The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking Page #8

- Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Tommy!

Merry Christmas, Annika!

Not forgetting you too, Pippi.

Merry Christmas.

And, Papa, I hope you're eating

lots of lovely cakes and things...

on your South Sea island.

I really hope you are.

I love you.

Mom, you sure

he's not up there with you?

I mean, you would tell

me, wouldn't you?

I miss you both... terribly.

The first Noel.

The angels did say.

Was to certain poor shepherds.

In fields where they lay

Where they lay.

In fields where they.

Lay keeping their sheep.

- On a cold winter's night

- Hi! Annika! Tommy!

That was so deep.

Noel, Noel.

Noel, Noel.

Happy Christmas, Pippi, dear.

We just want you to know

that we love ya...

and that we're thinkin'

about ya.

Miss Bannister

found it in the pet shop.

It's very small. It'll grow.

But we hope you like it.

Oh, I do! I do! I adore it!

Merry Christmas, Pippi!

Happy Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Pippi.

Merry Christmas, honey.

Good luck, Pippi!

Hip, hip for Rocksby... the

greatest town in the whole world.

- Can we give 'em to her now?

- Yes, can we?

Well, boss,

what are we gonna do now?

Find someone else to rip off?

Nope. We're gonna

keep on trying.

Haven't you two bimbos learned

anything from that brat yet?

When you believe in something, you

never give up! Dummies, both of ya!

- Oh, neat. She's so pretty.

- Now I can go hunting.

I got an ostrich!

Alfonso and Mr. Neilson have presents too.

Help me with them.

This one's Alfonso's.

And this is for you, Mr. Neilson.

Life is a breeze

We live it for fun.

No apologies to anyone.

We live on the seas We do as we please

I don't believe it! Papa! Papa!

From stem to stern

each moment is now.

- Papa, Papa! You've come back!

- Ah-ha!

Would I ever let you

spend Christmas without me?

Well, I'll be darned.

I made it myself

especially for you.

Now, I may be king

of the Kurrekurre islanders,

but they never gave me baubles

as beautiful as these.

Thank you, me darlin' daughter.

I knew all along you hadn't drowned.

What? Me, drown?

I could no more drown

than a camel thread a needle.

What happened

when you floated ashore?

Ah, you'd never

believe what happened.

Well, now.

At first, the islanders wanted to eat me.

- Are you really a cannibal king?

- Aye, but there's no danger now.

I converted them

to vegetarian cannibals.

You don't look like a king.

- Where are all your robes and things?

- They're in me duffle.

What's that? Put 'em on.

We won't peek.

Anything for you, girl.

Okay. Come on.

Tell us when we can look.

What does that mean, Papa?

It means tremble, my enemies.

When I sailed away

from the island,

they only let me leave when I told them

that soon I'd bring them back a princess...

Named Pippilotta.

I'm gonna be a princess!

Whee! I'm gonna be a princess!

Princess of the Kurrekurre Islands.

Ah, me princess! You really are the

bestest pop in the whole world.

Bye! See you in 50 years!

Maybe you'll come out and visit!

No apologies to anyone.

- We live on the seas - At least

she'll be taken care of by her father.

We forget that she's just a little girl.

Helpless, really.

Helpless? Pippi?

May I borrow that, please, Papa?

Thanks.

You know, Papa, there was a lot of nice

people I forgot to say good-bye to.

Well, then, open up

your lungs and shout.

It's not as simple as that.

Here.

I wanted to try

a couple new things.

Maybe even go to school.

School, eh?

Well, now. It's your decision.

I wanna be with you more

than just about anything.

And I'd really like

to be a princess.

But I can't bear to see

people crying because of me.

I'll miss you lots.

But in my heart, I know it's best for

a child to have an orderly life.

Especially if that child

can order it herself.

Yes.

And I'll come back from time to

time to see how you're doing.

- I love you.

- Fridolf, come about!

- Aye, aye, Captain.

- Don't bother. I can take care of myself.

- Aye, aye, Princess.

- You don't mind going for a little swim, do you?

It's kinda cold.

Come on. Up you go.

Kids.

You can leave Mr.

Neilson with me if you like.

You all right, Alfonso?

Life is a breeze Bye, guys.

Bye, Pippi! Bye, Pippi!

I'll miss you, Pippi!

Look! She's coming back!

You okay, Mr. Neilson?

Pippi! Keep on being just

yourself, Pippilotta.

I will. And remember: Pippi

will always come out on top.

Maybe next time,

Pippi, I'll come back to stay.

But whenever you need me,

you know how to reach me.

Come on. Let's go home.

Freedom calls and Pippi runs.

The girl who never heard

she couldn't do something.

Watch out, world

And she's bound to teach

you more than one thing.
