Attack of the Puppet People Page #3

[Sergeant]

IS THAT WESTLEY?

[Sergeant] HOW COME

IT LOOKS JUST LIKE

HER BOYFRIEND?

I MODEL ALL MY DOLLS AFTER

PEOPLE I KNOW AND LIKE.

PEOPLE I LIKE:

TO HAVE NEAR ME.

[Franz] THERE'S NOTHING WRONG

WITH THAT, IS THERE?

[Sergeant] MAY ISEE IT, PLEASE?

[Franz] CERTAINLY.

IT'S LIFELIKE,

ALL RIGHT.

[Franz]

I SHOULD HOPE SO.

BUT I ASSURE YOU,

IT'S ONLY A DOLL.

WATCH.

[Franz] WHAT DID

YOU EXPECT, DEAR?

THEY'RE ONLY MADE

OF PLASTIC.

YOU SEE, HERE'S A WHOLE

CASE FULL OF THEM.

LOOKS LIKE YOUR:

BOYFRIEND KIND OF TOOK A

POWDER, DOESN'T IT?

OKAY. I'LL PUT THROUGH

A TRACER ON HIM, ANYWAY.

BE SEEING YOU.

FEEL FREE TO DROP IN

ANYTIME, SERGEANT.

[Sergeant]

THANK YOU.

YOU WEREN'T THINKING

OF GOING TOO,

WERE YOU, DEAR?

OF COURSE.

PLEASE, DON'T.

IT WOULD MAKE:

ME SO UNHAPPY.

DO YOU REALLY EXPECT

ME TO WORK FOR YOU

AFTER ALL THIS?

I THINK OF YOUR:

PRETTY EYES AND:

YOUR LOVELY VOICE,

AND THE BEAUTIFUL

FLOWERS ON YOUR DESK,

AND I ASK MYSELF,

HOW COULD I EVER

BEAR TO LET YOU GO?

BUT IT'S

IMPOSSIBLE.

NOW WHY DO YOU:

SAY THAT, MY DEAR?

BECAUSE I CAN'T

STAND BEING IN THIS

PLACE ANOTHER MINUTE.

IT'S LOCKED.

OPEN THE DOOR.

IT'S LOCKED. NO, NO!

[Intense, high-pitched drone]

[Franz] BE CAREFUL,

MY DEAR.

YOU AREN'T AFRAID

OF ME, ARE YOU?

WHY, I'M YOUR FRIEND.

[Franz] YOU MUSTN'T FEEL

BAD, MISS REYNOLDS.

IT'S TIME FOR

YOU TO PUT ON:

YOUR NEW CLOTHES.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MEET

YOUR FIANCE DRESSED IN

NOTHING BUT A NAPKIN,

DO YOU?

[Franz] HERE

THEY ARE.

FIRST YOUR TOILET ARTICLES.

[Franz] AND YOUR

STOCKINGS.

AND THE DRESS.

IT'S VERY PRETTY. YOU REMEMBER

YOU SELECTED THIS YOURSELF?

[Franz] YOU WANT TO

MAKE YOURSELF LOOK

NICE, I'M SURE.

YOU'RE GOING TO MEET

BOB. SHALL I HELP YOU?

THAT'S BETTER.

HE'S ONLY ASLEEP,

MISS REYNOLDS.

WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL

A STATE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION.

BOB!

[Franz] BE PATIENT.

HE'LL BE WITH YOU

IN A MINUTE.

THIS FRESH AIR:

WILL REVIVE HIM:

IN NO TIME.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I

ENJOY THESE LITTLE REUNIONS.

[Franz] YOU FUNNY

LITTLE PEOPLE.

I WONDER WHY IT IS YOU

ALWAYS HATE ME SO AT FIRST.

I HAVEN'T REALLY HARMED YOU.

[Franz] YOU GET THE BEST CARE.

I NEVER LET YOU GET

TOO WARM OR COLD,

TOO HUNGRY OR TOO TIRED.

YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL.

THINK.

NO DAILY GRIND,

NO BUDGET PROBLEMS,

NO TAXES OR DEBTS

OR FAMILY TO SUPPORT.

I SEE TO EVERYTHING.

AND IT'S NEVER DULL. YOU SLEEP

AWAY THE BORING HOURS

IN YOUR JARS,

AND WHEN I WAKE YOU,

IT'S ONLY TO HAVE FUN.

TO ENJOY SOME NEW TREAT

I'VE THOUGHT UP FOR YOU.

[Franz] DON'T YOU SEE

HOW FORTUNATE YOU ARE?

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO

ALL THE REST OF YOUR

LITTLE LIVES BUT BE HAPPY.

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK!

CHANGE US BACK:

THE WAY WE WERE!

I LIKE YOU BETTER

THE WAY YOU ARE.

ARE YOU GOING TO

KEEP US THIS SIZE?

ALWAYS.

WHAT HAVE YOU:

DONE TO US?

WOULD YOU REALLY LIKE

TO KNOW? IT'S MY SECRET,

BUT I DON'T THINK

YOU'LL GIVE ME AWAY.

IT'S A VERY SIMPLE

PRINCIPLE, REALLY.

NOTICE HOW THIS:

SLIDE PROJECTOR:

THROWS A VISUAL IMAGE.

I CAN MAKE IT:

ANY SIZE I CHOOSE.

WHEN I PUSH IT CLOSER

TO THE WALL, THE PICTURE

BECOMES SMALLER.

[Franz] BEING OF AN

INQUIRING MIND, I

ASKED MYSELF ONE DAY

IF I COULDN'T DO

THE SAME WITH:

LIVING THINGS.

I REASONED THAT IF

I COULD PASS THEM

THROUGH A DEVICE

SIMILAR IN PRINCIPLE

TO THIS SLIDE PROJECTOR

THEN I WOULD BE ABLE

TO PROJECT THESE

LIVING THINGS:

TO ANY SIZE THAT

I WOULD CHOOSE.

THIS IS THE:

ANSWER I FOUND.

HERE, TOMMY.

TOMMY, TOMMY, TOMMY.

TO PROJECT A COMPLEX

MOLECULAR STRUCTURE

SUCH AS A MAN OR A CAT,

IT'S ONLY NECESSARY

TO CHANGE THEM INTO

ENERGY FIRST.

MUCH AS THE LIGHT

IN THAT SLIDE PROJECTOR.

I SOON FOUND OUT THAT

THE MOST PRACTICAL WAY

TO CAUSE THIS CHANGE

WAS TO BREAK DOWN

THE MOLECULAR STRUCTURE

BY MEANS:

OF HIGH-FREQUENCY VIBRATION.

NOW, WITH THIS TUNING FORK,

I WILL SET UP A SONIC VIBRATION.

JUST AS THE GLASS

DISINTEGRATED THROUGH

THE RESONANT FREQUENCY

SENT OUT BY THIS TUNING

FORK, SO WILL A LIVING

THING DISINTEGRATE

TO ITS RESONANT FREQUENCY.

OF COURSE,

IT'S A MUCH HIGHER FREQUENCY.

THERE YOU ARE, TOMMY.

NOW, WATCH THIS.

ALL RIGHT, KITTY.

I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.

[Intense, high-pitched drone]

NOW, WATCH THE CAT.

YOU REMEMBER TOMMY,

MISS REYNOLDS.

[Franz] HE ALWAYS LIKED YOU.

TAKE HIM.

BEING SO SMALL,

HE MAY FEEL STRANGE AT FIRST.

[Franz] PET HIM.

I MUST GET SOME OF

THE OTHER LITTLE

PEOPLE WHO LIVE WITH ME.

I WANT THEM:

TO MEET YOU.

HELLO, BIG BOY.

WHO'S YOUR FRIEND?

[Franz] MISS REYNOLDS,

MAY I INTRODUCE MISS LANE?

CALL ME GEORGIA.

THEY ALL DO.

GLAD TO MEET YOU,

SALLY. WELCOME TO

THE TOY DEPARTMENT.

[Laurie]

HI, KIDS.

THIS IS LAURIE. SHE'S

A SWELL KID. LAURIE

MEET BOB AND SALLY.

HOW ARE YOU?

HELLO.

GOSH, I'M AWFULLY

SLEEPY. HOW LONG DID HE

PUT ME AWAY THIS TIME?

FOR A COUPLE OF:

MONTHS, ANYHOW.

[Georgia] YOU MISSED

A LOT OF FUN:
A PICNIC

IN A FLOWER BOX, DANCES,

AND A MOONLIGHT:

SWIMMING PARTY:

IN THE SINK.

ALL BECAUSE:

I WOULDN'T

SING FOR HIM.

HI, LAURIE. LONG

TIME, NO SEE.

HI, EVERYBODY.

WELL, HI, STAN.

SAY HELLO TO:

BOB AND SALLY.

[Georgia] AND IF

IT ISN'T MAC! PRIDE

OF THE MARINE CORPS.

MEET BOB:

AND SALLY.

WELL, WELCOME,

STRANGER. THE OLD

FRANZ IS LEARNING

HOW TO PICK 'EM

BETTER ALL THE TIME.

WHEN ARE WE:

GONNA GET THIS:

PARTY ROLLING?

[Georgia] YEAH, LET'S GO!

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

WE GOT A NEW ARRIVAL

HERE TO CELEBRATE.

I HAVE SOME:

REFRESHMENTS FOR

OUR LITTLE PARTY.

A PETIT FOUR.

A KNIFE TO CUT IT WITH.

SOME TINY LITTLE CUPS

AND SAUCERS.

AND A MINIATURE BOTTLE

OF CHAMPAGNE.

[Franz] PLEASE

HELP YOURSELVES.

I'M AFRAID I'M A LITTLE

TOO CLUMSY TO SERVE MY GUESTS

WHEN THEY'RE AS SMALL AS YOU.

[Georgia] OH, BOY. GREAT!

[Mac] THIS IS FOR YOU.

A TOAST TO THE NEW

MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY,

SALLY AND BOB.

[Laurie] ARE YOU

TWO ENGAGED?

SAY, WHEN'S

THE WEDDING:

GOING TO BE?

YOU'D BETTER ASK HIM.

POOR BOB AND SALLY.

[Franz] THERE'S NO

ONE YOUR SIZE WHO

CAN MARRY YOU.

I'LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO

ABOUT IT, SOMETIME.

STOP! ALL OF YOU STOP!

HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM?

CALL FOR HELP, RUN,

DO SOMETHING,

ANYTHING BUT THIS!

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH

HER, ANYWAY? I GOT

USED TO THIS SIZE

IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES.

BELIEVE ME, BROTHER,

I KIND OF LIKE IT.

I AIN'T NEVER

HAD IT SO EASY:

IN MY LIFE.

LOOK AT IT:

THIS WAY.

WE'RE IN A JAM,

AND WE HAVE TO MAKE

THE BEST OF IT FOR

THE TIME BEING.

I KNOW HOW SHE:

FEELS. I TOOK IT

PRETTY HARD, TOO.

BUT WE SOMETIMES

HAVE TO DO THINGS WE DON'T WANT

JUST TO HAVE SOME

FREEDOM LIKE THIS.

LISTEN, HE DROPS A

CAPSULE IN YOUR JARS

TO PUT YOU TO SLEEP.

[Mac] DON'T BREATHE ANY OF IT.

[Stan] PIPE DOWN,

HE'S COMING BACK.

COME ON, BABY,

LET'S GO.

[Mac] ROCK IT!

NOW, LAURIE, YOU

MUST SING FOR US.

NO. I DON'T

WANT TO SING.

[Franz] BUT YOU WILL, MY DEAR,

OR BACK IN THE BOTTLE YOU GO.

YOU'RE A DOLLY,

YOU'RE A DOLLY

YOU'RE SO CUTE AND LOVELY,

DEAREST LITTLE DOLL

SAY YOU WANT ME:

TO BE NEAR YOU:

TO BE YOURS FOREVER MORE,
