Scenes with Tummi Gummi 19
ADAngelo Davini
My cage traps! More animals for my collection.
[Gummis have been captured and are suspended in hanging cages]
TummiPretty bells.
[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.
Tummi
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.
[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!
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]
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!
I would flatten that Unwin into a pie crust!
Tummi
Pie crust, yum!
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.
[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.
Tummi
[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?
[derisive] Then nothing. Humans stayed human, so the Great Gummis never came back.
How were the Gummi Glen Gummis supposed to tell the others they could return?
The ancients built some kind of great machine that could send messages across the ocean.
But it's safe now, right?
[Gruffi makes an annoyed grunt]
Just think, if the bears returned, I would have someone to play with!
[Gummis imagine Gummi Glen during the time before the Great Gummi Exodus, with flags, banners and many Gummis. Sunni is elegantly dressed as several male Gummis look in admiration.]
And I'd be a great Gummi warrior!
And I'd be a Gummi princess.
[Zummi is surrounded by the Great Gummis]
And I would learn from the great Gummi wizards.
[Zummi casts spell making Gummi magicians float in air while Grammi brings out cake]
And there would finally be Gummis around who appreciate my cooking.
Tummi
I appreciate it!
[Fantasy turns to reality as the Gummis then hear echos; the acoustics reminding them of the sparsely populated warren]
And we would not be alone any more.
Let's signal them to come back!
It is a lovely idea, sweetheart, but we've never been able to find the signal machine.
Oh my, oh my! It would be wonderful though.
[Gummi Bears take quickcar to Mount Sentinel]
Well, it looks like Cavin guessed right.
[reluctant] I think this machine is dangerous and we should leave it be!
[Gummis enter a room with the Gummi Scope, a gigantic machine]
Tummi
Wow, the Great Gummis never did anything small, did they? [Tummi examines lever] Since we are underground, maybe this makes it go overground!
No, no, no! If we raise this scope, Duke Igthorn could find it.
But making contact with the Great Gummis is worth the risk.
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!
You're right. [pulls the lever himself]
[Zummi presents Chummi with a letter]
Chummi, when you arrive in New Gumbrea, would you please give this to the Great Gummis?
It is a message telling the Gummis that we still are here in Gummi Glen.
But it has been so long. We want them to come back!
Chummi tears up letter
Ha! I can do better than that! Instead of bringing the Gummis to you, I will take you with me!
My goodness! We will finally be able to meet all our Gummi cousins!
Tummi
Think of the pastries.
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?
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!
That does not matter. It is my job and I am not leaving until it is completed.
Tummi
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!
Tummi
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.
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!
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]
Bah! That Crimson Avenger nonsense is keeping you awake at night!
[Cubbi comes to full alert]
[nervous] What?! How did you find out?!
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]
This crimson clown knows the forest too well. He is a threat to Gummi security!
[Gruffi bangs his fist on the table]
Tummi
But he protects people in trouble.
Hero schmero! Gummis, not humans, defend Gummis. Just remember that.
EErwillian
You want the strong box? Take it!
[Erwillian props safe of Cubbi. The combined weight causes him to fall. Fortunately for Cubbi, a man sticks his head out the window to see all the noise. Cubbi bounces off man to rebound, thus knocking Erwillian off perch. King Gregor and the castle soldiers, as well as Dunwynians witness the fight]
I thought Calla was locked up in her room.
But she is, Your Highness. We have her room guarded.
Then, that is the real Crimson Avenger.
EErwillian
Please to help me, Mr. Crimson Avenger, please!
OK, but you help me first. Confess!
EErwillian
OK, I admit it, I stole the king's ruby.
[Cubbi shakes rope holding Erwillian]
EErwillian
[shouting] OK! I admit it! I STOLE THE RUBY AND FRAMED THE BOY! Now, will you please get me down from here?
Hang on, because you are going for a ride!
[Cubbi severs rope, which causes Erwillian to propel into castle treasury and run headfirst into the pulley. Cuckoo noises are heard as soldiers arrest an unconscious Erwillian]
Calla and Cavin were innocent all along. What a relief! [laughing joyously] Thank you, Crimson Avenger, thank you!
DSDunwynian subjects
[in unison] Thank you, Crimson Avenger!
No problem! And remember, wherever there are wrongs to right, the Crimson Avenger will always be there to stand for truth, justice and the Dunwynian way!
[Cubbi bounces off spires of Dunwyn Castle to head home]
Who was that mysterious masked man?
I'm sure I don't know, sire. But I do know this; he certainly is a snappy dresser.
[King Gregor and Sir Tuxford nod in agreement; scene fades out to Gummi Glen, where Cubbi is telling a bedridden Tummi of his victory over the enemy]
Tummi
So, you clotheslined the villian?
Yeah! You should have seen it, Tummi, he sure was mad!
Tummi
Well, I am happy that is all over with.
Tummi
Now you can go back to being good old Cubbi.
You are right, Tummi. But you never know when danger may strike again!
[Tummi groans]
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.
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.
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]
Look, back home whenever there is an emergency, I always solve the problem. Is that not right, Tummi?
Tummi
Right.
Gruffamundo, we are trapped, but we are safe. There is no emergency.
This island is falling apart! Why cannot you see that?!
It's my hat, isn't it? You don't like it.
[Gruffi departs in frustration]
[Gusto is carving a dragon statue out of a volcano side, similar to Mount Rushmore]
Is Gruffi always this pushy?
Tummi
Gruffi takes his bossiness really seriously. But he is a great guy once you get you get to know him.
I know, it is just I wish I did not rub him the wrong way.
Tummi
Besides, Grammi usually keeps him in line at home.
[sighing, depressed tone] Home. Boy, it sure has been a long time.
[resumed cheerful tone] Right!
Gusto is moved to the right
You may not believe it, Tummi, but art involves a lot of pain... and suffering!
[Tummi is shown carrying Gusto on his shoulders]
Tummi
I believe it, I believe it.
[Volcano is rumbling]
Gruffi, boy have we got an emergency for you!
If you had helped us, we could have been gone by now!
Tummi
Gruffi, I want to go home!
Sorry kid, but we wasted our only chance.
But that bridge was not our only chance! The only chance is we have to get the boat over the waterfalls, am I right?
Lose the bridge! How about... [Gusto puts a stone in a tree branch, then releases it] ...SPROING!
No tools, no catapults neither!
Come on Gruff, think outside the box. Be inspired, be cra-z-z-y!
[Volcano rumbles again]
That mountain is going to kill us!
[Gruffi, Gusto and Tummi have placed boat in dragon's mouth. Volcano is due to burst and send the boat flying.]
[Artie flies to open the trap door.]
[Lava pours in and reacts with the water, creating a cloud of steam.]
[The boat rockets out of the dragon's mouth and flies over the waterfalls...]
[...and splashes down safely.]
Tummi
Whoa, that little boat can fly!
[His dragon statue emits lava, just like a dragon breathing fire.]
[Gusto's face falls.]
[All three Gummis grab a paddle and row vigorously, getting the boat to calmer waters.]
[Sunset, Gummis are navigating their way home.]
This boat gave us nothing but trouble.
Tummi
Come on Gruffi, admit it, our adventure was a success. We took an eensy-weensy little trip and came back with a Gummi Bear.
[Gruffi realizes Gusto will probably become a member of Gummi Glen.]
[Gusto looks off into the horizon.]
Tummi
Poor Gusto, he sure has been quiet since he lost his life's work.
Don't jinx it! Maybe he'll stay silent for the rest of the trip.
[Short silence.]
I got it! I can make a giant seascape painting! I can use the sail, as a canvas!
[talking to himself] Man, this place is so boring.
[Tummi enters room with hunk of wood]
Hey Tummi, what are you doing?
Tummi
Zummi says that in order to do Gummi magic I need a Gummi medallion, so I am making my own.
Oh, Zummi meant to say you needed a medallion of the ancient Gummis...
Tummi
What?
[An idea for fun dawns on Cubbi, but he needs to stall Tummi]
...er, um...a medallion that the ancient Gummis would be proud of. So take your time and do it right.
