Gremlins 2: The New Batch

---

Stop the music!

- What's up, duck?

- What's up?! I'll tell you what's up.

I'm taking charge here,

that's what's up.

Fifty years of you hogging

the spotlight is enough.

I am riding the shield from now on...

...because I, personally,

have all the talent around here.

Okay, mac, let's take it from the top.

Okay, far enough.

Now then. Camera! Music! Sound!

Very funny.

You may expect to hear

from my attorneys.

If I'm not gonna star in this cartoon,

let's just start the movie.

Roll 'em!

Mr. Wing?

Daniel Clamp would like

to speak to you.

Good morning, Mr. Wing.

Let's cut right to key issues, okay?

I'll increase my offer substantially.

You're attached to your business.

I appreciate that.

I'm attached to mine. I develop

the biggest buildings in New York.

And you sell...

... little things.

That's fine. Take a look.

"The Clamp Chinatown Centre,

where business gets Oriented. "

You're the only holdout.

Here's what I'll do for you:

A newsstand and souvenir concession

in the atrium.

This building will be modern...

... from voice-activated elevators

to self-cleaning ashtrays.

I'm really excited about it,

and I'd hate to see you miss out.

Please, let us know

when you've made a decision.

You know, I believe there's

always an area of agreement...

... that two people can reach.

Yes. A man can always

agree with others.

It is more difficult

to agree with oneself.

That's very charming.

Confucius...

...or Bruce Lee?

I'm sorry. Please tell Mr. Clamp...

...that the answer is still no.

Please...

...keep the TV.

TV!

Rambo.

To survive a war,

you gotta become war.

Television again.

An invention for fools!

I'm sorry that didn't work out.

Mr. Clamp's offer was generous.

Did you hear that cough?

He's an antique.

We can wait.

I'm Daniel Clamp.

No New York visit is complete...

... without touring the world's

most automated building:

Clamp Premiere Regency

Trade Centre and Retail Concourse.

Headquarters of Clamp Enterprises...

... and CCN, Clamp Cable Network.

Mr. Wing's death removes

the last obstacle...

... to developer Daniel Clamp's

long-delayed project.

This quaint shop, which once

housed rare Oriental objects...

... now makes way for the future,

Daniel Clamp style.

Lewis, it's like I've always said:

"If you want to find something weird,

you have to go downtown."

The Futtermans come to town tomorrow.

Mr. Futterman must be better

if he can travel.

His wife says he is better.

He was just rattled.

Having monsters drive a snowplow

through your house will do that.

Well, he was almost killed.

- These people are so rude!

- Honey, what time is it?

God, we're late. There's a cab.

- You going airport?

- No. Actually, I'm just...

After all this time,

I'm still in the same job.

It takes time, Billy.

In Kingston Falls,

I'd have been promoted by now.

And you'd hate it.

At least we could afford a decent

place to live. Get married.

Welcome to the Clamp Entry-matic...

... a revolution in revolving door

precision and efficiency.

Please be careful in stepping in

and out, and have a powerful day.

That's the story of the

Clamp Premiere Regency Centre...

...where one man's dream

became a reality.

I hope you enjoyed today's tour.

Don't forget:

Pick up Mr. Clamp's best-selling

book, I Took Manhattan...

...on sale right here

at our newsstand for only 19.95.

And in our gift store...

Don't let them get to you.

Billy, you're so good at your job.

Sooner or later, they'll notice.

- Maybe then we can get married.

- Okay, hon.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Marla, the first plan...

- The deadline's not my fault.

They make me miserable, so I make

you miserable. It's a disaster.

They changed the specs

and the deadline...

See, this is your problem right here.

You only see your little part of it.

I need a complete situational,

long-term, overview perspective.

It's almost finished.

I just have a few adjustments...

The courtyard looks cold.

It'd be better with trees.

- Will they plant trees?

- No. But draw them.

- But the...

- Elms.

- But the shrubbery looks...

- This attitude doesn't work for me.

Good morning, Mr. Forster.

It looks like somebody hasn't read

his employee manual. Doesn't it, Mr...

- Peltzer.

...Peltzer?

- Unauthorized potted plant.

- I told him about it weeks ago.

- I talked to you!

- I know. I was gonna...

Possible aphid infestation.

- What's this?

- That's Kingston Falls. My hometown.

Do you know how much

the Clamp organization has spent...

...to provide its employees

with art by recognized artists...

...at this facility? Eye-pleasing,

color-coordinated, authorized.

- But it was just a little...

- A little touch. I know.

Maybe everybody here

wants to do a little touch.

Coffee mugs that say,

"World's Greatest Lover."

The ashtray that reads, "Rest Your

Butt Here." You'd like that, right?

Coming to work every day

in a $200,000,000...

...flea market.

Billy, this is just

what I don't need right now.

The department review's in three weeks.

It's a nuclear meltdown disaster.

- Marla, I am doing the best I can.

- Billy, do me a favor.

Do better!

We've got a low corrosivity reading.

Give me a wave form on 10th power.

Mr. Forster, I have

a potential violator, sir.

That's an unauthorized break period,

friend. You don't work here anymore.

Do we have a problem communicating?

You're gone. Terminated.

End of medical benefits, that's right.

Clean out the desk, one hour.

And thanks so much.

Very nice, Frances.

Alert personnel. We have a

career opportunity in level seven.

Clamp Centre is the most advanced

smart building in America...

...with the latest in security,

communications and climate control.

It's just one part of Mr. Clamp's

worldwide business network...

...which includes construction,

sports, finance...

...and a popular line

of jams and jellies.

For those with cable TV at home...

...CCN is located right here

in the building.

The Attack of the Octopus People.

That's tonight's movie.

And, boy, is it scary.

It's so scary,

it'll uncross your eyes.

It's a good thing that your

Grandpa Fred is here to protect you.

- Where's the moan?

- The what?

There's supposed to be a moan here

from the coffin.

Then I say, "Renfield,

you want more flies?"

And then I go over

to the coffin and I...

Sorry, Fred.

- Hey, Fred.

- Oh, hi, Billy.

I heard about your new time slot.

They're making a big mistake.

Mistake? Kid, it's a disaster.

People who watch TV at 3:30 a.m.

Don't fear the Wolfman.

What scares them is getting sober

and finding work.

- Look.

- Watch it with that thing.

- Isn't that great?

- Sure.

- You could use it on your show.

- Sure. Put it in the back, will you?

Frankly, kid...

...this isn't what I had in mind.

I went into broadcasting,

I thought I was gonna do news...

...public affairs...

...something meaningful.

I don't even have a gimmick.

No special effects.

All I have is a cross-eyed

puppet named lgor.
