THE ADVENTURES OF ELMO IN GROUCHLAND (1999) Page #3

Now, lend me your ear.

Elmo, get your chin up.

Things could be worse

You could have your feet

stuck down in the earth

I don't see no roots

growing from your toes.

Just two very little feet and they're

Revving, revving, revving

- To go.

- Just a little step

- And soon you will see.

- Soon you'll see.

Just how brave your heart can be.

Look on up to the sky

Take that first step.

And kiss your fears good-bye

Now, get up there, my little

red mophead, and take that step.

That's it. Look at that.

I knew he could do it. Yeah!

Wow.

Destiny is callin' so listen up, please

And you can feel the rhythm

down deep in your knees.

One foot, then the other

Your journey has begun.

Elmo, believe it

You're ready, ready, ready to run

Take the first step, soon you will see.

Just how brave your heart can be

Look on up to the sky

Take that first step

And kiss your fears good-bye.

Look at that! There he goes.

Hey, I knew he could do it. Yeah!

Look at him go!

That's it! Just keep on goin'.

Take another step.

Take the first step

and soon you will see

Just how brave your heart can be

Look on up to the sky

Take that first step

Elmo, we believe in you

Take the first step.

You'd better watch out, Mr. Huxley.

Elmo's coming to get his Blanket.

Oh, that's rich, huh?

He's little and red and

he's coming to get his blanket!

Excuse me, boss, didn't you

hear the little guy?

He's taking his first step.

Shouldn't we do something?

Well, ordinarily I wouldn't...

but I am feeling a bit saucy today, huh?

Saucy!

- No pesto.

- Alfredo and a little Parmesan,

maybe, huh?

A little Italian Parmesan.

Perhaps I shall toy with

the little red monster. But how?

- Now, let me think.

- Think, think.

Wow, his eyebrows are huge!

Those aren't eyebrows.

That's my aunt and uncle.

Maybe if I look at it this way.

I know!

I think it's time for Elmo

to take a trip to the tunnel,

if you know what I mean, huh? Yes?

What'd you say, boss?

- Bug, what are you doing?

- Just having a little snack.

Hard to do your evil bidding

on an empty stomach.

Oh, sure. Listen, Bug.

Listen good. Are you listening?

Get back to work!

That was a wild ride!

Wow.

So this is Grouchland, huh?

Yeah, land of a thousand stenches.

Yeah, and I think I can smell

a number of them rigth now.

- Hey, look who it is!

- It's Oscar!

- Oscar?

- You look like a million yucks.

Yeah! Go away! Get out!

Take your friends with you.

Ah, who says you can't go home again?

Oscar, maybe you can get your

friends to tell us where Elmo is.

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

- Yeah, yeah yeah.

In a minute.

First, I have to look

at the old neighborhood here.

Hey, I wonder where

that old septic tank is.

Hey. Wait a minute! No. Oscar,

we've got to find Elmo first!

Yeah. Elmo!

Let's go this way.

- Have you seen Elmo?

- Stop bothering us.

First the little red guy, now you.

Oh, look.

There's a police officer.

Yeah! Let's ask him for help.

It's against the law to ask

for help in Grouchland.

You have the right

to scream your head off.

Should you give up the right

to scream your head off

someone who'll scream their head

off will be provided for you.

- Come on.

- Me innocent.

Hello? Me needs cookie?

- Okay. Sidney. Little Ricky.

- Here.

- Howard.

- Present.

Listen. I'm going to get

the trap door ready.

You turn the arrow on the sign

so that it points in the tunnel.

- Got it.

- Ready? Break.

Break.

Howard! Howard?

Coming.

Oh! Oh man, oh, ow!

Ow! Your tushy bone

is crushing my skull!

- You're in my ear.

- Sorry.

Here he comes! Everybody hide.

I'm the king of the world!

No, I'm not.

Well, this must be the way.

- Is he in yet?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wow. A tunnel. Cool.

Whoa. It sure is dark in here.

Little help.

Dark and dirty and dusty.

The boss is going to be so proud of us.

Are you guys still here?

Elmo can't see you!

If you're still here, yell "Elmo."

What? Are you saying something?

Elmo still can't hear you.

Please yell louder.

Elmo!

Elmo heard you that time.

Boy, Elmo's glad you're still here.

Elmo needs some light.

Wow. Fireflies.

Hello, fireflies!

Oh, fireflies, can you help Elmo?

Can you help Elmo get out of here?

Wow. Thank you, fireflies!

Oh, nice hat.

This is fun! Whee!

Isn't this fun?

Oh, yay! Thank you, fireflies!

Don't worry, Blanket!

Elmo will be there soon!

Impossible. He's still coming?

I'm walking!

The boss is walking!

The boss is walking!

Ow! Sharp rocks!

Hot rocks! Pointy rocks!

Should've worn shoes!

Ooh-Ooh. The boss is walking!

Baloney Sandwich again? Oh.

Get back to work!

Why is that little red furball so

determined to get this blanket?

Maybe because it's so

devastatingly cuddly.

- What do you think you're doing?

- Just hugging Elmo's Blanket.

Whose Blanket?

I mean, your blanket.

That's right. My blanket.

And I'm the only one who can hold it.

Hey, tissue,

maybe you can be my blanket.

- What do you think you're doing?

- Just holding this tissue, boss.

- Whose tissue?

- Uh, your tissue, boss.

That's right. Mine.

Come here, Bug.

It belongs to me.

The issue at hand is the tissue at hand.

And I wish you would hand

or I'll squish you at hand.

The tissue at hand to the man

who can prove he can be.

The most deserving he.

That's me, me.

Me, me

Thank you, Bug.

Oh, I love that!

Bug, give me that lollipop.

- Yum. Tasty.

- That's mine!

Look at all I got This lamp, this yacht

But what makes having fun

is knowing you have naught

Whoa! Come on, Bug!

Some may call it greed

It's not, it's need

A need I love to feed

The need to have a lot

I give my all to all I seize, see?

- And all I see I give to me.

- Take it, boss!

I see it, take it Then I make it mine

My little stamper adds

a pinch of perfection

On every middle is my little sign.

- Yeah!

- I aim to make it mine.

He sees it, takes it

Then he makes it mine

- I truly care.

- His little stamper

adds a pinch of perfection

I give and give!

On every middle is his little sign.

- He aches, he shakes.

- I ache, I quake.

- To make it mine.

- To make it mine.

Oh, my favorite teddy bear!

Ah, my yo-yo! I love my yo-yo!

Something old, something new.

Something borrowed, something blue.

Things that once belonged to you.

Like this plastic telephone

I love this highway traffic cone.

This wedding cake for Jill and Jake.

This rake This giant rubber snake.

This Chippendale Don't let it break

Oops! It's true.

Love is a many "splintered" thing.

He sees it, takes it, makes it mine.

You better believe it!

What an honor to be in his collection.

It is such an honor.

It's like an offer that

you can't decline.

An offer you can't refuse!

- He aches, he shakes.

- I ache, I quake.

- To make it mine.

- You say you love your old Atari
