02x35 - Gobi Yourself

[bunniefuu]

This is me-- eliza thornberry

Part of your average family.

I got a dad, a mom...

And a sister.

There is donnie-- we found him.

And darwin-- he found us.

Oh, yeah, about our house-- it moves

'Cause we travel all over the world.

You see, my dad hosts his nature show

And my mom sh**t it.

Okay, so we're not that average.

And between you and me, something amazing happened.

And now I can talk to animals.

It's really cool...

But totally secret.

And you know what?

Life's never been the same.



]

Are you sure this is the right way?

I'm quite sure.

If my calculations are correct

I believe we've just about... Oh!

(Jabbering )

I did around the world.

Look, we're obviously lost.

Why don't we just stop and ask directions?

Eliza: from who?

From them.

Smashing idea!

Salutations.

We're in search of the rare gobi bear.

Not many bear here.

But maybe you find some here.

(Jabbering )

Hi. My name's eliza.

Hi. I arioka.

Oh.

(Laughing )

Please, step inside for tea.

Oh, that would be lovely.

It is your turn to make tea, arioka.

Go away, batlaa.

Brothers.

Hey, squirt, there's a camel over there that looks like you.

Sisters.

Ooh. Ooh.

Wow! Camels!

Such big car.

It's not a car, it's a commvee.

Want to see it?

Yes.

And we learn english from cousins in capital--

Ulaanbaatar.

Good show, batlaa.

Oh, teatime.

(Sniffing )

Yuck!

This is tea?

I mean, this is tea.

Mongolian tea.

Milky and salty.

Mm.

Oh, very good, tunga.

Must stay for borts.

Bet it goes great with this tea.

Terbish, tell me, how do you make

These phenomenal nomad tents?

We call a tent "ger."

I show you.

Your commvee very nice.

The commvee is how we go...

Around the world.

(Laughing )

That is so cool.

Can I try?

You very fortunate.

Commvee...

Pet chimp...

And big sister.

Oh, my big sister can be totally annoying.

Kind of like this camel.

Whoa!

(Laughing )

Arioka, you have

Camels and camping

And a little brother.

Little brother can be big pain.

(Clicking tongue )

Wow.

It's almost like you can talk to animals.

(Clicking )

You know, we're a lot alike.

Nice to find friend in desert.

Here, eliza.

Cool.

Cool.

Pardon me, arioka

But your father and I were talking and...

Well, don't you two look like peas in a pod?

We're having the best time.

I wish we could hang out some more.

Well, that's what we came to tell you.

It appears that our new nomadic friends

Are taking a thrilling two-day trek

Across the desert to the valley of ulaangom

To the very spot were you mother and I

Hope to find the rare gobi bear.

I honor to have you ride with us.

Dad, can i, please?

I don't see why not, poodles.

If you don't mind riding a camel

And sleeping on the ground, and...

Yes! Yes!

Let's ride a camel right now.

Eliza, you have homework to finish.

And, arioka must help prepare meal.

Later.

(Groaning )

These steamed mutton dumplings are simply...

Mutton?

Nigel: marvelous.

Mm. Mutton.

Tasted better when it was borts.

Terbish: batlaa, time to feed dog.

Dog important member of mongolian family.

He keep camel safe.

Great dinner, mrs. Narntia.

Now may we ride the camels?

I'm sorry, but the camels need rest.

We move herd tomorrow.

It's going to be dark soon.

Eliza, why don't you girls just take a walk?

But... But...

(Sighs )

(Grumbling )

Short ride will not hurt camel.

And it won't be dark for awhile.

(Grunting )

This is not as easy as it looks.

Move with camel.

Move like camel.

Much better.

So, time to go back.

Oh, but I'm just getting the hang of it.

Let's go a little farther to that oasis.

Snow leopards could be there.

Really?

Oh, wow. Come on.

I'll race you.

(Both laughing )

I b*at you.

Not by much. I'll race you back.

Cool.

(Growling )

Eliza: no!

Oh, no, no. I wasn't in any danger.

That's not what batlaa said.

Thank goodness he followed you.

What were you doing next to a snow leopard?

You could have been hurt.

I've been chased by animals a lot bigger

And faster than a snow leopard.

(Both gasping )

I mean, they weren't

That much bigger or faster...

You were told not to ride the camels

And you disobeyed.

I'm afraid we'll have to ground you.

What about my trip with arioka?

Oh, yes.

Crossing the magnificent desert

On camelback--

What an adventure.

I'm so sorry, poodles

You can't go.

This is so unfair.

Eliza, you'll see your friend in a few days.

It's not the same as going on a camel.

The subject is closed.

No more talking about this, eliza.

Fine.

I am not talking at all until we get there.

Really?

Can I get that in writing?

You keep it.

Thanks, arioka.

I just wanted to live like you do.

Just for a few days.

Me, too.

You know, even though we wouldn't be together

Maybe for a few days we could...

Switch places. Switch places.

We'll just both keep covered in these scarves.

But I not speak english well.

That's the best part.

I'm not speaking to my family.

With when my family busy moving camels

We no talk much.

But my teeth.

Just cover your mouth like this.

See? I'll do the same thing.

What about glasses?

You can wear my spare pair

And I can take mine off around your family.

Okay, now, remember, steer clear of debbie.

Stick with darwin.

Play with donnie.

Ride camel with batlaa.

Help pack and unpack ger with parents.

Oh, oh, oh, and use my yo-yo.

Just practice, you'll get it.

Uh-uh. Mm-hmm.

Perfect. Just like me.

Remember how I show you to pack ger.

Remember how to make the bed.

Good-bye.

Be careful. Have fun.

We'll see you in two days.

Bye.

Have fun.

Bye.

Bye.

Oh...

(Shrieks )

Don't worry.

I'll see you in two days.

Eliza, wait. You can't leave me

Alone with these people.

What will I do?

You'll do just fine.

Trust me.

(Sighs )

Here I go.

(Shrieks )

Oh, did you have to do that?

It's how we welcome the new kid.

Arioka, pack ger with batlaa.

(Grunting )

All done.

Arioka.

(Clicking tongue )

You go wrong away.

Go with camels.

Oh.

Why are you wearing glasses?

Uh, eliza give them to me.

Youvery odd, arioka.

Eliza, did arioka tell you

She made that scarf she gave you?

(Clearing throat )

Oh, right-- your code of silence.

Mom, she's not talking to you, remember?

Oh.

(Humming )

You're annoyingly happy

For someone who's grounded.

Eliza, hello.

Those go over there.

Uh, thank you very much for telling me.

You get weirder every day.

Time for you to milk camels.

(Groans )

Hello.

I'm eliza.

You want to hear something funny?

I never milked a camel before.

Okay, here goes.

Ow.

Hey, watch the hands.

Sorry.

Uh! Yuck!

(Jabbering )

No gobi bear.

Drat for luck.

Maybe we'll be luckier tomorrow.

Eliza, time to do your math homework.

Which more?

/ Or /?

Will you check this?

You're older.

So much smarter.

All right.

Who are you and what have you done

With my real sister?

We switched just for two days.

Please, no tell.

I like having big sister.

Eliza, do you need any help with your math?

I'll help her, mom.

Oh! Uh... Okay.

Get water from well.

Hey, I thought that was your job.

Now your job, eliza.

(Gasps )

How did you know?

You step and go with left foot, not right.

Have sleeves up, not down.

Not hold elbow of right arm

With left hand when drink tea.

All mongolian ways.

I keep parents busy so they not see.

Batlaa, arioka and I will switch back tomorrow.

Please keep our secret.

I keep secret if you water camel herd.

Deal.

I mean, how long can it take?

They're camels.

They don't need much water, right?

Each camel drink many buckets.

You must raise water from well by hand.

Take you several hours.

(Laughing )

Now that I finally

Have a sister who appreciates me

Do you want to learn to tan?

Sure.

Here.

Put on this stuff.

Cool.

(Sighs )

What I do now?

Nothing.

Isn't it great?

We're off on another quest

For the gobi bear.

Eliza, it's your turn to watch donnie.

Oh, wow!

Nigel something isn't right.

Our daughters are getting along too well.

Oh, nonsense, dearest.

We're one big, happy family.

Parents say now we go north to buy camels.

Not east to valley at ulaangom.

What?

But my family's at the valley at ulaangom.

I sorry.

They no change mind.

I'm never going to see my family again.

Batlaa, you have to help me.

We have to meet up with my family

So I can switch back with arioka.

If you want go home, why not tell?

I'm already grounded.

If my parents find out, I'll be in even bigger trouble.

Guess you will have

To keep doing my chores then.

(Grunts )

Hmm, if we go this way

We'll at least be closer to meeting my parents.

Batlaa, what's "ketsu krem"?

It mean "difficult cave."

It part of desert where my parents met.

Oh, really?

Mother, father, please visit ketsu krem.

Not far out of way

And I love to hear story how you met there.

Quick stop might be nice.

I just have to get them to go east

Out of that difficult cave place instead of north

And I'll be home free.

Debbie: whoa! Whee!

Are you okay?

You look a little weird.

I never ride over sand in car before.

Only on camel.

Feel a little sick.

Quick, put your head between your knees.

You'll be fine.

(Groaning )

(Groans )

Oh, tunga.

Oh, terbish.

So nice to hear love story again.

Now we go east, yes?

Yes. East.

Not east.

We go north to camel seller.

(Groans )

Look, you've got to help me out here.

Just remember what a bad camel milker I am.

What's your plan?

Terbish, look! Stampede!

Yes!

Family, here I come.

(Jabbering )

No sign of our nomad friends.

They must have changed their plans.

Let me get this last sh*t.

Thanks for getting the herd to stampede.

I promise arioka will be here any minute.

I want real sister back.

She never stampede.

(Grunts )

We just have to get your parents to stay

Until we meet my family.

(Jabbering )

(Chattering )

We better get going.

We still have one place to check

For the gobi bear.

Oh, no.

We go now, or miss camel seller.

But what about thornberrys?

Uh, nice people, but we cannot stay.

(Sniffing )

(Whines )

They're here!

(Howls )

My dog! They here!

Where?

Oh, my.

Gobi bear.

Great idea.

That'll keep them here.

Mom, dad!

Look, look, a gobi bear.

No. Real gobi bear.

(Screams )

(Screaming )

Parents waiting. What we do?

Stall 'em.

(Groans )

(Gasps )

(Both gasp )

Eliza, what are you doing?

It's okay.

Just move away.

Hey, look, we're out of here.

We don't want to hurt you.

We want to leave you alone.

(Short growl )

(Both screaming )

Girls, there you are.

(Panting )

Oh, it's nice to see you, too, arioka.

Oh, great.

Where are your parents?

Marianne, look!

The rare gobi bear!

(Growls )

That was close.

I think I'll stay eliza thornberry from now on.

Me, too.

You know what I mean.

(Both laugh )

All: bye!

See you.

So long. Good-bye.

(All chuckling )

Other parents are nice

But you're the best parents I ever had.

Why, thank you, pumpy poodles.

I guess she's speaking to us again.

I am never doing anything like that again.

Besides, I really missed you, dar.

You did?

You had to milk those camels, didn't you?

(Laughs )
