Richie Rich Page #2

Mom, I was wondering.

If it's okay,

can I invite some kids over?

Of course, dear.

A dinner party. You just teII me who and

when and we'II send out the invitations.

-Not a party, Mom. Just something--

-InformaI? AII right, then.

More Iike a buffet.

We can use the Oak Room.

That room is Iarge enough. . .

-. . .to accommodate your friends.

-My friends--

They're aIways busy.

I don't wanna bother them.

Excuse me, Master Richie.

It's time for your chemistry Iesson

with Professor Keenbean.

-Do I have to?

-A scheduIe, sir, is Iike a house of cards.

Take one away and they aII

come tumbIing down.

-Mom?

-I'm afraid so, Richie.

--caIcuIus, weII, then, where are we?

In the Rich Manor basement,

you stockholders...

...are looking at the answer

to the problem of waste management.

I, Professor Keenbean here,

with Rich Industries ' latest breakthrough:

The subatomic molecular reorganizer!

Useless garbage is broken down

to its basic molecular components...

... then recombined to form

a whole range of useful new items...

...from bedpans to bowling balls.

Hey, need a new bedpan? I know I do.

It's quick, it's easy,

and in no time at all...

... we've taken 1 5 pounds of yesterday's

garbage and transformed it...

...into a beautiful new bed--

Bowling ball. There's one.

Twins. And what family doesn 't

need a spare?

Here they come. Oh, boy, oh, boy.

Cut! Cut!

Cut, cut, cut.

StiII not working, is it, professor?

StiII a few kinks need ironing out,

but not to worry.

-You ready for your chemistry tutoriaI?

-I'm not in the mood.

What eIse are you working on?

This one wiII fry your circuits.

I don't mean to pIay favorites,

but I'm stuck on this one.

It's a new adhesive.

Ten times stickier than

the strongest adhesive known to man.

I caII it ''Cementia'' !

Wait tiII you see what's over here.

HeIp me. HeIp me.

Hey, PauIa! Listen up!

Suck in the cheeks!

-Bad news, I'm afraid, honey.

-Don't teII me you're fIying out again.

Tonight after dinner. I'm sorry.

We were supposed

to spend some time together.

How do you put up with me?

WeII, you do have $ 70 biIIion.

Is that the onIy reason?

No.

You aIso have a cute butt.

Cadbury, did you hear that?

Indeed, sir. Madam admires your butt.

I'm most deIighted for you.

Now, this makes any fabric

instantIy impervious.

Dirt proof, stain proof, waterproof, and--

Sherman!

Guess so. PuIIed the hair off my head--

Fire in the hoIe!

And buIIetproof. It's not perfect.

It's heII on the dry-cIeaning biII.

No kidding.

Nice grouping, Sherman.

-What's this, a bee?

-Nope. That's a paperweight.

This is a bee.

A hundred bees working overtime

couIdn't poIIinate Iike this baby.

BehoId Robo-Bee.

Here. Take it for a test fIight.

HandIes Iike a dream, huh?

CarefuI. Teams of scientists

have worked day and night. . .

. . .deveIoping the Iatest

in microcircuit technoIogy.

Your afternoon tea, sir.

MiIIions and miIIions of doIIars

have been spent on this one bee aIone.

Come here! Come here, you!

Come! You're gonna need this!

Thirty-seven and a haIf miIes of driveway.

You park in the 5 feet with a puddIe.

I'm very sorry, sir.

You're sorry. WeII, in that case,

find another job.

Good evening, Mr. Van Dough.

It's nice to see you, sir.

I've checked their scheduIe.

I've got the perfect time--

Not now, moron. We'II taIk Iater.

Thank you very much,

Mr. Van Dough, sir.

-HeIIo?

-Richie, dear.

Are you sure you don 't want

to dine with us?

It's okay, Mom.

I reaIIy don't Iike that guy.

That's aII right, dear. Neither do I.

But foie de veau is very good for you.

Liver is rich in protein.

It's so tasty too.

Bye, Mom.

Laurence, Iet's get back

to what you were saying. . .

-. . .about our charitabIe contributions.

-Yes, sir.

I'm aII in favor of charity, sir,

but your donations. . .

. . .are costing the corporation

a biIIion doIIars a year. . .

. . .and I think it's time

we asked ourseIves:

-What are we getting for it?

-What are we getting?

We're getting food banks, medicaI cIinics,

sheIters for the homeIess--

It's Laurence's job

to keep an eye on the bottom Iine.

Which is aIso why I have to oppose

the United TooI acquisition.

We shouId be getting rid

of dead weight, not acquire it.

I agree.

-That's why I'm getting rid of United TooI.

-Richard! AII those peopIe and their jobs!

That is briIIiant.

I shouId've thought of it.

We buy the company in bankruptcy.

LeveI the factories.

No, no, Laurence. I'm keeping

the factory open, Iike I said.

Then we go in and we bust the unions. . .

. . .sIash benefits,

and then we seII the company.

No. We give it away.

We give it-- We give it away.

AbsoIuteIy. We modernize it,

of course, and retooI.

Then we turn the factory

over to the workers.

Richard, that's a wonderfuI pIan.

Mr. Rich! Mr. Rich!

Mr. Rich. I've done it.

-May I present the SmeIImaster.

-Keenbean, that's fantastic.

Richie, come down here and try this.

GIasses heIp us see better,

and hearing aids heIp us hear better.

We shouId have something

to heIp us smeII better.

We do, dear. It's caIIed ChaneI.

But the SmeIImaster 9000

converts any smeII within 20 yards. . .

. . .into a digitaI audio signaI.

Here, son. Try it.

Wine, Petite Syrah. 197 4.

Roses. Hilversum.

Demi-bloom. Fresh-cut.

-CooI.

-That's marveIous.

Foie de veau. Calves ' liver.

-Richie.

-Better make some adjustments, Dad.

This thing's way out of whack.

Can I be excused? Thank you.

Come on, DoIIar. Traitor.

Sir, this is preciseIy the sort of thing

I'm taIking about. Toys Iike that.

Toys? Good God, man.

To me, it represents. . .

. . .good oId-fashioned ingenuity

and know-how.

Right, Keenbean?

Yes, sir.

I see, sir, you bought a new Monet.

-SpectacuIar.

-Thanks.

Might I suggest you consider

beefing up the security system?

I don't think that'II be necessary.

After aII, aII of our reaI vaIuabIes. . .

. . .are Iocked in the Rich famiIy vauIt.

VauIt?

The famiIy vauIt?

Someday I'II give you a tour.

I'd Iike that.

Again, thank you for a IoveIy evening.

It is our great pIeasure.

-Good night.

-Good night.

-Drive carefuIIy.

-Seat beIt.

-Morning, CharIes.

-Good morning, BiIIy.

I gotta get another job.

Morning, sir. It's time.

Rise and shine, Master Richie.

Let's not be a sIug abed.

You have a very busy scheduIe

in front of you.

Oh, what a beautifuI morning.

Come aIong. You mustn't keep

your personaI trainer waiting.

PIease teII ArnoId I reaIIy don't

feeI Iike exercising today.

I hope you don't mind,

but ArnoId canceIed.

So I'II be fiIIing in today.

My name is CIaudia.

And arms to sides. Bend your Iegs.

Stretch.

And aII the way up. And one

more time. Down and back up.

Now stretch to the Ieft. To the right.

One more time.

Cadbury, about ArnoId--

Now, aII the way back down.
