SO I See.Copy !req

357. Don't you think this—?
This is incredible!Copy !req
358. Oh, it is neat.Copy !req
359. I'm serious. It's neat.Copy !req
360. Gizmo, what's the matter?Copy !req
361. - No, no, no.

363. You're familiar

367. It's really important.Copy !req

377. I'm sorry.Copy !req
378. It's not your fault. I'm working
on that. I haven't finished that.Copy !req
379. I came up here because
there's a problem with the mogwai.Copy !req
380. Yeah, what's that?Copy !req
381. It multiplies with water.Copy !req
382. What?Copy !req
383. Do you see what I mean?Copy !req
384. I don't believe that.Copy !req
385. All that from water?
They got wet?Copy !req
386. Plain water.Copy !req
387. It's funny.
The new ones aren't like Gizmo.Copy !req
388. The striped one
seems to be the leader.Copy !req
389. You know what?Copy !req
390. I'll bet every kid in America
would like one of these.Copy !req
391. They might replace
the dog as the family pet.Copy !req
392. Think about it.Copy !req
393. The Peltzer Pet.Copy !req
394. This could really be the big one.Copy !req
395. Barn?Copy !req
396. Barney?Copy !req
397. Barney?Copy !req
398. Barney, who did this to you?Copy !req
399. Hold on, I'll get you down.Copy !req
400. Stay still.Copy !req
401. Poor dog. Another minute
and he would've been a dog-sicle.Copy !req
402. All I know is that I'm positive
that I closed and locked the door.Copy !req
403. How else did she get to him?Copy !req
404. We can't point any fingers,
not even at Mrs. Deagle.Copy !req
405. She's been threatening him.
She'd love to get her hands on him.Copy !req
406. We don't have proof. We can't even
find footprints leading up to the house.Copy !req
407. I'm gonna take Barney
to your grandmother's.Copy !req
408. Take him there on the way to the
convention, pick him up on the way home.Copy !req
409. He'll be here for Christmas.
It'll be all right.Copy !req
410. I don't think we can drink this.Copy !req
411. Why not?Copy !req
412. What's wrong with this?Copy !req
413. Hey, Billy.Copy !req
414. Is that a mogwai?Copy !req
415. Yeah, I'm gonna have
Mr. Hanson check it out.Copy !req
416. And all of a sudden, there were
five new ones like this one.Copy !req
417. Now watch this.Copy !req
418. Can I keep one of these here,
run some tests on him?Copy !req
419. I think I can spare one.Copy !req
420. This is some Christmas,
Katie, I'll tell you.Copy !req
421. First the old bat closes the factory,
and now it's my goddamn plow.Copy !req
422. Mr. Futterman, guess what?
It's time to go home now.Copy !req
423. - How about one more beer?
- No, it's late.Copy !req
424. One more beer,
I'll help you clean up.Copy !req
425. No, thanks, though.
It'll be okay.Copy !req
426. - It'll be okay.
- It will not be okay.Copy !req
427. I brought my plow in for a tune-up
and found it loaded with foreign parts.Copy !req
428. I mean, everything.
Gaskets, pistons, spark plugs.Copy !req
429. All of it's foreign.Copy !req
430. Billy!
Hi.Copy !req
431. Going home?Copy !req
432. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
433. Gremlins!Copy !req
434. You gotta watch out for foreigners.Copy !req
435. They plant gremlins
in their machinery.Copy !req
436. The same gremlins brought down
our planes in the big one.Copy !req
437. That's right.Copy !req
438. World War ll.Copy !req
439. Good old...Copy !req
440. W-W-I-|.Copy !req
441. They're still shipping them over here.Copy !req
442. They put them in the cars, the TV.Copy !req
443. They put them in the radios
you stick in your ears.Copy !req
444. They put them in the watches.
Little teeny gremlins.Copy !req
445. It's not a good idea that you drive.
Why don't you walk home?Copy !req
446. You know, Katie, I think
maybe I'll walk home.Copy !req
447. - Good.
- It's a nice night.Copy !req
448. - Good night, kids.
- Good night.Copy !req
449. Gremlins.Copy !req
450. That was really good,
the way you handled Mr. Futterman.Copy !req
451. I'm used to it.Copy !req
452. He's been like that
ever since he lost his job.Copy !req
453. He's like a lot of people around here.
He just wants somebody to listen.Copy !req
454. Especially around the holidays.Copy !req
455. Why is that?Copy !req
456. It's when a lot of people
get really depressed.Copy !req
457. I always thought everyone was happy
during the holidays, no matter what.Copy !req
458. Most people are, but some aren't.Copy !req
459. While everybody else opens up presents,
they're opening up their wrists.Copy !req
460. Cheery thought.Copy !req
461. It's true. The suicide rate's
always the highest around the holidays.Copy !req
462. Now I'm depressed.Copy !req
463. Do you ever get depressed on Christmas?Copy !req
464. I don't celebrate Christmas.Copy !req
465. Are you Hindu or something?Copy !req
466. No, I just don't like to.Copy !req
467. What's not to like?
I mean, it's a lot of fun.Copy !req
468. God!Copy !req
469. Say you hate Thanksgiving,
and nobody cares.Copy !req
470. But say you hate Christmas, everybody
makes you feel like you're a leper.Copy !req
471. I'm sorry.
It's okay.Copy !req
472. I'm sorry. I'm just
a little tired and cranky.Copy !req
473. Yeah.Copy !req
474. Thanks for walking me home.Copy !req
475. No problem.Copy !req
476. - Good night.
- Good night.Copy !req
477. Kate?Copy !req
478. I was just wondering, do you
get any free nights off from Dorry's?Copy !req
479. Thursdays.Copy !req
480. Thursdays, yeah.Copy !req
481. Because I was just wondering...Copy !req
482. if you're free this Thursday night,
maybe you'd like to go out on a date...Copy !req
483. with me?Copy !req
484. I'd love to.Copy !req
485. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
486. Well, that's great!Copy !req
487. We can talk about it
on the phone and kind of...Copy !req
488. square everything away.Copy !req
489. Good night, Billy.Copy !req
490. 'Night.Copy !req
491. Hey there.Copy !req
492. Give me your arm, boy.
Come here, come on.Copy !req
493. Give me your arm.
No, this is not gonna hurt.Copy !req
494. This isn't gonna hurt.Copy !req
495. Not a big guy like you. Come on.Copy !req
496. There you go.
See, that's not so bad. Come on.Copy !req
497. Good, good.
Oh, that's good.Copy !req
498. Just a little blood test, pal.
You'll never miss it.Copy !req
499. They're like huge seedpods!Copy !req
500. - Having fun?
- Fun!Copy !req
501. Pretty neat, huh?Copy !req
502. Neat!Copy !req
503. Yum, yum! Yum, yum!Copy !req
504. How about shutting up
for a change, okay?Copy !req
505. I already fed you.Copy !req
506. Well, it's not 12:00 yet.Copy !req
507. All right. Keep an eye on them, Giz.
I'll be back in a second.Copy !req
508. Here we go.Copy !req
509. Now maybe you guys will be quiet.Copy !req
510. You guys are really hungry.Copy !req
511. Giz, you want some?Copy !req
512. Do you want some chicken?Copy !req
513. No?Copy !req
514. All right.Copy !req
515. Yum, yum.Copy !req
516. That's it, good buddy.
Call it a night.Copy !req
517. Can't you see?
They're after you!Copy !req
518. They're after all of us!
Our wives, our children, everyone!Copy !req
519. They're here already!
You're next!Copy !req
520. You're next!
You're next! You're next!Copy !req
521. Uh-oh.Copy !req
522. Mom?
Yeah'?Copy !req
523. Mom, could you come up here, please?Copy !req
524. Then I want you to bring
the vacuum cleaner upstairs for me.Copy !req
525. What are they?Copy !req
526. Well, they're the mogwai, I guess.Copy !req
527. Except for Gizmo.Copy !req
528. Did you get them wet?Copy !req
529. No.Copy !req
530. Did you feed them
after midnight?Copy !req
531. Well, I gave them
some chicken.Copy !req
532. But I made sure that it—Copy !req
533. No, no, no. Wait a minute.Copy !req
534. I made sure...Copy !req
535. Mom?Copy !req
536. What's going on here?Copy !req
537. Yuck!Copy !req
538. What'd you say this was called?Copy !req
539. A putrid stage?Copy !req
540. Pupal. Pupal stage.Copy !req
541. Like a butterfly.Copy !req
542. Yeah, right.Copy !req
543. This is a cocoon, and inside
he's going through changes.Copy !req
544. Lots of changes.Copy !req
545. Like my mother.Copy !req
546. No, that's different.Copy !req
547. This is called a metamorphosis.Copy !req
548. It's a change in form...Copy !req
549. and in appearance.Copy !req
550. Hello?Copy !req
551. Hello? Hi, honey!Copy !req
552. No, I'm sure it works fine.Copy !req
553. I was just out on the back porch
for a second.Copy !req
554. The convention's great.Copy !req
555. I said it's great!Copy !req
556. Actually, the competition's...Copy !req
557. Sorry, miss.Copy !req
558. The competition's a little more
advanced than I expected.Copy !req
559. I was changing my oil.
Some really neat things.Copy !req
560. Oh, Rand.Copy !req
561. You've never been so far
away on Christmas Eve before.Copy !req
562. I know it's Christmas Eve.Copy !req
563. I'll do the best I can.Copy !req
564. All right. Bye-bye.Copy !req
565. MRS.
All I could get for it was $36!Copy !req
566. If there's anything I can do...
But it's completely out of my hands.Copy !req
567. I'll be delighted—Copy !req
568. Hello, Gerald.
I'm under such terrible pressure.Copy !req
569. Why don't you just
speak to Mrs. Deagle about it?Copy !req
570. Speak to Mrs. Deagle?Copy !req
571. Mrs. Deagle!Copy !req
572. Deposit this to my account.Copy !req
573. Where's that psychotic canine?Copy !req
574. Still hiding under the counter?Copy !req
575. No, I'm afraid he's on vacation.Copy !req
576. Better keep him behind locked doors,
because if I catch him...Copy !req
577. he's in for a slow death.Copy !req
578. Here's Mr. Bird's heart.Copy !req
579. Small animals lose heat
faster than large ones.Copy !req
580. Their blood must circulate
faster to keep their bodies warm.Copy !req
581. Now, in small birds...Copy !req
582. their hearts beat
about 600 times per minute.Copy !req
583. Cats, 130.Copy !req
584. Man, about 75...Copy !req
585. and a big old elephant's heart,
only 25 a minute.Copy !req
586. Hey, doc, you
got a human heart?Copy !req
587. Has he got a human heart?
Wait till you see this! Roll 10.Copy !req
588. Okay, class.
Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.Copy !req
589. If any of you wanna bring me
a present...Copy !req
590. a cassette deck wouldn't be bad.Copy !req
591. Of course, tickets to the Super Bowl
would be very nice.Copy !req
592. Mr. Hanson, wait.
Let me just talk to you for a second.Copy !req
593. Bye.Copy !req
594. Billy...Copy !req
595. It just hatched.Copy !req
596. I'll be right there.Copy !req
597. Hey there.Copy !req
598. You remember me?Copy !req
599. Remember me, don't you?Copy !req
600. I went and got you...Copy !req
601. a candy bar.Copy !req
602. I thought you might be hungry.Copy !req
603. You hungry?Copy !req
604. You should try one of these.Copy !req
605. Hey there.Copy !req
606. Come here. Don't be afraid.
There's no reason to be afraid.Copy !req
607. Where'd you go?Copy !req
608. Where are you?
I know you're in there.Copy !req
609. I know you're under there.Copy !req
610. Come on, now.Copy !req
611. You're not still angry
about that little blood test, are you?Copy !req
612. Come on out.
Take a bite. Let me see you.Copy !req
613. I just wanna see you.Copy !req
614. You try some of this now.
I know you gotta be hungry.Copy !req
615. Yum, yum.Copy !req
616. There now. Don't you feel better?Copy !req
617. Mr. Hanson?Copy !req
618. Yum, yum.Copy !req

Where are you?Copy !req
621. Mom, they hatched.
Get out of the house.Copy !req
622. Phone home. Ca-ca!Copy !req
623. Mom? Mom!Copy !req
624. Yum, yum.Copy !req
625. Get out of my kitchen!Copy !req
626. Neat!Copy !req
627. Hey!Copy !req
628. - Are you all right?
- I think so.Copy !req
629. Mom, it's Stripe!Copy !req
630. - Should I get it?
- Yeah, go ahead and get it.Copy !req
631. Oh, I didn't mean that.Copy !req
632. Hello, Dr. Molinaro. Can we come in?Copy !req
633. My mom's had a bit of an accident.Copy !req
634. Be careful!Copy !req
635. What happened?Copy !req
636. Giz?Copy !req
637. Bright light! Bright light!Copy !req
638. Come here.Copy !req
639. They almost got you, huh?Copy !req
640. Climb in here.Copy !req
641. The question is
totally without meaning.Copy !req
642. Pardon me, sir. Stuff.Copy !req
643. Thick and heavy.Copy !req
644. Would 60 gallons be sufficient?Copy !req
645. I rarely use it myself, sir.
It promotes rust.Copy !req
646. Don't worry, Giz, we'll find him.Copy !req
647. Gremlins, huh?Copy !req
648. - Little monsters.
- Right.Copy !req
649. - Hundreds of them?
- I'm not sure. Maybe thousands.Copy !req
650. Look, I know it sounds crazy.
I know it does.Copy !req
651. But in a matter of hours,
this town's gonna be a disaster area.Copy !req
652. You've got to warn people!Copy !req
653. - You think this kid is drunk?
- No, but you are.Copy !req
654. I am not drunk!Copy !req
655. Tell me something. Where do
these little gremlins come from?Copy !req
656. All right.Copy !req
657. My father gave me one as a present.Copy !req
658. Does your father always
give you vicious little monsters?Copy !req
659. No, they don't
start out vicious at first!Copy !req
660. Of course not.Copy !req
661. They don't!
They look like this.Copy !req
662. Could you dim the lights?Copy !req
663. Sure.Copy !req
664. Go ahead, Brent.
Dim the lights.Copy !req

- You're crazy!Copy !req
678. There's a real gremlin in my cab!Copy !req
679. Hello, Anderson.
Wanna mail something, do you?Copy !req
680. Just a last-minute package, Father.Copy !req
681. Be my guest.Copy !req
682. That's strange.Copy !req
683. Patriotic little fellow, ain't he?Copy !req
684. Waving the flag and everything.Copy !req
685. Be careful, Frank!
He might tear your arm off.Copy !req
686. You want me to put the cuffs on him?Copy !req
687. Tell me. How come
a cute guy like this...Copy !req
688. can turn into
a thousand ugly monsters?Copy !req
689. You see, this is before
it enters the pupal stage.Copy !req
690. It multiplies with water.Copy !req
691. Get the kid some water.
I wouldn't do that.Copy !req
692. Sheriff's office.Copy !req

709. Because I'm the sheriff, asshole.Copy !req
710. Kopeck, you stop that, you bad kitty!Copy !req
711. Kopeck's a bad kitty.Copy !req

733. I'm not ready.Copy !req
734. I'm not ready yet.
I'm not ready!Copy !req
735. My God, Frye!Copy !req
736. That was Mrs. Deagle.Copy !req
737. Get them off! Get them off! Help me!Copy !req
738. That's Dave Myers.
He does Santa every year.Copy !req
739. What the hell is he doing now?Copy !req
740. What's that stuff he's
got all over him?Copy !req
741. Frank, I really think

749. I don't believe it.Copy !req
750. You're on with Rockin' Ricky! Go!Copy !req
751. PETE".
Hi, my name's Pete.Copy !req
752. These green guys are
running around wrecking things.Copy !req
753. DJ".
This is Christmas, not Halloween!Copy !req
754. Listen, gang.Copy !req
755. Rockin' Ricky's getting fed up
with this Orson Welles crap!Copy !req
756. What's that? Kitty, what's that?
Some of Rockin' Ricky fans?Copy !req
757. You're not a Rockin' Ricky fan!Copy !req
758. Sir, I notice that you're a smoker.Copy !req
759. I notice that you're a smoker.
I see the cigarettes.Copy !req
760. I noticed, here, this broken ashtray.Copy !req
761. It's very fortunate
that I happened to come by.Copy !req
762. Let me introduce myself. My name's
Randall Peltzer. I'm an inventor.Copy !req
763. "Fantastic Ideas for a Fantastic World."
I make the illogical logical.Copy !req
764. I have something here that I think
you might be interested in.Copy !req
765. Yes, sir, I do.Copy !req
766. This is...Copy !req
767. the Peltzer Smokeless Ashtray.Copy !req
768. I think this can solve
your problem here, sir.Copy !req
769. Please don't bite me!Copy !req
770. Wait a minute.Copy !req
771. You all right'?Copy !req
772. Let's get out of here!Copy !req
773. What's that?Copy !req
774. Don't worry. He's with me.
He's not one of them.Copy !req
775. What's wrong?
Why isn't the car starting?Copy !req
776. We're gonna have to
make a run for it, okay?Copy !req
777. One, two, three!Copy !req
778. They've been here too.Copy !req
779. What are these things?
Where do they come from?Copy !req
780. They're gremlins, Kate.Copy !req
781. Just like Mr. Futterman said.Copy !req
782. Now I have another reason
to hate Christmas.Copy !req
783. What are you talking about?Copy !req
784. The worst thing that ever
happened to me was on Christmas.Copy !req
785. Oh, God. It was so horrible.Copy !req
786. It was Christmas Eve.Copy !req
787. I was 9 years old.Copy !req
788. Me and Mom were decorating the tree...Copy !req
789. waiting for Dad
to come home from work.Copy !req
790. A couple hours went by.Copy !req
791. Dad wasn't home.Copy !req
792. So Mom called the office.
No answer.Copy !req
793. Christmas Day came and went,
and still nothing.Copy !req
794. So the police began a search.Copy !req
795. Four or five days went by.Copy !req
796. Neither one of us
could eat or sleep.Copy !req
797. Everything was falling apart.Copy !req
798. It was snowing outside.Copy !req
799. The house was freezing, so I went
to try to light up the fire.Copy !req
800. That's when I noticed the smell.Copy !req
801. The firemen came and
broke through the chimney top.Copy !req
802. And me and Mom were expecting
them to pull out a dead cat or a bird.Copy !req
803. And instead they pulled out my father.Copy !req
804. He was dressed
in a Santa Claus suit.Copy !req
805. He'd been climbing down the chimney...Copy !req
806. his arms loaded with presents.Copy !req
807. He was gonna surprise us.Copy !req
808. He slipped and broke his neck.
He died instantly.Copy !req
809. And that's how I found out
there was no Santa Claus.Copy !req
810. Don't worry about that smoke.
It'll stop. It's guaranteed.Copy !req
811. Barney, shut up!Copy !req
812. Don't start with me.
I got a long way to go.Copy !req
813. Shut up!Copy !req
814. Where did they all go?Copy !req
815. It'll be light soon.Copy !req
816. I bet they're all
together someplace dark.Copy !req
817. Mogwai!Copy !req
818. Shh, Gizmo.Copy !req
819. They're inside.Copy !req
820. All of them?Copy !req
821. Milk Duds.Copy !req
822. What are they doing?Copy !req
823. They're watching Snow White.Copy !req
824. And they love it.Copy !req
825. Where's the boiler room?Copy !req
826. It's in the back of the theater.Copy !req
827. Down there.Copy !req
828. Milk Duds.Copy !req
829. Yum, yum.Copy !req
830. Cover your mouth.

and find some kind of light switch.Copy !req
