An-And hurry!

Ya-hoo!

Shucks, Ellie Mae. I was just a-waitin'

for someone to holler "charge"!

Dagnab it. Let's cut out the jawin'

and get a-goin'!

When old Gramps gets het up,

his nose gets plumb out of joint.

Take it easy, Gramps.

We gotta stay here till Evinrude

brings us word from them mice.

If'n that bug don't get here soon...

they'll put that poor little girl

down the black hole again.

All right, you little brat. Now, you

are gonna go down in that hole...

and you are gonna dig till you find me

the diamond. You understand that?

And no sassing me.

Ah-ah-ah. Snoops,

that is no way to speak...

to our little Miss Penny.

What? Oh.

Okay, boss, okay.

Now, my dear...

you're going to find

the big, shiny diamond...

for your Auntie Medusa.

Aren't you?

Teddy doesn't like it down there.

He's afraid.

Aren't you, Teddy?

Aw. Poor Teddy.

I'll just keep him up here with me,

where he'll be safe.

Give me back my teddy bear!

He's mine! He's mine!

You get down there

and find the big diamond...

or you will never see

that Teddy again!

All right, all right.

I'll go.

Boss, you really

got a way with kids.

Don't worry, Teddy.

I won't be gone long.

I'll find her old diamond.

Oh, what a dreadful,

frightening place.

Yeah, it used to be

a pirates' cave.

How do you know that, Penny?

- Him.

- Ah! Oh, dear!

Come on, girls. Let's-Let's look for

that diamond so we can get out of here.

Oh, I looked there already.

Medusa doesn't want

those little ones.

What... What's...

What's... What's... What's that?

That's where the water comes in.

Ooh, I'm afraid to go over there.

Well, if I was a pirate...

that's just where I'd hide

the Devil's Eye.

I'll, uh, I'll...

I'll go over and check it out.

Uh, come...

C-Come to think of it...

if I was a pirate, I wouldn't

hide anything back there.

Bernard, look!

I can see something.

Come on.

- Come on. Let's see what it is.

- No, no, Bianca.

You... You stay here.

I'll see if I can find

a safe way over.

- Bianca!

- Oh! Hang on!

- Help!

- I'm coming!

- What are you doing down there?

- I'm looking.

Well, look faster.

Wow!

P-Penny, hold,

hold your lantern up again.

- Holy mackerel. That... That's it.

- The Devil's Eye.

Penny, we found it!

We found it!

Medusa, I found it!

Let me look.

Let me look, Medusa!

Back! Ah, good girl.

Good girl, good girl!

Let's get it up here.

Look, it won't go through.

I can't get it out.

- What's taking so long?

- It's stuck tight.

Stuck tight?

You get that diamond,

or you'll never see daylight again!

No, no, back! Back, Penny!

Oh, Penny, you'll fall!

For... Forget the, the diamond.

Let's get out of here before we drown.

The water's coming in.

Please pull me up.

Not until you get the diamond.

Penny, the... the pirate sword.

Use the sword.

Penny! Penny, help!

I've got it! I've got it!

Hurry! P-Pull me up!

Faster, Snoops. Faster.

- Pulling as fast as I can.

- Ahhh!

At last!

The Devil's Eye!

It's worth millions!

Just look at it.

Filled with power...

for its owner.

May I look at it?

Hey, that wasn't a very good look.

But I know that there's enough there

to cut it into two equal shares.

You idiot!

Cut up a perfect gem?

And it's mine. It's all mine.

All yours? Half of it is mine,

you double-crossing crook!

- Put me down, Brutus!

- It's mine! It's all mine!

Double-crosser!

Cheap pickpocket.

Chiseller!

Cheap crook!

Land's sakes!

It's Evinrude!

Oh, well, sure is a mess.

Where in tarnation you been, boy?

- What's happening?

- Do they want us now?

- Where are they?

- They're on the boat?

Speak up, boy.

Buck up! We mustn't be

quitting now, must we?

Stand back!

Give poor Evinrude some air!

He's plumb tuckered out.

Here, son, this'll make

a new bug outta you.

Charge! Ya-hoo!

We're gonna have us

a ripsnortin' fight.

Yee-hoo! Charge!

Where'd everybody go?

I don't need any help

from anybody!

Charge! Ya-hoo!

Welsher! Swindler! Chiseller!

Shut up, Snoops, and don't move.

If either of you

try to follow me...

you'll get blasted!

You give me my teddy bear.

You promised.

Teddy goes with me, my dear.

I've become quite attached...

to him.

My diamond!

My diamond!

Charge!

Now!

Now!

Now!

Look out!

Oh, please start.

Advance the spark.

Not the horn, the spark lever.

Digger, hold this.

It's that doohickey

on the steering wheel.

You... You...

and your infernal fireworks!

You... You...

Oh, you dunderhead!

We're not getting any gas.

Fill her up, Luke.

Hurry. All of it!

Look out! The riverboat!

- We did it, Bianca!

- Hooray! Oh, Bernard!

Bernard, you're wonderful!

- We did it!

- We got her!

We sure showed that Medusa!

There goes...

my diamond!

And because of a courageous

little girl named Penny...

the world's largest diamond,

the Devil's Eye...

is now in the Smithsonian Institute.

But what's even

more important, folks...

this little orphan's dream

has come true.

Today she's being adopted.

And here she is

with her new mother and father.

For Penny's a jolly good fellow

For Penny's a jolly good fellow

From Morningside Orphanage

She's got a new mom and dad

Hooray for her mom and dad

- For Penny's a jolly good fellow

- Bernard, I am so happy for Penny.

Yeah, so y-you might say that...

that Penny, uh, brought us together.

You are a darling.

Penny, you were a brave little girl

to do what you did all by yourself.

Oh, I didn't do it

all by myself.

Two little mice from

the Rescue Aid Society helped me.

Mice? Rescue Aid Society?

Yes, they rescued me.

Uh, could I say hello to them?

Hello, Bianca!

Hi, Bernard!

You can talk to these little mice?

All the time.

Mice can talk like anybody.

Didn't you know that?

Well, uh, I didn't,

but I do now, Penny.

Evinrude, what are you doing here?

It's another call for help.

Here, uh, uh...

you're gonna need some volunteers.

B-But, B-Bianca, we just...

Oh, Bernard, adventure, thrills...

intrigue, travel, exotic places.

Oh, come on, darling. Let's go.

I sure wish we'd have taken the train.

Tomorrow is another day

How I hope you'll always stay

Tomorrow is another day
