1. Hey! Psst!Copy !req
2. Wake up!Copy !req
3. - Ah!Copy !req
4. Hello. I don't believe
we've officially met.Copy !req
5. No time for introductions!Copy !req
6. Huh?Copy !req
7. Um…Copy !req
8. I like what you've done with the place.Copy !req
9. With my things.Copy !req
10. You're not getting it, are you?
I've been robbed.Copy !req
11. Really?Copy !req
12. It doesn't look like it.Copy !req
13. My timer. I was asleep in bed,
timing my slumber as I always do.Copy !req
14. When I woke up this morning, it was gone!Copy !req
15. Haven't been able to time anything since.Copy !req
16. Breakfast, crossword puzzles,
trips to the toilet, this conversation.Copy !req
17. I guess now you know how it feels
to have something stolen from you.Copy !req
18. Yeah, because somebody's stolen
something from me.Copy !req
19. No! I mean
because you're always stealing from me.Copy !req
20. I don't steal your things, Frida.
I borrow them. It's different.Copy !req
21. You sure you didn't misplace it?Copy !req
22. I'm sure.
Honestly, this doesn't surprise me.Copy !req
23. Nisse-on-nisse robbery
has become more and more commonplace.Copy !req
24. We never used to like each other,Copy !req
25. but at least
we didn't steal each other's things.Copy !req
26. Mm. I'm sorry. That's horrible.Copy !req
27. But who do you think
could have taken your timer?Copy !req
28. - Hey, my timer! Stop, thief!Copy !req
29. Hm.Copy !req
30. It's one thing that nisse take our stuff,Copy !req
31. but have you ever heard of
a nisse stealing from another nisse?Copy !req
32. Uh, no.Copy !req
33. They're all so stubborn
and bad at communicating.Copy !req
34. If only we could get them
all in one place,Copy !req
35. have them really listen to each other.Copy !req
36. I suppose we could trap them
in a big net or a cage.Copy !req
37. We'll hold a town hall meeting.Copy !req
38. Or that.Copy !req
39. I can be their moderator.Copy !req
40. Oh! I've always wanted
to moderate a town hall meeting.Copy !req
41. You have?Copy !req
42. Yes. The closest I ever got to it
was the time I moderated that meetingCopy !req
43. between you and your stuffed animals.Copy !req
44. I still can't believe
how many concessions I had to make.Copy !req
45. Oh, come in. Come in.
I'm so happy to see you both.Copy !req
46. Hilda hasn't been outside in days.Copy !req
47. Please take her out somewhere, anywhere.Copy !req
48. Is something wrong?Copy !req
49. Have a look yourselves.Copy !req
50. Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm.Copy !req
51. Hm. Yes.Copy !req
52. Um, Hilda?Copy !req
53. Is everything all right?Copy !req
54. Hilda?Copy !req
55. Oh. Hey, guys.Copy !req
56. Have you heard? The nisse
have been stealing from each other.Copy !req
57. Nisse don't steal. They borrow.Copy !req
58. Trust me. This is different.Copy !req
59. Frida came up with a geniusCopy !req
60. and wee bit overambitious idea
to hold a town hall meeting for them.Copy !req
61. We were hoping you would come?Copy !req
62. Hilda?Copy !req
63. Uh, sorry, guys, but I'm a little busy
with what I have going on.Copy !req
64. And that is?Copy !req
65. Look. I know
how all this may seem,Copy !req
66. but I haven't gone crazy.Copy !req
67. Whew! That's a relief,
because you look like you've gone crazy.Copy !req
68. Ow!Copy !req
69. The past few days, strange frequencies
have been coming in through my radio.Copy !req
70. Alfur and I have been working
to decode them.Copy !req
71. At first, I was skeptical too,
until I started looking into it.Copy !req
72. I thought maybe it was a variation
of the Knudson Lagerkvist cypher,Copy !req
73. but as I began trying to decode it,Copy !req
74. it proved to be something
much more complex.Copy !req
75. - "Such is the life of an adventurer."
- What's that supposed to mean?Copy !req
76. It's something I say.
I said it to my dad before he—Copy !req
77. I thought something weird
happened to him. This confirms it.Copy !req
78. He must be trying to reach me.
He must be in trouble.Copy !req
79. How do you know he's in trouble?Copy !req
80. Why else would he be communicating
with me in code?Copy !req
81. - Uh…
- Um…Copy !req
82. Ah! My radio. There you are.Copy !req
83. - Tontu, it's my radio.
- Hey!Copy !req
84. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize.
Oh wow. Look. A white woff!Copy !req
85. Hey!Copy !req
86. It's mine!Copy !req
87. Listen.Copy !req
88. That's much better.Copy !req
89. You know, it's actually kind of beautiful.Copy !req
90. Ah! This could mean—Copy !req
91. You're all going to leave immediately,
so I can listen to my radio in peace?Copy !req
92. No. This could mean
if the signal is stronger here,Copy !req
93. my dad is somewhere in Nowhere Space.Copy !req
94. Huh?Copy !req
95. - Hey!
- Huh?Copy !req
96. - My radio!
- My radio!Copy !req
97. Ah!Copy !req
98. - Hm.Copy !req
99. - Oh, uh, uh.Copy !req
100. - Ah!Copy !req
101. You know, on second thought,Copy !req
102. maybe I will attend
that town hall meeting.Copy !req
103. That's the spirit.Copy !req
104. And how, may I ask,Copy !req
105. do you plan on getting the nisse
to come to your little meetup? Huh?Copy !req
106. I know the one thing that always gets me
to come to Frida's parties.Copy !req
107. Free food!Copy !req
108. That's right!Copy !req
109. Wait. It also says
something about a town hall meeting.Copy !req
110. "A chance to talk out your problems and…"Copy !req
111. I can't read the rest.Copy !req
112. Uh-uh. All that's important
is that you'll come.Copy !req
113. That depends. Will there be Bloops
at this town hall meeting?Copy !req
114. Yes. Of course there'll be Bloops.Copy !req
115. Then I'll be there.Copy !req
116. You haven't seen this man, have you?Copy !req
117. No. I have seen this cat though.Copy !req
118. He owes me money.Copy !req
119. Will there be train food?Copy !req
120. What's train food?Copy !req
121. Yep. Lots of train food.Copy !req
122. Good. I love trains.Copy !req
123. Excuse me. Have you seen this man?Copy !req
124. Is he very into trains?Copy !req
125. Not especially.Copy !req
126. Then I don't know him,
and I don't want to know him.Copy !req
127. Looks like we're all set.Copy !req
128. Don't worry. They'll come.Copy !req
129. Will they though?Copy !req
130. What was I thinking?Copy !req
131. You can't make a nisse do anything.
Oh, sorry, Tontu.Copy !req
132. That's all right.Copy !req
133. - Ah!
- Uh, excuse me.Copy !req
134. Thank you.Copy !req
135. - Ha-ha!Copy !req
136. - Move down a bit.
- I'll sit here.Copy !req
137. - Move over.
- You're in my seat.Copy !req
138. Excuse me.Copy !req
139. Please, everyone, take a seat.Copy !req
140. - Get off my chair.
- I was here first.Copy !req
141. Now, let's all settle down.Copy !req
142. If I can just have everyone's attention.Copy !req
143. Hm.Copy !req
144. Thank you all for coming.
It's recently come to my attentionCopy !req
145. that nisse have been stealing
from other nisse.Copy !req
146. Now, I know you guys
don't enjoy each other's company.Copy !req
147. - That's an understatement!
- True.Copy !req
148. Absolutely.Copy !req
149. Still, that doesn't mean
you can't be civil to one another.Copy !req
150. Communication is key.Copy !req
151. How many of you, for instance,Copy !req
152. have held a simple conversation
with another nisse?Copy !req
153. What is she talking about?Copy !req
154. That's what I thought.Copy !req
155. Now I have you all in one place,
why don't we start talking?Copy !req
156. Someone stole my eggbeater.Copy !req
157. - I was promised train food.
- My yellow duck's been missing for months.Copy !req
158. Sorry. Not all at once!Copy !req
159. Please, raise your hand
if you wish to speak.Copy !req
160. - My cheese ball!
- My sticks!Copy !req
161. Sh! I need to call on you first.Copy !req
162. Yes. You, go ahead.Copy !req
163. That nisse over there stole my timer!Copy !req
164. Huh?Copy !req
165. Well, do you have anything
to say for yourself?Copy !req
166. Yes, that I resent this outrageous slander
upon my reputation.Copy !req
167. I wasn't stealing it.
I was only borrowing itCopy !req
168. with the intention of keeping it
on my person for all eternity.Copy !req
169. This was a bad idea.Copy !req
170. What do you mean?
I think it's going splendidly.Copy !req
171. My timer!Copy !req
172. - No! Get off!
- Oh! Hey! Hey!Copy !req
173. Stop it!Copy !req
174. This is no way to settle your problems.Copy !req
175. You nisse have to learn
to listen to each other.Copy !req
176. - I'm good at it.
- Listening.Copy !req
177. Now, why don't we try
a role-playing exercise?Copy !req
178. Tontu, I want you to imagine
you are not yourself, but instead, Tontu.Copy !req
179. Me?Copy !req
180. - No, not you. Tontu.Copy !req
181. I'm Tontu.Copy !req
182. Yes, I know,
but I was talking about—Copy !req
183. Never mind.
We'll try a different approach.Copy !req
184. Hey!Copy !req
185. This is the Talking Stick.Copy !req
186. That stick can talk?Copy !req
187. My stick can talk?Copy !req
188. No. Only the person
holding the stick can talk.Copy !req
189. - Okay, then.Copy !req
190. Hey, my radio!Copy !req
191. - She talked without holding the stick!Copy !req
192. Oh! I talked without holding the stick.Copy !req
193. That's mine!Copy !req
194. Hilda, no!Copy !req
195. - That's mine!Copy !req
196. And mine!Copy !req
197. Give me that!Copy !req
198. I haven't got time for this.Copy !req
199. Let go of my tennis racket!Copy !req
200. - Stop it!
- Mine!Copy !req
201. - Give it back to me.
- My meeting!Copy !req
202. That's mine!Copy !req
203. My snacks!Copy !req
204. My stick!Copy !req
205. - My yellow duck!Copy !req
206. - Aha!Copy !req
207. Give it back.Copy !req
208. Mine!Copy !req
209. Yes, Twig!Copy !req
210. - Hey, that's mine.Copy !req
211. What do we do?Copy !req
212. - We leave. Here, take my hand.
- Wait for me!Copy !req
213. Whoa!Copy !req
214. You'll have to kill me first!Copy !req
215. Hey, now!Copy !req
216. What's all this?Copy !req
217. Oh! My sash!Copy !req
218. Oh dear.Copy !req
219. Well, that was a total disaster.Copy !req
220. No thanks to you.Copy !req
221. At least I got my radio back.Copy !req
222. My radio.Copy !req
223. …and I, Victoria Van Gale, am back.Copy !req
224. Van Gale?Copy !req
225. Sorry again
for the last couple of cryptic days,Copy !req
226. but it looks like I finally got
our microphone situation fixed.Copy !req
227. Oh well. As a friend of mine
is fond of saying,Copy !req
228. such is the life of an adventurer.Copy !req
229. I thought she fell into an endless void,
never to return.Copy !req
230. At least that's what I hoped.Copy !req
231. I don't understand.Copy !req
232. It's getting late.Copy !req
233. I better get going,
or I'll be late for supper.Copy !req
234. Me too.Copy !req
235. Sure you don't want to call
and say you're eating here?Copy !req
236. David?Copy !req
237. It's pizza night.Copy !req
238. Well, that solves the mystery of the who.Copy !req
239. We still don't know the where.Copy !req
240. I don't care anymore.Copy !req
241. Don't care?Copy !req
242. All this time, I thought
Dad was really in trouble, but he's just—Copy !req
243. Mum was right.Copy !req
244. Stop! I'd still like to hold on to that,
if you don't mind.Copy !req
245. From up here in my tower,Copy !req
246. here's a special song
for all you wayward souls out there.Copy !req
247. Oh!Copy !req
248. Tontu, have you seen Alfur?Copy !req
249. Nope.Copy !req
250. Then again, I never signed the paperwork.Copy !req
251. Morning.Copy !req
252. Morning.Copy !req
253. Here. You can have our radio back.Copy !req
254. Hm?Copy !req
255. I don't understand.
Is there something wrong with it?Copy !req
256. - No.
- Well, then, what's the catch?Copy !req
257. There's no catch.
I thought you might like to borrow it.Copy !req
258. It's called sharing, Tontu.Copy !req
259. I know,
but I haven't seen it in action before.Copy !req
260. Nisses don't share.Copy !req
261. Hm. They don't, do they?Copy !req
262. What?Copy !req
263. Was it something I said?Copy !req
264. Hi.Copy !req
265. Oh. Hi.Copy !req
266. Okay. Nisse don't share.Copy !req
267. Did you come all this way
just to tell me that?Copy !req
268. Hilda, I know the nisse don't share.Copy !req
269. That's what got me
into this mess to begin with.Copy !req
270. I've an idea.
But I need your and David's help.Copy !req
271. Trust me?Copy !req
272. Oh! Oh.Copy !req
273. Doesn't this look nice?Copy !req
274. "Lending library."Copy !req
275. So, I can take anything I want?Copy !req
276. Yep. But you have to put it back
when you're done.Copy !req
277. Um, do you know where I can find
an embroidery hoop?Copy !req
278. Oh, I…Copy !req
279. It should be under "sewing."Copy !req
280. Uh…Copy !req
281. I can't believe this nisse
lending library idea actually worked.Copy !req
282. It really is remarkable.Copy !req
283. No one's fighting.
This could change everything.Copy !req
284. And to think it was all my idea.Copy !req
285. Ah, really?Copy !req
286. But I shared it with you.Copy !req
287. - Huh?Copy !req
288. Think we can leave?
The nisse seem to have a handle on things.Copy !req
289. Here. Why not unwind
with a game of Dirigible Fleet?Copy !req
290. Hey, I think that's mine.Copy !req
291. Your turn.Copy !req
292. - Oh! You punctured my dirigible.Copy !req
293. Hm. Hm. Nice one.Copy !req
294. Hilda, I'm sorry you didn't find
what you were looking for.Copy !req
295. I'm sorry too.
I got so caught up in it allCopy !req
296. that I nearly messed everything up
for you guys.Copy !req
297. Besides, it's better to know the truth,
even if it's not what you want to hear.Copy !req
298. Ah, can you keep it down?Copy !req
299. My new favorite radio show
is about to begin.Copy !req
300. And what's that?Copy !req
301. It's about a dad looking for his daughter,Copy !req
302. but I'll never know if he finds her
if you keep talking so loud.Copy !req
303. - What?
- What?Copy !req
304. Huh? Oh, no. It's not you.
No, this daughter's name is Hilda.Copy !req
305. - Wait.Copy !req
306. …this is Victoria Van Gale signing off
until we meet again.Copy !req
307. But remember,
beware of the hooded figures.Copy !req
308. They're always watching,
always closer than you think.Copy !req
309. And now, since I promised
my fellow castaway a regular segmentCopy !req
310. in exchange for coconuts, here he is.Copy !req
311. - Hilda, if you're out there…Copy !req
312. If anyone's out there, I need—Copy !req
313. - Wait, what's that?Copy !req
314. Oh no. One of them's got in.
It's spotted us. Hide!Copy !req
315. That was not our best landing, Cedric.Copy !req
316. Alfur!Copy !req
317. I've got good news.Copy !req
318. We've just returned
from triangulatingCopy !req
319. an extensive network of elf radios.Copy !req
320. Were they adorably tiny?Copy !req
321. I suppose to you, yes.Copy !req
322. Now we should be able to narrow down
the location of Victoria Van Gale.Copy !req
323. And my dad.Copy !req
324. Huh?Copy !req
325. We heard him on the radio.
He's with Van Gale.Copy !req
326. Wherever they are,
they're both in great danger.Copy !req
327. Then this isn't just a curiosity.Copy !req
328. It's an emergency!
I'll need one of those maps.Copy !req
329. Hm. Fifteen elf degrees north.Copy !req
330. Forty-three elf degrees west.Copy !req
331. There.Copy !req
332. There.Copy !req
333. Mm. Ah!Copy !req
334. Tofoten.Copy !req
335. Van Gale said something
about hooded figures.Copy !req
336. - He's in the fairy mound.
- What?Copy !req
337. - You sure? How'd that happen?
- I don't know, but he's in trouble.Copy !req
338. You're not planning
on going back in that thing, are you?Copy !req
339. I think I have to.Copy !req
340. I was afraid you'd say that.Copy !req
341. If you're going back in,
someone's gonna have to pull you out.Copy !req
342. - I'm in.
- Me too.Copy !req
343. - Hm. Tontu?
- Huh?Copy !req
344. How quickly can you get us to the station?Copy !req
345. - Wait. I didn't mean—
- When your mom finds out about this…Copy !req
346. You won't tell her, will you?Copy !req
347. I'd feel a lot better
if your mother was signing off on this,Copy !req
348. even just a verbal agreement.Copy !req
349. Alfur, you said yourself,
this is an emergency.Copy !req
350. Hm.Copy !req
351. All right.Copy !req
352. Ready to go?Copy !req
353. Ready.Copy !req
354. Everyone, hold on.Copy !req
355. Who wants cucumber sandwiches?Copy !req
356. I'll have one!Copy !req
357. Where are they?Copy !req
