

What's going on here?

Uh, nothing, Teddy.

Why do you ask?

Golly. Now the Grunges are coming.

-Hi! -Hey!

Boy, this meadow is sure getting crowded all of a sudden.

Well, hi, Grunges. How are you?

Oh, we're managing, Teddy.

Hey, where's the cake?

-Shh. -Hey, quiet.

We came to see if we could get a ballgame goin'.

Grungeball. That sounds like fun.

How about if us Grunges play your team?

What do you say, everybody?

Sure! We can beat 'em.

I do believe we can.

So do I.

Well, what are we waiting for? Let's play ball.

Tweeg: Oh, we're getting lumps in the dough.

The formula says to be careful of lumps.

Maybe we should leave 'em in there, Twicks.

They might turn into nuggets. [laughs]

Hmm, you have a point there, L.B.

Unfortunately, it's on the top of your head.

It definitely says no lumps.

Oh, this eggbeater isn't good enough.

Can I stop cranking, then?

Yes, stop, stop, stop.

Oh, good, my tootsies were getting tired.

L.B., go out and steal something better

to mix the dough with.

Doesn't anyone use the word "please" anymore?

Oh, well, at the walk'll give me a chance to rest my feet.

What am I saying?

-Fob children: Go, Grubby, go! -Teddy: Come on, Grubby. Hit it!

Yes!

A hit will tie it up, Grubby.

Sure is a lot of pressure on me.

Strike two.

[crowd cheering]

-Shucks. -One more time, Trina.

Hit it, Grubby. Hit it!

[grunting]

All right, Grubby!

Run, Teddy!

-Hooray! -Hooray!

[laughs]

The score is now tied.

Okay, Wooly. It's your turn at bat.

Sock it good, Wooly.

Don't worry, fellas.

I'll hit it out of the meadow.

Strike one.

Come on. Throw it up here where I can hit it.

All right, you asked for it.

Do your worst.

-Fob: Yahoo! -It's a hit, Wooly!

[cheering]

-Fob children: Go, Grubby, go! -Run, Wooly. Run to first!

[jabbers] But, Teddy, I broke the bat.

Don't worry about it, Wooly. Just run.

Gee, I'm sorry about breaking the bat.

-Gimmick: All right, Grubby! -You did it, Grubby!

We're one run ahead.

Fob children: Go, Wooly, go!

Go, Wooly, go! Go, Wooly, go!

Uh, listen, Trina,

I really didn't mean to break this bat.

That's okay, man.

By the way, you're out.

Mmm.

Perfect.

Nobody's home.

Maybe Gimmick'll have some gimmick I can steal.

Ah-ha.

Now, that looks like some labor-saving device.

[grunts]

Well, did you do it?

Well, it sure don't look like gold.

Maybe if we look at it from a distance.

You know, like modern art.

Hmm.

Just like mom used to make.

Blech!

Stand aside, you vermin.

Uh, right, Your Vileness.

Ooh! [groans]

Hey, let's not just stand there, guys.

Help him out.

Right.

[Quellor grunts]

Sludge: Look. What's that shiny thing?

It's gold!

The formula works!

Of course it's gold, you fool.

That happens to be my tooth.

-Sorry. -Didn't mean to.

Yeah, we were trying to help.

Silence!

This is all Tweeg's fault,

and Tweeg shall pay.

-Ooh! How he'll pay. -[howling]

Okay, Grubby, the bases are loaded,

and they've got two outs.

-One more out and we'll win. -Okay, Teddy.

Teddy: Strike one. Good work, Grubby.

Yes, splendid spheroid projecting.

-[laughs] -Look out. Here she comes.

Strike two. Okay, Grubby.

Just one more strike.

Oh, no. It's gonna be a homerun.

Don't worry, Teddy. I'll catch it.

Leota?

-[grunts] -What a catch.

Why, thank you.

Hey, is she on your team?

She sure is. She's our tall-stop.

[laughs]

Well, okay. You guys win.

Yeah, Leota should get the game ball for that catch.

Well, I think Teddy should get a game ball.

To help him remember his birthday party!

My birthday party?

All: Happy birthday, Teddy!

[laughs] Oh, boy.

Thank you. Thank you all.

But how did you know it was my birthday?

[jabbers] Grubby told us.

Yes, he arranged all this.

Gimmick helped, too.

But I thought you forgot it was my birthday.

Teddy, I keep telling ya,

I don't forget anything.

[laughter]

L.B.: Here's what I swiped, Boss.

Oh, good, L.B.

Now, that thing should blend the dough perfectly.

I wonder how you work it.

Oh, I see.

You just pull this cord.

Uh, yep. Yep.

That's the way it works, Twitch.

Oh, Tweeg! It's Tweeg.

Now, put it in the dough

and I'll give the cord a good, hard jerk.

If there's anybody knows about jerks, it's you, Boss.

Thank you.

Ready? Here goes.

Yow!

[groans]

-Where's the cake? -And the ice cream?

Where's the food and the presents?

In this basket!

Gimmick: The perfect hiding place.

[Gimmick laughs]

? It's your birthday, it's your birthday ?

? Yes, your birthday day has rolled around again ?

? It's your birthday ?

? It's your birthday ?

? Yes, your birthday day has rolled around again ?

Leota: ? We like to watch you growing old ?

? Before our very eyes ?

? And see that really silly smile ?

-? When we all yell ? -All: Surprise!

Leota and Grubby: ? Now think real hard about a special wish ?

? You'd like to make ?

? It might come true if you blow out ?

? The candles on your cake ?

All: ? 'Cause it's your birthday ?

-? It's your birthday ? -Yay!

? Yes, your birthday day has rolled around again ?

-? It's your birthday ? -Hooray!

-? It's your birthday ? -Yay!

? You had one just a year ago and now it's here again ?

? If you should have another birthday in a year or two ?

? We want to come around this way ?

? And celebrate with you ?

? So stuff yourself with birthday cake ?

? And gobble up ice cream ?

? 'Cause we want this to be one of ?

? The greatest days you've ever seen ?

-? 'Cause it's your birthday ? -Hooray!

-? It's your birthday ? -Okay!

? Yes, your birthday day has rolled around again ?

-? It's your birthday ? -Today!

? And we all would like to say ?

? We love you and we hope you have ?

? A very happy, very happy ?

? Really, really very happy ?

? Really, very, very happy birthday ?
