1. - Hi there, boys and girls.
Copy !req
2. - Georgie!
- We're so glad you're here.
Copy !req
3. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Copy !req
4. Golly! I wouldn't disappoint
my backdoor pals...
Copy !req
5. - ... or all my pals at home.
Copy !req
6. - Hi, everybody.
- Hi, Georgie!
Copy !req
7. Here's a special
Georgie hug to each and every one of you.
Copy !req
8. Mmm!
Copy !req
9. Hey, kids, you know
what kind of day this is?
Copy !req
10. - A special day!
Copy !req
11. Yep! And I've got
a special song to sing.
Copy !req
12. - Yay!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Copy !req
13. - ♪ Special,
special, special... ♪ -
Copy !req
14. Make it stop.
Make it stop!
Copy !req
15. Aaah!
I can't take it anymore!
Copy !req
16. This nightmare ends now!
Copy !req
17. Hey! That's my tape!
Copy !req
18. I know you're in there,
you big sack of orange stuff!
Copy !req
19. What on earth
are you doing?
Copy !req
20. Morning, noon and night
it's Georgie, Georgie, Georgie!
Copy !req
21. Georgie on the farm,
Georgie at the zoo,
Copy !req
22. - Georgie at the beach!
- That's my favorite!
Copy !req
23. Oh, yeah? Well,
this is my favorite.
Copy !req
24. Georgie in a million pieces!
Copy !req
25. - Oh!
- Die!
Copy !req
26. Die, die, die! -
Copy !req
27. That was horrible!
Look how you've upset him.
Copy !req
28. I miss Georgie!
I want Georgie!
Copy !req
29. You apologize to him
right now.
Copy !req
30. Oh, all right.
Copy !req
31. Look, I'm sorry
about the tape.
Copy !req
32. Here's a couple of bucks.
Copy !req
33. I want a Georgie hug.
Copy !req
34. And there's nothing
I'd like better than to give you one.
Copy !req
35. Yes, if there was some
magical way Daddy could give you a Georgie hug,
Copy !req
36. I'd do it, believe you me.
Copy !req
37. But, unfortunately,
that's not possible.
Copy !req
38. - Actually, it is.
Copy !req
39. It's here
in the newspaper.
Copy !req
40. Georgie's making a personal
appearance at the mall.
Copy !req
41. - What?
- What?
Copy !req
42. Let me see that.
Copy !req
43. Fran, millions
of screaming kids. Don't do this to me.
Copy !req
44. Don't you love me?
Copy !req
45. - You'd better
get going now. - Yeah.
Copy !req
46. Well, what's the rush?
Copy !req
47. The mall's only
10 minutes away.
Copy !req
48. Georgie's very popular.
There could be a long line.
Copy !req
49. You promised him, Earl.
Copy !req
50. Oh, fine! Pack up the kid.
Let's go.
Copy !req
51. Yay!
Copy !req
52. ♪ Special, special... ♪ - What the heck's this?
Copy !req
53. The line to hug Georgie.
No cuts!
Copy !req
54. Hug Georgie... Huh?
Copy !req
55. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
56. Honey, I'm home.
Copy !req
57. Aaah!
Copy !req
58. - Ohh!
- Ow!
Copy !req
59. - Ow!
- Ooh!
Copy !req
60. Aah!
Copy !req
61. I wanna see Georgie!
Copy !req
62. Wanna see Georgie,
wanna see Georgie!
Copy !req
63. It's killing me!
Copy !req
64. That noise! It's like
a big metal spike right between the eyes!
Copy !req
65. - Uh-huh.
Copy !req
66. I'm starting
to feel it too.
Copy !req
67. - I don't get this
whole Georgie thing. - Yeah.
Copy !req
68. What's the kid see
in that big, orange chucklehead?
Copy !req
69. - He's not even
a real hippo. - He's not?
Copy !req
70. No, he's just
a guy in a suit.
Copy !req
71. - Oh.
- Not even a good suit.
Copy !req
72. Looks like it was cut
from that crummy carpeting in your apartment.
Copy !req
73. Hey, I'll have you know
that's a multi-ply velvet, deep plush.
Copy !req
74. It's just that
everything about Georgie makes me nuts.
Copy !req
75. Even the stupid way
he talks.
Copy !req
76. You're so special.
Copy !req
77. Is Georgie out there?
Copy !req
78. - Uh... Um, I don't see him.
- I heard Georgie.
Copy !req
79. - Oh?
- Hey, wait a second.
Copy !req
80. Georgie's in there!
I want a hug!
Copy !req
81. Roy, he thinks I sound
like Georgie. Do you realize what this means?
Copy !req
82. Uh, you can have
a lucrative career as an impressionist.
Copy !req
83. No! It means that
if he wants to meet Georgie in person,
Copy !req
84. I can be Georgie.
Copy !req
85. - Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
86. All we gotta do
is find some material to make a costume.
Copy !req
87. Hey, pretty sneaky.
Copy !req
88. Boy,
if we could only find
Copy !req
89. the exact same carpet
I have in my apartment.
Copy !req
90. What?
Copy !req
91. I wanna see Georgie!
Copy !req
92. Wanna see Georgie,
wanna see Georgie!
Copy !req
93. Hey there, little fella.
Copy !req
94. Maybe if you wish
really, really hard you can see Georgie.
Copy !req
95. Don't toy with me.
Copy !req
96. Oh, no, no.
Give it a try.
Copy !req
97. You may be surprised.
Copy !req
98. I'm wishing for Georgie.
Copy !req
99. Wishing... Wishing...
Copy !req
100. - Wishing...
Copy !req
101. Georgie!
Copy !req
102. Oh!
Piece of junk costume.
Copy !req
103. - It's you!
- Hey, that's right, little guy.
Copy !req
104. I'm Georgie
and these are my backdoor pals.
Copy !req
105. Ta-da!
Copy !req
106. - Hi there, special friend.
- We like you.
Copy !req
107. - Yeah.
- Yay!
Copy !req
108. - Guys.
- You owe us big time, Georgie.
Copy !req
109. Georgie? I love you.
Copy !req
110. I got all your tapes.
And I watch them over, and over,
Copy !req
111. and over, and over,
and over, and over, and over, and over...
Copy !req
112. Good for you,
but Georgie'd really like it if you put on
Copy !req
113. a football game
or a sitcom every once in a while.
Copy !req
114. Yeah.
Copy !req
115. OK, Georgie.
Can I have my hug now?
Copy !req
116. Oh, sure,
special little guy.
Copy !req
117. Assuming my head
doesn't fall off.
Copy !req
118. - Yay.
Copy !req
119. - Aw,
isn't that special? - Yay!
Copy !req
120. Well, I hope this was
a special day for you,
Copy !req
121. because it was so special
for Georgie because...
Copy !req
122. - One, two, three, four.
Copy !req
123. - Ha! You!
Copy !req
124. - You're under arrest!
Copy !req
125. - What for?
- Copyright infringement.
Copy !req
126. You messed with
the wrong hippo, pal.
Copy !req
127. - Wait, wait...
- That's right.
Copy !req
128. Don't make this
any harder on yourself.
Copy !req
129. Hey, don't touch him!
That's Georgie!
Copy !req
130. Ugh, I gotta get out.
The walls are...
Copy !req
131. - Visitor, Sinclair. Here.
- Oh, thank heavens.
Copy !req
132. - Hi, honey.
How you holding up? - Not so good, Fran.
Copy !req
133. You gotta get me
out of here.
Copy !req
134. The days are long
and the nights are longer.
Copy !req
135. The grub's lousy and
the guards look for any excuse to take you down!
Copy !req
136. It's lonely here
in the big house, Fran.
Copy !req
137. You've been here
for 20 minutes.
Copy !req
138. I've seen enough movies
to know what I'm in for!
Copy !req
139. Listen to me.
Everything's gonna be all right.
Copy !req
140. I called the Georgie studio
and spoke to Georgie himself.
Copy !req
141. He was very nice and
he told me he'd come over and straighten things out.
Copy !req
142. Visitor, Sinclair.
A very special visitor.
Copy !req
143. Hello, Fran.
Oh, hi there, Earl.
Copy !req
144. - Hi.
- Thank you so much for coming down.
Copy !req
145. Oh, well I wanted
to clear this up
Copy !req
146. just as soon as
possibly possible.
Copy !req
147. Earl, I'm super sorry
Copy !req
148. if I inconvenienced you
in any way.
Copy !req
149. Honestly,
I'm such a fuddlehead
Copy !req
150. when it comes
to patents, trademarks,
Copy !req
151. and international
copyright law.
Copy !req
152. I never dreamed
I could cause such a hubbub.
Copy !req
153. All I ever want to do
is make children smile.
Copy !req
154. Well... you certainly
do make... children smile.
Copy !req
155. Hmm.
Fran, would you mind
Copy !req
156. if I had a word
with Earl alone?
Copy !req
157. Oh, um...
Well, of course.
Copy !req
158. Earl, I'll see you
at home soon, I hope.
Copy !req
159. - Bye.
- I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
Copy !req
160. - A lifetime!
- Huh? What?
Copy !req
161. Georgie Co.
Industries doesn't take kindly to piracy
Copy !req
162. of our intellectual
properties. I'm gonna make an example of you, Sinclair.
Copy !req
163. Nobody, but nobody,
screws with my empire!
Copy !req
164. I'm sorry
about your empire.
Copy !req
165. I was just putting on
a little show for my kid.
Copy !req
166. I thought you wanted
to make kids smile.
Copy !req
167. Eh, it was about
smiley kids...
Copy !req
168. for
the first ten minutes!
Copy !req
169. Now it's about cash.
Tapes, dolls, T-shirts.
Copy !req
170. Our market saturation
is unrivaled.
Copy !req
171. And that's just phase one!
Copy !req
172. Phase one? How ominous.
Copy !req
173. You've got some
diabolical plot in mind, don't you?
Copy !req
174. Gee, uh...
That's not your normal laugh.
Copy !req
175. Soon we will unveil
phase two.
Copy !req
176. The Georgie cable channel.
Copy !req
177. Twenty-four hours a day
Copy !req
178. of non-stop Georgie
programming and advertising.
Copy !req
179. Plugging every conceivable
Georgie product
Copy !req
180. and selling,
selling, selling!
Copy !req
181. Yeah, well,
I won't let my kids watch your evil channel.
Copy !req
182. I'll exercise
parental discretion.
Copy !req
183. Ah, it won't make
any difference.
Copy !req
184. By the time
phase three kicks in,
Copy !req
185. we won't need
television sets.
Copy !req
186. We'll be beaming
our program directly into children's brains
Copy !req
187. through small receivers
secretly implanted
Copy !req
188. during routine
dental checkups.
Copy !req
189. You know, I'm starting
to think you're not a good role model.
Copy !req
190. It doesn't matter
what you think
Copy !req
191. - because you're never
leaving this cell! - Huh?
Copy !req
192. You're gonna rot here
for the rest of your life!
Copy !req
193. Bye now.
Copy !req
194. And remember,
you're special.
Copy !req
195. - Huh?
Copy !req
196. Guard! Guard,
someone's trying to break into my cell!
Copy !req
197. Jeez, if you're not
safe in a prison...
Copy !req
198. Hey!
Hey, you're making a mess.
Copy !req
199. Oh, hey! Guard! Guard!
Copy !req
200. Quiet, you fool. We have come to rescue you.
Copy !req
201. - Rescue me?
- Oui.
Copy !req
202. How did you get
through that wall?
Copy !req
203. Oh, this baguette.
She is hard like a chisel, no?
Copy !req
204. Quick, Jean-Claude,
we must hurry.
Copy !req
205. - Who are you guys?
- We are the parents resistance.
Copy !req
206. Freedom fighters
waging a guerilla war
Copy !req
207. against an evil
so insipid, so banal,
Copy !req
208. so syrupy sweet that
it threatens the sanity
Copy !req
209. of parents everywhere!
Copy !req
210. You're talking about
Georgie, aren't you?
Copy !req
211. He must be stopped.
Copy !req
212. But he's on TV,
and it's such a powerful medium.
Copy !req
213. True, he is mighty
and we are but simple, common parents.
Copy !req
214. But out cause is just,
and our duty is clear.
Copy !req
215. To rid the world
of the orange scourge, Georgie!
Copy !req
216. And to that end
we have pledged our lives,
Copy !req
217. - our fortunes
and our sacred honor! -
Copy !req
218. Ah, Jean-Claude,
you stir my patriotism.
Copy !req
219. Quick. Make love to me.
Copy !req
220. Alas, there is no time.
Copy !req
221. Such is the urgency
of our cause.
Copy !req
222. - Oh.
Copy !req
223. - We have sacrificed everything.
- Yes. Will you join our noble quest?
Copy !req
224. Uh, I'm not sure.
I don't think I could do the accent.
Copy !req
225. Oh, that is unimportant.
Copy !req
226. All that is necessary
is a passion for justice.
Copy !req
227. Not even a kiss?
Copy !req
228. Chéri, there will be
time for kisses aplenty
Copy !req
229. when the world is,
at last, Georgie free!
Copy !req
230. - Oh, yes.
- Monsieur, we need you!
Copy !req
231. Word of your uncanny
ability to perfectly imitate Georgie
Copy !req
232. has rejuvenated
our hopes for toppling his evil empire.
Copy !req
233. So you want me
to imitate him?
Copy !req
234. We need you to
impersonate Georgie
Copy !req
235. to infiltrate
his organization.
Copy !req
236. That sounds
kind of risky.
Copy !req
237. Monsieur, the hopes and dreams
of a million desperate parents
Copy !req
238. are pressed against
your fearless chest.
Copy !req
239. - Much as I am now.
- Yes, I can feel them...
Copy !req
240. Brigitte, control your
revolutionary ardor.
Copy !req
241. Now, where is your
Georgie costume?
Copy !req
242. - Uh, at home.
- Then you must go there!
Copy !req
243. We will take up
your costume
Copy !req
244. and then go
to the Georgie television studio
Copy !req
245. tomorrow morning
at six.
Copy !req
246. - Six?
- Six.
Copy !req
247. Come, we will explain
the plan on the way.
Copy !req
248. - Go, go.
- Right.
Copy !req
249. - Oh! Oh, your baguette. Coming!
- No, no, no. Hurry.
Copy !req
250. Oh, jeez!
Copy !req
251. Oh, it's only you.
Copy !req
252. Who else would it be
at three in the morning?
Copy !req
253. You called and
told me to come over.
Copy !req
254. I'm sorry to call you
so late.
Copy !req
255. I just wanted to say...
you've been a good friend.
Copy !req
256. Oh. Well, same to you.
Copy !req
257. Up until this three
in the morning nonsense.
Copy !req
258. So, where are you going,
anyway, huh?
Copy !req
259. Roy, if I told you,
I'd have to kill you.
Copy !req
260. Well, then I'm not sure
I wanna know.
Copy !req
261. - Oh...
- Right.
Copy !req
262. Uh, does it have
anything to do with Georgie?
Copy !req
263. Jeez!
How did you guess?
Copy !req
264. - The big note
on the fridge. - Huh?
Copy !req
265. "Don't forget
to take Georgie costume on secret mission."
Copy !req
266. Oh, nuts!
Copy !req
267. Hey, if you're involved
in some covert plan to bring down
Copy !req
268. that big orange ball
of evil, I want in.
Copy !req
269. Sorry, Roy,
it's just too dangerous.
Copy !req
270. Hey, Danger
is my middle name.
Copy !req
271. Uh, originally it was
my mother's maiden name.
Copy !req
272. They gave it to me
to keep it in the family.
Copy !req
273. It never really
came in handy until tonight.
Copy !req
274. I don't want
to argue with you,
Copy !req
275. I just want to bid
a fond farewell
Copy !req
276. to the one person
closest to me.
Copy !req
277. Uh...
wouldn't that be Fran?
Copy !req
278. Oh, darn!
Copy !req
279. I just have to take
a few provisions, and then be on my way.
Copy !req
280. - Oh, Earl, it all
sounds so dangerous. - Yeah.
Copy !req
281. I don't know what I'd do
if something happened to you.
Copy !req
282. Now, buck up, kid.
You know the troubles of two little dinosaurs
Copy !req
283. don't amount
to a hill of beans in this crazy world.
Copy !req
284. Oh! Almost forgot
the beans.
Copy !req
285. Half a dozen cans
should do it.
Copy !req
286. - Maybe six.
Copy !req
287. Well, farewell, Fran.
Copy !req
288. Oh, Earl, don't go!
Copy !req
289. Frannie, I gotta go.
If I don't, I'll regret it.
Copy !req
290. Maybe not today,
maybe not tomorrow,
Copy !req
291. maybe not for
the rest of the week,
Copy !req
292. but probably by
the end of the month.
Copy !req
293. Do you have a calendar?
Copy !req
294. In or out, Earl?
You're letting in the bugs.
Copy !req
295. Oh, that's my brave,
little girl.
Copy !req
296. Listen.
I want Georgie merchandise in the front of your store.
Copy !req
297. In the window.
I don't care if it's a grocery store,
Copy !req
298. get rid of all those
useless fruits and vegetables.
Copy !req
299. Put Georgie video tapes
and dolls up front.
Copy !req
300. 'Cause if you don't,
Georgie will tell all of his little fans
Copy !req
301. not to let
Mommy and Daddy shop at your chain of stores.
Copy !req
302. Yeah, I thought
you'd see it my way.
Copy !req
303. And remember,
you're special.
Copy !req
304. But not so special
I can't crush you like a bug!
Copy !req
305. - Uh...
Excuse me, Mr. Georgie. - Huh? Who are you?
Copy !req
306. - Oh, I'm Roy.
- Huh?
Copy !req
307. I'm just an ordinary fan
looking for an autograph.
Copy !req
308. - Oh, a fan!
- Yeah.
Copy !req
309. Well...
anything for one of Georgie's little fans.
Copy !req
310. - Gee, thanks.
- Who's it to?
Copy !req
311. Oh, um...
Wait, let me think of a name. Um...
Copy !req
312. Uh... Bob Young.
Copy !req
313. - Oh... Hey!
- Good work, Roy.
Copy !req
314. You tie him up and
I'll go out on that stage
Copy !req
315. and tell the whole world
what a crook he is.
Copy !req
316. Thirty seconds to air, Mr. Georgie.
Copy !req
317. Oh...
I'll be right there!
Copy !req
318. Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
319. Now, you're not
going out there alone.
Copy !req
320. No, you're going out there
with the hopes and dreams
Copy !req
321. of millions of
annoyed parents.
Copy !req
322. 'Course, hopes and dreams
being abstract notions, essentially,
Copy !req
323. you are going out there alone,
but, hey, good luck anyway.
Copy !req
324. Is Georgie on?
Is Georgie on?
Copy !req
325. Oh, Mom, do we have
to watch it again?
Copy !req
326. Yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes!
Copy !req
327. I'd say... yes.
Copy !req
328. And, now,
here's everybody's favorite hippo, Georgie!
Copy !req
329. Yay, Georgie!
Copy !req
330. - Hi, boys and girls!
Copy !req
331. Uh, Georgie has
something special to say to all of you.
Copy !req
332. You see, Georgie's
not what you think.
Copy !req
333. - Dad?
- Earl?
Copy !req
334. You see,
you probably think
Copy !req
335. that Georgie's just
a sweet, loveable guy
Copy !req
336. who likes
to give hugs, but...
Copy !req
337. We want a hug!
Copy !req
338. We want a hug!
We want a hug!
Copy !req
339. Georgie will be right back, kids!
Copy !req
340. Talk among yourselves.
Copy !req
341. Oh, jeez.
I can't do it, Roy.
Copy !req
342. Do you see those kids?
They love Georgie.
Copy !req
343. I can't bring myself
to break their little hearts.
Copy !req
344. But think of all those
parents at home
Copy !req
345. suffering through
endless hours of Georgie.
Copy !req
346. They're counting on you
to go out there
Copy !req
347. and tell the kids
who Georgie really is.
Copy !req
348. We want Georgie!
Copy !req
349. We want Georgie!
We want Georgie!
Copy !req
350. We want Georgie!
Copy !req
351. Oh, jeez.
Copy !req
352. Yeah, that's my brave
little hippo.
Copy !req
353. Hiya, kids... again.
Copy !req
354. Listen, I know the show
usually doesn't have any real content,
Copy !req
355. but today
I've got something to tell you.
Copy !req
356. You see, sometimes,
your heroes aren't what they seem to be.
Copy !req
357. There's something
you should know about Georgie.
Copy !req
358. That's an imposter,
boys and girls.
Copy !req
359. He's not Georgie,
I'm Georgie.
Copy !req
360. - No, kids, he's the imposter.
Copy !req
361. I'm the real Georgie,
and I can prove it.
Copy !req
362. - Oh!
- What's going on?
Copy !req
363. There's only room for one Georgie.
Copy !req
364. You wouldn't hurt
your little friends, would you?
Copy !req
365. Just try me.
Take that and that.
Copy !req
366. Help!
Help, kiddies, help me!
Copy !req
367. - I got it now.
- Why, you dirty rat, hippo.
Copy !req
368. Hey, this show
is finally good for a change.
Copy !req
369. - Yeah.
Copy !req
370. - Oh, boy.
Copy !req
371. That's a way to go, Earl.
Yeah! Get him!
Copy !req
372. Yeah...
Copy !req
373. Uh...
Copy !req
374. Hiya, kids.
Copy !req
375. I know
it's pretty upsetting
Copy !req
376. to see Georgie
and his evil twin
Copy !req
377. duking it out like that.
Copy !req
378. So until
there's a winner,
Copy !req
379. how about we make
our own fun.
Copy !req
380. How about we sing
this song with...
Copy !req
381. Uncle Roy! Yeah.
Copy !req
382. Sinclair.
Hey, have a heart.
Copy !req
383. You wouldn't punch out
the most beloved character on children's TV.
Copy !req
384. This is for all you
parents at home.
Copy !req
385. Yuck, yuck.
Copy !req
386. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
387. You're tuned
to DNN's Pre-Prime News.
Copy !req
388. And now, here's senior
correspondent Howard Handupme.
Copy !req
389. And, finally, fallout from
last week's Georgie Show melee,
Copy !req
390. has sparked a justice
department investigation into the Georgie empire,
Copy !req
391. leading to the arrest
of Georgie himself
Copy !req
392. on charges of racketeering
and tax evasion.
Copy !req
393. In a related story,
Earl Sinclair was pardoned of all criminal charges
Copy !req
394. by the Chief Elder,
who was also a parent.
Copy !req
395. He presented Sinclair
a key to the city,
Copy !req
396. and thanked him
for, in his words,
Copy !req
397. "Giving that
chuckling carpetbag
Copy !req
398. a well-deserved
shot in the chops."
Copy !req
399. Yeah, a lot of good
this does me.
Copy !req
400. There's no door to this city!
