Scenes with Gilbert 5
[After Gilbert discovers he can't even operate his car without springs, Coily appears.]
CCoily
Noooo springs! [laughs]
GGilbert
Awww, gee, Coily, I didn't realize what I was wishing. I'm sorry for everything I said. Can't we call the whole thing off? Isn't there anything I can do? Please let me take back my wish.
CCoily
[rubs chin in thought] Wellll...
CCoily
Okay! I'll do it, just this once! But next time, be careful! Don't ever make that wish again!
. . .
[With that, Coily makes all the springs reappear into existence.]
So Coily waited all eternity for this moment and he backs down almost instantly?
GGilbert
You see all spring action depends on elasticity: the ability of material to return to it's original form after it's been forced out of shape...
MAMike [as Gilbert]
...by anti-spring extremists.
[In a monologue about springs directed at his golf partners, implied by several cuts to be extremely lengthy]
GGilbert
I never realised until lately that springs have such a universal use. Why, there's springs in mousetraps, guns, exercisers, hinges, pogo sticks...
MAMike [as friend]
Guns, huh?
GGilbert
Why, I can't think of anything that doesn't involve the use of a spring in one way or another! [inexplicably looks into sky]
CACrow [as Gilbert]
Hey, look! God has a spring!
[Gilbert finally finishes lecturing his friends on springs as he pulls up to Joe's house.]
GGilbert
Hey, Joe! Wake up!
CACrow [as Gilbert]
It's Coily's army of darkness! Look!
. . .
You and your springs! I hope I never see another--
GGilbert
Stop! Don't say it! Don't ever wish anything like that as long as you live!
[Gilbert looks down to see Coily the Spring Sprite materialize on his car seat. Coily cackles.]
SAServo [as Coily]
You'll be the first to die!
