The Rescuers Page #3

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. On the back of Orville the albatross, Miss Bianca and Bernard travel to the terrifyingly gloomy Devil's Bayou where they learn the shocking truth: the innocent young girl is being forced down into a dangerous, dark underground pirate's cave where she must find the Devil's Eye, the world's largest diamond and Madame Medusa's greatest obsession. Before returning safely home, Miss Bianca, Bernard, and Penny will have to combat Madame Medusa's tw

Help! Bernard!

Bianca!

C-Come on, Evinrude.

Give it all you've got.

Keep trying, Evinrude.

Poor Evinrude.

Your carburettor

is all pooped out.

Bring her right on in, boys.

Come on.

So, you tried to run away.

Well, it didn't work, did it? Huh?

Put me down, Brutus!

Cranky old dragon.

Nice work. Good boys.

W-W-Wait, boys. Steady, boy.

D-D-Down, boys. Heel. Heel!

There, there, Teddy.

I won't let them do that

to you again. Don't cry.

Oh, Teddy, Teddy, Teddy, Teddy.

Poor Teddy. All she ever thinks

about is that simple bear.

Now, you behave, or I'll let Nero

and Brutus have your old teddy bear.

You will not!

Besides, I'm not scared of'em

like you are, Mr Snoops.

Oh, don't you sass me.

Ah, uh, boys, take this naughty

little girl to her room.

I can go by myself, thank you.

Stick around, Evinrude.

We'll... We'll signal if we need you.

Look out! Here she comes!

Where is she? Where is she?

Ah, eh, w-where is she?

Oh, I-I sent her up to her room.

Why did you let her escape?

What is your alibi this time, nitwit?

Nitwit?

Don't blame me, Medusa.

Those leather-headed lizards

of yours, they're supposed

to be patrolling the island.

They let her get away.

Ha! My precious pets.

We know who caught that

ungrateful little brat, don't we, hmm?

It was your brilliant idea to use

the little girl for this caper.

- If you'd left it to me...

- Snoops, you're not thinking.

I know, I know. She's the only one small

enough to squeeze down the black hole.

Yes, but why can't she

find my big diamond?

I don't know, but just look

at these beauties that she

brought up from the cave.

Oh, they'll sell

for a lot of cold cash.

Ow!

I wish you wouldn't do that.

She's insane. Utterly mad.

I want that diamond.

I've got to have

the Devil's Eye!

You didn't leave the girl

down in the cave long enough.

She won't take orders.

You are too soft.

But the water was rising

and the tide was coming in...

and all she did down there was fuss

about her teddy bear getting wet.

Snoops, you don't have a way

with children.

You must gain their confidence...

make them like you.

Yeah? How do you do that?

You force them

to like you, idiot!

At the next low tide, I am going

to put her down there myself...

and keep her there...

until she finds it.

It is as simple as that.

Oh, it's as simple as that, is it?

Well, you're the boss, boss.

Yes.

Now come along, petsy-poos.

We gotta get Penny

out of here tonight.

Uh-oh.

- Bianca, they smell your perfume.

- Oh, dear.

Oh, no!

Miss Bianca!

Let go, you-you-you,

you big bullies, you!

Brutus! Nero!

Stop that infernal racket!

I mean now!

Snoops! Snoops, a mouse!

Oh, kill it, kill it!

Oh, Snoops, kill it!

There is another one!

Oh, what is wrong with this thing?

Snoops! What's wrong?

I don't...

E-E-Evinrude, over here!

Are you...

Are you all right, dear?

Why, she... she tried to kill us.

That, that, that terrible woman!

Oh, if I was only a ten-foot mouse,

I'd show her.

It's... It's no use, Bianca.

Maybe Rufus the cat was right.

Wh-What can two little mice do?

R- E-S-C-U-E

Rescue Aid Society

But, Bernard,

the Society's counting on us.

We can't quit now.

Oh, and that little girl.

We've just got to rescue her.

Rescue Aid Society

Heads held high

Penny dear!

Auntie Medusa

wants to talk to you!

High tide or not...

that little brat is going

to find me that diamond...

tomorrow...

or else!

Come in. Come in.

Did you want to see me, ma'am?

Why, yes, my dear.

Don't be so shy.

Now, I am going to let

bygones be bygones.

Do you know what would make

Auntie Medusa very happy?

Yes, you want me

to find that diamond.

That's right, dear!

But I've tried

hard as I could, honest.

Of course you have.

But we must try harder,

mustn't we?

Then please will you take me back

to the orphanage like you promised?

Penny, don't you like it here?

A big, beautiful boat

all to yourself.

But if I don't get back

to the orphanage...

I'll never get 'dopted.

Adopted?

What makes you think

anyone would want...

a homely little girl like you?

Be brave, little one

Make a wish

For each sad little tear

Hold your head up

Though no one is near

Someone's waiting for you

Don't cry, little one

There'll be a smile

Where a frown used to be

You'll be part of the love

that you see

Someone's waiting for you

Always keep a little prayer

In your pocket

And you're sure

to see the light

Soon there'll bejoy

and happiness

And your little world

Will be bright

Have faith, little one

Till your hopes and your wishes

come true

You must try to be brave

Little one

Someone's waiting

To love

You

Good night, Teddy.

Sleep tight.

Oh, we almost forgot

to say our prayers.

Please bless Rufus and Teddy...

and all the kids at the orphanage...

Jennifer, Bobby, Mary, Julie.

Please let someone find my bottle.

There's a message in it.

Because running away

isn't working. Amen.

Don't worry, Teddy. We'll...

We'll be all right.

Penny. Penny.

Yes?

Penny... Penny, dear, now don't cry.

We are here to help you.

We... Hi!

Where'd you come from?

We found the bottle

with, with your message,

and we've come to rescue you.

Did you hear that, Teddy?

Our bottle worked!

Didn't you bring

somebody big with you...

like the police?

Uh, no, there's...

there's just the, the two of us.

But if the three of us work together,

and we have a little faith...

That's what Rufus said.

Faith makes things turn out right.

Penny, I know it's late, but we

have to escape tonight, right now.

But I just got caught

by Brutus and Nero.

Look what they did to my pants.

Yeah, and they're, they're still

down there guarding the gangplank.

Oh, those vicious monsters.

They ought to be locked up in a cage.

I know, I know.

Come on. I'll show you.

See there? The elevator.

Oh, it's a perfect cage, Penny.

Great idea.

Now, uh, wha-wha...

what can we use for bait?

Oh, they'll eat anything.

- Yeah, I know.

- I've got it.

My perfume. Remember? They'll follow

the scent right into the elevator.

And I'll slam the door.

And would that make Medusa mad.

Brutus! Nero!

Did you let that little brat

escape again?

You're too soft.

Whap! Whap!

Hey, Penny, that's not bad.

That's exactly like Medusa.

Track her down, boys.

Bring her back.

And we'll be so far ahead,

they'll never catch us.

Wait a minute. She... She might

catch us in, in her swamp-mobile.

We'll swipe it.

I've always wanted to drive it.

What if Medusa wakes up

wh-wh-while we're starting it?

W-We're in trouble.

We've gotta stall 'em somehow.

How 'bout Mr Snoop's fireworks?

We'll shoot 'em off in her bedroom.

That will keep her busy.

Oh, Bernard, it's so exciting.

Perfume, crocs, swamp-mobiles.

It's just got to work.

It's our only chance.

But we're gonna need help.

Snoops! Snoops, get down here!

Uh, what's up, Medusa?

What's going on?

Oh, shut up!

High tide or not...

I bet those two are up to something.

Gee, I don't wanna go down
