Bunyan and Babe Page #5

They're planes.

So many changes.

I think we're going to have to

say goodbye to you kids now.

We're heading out

at daybreak, babe.

Why do you have to go so early?

What's the matter?

I suppose you can

say I'm a little...

"Freaked out".

Oh, for crying out loud.

Are you kidding me?

This is like trying to

sleep in a lumber mill

with all that snoring.

Ah.

Pretty lights.

Wow.

What a sight.

Is that beautiful or what?

I mean it looks like a field

of fireflies doesn't it?

Oh!

Huh.

Good evening ladies.

Say is that the town of

delbert, because if it is-- boy

I haven't been there in, hm,

must be 100 some odd years.

And back then it

was nothing more

than a dirt road and a couple

of little wooden shacks.

So that you ladies

live around here?

Yeah, you know I'm just

in for the night myself.

I've got a nice place

to stay over there

on the other side of

the hill, and-- hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Oh.

So sorry.

Beg your pardon.

I didn't mean to disturb you.

I'm just going to

leave you in peace, ok?

I'm going to go.

Ok.

This is not going to end well.

Be reasonable, litttle fella!

Come on, it was an accident.

Ow!

Oh!

Watch the horns!

Oh, hey!

Oh, whoa!

Oh, whoa!

Keep running.

Just keep running.

Ah, sweet mercy.

Sweet angels of mercy.

Ah.

Must.

Drink.

Now.

Hey, has, uh-- has

anyone seen the cabbage?

Oh, Walter, you're

forgetting yourself.

You already loaded it.

What?

You loaded it.

You loaded it!

Paul?

All right.

You kids run around, have fun.

Grandma and me will

get the cabbage

entered in the competition

and meet up with you later.

Whitney, I need

you to cover for me.

What are you talking about?

It's Paul.

He was supposed to

leave a dawn, right?

But I heard him whistle for

babe just as we were leaving,

which means he's still

here and may be in trouble.

Travis, if he's in

trouble, what are you

supposed to do about it?

He's Paul bunyan and you're 12.

Please, Whitney?

Thanks.

Paul!

Travis?

I thought you were

supposed to be at the fair.

I heard your whistle.

Is everything ok?

What are you doing?

Looking for prints.

Babe's disappeared.

What?

It looks like he's

been gone for hours.

I'll help you find him.

That's all right,

it's not your problem.

Yes it is.

If it weren't for me, you

wouldn't be here right now

and babe wouldn't be missing.

You know what?

I'm helping you look for him

and you can't talk me out of it.

What in the world?

Oh my.

You know, I've been thinking.

If I'm going to perform a

mass hypnotism of this scale,

an increase in my

fee is in order.

What are you talking about?

I'm already paying you more

than you make in five years.

What more could you want?

Equal partnership.

Equal?

Equal?

Ha!

Be serious.

What is it, Iris?

Excuse me, sir, but I think

you should see something.

You are this close to

being fired, Iris, it better

be something big.

What the heck is that thing?

How shall I know?

Some sort of farm

creature, no doubt.

Is it alive?

Regrettably, yes.

It's ok, you're

going to be fine.

Iris, call someone.

Have them cart this

thing off my property.

But sir, I think he needs a vet.

I don't care.

Just get rid of it.

Go!

That is the biggest

ass I have ever seen.

What did you say?

Just-- that's a big ass.

What?

Hmm?

Oh.

Yeah, yeah, right.

Right, it's gigantic.

But I think it's

actually an ox, isn't it?

Wait a minute.

Hold everything.

Iris don't move.

If you even breathe,

you're fired.

I think I've finally got it.

I figured out how we can do it.

This ought to be interesting.

We're talking about this ox.

We're taking this ox

to the county fair.

And why on earth

would we do that?

Because we're going to

prop him up, paint him blue,

and make him an attraction!

We'll say he's babe,

the great blue ox.

This is Minnesota

for crying out loud.

The entire town will

want to check them out,

and they'll all be

at the fair already.

It's perfect!

Yes.

Yes, that might actually work.

Oh, poop.

Over here.

What did you find?

Just what I said.

What?

Poop.

You mean--

yup.

There are his tracks.

Good job, Travis.

Oh, how awful.

Who put that horrible

contraption on you?

People can be so

disappointing sometimes.

Woah!

Boy, that one had

been building up.

Oh!

Oh, boy my stomach

feels like lead.

You can talk.

Well, if I don't have

a dang muzzle on, I can.

Hey, what's going on?

Where I am?

You're at blandsford

development.

Ok.

And how far is that

from Travis' house?

I'm sorry.

I'm afraid I'm not acquainted

with anyone named Travis.

I'm Iris.

Well, pleased to

meet you, Iris.

I'm babe.

Would that be babe,

the great blue ox?

Usually.

You're really you-- i

mean him-- I mean babe?

Well, as far as I know.

But, man, I do not

feel like myself.

What hit me?

Did you drink any of

the water out back?

Yeah, I might have

drank like half of it.

Why?

Because it's toxic.

Poisonous.

Poisonous water.

Huh.

Now I've heard everything.

It is time to go.

Hey, what is going on here?

What's with the chains?

I didn't see those.

Oh, this is terrible.

I'll go get the key.

Will you be ok?

Me?

Oh yeah.

No, I'll be fine.

You know, occasionally i

get a little claustrophobic.

Like right now.

Get me out of here!

Fresh air, fresh air, fresh air.

Well, it's not the freshest

air I've ever tried,

but at least I'm outside.

Quiet, or he'll hear you.

He, who?

I think it's Mr.

blandsford-- my boss.

Once we have all the property,

how soon can we start building?

Stop with the we.

I start building once

the land is cleared.

You will get your

insanely huge paycheck

and go back to whatever

dump you live in.

How long will it take

to clear the land?

I don't know.

Six months or so.

Why?

Can't it happen more quickly?

I was thinking something

like this might help.

You need to go find

my friend, Paul.

Paul?

Paul bunyan?

He's probably out there

looking for me right now.

And boy, is he going to

be mad when he finds me!

Where's the axe?

Huh?

Oh no.

No, no, no, no.

This is not good-- not good.

This is not good at all.

You need to go find

Paul right away.

This is not good.

Yes.

Ok.

You just tell me where he is.

How do I find him?

You know how to

whistle, don't you?

That's it.

She's definitely fired.

Oh no you don't.

Where is my dart gun?

Ah, there it is.

Ha, ha!

Oh, yeah, baby.

I still got it.

Ow, who shot my a-- oh.

You shot him?

Quit your crying.

It's just a tranquilizer dart.

I had to subdue him, didn't I?

And how are we supposed to

move him in that condition?

He must weigh a ton.

Relax.

I've got just what we need.

If memory serves me,

there's a good view

from the top of this hill.

We should be able

to see for miles.

What's that over there?

I think that's the company

my grandma's protesting.

I wish I was as

big as you, Paul.

Why?

So I could do big things

like lift up a train

or jump a building

like a superhero,
