Ah, the uniforms! Oh, Fidget, I knew I could rely on you. Now, you didn't forget anything?
Fidget No problem. I took care of everything. Everything on the list. [tries to display the list, but finds it's not there] Uh oh.
Fidget [searching himself, to no avail]
The list, but I knew I had it!
Fidget Well, you see, it was.... It was like this; [reenacting] I was in the toy store, getting the uniforms, when I heard a 'Aroo! Aroo!'
[irritated]
You're not coming through.
Fidget [reenacting still]
A dog came. I ran I had a baby bonnet, girl in the bag, and Basil chased me!
[shocked]
What? BASIL ON THE CASE?! [furious] WHY, YOU GIBBERING LITTLE--! [groans as he holds his anger in and looks as if he's about to explode, then calms down and picks Fidget up] Oh, my dear Fidget. You have been hanging upside down too long.
Fidget You mean, you're not mad? I'm glad you're taking it so well.
Fidget [Ratigan takes Fidget behind a wall. A bell is heard ringing and screaming soon follows. Cut to Felicia holding a struggling Fidget in her paw, about to eat him]
Not me, you idiot! No, stop, you stupid furball! [He breaks free, but Felicia catches him and stuffs him into her mouth] Open up! Open up! Oh! Ay! Ah! Ooh! You're hurting my wing!
How dare that idiot Basil pokes his stupid nose into my wonderful scheme and foul up everything!
Fidget [inside Felicia's mouth]
Let me out! Let me out! [opens Felicia's mouth and still struggling for help] Help! [Felicia puts Fidget backs in her mouth with her finger]
Oh, I can just see that insufferable grin on his smug face! [realizes something] Yes. Yes, I can just see it. Felicia, release him.
Fidget [inside Felicia's mouth]
I'm too young to die!
[Felicia sulks for a moment, then spits out a battered Fidget] [holding Fidget up by his cheeks]
Fidget, you delightful little maniac. You've presented me with a singular opportunity. [drops Fidget, feigning a look of concern] Poor Basil. Oh, he's in for a little surprise.
H1 Henchman 1
[At Buckingham Palace, the Mouse queen is preparing for her speech. Outside, the two guards at the door are knocked out by Rattigan's henchmen, dressed as the guards] [As the other henchmen moves the box to the door]
Psst! Over here. Come on. Over here.
[They knock on the door]
Come in.
H2 Henchman 2
Uh, begging your Majesty's pardon? A present has just arrived in honor of your jubilee.
A present? Oh, how wonderful! Oh, I just adore jubilees.
Fidget [Hands the queen a note]
Here you are, sweetheart.
Have you been with us long? (reads the note sent with the present) "To our beloved Queen, this gift we send as her 60 year reign..." (she becomes confused at the last words) "...comes to an end"?
[Fidget and the henchmen open the box to reveal an exact duplicate of the Queen.]
How interesting.
[The Robot Queen activates and chases the real Queen around the room.]
Good gracious!
[The Robot Queen stops. We see Ratigan at the door with Hiram Flaversham at the controls]
Amazing likeness, isn't it, Your Majesty?
Professor Ratigan! [To Ratigan's henchmen] Guards! Seize this despicable creature!
[Fidget and the henchmen do nothing except grin. Ratigan takes control of the Robot Queen] [As the Queen]
Guards, seize this despicable creature.
[Ratigan cackles into the reciever while Fidget and the henchmen seize the Queen]
How dare you!
Take her away. [Rings his bell, dooming the Queen to be a meal for Felicia]
Let go of me, you ruffians!
Fidget Move along, honey!
You fiends! [crying] Traitors!
Fidget We have to lighten the load! [looks pointedly at Olivia]
[Mockingly]
Ohh. You want to lighten the load? Excellent idea!
Fidget [Ratigan grabs Fidget and tosses him overboard] [as he pitifully flutters in the air]
No! Not me! Wait, I can't fly! I can't fly! [falls towards the river]
[London, 1897.] [The camera pans slowly through a small street. A horse drawn carriage drives by. The horse snorts and neighs as the focus moves below the carriage and slowly zooms in on a tiny shop, Flaversham’s Toys.] [Inside, Olivia and her father are celebrating Olivia’s 5th birthday. Olivia plays with a small rocking horse as her father adjusts his apron.]
You know, Daddy, this is my very best birthday.
HF Hiram Flaversham
Ahh…but I haven’t given you your present yet.
[Excited]
What is it? What is it?
HF Hiram Flaversham
Now, now. Close your eyes. [He moves to a small cupboard as Olivia tries to sneak a peek between her fingers.] Uh-uh-uh-uh. Auch, no. No peeking now.
[Olivia giggles as Flaversham returns to the table, a small toy in his hand that resembles a flowerbud. He winds the key and sets it in front of her. As a gentle tune plays, Olivia opens her eyes and sees that the bud has turned into a mouse ballerina, who dances for her.] [Gasps]
Oh, Daddy! You made this just for me?
[Outside, a peg-legged figure slowly approaches. He cackles evilly as his shadow looms over the door to the toy shop.] [Inside, the doll has finished her dance, and Olivia gets down from her chair to hug Flaversham.]
You’re the most wonderful father in the… in the whole world!
[The tender moment is interrupted as the locked door begins to rattle. Olivia and Flaversham look towards the door as the rattling becomes more intense. Flaversham puts his arms around his daughter protectively.]
Who is that?
HF Hiram Flaversham
I-I don’t know! Quickly, dear, stay in here and don’t come out!
Fidget [Flaversham hides her in the cupboard and stands in front of it, just as Fidget, the bat, bursts in though the window.] [From inside her hiding place, Olivia cracks the door and watches in terror as her father and Fidget struggle. The table flies towards the cupboard, shutting the door and pushing Olivia back.]
Now I gotcha, toy maker! [Cackles]
HF Hiram Flaversham
Oh, no! Olivia!
[Olivia pushes against the door and is able to move the table. She creaks the door open and steps out. In was slient, when the shop is dark; furniture is scattered as empty paint buckets are spilling out. Olivia goes to the window, calling out to Flaversham.]
Daddy, where are you? Daddy…where are you?! Daddy! [Echoing] DADDY!!
[As Olivia’s cries echo in the night, the camera zooms out into the clouds.]
