The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking Page #7

and defacing

the school premises.

Back to your desks, class,

and carry on with your work.

You see that little hut?

That's called the sweat box,

where really bad children

are put.

Mom, I hope

you're not too busy up there,

you know,

playing the harp and all.

But you know what your

Pippilotta's been going through.

Why do they ask so many questions

when they already know the answers?

I mean, a horse is a horse.

I'm so confused.

If only Papa were here. Then

we'd know the right thing to do.

I wish he was.

What? I didn't quite hear you.

Get a message to him? But how?

In a bottle? Oh, thanks, Mom.

My problem's solved.

Oh. You can go back

to playing your harp now.

Shh.

Once, I had four jacks

and lost to four queens.

It'll never happen again,

though.

This little hand right here

should be enough to win.

Yeah. Two bucks says

you ain't got... Flush.

Where'd you get that, huh?

Where'd you get them cards?

Shh.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

You're not a ghost.

I'm Greg, of Gregory's Gripping Glue.

And I'm very sleepy.

Well, there'plenty

of beds downstairs.

How did you get up here? You certainly

didn't come through the front door.

- I climbed up.

- On a ladder?

No. Up the wall.

Up a drainpipe, I guess.

I walked up.

Now you're telling whoppers worse than me.

Only flies can walk up walls.

And spiders and lizards and me!

How did you do it?

I'll show you.

Give me your shoe.

What is that stuff?

This is a very special glue.

Now the other one.

It sticks when you want it to, and

it leaves go when you're through.

I invented it, and someday

I'm going to be very rich.

What do we do now? Now you're

going to climb up the wall.

There. Go on. You can do it.

Well, go on.

I can't do it.

Of course you can. You can do

almost anything you want to...

if you believe you can!

That's what

I always used to say.

Okay. Why not?

Sticky situation.

My departure has to be a

fast one You're doing it!

Sticky situation

You're walking up the wall.

Every step is harder

than the last one.

Been in a lot of spots.

And had to use my ingenuity Terrific!

I'm walking on the ceiling!

The going gets too hot.

And soon the going

sees the last of me.

You see? No sweat!

And it was fun!

Anyone up there? I don't know.

Those rats get bigger every week.

Whoa.

Can you write? Of course I can.

But right now, I'm going

to take my little snooze.

Listen, Mr. Gregory. They

don't know I have this.

But you can buy just

about anything with it.

If you'll stay awake long enough

to write me an S.O.S., it's yours.

It's gold!

I don't want your money.

What kind of an S.O.S.?

To my papa.

Please write:

"Pippilotta in the jam pot.

Come quick. Villa Villekulla."

It's a little bit

more difficult going down.

Well, I can try.

All right. I'll put the

note in the bottle.

Throw it down to me when I

get down to the ground.

All right. All right.

Give me your hands.

Just for the start.

Turn me around.

Now, Gregory's Glue

won't let you down.

Now, just trust it.

Remember:
You must believe.

I'll try. Have a nice nap.

And thanks.

You're doing it, Pippi.

This is great.

Pippi, you're doing it!

I told you... if you would just believe.

Ohh.

Oh.

I can't move. I'm stuck.

Oh. Well, just jump.

Papa always says to leave

room for your toes to wiggle.

Here we go!

Thanks, Gregory.

Now, I want you to swim straight to

my papa, and no stops on the way.

Well, that's that.

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my God! Fire!

Help! Fire!

Oh.

All right! Get the hose

off and get that ladder over there!

Get the children out of there!

Hurry up!

- Please let me through! Let me through! Gregory!

- Help! I'm trapped!

Don't worry, Gregory!

Pippi's back!

The whole place is on fire!

Please help!

Hey, shoes, where are you? I

can't climb without my shoes.

How many more inside?

Oh, there are ten.

Oh, that Longstocking child!

Pippi, how did you get down there?

My mom lent me her

wings, and I flew. Oh!

Can't you ever stop telling those

stories, even at a time like this?

There's a man up there, and

he surely doesn't have wings.

Come on, kids!

Hurry, hurry! Don't be frightened.

Help!

Move those hoses!

Volunteers to hold the net.

Come on! Come on! Come on!

The ladder won't reach. Don't

worry, Gregory. I'll save you.

- We're trapped!

- You can jump as soon as they open the net.

- Tell the Glue Man to jump first.

- Glue Man? What's a Glue Man?

My friend up there. Gregory,

you'll have to jump first.

Don't worry. I'll save them.

- Now, it's perfectly safe.

- He's gonna jump.

- It's all right. I'll get them down!

- Help! Help!

It's much easier than walking

down a wall. What wall?

You got a rope? Yeah.

Right there in the back.

Don't worry! It's all right!

I'll get them out!

Bravo, Gregory!

Hi, Tommy and Annika.

Oh, Pippi, I'm so glad you're okay.

We came to rescue you.

You'll be safe. Whoa-oa-oa!

- Come on! Don't be afraid! Jump!

- Help!

It's Chrissy and Billy! Mr. Neilson,

you're exactly what I need.

You've gotta jump!

Close your eyes and jump!

The boy first!

Now, listen, kid:

Close your eyes and jump.

- - Come on! Come on! It's fun!

- I did it, and I'm all right!

- Pippi! Help!

- Pippi! Pippi!

- What's she doing?

Now, you're gonna take this rope over

there. Just jump. It's not gonna hurt you.

- Get some water on that cable!

- Well done, Mr. Neilson.

- Tie the rope to something.

- We need more pressure.

Help! Pippi! Save us!

We're gonna burn!

Help! Don't worry.

I'm coming for you.

Careful. Careful.

Come on, Pippi! You can do it!

Help! Hurry!

Hold on, Billy, Chrissy. Be careful, Pippi!

- Careful.

- Pippi! Help!

Pippi, it's hot! Help!

I'm coming.

You're doing it!

You're doing it!

Help! Help, Pippi! Well done!

She did it!

She did it! She did...

Uh-oh.

Put your head under my arm.

Okay. There.

- Let them jump. We'll catch them.

- No.

Here we go.

What's she trying to do?

She'll never make it.

You okay? Uh-huh.

Three cheers for Pippi!

Careful. Mr.

Neilson, where are you?

Mr. Neilson, come over. Run along the

ropes. You're a monkey, aren't you?

Mr. Neilson, I don't want

roast monkey for dinner.

- - Come on. Right now.

Stop fooling around.

Very well.

- - Come on,

you silly boy. Okay?

The rope! It's starting to burn!

- Ow! You're hurting me!

-

- - Mr. Neilson,

you're the best monkey in the world.

- I'm so proud of you! You were terrific!

- You were great!

Oh, I'm afraid I misjudged you.

- How can I make it up to you?

- I'd really like to go back to Villa Villekulla.

Mr. Neilson and Alfonso

must be pretty mad at me.

Oh, Pippi.

In my mind I hear

your voice is callin'.

Come on Be happy somehow.

Deck

the halls with lots of holly.

Shine your lights for the

world to see.

You know, guys,

Christmas is family.

You'll just have to wait till

tomorrow to open your presents.

Presents. I love presents.

- Is the turkey in the oven?
