Rule Britannia (laughs)

Yes, that's exactly
what I plan to do.

Not only will I rule England,

but the whole world
will be my oyster.

Please don't mention food.

A fortune in jewels
awaits us, boys,

thanks to this secret map

that conveniently
fell into my claws.

Gee, boss, uh, can I see?

Keep your paws off, Mole.

Don't ever let me see you
so much as touch this artifact.

I just wanted a peek.

Golly, it's a good thing
I installed

that smoke blower
for nights like this.

How are we gonna
find Fat Cat
in all this fog?

No problem.

A river only goes
one way, you know.

Don't be too
sure there, mates.

The Zambooni river in Africa
goes two ways

with eight lanes
of traffic to boot.
(chuckles)

Course, once you
hit McLoubury--

Ship ahoy!

It's Fat Cat all right.

Dale: And he's a-headed for
the Tower of London.

Chip: Rescue Rangers, away!

(wolf howls)

Wart:
I don't like the looks
of this place, Fat Cat.

It's very creepy.

Clam up and cut the line.

Up there, in the window!

Where? What?

Mepps: It's a ghost!

More likely one of
the castle guards.

That's why this map is--

The map. Where's the map?

I don't see anything.

Oh, here it is, Fat Cat.

Fat Cat: The map.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to touch it.

(gasps)

Thanks for nothing, Mole.

Gee, you're welcome, Fat Cat.

Is it much further?

Quiet. You're distracting me.

(grunts)

Don't just stand there
and look stupid.

Push!

(grunting)

This is hard work.

I'm surprised
you recognized it.

Spread out!

Now, which way to
the Crown Jewels?

But, boss, why don't we
just go to the museum

like everyone else?

Yeah, why do we need
a secret map

to find the Crown Jewel?

We're using a secret map

because I know
a little secret
about the jewels.

A secret? Oh, goodie!
What is it?

If I told you...

(loudly) it wouldn't be
a secret anymore, would it?

Now, follow me

and be quiet!

Oof!

Wart:
Hey, who's the wise guy?

Yeah, cut it out, Mole.

(stammers)
I-- I didn't do anything.

Ow!

Then it was you! You--

Fat Cat: You blockheads.

Who started this?

It was a g-g-ghost!

Impossible.
There's no such thing.

Just worry about
the Rescue Rangers.

They always seem to show up
and spoil my fun.

You sure this
suction cup'll hold, Gadget?

Of course, Monty. It's been
tested for up to 300 pounds.

Well, I think we're
well under that.

(screaming)

Guess I must've put on
a few ounces there.

Come on. We'll find Fat Cat
by the Crown Jewels.

But where are we
gonna find the jewels?

Chip: The Crown Jewels look
pretty safe to me
with all those guards.

Well, then what are
we doing here?

Because they don't know
about Fat Cat.

Hey, where are
Monty and Zipper?

Monty:
That's him, Zipper.
Sir Colby,

one of me own ancestors.

Sir Colby risked
life and limb

to keep the Crown Jewels
of England safe

from cutthroats
and thieves.

Why, he might've been the
bravest mouse of them all.

Next to yours truly,
of course. (chuckles)

Monty: As I heard it, Sir Colby
single-handedly stopped
the Canterville Cat

from stealing
the Crown Jewels.

This cat was
a huge yellow beast

with smoke blowing from his nose
and teeth as sharp as razors.

It's those blasted
Rescue Rangers.

Rescue Rangers?
Let me see.

Quiet! You want them
to hear us?

Now that you mention it, no.

My turn. My turn.

Hey! Quit pushing!

Ow! Stop that!

Monty: Legend has it,
that when the moon is full

and the night is still,

Sir Colby's ghost still walks
the halls of the Tower.

G-g-g-g-ghost?

Ha! I'm just
pulling your tail, mate.

There ain't no such
animalesque.

-Mepps: Ow!
-Mole: Ow!

Wart: That's my tail!

What was that?
What was that?

It came from
behind the painting.

Chip: Maybe there's a
secret passage back there.

Mole: Ow!

(squeaks) What?

We've been spotted.

We'll have to
get rid of them.

(Zipper squeaks)

What is it, Zipper?
What did you see?

Dale: A beach ball!

A beach ball with claws.

(meowing)

Gadget: Fat Cat!

I knew it!
He's behind that wall.

Chip: Spread out and
look for a way in.

They're gettin' away!

Out of me way, mates.

We ain't got no time
to shilly-shally.

It's a good thing
they don't make 'em
like that anymore.

(hollow knocking)

Sounds hollow over here.

Uh, any luck?

Not yet. Go look for
trapdoors in the floor.

Ooooh!

Stop complaining, Dale.

We gotta find a way in.

You talkin' to me?

Oooooh!

(coughing)

(ghostly crying)

Hold it, Chipper.
You hear that?

-(crying continues)
-It's a...

But it couldn't be!

(crying)

I give up.
I can't scare anything.

But you're...

You're a...

A coward.

You're the ghost
of Sir Colby,

me ancestor!

You're the one who
scared off the Canterville Cat.

Sorry to disappoint you, lad,

but it was
the other way around.

He scared me into
deserting my post.

You ran away?

And hid out
in fear and shame.

Ever since then, I've been
cursed to haunt the Tower.

(yelps)

Oh. (stammers)

Is he gone?

This yellow-bellied
liverwursted little mouse is...

a relative.

Well, I don't blame you
for being upset.

As a ghost,
I'm a total failure.

Colby:
Why, I couldn't even
scare away

those intruders in
the secret passageway.

-He means...
-Fat Cat.

And you're the only one
who can help me!

Get a hold of yourself, Colby.

What can I do?

To break the curse,

a descendant must do
a brave deed in my name.

A brave deed?

Why, you've come
to the right mouse.

Brave deeds are
Monterey Jack's specialty.

Just tell us how to
get into that secret passage.

Well, it's been a while since
I needed to use a secret door,

but the door to
the secret passage
is right behind this...

Oh, no! It's...

(screeches)

It's the ghost of
the Canterville Cat!

He's come back!

(screeches)

N-n-n-n-now's your chance

to do a b-b-brave deed,
Monterey.

Yeah, and get Sir Colby
out of that curse.

(cat screeches)

Rescue Rangers away!

All: Monterey!

Look out!

(screeches)

(all sigh)

Monty: Is he g-gone?

I mean,
is everybody safe?

We're fine, Monty,
but are you okay?

Yeah, what happened
to you?

Uh, well, I...

I was, uh...

A yellow-bellied,
liverwursted coward?

Yeah. I mean, no.

I mean, I can handle cats,

most cats, anyway.

I can handle ghosts,

but a ghost cat...

I mean, it's just not human.

It's not even alive.

Now, Monty, you don't
really believe in ghosts.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Colby, sir.
I didn't mean to include you.

Oh, that's quite all right,
my dear.

I haven't believed in myself
for a long time either.

With that attitude,
you'll never break the curse.

Too right, Chip.

If that ghost cat
shows up again,

he'd better look out
for old Monterey Jack.

I'll knock his block off. I--

I'll grab him by the tail
and make him face the music.

You'll see, Gadget, love. Y--

Gadget?

-Chip: Gadget!
-Dale: Come back!

Look out for the ghost cat!

Oh, he's long gone,
and unfortunately,

so is his head.

We'd better get back
to the Crown Jewels
before Fat Cat does.

I know where they are.
Follow me!

But-- But the jewels
are back, uh, th--

Oh, I forget.
You can't float through walls.

We'll have to take
another route.

Dale:
But we saw the Crown Jewels
back there in the museum.

Colby: (chuckles)
Sorry, old chap, but those
aren't the real Crown Jewels.

Dale: They're not?

Colby: I'm afraid not.

All glitter and all sparkle
and all glass.

The real Crown Jewels are
safely hidden in a secret room

at the top of
one of the towers, you see.

Monty:
Right, so Fat Cat's takin'

a secret route there
to steal them.

Chip:
Not if we get there first.

We're almost there.
No turning back now.

You mean, we have to go
all the way down there?

Gadget:
Oh, Monty, it's just a long,
dark, spooky old hallway.

Dale:
Yeah, just the kinda place where
you might run into a ghost cat.

Ghost cat? Where?

(clears throat) I mean,
let me at him.

If there're any
spooks to be spiked,

ol' Monterey Jack'll--

Yah!

All: Monterey, where are you?

Are you all right?

Hey, Dale, help me
with this thing.

Okie dokie, Chipper.

Just leave me millions
outside the door, okay?

Well, there they be,

the Crown Jewels of England.

(all exclaiming)

Look out below!

(laughing)

Hey, look at me.

(laughs) Who crowned you king?

It's like a fairyland.

Isn't this great, Monty?

Monty?

Golly, Monty,

what are you doing up there?

G-g-g-g-g-ghost cat!

All: Huh?

(screeching)

(all exclaiming)

You're on your own!

(growls)

I love to gobble down
little rodents.

Canterville Cat:
Come out, come out,
wherever you are.

Yah!

I don't believe it.

Monty ran away.

You can come out, boys.

It's all over.

Aw, gee whiz,
I was having fun.

It's getting hot in here.

Mepps: Watch it, Wart.

That's my feet
you're stepping on.

(grunts)

You Rescue Rangers have
bothered me for the last time.

Gather up the jewels, boys.

Fat Cat: I have plans
for these rodents.

Welcome, Rescue Rangers,
to your new play room,

(chuckles) the Tower dungeon.

Of course, this part
of the dungeon

isn't on the regular tour.
(chuckles)

So no one will disturb you
for a very long time.

You're not gonna
get away with--

Now, let me see.
Where to begin?

The Rack?

Oh, no, no.
That would be
stretching things.

Hmm, the Iron Maiden.

No, no. Too large
and too--

(shutters)
Well, you get the point.

(gasp) I know.

The Crew Cutter.

A horrible little toy
used to extract confessions
from the guilty.

As the water
slowly drips out,

the chopping blade
is slowly lowered, until...

(imitates cutting sound)

Positively medieval.

Fat Cat:
Well, I'm off for my reward.

Ta-ta, Rescue Rangers.

Now, don't go all to pieces
too quickly.

(laughs)

Don't worry, guys.
Monty will save us.

I hope.

(panting)

(whimpering)

What? What is it?
Where?

Nothing, mate.
I thought I saw a ghost.

-You did.
-I did?

Of course. Me. Remember?

Oh, right.

Let's face it, mate.

I'm nothing but
a shivering yellow-belly.

(sighs)
Runs in the family.

I guess we're both
under the same curse.

Colby:
When I deserted my post,
I let my friends down,

just like you did yours.

Me little pals.

They're in trouble!

Come on! I may be
a yellow-belly,

but I'm still
a Rescue Ranger!

Colby: Oh!

And this time,
don't forget the sack,

and I mean
a really big sack.

Yeah, yeah.
Sheesh, what a grouch.

Hurry, mate.
Me pals are in danger!

But what if
we run into...

The ghost cat!
(gasps)

You may be a cat,
and you may be a ghost,

but you're also history.

This one's for you, Colby!

(screams)

(all grunting)

-Wart: They're not supposed
to fight back!
-Mepps: I'm leaving!

Yeah. Looks like he got the
stuffing knocked out of him.

You stopped
the Canterville Cat
single-handed.

-Oh, it was nothing.
-(squeaking)

I just looked him
square in the--

Hey, Zip, cut it--
What?

The dungeon?

Colby, you go up
and take care of Fat Cat.

I've got friends to save.

But-but-but-but-but...

(coughing)
I'm getting waterlogged.

Yes, but so is
the leather strap.

Try stretching it.

Everybody twist.

No good.
It's still not loose enough.

Hang on, mates!
We're coming to the rescue!

Monterey!

I knew you'd make it!

Hurry!
Get us out of here!

No cat's gonna keep me away!

(straining)

(grunting)

(straining)

Hurry before
Fat Cat gets away!

Fat Cat:
The Crown Jewels. Ha!

They're mine! All mine!

In the name of
the Queen of England,

I command you to
remove that crown.

Gladly.

Hey!

Perhaps you'd care
to join your friends

in the torture chamber.

You wouldn't.
You didn't.

You fiend!

Yah! (babbles)

(stammers)

(screams)

Sir Colby!

(stammers)

(cheering)

You saved
the Crown Jewels, Colby.

I couldn't have done it
without your inspiration, lad.

I'm eternally grateful to you.

Oh, it was...
nothing at all.

The curse is broken.
I'm free!

Farewell, Rescue Rangers!

All: Good-bye!

Now, there goes
one gutsy fella.

Where do you suppose
he gets it, Monterey?

Takes after me, no doubt.
