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!
LR Little Richard

Hey, Csendes! Silence! It's the blanket! [Then the others stop suddenly]
A Appliances
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.
Kirby 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]
Any news? I'm dying down here!
Is it the master? Is it the master? [echoes]
[daydreaming]
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]
[Just as they are about to hug, Rob disappears; rips back to reality, and the car drives past, making Blanky lament]
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?
[The appliances put everything back]
Sorry for that little interruption, folks. We return to our regularly scheduled program at this time.
Kirby [Blanky cries hard while holding the picture of young Rob, their Master, after realizing the Master hasn't returned; then begins to wail loud] [annoyed at Blanky crying, growls]
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]
Kirby In the garbage!
Kirby Wimp!
Kirby 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!
Kirby Let me have it.
Kirby [The picture of young Rob flies through this air and crashes, Blanky gasps in shock] [shocked]
Oh, no.
[The other appliances go toward this broken photo stand of Rob, quite suddenly, cold air breezes through the cottage, and Air Conditioner laughs ironically]
What are you laughing at?
AC Air Conditioner
[stops laughing and smirks]
Absolutely nothin', nothin' at all.
I think he was laughin' with us.
AC Air Conditioner
You know somethin', you're a real bright little lamp.
Oh, thanks. [realizes, then offended] Hey!
AC Air Conditioner
You guys really have an attachment for that kid, don't ya?
AC Air Conditioner
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.
Well, at least, we try to be optimistic.
AC Air Conditioner
"Optimistic"?! Somebody untie the knot in this guy's cord!
Kirby [angrily]
Why don't you just shut off?!
AC Air Conditioner
[sarcastically]
Hey, I'm real scared there, Kirby. What are you gonna do, suck me to death?
Kirby [offended]
Hmph!
AC Air Conditioner
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!
AC Air Conditioner
So what? He's a kid, he has a family. They move away, he moves away. It's a package deal.
AC Air Conditioner
[interrupts]
He's not coming back, pure and simple.
Kirby [to Air Conditioner]
Oh, yeah? Did you talk to him recently or somethin'? They could drive up any second.
[to Kirby]
You really think so?
Kirby [to Blanky]
I'm not talkin' to you.
AC Air Conditioner
The whole bunch of you got to have a combined wattage of five, maybe less. It's been years. It's scrap-metal time.
[angrily]
Well, you can do what you like. We're not gonna give up hope.
AC Air Conditioner
[sarcastically]
That's real touchin', Toaster. You're gonna get me bawlin' like a babe any time now.
AC Air Conditioner
Sure, I'm jealous of a bunch of dimwits.
[angrily]
Yeah. Because The Master never played with you.
Kirby [angrily]
'Cause you're stuck in the wall!
AC Air Conditioner
[blows cold air, angrily]
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!
[worried]
We didn't mean it! Really!
AC Air Conditioner
[The appliances cover themselves from the sparks] [roaring]
IT'S MY FUNCTION!!!!! [begins glowing in red-shift and then bright burst orange and sparks fly out of his mouth]
Kirby [The other appliances run away as Air Conditioner overheats] [alarmed]
HE'S GONNA BLOW!
Kirby [Blanky, Radio and Lampy pull out their plugs from two outlets and take cover] [behind chair]
THE FUSE!
[Air Conditioner continues to rage until he finally explodes. Toaster and Lampy carefully peek from behind the stairs and the other appliances see Air Conditioner's blown up remains and his mouthpiece falls off]
Poor Air Conditioner.
I didn't know he'd take it so hard.
Kirby Well, he was a jerk anyway.
[hearing something]
Hey, hey. What's that? What is it?
[Revving is heard] [happily]
A car!
Kirby [angrily]
I don't want to hear another word about cars!
[agreeing with Kirby]
You said it.
Kirby Just don't even start!
[The other appliances pause for a few seconds, and when they think The Master is gonna pick them up, they hide. But then, they hear the hammer, and look out the window to see "For Sale" sign, Blanky looks shocked. In the next scene, Radio hums "Taps" as the lowers his antenna in the military fashion, Blanky sobs and falls to the floor and Lampy moans sadly] [angrily]
STOP IT!!! [jumps onto the soapbox] We're going out to find him!
RL Radio, Lampy, Kirby, and Blanky
WHAT?!
Kirby What are you talking about?! What do you mean?!
Exactly what I said. We're gonna go out and find The Master.
Well, how exactly would you propose we're gonna do that, exactly?
Kirby Oh, come off it. Be serious!
[to Kirby; annoyed]
I am serious!
Kirby You're insane. [backs away]
Why, if only we were all wiener dogs, our problems will be solved!
[Lampy, Kirby, Blanky and Toaster stare at Radio] [confused]
What?
Or maybe it was a Basset Hound?
Kirby [confused]
You're all insane. [backs away a little more]
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?
Kirby Brains wouldn't hurt, either.
[normal voice]
Yeah, pipe down, Carpet Breath!
Well, I'm going with or without you.
Kirby 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.
Listen to this: "World War II, the Normandy Invasion! And who's there but Lampy to light the way?"
[The appliances look at Kirby]
You know, I thought it'd be good to have somebody come along, who's really...strong!
And oblivious to reality.
[hits his friends in annoyance]
Well?
Kirby [pauses, and a few seconds later, he begrudgingly joins in, under his breath]
I just know I'm gonna regret this.
[The rest of the other appliances cheer]
[opens fuse box and pulls out last fuse]
Wow. This was our last fuse.
See? [puts last fuse in transmitter] It's a good thing we're getting out of here.
[turns on kitchen light]
I've always loved travel, anyway. The open road, the smell of the wind in my face, the flies clogging up my grille.
Kirby 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!
[annoyed]
Shut up! Shut up!
TK Toaster, Kirby and Blanky
[annoyed]
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.
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.
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.
[Kirby moves forward; Lampy lands on Blanky]
OW!
[angrily; referring to Lampy]
He stepped on me!
BA Blanky and Kirby
Did too!
[annoyed]
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?
[calmly and smiling]
No, no, not yet, but we will be soon. [rubs Blanky's head] We got a long way to go.
Kirby [warily; agreeing with Toaster]
Oh, boy. You're tellin' me.

[The other appliances stop at a clearing in a bramble patch]
Hey, everybody! Look! A clearing!
Kirby Great. Let's spread out The Blanket and have a picnic.
But I'm full of stickers.
Kirby 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?!
Kirby Yeah!
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!
[Kirby and Lampy angrily swarm around Radio]
Knock it off, you guys! We should all settle down and try to get some sleep.
[Lampy drops the rock. Next scene shifts to Lampy laying his head on a rock like a pillow. He hears a sound and sees Radio drawing the dirt circle in the dirt] [about the circle in the dirt]
This is my sleeping space, see? And nobody crosses this line.
Yeah? Well, you better not wake us up at 6:00 as usual.
Kirby What are you complaining about? You didn't do any work today.
[Blanky crawls to Lampy] [glares at Blanky]
Go find your own place to sleep, you little fuzzball. [goes to sleep]
[Blanky tries going into Radio's sleeping space] [stops Blanky]
Watch it! Hey! Hey! Hey! What, are you blind! It's the line. Aht-aht!
Kirby [annoyed]
Good night! [falls asleep]
[Blanky tries cuddling up to Toaster, who then wakes up] [tired, shoos Blanky away]
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]
What's the matter, Kirby?
Kirby Oh, battery's running low. We should give it a rest. So turn out that light!
[Lampy does so in annoyance; the appliances stop at a clearing in a dark forest]
Do we have to stop here?
Just long enough to lose our minds! We'll be cannibals in a few days, I've seen it happen!
Kirby 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!
[Lampy turns around and sees the scary face] [scared]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!!! [runs and joins the others in the bushes]
Oh, I thought you were a goner.
You know, guys, we are gonna need some kind of shelter.
Kirby Yeah, shelter from the likes of them.
[imitating boxer]
Come on over here and say that, Chrome-Dome!
Kirby [Lampy blows raspberries at Kirby] [shocked and angry]
WHAT?!
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!
[Radio and Kirby are about to fight but Toaster comes between them]
Hey! Look!
[everyone sees that Blanky has made himself into a tent; next scene switches to the ending of "The Star-Spangled Banner"]
And that concludes our broadcast day. This is Walter Winchell signing off. Good night, America, and all the ships at sea. [static]
[pats Blanky, smiling]
Thanks.
Oh, that's all right. [yawns and falls asleep]
[tapping on the rock, and prepares to go sleep, but then looks at Toaster]
So, uh, what's this thing with you and The Blanket?
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.
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!
I think I know what you're talking about. It's like the feeling I get when I think about The Master.
[Flashback of Lampy and Young Rob, the appliances' Master] [narrating]
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]
Kirby [see the waterfall, shocked]
Oh, what's-- What's-- Oh, no! Oh, no! [tries to swallow his cord]
GET THE CORD OUT OF HIS MOUTH! DON'T LET HIM SWALLOW IT!
[Toaster jumps on Kirby and switches him off. A few minutes later, he pushes Kirby while reviving him]
Just shorted right out.
Cracked up and snapped. He sold the farm. Poor chump.
[to Lampy]
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?
TL Toaster, Lampy, Radio and Blanky
[happily]
Yay! Yay! Yeah!
Kirby [gutteral growl]
LAY OFF!!! Just lay off!
We were worried about you.
You gave us a real scare, Pal.
Kirby Well, there's nothing wrong with me, "Pal", so just back off.
Kirby 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.
[Toaster, Lampy, Radio, and Blanky are stunned in confusion] [hurtfully]
But, Kirby-
Kirby Especially you, you little rag. [pauses a few seconds when they hear the waterfall] So, uh, how do we get across this thing, anyway?
[Scene cuts to Toaster, Lampy, Radio and Blanky tied up cords with Kirby]
I think Houdini did this once. Why, if I remember right, he was out of the hospital in no time.
Well, that's encouraging.
[Kirby swings Toaster to the other side of the cliff near the waterfall, and Toaster tries to pull the others]
Hey, guys, we're not dead!
