Attack of the Puppet People Page #4

MY LITTLE DOLL:

YOU'RE SO PRECIOUS,

YOU'RE SO DARLING

YOU'RE ALL THAT I COULD WANT,

A LIVING DOLL:

NEVER LEAVE ME,

DON'T DECEIVE ME

STAY WITH ME FOREVER MORE,

MY LIVING DOLL:

NEVER LEAVE ME,

DON'T DECEIVE ME

[Doorbell rings]

STAY WITH ME FOREVER MORE,

MY LIVING DOLL:

[Knock on door]

YES?

I WAS PASSING BY AND SAW

THE LIGHT IN YOUR WINDOW.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE LONESOME,

SO I DROPPED IN. YOU MIND?

THAT WAS KIND OF

YOU, EMIL. HOW DID

YOUR OPENING NIGHT GO?

WONDERFUL,

WONDERFUL.

COME AND SIT DOWN

AND I'LL TELL YOU

ALL ABOUT IT.

LET ME PUT THINGS

AWAY, HUH?

BUT IT WILL ONLY

TAKE ONE MINUTE.

YOU MUST HEAR WHAT

HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.

COME. SIT DOWN.

FIRST OF ALL,

EVERYBODY WAS THERE.

BUT EVERYBODY!

HE'S GOT SOMEBODY

OUTSIDE.

THE TELEPHONE.

THE POLICE.

DOES ANYBODY:

KNOW THEIR NUMBER?

I SHOULD REMEMBER.

I CALLED THEM:

JUST YESTERDAY.

[Bob] HURRY UP.

POLICE DEPARTMENT.

POLICE DEPARTMENT!

WE'RE AT DOLLS INCORPORATED!

FIFTH FLOOR OF:

THE TILFORD BUILDING!

PLEASE HURRY!

POLICE DEPARTMENT!

ANYBODY ON THIS LINE?

HE CAN'T HEAR ME.

IT'S THE MUSIC.

BUT IF WE STOP IT,

FRANZ IS SURE:

TO COME BACK.

TILFORD BUILDING!

FIFTH FLOOR! DOLLS INCORPORATED!

ANYBODY ON THIS LINE?

HELP! HELP!

HELP!

WHAT'S THE USE?

NOBODY CAN HEAR:

LITTLE PEOPLE LIKE US.

ISN'T IT AWFUL

TO THINK:

THERE ARE PEOPLE

ALL AROUND US,

AND WE CAN'T EVEN

GET THROUGH TO THEM.

AND THEN, RIGHT AFTER

THE FIRST ACT, WHO DO

YOU SUPPOSE CAME--

EMIL, I SIMPLY

HAVE TO GO NOW.

NOW WAIT A MINUTE,

FRANZ. WAIT.

YOU DON'T KNOW

WHO CAME BACKSTAGE

TO CONGRATULATE ME.

JUST A MINUTE. I HAVE

TO TAKE CARE OF:

THE RECORD PLAYER.

THERE, YOU SEE.

THE RECORD PLAYER

TAKES CARE OF ITSELF.

COME ON, LET ME

FINISH IT. FRANZ,

LISTEN. I TELL YOU,

IT WAS LIKE THE:

GOOD OLD DAYS:

IN BRUSSELS.

NOW, WILL YOU GUESS

THE NAME OF THE PARTY

WHO CAME BACKSTAGE?

TRY, TRY.

I CAN'T GUESS.

YOU TELL ME.

[Bob] THE MACHINE.

I WAS WONDERING IF

WE COULD GO THROUGH

IT THE OTHER WAY

AND COME OUT:

OUR RIGHT SIZE.

HE SAID IT WORKS

LIKE A PROJECTOR.

I'LL BET I COULD

FIGURE OUT THE CONTROLS.

IT MAY NOT BE A GOOD

IDEA TO FOOL WITH IT.

YOU MIGHT GET KILLED.

I DON'T CARE. I'M

WILLING TO RISK IT.

I AM, TOO. WHO

WOULDN'T BE?

WELL, ONE'S ENOUGH.

IT ONLY TAKES ONE

OF US TO GO FOR HELP.

[Bob] SHALLWE TRY IT?

[All] YEAH.

HOLD IT, YOU'RE LIVING

DOLLS, BUT I WAS ONE

OF HIS FIRST PUPPETS.

I DESERVE THE:

RIGHT TO BE THE:

GUINEA PIG. OKAY?

ALL RIGHT, MAC.

IF THAT'S THE

WAY YOU WANT IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT:

CAN HAPPEN IF:

I MAKE A MISTAKE.

COME ON,

LET'S GO.

IF IT WORKS,

YOU'LL NEED

CLOTHES.

I'M PRETTY SURE HE

KEEPS OUR OLD ONES

IN THAT CLOSET.

[Stan] THAT'S RIGHT.

I SAW HIM HANG:

MINE UP IN THERE.

WELL, COME ON.

LET'S GO.

YOU THREE GIRLS BETTER

STAY UP HERE. I'LL

WORK THE CONTROLS.

STAN, YOU GO TO THE

DOOR AND KEEP AN EYE

OUT FOR FRANZ.

[Stan] JUST A MINUTE.

[Bob] THERE YOU GO.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

[Intense, high-pitched drone]

HOW SPLENDID FOR YOU.

SO, I SAID TO MYSELF,

I SAID, "AT LAST I'M

BEING APPRECIATED."

I COULD HAVE WEPT

FOR HAPPINESS, FRANZ.

AND I AM HAPPY FOR YOU.

MAY I GO NOW?

I SHOULDN'T DETAIN

YOU LIKE THIS, SHOULD

I? YOU GO ON AND...

I HAVE TO BE ALONE IN THIS KIND

OF WORK. YOU UNDERSTAND?

[Stan] HOLD IT!

WHY DON'T YOU GO

AND DO WHAT:

YOU HAVE TO DO:

AND I'LL TALK TO YOU

WHILE YOU WORK?

NO, NO. I'D RATHER

GIVE YOU MY UNDIVIDED

ATTENTION, OLD FRIEND.

SO TELL ME,

WHAT HAPPENED THEN?

OKAY.

WE'D BETTER GET BACK.

WHAT ABOUT A NIGHTCAP

WITH ME, HUH?

I ONLY WISH:

I COULD.

SO, LUNCH TOMORROW

THEN, HUH?

CERTAINLY. I'LL CALL

FOR YOU ABOUT NOON.

EXCELLENT. EXCELLENT.

I SUPPOSE THERE'S

NOTHING MORE FOR US TO

SAY BUT GOODNIGHT, HUH?

LET'S BE BOLD AND

GET IT OVER WITH.

GOODNIGHT.

[Mac] COME ON, STAN.

YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH FUN

FOR TONIGHT. COME TO BED

QUICKLY NOW. IT'S TIME.

[Doorbell rings]

COME IN.

SERGEANT, HOW ARE YOU?

FINE, MR. FRANZ.

YOU DON'T MIND IF

I GO ON WITH MY:

WORK, DO YOU?

I'M SHORTHANDED

AND I'VE FALLEN

WAY BEHIND.

I NOTICE YOU'RE

ADVERTISING FOR:

ANOTHER SECRETARY.

YES, IT'S QUITE A

PROBLEM KEEPING:

HELP THESE DAYS.

HOW'D YOU HAPPEN TO

LOSE SALLY REYNOLDS?

SHE WENT TO ST. LOUIS,

I BELIEVE. HER FIANCE

LIVES THERE, YOU KNOW.

WELL, I COULD HAVE

SAVED HER THE TRIP.

WHY? HAVE YOU

NEWS OF HIM?

WELL, HE DIDN'T

SHOW UP AT HOME,

AND WE'VE BEEN ASKED

TO DO MORE SOME MORE

CHECKING ON HIM HERE.

HOW STRANGE. WHAT DO

YOU SUPPOSE COULD HAVE

BECOME OF HIM?

WELL, THAT'S WHA I CAME TO ASK YOU.

[Doorbell rings]

MISTER, CAN YOU FIX MY DOLLY?

WILL YOU EXCUSE ME?

TAKE CARE OF YOUR

CUSTOMER. I'LL JUST

LOOK AROUND.

WELL, LET'S SEE

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU.

[Franz] TELL ME,

WHAT'S YOUR DOLLY'S NAME?

[Little Girl] SUSIE.

SHE GOT RUN OVER.

OH, DEAR, DEAR.

HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

SHE RAN OUT IN THE STREET

WHILE I WASN'T LOOKING.

THAT WASN'T NICE

OF HER, WAS IT?

SHE'S A BAD DOLLY.

YOU KNOW, YOU OUGHT

TO SPANK HER WHEN

SHE DISOBEYS.

I DO, BUT IT DOESN'T

SEEM TO DO ANY GOOD.

ARE YOUR DOLLIES

LIKE THAT?

THEY DO GET RATHER

HEADSTRONG SOMETIMES.

[Sergeant] MR. FRANZ?

WHAT'S IN HERE?

[Franz] JUST A WORKROOM.

WELL, MAY SEE IT, PLEASE?

THERE'S NOTHING THERE

THAT WOULD INTEREST

YOU, SERGEANT.

I GO THERE:

WHENEVER I'M LONELY.

I WOULD LIKE TO:

SEE IT. MAY I HAVE

THE KEY, PLEASE?

THANK YOU.

YOU HAVE:

SO MANY DOLLIES.

THEY MUST GIVE YOU

LOTS OF TROUBLE.

YES, BUT THEY'RE NICE.

I NEVER GET LONELY

AND THAT MAKES UP FOR IT.

[Little Girl] LOOK!

ISN'T THAT CUTE?

[Little Girl] CAN I HAVE IT?

NO, DEAR. NO, NO.

PLEASE. WHY NOT?

EVERYBODY WOULD:

WANT TO KNOW:

WHERE YOU GOT IT.

YOU KNOW, GROWNUPS

ASK SO MANY:

AWKWARD QUESTIONS.

BETTER GIVE IT TO ME.

DON'T TAKE IT AWAY

FROM ME. I WANT IT.

WHAT DO YOU CALL

THIS THING IN HERE?

YOU CAN PLAY WITH IT

UNTIL I GET BACK.

OH, THAT? WHAT DOES

IT LOOK LIKE TO YOU?

YOU GOT ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT:

A PHOTOGRAPHIC ENLARGER

IS, DON'T YOU?

WELL, THIS WORKS

JUST THE OPPOSITE.

I USE IT TO MAKE

MODELS OF PEOPLE.

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE

TO SEE HOW IT WORKS?

SOME OTHER TIME.

I'VE GOT TO BE

RUNNING ALONG.

WHAT YOU GOT THERE,

LITTLE GIRL? LET'S SEE.

A TAPE RECORDING INSIDE.

[Franz] DO YOU LIKE IT?

[Little Girl] UH-HUH.

CAN I HAVE IT?

NO. BUT YOU CAN COME

AND PLAY WITH IT

ANYTIME YOU LIKE.

AND THE CAT?

YES. THAT, TOO.

ABOUT THOSE MISSING

PEOPLE, I'LL BE CHECKING

WITH YOU LATER.

I DO HOPE:

YOU FIND THEM:

SOON, SERGEANT.

THANK YOU.

BYE, HONEY.

NOW, I'LL FIX

YOUR DOLLY.

THIS IS ONE OF:

THE BEST PUPPETS

YOU EVER HAD, EMIL.

IT'S ONE OF THE BEST

JEKYLL AND HYDES

THERE EVER WAS.

IT WAS MADE BY SCHWARTZ,

IN THE GOOD OLD:

DAYS IN PRAGUE.

BUT A FUNNY THING,

EVERY TIME THE CUE

COMES FOR JEKYLL

TO CHANGE INTO HYDE,

NOTHING HAPPENS.

DID YOU BRING ME

BACK HERE AT:

THIS LATE HOUR:

BECAUSE YOUR STAR PUPPET

WAS A LITTLE TEMPERAMENTAL?

PLEASE, FRANZ.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND

MY PREDICAMENT.

THERE ARE ONLY THREE

PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
