[Gruffi's bedroom. Alarm clock rings. Gruffi rises from bed then begins his disciplined regimen in the comfortable surroundings of Gummi Glen]
[exercising] One, two. One, two.
[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.
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.
[talking to himself] Bear's fur! This looks like a job for an organized mind.
[Gruffi confiscates flute from Sunni]
[Gruffi confiscates teakettle from Cubbi, sitting Cubbi in a chair and placing teakettle atop stove]
Cubbi, steam is dangerous.
[Gruffi takes a plate of toast off table and hands it to Zummi]
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.
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]
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]
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?
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?
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.
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]
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!
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!
[Pyroclastics propel from mountain]
[Gummi Bears takes cover as one pyroclastic rock lands in lagoon, then is cooled, creating a lot of steam]
[inspired] That is it! Steam! Gusto, you maniac! You're absolutely right!
[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.]
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.
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.]
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!
