The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking Page #3

They missed a good sale there.

Hi, freckle-face. Don't

you just love freckles?

Not much! Well, I do.

What's going on over there?

Children's home kids. Come for

their haircut and teeth pulling.

Don't they ever have any fun

when they come to town?

Let's go play with them.

What's wrong?

Orphans. Dad says we shouldn't.

Why not? They're just kids like us.

Let's go.

Quick, quick, quick. Come along.

Next two, please.

Come on. You two next.

Hi! What flavor ice cream

do you like best?

Chocolate! Vanilla!

Shh!

Back off!

It's against the rules.

Listen, I want you to go to the ice cream

truck and get lots of ice cream...

and every kind of candy

that they have.

Here's some gold coins. Okay.

Now, go. Come on, Annika.

You won't get away with this.

I'm telling Miss Bannister, and

she'll soon settle your hash.

Miss Bannister?

That settles it.

Now we're gonna have a ball.

Miss Bannister?

There's this girl.

She's creating havoc. There's this girl.

She... She went up there.

I don't see anyone.

You silly, stupid girl.

Now, you mean you want

64 ice cream cones?

And Nestle's Crunch.

And bubble gum.

And can we have

265 Oh Henry! Bars?

You just help yourselves.

It's all yours!

Come on, kids!

It's Pippi Longstocking Day!

The ice cream!

Let's get the ice cream.

That's really something, eh? Those

poor kids never had such a treat.

Here comes the ice cream.

Come on, kids! Come and get it!

Free ice cream!

There's always been a lot of talk about Villa

Villekulla being an old pirate hangout.

But I...

I never heard anything

about a buried treasure inside.

There must be records. Deeds?

A bill of sale? Anything!

Look, I want that place.

And I'm willing to pay any legal costs

to get it, if you know what I mean.

- Ohhh!

- Tommy, throw some more. Hurry!

Well, go and get 'em!

Yes, Miss Bannister.

Tommy!

I think 've done enough shopping for today.

I'll be right back.

Hey, get some

more pistachio, strawberry!

Keep your eyes peeled.

Annika! Tom...

You... dirty rat!

- Okay, Mr. Neilson, time to do your stuff.

- Here we go. Here we go.

You do something!

Arrest somebody!

Yes, ma'am.

Annika!

Tommy! Eh, watch it! Tommy!

Would you get out of my... Get...

Tommy!

All aboard! Come on, Annika.

Go! Come on!

- Tommy, Annika, come down this minute!

- Hold on!

No, no! Stay up!

- Bye, Dad! See you at dinner!

- You'll pay for this!

I know who's responsible

for this!

Pippi Longstocking

is coming into your town.

The one no one...

Riding on a motorcycle!

Flying through the air!

I don't know what I would have

done if they had crashed.

Honey, Pippi got them home

safely as she always does.

That's what's important.

I've got a feeling Pippi would never

put those kids' lives in danger.

Do you know, she told me...

that she used to ride with her father

on the Wall of Death in Bangkok?

And you believe that?

That Pippi is the biggest darned

liar that I have ever seen.

And I'll tell you what.

There's going to be trouble.

That Miss Bannister is on the warpath.

She's gonna have her way with Pippi yet.

What a shame.

Whee!

Have you seen the splunk yet?

I don't want him to get me.

I'll protect you if it does.

Be careful,

and don't touch the floor.

The splunk will get you.

And when he does,

he'll tear your legs off...

and stick 'em in your ears.

Do you know,

since Pippi has arrived,

I've never seen

Tommy and Annika so happy.

I never even see them anymore.

I just miss our happy,

little family dinners.

Look at you.

Come on! Then let me go first.

I can't.

Don't touch the floor.

Come on! Get onto the couch!

Now you've got to

get onto the couch, Annika.

Come on!

I did it!

What are you kids doing?

Watch out, Mom. There's

a splunk on the loose!

I got it!

Get out while the going's good.

Well, come along before

your father sees this mess.

We've been having fun, Mom.

Pippi, would you like

to come to dinner?

No, thanks, Mrs. "S." I promised

this fabulous swami in Chittagong...

that I'd never eat out

on Tuesdays,

and there's nothing worse

than lying to a swami.

Bye-bye. Bye, Pippi.

Bye!

Let me give you a hand, ma'am.

Oh, no.

What are you doing up there?

Looking out for a storm.

Well, come down at once, please.

Why? Do you have

a new game for us to play?

I'm afraid this will be no game.

I am the welfare worker

from the county.

And there is a place for you

in our children's home.

I have come to take you there. But I

already have a place in a children's home.

Where? Well, look.

I am a child, and this is my home.

Therefore I live in a children's home.

And a very comfortable one

at that.

But no child can live alone.

No, no, no. It's unheard of.

Every child needs adult supervision

and has to go to school.

School! Why?

To learn things, of course.

What kinds of things?

Reading, writing, arithmetic,

history, geography,

all those things

that a person has to know.

Well,

Fridolf taught me how to count,

enough to count my gold.

And as for the other stuff, I've gotten

along fine without it for ten years.

So, I'm afraid you'll have

to find children...

for your children's home

someplace else.

Well, if you would just

take ahold of that beast,

I want to see

what's going on inside.

Sure.

But if I were you, I'd wait

and come back on Friday,

'cause today's splunk day and

they're all over the place.

I tried to warn her... sort of.

That was a trap

to catch a splunk.

They're such a pain, always trying

to steal my gold. Get away! Bug off!

If I let them stay, they'd eat

me out of house and home.

And that wouldn't do, 'cause then I'd have

to go to the children's home with you.

Don't, don't, don't, don't!

I don't know how to thank you and those kind

people in the town for thinking so much of me.

But take this and give those poor

children in the home a nice holiday...

with lots of ice cream

and marshmallows.

Oh, give it here! Wretch! Hey!

She took my hat!

She took my hat!

Okay, okay, I'll tell you what. Maybe

I'll visit Tommy and Annika's school.

Who knows? Might even be fun.

I love drawing and painting.

Good morning.

Mr. Neilson, you sure

are the cleverest monkey...

for painting all these beautiful pictures.

Thank you very much.

And the dearest. Ohh!

What about me?

That's enough.

Oh, hello, Alfonso.

I love you too, Alfonso. I'm

so lucky to have you guys.

Got her, boss! Outta there!

Ah, there she is. Turning

my property into a pigsty.

Ain't yours yet, boss.

No, but it soon will be if you

two idiots do your stuff.

Listen. She loves those two

stinking animals, doesn't she?

Right, right.

Hello. I'm coming. Come on, Pippi.

There's rocks ahead.

Don't worry.

Catch! Oh! Oh, my gosh!

They don't make china

like they used to.

Don't miss these!

What a bozo! I work my fingers

to the bone cooking for you,

and you mess it all up!

Here's yours.

Oh, thank you.

Isn't it great to be alive? What in the

world did we do before Pippi came?
