Mannequin: On the Move Page #7

---

- I hope this works.

- Too outrageous not to.

Let those feet hit that street.

- Hey!

- We're moving.

Hold it right there!

Run, Jason!

Get back here!

Get back here!

Sorry.

Car!

- Mom!

- Come on, what kind of kid did I raise?

You got cops on your tail,

you keep your head down!

I have to save her, Hollywood.

They are guarding her like Fort Knox.

But, hold on tight.

This old bossman's got a plan.

Sheila Barberstein and her sister.

Sheila's father does marvelous work.

Nice to see you.

Well, Count. May I call you Gunter?

No, no. Uh-uh.

Everything seems to be going

very smoothly.

Well, you better hope

it stay that way, huh?

Yes. Well, I've personally attended

to every...

Oh, my God. Teen-A-Rama, Philadelphia.

You know what this means?

We'll be swamped with teenagers.

- That's terrible, sir.

- No, that's wonderful, you tall twit.

Teens are insatiable consumers.

They spend hard cash. Take a memo.

Mark everything in the

Junior Department up 10. 15.

I want to be sure

that the Prince and Company banner

will be prominently displayed on...

Will be prominently displayed

on the screen at all times.

Relax, man, I'm not the director.

Is there someone I can talk to

who will give me a little respect here?

I doubt it.

Thanks a lot. Gotta bail.

Hey, any time. Any time you want the job.

Good luck.

- Oh, careful!

- Careful!

Ladies and

gentlemen, the show is about to begin.

I must say, I did not think

that you could pull this off.

It is very, very dignified.

Well, thank you, sir.

When it comes to dignity, I am the master.

Yes, fine.

Then you will reach perfection

when you zip up your fly.

I'm just kidding. It's a Count Spretzle joke.

Hello.

Is everything in readiness

for our immediate departure?

- Transportation has been arranged.

- Very good. Very good indeed. Very good.

I don't know if you can hear me or not,

but if you can,

I want you to take

very good care of Jason.

He's a prime catch,

and you are a very, very lucky mannequin.

Hey, hey. Who are you talking to?

Just wishing her luck.

She's the star of the show, you know.

What are you doing here?

You're 10 minutes late.

- I just love all that hair.

- Why, thank you. Here, it's yours.

It's the wrong style, honey.

Do you really think

we're gonna pull this off?

Of course, mi amigo. You better get going.

Okay.

Come on, girls.

Less than a minute. Let's go.

The lights. The excitement.

Showbiz is my life.

Oh, excuse me.

I'm Muriel Dawn Williamson.

You. You call this dignified?

Well, I think it's kind of hip

in a rad sort of way.

There she goes! There she goes!

Come on, baby.

Once upon a time

a peasant girl was victim of a crime

Was frozen ever since

she dared to love the handsome prince

Is that so wrong?

But, alas, a thousand years have passed

since that spell from hell had been cast

Where is she?

Today, my friends, that spell will end

There she comes!

There she comes!

Ladies and gentlemen,

Prince and Company is proud to present

our beloved enchanted peasant girl.

And here to free her forever

with the kiss of life,

the prince.

That's my kid.

Stop this music!

Stop this nonsense!

I will not. I will not let it continue!

- Count Spretzle...

- No one, no one treats my culture like this.

Someone stop this fool

before I strike him with this microphone.

He's about to ruin my presentation.

- Get him out of here!

- Let's go.

Outrageous!

Go ahead, laugh.

Laugh and have fun,

my little stupid Americans.

Boo!

Boo to you, too. Boo.

Because this party is now over.

And I am taking my peasant girl

and getting out of here.

Boo!

Unhand that damsel.

I command you to step aside.

Are you kidding me or what?

She belong to me.

She is a living soul. She belongs to no one.

Then we will settle this like men.

Come on, Jason. For love and honor!

Come on, Count.

For money and Bermuda!

Shut up.

I come from a long line of fencers.

I have royal Bavarian blood.

Which I will be happy to shed!

I wait 1,000 year for this moment,

and no pipsqueak like you

is going to interfere with that destiny.

Touch.

Looks so painful.

Good.

- Jason.

- Everything's gonna be okay.

Come on, you've got to be kidding.

That's not fair.

So I cheat. Sue me!

This is my store,

my presentation and career. How dare...

I'm in trouble. Get a doctor, on the double.

"I'm in trouble.

Get a doctor, on the double. "

Stop it! Stop it!

"Stop it! Stop it!"

This fairy tale's gone far enough, huh?

- Come here, my dear.

- No!

No? Look! Look! Look! Look!

Look! Look at this! No! Come here!

Don't you move. You move. Come on.

That's it.

Nobody move.

Come on.

He's not getting away with this.

- I'm right behind you.

Come on. Come on.

- Let me go!

- You want me to use necklace again?

Get out of the way! Get out of the way!

Keep them back! Keep them back!

Keep them back!

- I'll take the one on the right.

- Come on.

- Come on. Come on.

- I'll take them.

Gentlemen, leave them to me.

- Oh, my eyes.

- That's extra-firm hold, too.

He's taking her to the roof.

Come on, we'll take the stairs!

- Must we?

- I'll watch the goons.

- Down on your bellies, now!

- Andy, you're so forceful!

I do not believe it!

Let me go!

I thought you got helicopter for me!

What you do?

I thought this would be more romantic.

More romantic?

Get out of the way, you idiot!

Stand aside. Dancing strengthens the legs.

Stop it!

Jason.

Go ahead. Make my day!

Only one little gun?

Honey, I am from North Philadelphia!

- What are you doing?

- It's stuck.

Stand back.

- I'll take care of this.

- No, Hollywood. This is my job.

You're not taking her

to Hauptmann-Koenig, Spretzle!

I won't allow it! Let her go!

Hauptmann-Koenig?

That dump? Are you crazy?

We are on our way to Bermuda.

Look out!

Allow me.

- Jason!

No Jason for you.

- Jessie!

- I guess I win, right?

Whoa!

Jason!

That must have been very painful, huh?

But enough of this.

Now that we are finally alone,

at last, in our little balloon,

how about a little smoochie-woochie?

Leave me alone!

Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.

Don't ever, ever refuse a count.

No!

- You want me. Come on. Come on.

- Stop it! Get away!

Spretzle, you let her go! Jason loves her!

Come, my princess,

you must learn to obey me.

Stop it!

- Not if I have anything to say about it.

Jason!

Oh, I can't do it.

Good. Good. That's very good.

- But guess what? I can.

- No! No!

- Let him go!

- Down, my little prince. Down you go.

Goodbye, my little pest.

In 1,000 years, on a single day,

only if you love me, take the curse away.

Jason, it worked.

Oh, no!

Catch him!

No! No!

- No!

- Oh, no!

- Count.

- I can't believe it.

We've blown our trip to Bermuda!

Wait.

If we be putting him back together

and finding him a true love,

he will be coming back to life.

Ja.

- Wait, look out!

- Oh, my prince.

- My princess.

- Forever.

- And ever.

And that is the legend of Count Spretzle.

Of course, nobody really believes it.
