02x03 - Crusty's Reunion/Tale of the Beast

[bunniefuu]

Hey, look at what the storm knocked over

last night. You know what this looks like?

What?A water slide. Come on, Amber,

let's try it out.

Yahoo! Okay, Sharla, now you two.

Ah-nee! Oh, those

noisy youngins. Oh, I hope they didn't

disturb you, my Water Lily. Okay, this

time watch me do a flip at the end.

What's so great about playing in water?

Just watch!

Oh, that was great! Oh!

Leap and lava rocks, what are you doing?

You nearly k*lled my water lily. Gee,

Krusty, we're sorry. Yeah, we were

just playing. Sorry?Sorry

doesn't cut the honey fruit. I don't want

you playing around here.

Gosh, do you really mean

it, Krusty?Uh, no,

I just... Well, you shouldn't. Just be

more careful next time. Boy, he's

getting to be an old crouch. What's

wrong, Crusty?Well, I...

I was watching Dink and Amber on the

water slide and got to thinking

about my little Buttercup. Who's

Buttercup?She was my childhood best

friend. Now, there was a gal.

Sweet as honey fruit and pretty as a

flower.

Honey fruit?you say

ohh scat crusty's talking about his

buttercup oh that's not good too

she was so innocent so

shy why I get

a send a lot of mischief

like the time I had his run to a stamp

eating herd just for fun

I can't imagine Krusty getting into any

kind of mischief. What happened to your

friend Krusty?Don't rightly know. We

had a bit of a falling out and she moved

away to Turtle Creek, I hear.

I sure miss her. Think about her every

time I see this striped pond Lily bloom.

We planted it together just before she

left. She never saw it flower.

And this year, right?This year may be

the last year it blooms.

Dink, isn't there anything we can do for

Crusty?It's bad. He hasn't come out of

his cave for days. Well, what can we

do?The only thing that would cheer him up

would be seeing Buttercup again, and we

can't. Hey, why can't we?All we have to

do is go to Turtle Creek and bring her

back. Yeah, we can really surprise him.

Boy, Scat go to Turtle Creek too. Oh,where

in the world is Turtle Creek?Follow me.

Gee, Buttercup must really be

shy if she lives all the way back here.

That must be the way up.

Boy, Scott glad wouldn't this trip over.

Phew.

How did that happen?Great fun,

huh, kids?Oh,

yeah, we're having a great time. We knew

we drowned. Oh, boy, haven't you ever

been down a water slide before?Sure, but

I always knew when it was coming. Well,

here he comes

You

sure are a sour purse for a young fella.

Get yourself a new playmate, sister. This

one's a dud. Blay, we're here to find

Buttercup. Oh, really?What do you want

with her?Money or business?Dink,

maybe she can help us find her. Uh, we

have a friend named Crusty who's looking

for her. Crusty?Yahoo! Yikes! Well,

I haven't seen that old bunch of Crusty

since I was a beehive to a dillabyte.

You know Crusty?Of course I do. I'm

Buttercup. You?It can't be.

Bosh, she's not very shy.

Oh, Crusty, I can't wait to see him.

I've got a bone to pick with me.

Uh oh. I sure hope we're not bringing

back trouble.

This is not the way we came. I know. I'm

taking a shortcut. Follow me. Look

out, Crusty. Here we come.

Don't you just love it?Sure, just don't

tell me we got to do it again on this

other mountain. Honey, there's not

supposed to be a mountain here. I don't

think this is a mountain. Should've

guessed. Hey, wake up, voter

buns. I'm waiting for it now.

Move along, pipsqueak.

Pipsqueak. HuhStay here by his

head and run when I give the word.

What are you going to do now?We're

stuck here. That monster is too big to

move. He may be big at that end, but he

ain't so big at this end. Oh, no, you're

not going to do what I think you're. I

hope you can run fast, Sonny.

Hurry, come on!

Look, it's not my fault. Oh, I

just love to fly. Nope, no

kidding. No!

That voice hurt me as a slowpoke. You

better get down there and lend your

friend a hand. I'll do better.

I'll lend him a wing.

Lights out, buddy.

Oh, way to go, Flap. Oh,

youngins.

Oh, nest, sweet nest.

Well, we made it here in no time,

kiddies. And we had a real fun trip,

too.

Just don't make youngsters like they did

in my day. Now where's Krusty?Right,

Fool. Oh, no.

I bet he'll be surprised to see me.

Now what day?What's the matter,

old-timer?Don't you like the water?I

don't like being interrupted when...

We're in touch! Oh, what kind of turtle

doesn't like water?I like water. What

I don't like is... water.

Hold still!

Don't you like to have fun?Huh

Well,Yes, of course I

like to have fun. It's just that... You

know, you used to have a lot of fun when

we were youngsters together, Crusty.

Buttercup?Right on the first

desk.

Now, let's just see how good your legs

hold up. Weren't everyone

we used to do this, Crusty?Well, we were

much younger than Buttercup. Oh, come on.

Here they come.

We're not going to do this, are we?Put it

this way, Grandpa. I will. You can

follow if you like.

Whoa, Turtle! You still got it!

That was great! I haven't felt

this good in years! Remember all

those games we used to play?Yeah.

Follow the turtle. Butter slide. Tree

swing. Turtle toss?Turtle toss!

Yeah, I remember that one. Come on,

Buttercup. Throw time shake. Toss me.

Are you sure, old timer?Darling, I

feel anything butt-old right now. Do it!

Whatever you say! Ha-ha! Let's

check that shake! Crusty!

Crusty! Sounds like Crusty. Oh, no!

What's she doing to him?Way to

go, Crusty!

Isn't this fun?That was

great, Buttercup. That's twice in

one day. Buttercup, you've

made me feel young again. And you've let

me do what I always wanted to do. What?

You let me do the tossing. For years, you

always were the one to do it. Now it's

my turn. Buttercup, you

changed. You used to be so shy.

Well, sure, I've changed with age, but

I'm still young. Buttercup, old chum.

So am I.

Rusty's gonna love this rock.

There, I did it. Oh, gosh, Amber,

it's so pretty. I think so, too. Look

at Cloud Top Mountain.

It looks spooky up there. Yeah,

that's the cave where the beast lives.

Oh, come on, Amber, you listen to too

many ghost stories. Dang, he's real.

You heard the old ones tell how the beast

attacked Green Meadow?Yeah, and they say

he's even scarier than a meat-eater in

frenzy. I'm the beast. He

will. I'm gonna get you.

Uh oh! Scatter!

Scatter, over

here! Hurry!

Can't Meat Eater's gonna get him, Amber!

No, he's not. Hey, Sharp Tooth, over

here!

I think you got his attention. You're

right, let's go! He'll never catch me.

Amber!

Look! Cloudtop Mountain!

We can hide over there! Hurry!

Hurry, Amber! Hurry! Ow!

Run, Amber! I'll school him!

Amber! Come on, Amber.

Please be okay. Oh, Amber,

don't worry. We'll get you out of this.

Dink! Help!

This way! Hurry!

Amber! She's not there! Oh, no! Amber!

Amber! Where are

you?Oh, no! Amber!

The beast's got Amber! I saw him! Oh,

golly! What are we gonna do?Let's

get help from Green Meadow.

Gosh, Amber, I hope you're all right.

Don't worry, Shyler. We'll get her back.

Crusty, Crusty! Amber's

hurt! Crusty, Crusty! Amber's hurt!

Amber's hurt! What are we gonna do?Now

wait, wait one at a time. Amber got hurt,

and the beast carried her away. The beast?

Are you sure?Yeah, he came down the

mountain. Crusty, we've got to

see her. He's right. The beast is

dangerous. Now, now, let's not panic.

We have to concentrate on the best way to

save Amber. Listen, old timer. When

I was young, the Beast came into our

valley. We had to hide them. But now

it's time to face him. Perform a

rescue party. You're going to have to

keep things under control, Dink. What do

you mean?Those fellows are full of bad

stories about the Beast. But you

remember, the Beast has never

actually hurt anyone.

Ding?Where am I?

How

are you?Are you the beast?

You are. No, no,

stay away! I just want to leave.

Don't be afraid.

I want to help you.

What's your name?

Amber.

Amber.

You did this?

There's a beast's cave. Now we've got to

try and lure him away. No. We've got to

force him out. Hey, we don't want anybody

to get hurt. We just want him, Boo Bear.

Force is the only way to deal with him.

Right. We'll smash him.

Hey, that gives me an idea.

We'll cover this pit with brush. It's

deep enough to hold the beast. And so

then I picked you up and brought you

here. I did not see the meat-eater after

that. Do you know what happened to my

friends?I'm scared of what happened to

them. Did... Oh, I believe the

meat-eater left before it could harm

them. Thank you.

We had these back home in Green Meadow.

You're from Green Meadow?

What's wrong?I have avoided that

place for years. The sight of me,

I'm sure, would frighten others. I know.

I've heard the stories. But I'm not

scared anymore. Don't

worry. I'll find your friends for you.

You lure him out of his cave, then I'll

get Amber. Got it.

It's him!OK, Bobber, I'm counting on

you.

It's Amber's friend. Wait.

Come on. Follow me, big guy. Just

a little bit more.

You can't let them hurt, Amber.

Stop! Stop it! We gotta trap him

in the

pit! Amber!

Oh, Dink, I'm so glad to see you.

Come on, we've gotta hurry.

What are you talking about?We set a trap

for the beast, but no telling how long

it'll hold him.

No, he saved me, Dink. They're

hurting him. You've got to stop him. He's

not going to get out of this one. Why are

they hurting him?

You're out of control and there's nothing

we can do. Stop.

Let us handle this. I told

you not to hurt him! No! He's

dangerous! No!

He's my friend!

Why do you want to hurt him?He'd hurt us

if he got the chance. No, he wouldn't.

He's just defending himself. He saved my

life. Would somebody who is really

dangerous do that?Well, it's it's

true. He hasn't harmed her.

Yes, that's right, absolutely. Are

you okay?

Amber, are you guys okay?Everything's

fine now.

Thank you for saving Amber. I am

surprised you are not afraid to look at

me. Gosh, we won't be

afraid of Amber's friend.

You see, no one fears you anymore.

Thanks to you.
