[birds chirping]

[Mrs. Peenman] 'Ipkiss!'

[snoring]

Huh, uh, what?

Oh, somethin' tells me I didn't get much sleep last night, Milo.

[whining]

[Mrs. Peenman] 'I know you're in there, Ipkiss!'

'I can hear you.'

Uh, and I thought old bats were supposed to be deaf.

[knocking on door]

Why, Mrs. Peenman, hi!

Now, look I know I'm five days late on the rent

but, uh, you know, the bills have been piling up

and I'm a little short on cash...

Never mind the rent, Ipkiss!

I got a proposition for you.

My niece Jennifer is coming to town this afternoon

to visit for a couple of days.

Unfortunately, I gotta prepare for my big paintball tournament

can't spend much time with her

and she don't know a soul in town.

Uh-huh, so-so-so wh-what does that have to do with, uh..

Oh, no, no, hold on.

You take her out, show her around

and you can skip this month's rent

or else consider yourself evicted.

Ipkiss, take your elbows off the table

sit up straight, I don't go out with slackers.

Stop drooling! Ipkiss?

[Mrs. Peenman] 'Ipkiss? I don't have all day.'

'Is it a deal or not?'

'Ipkiss?'

Huh? Oh, uh, yes, yes.

Of course, I'd love to take Jennifer out, Mrs. Peenman.

[chuckles]

Then, be ready at 4 p.m. sharp.

I don't like stragglers!

[Ipkiss groaning]

[Milo panting]

[clock ticking]

[Mrs. Peenman] 'It's 4 o'clock, Ipkiss!'

'Jennifer's here!'

Look out, Milo.

Dead man walkin'.

[instrumental music]

Well, uh..

H-h-hello.

Oh, you must be J-J-J-Jennifer

and, uh, I guess that makes me...

[chuckles] You're Stanley.

Um, Auntie Pee, he is so sweet.

He better be. You ready, Ipkiss?

Yeah, sure, I'm-I'm ready. Ready to go!

And here.. Uh, oh, boy.

You be extra careful crossing streets.

Don't talk to strangers.

And you better have Jennifer back home early. You got me?

A-Auntie Pee, honestly, we'll be fine.

And you keep your creepo hands off my niece, Ipkiss

or else..

[indistinct chatter]

Wow, Jennifer.

You know, I don't think I've ever met

an archaeologist before.

Must be really interesting.

Yeah, well, it definitely has its moments.

I just flew in from a dig at an ancient Mesopotamian tomb.

Oh, you wanna see the pictures?

Yeah, you bet!

See what I've got here. Oh! This is me.

Here I am entering Gorgonzola's tomb.

And this is the hall of a thousand cows.

And this is when I removed Gorgonzola's amulet.

No one had seen it for over 4000 years.

See, it's actually a wedge of cheese encased in amber.

So, who is this Gorgonzola?

Legend has it that she was the evil

half sister of Parmesano

the greatest dairy farmer in Mesopotamia.

After she got caught trying to steal her brother's riches

she became an outcast, shunned by society.

She went mad and vowed that some day

she would get her revenge.

Must've have been lactose intolerant.

Wow!

I haven't quite finished translating the inscription

but there is supposedly a curse

on whoever removes it from the tomb.

Some kind of, transformation that occurs

when the moon is in its third quarter.

But, but, you're the one who removed it.

[chuckles] Oh, come on, Stanley

all that stuff about curses and-and transformations

is just silly superstition.

[grunting]

[chuckles] Yeah, yeah, right, I mean, you know.

What a bunch of hooey.

[instrumental music]

Oh!

My goodness, I-I suddenly feel so..

Lightheaded.

You do? Uh, uh, here, here, you-you sit down.

[sighs] I-I guess it's just been a long day

you know, traveling and all.

Maybe-maybe it's just jetlag.

Yeah, y-you wait here, okay.

I'm going to run to the convenience store

down the street and I'm gonna get you some water.

Oh, so sweet of you, Stanley.

[dramatic music]

[crackling]

[screams]

After 4000 years.

Gorgonzola walks the Earth once more.

And now, I shall take my revenge upon the mortals who treated me

like so much spoiled milk.

Pretzels! Get yourself pretzels!

Oh, I shall have mine with... cheese.

[laughing]

Zap [screaming]

[laughing]

Payback time, mortals!

Vengeance is mine.

Alright, you weirdo, you're comin' Downtown.

Oh, I think not, copper.

Gorgonzola shall never be locked up again.

[laughing]

[Ipkiss] Okay, here you go, Jennifer

just call me Gunga Din.

Nice cold bottle of, uh..

J-Jen-Jennifer?

[instrumental music]

[laughs] Let every mortal shudder at the power of Gorgonzola.

I shall destroy your world.

[zapping]

[crackling]

[tires screeching]

We are live at the Edge City Bridge

which has just been turned to cheese

by the creature who calls herself Gorgonzola.

What we're witnessin' is the most powerful

destructive force that Edge City has ever...

Hey!

I thought I was the big cheese in town.

Now anymore, Gorgonzola is far more powerful than you.

This cheese woman stinks, me thinks.

Now, let me to my task for nobody upstages.

The Mask!

[intense music]

Ohh, careful, oh!

[The Mask] 'Must be a van, ouch!'

thud This mold faced meddler

shall get a taste of my extra sharp cheddar.

Whoosh

[hissing]

Somebody poked me!

[laughs]

Now, that should take care of.. Oh!

No, no, no, no, you have to lie down, please

or else the therapy won't work.

[instrumental music]

So, how long have you had this obsession

with turning stuff into... cheese.

- You dare mock me? - "You dare mock me?"

- Stop it! - "Stop it!"

Annoying, aren't I?

But you know what's really annoying?

[gibberish]

Prrrt prrrt prrrt [flatulating]

But wait, there's more.

Swoosh

[screeching]

[screams]

The noise!

Big smile, now!

Say cheese!

Aaah!

Cheese wedgie!

Ah!

Nobody wedgies Gorgonzola.

[zapping]

[zapping]

[crackling]

[laughing]

Now that's a cheese wedgie.

[cracking]

[zipper opening]

Sorry, that's just not my color.

You got anythin' in a nice blue cheese.

None are impervious to my powers.

It's im-impossible!

[zapping]

Your offendable rays can't harm me.

For I am lactose intolerant man!

[instrumental music]

[zapping]

[crackling]

Crush that green faced fool!

[engine revving]

[horn honking]

[whirring]

The all new Mask saw bearer.

It slices, it dices!

[music continues]

I really cut the cheese that time, huh?

Didn't see that comin', did ya?

I've had enough of you!

Oh, just when we were getting to know each other so well.

Aaah!

[instrumental music]

[upbeat music]

[screams]

Thud Whoa, I thought green hair was cool

but this dude's got it all happenin'.

Yeah.

[Mask gibbering]

He is totally out there.

[upbeat music]

[grunts]

[groans]

Yeah, mosh pit!

Kickin'!

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Now I ask you, could I be anymore hip?

[screams]

These horrible sounds!

What's her problem?

[screams]

Oh, well, you know

she's more of that new-age music scene.

You're gonna miss a great party!

Shake it, sister, shake it!

[snoring]

[alarm buzzing]

[Milo growling]

[yawning]

Wow! What a weird dream.

Well, the whole city was being turned

into cheese by a hideous monster.

[chuckles] Oh, yeah, that's pretty silly, huh?

[screams]

[woman on TV] 'And the city is in chaos'

'after Gorgonzola's all night rampage'

turned half the Downtown area into so much Muenster.

Wait a minute! Gorgonzola and that amulet.

It looks just like the one...

[Mrs. Peenman] 'Ipkiss!'

[knocking on door]

'Ipkiss!'

What have you done to my niece?

- D-d-done? - Hmm!

Well, I don't know why, but Jennifer likes you.

Now, listen up!

I've set up a carriage drive for the two of you

to Landfill Park this afternoon.

And then you're gonna take her to the football game

at Edge Stadium tonight.

This way, I'll know where you are.

Tonight, well, uh, gee, that, that is really g-generous of you

but I-I-I..

I-I-I nothin'!

You don't keep your end of the deal

then you can start packin'.

'Cause you'll be out on the street tonight!

[Ipkiss chuckles]

[sighing] Sounds like fun, Mrs. Peenman.

[crickets chirping]

[horse neighing]

Stanley, hi.

You know, I'm so sorry

for disappearing on you like that last night.

Y-yeah.

Um, where did you go?

Well, to be honest, I-I don't know.

You know, I can hardly remember

getting back to my aunt's apartment.

Uh, Jen-Jennifer

I think there's something you should know about the amulet.

Oh, oh, Stanley, I forgot to tell you

I finished translating the inscription.

[Jennifer] Climb in, I'll tell you all about it.

[horse neighing]

The inscription says that in the light

of the third quarter moon

the bearer of the amulet transforms into...

Some kind of nasty-looking monster

with awesome destructive dairy related powers?

How did you know that?

[chuckles] Just a crazy hunch.

Y-y-you know, Jennifer, you really

ought to return that thing to its tomb.

Oh, Stanley, don't be ridiculous.

[yawning]

Oh, my, the ride is making me so, um, so drowsy.

Hmm.

I need to get that amulet off her before..

[crackling]

What of the amulet?

You wouldn't be thinking of

returning it to my tomb, in order to imprison me again

would you?

N-no, no, no, no, of course not.

I-I mean, the-the-the thought never crossed my...

Liar! Prepare to meet your cheesy doom.

[galloping]

Oh!

[zapping]

[screams]

[panting]

I thought you might come in handy.

[zapping]

Mmm, tickets to a stadium.

[chuckles]

A chance to curdle thousands of mortals in one fell swoop.

[laughs]

Aah! How delightful.

[instrumental music]

[crickets chirping]

Wow, cool-lookin' mask.

Hey, kinda looks like you on a bad night.

Hey! It's mine, give it back!

[laughs]

Oh!

[laughs]

What a dorky-lookin' statue.

Hey, maybe this will improve his looks.

[thunder crashing]

Cheezin'!

Now, alright, you punks

I'm gonna have to blow you away, see.

[fan whirring]

[screaming]

[blows air] And away, we go!

[crowd cheering]

Man, these get-ups get wilder every year.

[man on PA] 'It's third in 15, sports fans.'

'And all teams gonna need a big pass play.'

'Ayer takes the snappin'..'

'My, oh, my, it's the old Statue of Liberty play.'

Wait, just one doggone minute.

Somethin' cheesy is goin' on here.

You bet it is.

Attention, attention, mortals!

The last thing you smell

will be the sweet stench of my revenge.

[zapping]

[crackling]

[zapping]

[laughs]

Alright, Gorgonzola, come out with your hands up!

It's the SWAT team!

[instrumental music]

Whip

thud

[man on PA] 'The Mask snaps the ball back to..'

'...The Mask!'

'He hurls the ball into the end zone to..'

'...The Mask.'

'He's got her, he doesn't'

'he does, he doesn't.'

'My, oh, my, that was unmanly!'

[crowd cheering]

Perhaps, you have an appetite for some of my string cheese.

[screams]

Maybe later, I'm a little uptight right now.

[grunts]

Oh! Ow-ow! Whoa! Whoa!

[whirring]

Round up time.

And I'm a gonna rope me a cheese doggy.

Yee-haw!

Thud Hope you had a pleasant flight.

Bye-bye, bye-bye!

[machine whirring]

[screams]

[birds chirping]

I know I've been a rotten kid, Miss Cheese Lady

but please, please, please don't zap me

'with that cheesy stare of yours again.'

[instrumental music]

On account of, I'm so weak from our battle

it would turn me into cheese this time for sure.

Oh, really.

[slurping]

[zapping]

Back at you..

No!

[instrumental music]

This little piggy needs to go all the way home.

[whirring]

[screams]

[instrumental music]

[buzzing]

Whoa, oh.

Now, I get to play hero with Stanley's girl.

Ipkiss, I told you to get my niece home early.

Wait till I get my hands on you!

On the other hand..

Why not let Stanley get the credit for saving the girl.

[thunder crashing]

Jennifer! It's you!

[chuckles] Well, of course it's me, Stanley.

Who-who were you expecting?

Well, uh, nobody.

How in the world did we get here?

It's a re-e-ally long story.

Well, do you think maybe you could tell me over breakfast?

I suddenly got a craving

for a thick drippy triple cheese omelet.

[gulps]
