Scenes with Gruffi Gummi 22
ADAngelo Davini
My cage traps! More animals for my collection.
[Gummis have been captured and are suspended in hanging cages]
[Angelo Davini approaches and is surprised to see he has caught Gummis]
ADAngelo Davini
Talking bears? But that means..you are Gummi Bears? But I thought they were only fairy tales.
Oh no, no, no. We are not Bummi Gears, I mean Gummi Bears.
We, are, uh, dressed like Gummi Bears on our way to a costume party!
ADAngelo Davini
Do not try to con a con artist! You are Gummi Bears! You should all be honored to meet me. I am an artist, and I am going to immortalize you in stone.
Oooh! I always wanted to be immortalized.
[Angelo Davini throws petrifying powder on Gummis, which transforms them into statues. Grammi and Gruffi have gone on separate searches for the others]
[talking to herself] Ooh, I am going to fix his wagon!
ADAngelo Davini
[talking to himself] Gummi Bear statues will bring me a fortune.
Gruffi[talking to himself] I will teach him to mess with Gummi Bears!
[Grammi attempts to attack Angelo Davini the same time Gruffi attempts a Tarzan-style attack. Angelo Davini bends over, causing Grammi and Gruffi to collide with each other]
GGGrammi & Gruffi
[in unison] OOF!
Gruffi
Hey, what is the big idea?
Me? I almost had him when you..
[Bickering continues as Grammi and Gruffi hide in Angelo Davini's wagon, which is now headed towards Castle Dunwyn]
[Grammi and Gruffi are repairing a broken tablet, which contains a spell that can change the other Gummis back to normal. They are bickering over it the same way they bickered over a jigsaw puzzle earlier]
You put in the first piece, so I get to put in the last one.
Gruffi
Yeah, but I found the tablet.
Why can you not be big about this?
Gruffi
Is that another short joke?
This is no time to argue. Your friends need you!
[Gruffi is taken aback that he is reminded of his leadership role in Gummi Glen, much less by a human. Gruffi then behaves like a gentleman towards Grammi and allows her to repair tablet]
Gruffi
After you.
Unwin embarrassed me in front of the princess. He said I am too small and weak to be a knight. And the worst part is, he is right.
Nonsense. That is Unwin is just a big bag of wind!
Well, I think Cavin ought to ignore that brute.
No, you need to bash and smash!
Gruffi
Do not waste your time!
I would flatten that Unwin into a pie crust!
STOP! Everyone! Gummis, we are all nobles and no peasants. We are not being helpful by bickering. Now, does anyone have a practical solution to Cavin's problem?
[Gummi Bears stare into space]
How about Gummiberry juice?
Yeah! Just drink your Gummiberry juice and POW!
No, no Cubbi and Cavin! Gummiberry juice is only for emergencies, not for selfish activities like bopping bullies. To become a real knight, you must train, practice and study.
[Cavin still does not seem inspiried by Zummi's sage advice. Other Gummis save for Cubbi depart]
Maybe there is an answer in the Great Book.
Gruffi
Remember, the fish is quick, so in order to catch it, you need to be quicker.
[Grammi appears]
Here Cubbi, I brought you some lunch.
Gruffi
Why do you think we are out here? I am trying to teach the kid how to survive in the forest!
That is how I knew he would be hungry.
[Gummi Bears were able to rescue Grammi from getting kidnapped. Grammi is in the living room recovering from her ordeal]
Gruffi
Who knows what would have happened had the ogres captured you? You are important to us.
[sweetly] Aw, you really mean that?
Gruffi
Of course. Who else will make our Gummiberry juice?
[Grammi hurls seat cushion at Gruffi]
[annoyed] Thanks for the concern, muttonhead! [calm] But actually, you are right. The time has come for me to share the recipe with someone else.
Gruffi
Do not look at me. I do not know a ladle from a teaspoon. Cubbi is too young, Zummi would get it all backwards, and Tummi?
Tummi would wolf down the ingredients before I even got started. That only leaves Sunni.
Gruffi
Naw, too flighty. And lately, no respect for Gummi traditions.
Nonsense. Sunni is a fine young woman who respects the old values.
[Sunni enters living room]
Presenting, the new Sunni!
[Sunni reveals she has dyed her hair pink, shocking Grammi and Gruffi]
[Great Gummi Exodus. Hundreds of Gummi Bears are running screaming.]
[Warren is shown being subject to arson and huge plumes of smoke are rising.]
GOGummi Old Man
Run! Run for your lives.
[Gummi soldiers aid civilians in getting them on board Gummarines, large naval vessels. As Gummarines set sail, Gummi Bears look despondent to see their homes destroyed. A Gummi boy and girl look in shock as scene fades to 500 years later. Faces of Gummi boy and girl are replaced with equally shocked faces of Sunni and Cubbi.]
So the Ancient Gummies sailed away across the sea; safe from the jealous humans who would steal our secrets and destroy our great culture.
[depressed] I hate sad endings.
Tummi blows his nose with a shawl Grammi has been knitting, obviously annoying her
How come our ancestors did not go with them?
Well Cubbi, a small tribe elected to stay behind. Their mission was to preserve Gummi Glen and to signal the others when it was safe to return home.
[excited] Really?! Then what?
Gruffi
[derisive] Then nothing. Humans stayed human, so the Great Gummis never came back.
[Gummi Bears take quickcar to Mount Sentinel]
Well, it looks like Cavin guessed right.
Gruffi
[reluctant] I think this machine is dangerous and we should leave it be!
[Gummis enter a room with the Gummi Scope, a gigantic machine]
Wow, the Great Gummis never did anything small, did they? [Tummi examines lever] Since we are underground, maybe this makes it go overground!
Gruffi
No, no, no! If we raise this scope, Duke Igthorn could find it.
But making contact with the Great Gummis is worth the risk.
Gruffi
We need to give this more thought. We cannot act now. It is not the Gummi way!
But Gruffi, hold on! Our ancestors stayed behind so this very job could get done. Now it is incumbent upon us to follow through. This is the Gummi way!
Gruffi
You're right. [pulls the lever himself]
[Dunwyn has been plagued by troll attacks. Cavin is caught in a net and is a likely prisoner of the trolls]
[nervously] Here they come...
[Rustling in bushes, but the Gummi Bears emerge armed with blunt objects]
I am sorry you got caught in one of our traps, Cavin. But those trolls were a serious problem for us the last time they were sighted in the forest.
That is what I came to talk to you about.
Gruffi
Look Cavin, you are a good kid. But this Dunwyn mess is too dangerous for us to involve ourselves.
I am not asking for the king! My grandfather is on that coach.
Gruffi
Sorry Cavin, it is way too risky.
But you owe Gramps your help.
It was my grandfather Gawain who found your great Medallion.
[Scene flashes back many years ago. Gawain is a little boy who bears a striking resemblance to Cavin]
[narrator] One day, when he was about my age, Gramps was doing some exploring in the Northern Mountains.
[narrator] That is close to Ursalia.
[narrator] True. At any rate, he must have startled something or someone, because a shadowy figure bounced away.
[Silouhetted Gummi Bear bounces off into distance]
[narrator] To which it dropped...a Gummi Medallion!
[Gawain claims it for himself]
[narrator] From that day forward, Grandfather believed in Gummi Bears.
[Scene forwards to Gawain as a strong, handsome knight wearing the Gummi Medallion]
[narrator] When he was a knight, he always felt the Gummi Medallion brought him luck and success.
[Scene forwards to Gawain now retired with Cavin]
[narrator] When I went off to be a page, he gave the Medallion to me in the hopes I would share in the same good fortune he did.
[Scene returns to present day]
Without that Medallion, the Great Book would stay sealed.
No access to the Great Book means no magic.
Goodbye sink. Goodbye cutting board.
[Hammering sounds are heard in pantry. Gummis see Gruffi fixing the floor]
Gruffi? What in the world are you doing?
Gruffi
I do not want other Gummis who come here next to think we did not take good care of this place.
But we are leaving in several hours!
Gruffi
That does not matter. It is my job and I am not leaving until it is completed.
Now that you mention it, who will harvest the Gummiberry bushes?
Um, I really should return Calla's scarf.
Come to think of it, how will we make sure that the weeds do not gain a foothold in the warren?
Gummis! Do you know what we are really saying? We do not want to go to New Gumbrea!
Yes, but what will we tell Chummi?
[Chummi overheard everything and enters kitchen]
You do not have to. I made the offer to you, not vice versa.
Gruffi
You see Chummi, our ancestors' responsibility was to take care of this place until the Gummis could return. Now we have inherited this duty.
It is an important mission Gruffi, and I understand.
What?! You are all backing out? No fair!
I want to leave! I just have to be a knight and over there is the only place to do it!
Gruffi
Not by yourself, kid. It is too dangerous.
It may not be my place to say anything, but I can understand what Cubbi is going through. Like him, I was the youngest Gummi in my warren. And when I grew up, it also made me the last Gummi. That is not much of a future.
[Cubbi's moonlighting as the Crimson Avenger has taken a toll on him. Not even the Gummi Glen Gummies know of his heroic work, as it is doubtful they would approve of him helping humans]
Cubbi dear, are you all right? You look a little peaked.
[weak from lack of sleep] No, I am fine.
[Cubbi's head drops and lands face first in his breakfast]
Gruffi
Bah! That Crimson Avenger nonsense is keeping you awake at night!
[Cubbi comes to full alert]
[nervous] What?! How did you find out?!
Gruffi
Simple. Look how excited you get when someone mentions his name. You probably stay up all hours of the dawn pretending you are him.
[Cubbi silently breathes a sigh of relief]
Gruffi
This crimson clown knows the forest too well. He is a threat to Gummi security!
[Gruffi bangs his fist on the table]
But he protects people in trouble.
Gruffi
Hero schmero! Gummis, not humans, defend Gummis. Just remember that.
Gruffi
If it is not too much trouble, would someone please pass me the milk?
[Gruffi rolls eyes]
[Milk pitcher floats above table, amazing all the Gummis, except Gruffi who cannot reach the floating pitcher]
Gruffi
Very cute.
Sorry about that. M-milk pmout dmown!
[Milk pours on Gruffi instead of in his glass. Cubbi and Sunni giggle while Tummi looks in surprise. Gruffi is obviously annoyed]
Gruffi
I make a simple request, and you have to put on a magic show!
Gruffi is right, Zummi. Lately you use a spell to do everything.
But magic lets me do my part around here. Why, since the medallion opened the Great Book, magic has become my life!
Gruffi
Then it is a pretty sad life.
Gruffi
Well, it is true. You could not do serious magic if your life depended on it. Face it, compared to the ancient Gummis, you are a rank amateur.
[enraged] Amateur, am I? Well, I will show you!
[While other Gummis are getting ready for bedtime, Gruffi is walking by Zummi's study. A momentary sight causes him to look twice]
Gruffi
[talking to himself] Holy bear claws!
[Astonished Gruffi enters room to see Zummi juggling a dozen objects in the air in the manner of an orchestra conductor]
Gruffi
I must be seeing things!
Hello Gruffi. I have been working all day on a new batch of advanced magic spells. What do you think?
[Zummi breaks spell; causing objects to drop. Gruffi catches a marble bust]
Gruffi
Better work on your landings. Something could go wrong, very wrong.
Nonsense! It says right here in the Great Book that no Gummi magic can ever harm a Gummi Bear. Watch this one! Rummap fromound domone Gruffi!
[Gruffi is walking then gets knocked over by an invisible force which gains visibility only when Gruffi touches force]
Gruffi
All right Zummi, what did you do?
I trapped you in jail with a locking spell!
Gruffi
Locking spell??
Yes, an invisible prison, but for only one man. [Zummi enters prison dome] You cannot get out, but I can.
Gruffi
We will see about that!
[Gruffi tackles Zummi in order to breach prison. The walls open for Zummi but trap Gruffi. Zummi dances around prison dome while Gruffi places hand against walls]
You see, I am not an amateur! I know powerful spells like the Great Gummis.
Gruffi
[sarcastic] Fine, way to go pro! Whoopdy doo, you are a skilled magician.
Gruffi
[serious] Now, would you mind getting me out of this thing?
Oh, right, sorry! Fromee dumone Gruffi!
[Prison disappears, as does what Gruffi is leaning on]
Gruffi
WHOA! Gruffi falls
[chuckling] Good night, Gruffi!
[Gruffi exits study]
Gruffi
[muttering about Zummi] Darn fool, causing more trouble than he's worth. All a guy wants is some peace and quiet when...
[Loud crash is heard and destruction of study]
[Loud noises alert all of Gummi Glen. Except for Gruffi, all Gummis are wearing bedclothes. They all enter study looking shocked]
And so is the Great Book!
[Gruffi, Grammi and Zummi approach Zorlok's subterranean prison, which is surrounded by a moat of lava. They are surprised to see a giant statue of a Gummi soldier so deep beneath the Earth]
[Zummi studies base of statue]
It is an ancient Gummi warning.
All Gummi bears are forbidden to cross this bridge.
[Gruffi and Grammi shudder in fear]
The ancients wrapped a tizard here, uh, I mean trapped a wizard here.
What did he do to deserve that?
Some very horrible things to oppress people. He also tried to steal the Great Book.
Gruffi
He is not going anywhere, Zummi. Without your Gummi medallion the Book is worthless to him.
Amateur or not, I lost the Book, so it is my responsibility to get it back.
[Zummi crosses bridge]
Zummi, no! It is too dangerous!
[Monster emerges from passageway and abducts Zummi]
[Gruffi and Grammi start to cross bridge but monster stomps its feet, causing the bridge to collapse into the lava]
Gruffi
Do not worry, Zummi. We will save you!
[Gruffi's bedroom. Alarm clock rings. Gruffi rises from bed then begins his disciplined regimen in the comfortable surroundings of Gummi Glen]
Gruffi
[exercising] One, two. One, two.
Gruffi
[brushing teeth] One, two, three, four, five, six.
Gruffi straightens an askew picture embroidered with the Gummi seal and a statement
EEmbroidery
Live Each Day the Gummi Way.
Gruffi
That is the key to an orderly life.
[Gruffi enters kitchen, but sees a state of disarray with the others. Sunni is playing the flute while Cubbi is banging a cork into a teakettle]
I have waited a half hour for my toast.
Now, where did I put that miserable pan?
Sunni, leave Grammi alone so she can make breakfast. You all think I am getting fat, like Tummi. Well I am not, these are love handles.
Gruffi
[talking to himself] Bear's fur! This looks like a job for an organized mind.
[Gruffi confiscates flute from Sunni]
Gruffi
Sunni, later.
[Gruffi confiscates teakettle from Cubbi, sitting Cubbi in a chair and placing teakettle atop stove]
Gruffi
Cubbi, steam is dangerous.
[Gruffi takes a plate of toast off table and hands it to Zummi]
Gruffi
Here Zummi, eat. Is that the pan you want, Grammi?
[Gruffi points out pan in sink]
Uh, why, yes. Thank you for sorting it out.
Gruffi
It was simple. I am an orderly person. By the way, anyone seen where Tummi has gone with my tools?
I do not know. Lately he has been sneaking off somewhere.
[No one notices teakettle is boiling and steam is building up]
Gruffi
Well, I am going to find him. I do not want my tools to come to any..
[Teakettle boils and the steam causes the cork to fly off, hitting Gruffi in the rear]
Gruffi
...OOOF!...harm.
Gruffi
I have studied this carefully, and a bridge is the only way to get off this gumforsaken rock.
That will not work. You see, when the beach collapsed a dozen years ago, I tried building a bridge myself. Gruffi, it no reach.
Gruffi
No offense pal, but after seeing your scaffolding, I can understand why. Let me tear it down and build you a great bridge.
Whoa, whoa! Hold it, I need that bamboo to finish my masterpiece.
Gruffi
Gusto, what is more important? Finishing your dragon or getting off the island?
I know the answer to this question, let me think.
[Gruffi gives annoyed look]
Gruffi
Look, back home whenever there is an emergency, I always solve the problem. Is that not right, Tummi?
Gruffamundo, we are trapped, but we are safe. There is no emergency.
Gruffi
This island is falling apart! Why cannot you see that?!
It's my hat, isn't it? You don't like it.
Gruffi
AARGH!
[Gruffi departs in frustration]
