The Gnome-Mobile Page #2

Well, if I'm the first doo-deen

you've ever spoken to

how is it you speak

such good English?

Uh, English?

The language we've been talking

Well, now, don't that beat all

And here I've been wondering how come

you spoke such good Gnomish

And my father would no more than

took his eyes off the leprechaun

for less time than it takes to say

"Seanny O'Shannon's shillelagh"

when, whoosh, the little creature up

and disappeared on him

You don't really believe in that

silly stuff, do you, Grandfather?

- Why not?

- There's still no peanut butter

- Oh, they probably got the labels mixed

- [Elizabeth] Grandfather!

Grandfather, please,

you've got to come quickly

- I promised him we'd be right back

- Promised who?

- The gnome The gnome!

- The what?

And he's got

a simply awful problem

Oh, not just a gnome, but a gnome with

a problem Now, that is something

- Hey, I found one

- Good

But, Grandfather,

he's waiting to talk to you

- To me? But why me?

- Because I told him

if anyone could help him

with his problem, it was you

- You've got to come He's waiting

- Well, come on, Rodney

We've got to go talk to a gnome

Now, Elizabeth, on the possibility

this little fellow isn't there...

- He'll be there

- About six inches high, I imagine

- Taller than that - Little yellow cap

and buckles on his shoes?

His hat was green,

and I didn't notice any buckles

I don't understand that

In all the stories about leprechauns...

I didn't say he was a leprechaun

He said he was a gnome

Oh, a gnome

Well, that's different

That's the place

I'm here! I've brought him!

Yoo-hoo! Jasper!

- His name's Jasper

- Oh?

- Jasper!

- Jasper!

The girl, all right,

I maybe could go along

But how about him?

You ever seen

a fiercer-looking' critter?

He, uh...

He does look awful shifty

about the eyes

Jasper! Jasper!

Maybe this is the wrong place

Forests can fool you

But, Grandfather,

this was the place

Well, it could be the little lep...

gnome had second thoughts

on seeing me, I mean

Now, a little girl, that's one thing,

but an old curmudgeon like myself...

- [Crying]

- And it could be in her imagination too

I didn't imagine him!

I did see him!

Of course you saw a gnome, darling'

But not with these eyes

These up here

That's where all the little folks live

Like gnomes, elves, leprechauns,

whatever you want to call them

But, Grandfather, honest,

I talked to him Jasper!

Jasper!

They're making her into a fool,

and all on account of me

Come on, darling

We best be getting back

Now, you must be

really hungry by now

But he was right there

He was right there

I can't let it end like this

Hey, you!

- She did too see a gnome!

- Who said that?

- I think it's him

- Uh-oh Now you've done it

Come on out and show yourself

Don't do it, Jasper Don't do it

What kind of a trick is that

to play on a little girl?

- Come on, darling

- Oh, Grandfather

Hold on, you!

- Jasper!

- Seanny O'Shannon's shillelagh

There, Grandfather, you see?

Why

yes

A gnome

You see him, Rodney?

I still think it's

Elizabeth's imagination

Jasper, this is my brother Rodney

and my grandfather

Glad to see you, Jasper

Say hello to him, Rodney

- Hi

- [Jasper] Is this the wizard you spoke of?

The one with all the solutions?

So you're the gnome

with the problem

Tell him what you told me

Well, instead of that, since seeing

is believing with you doo-deens

follow me

Come on!

Well, there's my problem

My old grandpa just lies there

a- growing' more "see-throughish"

with every passing' hour

What's making him

so see-throughish?

Well, I'm not an authority on gnomes

but if they're anything like

leprechauns, they live on and on

- But only if they want to

- You mean they just fade away?

Jasper, have you any idea what

made him lose his will to live?

Grandpa's given up all hope

of ever seeing me married

and having young'uns of my own

Why is that?

Well, Grandpa and me, we're,

uh, we're the last of the gnomes

There's no gnome maidens

for me to marry up with

Well, now, that is a serious problem

Jasper

Jasper boy, is that you I hear?

It is, Grandpa

I'm, uh... I'm talking with some friends

[Grandpa]

Oh, that's nice

That's nice I'm happy for you

They're, uh, doo-deen friends

Mm, good

Now, go away... Doo-deens?

Now, Grandpa, before you get

your dander up, they mean to help us

Help from doo-deens?

You gone plumb out of your senses?

It's doo-deens that's been

the cause of all our troubles

I know that, Grandpa Only

these big'uns are, well, different

There isnt no such a thing

as a different doo-deen

That's why, in all my 900 years

I've never let one of em so

much as lay an eye on my boot

- Now, Grandpa, if I may...

- Not one step further, doo-deen

Ailing' I may be

but not enough to let you get ahold

of me without putting' up a fight

- My grandfather just wanted to help

- Help?

Saying' you could help,

why would you want to?

Because you've got a problem, and my

grandfather is good at solving problems

Well, you don't say

Jasper told me that there

are rumors about gnomes

living in other forests

Ah, idle clucking' of gossipy animals

And Grandfather's got a wonderful car,

and he'll drive you anywhere

- Won't you, Grandfather?

- Now, just a minute, darling'

- And what about the yacht?

- Oh, please, Grandfather

Well, dear, I do have

to be in Seattle

[Grandpa]

Supposing I was to go with you?

I hear tell how you big ones

treat free things in the forest

How you put 'em in cages

and sell 'em as curiosities

Exhibit 'em to other doo-deens

Oh, we'd never do that,

would we, Grandfather?

We'll give you our most solemn word

we won't even mention

your existence to another soul

Nobody would believe us anyway

[Jasper]

It's our only chance, Grandpa

What do you say?

Well, not that I got any hopes

of finding' gnomes, mind you

but you do got somewhat of an honorable

look about your eyes, so...

Yahoo!

We're going! Yahoo!

Oh, Grandfather, you're wonderful

Yippee!

We're going!

Well, if I may coin a phrase

he's jumping' out of the frying pan

into the fire

Yes, sir Smack into the fire
