The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries (1995–2001): Season 1, Episode 10 - It Happened One Night Before Christmas - full transcript
Granny helps her absent-minded brother locate the $8,000 he misplaced in the town of Bedspread Falls on Christmas Eve.
Oh, listen, my children
and you shall hear
of the midnight ride of Paul Rev..
Oops. Wrong poem. Ha-ha-ha. Ahem.
'Twas the night before
Christmas and Granny was wary
that while she was decking the
halls I'd swipe that canary.
But our plans for the
holiday were soon to change
Boy, speaking in rhymes
can really sound strange.
Oh, dear! Eight thousand dollars!
Where can it be?
If I can't find this money,
our business will be ruined.
It's got to be here somewhere.
Hey, Hubie, it looks like
the old guy's losing it.
Didn't you hear him, Bert?
He's already lost it.
Eight thousand bucks.
Eight thousand bucks?
Gee, Hubie, that's a lot of cheese.
Maybe we should help the old guy.
Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. Help.
I can't find it.
Eight thousand dollars.
Who can I turn to?
Granny!
Bedspread Falls is old-fashioned
and not up to speed.
Hey, look over there
Is that Donna Reed?
Then into the town, we
arrived with such clatter.
Just to get into this
thing We needed a ladder.
Come on, boys.
This is no time to play in the snow.
- Sister!
- Brother!
And who do we have here?
Why, this is my little Tweety bird.
My, isn't he a cute one?
Uh, come in, come in.
Now, who could that be?
Willie, this is my pooch, Hector.
Hector, this is your Uncle Willie.
[grunting
And this is my kitty, Sylvester.
Sylvester, give your Uncle
Willie a kiss hello.
Mwah!
And these are my pets.
Hubie and Bertie.
Well, they're my kissin' cousins.
Sylvester!
It isn't polite to eat family.
Been there, done that.
Now, brother, sit down and tell
me what this is all about.
Oh, sister, this is a pickle.
This is a pickle.
'Today's the day that I make our
weekly deposit at the bank.'
'Th-this week's deposit was $8000.'
I counted it carefully, th-then
put it in a yellow envelope
and went right to the bank.
When I got there, the money
had disappeared. Oh.
That is a mystery.
Hm?
Now, Willie, are you sure you
went straight to the bank?
I'm sure, I'm sure.
Oh, sure, sure.
We're going to have to
retrace your footsteps.
Get your coat. Time's a-wastin'.
Say, is that cat as stupid as he looks?
Stupider.
Sylvester, you found
Willie's footprints.
Good kitty.
We took to the town to
look for the dough.
Seems old Willie's
memory was only so-so.
Straight to the bank, eh?
Uh? Oh. Ha-ha-ha.
I-I came in here for a newspaper.
Mr. Bowers, I'm Granny,
Willie's sister.
Do you remember seeing
him earlier today?
Do I? He came in here this morning.
Guess he must've thought
he was at the library
'cause he stood reading
every magazine I got.
Look at that mess.
Subscription cards everywhere.
I hate subscription cards.
But did he purchase anything?
'He had a sarsaparilla.'
'Oh, and he bought a newspaper.'
'He didn't read it, though. Ha.'
'Folded a yellow envelope
inside it and left.'
Come, brother, let's
get back on the trail
while it's still cold.
'I just got over a cold.'
'Licked it with lots of vitamin C.'
'I hate vitamin C.'
Hey, Willie, here's your keys.
You dropped them here earlier.
I hate keys.
The search for the money
went full speed ahead.
While visions of burly
dogs danced in my head.
Thud
Now, sister, I'm sure I..
Bang
Oh, goodness. I..
Really, Willie, you should pay
attention to where you're goin'.
Granny's patience was melting
like cheese for fondue.
When all of a sudden old
Will dropped a clue.
'Hmm?'
And to where you've been.
You saw a movie today, Willie?
Uh, well..
Hmm? Hmm?
Not just a movie. A film festival.
Starring Curly. He's my favorite.
Come on, you knucklehead.
'Now, from here you went
directly to the bank, right?'
Right.
Right after I mailed
my Christmas cards.
Christmas cards?
Hello!
It is Christmas, sister.
Had he made the deposit
and simply forgotten?
Had his brain been replaced
with potatoes au gratin?
Huh?
Oh, well, the money isn't in here.
But, look, I found your Christmas card.
Say, Willie, thanks for the
fabulous tip this morning.
Oh, that wouldn't happen to
be an $8000 tip, would it?
Ha, ha. That's rich. More like 8 cents.
Now, let me get this straight.
You took a cab somewhere?
That's right. Took him over to
Rossi's, on the edge of town.
Pile in.
'That'll be 1.90.'
Oh, here you go.
Keep the change.
Ooh, a whole dime.
You two are gonna spoil me.
Hey, Willie, I almost forgot.
You left something in my cab earlier.
A yellow envelope?
No. Your horse.
'Uncle Willie.'
You back for another hot chocolate?
And who is this lovely
lady you bring with you?
'This is my sister, Granny.'
'Mwah! Let me get you the
best table in the house.'
'No, no, we can't stay. We're
looking for something.'
'Do you mean you're on some
kind of a scavenger hunt?'
That's not quite the way we see it.
Ah, you must mean what Willie
left here this afternoon, eh?
I put it right over here.
Just like you left it.
Gee, and it's not even Saturday night.
Now, Willie, are you sure this
was your last stop for the day?
Sure as the day is long, sister.
Sure as the day is long.
The days are pretty short
this time of year.
Daily? What are you doing back here?
That's for me to know and
you to find out, Totter.
What's it gonna be this time, Daily?
Trying to get a free toaster
without opening an account?
You're not a very nice guy, are you?
Meanest man in town.
Come back here, my little sugarplums.
Aa-ha!
Frozen with fr-fr-fr-fright.
[teeth clattering
See what happens when you
don't floss every day?
Ha-ha-ha. Yeah, yeah.
Sure, sure. Right.
I've misplaced my deposit.
Eight thousand smackers.
What kind of scam are
you running, anyway?
Coming in here to make a
deposit with no money.
Don't you know that's against the law?
Get out. Get out of my bank.
Come on, brother. The service
at this bank stinks.
Look. The newspaper.
Yeah.
My favorite Christmas color.
Green.
'Totter's depositing
Uncle Willie's money'
into his own account.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. On
account of he's a crook.
- We gotta do something.
- Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure.
Whoo! How did we ever let
'em talk us into this one?
- 'Oof!'
- Who's there?
- Woah!
- Santa?
Ho-ho-ho!
Well, what did you bring me?
What did you bring me?
It's beautiful. It goes with my eyes.
Ho-ho-ho.
Ho-ho.. Aah! Aah!
Hey.
I guess that's why they call it a flue.
Heh, heh.
On Dasher, on Dancer,
on Nordhoff, on Roscoe.
Pom pom
Aw, pussy, this is no
time for a catnap.
We gotta get this newspaper to Granny.
Oh, let's admit it, sister.
The money is gone.
I'm ruined.
There, there, Willie.
We have to keep sleuthing.
The answer isn't going to
just hit you out of the blue.
Aah!
You've got some newspaper
delivery service around here.
Hmm. "Elvis beams down
from alien ship?"
Let me see that.
'A sarsaparilla stain..'
'...a grease stain from a cab door'
a hot chocolate stain from Rossi's.
Willie, this must be the
newspaper you bought earlier.
You're right.
So that means..
The money.
Oh, you must have been
mistaken, sister.
Look, right here it says, "From
the desk of Freddy T. Totter."
Freddy T. Totter.
Mr. Totter, my brother and
I have reason to believe
that you have the missing $8000.
I don't know what you're talking about.
And I thought I told you
to stay out of my bank.
Hmph!
Heh, ha. How do you
suppose that got there?
You took that money to try
to put my brother's business
out of business.
You never miss a trick, do you, Totter?
Well, you're gonna miss this one.
So, what if I did take the money?
What's wrong with that?
Totterville, that's what I wanted.
A whole town owned and operated by me.
That's right, me, me, me.
Fred Totter, ha-ha-ha,
the meanest man in town.
Oh, Merry Christmas, desk.
Merry Christmas, fireplace.
Merry Christmas, pussycat.
And a happy New Year to you, in jail.
Maybe I'd better hold on to this.
Come on, Granny.
If we hurry, we can still
make the Daily family dinner
at my nephew's house.
A holiday turkey with
all the trimmings.
I'll take a drumstick.
Or two if they're small.
Uh-oh.
Ha!
With the mystery solved,
I took off in a flash
I needed that bird to
make canary corn hash.
Crash
- Nice shot, Hubie. Nice shot.
- Naturally.
They say that every time a bell
rings, an angel gets its wings.
[bells ringing
Get me. I'm giving out wings. Hmm!
and you shall hear
of the midnight ride of Paul Rev..
