Zip and Zap and the Captain's Island Page #2

---

you'll see.

Mom, please, stop...

That's enough.

A loving kiss is like rain,

it washes away the pain.

It's a secret.

No good night kiss

for your boys?

- No way.

- Yeah, no way.

What's up, blondie?

- But...?

- Shh, you'll scare him.

- Scare who?

- The ghost.

Hey, why is the window open?

So a girl came in

through the window?

You wish.

LOG RAF Come on!

He's in there.

- Who?

- The ghost.

Great, you scared him away.

Sorry, with the window open l...

We won't catch him tonight.

Who, the ghost?

There was nobody there,

you wacko.

Hey.

Wait.

What's your name?

I'm Pippi.

This girl has a screw loose.

If you would be so kind

as to follow me,

Miss Pam would like

to speak with you.

Boys, I have something to tell you.

And, well,

it's a delicate subject.

Spit it out quickly,

the donuts are waiting.

- Your parents are gone.

- What do you mean, gone? Where?

- They left.

- They'll be back.

This way we don't have to go

see his boring publisher.

Darling, there is no boring

publisher.

That's the excuse they made up

to bring you here.

They... gave up on you boys.

Burning that toy store was the

last straw. Their patience ran out.

What are you saying?

Your parents don't want you anymore

and they abandoned you here...

forever.

What? Mr. Grumpy and Mrs. Bossy

without us...?

Yeah, right! Who are they

going to boss around?

- Zap.

- What?

She's not laughing.

No.

She isn't.

The car is gone.

It's true, Zap.

They left.

They took my slingshot?

To hell with them!

Child...

Why are you crying?

You're better off without

people who don't love you.

How are you, children?

Who's winning?

Oh, my little chicks!

Listen up, my children.

We have two new members.

Welcome them like you know how.

Emoclew, emoclew!

Emoclew, emoclew, emoclew!

My children don't say "welcome,"

they say it backwards:

"Emoclew."

Now go and play.

Go on.

Okay, children.

Who feels like singing?

Me, me, me!

Wonderful.

But you know who gets to sing

the first rhyme?

Exactly!

The new boys.

Okay, little chicks, it's easy.

I sing a verse

and you make it rhyme. Got it?

Here we go!

Singing is my medicine.

I do it all the time.

I don't need a pill,

just make the song...

"Rhyme."

- "Rhyme."

- Come on, little chicks, it's easy.

Singing is my medicine.

I do it all the time.

I don't need a pill...

Go suck on a lime!

What happened here?

Did I do that?

How clumsy of me!

Let's show our new friends

what a wonderful place this is.

We're the lost children,

who can ask for anything more.

Living at a childhood home

is never a bore.

Always happy,

happy as a clam.

Because instead of parents,

we've got Miss Pam.

Be yourself and have a good time.

Do whatever you want,

it's not a crime.

You can jump in a puddle.

She can drink from the bottle.

No teeth brushing for me.

They look better black, you see?

Do whatever you want,

even undo what you didn't.

You can have it all.

With no rules the sky's the limit.

Do whatever you want,

even undo what you didn't.

With no rules, the sky's the limit.

Pippi acts with passion,

she was born for the stage.

Novels and awesome stories,

they're all the rage.

Here comes Salomon,

always with something to fix.

We've never seen him smile,

but he knows amazing tricks.

Jaime's like a robot,

a robot with one hand.

He can dust, paint and sweep,

or even play like a band.

Do whatever you want,

even undo what you didn't.

You can have it all.

With no rules, the sky's the limit.

Do whatever you want,

even undo what you didn't.

You can have it all.

With no rules, the sky's the limit.

Now smile and give us a rhyme,

give it a chance...

Come on, little chicks.

What do you say?

Eat my underpants!

No!

Do whatever you want,

even undo what you didn't.

You can have it all.

With no rules, the sky's the limit.

Do whatever you want,

even undo what you didn't.

You can have it all.

With no rules, the sky's the limit!

Good morning, darlings.

- How are we today?

- Bad.

Just like yesterday, and the day

before, and the day before...

- Yes, I got it.

- Please, let us go.

- Do it for our children.

- I am doing it for them, my dear.

Everything I do is for the children.

What have you done to them?

They'd better be safe and sound or...

Or what?

What will you do to me?

Punish me with no vacation?

Or maybe smack me?

She's crazy.

But I have an appointment

with a publisher who lives

- on this island.

- Yes, the appointment.

Did he insist by any chance

on meeting the whole family?

Did he ask you for a photo

of when you were both children

for the cover?

We're the only ones

who live on this island, my dear.

You know why?

Because this island is...

mine.

I'm sorry, but I'm not at all

interested in your novel.

It's unimaginative

and arrogant.

Typical of adults.

The children are ready.

Take them away.

Oh, you're here. Perfect.

- Come in.

- Go on.

Walk.

Isn't this thrilling?

No matter how many times

I do this, I always get

that tingle like the first day.

What are you going to do with us?

Please, don't be melodramatic.

I'm giving you a free trip.

- A trip where?

- Not where, my dear.

When.

Which memories would you like

them to retain?

Only to age eleven.

May I have the photos of them

when they were children?

Ready when you are.

TRANSFORMATION:

You can come out, don't be shy.

Welcome to the childhood home,

children.

Listen up, darlings.

Two new children

are joining our family.

Let's give them a big welcome.

Emoclew, emoclew, emoclew!

Who wants to be the first

to introduce yourself?

Me, me, me!

Hi, my name is Flecky.

Miss Pam said this is my new home

because my parents got tired of me.

Actually I'm a little sad

and I don't really feel like talking.

But when I cheer up,

I never stop.

Oh, and my shoe size

is 5 and a half.

Go ahead, my boy.

Tell us your name.

Come on, don't be shy.

Macky!

Well?

You want to hear

my last name too?

- That Flecky is a total freak.

- And the other kid's a pig.

Though she's pretty cute.

Does he think he's the only kid

who can burp his name?

Hi, new roommates!

Hi, I'm Zip and this

is my brother Zap.

- Have you picked your bed yet?

- No.

All 4 are fantastic. Except that one,

that one and that one.

So you want this one?

Is it yours? If it is,

I'll take a less fantastic one.

No, it's okay. I don't even like it.

Well, I like it

because you picked it.

Which one is yours, knucklehead?

This one.

Then that settles it.

Already moved in.

Forget it. Either move out

or I'll move you out.

Look, kid. There's only room

for one rooster in this henhouse.

And the job... is taken.

So kick the road.

Geez Louise!

Hey, it looks like there is room

for two roosters in this henhouse.

- Right, chicken?

- Rooster.

- Chicken.

- Rooster.

- Chicken!

- Rooster!

Boys, don't fight.

Talking is always the answer.

Well, unless you're deaf or mute,

they just go like this.

Never mind.

Let's see who's nicer and gives
