Shh! Shh!

The story you are about to see

has been told before. A lot.

And now we are going to tell it again.

But different.

It's about two star-crossed lovers

kept apart by a big feud.

No one knows how this feud started,

but it's all quite entertaining.

Unfortunately, before we begin,

there is a rather long, boring prologue,

which I will read to you now.

"Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona...

...where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge

break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood

makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins

of these two foes..."

Ah, Miss Montague,

out you come to ruin my day.

My, that's a hideous cardigan,

Mr. Capulet. It suits you.

Wizened old hag.

You crumbly old codger.

Oh, great.

No, this way!

Whoa!

I got one! I got one!

I got one! I got one!

Winston! Throw us the ball!

Huh?

Huh?

Tybalt!

Oh, those Blues are at it again.

Top of the morning,

Lord Redbrick!

Lady Bluebury.

Your tulips are looking a little limp

this year, aren't they?

Oh! I don't like

what you're incinerating.

The proper word is "insinuating."

Illiterate.

I am not illiterate!

My parents were married!

Benny! Come on. Let's go give those Reds

another lesson on how it's done.

Yeah.

Shroom, all clear?

Gnomeo! Gnomeo!

- Gnomeo! It's your mum!

- Huh? Oh, no!

Just get this out into the alley!

I'll catch up with you.

- OK, OK.

- Gnomeo...

Mum! Have you ever seen our beautiful,

beautiful garden from this angle?

Oh, yes. Especially the wisteria.

That tree was your father's

pride and joy.

May he rest in pieces.

Oh, how you remind me of him.

Oh. Which is why I wanted to say...

- I know. I know. My chores.

- Gnomeo...

Edging, trimming, planting, pruning.

Consider it all done.

- I wanted to say...

- Done, done. It's done like I did it.

- Gnomeo!

- Done.

All I wanted to say was "good luck."

Thanks, Mum.

Go out there and show them we Blues

are better than any Red!

Red. I hate the word.

Wow!

A Cupid's Arrow orchid!

Oh! Juliet!

Huh? Oh! Whoa!

Oh.

Hiya, Dad!

You won't believe what I found!

Do you want to get smashed?

Aflower that will put that Blue garden

to shame, just across the alley.

This feud business

is none of your concern.

And as leader of this garden,

it's up to me to...

Uh, I am a Red, after all.

Oh, you're just as impulsivated

as your mother was. Bless her to bits.

Now, back where you belong.

I can't just stay tucked away

on this pedestal all my life.

Don't you see?

When will you realize you're delicate?

I'm not delicate!

She's definitely not delicate.

Stubborn girl.

Right.

Delicate? Hmm!

I'll show him who's delicate.

Gnomeo! Gnomeo!

Tybalt, go!

Tybalt, go! Tybalt, go!

Gnomeo! Gnomeo! Gnomeo!

Tybalt, go! Tybalt, go! Tybalt, go!

Gnomeo!

OK, boys, y'all know the rules,

and I don't need to repeat them.

But I'm gonna, because I wanna.

And here they are:

No biting, no scratching,

no kicking, no burping,

no slurping, no cussing, no squalling,

no rassling, no heeing, no hawing,

and more than anything, no cheating!

No cheating? Hey, that's not fair!

- Gnomeo! Gnomeo! Gnomeo!

- On your marks! Get set!

- Sucker!

- Go, go, go!

Huh?

Aah!

Whoa!

No!

Gnomeo! Gnomeo! Gnomeo!

Tybalt, go! Tybalt, go!

You're the greatest, boss.

The greatest by far.

The greatest! The greatest by far!

Oh! Please, please, my friends.

Tell me something I don't already know.

A cheat! A cheat! That's what you are!

A cheat! A cheat! That's what you are!

Well, Benny, I didn't think

it was possible,

but your mouth is getting

even bigger than your hat!

Tybalt! You just crossed the line!

Yeah! The finish line!

Adios, loser!

Hey! Come on out and fight

like a gnome!

- Flower boy won't come out!

- What's he gonna do?

- You better do something!

- He can't get away with that!

Show him! Show him! Come on!

Well, if he won't come out,

I guess we'll just have to go in.

The Red garden?

No one's ever been in there!

Then I'd say

it's about time someone did.

And payback is going to be fun.

Shroom, let's go kick some grass.

This mission into Red garden territory

is going to require maximum stealth.

Well, you won't get much

stealthier than this.

Hello!

I got one.

I got one.

Swim away. Be free.

Oh! Thank you.

I got one.

All this

for some daffy flower.

Yes. It's the only way I'll ever

be taken seriously around here.

And I'm gonna need you to cover,

Nanette.

If my dad asks, just tell him

I'm washing my hair.

"I'm washing my hair."

I don't have hair!

He'll know it's a lie!

- No, my hair!

- Got it! I'm washing your hair!

OK, OK, whatever you say. I'll be quick.

Out! Out!

Damn, Spot!

Over here, boy!

Wow! That was quick!

I'm too easy to see.

I'm gonna need some kind of disguise.

Ooh! A new outfit! I'm on it.

Here. That is cute.

Give us a turn.

Nice junk in the trunk.

Now, go get your flower.

Uh... Maybe a tad less fluorescent pink?

How much less?

Try black.

Huh?

Trust me. Nobody is going

to pay you any attention in that.

Then it's perfect.

Ooh!

I'm going in.

Take care! I'll tell your dad

you're doing your hair!

Let's play a game.

I'm thinking of a movie.

It's one word,

and it starts with, um, "Spider."

Is it Spider-Man?

Oh, you're good. OK.

This is great! I love going commando!

Shh! Now, just keep quiet.

Shh!

OK, I have another one. Two words.

The first word is "Spider-Man."

Spider-Man 2?

OK, who's cheating?

Benny, give me the paint. Benny?

No.

- Benny! Benny!

- Oh!

- Huh?

- Huh?

- Tybalt!

- Get them, you idiots!

Come on, let's go!

Run for it! Now!

- Where did he go?!

- He's in the begonias!

- Well, do I look like a begonia?

- No, more like a pansy.

Find him!

- Not here.

- Not here either.

Nothing but daisies here.

Come on!

Hold on.

- Whoa!

- Whoa!

- Hey, Benny. See you on the other side!

- Gnomeo! No!

Huh?

Hmm?

Huh?

I wish I could stay, but gotta fly.

Whoa-whoa-whoa!

Huh.

# Feet are feelin' light

# Head on out to see the sights

# Ain't life a many splendored thing?

Ducking up and down

All these crazy sights and sounds

# Bounce around

like puppets on a string

# Never gonna find

Anything to change my mind

# Famous last lines of a fool

# Just when you think

You're a chain with just one link

# Something comes

to tip you off of your stool

- # Hello, hello

- # Hello, hello

# My, my, my, what have we here?

# What a surprise

What a surprise

- # Hello, hello

- # Hello, hello

# I'm not alone

It's good to know

# Someone's out there to say hello

# Hello

Um...

You're probably wondering what I'm doing

on the roof of your greenhouse.

It's just I...

Well, I thought no one lived here.

They... don't. I mean, I don't.

This isn't my garden.

Oh, well, that's good because

I just came to get that orchid.

- Oh. This?

- Yes.

I don't know, I think I'm going

to have to keep ahold of this one.

What? But I saw it first,

so why don't you just hand it over.

Well, I grabbed it first.
