(BIRDS CHIRPING)
CHIP: Boy,
just look at all that junk.
GADGET: That isn't junk.
Those are science projects
the kids built for the fair.
A fair?
Oh, boy, oh, boy!
I wanna go on
the rollercoaster.
Not that kind of fair,
dummy. A science fair.
When it's over,
the kids throw away
all kinds of neat inventions.
GADGET: Once I found
a perpetual motion machine
just lying in a trash can.
Of course, by then
it had stopped moving.
Cheese!
Now that's what I call
a science project.
(SLURPING)
(BOTH SCREAMING)
(STATIC CRACKLING)
Crikey!
Talk about sharp cheddar.
Golly!
An electrical cheese tester.
Did you know
that mozzarella
conducts electricity
twice as well
as provolone?
Gosh,
I hope they throw this away
when the fair is over.
Quick, hide!
Does he
look familiar
to you?
Oh, no!
This thing won't work
without a record.
Marvin won't mind
if I borrow this,
especially
since he won't know.
He's a blinkin' thief!
I know I've seen him
somewhere before.
My project's
better than yours.
I'll bet it's not.
I worked three months on this.
My uncle made my project,
and he's
an unappreciated genius.
He told me so himself.
Quick, get down!
Hello, Marvin.
Can you tell us
about your project?
(CLEARING THROAT)
I've recorded
sounds of the city
on my homemade
recording machine.
But why don't I let it
speak for itself?
(GASPING)
My record's gone!
I must have
left it at home.
But it really does work!
No, honest,
I really did
make a record.
Marvin,
get ahold of yourself.
We'll come back later.
Maybe you can
find your record
by then.
M-Maybe I left it
in my locker.
Tsk, tsk.
Some children just can't
take the pressure
of ruthless competition.
And what do you have
to show us, Normie?
A molecular
audio empathizer.
Oh, sounds impressive.
What does it do?
Uh, stuff.
MARVIN ON RECORD:
Hi. You're listening to
a homemade record...
Whoops!
...made on Marvin's...
(RECORD SCRATCHING)
...now play an assortment
of sound effects.
Listen.
Move it, mates.
She's gonna blow.
We're lucky
it's only oatmeal.
Could use a little cinnamon,
though.
Giving a record player
a fancy name
doesn't make it
a science project.
But... But it...
That's another F
for you, Normie.
But it...
Uncle Norton wouldn't invent
a stupid record player.
Maybe if I cranked up
the volume.
(CHUCKLING)
(ENGINE REVVING)
(ALL SCREAMING)
This is crazy!
Oh, I get it.
Hey, this is fun.
Look out!
What in Einstein
is going on?
(SCREAMING)
(GIGGLING)
MONTEREY:
Batten down your hatches!
There's a whale of
a storm a-brewin'!
CHIP: Run for it!
(ALL SCREAMING)
(GLASS BREAKING)
(WIND HOWLING)
GADGET: Don't worry.
Whirlwinds like this
don't usually last very long.
See what I mean?
(QUACKING)
Wow!
This fair had some
good rides after all.
(SIGHING)
Next science fair we go to,
remind me to bring
my swimsuit.
Or at least a towel.
You'll feel different about it
(HAIR DRYER WHIRRING)
when we go back.
-Go back?
-Go back?
Sure. We've gotta
get Marvin's record
back to him.
Marvin might
grow up to be
a great scientist someday.
A setback like this
could really frazzle him.
(BEEPING)
(NIMNUL CACKLING)
In a few moments,
the entire city
will be in my power.
Walls will crumble,
people will run screaming
into the streets,
and the voice of Nimnul
will be heard
throughout the land.
(DOORBELL RINGING)
(GROANING)
Wouldn't you know it?
Just when I'm
about to create havoc!
(MACHINE WHIRRING STOPS)
(DOORBELL RINGING)
If it's not one of
my nosy neighbors,
it's little girls
selling cookies.
Gotta get a dog,
or a Bengal tiger
or something.
(DOORBELL RINGING)
All right, already,
I'm coming! I...
Normie!
Why aren't you
at school?
The science fair
was postponed
for repairs.
(GIGGLING)
(GROANING) I suppose
it's just as well.
I'm about to flatten
the whole city anyway.
(GIGGLING)
(EXCLAIMING)
Flatten the school first,
Uncle Norton.
Maybe the teachers
are still there.
When I throw this lever,
the entire city will
be in my power.
Walls will crumble,
people will...
Well, you--you get the idea.
No!
Now what?
Everything seems
all right here.
No! That can't be!
Somebody's stolen
the molecular
audio empathizer.
What sort of sneaking,
dishonest, conniving...
NIMNUL: Normie!
(BEEPING)
(NORMIE MUTTERING)
Haven't I told you
never to play with
my super-weapons?
You could devastate yourself.
I just borrowed it
for the science fair.
Ow!
You march right
back to school,
young man,
and get that molecular
audio empathizer.
(SCREAMS)
And don't stop to
play on the way.
(THUDDING)
NORMIE: Yes, Uncle Norton.
CHIP: Let's get
Marvin's record
and get out of here.
Do you think
this gizmo might have
caused all that
crazy stuff to happen?
That's silly.
No school project
could've done that.
Still, there is a lot
of neat stuff in here.
I wonder if
they'll throw it away.
(GADGET SCREAMING)
Gadget!
GADGET: No problem.
I'll be out in a jiffy.
(NORMIE GIGGLING)
Golly, it's very
interesting in here.
Dark, too.
(BOTH GASPING)
(ALL GRUNTING)
It's stuck,
mates.
Yeah, and so is Gadget.
CHIP: He's taking
Gadget with him.
How are we
gonna catch him?
MONTEREY:
Depend on old Monterey.
Just a trick I learned
from a flyin' squirrel.
Nip out the window
and tie this to
the kid's bike.
(SQUEAKING) Right.
(BUZZING)
Me and the squirrels
used to glide
over Frostbite Falls
lookin' for mooseberries.
What are we
waiting for?
Nothin'.
(MONTEREY SCREAMING)
(GASPING)
Welcome aboard,
Zipper, me lad.
(PANTING)
Why can't he live
in the suburbs
like everyone else?
Whoa!
He took Gadget inside.
How are we
gonna get in?
In? How are we
gonna get down?
No problem, pally.
We'll just
take in the sails.
(GRUNTING)
(ALL SCREAMING)
Golly, that thing
could use seatbelts.
Hold on. This here's
the little boy's record.
When I throw this lever,
the entire city will
be in my power.
People will run
screaming into the...
We know all that stuff,
Uncle Norton.
Get to the good part.
Oh, all right.
MARVIN ON RECORD:
Hi. You're listening to
a homemade record
made on Marvin's
recording machine.
(RECORD SCRATCHING)
There's something wrong.
What?
NIMNUL: That isn't
the right record.
Where's the record
I had on here this morning?
Did you do
something with it?
It wasn't my fault,
Uncle Norton.
It was a boy named Marvin.
He broke the record.
He's bad.
He's always
bein' mean to me.
Oh, never mind.
I have another copy.
That voice.
My molecular audio empathizer
is simple complexity
at its finest.
If I played, say,
a lullaby,
it would make
the entire city take
a nice, restful nap.
(LAUGHING)
We certainly
wouldn't want that,
would we?
It's Professor Nimnul.
That's why
the kid looks familiar.
GADGET: If it's Nimnul,
he must be up to no good.
DALE: Yeah,
but what kind of no good?
Uh. Here it is.
Music to devastate
the globe by.
In stereo.
(NIMNUL LAUGHING)
Side 1 alone should be enough
to level the entire city.
Level the city?
We've gotta
do something.
I've got an idea.
Hold this, mate.
Come on.
(GRUNTING)
We'll switch records
so as it plays
somethin' harmless.
I was always partial
to boogie-woogie myself.
Yeah. Now that's
a hit record.
Are you okay, Monty?
Come on, let's get
this thing up there.
Okey-dokey.
That does it.
Now we just have
to move that thing.
When I pull this lever,
the entire city will...
(WHIMPERS) Oh, never mind.
(ALL SCREAMING)
He passed out.
He'll be
needled to death.
Monterey Jack, cheese!
Cheese? Where? Where?
That's a right dirty trick
to play on a fella.
(ALL SIGHING)
(UPBEAT PIANO PLAYING
ON RECORD)
Gee, Uncle Norton,
why do you want to
destroy the city?
Because nobody really takes
a mad scientist seriously
until he's leveled
a city or two.
But once I've
proven my power,
I'll have
the whole world
in my sway!
NORMIE: Is the city
in your sway, Uncle Norton?
No.
It's just swaying.
That can't be
the right record.
For one thing,
utter devastation always has
more drums and cymbals.
All right,
let's shut this thing down.
Rescue Rangers, away!
Wow!
City Hall sure can boogie.
Golly!
Which lever
turns it off?
Hit them all.
Geronimo!
(UPBEAT PIANO PLAYING
ON RECORD)
Hey, what gives?
(ALL GRUNTING)
Oh, boy!
Defenseless little animals.
(PANTING)
It's no good.
It's stuck.
We're just not
heavy enough.
Prepare to meet your doom,
you pitiful creatures.
(MUSIC STOPS)
Normie, what are you doing?
Let's vamoose.
No. I got an idea.
Norman, why did you
pull those levers down?
I-It wasn't me,
Uncle Norton.
It was those animals.
The little-bitty...
No, no.
Big! Big killer rats!
These are
delicate instruments
of destruction!
If you don't know
how to use them,
you could hurt somebody.
But, Uncle Norton,
the doors aren't
open.
And now,
number one on the charts.
MARVIN ON RECORD:
My machine will now play an
assortment of sound effects.
(TRAIN WHISTLE BLARING)
Oh, no!
Gotta throw the switch!
G-G-G-Golly!
I feel like a pogo stick
with the hiccups.
(WIND HOWLING)
We've gotta
find Chip and Dale!
Let's go before
the whole place
blows away.
Gee, Uncle Norton,
I better be
getting back to school.
You can forget
about your allowance
this week, Normie!
(CREAKING)
(THUDDING)
My record!
Somebody found it!
And it won
some kind of prize.
First prize
for saving
the city.
Marvin's science project
sure brought
down the house.
Yeah, Nimnul's house.
