Bunyan and Babe Page #6

or not be afraid of the

guys that chased me,

or not be afraid of

the football team.

You don't need to be big to

do big things. Shh.

Babe?

Babe!

Oh!

Excuse me, miss, but why

were you whistling like that?

Oh, babe told me that's

how I could find you.

You're Paul, right?

Of course you are.

You're defnitely

Paul-- Paul bunyan.

That's right.

And this is Travis.

And you are--

uh, hello.

I'm Iris ingram.

Babe wanted me to find you.

He said you'd be out looking

for him and you need the axe.

But I couldn't lift it, and

babe's still chained up.

Hold on.

Slow down.

Babe's chained up?

Yes.

In Mr. blandsford's garage.

We've got to get

him out of there.

Who's Mr. blandsford?

He's my boss.

No he was my boss.

I quit-- not officially,

yet-- but I'm not going back.

I started working

for him a week ago,

but he didn't think I was doing

a good job, even though it

wasn't my fault

that people didn't

want to sell their farms.

I don't blame them.

I like it here, too.

But Mr. blandsford

brought his brother,

and they've been

working together and--

slow down, Iris.

I'm sorry.

Can you take us to babe?

Yes, I can.

Can you take us there now?

Oh, right.

Let's go.

This way.

Having fun, dear?

Oh.

Where's Travis gone to?

He-- um-- uh-- he's

on the tilt-a-whirl.

Yeah.

He really loves it.

All the tilting and

all the whirling.

Well, I'm going to go make

sure he hasn't thrown up.

Bye!

He's gone.

Wh-- this is where they had

him, chained right here.

What happened?

Well, it looks like he

tore the place apart.

Can you think of anywhere

else he might be?

They were going to take

him to the county fair.

Come see babe!

Come see babe!

The great blue ox, in the flesh!

Tonight only!

Get your tickets!

Free tickets!

Babe, the great blue ox.

Get that muzzle on him.

We don't want any blue

haired bitties in hysterics.

Did you get the paint?

Mm-hmm.

Well, get cracking.

Come on.

Blue.

My favorite.

It's all to do with this.

What is it?

It's a mall-- the kind of place

i was telling you about before.

Where you hang out?

Where's the town?

Where's my forest?

They're going to

burn it all down.

Look!

There's my grandparents' farm.

Did your grandparents sell

their farm to this man?

No way.

They would never sell it.

They love living here.

Hardly anybody wants to sell.

Then how is he going to

get everyone's property?

Now, then.

Now, maybelle, if you would

just please sign your name here.

When I snap my fingers,

you are going to wake up.

You will feel proud and

happy to have made this deal.

Zob-key-boz

they're going to

hypnotize them.

That what I saw blackstone

doing at the general store.

He made Mrs. Mundy sign

her store over to him.

That's why he chased me.

If they get everyone

together at the fair,

blackstone can hypnotize

the entire town all at once!

That's why they wanted babe.

Paul, we've got to do something.

Wait.

Have you ever driven

your boss's car before?

I'm going to push you

a little faster, ok?

Not too fast, please.

I usually don't drive.

I'm more of a two-wheel person.

Here we go!

Straight to the fair, Iris!

Now, on to the prizes

for the biggest livestock.

Third prize, for the

fattest pig, goes to--

ladies and gentlemen, allow

me to interrupt, please.

May I have your attention?

Tonight is a night

you'll remember

for the rest of your lives.

Tonight, you will

be part of history.

Your eyes will rest upon

that animal other people only

know as a legend.

Where on earth is Travis?

He wouldn't want to miss this.

I'm sure he'll be here

in a second, grandma.

You will be able to say you saw

this legend in person-- right

here at your little county fair.

Ladies and gentleman,

we present to you--

babe, the great blue ox!

Babe?

Babe!

Babe!

Travis, where are you?

Oh, I don't drive!

I don't have my license!

What's that?

The engine started.

Slow down, hit the brakes.

I can't!

That was the gas pedal.

Oh, it's so much faster and

less dangerous than my bicycle,

but I still can't control it!

Woah!

Right, right, right!

Oh, we're going

so fast, I just--

can we stop for

a bathroom break?

Oh, no!

Slow down.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is

your state's beloved tall tale

come to life.

Look at his magnificent size.

Gaze upon his stature.

Stare at his blue coat.

Stare at it.

Listen to the sound of my voice.

Feel yourself getting sleepy.

Feel your mind fall

under my control.

You've gotta believe us.

It's the truth.

Paul bunyan, you say?

Yes.

He was right behind us.

Didn't you see him?

No.

We need to get to the

fair as soon as possible.

We have to stop the hypnosis.

And we have to help babe.

Babe?

Babe!

The great blue ox, of course.

Heh, heh, heh.

Sign here, here,

and initial here.

Next!

Sign here, here,

and initial here.

Next!

Sign here, here,

and initial here.

Next!

Sign here, here,

and initial here.

Next!

Grandpa!

Sign here, here,

and initial here.

Next!

What are you doing?

Grandma, it's me, Whitney!

What's wrong?

You're making a mistake.

We've got to get to the fair.

Why won't you believe us?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe it's because

bunyan and babe

are tall tales that

haven't been told

since the turn of the

century-- the last century.

Never heard them used to get out

of a speeding ticket, though.

Gotta say, that's a new one.

Wait!

That's him.

That's who?

Oh, there you two are.

Ho.

What do you think you're doing?

I think it's quite clear.

Don't be smart.

Hand them over.

Would you get that cheap

flashlight out of my face.

I'm warning you.

Give me those deeds!

I'm really so sick

of your screaming.

Too many years I've

lived in your shadow,

considered your inferior.

Tonight, it's time

to reveal the truth.

The truth is, I've always

outclassed and outsmarted you,

but you were always too

stupid to realize it.

But unlike you, I'm

a patient person.

But tonight, I will finally

collect my just reward.

Clearly you lack the grace to

carry off my dramatic look.

Still, I don't think anyone

will notice the difference.

Do you?

From now on, Norman, you will

believe yourself to be me

in thought, word and deed.

Tell me you understand, brother.

I understand, brother.

Goodbye, Bob.

Where is everyone?

Travis!

Paul!

Over here, quick!

What's wrong with them?

They're hypnotized.

Oh.

Paul!

Am I glad to see you!

Where are blandsford

and blackstone?

One is over there, and the

other one just took off, Paul.

Sheriff?

I'm on it.

Show me where the

other one went.

Travis-- grandma and grandpa,

they signed over their farm.

What are you doing?

I just need to

remember the word.

What word?

The word blackstone

used to release

Mrs. Mundy from her trance.

I heard him say it, but

i can't remember it.

Woz, seeba, something?

Ugh!

Where's the axe?

Hang on.

Uh, hang on.

Uh, the axe, the axe,

the axe, the axe--

don't tell me.

Ah, come on.

Let me think.

Let me think.

The axe.
