Scenes with Toaster
17 scenesHey, come over here. I'm gonna-
Why, do you dare to cross foils with the greatest Saxon swordsman in the land? Haven't you the slightest idea who you're dealing with?
If your saber wags as loosely as your Norman tongue, you'll be run through the instant. Defend yourself, Sir Lampy of Locksley! [continually whacks Lampy with his antenna, Blanky falls on them] A blow for Richard! A blow for Marian! A blow for Mario, the garbage man! And for Carl, and all the boys at the delicatessen! [Toaster looks hopefully as Kirby moves forward] And here's one for the guys on Fifth Street! Hey! No!
Good morning, everyone.
Got you now! Leave it to me! [Then Toaster bursts the radio up on the stair rails] Hang onto your hats, you devil dogs! Because the master of Bebop blaster of all time is gonna give you a SOUL INJECTION!
Wop-bop-a-loo-mop-a-lop-bam-boom. Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy. Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy. Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy. Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy. A-wop-bop-a-loo-mop-a-lop-bam-boom. / I got a gal named Sue, She knows just what to do. I got a gal named Sue. She knows just what to do. She rocks to the east. She rocks to the west. but she's the gal that I love best. Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy. Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy. WHOO!! Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy. Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy. Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy. A-wop-bop-a-loo-mop-a-lop-bam-boom. / I got a gal named Daisy, she almost drives me crazy. I got a gal named Daisy, she almost drives me crazy. She knows how to love me, yes, indeed. Boy, you don't know what you're doin' to me. Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy. Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy. WHOO!! Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy. Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy. Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy.

A-wop-bop-a-loo-mop-a-lop-bam-boom.
Hey, Csendes! Silence! It's the blanket! [Then the others stop suddenly]
A CAR?!
A CAR!! [Then the appliances set up a tower going to the attic]
Alright, fellas. easy now. A little to the left, whoa, careful now.
I'm gonna fall.
Keep climbing! And you, get that lights outta my eyes. [Lampy turns off the light and Blanky continues up to the attic, but he looks out the boarded up oval window and sees the car coming down the road]
Can you see?
Is it him? Is it him?
Any news? I'm dying down here!
Is it the master? Is it the master? [echoes]
It's him! He's back! [dreams that the master gets out of the car and runs up to the cottage] It's the Master! [flies down the stairs and the door opens]
Master!
Blanky!
Well, was it him? [Toaster frowns at him] Well, I'm just curious as to whether or not it was him. I hate being left in the dark, you know? [sees Blanky comes down; Toaster lands on Kirby] I guess we can assume that it wasn't him, right?
Let's get back to work.
Sorry for that little interruption, folks. We return to our regularly scheduled program at this time.
Cry, cry, weep, wail 'n' sob, it's disgusting! Every time, I can't believe it, every single - Hey, give me that stupid picture! [tries to suck in Rob's picture frame]
No, no!
I'll just put it away!
In the garbage!
No, you can't!
Wimp!
Let GO!
He's not coming back anyway.
He might. The fact is there's just not enough facts.
Fight breaks out in Peaceful Mountain Cottage, shocking the world, and bringing Geneva talks to a grinding halt!
Stop it!
Let me have it.
You can't!
Oh, no.
What are you laughing at?
Absolutely nothin', nothin' at all.
I think he was laughin' with us.
You know somethin', you're a real bright little lamp.
Oh, thanks. [realizes, then offended] Hey!
You guys really have an attachment for that kid, don't ya?
Yes. He was our master.
Well, that's real nice. And any day now, he might come rompin' back, huh? Just come whistlin' right back in through that door, and everything'll be the same. Real peachy-keen-like.
Uh-huh.
It's a possibility.
Well, at least, we try to be optimistic.
"Optimistic"?! Somebody untie the knot in this guy's cord!
Hey, I'm real scared there, Kirby. What are you gonna do, suck me to death?
What is it with you guys, anyway? You act like you just came off the assembly line. Now, get this through your chrome: [blows the gust of cold wind at the other appliances] We've been dumped! Abandoned!
But he loved us.
That's right.
So what? He's a kid, he has a family. They move away, he moves away. It's a package deal.
But maybe, they're all-
He's not coming back, pure and simple.
Oh, yeah? Did you talk to him recently or somethin'? They could drive up any second.
The whole bunch of you got to have a combined wattage of five, maybe less. It's been years. It's scrap-metal time.
Well, you can do what you like. We're not gonna give up hope.
That's real touchin', Toaster. You're gonna get me bawlin' like a babe any time now.
I think you're jealous.
Sure, I'm jealous of a bunch of dimwits.
Yeah. Because The Master never played with you.
So...it's back to that stupid static again. You think I don't know what's going on here? I know what goes on this cottage. It's a conspiracy, and every one of you low-watts is in on it. Just because you can move around, you think you're better than I am! I'M NOT AN INVALID; I WAS DESIGNED TO STICK IN A WALL! I LIKE BEIN' STUCK IN THIS STUPID WALL! I can't help it if the kid was too short to reach my dials!
We didn't mean it! Really!
IT'S MY FUNCTION!!!!! [begins glowing in red-shift and then bright burst orange and sparks fly out of his mouth]
Don't! Wait! Wait!
YANK YOUR CORDS!
THE FUSE!
Poor Air Conditioner.
I didn't know he'd take it so hard.
Well, he was a jerk anyway.
You said it.
Sounds pretty close.
Just don't even start!
Sounds real close.
STOP IT!!! [jumps onto the soapbox] We're going out to find him!
WHAT?!
What are you talking about?! What do you mean?!
Exactly what I said. We're gonna go out and find The Master.
Yeah, no matter what.
Well, how exactly would you propose we're gonna do that, exactly?
I... I don't know.
Oh, come off it. Be serious!
I am serious!
You're insane. [backs away]
Why, if only we were all wiener dogs, our problems will be solved!
What?
Or maybe it was a Basset Hound?
It was a news flash I picked up yesterday about a dog. [country accent] In an amazing show of loyalty and courage, a terrier name Grover traveled hundreds of miles to be reunited with his owner. The poor little critter was accidentally left behind on a fishing trip three weeks ago. And he had to find his way across rugged mountain peaks and scorching deserts in order to get home. Little Grover turned out to be one spunky pup.
If a dog can do it, we can do it!
But a dog has legs.
Toaster Ah, don't be a wet blanket.
Actually, legs would help, you know?
Brains wouldn't hurt, either.
Lay off!
Well, I'm going with or without you.
I'd say we stay. We'll have a new Master anyway as soon as someone buys the Cottage.
But, I don't want a new Master. I want our Master.
Well, what about the rest of you?
You boys are going to need a leader! Why, alone, you wouldn't last for five minutes out there! I used to be a mountaineer, see? And together, we can stand against the Forces of Nature.
Were you really a mountaineer?
Sure. Ask anybody. Ask Teddy Roosevelt. Why, we shot moose together on the Klondike.
Wow. Well, you know, I was just thinking, you guys will need somebody bright along, too.
Good idea.
Listen to this: "World War II, the Normandy Invasion! And who's there but Lampy to light the way?"
You know, I thought it'd be good to have somebody come along, who's really...strong!
And loud!
And grumpy!
And oblivious to reality.
Well?
I just know I'm gonna regret this.
[The rest of the other appliances cheer]
See? [puts last fuse in transmitter] It's a good thing we're getting out of here.
I've always loved travel, anyway. The open road, the smell of the wind in my face, the flies clogging up my grille.
Yeah? Well, how are we going to travel?
Hey, I've got an idea! We can all get on top of the bed, you know, and then Kirby can push us. [Kirby pushes the bed with Toaster, Blanky, Radio, and Lampy on board, and tries to push gently down the stairs, but pushes too hard, and sends Toaster, Blanky, Radio, and Lampy falling down with the bed] No, no, no. Hey! What about The Master's pogo stick? [the appliances jump on the Pogo stick, try to go forward, and succeed for a bit, but end up going backward in the wrong direction on it, and crash] No, that's no good. Hey! How about we're in the refrigerator on a skateboard, and Kirby can pull? [Kirby, with a rope attached to him, pulls the skateboard with the refrigerator on top, and tries to pull gently, but ends up pulling too hard that the rope snaps from the skateboard, which sends Kirby flying forward, and causes the refrigerator to fall off, tilt over, and land on the floor with a loud thunk, as Blanky, now blue, and with his teeth chattering, shivers in the freezer, due to the ice freezing him] No, no, no. Hey!
Shut up!
Let's see somebody else try for a change. [next scene with the appliances, minus Radio, on Blanky] Arise, Hassan. Arise, o magic carpet.
We need a longer cord.
Why, we need an alternate power source, I'd say.
I... I guess this is it.
Uh-huh. [Then, Blanky takes a look at his picture of The Master]
Hey, Blanket!
You ready to go, Blanket?
Yes, I'm ready.
Okay, Kirby.
I can't see the road anymore. Are we going the right direction?
I don't think so, unless we can work something out with you guys.
Why, you boys are gonna need a navigator.
Navigator?
Why, sure. I'll just tune in on a radio signal from The City, see? I can take you right there lickety-split. [after going through many staticky radio stations, he finally gets a clear signal from the city] North by Northwest. Watch out for low-flying aircraft.
What's wrong?
Did not!
Did too!
Did not!
Did too!
Hey, hey, hey, come on. How do you guys expect us to get there if you are fighting all the time?
You mean, we're not there yet?
No, no, not yet, but we will be soon. [rubs Blanky's head] We got a long way to go.

Hey, everybody! Look! A clearing!
Great. Let's spread out The Blanket and have a picnic.
But I'm full of stickers.
Well, my bags are full of thistles and sticks and who knows what else! Whose idea was it to come this way anyway?
Why, it was the Lamp's, I tell you guys!
Oh, yeah?! Who's supposed to be the big-shot navigator around here, Mr. Loudmouth?! Mr. Big...Loudmouth?!
Yeah!
Where are we, anyway?
Now, look here, fellas, just give me a second, and, uh- [notices the small pebble] Whoa, listen to this! It's the top of the 9th, the bases are loaded, and Pee-Wee Reese is at the plate. There's the pitch, [kicks the pebble in the air] and he connects! [hits the pebble with his antenna, which bounces off Toaster, Kirby, and Lampy respectively] Oh, and it's the Triple Play!
Knock it off, you guys! We should all settle down and try to get some sleep.
This is my sleeping space, see? And nobody crosses this line.
Yeah? Well, you better not wake us up at 6:00 as usual.
What are you complaining about? You didn't do any work today.
Yeah.
Go find your own place to sleep, you little fuzzball. [goes to sleep]
Watch it! Hey! Hey! Hey! What, are you blind! It's the line. Aht-aht!
Come on. I'm not The Master. Go snuggle someplace else. I'm trying to get some sleep. Now go on.
[Blanky looks dejected and sleeps by himself]
Are you sure this is the right direction?
Why certainly sure as I am honest.
In that case we're definitely lost.
But there might be lions in there.
He's such a baby! Waah-waah!
[Toaster pushes both Lampy and Radio away in annoyance, and gently rubs Blanky's head, which makes him feel better]
What's the matter, Kirby?
Oh, battery's running low. We should give it a rest. So turn out that light!
Do we have to stop here?
Only for a while.
Just long enough to lose our minds! We'll be cannibals in a few days, I've seen it happen!
And you'd be the first to go, Dial Face.
Hey, guys! We can stay in here! Look! [turns on his light to reveal a scary face on a tree; the appliances scream in horror and hide in the bushes] What's wrong now?
Eaten alive, the poor sap!
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!!! [runs and joins the others in the bushes]
Oh, I thought you were a goner.
Ah, ya wish.
You know, guys, we are gonna need some kind of shelter.
Yeah, shelter from the likes of them.
Oh, sorry about that. I meant to say, "Vacuous Vacuum". [Kirby angrily grumbles] Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let's get ready to rumble. In the blue corner, undefeated champion, Rocko "the Radio" Ratuno. Ding! Oh, and there's the bell! They're on each other like black on a bowling ball!
And that concludes our broadcast day. This is Walter Winchell signing off. Good night, America, and all the ships at sea. [static]
Thanks.
Oh, that's all right. [yawns and falls asleep]
So, uh, what's this thing with you and The Blanket?
What thing?
You know, all of a sudden, you're being so darn nice to him all of a sudden.
Oh, that. Well, I was just thinking, and I-I got this feeling I should be nicer to him for a change, you know? And now I feel better.
Wow, that's weird.
What's weird about it?
I don't know. I mean, you were never this nice to me before. And now, all of a sudden, you're nice to him all the time, and I don’t know. I'm, uh, I'm just trying to understand, trying to figure out, you know, exactly what it all means.
Well, it's kind of hard to describe. It's like being next to a new loaf of bread. [pauses] Hmm. It's, uh — Let's see. It's like a warm, toasty feeling inside. [Lampy thinks] Well, like a glow!
Yeah.
I think I know what you're talking about. It's like the feeling I get when I think about The Master.
Yeah, that's it.
I remembered the first time my light bulb burned out. [the light bulb blows out, and Young Rob takes it out of Lampy] And I thought, "That's it. It's over! I'm burned out! 86'ed to the showers!" But then, The Master put in a brand-new bulb... [Rob puts in the new light bulb and goes back to reading] ...and I just glowed. [the flashback ends, and he turns off his light bulb]
Well, that is all there is to it.
That's very interesting. [pauses] Good night, Slot Head. [goes to sleep]
Good night. [yawns, then goes to sleep]
We're trapped here like rats! Small, little rats with no hair and one leg!
BLANKY! BLANKY!
BLANKET? BLANKET? Where are you, you little wimp?!?
LAMPY?!
[Lampy falls off the chair and loses consciousness, the other appliances go toward the unconscious Lampy as the successfully recharged car battery hums and zaps, and the other appliances sadly stare at the unconscious Lampy, thinking he had died]
Blanky? Blanky, where are you? [slowly] Blaaaaankyyyyy?
No, look, just relax. You've done enough. We'll look for him... somehow.
I am feeling a little burned out.
Listen to this: "The Lamp was awarded a Purple Heart today for being wounded in the line of duty. Lamps across the nation were switched off for a moment of silence in respect for his act of bravery."
Hey, listen.
I hear him.
But I can't see him anywhere.
Maybe he's calling from Blanket Heaven. He's a little puffy yellow angel with a knob nose.
Oh, what's-- What's-- Oh, no! Oh, no! [tries to swallow his cord]
KIRBY, NO!
GET THE CORD OUT OF HIS MOUTH! DON'T LET HIM SWALLOW IT!
SWITCH HIM OFF!
Just shorted right out.
Cracked up and snapped. He sold the farm. Poor chump.
How's he look?
A little better than you, actually. [to Toaster] Keep it up, Slots! Even carpet sweeping motions! He should come around sooner or later.
Hey, guys, I think it's working. [the other appliances went to him] Kirby? Kirby, can you hear me?
Wake up. Wake up. [Kirby wakes up] Kirby?
You're all right!
Yay! Yay! Yeah!
What's the matter?
We were worried about you.
You gave us a real scare, Pal.
Well, there's nothing wrong with me, "Pal", so just back off.
Don't be angry.
Just keep your antennas and knobs and wires and rivets off my chrome. Who needs you guys, anyway; Got to drag you around all the time, bunch of dead weight? I'd be better-off without ya.
Especially you, you little rag. [pauses a few seconds when they hear the waterfall] So, uh, how do we get across this thing, anyway?
I think Houdini did this once. Why, if I remember right, he was out of the hospital in no time.
Well, that's encouraging.
Okay, Kirby.
Hey, guys, we're not dead!
K-K-Kirby, what should we do?!
I-I-I don't know.
Hey! I got an idea. [Elmo St. Peters continues to try doing the operation, Toaster closes the curtains. Elmo looks up; Blanky and Kirby make spooky sounds. As soon as Elmo sees his reflection on Toaster, Kirby laughs like a ghost, and as Elmo screams, he runs around and runs into the pole, which knocks him out] See? It worked! I told you it would work! I told ya, I told ya, I told ya, I knew, I knew, I knew! It worked!
JAILBREAK! JAILBREAK! JAILBREAK! [imitates a siren]
[The Refrigerator pounds the door down; then, Quadruped goes in the Monster Truck. He almost starts him up, but he puts his seatbelt on first; then, he ignites the Monster Truck and drives away quickly, while the broken appliances run away back to their owners and Toaster and his gang rescue Radio and went off into the city with him and a baby carriage]
Oh, excuse me please. Could you tell us how to get to, uh - To, uh-
2470 McBean Parkway. [the stoplight points right and his light turns green; Rob and Chris drove up to the cottage, the same time as the appliances arrive at Rob's apartment] A113. This is it.
Go ahead, if you can.
We'll have to wait.
So, let's wait inside. Relax.
But I think it's locked. Isn't it?
Luckily, guys, my war-training included Inter-Appliance Codes, like this one. I may simply render the Secret Appliance Knock, and we'll be welcomed by the Native Machinery. So step aside, my meager companions. [begins to knock the door, then he rapidly taps the heads of Toaster, Lampy and Blanky. The door opens and Plugsy comes out] Hiya, pal.
It's them. [he and the other modern appliances whisper inaudibly. Them, the door opens again, and he comes back out calmly] How do yuns do? Tarry not upon our doorstop. Please, feel free to enter. All of yuns. [Radio looks inside and he sees a lot of new-looking appliances]
Boy, he sure has grown.
Look at him. What a heartbreaker.
He graduated, too.
Of course. He knows how to work hard.
He's all big now. I hope he still needs us.
Still needs you? That's the silliest thing I've ever heard!
Why, if it isn't Ol' Rabbit Ears!
Why, if it isn't Ol' Loudmouth!
How are you doing?
Oh, I've got a few more seasons left.
The cottage just wasn't the same after they took you away.
Yeah, it wasn't as noisy.
Why, I see you haven't changed.
Kind of gives you a sense of security, doesn't it?
Where is The Master?
Didn't anybody tell you? Boy, is he gonna be surprised when he gets back. He just left a little while ago to drive up to the co---
Hey!
What's the idea?
Oh, many pardons. Were you watching that channel?
Yup. [sighs] We did good.
You know, I've been thinking that this college business seems like a good idea. I could absorb a lot of interesting facts.
Why, listen to this! I'm picking up something — I think it's a news flash! President Roosevelt has declared tonight a national holiday, in honor of those five amazing appliances we've all been hearing about, so lock up the office, take down the top, and open that rumble seat. Last one to Coney Island is a party pooper. From the Starlight Roof high atop the Ritz, we wish our intrepid little friends, the best of luck, and a fond farewell.
Ah, you're all a bunch of junk.
Oh, I'm aching from joy!
