1. Friends, let me introduce myself.
Copy !req
2. Peltzer's the name. Rand Peltzer.
Copy !req
3. That's me there on the corner.
Copy !req
4. I'm an inventor.
And I have a story to tell.
Copy !req
5. Yeah, I know. Who hasn't got a story?
Copy !req
6. Well, nobody's got a story like this one.
Copy !req
7. Nobody.
Copy !req
8. It all started here, in Chinatown.
Copy !req
9. I was hitting the shops
trying to move a little merchandise,
Copy !req
10. maybe find a present for my kid.
Copy !req
11. I tried this one place.
Copy !req
12. Hey. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
13. - What's down here?
- This is it.
Copy !req
14. - This is your grandfather's store?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
15. Come on.
Copy !req
16. No wonder you gotta
drag people in off the street.
Copy !req
17. Hey, go ahead, mister. Look around.
Copy !req
18. See if there's something you like.
Copy !req
19. Ah.
Copy !req
20. Are these things real?
Copy !req
21. I told you, everything's real.
Copy !req
22. Well, friends. You do have
a lot of interesting artifacts here,
Copy !req
23. but there's one thing you don't have.
Copy !req
24. And what's that?
Copy !req
25. Let me show you. I've got it right here.
I'm an inventor. I made this.
Copy !req
26. The Bathroom Buddy.
Copy !req
27. It's the invention
of the century, friends.
Copy !req
28. It eliminates the need to carry heavy
luggage and things when you travel.
Copy !req
29. You got yourself your shaving mirror,
Copy !req
30. you got yourself your toothbrush,
a toothpick. You got toenail clippers...
Copy !req
31. You got a nail file,
Copy !req
32. and you got yourself a dental mirror.
Copy !req
33. This is gonna revolutionize traveling.
Copy !req
34. Now, let's just say,
for the sake of argument,
Copy !req
35. that you're on a bus, a plane or a train.
Copy !req
36. You forgot to brush your teeth.
Copy !req
37. You got yourself a bad case
of dragon breath.
Copy !req
38. Bad breath. Now, what do you do?
Copy !req
39. No problem, friend. All you do is,
you take your toothbrush out,
Copy !req
40. and you push this button.
Copy !req
41. That's absolutely no problem.
Copy !req
42. Cleans up easily.
Copy !req
43. Now, what I'd like to do, sir,
I'd like to give you my card.
Copy !req
44. Rand Peltzer.
"Fantastic Ideas for a Fantastic World."
Copy !req
45. I make the illogical logical.
Copy !req
46. Now, sir, I can get you these.
Copy !req
47. I can get them by the dozen if you'd like.
Copy !req
48. What do you think?
Copy !req
49. What do you think?
Copy !req
50. Oh.
Copy !req
51. Where's that coming from?
Copy !req
52. - What is that?
- Mogwai.
Copy !req
53. - What's he doing?
- Singing.
Copy !req
54. He does that sometimes.
Copy !req
55. I gotta have him. He's incredible.
Copy !req
56. Tell you what I'll do.
Copy !req
57. - I'll give you $100 for him.
- No.
Copy !req
58. Look, I've gotta have him.
It's a present for my son for Christmas.
Copy !req
59. It's exactly what I've been looking for.
Copy !req
60. I've been everywhere.
I'll give you $200.
Copy !req
61. That's $200.
Copy !req
62. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
63. Mogwai not for sale.
Copy !req
64. I thought you said everything in
your grandfather's store was for sale.
Copy !req
65. Grandfather!
Copy !req
66. With mogwai comes much responsibility.
Copy !req
67. I cannot sell him at any price.
Copy !req
68. Wait outside. I'll be right out.
Just go.
Copy !req
69. - Okay, mister, here it is.
- Oh, right.
Copy !req
70. What about your grandfather?
Copy !req
71. Forget what he said. He's crazy.
We need the money.
Copy !req
72. - Now, come on. Do you want it, or not?
- I want it.
Copy !req
73. Look, mister.
There's three rules you've gotta follow.
Copy !req
74. Yeah? What kind of rules?
Copy !req
75. Keep him out of the light.
Copy !req
76. He hates bright light,
especially sunlight.
Copy !req
77. It'll kill him.
Copy !req
78. And keep him away from water.
Don't get him wet.
Copy !req
79. But the most important rule,
the rule you can never forget...
Copy !req
80. No matter how much he cries
no matter how much he begs,
Copy !req
81. never, never feed him after midnight.
You got it?
Copy !req
82. Sure, kid. Whatever you say.
Copy !req
83. Hey, listen, thanks.
And have a merry Christmas.
Copy !req
84. Hey, gang. You're rolling
with Rockin' Ricky Rialto,
Copy !req
85. the voice of Kingston Falls, USA!
Copy !req
86. Simon!
Copy !req
87. Hey, Alex.
Copy !req
88. Getting close to Christmas.
Copy !req
89. Looks like you're gonna get stuck
with a lot of trees again this year.
Copy !req
90. - I thought I'd see you about this time.
- Huh?
Copy !req
91. - Ow!
- What the hell is this?
Copy !req
92. Hey. What are you doing in there?
Copy !req
93. Don't ask.
Copy !req
94. Alex, I came to get my tree.
Copy !req
95. Pete, take that tree
to Mr. Anderson's truck.
Copy !req
96. Gee, Dad.
Copy !req
97. What do you say, Alex?
Copy !req
98. Come on. You can spare one for the boys
down at the sheriff's station.
Copy !req
99. I paid for mine, Frank.
Copy !req
100. Hey, Billy, what's the matter?
You need a jump?
Copy !req
101. No, thanks, Mr. Futterman.
I'm pretty much late for work as it is.
Copy !req
102. These goddamn foreign cars,
they always freeze up on you.
Copy !req
103. You don't find American machinery
doing that.
Copy !req
104. That stuff can take anything.
Copy !req
105. See that plow?
Copy !req
106. Fifteen years old. Hasn't given me
a day's trouble in 15 years.
Copy !req
107. You know why?
Kentucky Harvester.
Copy !req
108. It ain't some foreign piece of crap
you pick up these days.
Copy !req
109. - That's a Kentucky Harvester.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
110. If I wanna keep my job,
I really think I should be going now.
Copy !req
111. Hey, how's that, uh,
comic strip of your's coming?
Copy !req
112. I expect to see you in the funnies
any day now,
Copy !req
113. with Smilin' Jack and Li'l Abner.
Copy !req
114. Oh, Mr. Futterman, they don't
run those comics anymore.
Copy !req
115. They don't?
Copy !req
116. - Oh.
- Come on, Barn.
Copy !req
117. - Say hello to your wife for me, okay?
- Yeah, sure.
Copy !req
118. - See you later.
- So long, Billy.
Copy !req
119. Goddamn foreign cars.
Copy !req
120. Hey, Dr. Murrow.
Copy !req
121. Morning, Billy. Morning.
Copy !req
122. - Morning, Tom.
- Hey, Billy. Barney.
Copy !req
123. Get in there, and be quiet.
Copy !req
124. - You just made it.
- Again.
Copy !req
125. Billy, will you sign this petition?
Copy !req
126. Yeah, sure. What's it for?
Copy !req
127. We're trying to have Dorry's pub
declared a landmark.
Copy !req
128. Mrs. Deagle's trying to take
his lease away.
Copy !req
129. His, too, huh?
Copy !req
130. Yeah, she says it's a dive,
a public nuisance.
Copy !req
131. That's where my dad
proposed to my mom, you know.
Copy !req
132. That's where everybody's dad
proposed to their mom. Cross your "T."
Copy !req
133. Thanks.
Copy !req
134. - Good morning, Mrs. Deagle.
- What's good about it?
Copy !req
135. Oh.
Copy !req
136. Klutz!
Copy !req
137. Watch it, watch it, watch it!
Copy !req
138. Forty, 60, 80...
Copy !req
139. Uh...
Copy !req
140. Two hundred. Thank you.
Copy !req
141. - Mrs. Deagle?
- What? What? What?
Copy !req
142. I just wanted you to let you know
that Joe himself got another job—
Copy !req
143. My husband, Joe Harris.
Copy !req
144. And I've taken up some sewing on the side.
Copy !req
145. Mrs. Harris,
what are you trying to tell me?
Copy !req
146. I'm afraid that neither of us
will be paid for two weeks.
Copy !req
147. Couldn't you get Mr. Corben to...
Copy !req
148. Well, to just give us a little more time?
Copy !req
149. Mrs. Harris,
Copy !req
150. the bank and I have
the same purpose in life,
Copy !req
151. to make money.
Copy !req
152. Not to support a lot of deadbeats!
Copy !req
153. Mrs. Deagle, it's Christmas!
Copy !req
154. Now, you know what to ask Santa for,
don't you?
Copy !req
155. Mommy, I'm hungry.
Copy !req
156. Yes, honey. So am I.
Copy !req
157. This is what's left
of my imported Bavarian snowman.
Copy !req
158. Your dog broke it this morning.
Copy !req
159. Oh.
Copy !req
160. I'm terribly sorry.
Copy !req
161. Just tell me how much I owe you,
I'll be more than happy—
Copy !req
162. I don't want money.
Copy !req
163. I want your dog.
Copy !req
164. Barney?
Copy !req
165. Give him to me.
Copy !req
166. I'll take him to the kennel.
They'll put him to sleep.
Copy !req
167. It'll be quick and painless,
compared to what I could do to him.
Copy !req
168. What could you do?
Copy !req
169. I'll catch the beast myself.
Copy !req
170. Then he'll get what he deserves.
Copy !req
171. A slow, painful death.
Copy !req
172. Maybe I'll put him in my spin dryer
on high heat.
Copy !req
173. That'd do it, all right.
Copy !req
174. Barney! Barney!
Copy !req
175. Barney, will you get off of her?
Copy !req
176. My dear lady, are you all right?
Copy !req
177. I have a very weak heart.
I can't stand a shock like that!
Copy !req
178. What is that dog doing in here?
Copy !req
179. Peltzer, this is a bank, not a pet store!
Copy !req
180. - Very good, Gerald.
- Thank you, Mr. Corben.
Copy !req
181. Barney wouldn't have
hurt you, Mrs. Deagle, honestly—
Copy !req
182. Excuses, excuses.
You're just like your father.
Copy !req
183. I've listened to his miserable excuses
for ten years, the loser.
Copy !req
184. As for you, you mangy cur,
Copy !req
185. I'll get you...
Copy !req
186. When you least expect it.
Copy !req
187. Oh, my heart! Oh!
Copy !req
188. I must apologize for this most unusual...
Copy !req
189. You putz.
Copy !req
190. Hmm.
The old bat never looked better.
Copy !req
191. It's great. You're doing fine.
Copy !req
192. Thanks.
Copy !req
193. Hello, Gerald.
Copy !req
194. If it isn't Captain Clip-on.
Copy !req
195. Hey, guess who almost applied
for unemployment today?
Copy !req
196. - I give up.
- You.
Copy !req
197. But Mr. Corben had second thoughts.
Copy !req
198. He gets so sentimental about the holidays.
Copy !req
199. - Imagine that.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
200. I would've fired you in a second.
Copy !req
201. Merry Christmas to you, too.
Copy !req
202. Excuse me, Mr. Jones.
Copy !req
203. Hey, Peltzer.
Copy !req
204. Look, I'm a junior vice president at 23.
Copy !req
205. By the time I'm 25,
I'm gonna have Mr. Corben's job.
Copy !req
206. By the time I'm 30,
I'll be a millionaire. Look at you.
Copy !req
207. You're practically supporting
your whole family.
Copy !req
208. The world's changing, Peltzer.
Copy !req
209. You gotta change with it.
You gotta be tough.
Copy !req
210. Tough, huh?
And no one's tougher than you, Ger?
Copy !req
211. Don't call me that.
My name's Gerald.
Copy !req
212. Can I get you a drink?
Copy !req
213. Uh, give me a vodka martini.
Shake, don't stir.
Copy !req
214. You're working here?
Copy !req
215. Yeah, weeknights, so, Dorry
doesn't have to pay an extra waitress.
Copy !req
216. Well, I think that's great.
Copy !req
217. Yeah, that's real swell,
if you like working for nothing.
Copy !req
218. Two more rounds for the pool table,
and they're all on the house.
Copy !req
219. Okay.
Copy !req
220. Hey, Kate.
Copy !req
221. You haven't seen my new apartment.
Copy !req
222. I haven't seen your old apartment.
Copy !req
223. Come on, we're talking cable.
Can we have dinner tomorrow night?
Copy !req
224. I'm working.
Copy !req
225. Why don't you tell Dorry you're sick?
Copy !req
226. He can't dock your pay.
Copy !req
227. Billy, is that you?
Copy !req
228. Yeah, Mom, it's me.
Copy !req
229. I'm in the kitchen!
Copy !req
230. - Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
Copy !req
231. Merry Christmas, George!
Copy !req
232. Merry Christmas, movie house!
Copy !req
233. Merry Christmas, emporium!
Copy !req
234. - Hi, Mom.
- Hi, sweetie.
Copy !req
235. Do you need any help?
Copy !req
236. Um... Yeah, you could do the eggs.
Copy !req
237. - Okay.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
238. Dad's machines, they work so well
the first couple of weeks, then...
Copy !req
239. Use the sink.
Copy !req
240. Mom, is something wrong?
Copy !req
241. No. No, it's a sad movie.
Copy !req
242. - How was your day?
- It was fine.
Copy !req
243. Mom, come on, what is it?
What's wrong?
Copy !req
244. Mrs. Deagle called again this afternoon.
Copy !req
245. Let's not talk about it right now. Okay?
Don't say anything to Dad.
Copy !req
246. Fine with me.
Copy !req
247. Don we now our gay apparel
Copy !req
248. Fa la la la la la
La la la
Copy !req
249. Hi, sweetheart.
Copy !req
250. - Welcome home.
- Hey, Dad.
Copy !req
251. Oh, I'm glad you're back.
How was the trip?
Copy !req
252. - It was great.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
253. Yeah. The Miracle Company, the people
who have the Kitchen Companion,
Copy !req
254. they just might be interested
in the Bathroom Buddy.
Copy !req
255. Oh, great.
Copy !req
256. - Oh, thanks, Dad.
- You're gonna like this.
Copy !req
257. What is it? A birdcage?
Copy !req
258. No, no, no, don't shake it.
You're gonna have to open it now.
Copy !req
259. It won't wait till Christmas.
Copy !req
260. It's a puppy, isn't it?
Copy !req
261. Yeah, it is. I can tell.
Copy !req
262. It's a new car.
Copy !req
263. Oh, honey, would you
dim the lights, please?
Copy !req
264. Sure.
Copy !req
265. Dim the lights?
Dad, what, does it glow in the dark?
Copy !req
266. It's important. Trust me.
Copy !req
267. Go ahead, open it.
Copy !req
268. - What is it?
- No.
Copy !req
269. It's your new pet.
Copy !req
270. Come on, Barney. Be a good dog.
Copy !req
271. You're kidding.
Copy !req
272. Dad, it's really neat.
Copy !req
273. Where'd you get this?
Copy !req
274. Oh, some little junk store in Chinatown.
Copy !req
275. - Can I pick him up, Dad?
- Sure, go ahead. Just be careful.
Copy !req
276. - You gotta be gentle.
- I will.
Copy !req
277. I hope he's housebroken.
Copy !req
278. Hey.
Copy !req
279. Oh, isn't he cute?
Copy !req
280. Has it got a name, Dad?
Copy !req
281. Yeah, Mogwai.
Copy !req
282. - What?
- Mogwai.
Copy !req
283. - Mogwai!
- I don't know. Some Chinese word.
Copy !req
284. I just call him "Gizmo."
He seems to like it.
Copy !req
285. Okay.
Copy !req
286. Gizmo.
Copy !req
287. Look up here a minute.
Copy !req
288. Hey. We're getting
our picture taken. Smile.
Copy !req
289. Ready?
Copy !req
290. One, two, three...
Copy !req
291. - No, no.
- Bright light! Bright light!
Copy !req
292. What happened?
Copy !req
293. He hates bright lights.
Copy !req
294. There's some things
I forgot to tell you guys,
Copy !req
295. and they're really important.
Copy !req
296. Number one, he hates bright lights.
We know that.
Copy !req
297. But you gotta keep him
out of the sunlight.
Copy !req
298. Sunlight will kill him.
Copy !req
299. Number two, keep him away from water.
Copy !req
300. Don't give him any water to drink.
Whatever you do, don't give him a bath.
Copy !req
301. And probably the most important thing,
Copy !req
302. don't ever feed him after midnight.
Copy !req
303. Gizmo.
Copy !req
304. Shh.
Copy !req
305. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
306. Looks like you hurt yourself.
Copy !req
307. Light bright! Light bright!
Copy !req
308. Just sit down there
and don't fall off, okay?
Copy !req
309. I'll get you fixed up in no time.
Copy !req
310. All right.
Copy !req
311. Hold still.
Copy !req
312. Sorry. Sorry.
Copy !req
313. Try not to move so much, okay?
Copy !req
314. Good night, Giz.
I'll see you in the morning.
Copy !req
315. Hello.
Copy !req
316. Mrs. Peltzer?
Copy !req
317. I got a tree.
Copy !req
318. Oh, Christ.
Copy !req
319. Billy!
Copy !req
320. Hey, Billy.
Copy !req
321. I just brought in your Christmas tree.
Copy !req
322. What happened?
Copy !req
323. Slight problem
with the Peltzer Peeler-Juicer.
Copy !req
324. I thought your dad fixed it.
Copy !req
325. I thought so, too.
Copy !req
326. You know, you should just
buy orange juice in cartons.
Copy !req
327. It's a lot easier.
Copy !req
328. See, it works.
Copy !req
329. - I had to come.
- So I see.
Copy !req
330. Now, I can see.
It takes a certain kind of guy.
Copy !req
331. And that guy needs a certain kind of dame.
Copy !req
332. It's no problem, Pete.
You can leave it up here.
Copy !req
333. What are you gonna tell him?
Copy !req
334. I'll just tell him a bunch of bikers
stole it from me on my way home.
Copy !req
335. Wow. The Hooded Menace.
Issue number one.
Copy !req
336. It's pretty neat, huh?
Copy !req
337. Yeah. Where'd you get it?
Copy !req
338. Oh, Dr. Fantasy's, I think.
Copy !req
339. - What's that?
- Come here. I'll show you.
Copy !req
340. This is my new pet.
My dad gave him to me.
Copy !req
341. Neat. What's his name?
Copy !req
342. His name's Gizmo. Hi, Giz.
Copy !req
343. - He's a mogwai.
- Mogwai!
Copy !req
344. Gizmo.
Copy !req
345. Cute.
Copy !req
346. Blink your eyes.
Copy !req
347. Go like that. Can you do that, huh?
Go like that?
Copy !req
348. Now, watch, Pete.
Maybe he'll sing.
Copy !req
349. Come on, Giz.
Let's go over to the table.
Copy !req
350. I'll be careful.
Copy !req
351. There we go.
Copy !req
352. Gee, Billy, where can I get one of those?
Copy !req
353. I don't know.
This is the only one I've ever seen.
Copy !req
354. Can I hold him?
Copy !req
355. Sure. I don't see why not.
He seems to like you.
Copy !req
356. Great. Thanks a lot.
Copy !req
357. Sorry.
Copy !req
358. What was in that jar?
Copy !req
359. Nothing. Just water!
Copy !req
360. Why is he making that noise?
Copy !req
361. What is it?
Copy !req
362. I don't know.
Copy !req
363. Is it alive?
Copy !req
364. I don't know.
Copy !req
365. One, two, three, four, five new ones.
Copy !req
366. Now, can I have one?
Copy !req
367. Oh, I don't know, Pete.
Copy !req
368. Hey, look, that one's got
a cute stripe on its head.
Copy !req
369. Hi, cutie.
Copy !req
370. Isn't that incredible, Pete?
Copy !req
371. Yeah, great.
Copy !req
372. Now, I mean, don't you think this is...
This is incredible!
Copy !req
373. Oh, it is neat.
Copy !req
374. I'm serious. It's neat.
Copy !req
375. Oh, Gizmo, what's the matter?
Copy !req
376. - No, no, no.
- Hey, Dad?
Copy !req
377. Dad?
Copy !req
378. I really think
there's something I should tell you—
Copy !req
379. Billy, look at this.
Copy !req
380. Now, you're familiar
with the Bathroom Buddy, right?
Copy !req
381. - Uh-huh.
- I have made an improvement.
Copy !req
382. Watch this.
Copy !req
383. Now, let's say,
you're late for the big meeting.
Copy !req
384. It's really important.
Copy !req
385. You're on your way. You reach up.
Ah. You forgot to shave.
Copy !req
386. Now, what're you gonna do?
Under normal circumstances,
Copy !req
387. you are in trouble.
Copy !req
388. But not if you have
the Bathroom Buddy. Right?
Copy !req
389. Watch this.
Copy !req
390. Voilà.
Copy !req
391. What do you think?
Copy !req
392. Say, that's pretty neat.
Copy !req
393. - Oh, what's this button—
- No, don't push that.
Copy !req
394. - Sorry, Dad.
- It's okay.
Copy !req
395. No, I'm really sorry.
Copy !req
396. It's not your fault.
I'm working on that.
Copy !req
397. I haven't finished that.
I'm gonna get that tomorrow.
Copy !req
398. Dad, the reason I came up here
Copy !req
399. is 'cause there's a problem
with the mogwai.
Copy !req
400. Yeah, what's that?
Copy !req
401. Well, it multiplies with water.
Copy !req
402. What?
Copy !req
403. Dad, do you see what I mean?
Copy !req
404. I don't believe it.
Copy !req
405. All that from water? They got wet?
Copy !req
406. Yeah, plain water.
Copy !req
407. It's funny.
The new ones aren't like Gizmo.
Copy !req
408. The one with the stripes
seems to be the leader.
Copy !req
409. - You know what?
- What?
Copy !req
410. I'll bet every kid in America
would like to have one of these.
Copy !req
411. Hmm.
Copy !req
412. They might even replace the dog
as the family pet.
Copy !req
413. Think about it.
Copy !req
414. "The Peltzer Pet."
Copy !req
415. This could really be the big one.
Copy !req
416. Barn?
Copy !req
417. Barney?
Copy !req
418. Oh, man. That dog...
Copy !req
419. Barney?
Copy !req
420. Barney, who did this to you?
Copy !req
421. Hold on, I'll get you down.
Stay still.
Copy !req
422. Poor dog. Another minute,
and he would've been a dog-sicle.
Copy !req
423. Look, all I know is that I'm positive
that I closed and locked the door.
Copy !req
424. Well, Dad, then how else
did she get to him?
Copy !req
425. Billy, we can't point any fingers,
not even at Mrs. Deagle.
Copy !req
426. Mom, she's been threatening him for weeks.
Copy !req
427. You know she'd love
to get her hands on him.
Copy !req
428. I know, honey,
but we don't have any proof.
Copy !req
429. We can't even find any footprints
leading up to the house.
Copy !req
430. Billy, I'm gonna take Barney
to your grandmother's.
Copy !req
431. I'll take him there
on the way to the convention,
Copy !req
432. Christmas Eve,
I'll pick him up on the way home.
Copy !req
433. He'll be here for Christmas.
It's gonna be all right.
Copy !req
434. I don't think we can drink this.
Copy !req
435. Why not?
Copy !req
436. What's wrong with this?
Copy !req
437. Hey, Billy. Is that a mogwai?
Copy !req
438. Mogwai, yeah, I'm gonna have
Mr. Hanson check it out.
Copy !req
439. And all of a sudden, there were
five new ones like this one.
Copy !req
440. Now, watch this.
Copy !req
441. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
442. Um...
Copy !req
443. Can I keep one of these here,
run some tests on him?
Copy !req
444. Yeah. I think I can spare one.
Copy !req
445. Knock-knock.
Copy !req
446. This is some Christmas,
Katie, I'll tell you.
Copy !req
447. First the old bat closes up the factory,
and now, it's my goddamn plow.
Copy !req
448. Mr. Futterman, guess what?
It's time to go home now.
Copy !req
449. - How about one more beer?
- No, it's late.
Copy !req
450. One more beer,
I'll help you clean up this mess.
Copy !req
451. No, thanks, though.
It'll be okay.
Copy !req
452. - It'll be okay.
- It will not be okay.
Copy !req
453. How'd you, how'd you like to bring
your plow in for a tune-up
Copy !req
454. and find it loaded
with foreign parts. Huh?
Copy !req
455. I mean, everything.
Gaskets, pistons, spark plugs.
Copy !req
456. All of it's foreign.
Copy !req
457. - Hey, Billy.
- Hi.
Copy !req
458. - Going home?
- Oh. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
459. Gremlins.
Copy !req
460. You gotta watch out for the foreigners
Copy !req
461. 'cause they plant gremlins
in their machinery.
Copy !req
462. The same gremlins brought down
our planes in the big one.
Copy !req
463. - Big one?
- That's right.
Copy !req
464. World War II.
Copy !req
465. Good old W-W-I-I.
Copy !req
466. You know, they're still
shipping them over here.
Copy !req
467. They put them in the cars,
they put them the TV.
Copy !req
468. They put them in the stereos,
and the radios you stick in your ears.
Copy !req
469. They put them in the watches.
Copy !req
470. We got little teeny gremlins
from their watches—
Copy !req
471. I don't think it's such a good idea
that you drive. Why don't you walk home?
Copy !req
472. You know, Katie,
I think maybe I'll walk home.
Copy !req
473. - Good.
- It's a nice night.
Copy !req
474. - Good night, kids.
- Good night.
Copy !req
475. Ah.
Copy !req
476. Gremlins.
Copy !req
477. Silent night
Copy !req
478. Holy night
Copy !req
479. All is calm
Copy !req
480. All is bright
Copy !req
481. Round yon Virgin
Copy !req
482. Mother and Child
Copy !req
483. Holy infant...
Copy !req
484. That was really good, you know,
the way you handled Mr. Futterman.
Copy !req
485. Oh, I'm used to it.
Copy !req
486. He's been like that
ever since he lost his job.
Copy !req
487. He's like a lot of people around here.
He just wants somebody to listen.
Copy !req
488. Especially around the holidays.
Copy !req
489. Why is that?
Copy !req
490. It's when a lot of people
get really depressed.
Copy !req
491. Oh.
Copy !req
492. That's funny, you know,
Copy !req
493. because I always thought everyone
was happy during the holidays,
Copy !req
494. no matter what.
Copy !req
495. Well, most people are, but some aren't.
Copy !req
496. While everybody else
is opening their presents,
Copy !req
497. they're opening up their wrists.
Copy !req
498. Cheery thought.
Copy !req
499. It's true. The suicide rate's
always the highest around the holidays.
Copy !req
500. Now I'm depressed.
Do you ever get depressed on Christmas?
Copy !req
501. I don't celebrate Christmas.
Copy !req
502. What, are you Hindu, or something?
Copy !req
503. No, I just don't like to.
Copy !req
504. What's not to like?
I mean, it's a lot of fun.
Copy !req
505. God!
Copy !req
506. Say you hate Washington's Birthday
or Thanksgiving, and nobody cares.
Copy !req
507. But say you hate Christmas,
Copy !req
508. everybody makes you feel like
you're a leper or something.
Copy !req
509. - I'm sorry.
- No, it's okay.
Copy !req
510. I'm sorry.
I'm just a little tired and cranky.
Copy !req
511. Yeah.
Copy !req
512. Well...
Copy !req
513. Thanks for walking me home, Billy.
Copy !req
514. Hey, no problem.
Copy !req
515. - Good night.
- Good night.
Copy !req
516. Uh, Kate?
Copy !req
517. Um...
Copy !req
518. I was just wondering, uh, do you get
any free nights off from Dorry's?
Copy !req
519. Thursdays.
Copy !req
520. Thursdays, yeah.
Copy !req
521. Because, I mean,
I was just wondering, uh,
Copy !req
522. if you're not doing anything
this Thursday night,
Copy !req
523. maybe you'd like to, uh, go out on a date
Copy !req
524. with me?
Copy !req
525. I'd love to.
Copy !req
526. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
527. Well, that's great.
Copy !req
528. Yeah, well, we can talk about it,
you know, on the phone and kind of
Copy !req
529. square everything away.
Copy !req
530. Good night, Billy.
Copy !req
531. 'Night.
Copy !req
532. Hey there.
Copy !req
533. Give me your arm, boy.
Come here, come on.
Copy !req
534. Give me your arm.
No, no, this is not gonna hurt.
Copy !req
535. This isn't gonna hurt.
Copy !req
536. Not a big guy like you. Come on.
Copy !req
537. There you go.
See, that's not so bad. Come on.
Copy !req
538. Good, good. That's good. Okay.
Copy !req
539. Just a little blood test, pal.
You'll never miss it.
Copy !req
540. They're like huge seed pods.
Copy !req
541. This must be the way that body
in my closet was formed.
Copy !req
542. Miles, where did they come from?
Copy !req
543. - Having fun?
- Fun.
Copy !req
544. - Pretty neat, huh?
- Neat.
Copy !req
545. What is with you guys? How about
shutting up for a change, okay?
Copy !req
546. I already fed you.
Copy !req
547. Well, it's not twelve o'clock yet.
Copy !req
548. All right. Keep an eye on them, Giz.
I'll be back in a second.
Copy !req
549. Here we go.
Copy !req
550. Now, maybe, you guys will be quiet.
Copy !req
551. Hey, you guys are really hungry.
Copy !req
552. Hey, Giz, you want some?
Copy !req
553. Do you want some chicken?
Copy !req
554. No?
Copy !req
555. All right.
Copy !req
556. Yum-yum.
Copy !req
557. That's it, good buddy.
Call it a night.
Copy !req
558. You fools, you're in danger!
Copy !req
559. Can't you see? They're after you!
Copy !req
560. They're after all of us!
Our wives, our children, everyone!
Copy !req
561. They're here already! You're next!
Copy !req
562. You're next. You're next! You're next!
Copy !req
563. You're next!
Copy !req
564. Uh-oh!
Copy !req
565. - Mom?
- Yeah?
Copy !req
566. Mom, could you come up here, please?
Copy !req
567. Then I want you to bring the
vacuum cleaner upstairs for me.
Copy !req
568. What are they?
Copy !req
569. Well, they're the mogwai, I guess.
Except for Gizmo.
Copy !req
570. Did you get them wet, or something?
Copy !req
571. No.
Copy !req
572. Did you feed them after midnight?
Copy !req
573. Well, I gave them some chicken.
But I made sure that it...
Copy !req
574. No, no, no. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
575. I made sure...
Copy !req
576. Mom? What's going on here?
Copy !req
577. Mogwai...
Copy !req
578. Yuck!
Copy !req
579. What'd you say this was called?
A "putrid stage"?
Copy !req
580. Pupal. Pupal stage.
Copy !req
581. - Like a butterfly.
- Yeah, right.
Copy !req
582. Right. This is a cocoon, and inside,
he's going through changes.
Copy !req
583. Lots of changes.
Copy !req
584. Like my mother.
Copy !req
585. No. No, that's different.
Copy !req
586. This is called a metamorphosis.
Copy !req
587. It's a change in form, and in appearance.
Copy !req
588. Hello?
Copy !req
589. Hello? Hi, honey.
Copy !req
590. No, I'm sure it works fine.
Copy !req
591. I was just out on the back porch
for a second.
Copy !req
592. The convention's great.
Copy !req
593. Yeah.
Copy !req
594. I said... I said, it's great.
Copy !req
595. Actually, the competition's, uh...
Copy !req
596. Sorry, miss.
Copy !req
597. The competition's a little more
advanced than I expected.
Copy !req
598. I was giving myself an oil...
Copy !req
599. Some really neat things.
Copy !req
600. Oh, Rand.
Copy !req
601. You've never been so far away
on Christmas Eve before.
Copy !req
602. I know it's Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
603. I'll do the best I can.
Copy !req
604. All right. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
605. All I could get for it was $36.
It was their wedding ring—
Copy !req
606. If there's anything I can do...
But it's completely out of my hands.
Copy !req
607. - Excuse me.
- I'll be absolutely delighted—
Copy !req
608. - Hello, Mrs. Harris.
- Hello, Gerald.
Copy !req
609. - I'm under such terrible pressure.
- Mr. Corben, don't you—
Copy !req
610. Why don't you just
speak to Mrs. Deagle about it?
Copy !req
611. - If you just speak to her about it.
- Speak to Mrs. Deagle?
Copy !req
612. - Maybe—
- See, I could...
Copy !req
613. Mrs. Deagle!
Copy !req
614. Deposit this to my account.
Copy !req
615. Where's that psychotic canine of yours?
Copy !req
616. Still hiding under the counter?
Copy !req
617. Uh, no, I'm afraid he's on vacation.
Copy !req
618. You'd better keep him behind
locked doors, because if I catch him,
Copy !req
619. he's in for a slow death.
Copy !req
620. Here's Mr. Bird's heart.
Copy !req
621. Small animals lose heat
faster than large ones.
Copy !req
622. So their blood must circulate
faster to keep their bodies warm.
Copy !req
623. Now, in small birds,
Copy !req
624. their hearts beat
about 600 times per minute.
Copy !req
625. Cats, 130.
Copy !req
626. Man, about 75,
Copy !req
627. and a big old elephant's heart,
only 25 a minute.
Copy !req
628. Hey, Doc, you got a human heart?
Copy !req
629. Has he got a human heart?
Wait till you see this. Roll 10.
Copy !req
630. Okay, class.
Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
631. And, uh, if any of you wanna bring me
a Christmas present,
Copy !req
632. - uh, a cassette deck wouldn't be bad.
- Mr. Hanson?
Copy !req
633. I just want to find out something—
Copy !req
634. Of course, tickets to the Super Bowl
would be very nice. Or a Rolls-Royce...
Copy !req
635. Mr. Hanson, wait.
Let me just talk to you for a second.
Copy !req
636. - Mr. Hanson?
- make it red.
Copy !req
637. Bye.
Copy !req
638. this seat of love and compassion
Copy !req
639. weights only
about three-fourths of a pound.
Copy !req
640. Yet the work it turns out
is almost incredible.
Copy !req
641. How long would you say that it takes
your heart to pump a quart of blood?
Copy !req
642. Just standing around like this?
Copy !req
643. A quart, a couple of minutes, I guess.
Copy !req
644. You're way off.
Copy !req
645. Normally, the heart with pump a quart
of blood in just about ten seconds.
Copy !req
646. In ten minutes,
it would fill the gas tank of your car.
Copy !req
647. And it ten hours,
it would fill a gas truck.
Copy !req
648. Billy...
Copy !req
649. It just hatched.
Copy !req
650. I'll be right there.
Copy !req
651. Uh...
Copy !req
652. Hey there.
Copy !req
653. You, uh, remember me?
Copy !req
654. Roy.
Copy !req
655. Huh?
Copy !req
656. Remember me, don't you?
Copy !req
657. I, uh, went and got you...
Copy !req
658. a candy bar.
Copy !req
659. I thought you might be hungry.
Copy !req
660. You hungry?
Copy !req
661. Hmm?
Copy !req
662. You should try one of these.
Copy !req
663. They, uh...
Copy !req
664. Hey. Hey.
Copy !req
665. Hey there. Uh...
Copy !req
666. Come here. Don't, don't be afraid.
There's no reason to be afraid.
Copy !req
667. Where'd you go? Huh?
Copy !req
668. Where are you?
I know you're in there.
Copy !req
669. I know you're under there.
Copy !req
670. Come on, now.
Copy !req
671. Hey. You're not still angry
about that little blood test, are you?
Copy !req
672. Come on out. Take a bite.
Let me see you. Hmm?
Copy !req
673. I just wanna, just wanna see you.
Copy !req
674. Here... Here, you...
Copy !req
675. You try some of this, now.
I know you gotta be hungry.
Copy !req
676. Hmm?
Copy !req
677. Yum-yum.
Copy !req
678. Hey.
Copy !req
679. There now. Don't you feel better?
Copy !req
680. Mr. Hanson?
Copy !req
681. Ow!
Copy !req
682. Oh, yum.
Copy !req
683. Gizmo!
Copy !req
684. Yes, Billy, are you okay? Where are you?
Copy !req
685. Mom, they hatched.
Get out of the house.
Copy !req
686. Phone home.
Copy !req
687. Mom? Mom?
Copy !req
688. Billy, what—
Copy !req
689. Yummy-yum.
Copy !req
690. Yum-yum-yum.
Copy !req
691. Get out of my kitchen!
Copy !req
692. Neat.
Copy !req
693. Aah.
Copy !req
694. Hey!
Copy !req
695. - Mom, are you all right?
- I think so.
Copy !req
696. Mom, it's Stripe.
Copy !req
697. - Should I get it?
- Yeah, go ahead and get it, honey.
Copy !req
698. Oh, I didn't mean that.
Copy !req
699. Hello, Dr. Molinaro.
Can we come in, please?
Copy !req
700. My mom's had a bit of an accident.
Copy !req
701. Billy. Be careful.
Copy !req
702. What happened?
Copy !req
703. Giz?
Copy !req
704. Hey. Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
705. Bright light. Bright light.
Copy !req
706. Come here.
Copy !req
707. They almost got you, huh?
Climb in here.
Copy !req
708. The question is totally without meaning.
Copy !req
709. Pardon me, sir. Stuff.
Copy !req
710. Thick and heavy.
Copy !req
711. Would 60 gallons be sufficient?
Copy !req
712. I rarely use it myself, sir.
It promotes rust.
Copy !req
713. Don't worry, Giz, we'll find him.
Copy !req
714. No!
Copy !req
715. Gremlins, huh?
Copy !req
716. - Little monsters.
- Right.
Copy !req
717. - Hundreds of them?
- Well, I'm not sure. Maybe thousands.
Copy !req
718. Thousands.
Copy !req
719. Look, I know it sounds crazy.
I know it does.
Copy !req
720. But in a matter of hours,
Copy !req
721. this town's gonna be turned into
a major disaster area.
Copy !req
722. Now, you've got to warn people!
Copy !req
723. - You think this kid is drunk, Brent?
- No, but you are.
Copy !req
724. I am not drunk!
Copy !req
725. Tell me something, Billy. Where do
these little gremlins come from, huh?
Copy !req
726. All right.
Copy !req
727. - My father gave me one as a present.
- Oh, Christ.
Copy !req
728. Does your father always give you
vicious little monsters for a present?
Copy !req
729. No. No, they don't start out
vicious at first.
Copy !req
730. Oh, of course, not.
Copy !req
731. They don't. They look like this.
Copy !req
732. Could you dim the lights in here, please?
Copy !req
733. Sure.
Copy !req
734. Go ahead, Brent. Dim the lights.
Copy !req
735. Gusto.
Copy !req
736. 'Tis the season to be jolly
Copy !req
737. Fa la la la la
Copy !req
738. Right, Murray?
Copy !req
739. La la la
Copy !req
740. Sheila, will you quit messing with the TV?
Copy !req
741. - You have the thingy.
- Huh?
Copy !req
742. Oh.
Copy !req
743. - Goddamn foreign TV.
- Oh, now...
Copy !req
744. I told you we should've got a Zenith.
Copy !req
745. Foreigners.
Copy !req
746. I can't get a damn thing on this.
Copy !req
747. Where are you going?
Copy !req
748. I'm gonna check the antenna.
Maybe the damn thing blew down.
Copy !req
749. Be careful, dear.
Copy !req
750. What the hell is that?
Copy !req
751. Aah!
Copy !req
752. Run! Run, Sheila!
Copy !req
753. Make it go away!
Copy !req
754. - It's them!
- Murray, you're crazy.
Copy !req
755. There's a real gremlin in my cab.
Copy !req
756. Yum-yum.
Copy !req
757. Oh. Hello, Anderson.
Wanna mail something, do you?
Copy !req
758. Yeah. Just a last-minute package, Father.
Copy !req
759. Be my guest.
Copy !req
760. That's strange.
Copy !req
761. Patriotic little fellow, ain't he?
Copy !req
762. Waving the flag and everything.
Copy !req
763. Hey, there.
Coochie-coochie...
Copy !req
764. Be careful, Frank.
He might tear your arm off.
Copy !req
765. You want me to put the cuffs on him?
Copy !req
766. Billy, tell me something, will you?
Copy !req
767. How come a cute guy like this
Copy !req
768. can turn into
a thousand ugly monsters, huh?
Copy !req
769. Well, you see, this is before
it enters the pupal stage.
Copy !req
770. The pupal stage.
Copy !req
771. Yeah, right.
Plus, it multiplies with water.
Copy !req
772. Oh, Christ.
Copy !req
773. Hey, get the kid some water, will you?
Copy !req
774. I wouldn't do that, Sheriff.
Copy !req
775. Sheriff's office.
Copy !req
776. Yeah, speaking.
Copy !req
777. What?
Copy !req
778. Oh, no.
Copy !req
779. Yeah, yeah, sure, sure,
we— we'll be right over.
Copy !req
780. What happened?
Copy !req
781. The Futtermans.
Copy !req
782. Something about a snowplow.
A freak accident.
Copy !req
783. - It's the creatures!
- Oh, the creatures.
Copy !req
784. The creatures are making it
look like an accident.
Copy !req
785. Sheriff.
Copy !req
786. Sheriff, will you listen to me?
Copy !req
787. You listen to me, kid.
Copy !req
788. Go on home, take little Gizmo there,
Copy !req
789. sit by the fireplace
and open your Christmas presents, okay?
Copy !req
790. Attaboy.
Copy !req
791. - Let me drive.
- No, you're drunk.
Copy !req
792. You always get to drive.
Copy !req
793. Because I'm the sheriff, asshole.
Copy !req
794. Deagle, Deagle, Deagle!
Copy !req
795. Kopeck, you stop that, you bad kitty.
Copy !req
796. Kopeck's a bad kitty.
Copy !req
797. Ruble's a good little kitty.
Copy !req
798. We'll find you something to eat.
She's a good kitty.
Copy !req
799. Here we go. Here we go. Come on.
Copy !req
800. All right, you stop that.
Copy !req
801. You stop it.
Copy !req
802. Oh. Oh.
Copy !req
803. Mean kitty, you start eating
before everybody gets here.
Copy !req
804. Come on, Dollar Bill.
Copy !req
805. Yes, here we go, Dollar Bill.
Copy !req
806. Mommy'll fix you
something good to eat here.
Copy !req
807. Everybody here?
Copy !req
808. All right, let go of Mommy's coat.
Copy !req
809. Here.
Copy !req
810. Christmas carolers.
Copy !req
811. I hate Christmas carolers.
Copy !req
812. Screechy-voiced little glue-sniffers.
Copy !req
813. I warned you brats.
Copy !req
814. Oh, what are they? What are they?
Copy !req
815. They're here!
Copy !req
816. Oh, they've come for me!
They've come!
Copy !req
817. I'm not ready.
Copy !req
818. I'm not ready yet. I'm not ready.
Copy !req
819. My God, Frye! That was Mrs. Deagle.
Copy !req
820. Get them off! Get them off! Help me!
Copy !req
821. Help me!
Copy !req
822. Jesus, Frank. That's Dave Meyers.
He does Santa every year.
Copy !req
823. Get 'em off of me!
Get 'em off of me!
Copy !req
824. Yeah.
Copy !req
825. What the hell is he doing now?
Copy !req
826. What's that stuff he's got all over him?
Copy !req
827. Huh?
Copy !req
828. Frank, I really think
we should go now, okay?
Copy !req
829. Start the car, 'cause I'd really like
to go back to the station now.
Copy !req
830. Frank, please.
Copy !req
831. Frank. Frank. Frank.
Copy !req
832. Frank!
Copy !req
833. Jesus, Frank.
Copy !req
834. What the hell are those things?
Copy !req
835. It's supposed to be Christmas.
What the hell's going on?
Copy !req
836. - Shut up, will you?
- Frank!
Copy !req
837. - Frank!
- The brakes! The brakes!
Copy !req
838. I don't believe it.
Copy !req
839. You're on with Rockin' Ricky! Go.
Copy !req
840. Hi, Rockin' Ricky. My name's Pete.
Copy !req
841. There's these little green guys
with big teeth
Copy !req
842. running around town wrecking things.
Copy !req
843. Hey, kid.
This is Christmas, not Halloween.
Copy !req
844. Listen, gang.
Copy !req
845. Rockin' Ricky's getting fed up
with this Orson Welles crap!
Copy !req
846. So, cool. Will ya?
Copy !req
847. What's that?
Kitty, what's that back there?
Copy !req
848. Some of Rockin' Ricky fans?
Copy !req
849. Hey! You're not a Rockin' Ricky fan.
Copy !req
850. Sir, I notice that you're a smoker.
Copy !req
851. Hmm?
Copy !req
852. I said, I notice that you're a smoker.
I see the cigarettes.
Copy !req
853. I noticed, here, this broken ashtray.
Copy !req
854. Well, it's very fortunate
that I happened to come by right now.
Copy !req
855. Let me introduce myself. My name's
Randall Peltzer. I'm an inventor.
Copy !req
856. "Fantastic Ideas for a Fantastic World."
I make the illogical logical.
Copy !req
857. And I have something here that
I think you might be interested in.
Copy !req
858. Yes, sir, I do.
Copy !req
859. This is...
Copy !req
860. the Peltzer Smokeless Ashtray.
Copy !req
861. I think this can solve
your problem here, sir.
Copy !req
862. Please don't bite me.
Copy !req
863. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
864. Aah!
Copy !req
865. Aah! Okay.
Copy !req
866. Okay, okay.
Copy !req
867. - You all right?
- Yes.
Copy !req
868. Let's get out of here.
Copy !req
869. Aah!
Copy !req
870. What's that? Aah!
Copy !req
871. Don't worry. He's with me.
He's not one of them.
Copy !req
872. What's wrong?
Why isn't the car starting?
Copy !req
873. All right. We're gonna have to
make a run for it, okay?
Copy !req
874. One, two, three!
Copy !req
875. They've been here, too.
Copy !req
876. Billy, what are these things?
Where do they come from?
Copy !req
877. They're gremlins, Kate.
Copy !req
878. Just like Mr. Futterman said.
Copy !req
879. Now, I have another reason
to hate Christmas.
Copy !req
880. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
881. The worst thing that ever
happened to me was on Christmas.
Copy !req
882. Oh, God. It was so horrible.
Copy !req
883. It was Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
884. I was nine years old.
Copy !req
885. Me and Mom were decorating the tree,
Copy !req
886. waiting for Dad to come home from work.
Copy !req
887. A couple hours went by.
Dad wasn't home.
Copy !req
888. So, Mom called the office.
No answer.
Copy !req
889. Christmas Day came and went,
and still nothing.
Copy !req
890. So, the police began a search.
Copy !req
891. Four or five days went by.
Copy !req
892. Neither one of us could eat or sleep.
Copy !req
893. Everything was falling apart.
Copy !req
894. It was snowing outside.
Copy !req
895. The house was freezing, so
I went to try to light up the fire.
Copy !req
896. And that's when I noticed the smell.
Copy !req
897. The firemen came and
broke through the chimney top.
Copy !req
898. And me and Mom were expecting
them to pull out a dead cat or a bird.
Copy !req
899. And instead, they pulled out my father.
Copy !req
900. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit.
Copy !req
901. He'd been climbing down the chimney
on Christmas Eve,
Copy !req
902. his arms loaded with presents.
Copy !req
903. He was gonna surprise us.
Copy !req
904. He slipped and broke his neck.
He died instantly.
Copy !req
905. And that's how I found out
there was no Santa Claus.
Copy !req
906. Don't worry about that smoke.
It'll stop. It's guaranteed.
Copy !req
907. Barney, shut up.
Copy !req
908. Don't start with me.
I got a long way to go.
Copy !req
909. Shut up.
Copy !req
910. Where did they all go?
Copy !req
911. It'll be light soon.
Copy !req
912. I bet they're all together someplace dark.
Copy !req
913. Mogwai!
Copy !req
914. Shh, Gizmo.
Copy !req
915. They're inside.
Copy !req
916. All of them?
Copy !req
917. Milk Duds.
Copy !req
918. What are they doing?
Copy !req
919. They're watching Snow White.
Copy !req
920. And they love it.
Copy !req
921. Where's the boiler room?
Copy !req
922. It's in the back of the theater.
Come on.
Copy !req
923. Down there.
Copy !req
924. Milk Duds.
Copy !req
925. Yum.
Copy !req
926. Ah.
Copy !req
927. Yum-yum.
Copy !req
928. Cover your mouth.
Don't breathe any gas.
Copy !req
929. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
930. - Billy.
- Go.
Copy !req
931. Billy!
Copy !req
932. Billy!
Copy !req
933. - Hurry up.
- Move, Katie! Watch out!
Copy !req
934. Come on!
Copy !req
935. Billy... In the department store.
Copy !req
936. Oh, Stripe.
Copy !req
937. Gizmo!
Copy !req
938. That's Stripe. He's the leader.
Copy !req
939. If he gets to water,
it'll start all over again.
Copy !req
940. Take Giz, go back and try
and find some kind of light switch.
Copy !req
941. Careful, Billy.
Copy !req
942. Billy!
Copy !req
943. Ward is your snowplow headquarters.
Copy !req
944. Attention, Christmas shoppers.
Copy !req
945. Saturday morning at 8:30, we'll have
Santa Claus for all the kiddies.
Copy !req
946. That's right. Santa Claus...
Copy !req
947. Don't forget...
We have the Kingston Falls...
Copy !req
948. Attention, Christmas shoppers.
Copy !req
949. Light bright.
Copy !req
950. Bye-bye, Billy!
Copy !req
951. massive reports of the gremlins...
Copy !req
952. It takes a certain kind of guy.
Copy !req
953. And that guy needs a certain kind of dame.
Copy !req
954. Glub glub.
Copy !req
955. Water!
Copy !req
956. Gun!
Copy !req
957. Hey, gang! It's been
a rough night for Rockin' Ricky,
Copy !req
958. but he's still on the air!
Copy !req
959. The Marines are standing by
with fire hoses.
Copy !req
960. Barney! Barney!
Copy !req
961. we're gonna turn the hoses on them!
Copy !req
962. Billy.
Copy !req
963. Move!
Copy !req
964. Gizmo!
Copy !req
965. Gizmo caca!
Copy !req
966. Light bright! Light bright!
Copy !req
967. Light bright!
Copy !req
968. What the hell is that?
Copy !req
969. Come here, Giz. You okay?
Copy !req
970. Dad, your scarf?
Copy !req
971. We switch now to a live report
Copy !req
972. from the scene of the Christmas Eve riots.
Copy !req
973. - We're on?
- We're on.
Copy !req
974. This is Lew Landers,
WDHB's Action Central News,
Copy !req
975. at the site of Dorry's Tavern,
Copy !req
976. or what used to be Dorry's Tavern,
in Kingston Falls,
Copy !req
977. where officials are now blaming
Copy !req
978. mass hysteria for the escalating
series of unexplained
Copy !req
979. accidents, fires and explosions
that rocked this once-peaceful town
Copy !req
980. on Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
981. The bizarre demise of Mrs. Ruby Deagle,
Copy !req
982. widow of convicted stock-swindler
Donald Deagle, seems to spell an end...
Copy !req
983. Don't chew that. Don't chew.
Copy !req
984. I bet he'd like some chicken soup.
Copy !req
985. Oh, honey, this is the gentleman
who sold me the mogwai.
Copy !req
986. "Sold." An interesting choice of words.
Copy !req
987. Papa!
Copy !req
988. Conflicting eyewitness reports
concerning "little green men."
Copy !req
989. You teach him to watch television?
Copy !req
990. - I—
- Oh, no.
Copy !req
991. There was, I believe, a box.
Copy !req
992. Oh. Here. It's here.
Copy !req
993. Dad...
Copy !req
994. Rand, your scarf.
Copy !req
995. I warned you.
Copy !req
996. With mogwai comes much responsibility.
Copy !req
997. But you didn't listen.
Copy !req
998. And you see what happens.
Copy !req
999. I didn't mean it.
Copy !req
1000. You do with mogwai what your society
Copy !req
1001. has done with all of nature's gifts.
Copy !req
1002. You do not understand.
Copy !req
1003. You are not ready.
Copy !req
1004. - Papa?
- Yes?
Copy !req
1005. Uh...
Copy !req
1006. He has something to say to you.
Copy !req
1007. You mean you understand what
he says when he speaks to you?
Copy !req
1008. To hear, one has only to listen.
Copy !req
1009. Bye, Billy.
Copy !req
1010. Perhaps, someday, you may be ready.
Copy !req
1011. Until then, mogwai
Copy !req
1012. will be waiting.
Copy !req
1013. Excuse me, sir.
Copy !req
1014. Before you go, I just wanted to tell you
Copy !req
1015. that I am truly sorry for what's happened.
Copy !req
1016. And, uh, if you would accept it,
I'd like to
Copy !req
1017. give you this small token.
Copy !req
1018. This is the only one.
There's one other one.
Copy !req
1019. But this is an invention of mine.
Copy !req
1020. Smokeless Ashtray.
Copy !req
1021. How did you know that?
Copy !req
1022. Man at gas station tried to sell me.
Copy !req
1023. Latest word in technology.
Copy !req
1024. Very generous of you.
Copy !req
1025. I'm sure it will come in handy.
Copy !req
1026. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
1027. Well, that's the story.
Copy !req
1028. So, if your air conditioner
goes on the fritz,
Copy !req
1029. or your washing machine blows up,
Copy !req
1030. or your video recorder conks out...
Copy !req
1031. before you call the repairman,
Copy !req
1032. turn on the lights,
check all the closets and cupboards,
Copy !req
1033. look under all the beds.
Copy !req
1034. Because you never can tell.
Copy !req
1035. There just might be
a gremlin in your house.
Copy !req
