Short filmTranscript
00:00Are you out there?
00:07Huh? Are you?
00:10Spying on me? Waiting for me to let my guard down so you can steal more of my inventory?
00:17Like you stole my mom's crystal? Well forget it. It ain't gonna happen.
00:22No goks are gonna bust in here again, Ripley. Not without me knowing about it.
00:30This room is wired up tight.
00:34Who's there?
00:39Alvin Murray?
00:40Yeah.
00:42Just a sec.
00:50Door's unlocked.
00:57I'm just finishing up a little homework before packing it in.
01:00We're, uh, doing a social studies project on crime.
01:05Gotta prepare a report.
01:08Oh, that. That's from the siren.
01:11You see, the more I study crime, the more I'm worried about it.
01:15Like you always say, it's a crazy world, but you can't be too careful.
01:19I mean, we're in one of the worst areas in the cities for break-ins. Can you believe it?
01:26I've been looking at this great alarm place. Really high-tech stuff.
01:30I was hoping maybe we could get a few things. Just to be on the safe side.
01:45Alvin Murray?
01:48Gross. You shaved into my rat's cage.
01:51Can I get you something to drink with that?
01:53No.
02:00Come on, Rip. I'm not kidding. Look, Alvin Murray's possessed or something.
02:03He's locked in my room now, but he's gonna get out.
02:07Come over here quick.
02:09Leave the signal for Ziggs. I think we're gonna need her.
02:22See anything in that bowl, kid?
02:24Sure do, partner. An invincibility sphere.
02:27You know, we'll need one of those someday.
02:30But these lasers across the floor aren't exactly rolling out the welcome mat.
02:34Which suggests that invincibility is a pretty rare find.
02:38Maybe the lasers are fake. Nothing but smoke and mirrors.
02:43I don't know about mirrors, kid, but we'll get smoked if we try to cross that floor.
02:47Being rude, are they?
02:49Fine. Because I spy a door over on this wall, and I'm betting the switch to turn off the lasers is behind it.
02:59Locked. Guess what we need.
03:01A keycard hunting we go, we go! A keycard hunting we go, we go, we go!
03:07You have a truly awful singing voice, Flango.
03:10I know. Don't tell my fans.
03:12Promise. Boy, trust a gant to hide a keycard we need halfway across the keep.
03:16All to access the room you hope has a switch to turn off some lasers.
03:19Emphasis on hope, that is.
03:23What have we here?
03:24Acid pit.
03:25Can we cross it?
03:26Hey, my 8-pits analyzer function is working. It says the gas is dense enough to blow us up.
03:30Meaning we can jump?
03:31You up to it?
03:32Always.
03:33Then on three. One, two, three!
03:38Like birds on a wing.
03:40Oh, please.
03:43Nice of my analyzer to kick in like that.
03:45Yeah, it's been mostly busted since forever.
03:48Sometimes you get a little luck, Flango. And sometimes you get a lot.
03:53I think I see us a keycard straight ahead.
03:55Good nose, kid.
03:58Just spinning there waiting for us to pluck it.
04:00What do you want to bet? It's not that simple.
04:04Oh, I won't be making any bets today, thanks.
04:09A timer. That means we're about to get very busy.
04:12Let's get the keycard while there's still time.
04:16Some kind of bat. Light staff.
04:19There's too many of them, kid. The light staff won't cut it.
04:28Hey, I'm getting dive-bombed here.
04:32Ditch the light staff. Use your apron.
04:34Okay, I'm on it.
04:36Yeah, much better. Got these nasty goons on the run.
04:40Uh-oh. Apron's conked out again.
04:43You've really got to fix that thing.
04:45Tell me about it. Skedaddle time.
04:55Have we locked them yet?
04:56I don't know, and I'm not about to slow down to find out.
04:59Neither am I.
05:06I hate it we had to run from that flying riff-raff.
05:10Look on the bright side. We're still alive.
05:13Yeah, but if the timer expires on that keycard, or if Deeth gets it first...
05:18You're a barrel of laughs today.
05:20I know. Can the 8-Bits Analyzer tell us about those creatures?
05:23When in doubt, a good whack or two might fix it.
05:28There, back online.
05:30It says those things are Diabolos, flying armor detectors.
05:34They lock onto the reflection of your suit.
05:36So we need to mask our armor somehow. Maybe the acid in that pit will do it.
05:41My ears! Those little creeps activated the emergency signal!
05:45Now what?
05:47Adam, don't you think a paramedic might be a good idea?
05:50He's been body-snatched, is it obvious?
05:52Well, no. I mean, is there a history of temporary insanity in your family or something?
05:57He's got insane grip. Something's got hold of him.
06:01What's the problem, boys?
06:03Finally, you're here.
06:07You fried my eardrums for this?
06:09Mm. Guess this one didn't assimilate.
06:11This one? What's going on here?
06:13Not much. He's drinking from the toilet.
06:22Now he's gone and passed out on us.
06:25I know what you are, pal.
06:30Yep. It's a Snoovel.
06:32A what?
06:33Snoovel. A highly evolved form of parasitic root vegetable.
06:37It's not a Hargawk?
06:38Nope. Thug for hire. And the Gawks hire them all the time.
06:42Impersonations are their specialty.
06:44Doesn't look like they do humans very well.
06:46He's a spy?
06:48Right. Probably after our piece of the crystal.
06:50Get that thing out of my uncle.
06:51This isn't your uncle. This is a turnip pretending to be your uncle.
06:54He didn't find anything, did he?
06:56No. He was too busy chasing me around the house.
06:59Not what I'd call a real emergency.
07:11So long, guys.
07:13Wait.
07:14We're on a mission. The clock is ticking on it. Literally.
07:17But what about Uncle Murray? Is he still alive?
07:19Should be.
07:20In order to make the copy, the Queen Snoovel asked to use him as a host.
07:23I've got to find him.
07:24Good plan. Just look somewhere dark and humid.
07:26No. I mean we've got to find him.
07:28I need your help.
07:29I took care of Psycho Celery, didn't I?
07:31What more do you want?
07:33Nice to see you. Nicer when we don't.
07:36Now what?
07:38Find Uncle Murray.
07:42Okay. That's it. Enough's enough, Adam.
07:46We're coming up empty.
07:49Nothing.
07:51Nada.
07:53Zip.
07:55The basement's dark, but no clues there.
07:58Bathroom's humid, but I found squat.
08:02I mean, it's hard to know what to look for.
08:06What kind of clues does an evil vegetable leave behind?
08:10Leaf prints? Telltale mulch?
08:13Check this out.
08:15Dirt!
08:16Dirt! You found dirt?
08:18It's fresh dirt, anyway. It's the only fresh bit of anything we have around here.
08:22Great! Fresh dirt!
08:24Maybe it came from the Snoovel.
08:26How does that help?
08:28I don't know. But it's all we've got.
08:31Do you really think this acid will camouflage a power suit?
08:34I do.
08:35Okay, but if we stay in too long, our suits will be dissolved.
08:39What do you mean, we? I just had my armor waxed.
08:41You realize what that acid will do to my sheen?
08:44No way. Uh-uh. I'm not luring myself into that stuff.
08:47Whatever you say, partner.
08:52I've made an important discovery.
08:54And what's that?
08:56I just like it biology.
09:01Hmm.
09:07It's a little tiny...
09:09It's a little tiny mushroom.
09:11Mushroom?
09:12Yeah. And this just isn't dirt.
09:14There's all sorts of things mixed in here.
09:17Like it's compost or something.
09:20Should we go looking for it?
09:22Go looking for what?
09:24Someone who knows about growing mushrooms.
09:26Right.
09:28Gregor's Grilled O'shrooms.
09:30The Eternal's finest cultivator of organic mushrooms.
09:34It's only about 20 minutes away.
09:36Hmm. Let's go.
09:39I still don't know how I let you talk me into that.
09:43Even my scales are itchy.
09:45It's gross. Disgusting.
09:47Come on, let's get that keycard before the effects wear off.
09:50All quiet on the dive-off, right?
09:52The acid bath seems to have done the trick.
09:55Here goes.
09:56Careful.
09:59You okay, kid?
10:00Yeah. Just a bruised ego.
10:03Uh-oh, they must have heard me.
10:05Stay absolutely still, Plango.
10:07This could still work.
10:11I'm making a dash for it.
10:15Gotcha.
10:16We're done here.
10:18Not a moment too soon.
10:19I need a rinse.
10:22Sphagnum peat.
10:23Cotton seed.
10:26Soybean meal.
10:28Gypsum and lime.
10:30Nice, nice.
10:33Horse manure.
10:38She's a witch.
10:39She's a disgrace to the profession.
10:41What?
10:42Peanut butter.
10:43In compost.
10:44She calls it her secret ingredient.
10:46Secret ingredient.
10:48Why not put tuna in there?
10:50Macaroni and cheese?
10:51Marshmallows?
10:52You know why? I'll tell you why.
10:54Because they don't make mushrooms grow.
10:56That's why.
10:57Who, uh, who are you talking about?
11:00Finkel.
11:01Esther Finkel.
11:02Finkel's famous fungus?
11:03You know what I think?
11:05I think she's got fungus in her brain.
11:07I think it's made her loopy.
11:08Yeah.
11:10In fact, she might be dangerous.
11:12Well, thanks for all your help, sir.
11:14Uh, now I have to go.
11:16Bye.
11:18I should report her to the board, is what I should do.
11:22I never discuss my growing methods.
11:24Most people simply aren't progressive enough to understand them.
11:28Really, because we're growing mushrooms in science class,
11:31and we're putting all sorts of radical things in our compost.
11:34Yeah, in fact, one of the best things we've tried so far is peanut butter.
11:38The shrooms love it.
11:39Clever boys.
11:42Lovely boys.
11:44Gaze upon the trenches of damp earth, of fecund soil.
11:50Know that within you, there is life, there is purpose,
11:55there is even revelation.
11:59Uh, right on, Mrs. Finkel.
12:02That's special.
12:04Sometimes, late at night, I find myself drawn here just to be.
12:10I lie atop some soil and I listen to them.
12:15To the mushrooms?
12:18Their wisdom is subtle, but profound.
12:21A mushroom may grow in the dark, but it brings with it the light.
12:27For sure.
12:39I don't add peanut butter to all my compost.
12:42Only that which feeds this most delicious of the prized Rasula species.
12:50Mushrooms have different needs, different speeds.
12:53They respond to different encouragement and different punishments.
12:59Don't bother. I'll have to get that.
13:02Enjoy your company.
13:08Gawk?
13:09No way. She's too weird to be an alien.
13:12What about the noise behind this door?
13:16It's Uncle Murray.
13:17Adam, it might not be...
13:21Oh, this stinks.
13:25It seems to be some sort of chute.
13:28Triskunky.
13:29Wait, were we stepped up there?
13:31I don't know.
13:34What's this?
13:42It's... it's... manure.
13:45Fresh, wet manure.
13:46Fresh, wet, rank manure.
13:48No! What are you doing?
13:51We heard a voice. A groan.
13:53Not a groan. That was the sound of the mahogany paddle stirring the elixir.
13:58Blending the compost to feed my beauty.
14:02You've ruined the batch.
14:08It's not the lowest water we've ever had.
14:10Nope.
14:11Sorry for getting you into this.
14:13Don't be. We're partners.
14:15We share all the good times and, you know, the gross and stinky times.
14:20We're still not any closer to finding Uncle Murray, though.
14:22That or not.
14:24Hey, who's that?
14:27Uncle Murray! You're back!
14:29Are you all right? How did you escape?
14:31Oh, Adam. Am I glad to see you.
14:34It was terrible. I, uh... I...
14:37Oh, no. No. No, make it stop!
14:40No, make it go away!
14:42Uncle Murray, stop!
14:43Where's he going?
14:44Come on. I'm not going to lose him again.
14:46Hey, Uncle Murray! Wait!
14:48Uncle Murray! Wait! Stop!
14:50Stop!
14:52I didn't know he could run so fast.
14:53For so long.
14:56Hurry!
14:57Uncle Murray!
15:00There's our invincibility spear.
15:01Time to liberate it.
15:04Hey, I never said this keycard would work.
15:06I only said I hope it works.
15:08Anyway, here goes nothing.
15:11Yes!
15:12You're aces, kid.
15:14Big space. Guess I'll get busy scanning.
15:17It's going thermal now.
15:19Okay, Flango, if you were a Ganth,
15:21where would you hide a switch to turn off those lasers in the next room?
15:24If I were a Ganth, I wouldn't have this job.
15:26Hold it. Infragreen shows glowing Ganthian text on that shield.
15:31That sound says we found our switch.
15:33Maybe. That sound also says that we're under attack.
15:36What?
15:37So what else is new?
15:46You wouldn't be headed for the keep, would he?
15:48He doesn't even know where it exists.
16:08Oh, creepy crawlies everywhere.
16:10Yes. Righteous targeting, kid.
16:12You're making spider soup out of those suckers.
16:17There. Last one.
16:19Let's see if that's turned off the lasers.
16:21I'd hate to hunt for another switch.
16:24Worked like a charm.
16:25A diabol-riddled spider-infested charm, but a charm all the same.
16:29I don't know what you're talking about, kid.
16:31I don't know what you're talking about.
16:33I don't know what you're talking about, kid.
16:35A diabol-riddled spider-infested charm, but a charm all the same.
16:39Just another day at the office, right, Flango?
16:41You got it, Zyx.
16:48Come to me, invincibility.
16:51Mission accomplished.
16:59Akamori, no! Don't!
17:02Gotta get him out of there.
17:06Akamori!
17:14Uncle Murray, stop! It's dangerous in here!
17:19Something's not right, Adam.
17:20If you didn't tell Murray about the key, then I didn't, then how'd he get here?
17:24Don't know. We'll ask him after we rescue him.
17:26Old guy won't last long in here.
17:28You've got a really bad feeling.
17:32He stopped.
17:33Listen, I think I heard him.
17:35I didn't hear anything.
17:37Uncle Murray?
17:42Why'd you run? We want to help.
17:45Help me.
17:46I will, just take it easy.
17:48You're in shock or something.
17:50Shocking.
17:52Mr. Frake, how did you know about the key?
17:55Because it's something that no one knows about except a few good guys,
17:58like us, and several bad guys.
18:01Like you!
18:04Whoa!
18:06Adam, I don't know if my light's dashing that way.
18:09What's in your inventory?
18:11Got that wand thing we found the other day.
18:15Figure out how to use it?
18:17Not really.
18:18Could you please?
18:23Come on, do something already.
18:26Adam, I need some help here!
18:29Ah!
18:32Wait a minute, the handle rotates!
18:35All right!
18:36Yes!
18:37That was some mighty fine vegetable wrestling, fellas.
18:40See, you can take care of yourselves without us.
18:43Did you find your uncle yet?
18:44Not yet.
18:45So what are you hanging around here for?
18:59You should have known that thing couldn't have been your uncle.
19:01Snoogles can make any number of copies from their host,
19:03but the host itself must stay in a humid locale with the Queen.
19:06That was just a lug nut sent to fool you.
19:08And gee, guess what? He did!
19:10Big surprise.
19:11How was I supposed to know?
19:12I never even heard of a Snoogle to one Xerox my uncle.
19:15You might try giving us a bit more information next time.
19:18I never thought of that.
19:21I just don't want you guys getting too involved in things.
19:23Involved?
19:25We're like totally involved.
19:27We're gonna pass the eyeballs.
19:29It was my uncle who got Snoogle snatched.
19:31You know you can trust us, don't you?
19:38You guys did good in there.
19:40Real good.
19:45Six, I'll sing to you if you don't ditch these monkeys now.
19:52This one here?
19:53Yeah.
19:57What are you doing?
19:59Murderer!
20:06Oh, my goodness.
20:10He's dying. Can you get up?
20:12The lady of the house.
20:14The Queen Snoogle.
20:15But here's the thing, Mama.
20:17I'm Snoogle removal.
20:20I'll take mine. Medium rare.
20:26Mushroom farm. Makes sense.
20:28It's a perfect environment.
20:30Perfect for?
20:31Storage.
20:35Soak a murray.
20:37The real one this time.
20:44I'll take this one.
20:47You said dark and humid. You were serious.
20:49I'm always serious.
20:51When I'm serious.
20:54Come on, big fella.
20:56Let's get you defunctified.
21:00Come on, Uncle Murray.
21:02Let's go home.
21:03Home?
21:04Sure, yeah.
21:05What's home?
21:07Where am I?
21:17Mmm, creamy. Good.
21:19I like it.
21:21Look out.
21:22There's an awesome monster coming around the corner.
21:24Use your axiom.
21:25I know, I know.
21:26Don't worry.
21:27Murray won't remember a thing.
21:29But he might get a little twitchy if he gets too near a salad bar.
21:32Leave the broccoli off his plate for a couple of weeks.
21:35Will do.
21:37What's that?
21:38Inventory.
21:39Inventory.
21:40Inventory.
21:41Inventory.
21:42Inventory.
21:43Inventory.
21:44Inventory.
21:45What's that?
21:46Invincibility spear.
21:47From the keep.
21:48Cool.
21:50You know, I love the security,
21:52but I think with Snoovels lurking around,
21:54it might be time we found a new hiding place for the inventory.
21:56We?
21:57We.
21:58As in the team.
21:59We're a team?
22:00Last I heard.
22:01That's it. I'm singing.
22:04We got a place.
22:05It's a hideout.
22:06It's totally safe.
22:07How about warm and dry?
22:09That too.
22:10Beats the place I'm staying.
22:11Which is...
22:12Cold and wet.
22:13Among other things.
22:14You can stay there if you want.
22:16For as long as you want.
22:18Sweet.
22:19Very sweet.
22:20Thanks.
22:21You're welcome.
22:22I'm drowning in barf back here.
