Yogi's Gang (1973–1975): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Greedy Genie - full transcript

The Greedy Genie damages the ark and tempts Yogi's friend Smiley with gifts.

Come on, everybody,
let's join Yogi's gang.

CHORUS (SINGING) :
We're on a trip with a wacky ship

We'll have a lark
On Yogi's ark

Look down there, Yogi, it's Mr. Smog.

Okey-doke, let's fix his smoke.

CHORUS: There's one solution
To stop pollution

HUCKLEBERRY:
Hey, Yogi, it's Lotta Litter.

YOGI: Hey, hey, hey.
We'll have to take care of her some way.

Uh-oh. It's the Prankster and
the Greedy Genie at 3 o'clock.

Hey, let's fix their clock.

HUCKLEBERRY:
If those big goons were out of the away



BOO BOO:
The world would be so bright and gay

Let's try to keep it just that way
Hey!

CHORUS:
It's up to you and me

- It's up to you
- And you

- And you
CHORUS: It's up to you and me

YOGI:
Hey, hey, hey. It's Yogi's gang.

What a beautiful day, Boo Boo.

Love that Florida weather.

How much farther to the Everglades?

I estimate an hour's flying time,
if our bananas hold out.

Banana break time.

One hour more, huh, Boo Boo?

Ha, ha, ha. Oh, wowee.

It'll be good, you know,
to see the folks in the swamps again.



You have lots of relatives
in the Everglades, Wally?

Lots of relatives? Ha, ha, ha.

I got scads of them there.

Because that's gator country.

Captain Yogi, look out.

It's a flying lamp.

Hey. It's a crackpot flying a teapot.

(YELLING)

YOGI:
Hard aport.

I'll settle for any port.

Anybody get that sky hog's license?

I enjoy going for a spin,
but this is ridiculous.

What a greedy guy.

He wants the whole sky.

(LAUGHING)

Who is that character, anyway?

There's only one person
it could be, Huck.

The Greedy Genie.

YOGI & HUCKLEBERRY:
The Greedy Genie?

The greediest, grabbiest,
pushiest guy there ever was.

And if he gets you in his power,
he'll make you greedy too.

All right, you guys.

Let's scram and take it on the lam.

Before that genie gets back.

Boo Boo, what's our position?

It's mostly swamp down there, Yogi,
except for a little place called Hobo Corners.

Hobo Corners?

Hey, hey, let's head that way.

What's so special
about Hobo Corners, captain?

YOGI: That's where my old pal,
Smiley the hobo, has his winter shack.

A guy who'd give you
the shirt right off his you-know-what.

BOO BOO: Think he'd mind
all us folks dropping in on him?

Mind? Hee-hee.

Smiley has a million friends,
because he loves company.

(LAUGHING)

Hey, hey, there's our course.

We follow those railroad tracks,
and they lead straight to Smiley's place.

This is it.

Well, sure don't look like much.

It's not what you own
that makes you happy, Huck.

It's what you have inside.

Okay, um, let's see the inside.

Heavens to wait a minute.
Yogi doesn't mean in there.

He means in here.

Oh. Hm.

It'll be good to see old Smiley again.

(RATTLING)

I haven't seen him
since I don't know when.

Yogi, my old friend.

An astonishing surprise.

Hi, Smiley.

For an old pal,
you look better than the average.

- Meet my buddies.
- Welcome, one and all.

Yogi, my good bear, what brings you
to a place like Hobo Corners?

We were on our way to the Everglades
when we decided to drop in.

Oh, splendid.

Isn't it a mite lonely around here,
Mr. Smiley?

SMILEY:
Lonely? No.

A train comes through
every once in a while...

...and my hobo friends live up the tracks.

Excuse my ignorance, Mr. Smiley,
but what's a hobo?

A hobo, sir, is a knight of the road.

A traveler of life's byways.

A happy wanderer who follows the sun.

You mean a bum?

Huck, bite your tongue.

SMILEY:
That's all right, my friend.

People often confuse us hobos
with bums.

But hobos are workers.

We earn our keep wherever we go.

(RATTLING)

Ah. My supper guests are here.

Come in, fellas.

Yogi, these are the best friends
I have in the world...

...Vic Vagabond and Billy Bindlestiff.

Put it there, I'm Yogi Bear.

And say howdy-do hello to the crew.

Hi there.

Yogi, how about you
and your gallant crew dining with us?

I don't know. Uh, sure smells good.

SMILEY: Oh, it's just potluck,
but you're welcome to share with us.

Uh, what is it?

SMILEY:
It's shoe stew.

Shoe stew?

Uh, no, old buddy.
We have to get up early...

...to fix up the ark.

Right. We gotta have a shipshape ship
to ship out in shipshape shape.

The old bucket
was shaken up pretty good...

...when some road hog
nearly ran us down.

- He's called the Greedy Genie.
- Yeah.

Keep your eyes peeled
for the Greedy Genie...

...because that's one guy
who's a real meanie.

Well, I'm sorry you can't share our supper.
But come see us again.

We sure will, old buddy.

Come on, crew, there's lots to do.

BOO BOO:
So long.

HUCKLEBERRY:
Goodbye, Mr. Smiley.

SNAGGLEPUSS:
Exit, stage right.

YOGI:
Good morning, Boo Boo, my boy.

How goes the repair work?

BOO BOO: All finished, Yogi.
We've got a shipshape ship again.

That's great, Boo Boo.

Well, we're on our way
to the Everglades today.

This is your captain, men.

Hit the deck, on the double.

And, Huck, you can weigh anchor.

You can weigh the anchor
if you want to, Yogi...

...but I'm gonna tell you
something right now.

It's gotta weigh over a hundred pounds.

Shee....

When a captain says weigh anchor, Huck,
he doesn't mean weigh the anchor.

He means pull it out
of the water so we can sail away.

Oh.

All set for the Everglades, Boo Boo?

Ready to sail, Yogi.

Okay. Ahoy there, engine room.

All engines ahead, one-third.

One-third and jogging,
your admiralship, sir.

YOGI:
What's our position, Boo Boo?

BOO BOO: At normal cruising speed,
I'd say we'll make it in half an hour.

YOGI:
Okay, let's get moving.

Engine room, all engines ahead full.

Keep those bananas coming.

That old engine's really purring along.

SNAGGLEPUSS:
Yogi, watch it.

Genie at 12 o'clock high.

Hey!

It's the Greedy Genie.

Hang on, everybody.

HUCKLEBERRY:
Here we go again.

Shee. Oh, what a guy that genie is.

Where did he go?

What an entrance.

Or should I say, exit.

I saw him dropping down toward the trees.
Looked like he was landing.

- Landing?
- Somewhere back where we came from.

Maybe he's after your pal Smiley.

YOGI:
After Smiley?

Are you kidding, Boo Boo?

What would a Greedy Genie want
with a hobo...

...who has practically nothing?

I don't know.

But maybe we ought
to turn back anyhow for a look-see.

Besides, Wally Gator's folks are all
waiting for us in the Everglades right now.

But, Yogi--

Don't "but Yogi" me, Boo Boo.

The Greedy Genie may be clever and wily,
but not enough to outsmart Smiley.

(LAUGHING)

SMILEY:
Who's there?

Who's there?

I'd thought I heard someone.

That's curious.

Why, it looks like an old oil lamp.

A very old lamp.

(LAUGHS)

- Yes, master.
- Who are you?

I am called the Greedy Genie, O master.

You mean like those Arabian genies
who give you everything you ask for?

Exactly so, master.

I never dreamed
I'd really see one of you fellows.

But here I am, master.
What would you like?

Me? Heh, oh.

Well, I'm afraid
you've come to the wrong man.

I don't want a thing.

What? You refuse my gifts?

Meaning no offense, Mr. Genie...

...but I'm happy here
with my little shack and my friends.

Please come in.

Hmm. I see.

How long has it been
since you had a good steak dinner?

SMILEY:
Oh, I haven't seen a steak for years.

Then observe. Kazotz.

Say, you're a real genie, all right.

Could you make that steak
a little bigger...

...so I could share it
with two of my friends?

Alas, oh, master,
what I can do is only for you.

I can give you
anything your heart desires...

...but you cannot share my gifts
with others.

Oh. So that's why
you're called the Greedy Genie.

Exactly so.

Well, I'll be honest with you.

I've never believed in being greedy.
No, sir.

And what did it get you?

Nothing.

Well, I don't know,
but I'm happy with my life...

...a good home, friends.

Ha, ha, ha. You just think you're happy.

Tell me, what harm
if you but taste this delicious steak...

...and enjoy treating yourself
for a change?

Oh, yeah.

Well, I don't suppose
a good meal could hurt a man.

Ha, ha. Of course not.

Dig in. Enjoy yourself.

You and I have a lot of work to do.

It won't be long now, Wally,
and you'll be home in the Everglades.

(GIGGLES)

Oh, I can hardly wait
to dive in the old swimming swamp.

How much farther, Boo Boo?

Oh, about 10 miles, I guess.

Hey, Boo Boo, why the long face?

We're going to a happy place.

I know,
but I was just thinking of Smiley again.

Suppose that genie
really did get hold of him?

Boo Boo, will you stop worrying?

Why, I'd bet you anything that old Smiley's
safe at home right now...

...having some, blech, shoe stew.

Ah, delicious. Best steak ever.

Just imagine, Smiley.

With a genie all your own,
you could eat like this forever.

I sure could.

But I really don't need any--

Not so fast, Smiley.

Stop and think.
With me around, you can be a big shot.

Smiley the hobo, a big shot?

Yes, you. You can have fancy clothes.

Kazotz.

And a limousine
with your own chauffeur.

Kazotz.

Why, that's just amazing. My own car.

And your house.

Just look at this miserable place.

Who needs that old couch?

Kazotz.

- Wow.
- We'll trade in this old stove.

Kazotz.

- Gee.
- More?

Well, I-- I--

More, more.

Ha, ha, ha. Like what?

- Uh, a new chair.
- A new chair? Ha, ha, ha.

Why not a throne?

Kazotz.

Fabulous.

GENIE:
And how about a new bed fit for a king?

Kazotz.

SMILEY:
Fantastic.

GENIE:
And a little more light on the subject.

Kazotz.

More, more, more.

(RATTLING)

A new doorbell, give me a doorbell.

GENIE:
Kazotz.

(RINGS)

I'll get the door.

Say, pal, what's happening?

Where'd you get all this classy stuff?

And who's that?
Is he with a circus or something?

SMILEY:
Oh, uh, he's a very good friend of mine.

Look, fellas, would you mind
coming back some other time?

- We're busy.
- Busy?

Oh, oh, busy.

In that case, we'll only stay a minute.

Look, fellas, don't misunderstand.

Oh, we understand, all right.
Don't we, Billy?

We sure do.

In that case....

Fellas, I'm really much too busy to see you,
but the butler will show you to the door.

The butler?

GENIE:
Kazotz.

- I'm getting out of here.
- Hey, wait for me.

That will be all, my good man.

And now, Genie, where were we?

Ah, yes.
This shack is really much too small.

I think I'd like something more my style.

A palace.

A palace it shall be.

Kazotz.

(GENIE LAUGHING)

Yogi, how much farther
to the good old Everglades?

We're almost there, aren't we, Boo Boo?

That's right, Yogi.

You'll soon
be home in gator country, Wally.

(GIGGLING)

I'm so excited.

My mama always said, be it ever so humble,
there's no place like a swamp.

Yeah, you could say that again.

SNAGGLEPUSS:
Captain Yogi. Captain Yogi.

What is it, Snagglepuss? What's wrong?

It's a....

(PANTING)

It's an SOS.

Let me see. It says:

(YOGI READING ON-SCREEN TEXT)

How about that?

I knew it, I knew it.

What about the Everglades?

Later, alligator.

Stand by, all hands, to come about.

Smiley's in trouble
and we gotta get him out.

Hard to starboard.

Full speed ahead.

Boy, are we flying.

We should be over Smiley's about now.

Okay, Boo Boo.

Do you see Smiley's shack yet?

You wouldn't believe
what I see down there, Yogi.

Come here.

How about that? What a sight.

It's the Greedy Genie's work, all right.

Okay, crew, let's play it cool.

We're gonna land in Smiley's pool.

(BELLS TOLLING)

Heavens to Big Ben.

Who may I say is calling?

Yogi Bear, that's who. And hurry.

The master is quite busy.
Have you an appointment?

Appointment? We're his friends.

And it's an emergency.

So start butling, butler.

Wait here.

Yes?

Hi, old buddy. It's Yogi and crew.

We've come to rescue you.

Rescue me?

Really, fellas,
I have no time to waste with you now.

What do you mean?
We're your old friends.

I'm much too busy
with my new friend, the Greedy Genie.

He's your friend?

You heard the master.

- It's the genie.
- Now get out.

And don't let me
catch you around here again.

Shee.

What a terrible temper that genie has.

What will we do now, Yogi?

Looks like old Smiley is a goner for sure.

Well, I, uh....

Hey, Boo Boo, what's wrong?

BOO BOO:
I'm all right, Yogi.

It's just that it's so sad
when you lose a friend.

Ah. If I were king--

- But most of all, if I were rich....
GENIE: Hmm?

What's this? What's this?

I know what I want,
everything in the world.

There'll never be enough.

(CHUCKLES)

Can it be?
Somebody who's as greedy as me?

Would you really like to be a rich man?

The richest. Why fool around?

But don't you think
you're being a bit, shall we say, greedy?

Well, of course, dear fella, of course.

If you're gonna be greedy,
I say be greedy.

Grab it all. Everything there is.

Oh, you're so right, so right.

Make a wish, O greedy one,
and I'll make that wish come true.

- Only one?
- Ah.

But you are greedy.
Make all the wishes you like.

That's better.

First, I'd like a million dollars.

Kazotz. Done. What next?

SNAGGLEPUSS:
This palace, I want it.

This palace?

But I gave it to Smiley. It's his.

I don't care who you gave it to, I want it.

Such greed.
Such beautiful, terrible greed.

The palace is yours.

Kazotz.

And now I want
everything else you gave Smiley.

His clothes,
his butler, his swimming pool.

What? Huh? Wha...?

What's happening around here?

All my beautiful things.

My throne.

My suit.

Oh, no. Genie.

Now I want a million dollars in diamonds.

And $2 million worth of pearls.

And $3 million worth of emeralds.

More, more, more.

I tell you, Boo Boo,
there's something weird going on.

That swimming pool
just changed back into swamp water.

And look out there.

There's Smiley's shack again
where his palace was.

Maybe we better go see him.

Looks like his genie buddy
left him in the lurch.

(CANS RATTLING)

Just a second. Oh.

Hello, fellas. Come in.

Gosh, Smiley.

What happened? I'm sorry.

Sorry? Don't be, old friend. I'm not.

- You're not?
SMILEY: No.

- But I've learned a hard lesson.
- What do you mean, Smiley?

I've learned that whatever
is given to you in life can be taken away.

And that it's terribly,
terribly foolish to be greedy.

Besides, there's one thing I lost
that no genie could give me.

- What's that?
- The love and respect of my friends.

Oh, gosh, Smiley, you never lost us.

We're still your friends,
and so are Vic and Billy too.

Thank you. Thank you.

But maybe we've lost someone else.

Snagglepuss. He's not around.

And $50 million worth of rubies.

Fifty million?
I'll be up all night finding 50 million.

Well, all right, forget the rubies.

I only got one more wish for tonight.

Only one more? What is it?

I want you to take everything back.

Did you say take everything back?

Certainly.

What do you think I am, greedy?

Oh, no.

Well, old buddy, we'd better get going.
I'm worried about Snagglepuss.

Snagglepuss.

Where have you been?

I've been appearing at the palace...

...giving the finest performance
of my theatrical career.

Performance?

I played the role
of the greediest man in the world...

...and got the genie interested in me
instead of Smiley.

- But how did you get away?
- Simplicity itself.

By giving everything back
that the genie gave me.

- I don't understand, Snag.
SMILEY: I do.

If you're not really greedy...

...the Greedy Genie
loses all his power over you.

Gosh.
I wonder what that genie is gonna do now.

Well, when I left him...

...he was getting ready
for the world's biggest garage sale.

(LAUGHING)

Now are we going
to the ever-loving Everglades, Yogi?

That's right, Wally,
gator country coming up.

Woo-hoo. I'm so excited.

Say, Wally, by the by,
do they have a theater there?

Theater? For alligators? Ha, ha, ha.

Forget it.

Bad, too bad.

Three bad even.

I might have given those gators
a little culture, a little Snagglespeare.

To be greedy or not to be greedy,
that is the question.

We have the answer.

Stop stepping on my lines.

(LAUGHING)

Hey, come on, everybody,
let's join Yogi's gang.
