03x05 - My Mother the Psychic

[bunniefuu]

"Life is like
a hurricane"

"Here in duckburg"

"Race cars, lasers,
aeroplanes"

"It's a duck blur"

"Might solve a mystery"

"Or rewrite history"

"Duck tales"

"Ooh ooh ooh"

"Every day they're out there
making duck tales"

"Ooh ooh ooh"

"Tales of derring-do"

"Bad and good
luck tales"

"D-d-d-danger"

"Watch behind you"

"There's a stranger
out to find you"

"What to do? Just grab
onto some duck tales"

"Ooh ooh ooh"

"Every day they're out there
making duck tales"

"Ooh ooh ooh"

"Tales of derring-do"

"Bad and good
luck tales"

"Ooh ooh ooh"

"Not ponytails"

"Or cottontails"

"No, duck tales"

"Ooh ooh ooh"

and now we return

to another chapter
of all my ducklings.

so, doctor,
what's the verdict?

i'm afraid
- the tests are conclusive.

you have three hours
left to live.

maybe four.

no!

it can't be!

i'm too young!

i'm too beautiful!

i'm too rich!

no! No!

erica! Erica!

no! No!

erica!

aah!

no!

thanks. I needed that.

Everything's packed
for our picnic,

Including lots
of quacker jacks.

You love those surprise
doodads inside.

Hush, fenton. all
my ducklings is on.

We're supposed to spend
the afternoon together.

I can't miss
my favorite show.

Mama, every show is
your favorite show.

Oh, no.

I have to watch the young
and the featherless.

[Knock, knock]

Those soaps mean
more to you than I do.

Take care
of these bills.

But I was
going out with mama.

I hate
when this happens.

Her heart
was set on it.

No. The tv.

Maybe if I turn this...

Waah!

Mama!

Are you all right?

Oh, fenton,
it was terrible.

My whole life passed
before my eyes,

Even the reruns.

You'll be fine.

Your perm
might be crispy.

Isn't anybody
going to get that?

Get what?

The phone.

[Ring]

Hmm. Interesting.

Who is it?

Probably
a wrong number.

Hello.

Uh, sorry.
Wrong number.

Mama!
How did you know?

I'm not sure.

It's like this tv
is in my head

That's showing
previews.

Hmm.
I've heard of cases

Where bad shocks
make people psychic.

Try your psychic ability
to predict something else,

Something
less coincidental.

I don't see anything yet.

The reception's fuzzy.

Aha. There. It's clearing.

I'm getting a picture.

Oh, my gosh.

I suddenly see fenton
hanging from the ceiling.

How is that
supposed to happen?

Aah!

You made me
a believer.

Bust me bin.

If I could
predict the future,

Think of the deals
I'd make.

Mrs. Crackshell,
be my financial consultant.

You'll live in my mansion.

Mom wouldn't leave
her happy tin home.

Besides, we're
inseparable.

That's true.

We're like
laverne and squirrely,

Siskel and eggbert,

Cow worthington
and his dog spot.

You'd have your own
wide screen television.

One side, leech.

Even spud doesn't get
treated like a dog.

This is a swell
bunch of snacks.

I'm glad
madame enjoys them.

It's not often
we get requests

For caviar
and quacker jacks.

Mrs. Crackshell,
you were right

About that
cocoa bean blight.

I saved a fortune

By not investing
in the crop!

That's nice.

I always say

A fortune saved
is a fortune earned.

Hello, mama. Think you
can find time for moi?

Sure, fenton.
I've seen this commercial.

Since
you took this job,

We haven't
had time together.

Here are snapshots
of the trailer.

Oh, mrs. Crackshell,

It's time for today's
stock market predictions.

Can't this wait?
We're visiting.

The stock exchange
waits for no man.

Hurry, my dear.

I have other
- financial matters for you.

I wouldn't want you
to miss your shows.

You're thoughtful,
mr. Mcduck.

Now, let's see.

I just love
when she does this.

Life gets tough when your
mom's a working girl.

Take a look
at this chart.

It shows scrooge's recent
stock market activity.

Anything catch your eye?

Yeah.
The pretty colors.

No, you idiot.

It's these profits.

Even the rockerfellers
haven't had this success.

How'd scroogie do it?

Probably
a financial advisor.

You find out who it is

And arrange for him
to work for me.

I get it...
A kidnapping.

I don't know.

It's hard sneaking
around scroogie's place.

You never know when
gizmoduck might stop by.

Don't worry about him,

Not with my latest gadget.

The ultrazoom spy cam,

Courtesy
- of glumgold industries.

You'll see and hear

Everything going on
at scrooge's place

Without having
to step inside.

Uh, ok, guys.

I got a clear sh*t.

Good!

We'll be watching.

Is mama in her room,
duckworth?

Where else?

Good. Today
I'm taking her home.

Oh. Really?

You think she'll go?

I'm positive.

I fixed her television.

When she hears,
she'll come back.

Come in, fenton.

Mama!
How did you know...

Oh, that's right.

I keep forgetting
you're psychic.

Guess what.

You've brought me
quacker jacks.

Deluxe size. There's a
super-dooper surprise inside.

Ah,
it's just a yo-yo.

Aw, too bad, mama.

Fortunately, that's
not my big surprise.

Wait till you hear.

You've repaired
my television set.

Trying to surprise
a psychic is hard.

I took a picture
of the old set

With a new
coat hanger antenna.

Brings back
memories, huh?

Oh, yeah.

Now that it's fixed,

I'm sure you're ready
to leave here

For our quaint,
picturesque trailer.

That scum dump?

Give me a break.

You got
to come back.

Don't you see what's
happening to us?

We're losing touch,

Drifting apart,
debonding.

Mama,
are you listening?

Oh, that's strange.

Suddenly I have this feeling
we're being watched.

Oh, that's horrible.

I've
lost my appetite.

I'm at my wits' end.

You're either working
or watching tv.

We never converse anymore.

All right,
all right.

You want
conversation?

Start talking.

Oh, goodie goodie!

Mama, are you... Yes.

Have you... No.

What will you...

Chicken fricassee.

Mother, stop answering
before I ask.

This isn't jeopardy!

Can I help if
you're predictable?

Predictable, am i?

Well, predict this.

I gave it my best sh*t.

I guess my mother
is lost to me forever.

Mrs. Crackshell!
Mrs. Crackshell!

Thanks
to your predictions,

I've made $1 billion
in overnight trading!

How sweet.

ha! Ha! Ha!

at this rate,

i'll build
a bigger money bin!

Holy moley!
So she's his advisor.

This gives fenton
more book work.

When is
his next visit?

Uh, never again.

Huh?

What did I say?

It can't be.

But then
I predicted it.

Gee. A son
not visiting his ma.

And people
call us criminals.

Forget about that.

We got
to get her out

So we can grab her.

Maybe we can
send a tv signal.

Fenton never wants
to see me again.

All I have left
of that yo-yo

Is this yo-yo.

There must be some way
you two can make up.

friends, are you having
trouble with your children?

Bad boy. Bad!

Do you they put youse
on edge?

Come back here,
you brat.

[Bang bang]

you are in
a family crisis.

isn't it time you visited

the duckburg family
crisis center?

Today we offer
free counseling

For mothers having problems
with their sons.

Hurry. The family you save
may be your own.

I'd better go there
right now.

Don't leave.
I need you.

Now a prediction
of my own...

That battle-a* will walk
into our hands right now.

Aah!

Good work, boys.

I've wanted to throw a bag
over that bag all day.

This is too much to bear.

At least mr. Mcduck
had cable tv.

You'll get cable
once you earn your keep.

Here's today's
stock market listing.

Do what you did
for scrooge,

And I'll add
remote control.

Blathering
blatherskite!

Still no news
about mama.

I'm doing
everything I can.

I had her picture
put on milk cartons

Despite dairy association
protests.

I know.
I didn't think

Mama cared about me
anymore.

When she
tore herself away

From the young
and the featherless

To salvage
our relationship,

It said
I'm numero uno,

Top of the ratings,
a 50 share.

And now she's gone!

[Telephone rings]

Mcduck's money line.

Very interesting.

I've just been informed
that flintheart glumgold

Is having an upturn
in the market.

You can think
about money

When mama's
in danger?

Fenton, glumgold's
profits went up

The day mama
disappeared.

He got lucky
when my luck ran out.

He's got your mother,
you idiot!

Why that sneaky snake.

How do we
get her back?

The time for thinking
is through.

It's time for action...

Gizmoduck style.

I can't tell you
how pleased I am

With your predictions.

I've made billions.

Soon I'll be richer
than scrooge mcduck.

So where's
my remote control?

Are you kidding?

Do you know how much
those cost?

Here's a list
of all companies

On the world's
stock exchanges.

I want predictions
on every one by tonight.

But I'll miss the webwa
walters special.

Don't you know what it's about
anyway, madame psychic?

Yeah.

Then start predicting.

I wish I never
became psychic.

If only someone
could save me.

What is it?

Bad news for you,
mr. Whiskers.

In 10 seconds,

Gizmoduck will burst through
that door and rescue me.

Yikes.

Aah!

Aah!

Ohh! Ohh! Gosh!

Thanks for the warning,
mrs. Crackshell.

I knew sooner or later
scrooge would use

Metal muscle
to track you.

Greetings, glumgold.

I hope my entrance made
its desired impression.

Indeed, it has,
gizmoduck.

W-w-whoa!

Gizmoduck.

Blathering blatherskite.

Talk about your
sticky situations.

It's useless to
struggle, gizmoduck.

What will you do?

Send him on
- a quick trip to the moon.

Ha ha ha!

Oh, gizmoduck,
I'm so sorry.

Don't blame yourself,
madame.

I only regret
I can't tell my mother

How I'll miss her.

Not half as much
as she'll miss you.

Really?

Time to say good-bye.

Somehow, some way...

I'll get out of this.

You think so?

Would you predict
what's going to happen?

Well, um... First
you pull the lever,

Then he sh**t
into the sky.

Then...

Horror!

Horror!

Aah!

You didn't have to tell.

Farewell, gizmoduck.

Whoa!

If I can't
stop this thing,

Maybe I can steer it.

Ooh!

Aha!

With luck,
I'll land in duckburg.

I won first prize

At the fantastic fresno
frisbee flyoff.

All right, mrs. Crackshell,
rescue time's over.

It's back to business.

[Sirens]

You'd better be right
about this.

I'd bet me money bin
mrs. Crackshell's inside.

You got any good lawyers
you could spare?

They haven't
caught us yet.

Open up, flintheart.

This place is
surrounded by police!

When they realize
nobody's home,

We'll be sailing
to bombay.

Get the battering ram.

What's that?

[Whirring]

Whoa!

Aah!

Gizmoduck?

I hope there's
no skeet sh**t.

Uh-oh!
It's a bird...

It's a plane...

It's gizmoduck.

Now I'm a moving target.

Turn, fool,
before he rams us.

You don't have
to be psychic

To know this will hurt.

Look out!
- Look out!

I'd predict what
will happen to you,

But you don't
want to know.

Gee, mama, can we go
on space mountain again?

Gizmoduck, thank goodness
you're all right.

I am? I am.
What did I hit?

The broadcasting tower.

You've knocked out
duckburg's television.

Horrors! Just
as I envisioned.

No wonder you fainted.

Awful, isn't it?

Worst thing since the
last tv writers' strike.

That crash must've
loosened a wire.

Are you all right?

I, uh...
I think so.

Hey, it's gone.

What?

My psychic power.

That tv in my head
blew a tube.

No!

Yeah. My mind's
a complete blank

Like it used to be.

Finally I get
my old mama back.

[Sobbing]

What's the matter,
mr. Mcduck?

Family bonding
puts tears in your eyes?

No, but no more
predictions does.

Back to making money
the hard way... Earning it.

How would you like
to go on that picnic?

You can even watch tv.

We can't get
a tv signal.

You forget... I have a
built-in satellite dish.

Fenton, every mother
should have a tv...

I mean a son

As thoughtful
as you.
