Tom & Jerry: Back to Oz Page #4

Sure. He's a wizard, right?

Ha! Wizard deluxe.

Yeah. He's fine!

Well, it's up to us

to carry on without him.

Anyone know where we are?

It's the Ferocious Forest.

The Munchkin River

is just beyond those trees.

Oh! Why, that river runs

right through the Emerald City.

I'll cut some wood for a raft.

And we'll float in right

under the Nome King's gnarly nose hairs.

"Gnarly"?

I call it the ruffled, rugged look.

I could let them sail into my clutches.

But that Dorothy girl is tricky.

Unlikely as it seems,

she could find a way to stop me.

Being the Nome King and all,

you could attack them from underground.

Did I ask for ideas?

No, sir.

But that's not bad.

If I can delay them,

I'll grab Dorothy

before she reaches the river.

What's jumpin', Jackson?

- I've got a job for you.

- Ha!

A frail, a bale, a pail,

and four flea-bitten tails.

I need you to stall them

as only a Jitterbug can.

No big, Kingy.

Those cats out there,

it's right out of theirjiving pants.

Pop the plugsy, Mugsy.

Milliweedy, millirooney.

Dig you later, King, and soon-ey.

This sure is a creepy place.

Excuse me, this is my home.

It ain't creepy.

It's terrifying.

Oh, what's that?

Well, all right. Root-eroony.

The Jitterbugsy coming

to drive you all loony

Did you just hear what I just heard?

That noise don't come

from no ordinary bird

It may be just a cricket

or a critter in the trees

Giving me the jitters

in the joints around my knees

I think lsee a pigeon

and it's fuzzing and it's furry

I haven't got a brain

but I think I ought to worry

I haven't got a heart

but I have a palpitation

It's not a cup of flowers

I don't like this situation

Are you gonna stand around

and let him fill us full of horror?

I'd like to roar him down

But I think I lost my roarer

- It's a who's-is

- It's a who's-is?

- It's a what's-is

- ALL:
It's a what's-is

- Who's that?

- Who's that?

- Who's that?

- Who's that?

Who's that hiding in the treetops?

It's that rascal

The Jitterbug

Should you catch him buzzing round you

Keep away from

The Jitterbug

Oh, the bats, and the bees

and the breeze in the trees

Have a terrible, horrible buzz

But the bats, and the bees

and the breeze in the trees

Couldn't do what the Jitterbug does

So, be careful of that rascal

Keep away from

The Jitterbug

Ah, that joint is jumping now.

Oh, the jitter

Oh, the bug

Oh, the Jitterbug

bug-a-bug, bug-a-bug, boo!

In the twitter

In the throes

Ooh, you're cooking now.

Oh, the critters got me dancing

on 1,000 toes

There she blows

Lookin' good!

Hope you like dancing!

Without might, it's a current affair.

Whoa! Hey! Wait! Wait! Wait!

This is mystifying, mortifying.

Quite absurd, embarrassing.

Exasperating, even awkward.

Hey, now, Kansas, don't put me on ice.

Jitterbug's honor, I swear! I'll be nice.

Maybe if you behave.

Wait--

- Thanks, boys.

What are you doing?

The spell is broken.

Don't stop me now, Jackson.

I'm cooking with gas.

Oh, the jitter

Let's get out of here

before anything else happens.

There's the river.

What's happening?

- Oh, no! Not again!

- Earthquake!

Dorothy!

Gah!

Hang on!

Oh! Oh my!

Look out!

Oh, that's underhanded,

at the very least undergrounded.

I hate playing the villain.

But a job's a job.

Throw him in the river.

Ah! Don't do that! I'll rust!

Even worse, I'll sink!

Oh! We got you, Tinny!

Here we go, being naughty again.

You kiddies may want to

close your eyes now.

Okay, you names.

Let's shake it.

Whoa!

That's a stretch!

Help!

I... I can't swim!

Grab the rope!

Hook it around the Tin Man.

We'll do the rest.

Hang on, Toto.

Looks like your friends escaped, missy.

But you won't be so lucky.

Take them to the Nome King.

Why, I've got an idea.

Play along.

Careful, Dorothy. It's cramped in here.

You know those nomes

can't make really big tunnels.

Can't make a big tunnel?

Listen, straw head,

you could run a train through here.

Why, I've seen bigger gopher holes

in our carrot patch.

Ohh! Is that so? Jump to it, nomes.

There, how do you like that, missy?

Careful, men. We don't want to start a--

Cave-in.

That was very brave.

Are you all right?

And they call my ticker noisy.

Your Highness, allow me to present

Jerry Mouse of Kansas.

Charmed, I'm sure.

Jerry, meet my good friend,

the Mouse Queen of Oz.

I must say, Kansas mice

have impeccable manners.

We have to get to the Emerald City

as fast as possible.

But I'm still a little rusty.

Bring my coach.

I would be honored

if you would ride with me.

At least, they're out of trouble.

But we can't swim the river.

So, we'll have to take the long way,

through the forest.

I was once what you are, Tom, my boy.

Yeah, I wasn't always

the steadfast hero type you see today.

No-o-o!

Now it's my turn

to help a fellow feline become fearless.

It's a good thing we ditched those guards.

Now, we can sneak into

the Emerald City undetected.

Maybe if we go to the Wizard's Palace,

we might find something

magical to help us.

- Oh! That's a great idea.

- Come on.

We made it.

And the Nome King has no idea we're here.

Well, you gotta get up pretty early

in the morning to outsmart me.

My brain is just too sharp

for his corny traps.

Well, as I live and breathe.

It's the brainiac.

And Miss Goody Two-shoes,

all caught in the same trap.

You may notice a few changes around here.

Did I ever tell you when I took on

an entire herd of elephants? Hmm?

I just look 'em straight in the eye. Yup.

Them beady little red eyes.

I knew I was surrounded, so I gave 'em

the old one-two-four.

Yep, nothing gets past

my cat-like reflexes.

Then again, you know that.

You're a cat.

Hey. You're not Tom.

But if you're not Tom, that means...

Carry the two...

Jiminy Crickets! He's gone!

Spooks!

I don't believe in spooks,

I don't believe in spooks.

I don't believe in spooks,

I don't believe in spooks.

Oh!

Oh, imagine me,

getting all spooked over spooks.

Those preposterous...

Why, they're nothing

but little old red lightbulbs.

Right guys?

Oh!

Oh, we're in quite a pickle.

- What do we do now, Dorothy?

- I don't know.

Uncle Henry and Auntie Em

are always telling me

I'm too young

and to stay out of everyone's way.

And now, I'm starting to think

that they were right.

Oh, don't say things like that.

You can't mean it.

Oh, why not?

Because you're Dorothy.

You always find a way.

Well, okay.

I'll let you off this time easy,

since you didn't realize

you was dealing with the king of the...

Well, well, well.

Look what cat they dragged in.

That couldn't be

the ex-King of the Forest.

You know, boys,

I'm very disappointed in you.

You were supposed to

bring back some meat.

Not a big cream puff!

That's Mr. Ex-Cream Puff to you.

Besides, everyone knows

I'm the real King of the Forest.

Oh, then this must be

one of your royal subjects?

- Tom?

- You see, I'm on a "seefood" diet.

I eat what I see.

I eat what I see. Seefood!

Well, you can't intimidate us
