The Rescuers Page #2

Synopsis: When a bottle containing a plea for help from a little girl named Penny makes its way to the Rescue Aid Society, a mouse organization in the basement of the United Nations building dedicated to the rescue and well-being of anyone in need, it is up to the brave mouse Miss Bianca and her chosen partner, the shy janitor Bernard, to rescue the girl. Searching for clues at Penny's home at Morningside Orphanage in New York City, the two mice discover that the girl has been kidnapped by the evil pawn shop owner Madame Medusa and her companion Mr. Snoops.

Miss Bianca, we must

go down there and investigate.

Suit yourself, but you'd be

wasting your time going down there.

She could be in real trouble.

We gotta find her and help her.

Yeah, but two little mice.

What... What can you do?

Bernard, a child's book!

It's Penny's!

Then, uh...

Then she's gotta be here.

W-What's so funny?

Y-Your tail!

Here, here,

let me help you fix it.

Who could be ringing

at this time of night?

Madame Medusa's

Pawn Shop Boutique.

- Hello, boss.

- Snoops!

Don't tell me, Snoops.

Let me guess. You found it!

You've found the diamond!

Give you time?

You bungler!

You have been down there

for three months.

Bottles? What bottles?

You caught Penny

sending messages in bottles?

You blundering fool!

Can't you control a little girl?

Shut up! I am taking the next

flight down to Devil's Bayou!

This is terrible.

We've got to go with her.

Yeah, come on.

In the suitcase.

Bumbling boob.

He fouls up everything.

Leave him for a few weeks and...

Oh, why won't this

stupid thing close?

Out of my way, you road hog!

All passengers,

please report for flight 614.

Hurry, Miss Bianca! Medusa could be

down at the Devil's Bayou by now.

Oh, I'm sorry, but a lady does

have to pack a few things, you know.

Will MrJenkins report

to the ticket counter, please?

All passengers, please report

for flight 614, now departing.

Flight leaves 6:
45.

Oh, no, we missed the flight.

- Miss Bianca, if you hadn't...

- You worry too much.

You know that flights

are always late.

Albatross Flight 13 to Tower.

Albatross 13.

Now, what did I tell you?

We are lucky, Mr Bernard.

Luck? Flight 13?

Maybe we'd better take the train.

Wake up!

Dad-rad it! Somebody answer down there!

Get off the dime!

Hello! Hello!

Is there anybody down there?

Uh, h-h-hello?

Where have you been,

oh, you lazy knucklehead?

W-We-We just got here, sir.

Uh, uh, see, my co-agent

insisted on packing her, uh...

Look, bud, am I clear to land?

Traffic up here is thicker than

fleas on a hound dog's...

Wo-Wow! Dad-blast, you dirty road hog...

road hog... Crazy...

Look... One at a time...

You stupid, lunkheaded...

- What did he say, Mr Bernard?

- I wouldn't dare repeat it.

Well, then give him

the permission to land.

Uh, Captain, you, uh,

you have our permission to land.

Well, it's about time, bud!

Look, look! There he is!

Doesn't he fly beautifully?

And you wanted to take the train,

you 'fraidy cat.

'Fraidy cat?

It's just that, uh...

No, I-I like trains.

I mean, they serve,

uh, Roquefort, uh...

Pull up! Pull up!

Are... Are...

Are you hurt, sir?

Nope.

One of my better landings, bud.

Oh, great.

Come on. We're...

We're gonna take the train.

Play it safe.

Train? Safe?

Listen here, buster.

- I'm as fit as a fiddle.

- And you look simply wonderful, Captain.

Oh, shucks, just call me Orville,

little lady.

All right, all right,

uh, it's most important

we get to Devil's Bayou.

Well, now,

will you just keep your shirt on?

Flight 13 hits the wild blue yonder

in five minutes.

Eight, nine, ten, eleven...

twelve... Oh, no.

There are 13 steps

on this ramp.

Well, why don't you

jump the last one?

This is your captain speaking.

Welcome aboard, folks.

Fasten your seat belts. No smoking.

Just sit back

and leave the driving to me.

Miss Bianca, be sure

it's fastened good and tight.

I can't.

It'll wrinkle my dress.

Say, bud,

read the checklist to me.

Uh, oh, yeah.

Goggles down.

- Check.

- Wing flaps down.

Check.

- Tail feathers.

- Double check.

"If at first you don't succeed...

try, try again."

And here we go!

I sure wish

we'd have taken the train.

Oh, I just love takeoffs!

Captain, you fly beautifully.

It's just like being

on a "roller scoater."

- We just went through a red light.

- Oh, I do that all the time, darling.

Now, come on.

Stop worrying.

Come along

Will there be sunshine shinin'

Will we find a silver linin'

Come along

Sing a song

When today becomes tomorrow

Will we find joy or sorrow

Sing a song

Is it wrong

To put all our hopes together

And wish for somethin'better

Is it wrong

To be loved

To face the future

with another

Who means more than any other

Is to be loved

We'll paint the grey clouds

With pretty rainbow hues

And we'll brush the gloom away

And save it for a rainy day

Rainy day

Oh, today

If troubles cast a shadow

And shadows make the sun

afraid to stay

Why, it's okay

'Cause there'll be

sunshine shinin'

And we'll find the silver linin'

Another day

Uh, listen to this.

It says here Devil's Bayou

is uncharted and hazardous.

Each day's operations...

Hmm, interesting.

Must be...

Good night, dear.

Planned with...

care and...

Tomorrow is another day

Good night, Bianca.

How I hope you'll always stay

Penny!

Penny?

Penny, answer me!

Penny?

Snoops!

Snoops, get down here!

W-W-What's up, Medusa?

W-What's going on?

That little brat

has escaped again.

Nero, Brutus,

bring her back, boys.

Why won't it start?

Snoops! What's wrong?

W-W-What's wro... I don't... I don't know.

It was working good yesterday.

Oh, shut up!

Send up flares!

Light up the swamp so I can find her!

Well, folks, we'll be landing

at Devil's Bayou in just a minute.

Your crew thanks you

for flying Albatross Air...

What in the...

Sufferin' sassafras!

My rudder's on fire!

Bail out! Bail out!

Help!

Bernard!

Mayday! Mayday!

Sufferin' catfish!

What on earth?

Luke! Luke, wake up!

Luke, get down here!

It's Orville!

Oh, that Orville.

No, Luke, no. He's in trouble!

You get down here right now!

I'm a-comin'.

Wowee!

This new batch

really packs a wallop!

Look out below!

Oh, what a shame.

Here, honey, let me help you.

Say, cousin, you look like

you could use a swig of this.

It's good for what ails ya.

There.

Where are you folks from, anyway?

We're...

We're from New Y... New York.

Now, stand back, folks. I ain't gonna

hang around this creepy place long.

Clear the runway!

Great balls of fire!

Holy smoke!

Why don't you

watch where you're goin'!

Bernard,

it's that terrible Medusa.

I'd like to give her a few whacks

with my rollin' pin.

We swamp folks would like to run her

clean out of our bayou.

Hold it. Hold it!

Somebody's comin' this way.

Why did you have to

go and spoil everything?

Nero, don't you dare

get my teddy bear wet.

Oh, it's that poor

little young 'un.

She's tryin' to run away again.

It's Penny.

Oh, how terrible.

Hurry! We've got to find out

where they're taking her!

You'll need a boat. Evinrude's

got the fastest boat around here.

Evinrude, wake up!

Start up your engine, boy!

Send Evinrude back

as soon as you need help.

I'll round up the neighbours!

Faster!

Evinrude, faster!

You stop that, Brutus.

This fog is awful.

You can't see a thing.

Sl-Slow down, Evinrude.

They gotta be

around here somewhere.

Oh, dear! We've lost them!

Jehoshaphat!

Hang on!

Hard to port, Evinrude!

Help me, Bernard!
