Screen Story by BERT I. GORDON
Produced and Directed by BERT I. GORDON
Outskirts of Hainesville-DAY Thunder and lightning can be seen and heard, as we see a broken 'Road Closed' sign. Nearby is a broken wheel, and a baby-blue Ford Thunderbird, crashed into the side of a mudslide, as rain pelts the car and the landscape. Part of a broken telehphone pole can be seen. Suddenly, the passenger side door opens up and out jumps Merrie, a platinum- blonde, screaming into the air, a bit wild with abandon. Nearby, the others pile out as well: Jean, a skinnier blonde than Merrie, Goergette, a brunette, and the guys:Fred, Rick, Harry & Pete.
Merrie: (screaming in joy)
Fred: It's a-drive, baby! Let's rock!
The teens begin to rock out to 'Woman,' playing on the car radio, sung by the Beau Brummels. Elsa is still in the car, grooving to the tune.
Fred: Hey come on, turn up that radio. Hey let's have some beer out here!
Elsa complies and turns up the radio, before passing beer out of the car. Elsa finally emerges from the car, and is embraced by Fred, as she begins to get wet in the rain like everyone else. By now, everyone is caught up in the dancing, albeit in muddy water.
Jean: Oh, wet!
Rick: Muddy!
In the throes of dancing, Rick falls to the ground, gyrating around in the mud.
Pete: Hey, get up off of the ground, will ya?'
Rick then pulls Jean down to the ground as well. Fred: Hey what kind of a party is this?
The two roll around in the mud, and soon, everyone is joining suit. Soon, everyon'e sliding around, and throwing gobs of mud at each other. Rick manages to crawl away from the crew, to a broken sign that the car hit. On the sign, it reads 'Hainseville 3 MI.'
Rick: Hey! Let's go to Hainesville and have some fun, huh?
Jean: Yeah, but how're we gonna get there?
Rick: Those, long, long legs, baby!
Jean: Ah, three miles, are you kidding?
Fred: Hey it's a wild idea, let's go down to the 'go-gos' and cause a little trouble, huh?
Merrie:Are you serious? That's, three miles away!
Fred: Oh baby, it'll be good for ya.'
Merrie: Harry, the overnight bags!
Fred: Hey besides, there's this broad down there that I've always had my eye on, what's her name? Uh, uh, Nancy! N-Nancy or something or the w-w-wait a minute-
Merrie, not at all happy with Fred's thinking, takes a gob of mud and tries to cram it in his mouth.
Nancy's House- Day On a sofa in the living room, lay Mike & Nancy, in each other's arms, as a record player nearby plays an instrumental version of the song 'Marianne.' As the two kiss, a nearby dog, named Woof, looks away.
Mike: When do your parents get back in town, huh?
Nancy: They're spending the night in Los Angeles. They phoned.
Mike: Oh.
Nancy: There's a big landslide up the road. Mike: Oh, (feigning worry)I'm sorry to hear that.
Nancy: I'll bet you are.
Genius: Hey Mike!
Enter Genius, Nancy's younger brother, holding a steaming beaker, interrupting the teen's makeout session.
Genius: Look what I got.Am2Su, HcSoF, and Magnesium Sulfate. How about that, Mike?
Mike: That's very impressive, Genius.
Genius: They're not compatible. This is supposed to blow up. I wonder why it doesn't?
Nancy: You and I aren't going to be very compatible either Genius, if you don't get out of here.
Genius: Mike, I don't know what you see in her.
As Genius turns to go, Nancy tosses a pillow after him, and then turns to Mike, hoping to pick up where they left off.
Mike: I don't know either. But, uh, whatever it is, I like it.
They begin to kiss again.
Mike: Oh you're good for me Nanacy, you know that? You are very, very good.
Nancy: I never knew you liked good girls.
Mike: I don't. They talk too much.
Nancy: So?
Mike: So, stop talking so much.
They begin to lean in, until a loud explosion is heard, even causing the dog Woof to be spooked. Nancy and Mike rush to the basement, where a huge amount of smoke is pouring out of the doorway leading to Genius' laboratory. As they get inside, he rises from the floor, his face and glasses coated with a red substance.
Genius: That's not really what I was trying to do.
Nancy: Genius, are you all right?
Genius: Of course I'm all right. Why shouldn't I be?
Nancy: Well you could have been killed.
Genius: Oh, nonsense.
Nancy: Well you could have.
Nancy comes over and begins to clean her brother up.
Genius: I put an electric charge to that stuff I was mixing, and then POW, the whole place blew up!
Mike is looking at the former foaming beaker, only now, it's filling with a pinkish-yellow substance, that is slowly expanding out of it's beaker.
Mike: I wonder what that is.
Genius: Do you think it might be ammonia-actride sulfate?
Mike: No. It's either pancake mix, or an octopus.
A glob of the stuff falls to the floor, as the Mike and Genius continue to watch the expanding stuff. As they watch, a cat sneaks in through the open basement window.
Nancy: What a mess. Alright genius, put your talents to cleaning this up. Go get a broom.
Genius heads to a corner to find a broom.
Mike: The things this kid comes up with. Fantastic!
Nancy: I suppose. Anyway, he does keep things from getting dull, if he just wouldn't overdo it.
As they talk the cat jumps up on the table and begins to nibble on the stuff in the beaker.
Mike (to cat): Shoo. Go on, beat it.
The cat takes off, while Mike grabs the beaker and moves it to a nearby desk. He is about to turn when-
Genius: Mike!!
Genius quickly moves a bear trap on the floor aside.
Genius: You nearly stepped on it.
Mike: On what?
Genius: You might have set it off. You really must be more careful.
Nancy: His burglar alarm.
Mike: How's it work? Pretty good? Genius: I don't know. I never really tried it out. Only in theory. In theory, it works fine.
Mike: Well, build a better mousetrap, and they'll beat a path to your door, they always say.
Genius: Not 'mouse trap,' 'burglar trap.' I'm going to patent it.
As Mike looks up, he sees something that soon Nancy and Genius can't even believe.
Mike: Am I nuts or something?
The small cat is now as tall as them, and begins to growl angrily at them.
Nanacy: If you are. We all are.
The cat continues to growl and advance on them.
Genius: Go get him, Woof. Sic em,' boy!
Woof begins to bark at the cat. The cat growls at Woof, before exiting out the doorway, up the stairs. Woof follows in hot pursuit.
Genius: Atta boy Woof, sic em'!
As they breathe a sigh of relief, Mike looks at the stuff again.
Mike: That cat was eating that. What've we got here?
Genius: I suppose the correct name would be 'ammonia actride sulfate, deethyl chlroicin.'
Genius notes that Mike isn't really warming up to the title.
Genius: Perhaps we ought to call it Goo. Would that be simpler?
Nancy: No, not really.
Mike: You know what?
Nancy: What? Mike: We're gonna make us a million bucks.
Outside the house, Mike has taken a small handful of the Goo, and is feeding it to a pair of white ducks. As Mike, Genius & Nancy stand back, the ducks grow to be as tall as Mike.
Mike:With the price of beef what it is today, Can you imagine if you fed this to cattle, or- or to chickens? Five, six times this size! Imagine the money. Genius, the first thing you gotta do is make some more of this stuff. Nancy: If he can remember what he made it from.
Genius: Of course I can!
As everyone heads inside, Mike drops the small piece of Goo he was holding. Woof then comes over, and begins to nibble on it, as the ducks watch. Meanwhile, Mie, Nancy & Genius are back in the basement laboratory.
Mike: The first thing we do is patent the formula.
Nancy: First we find it.
Mike: Market it. Can you imagine the problems we're gonna solve? Unlimited food supply at practically no extra cost! Oh, and we gotta keep this secret, absolutely secret.
Nancy: Of course.
As Genius works on trying to make more Goo, Woof can be heard from the closed door to the lab.
Genius: Alright, Woof.
As Genius opens the door, he, Mike & Nanacy are face-to-face with a giant Woof, easily larger than the cat.
Genius: Well, come on in.
Nancy: He must have eaten some of the Goo when you fed the du-
Nancy looks outside the basement window, but nothing's out there now!
Nancy: Oh, Mike! The ducks are gone! Our secrets flown the coop!
HAINESVILLE theatre- NIGHT Elsa sits at a nearby make-up table, getting ready.
Elsa: Ok to leave my stuff here?
Fred: Yeah, why not? They closed this place down, nobody comes here anymore.
Jean: Boy I was sure dirty. I'm glad we found this place to clean up in.
Merrie: Hey aren't you guys ready yet? I wanna go dancing!
On the stage, Harry & Pete are cloaked and using swords dueling back and forth. At one point, one skews the other, and then the fight continues. Harry:(makes dying noises)
Harry: Aha!
Fred: Hey what is the story on you guys, you're gonna kill yourselves!
The girls are still going about their duties: Georgette is finishing dressing, Merrie is admiring the theatre, and Jean is primping herself in a giant hand-mirror. Elsa is listening closely to the music next door.
Georgette: Be ready in a minute.
Merrie: Boy, this place is really groovy!
Fred: Heya, what? You girls gonna take all night, huh?
Jean: I'm coming.
Elsa: Dig that nitty-gritty!
As Elsa applies more lip-liner, she hears a new melody picking up from the club nearby.
Elsa: That's a go-go! Let's get over there.
Go-Go Club- NIGHT The place is jumping with teenagers all over the dance floor. On stage,the Beau Brummels play to the crowd, as a girl named Red dances in one of the areas above the crowd. The band is busy playing out their song 'When it Comes to Your Love.' Soon, the delinquent teens come into the Go-Go club.
Rick: Hey get a load of that Red-head up there, huh?
The Beau Brummels begin their next number, getting Merrie all excited.
Merrie: Come on honey, let's dance!
Merrie pulls Fred onto the floor and the others begin todance as well. The Beau Brummels begin to get into their song, 'Woman.' As the band continues to play, suddenly the bass player sees something that causes him to slow down, as well as shock several other people. The giant ducks have come in, and started to watussi.
Teen Male #1: Look at the size of those ducks, where'd they come from!?
Teen Male #2: Big!
Teen girl #1: Wow, look at those ducks.
Finally, Mike & Nancy come onto the scene, watching as the ducks dance amid the other teenagers.
Mike: Hey, those are my ducks!
The other teens crowd around, wanting to know more.
Harry: You're kidding, how did they get like that?
Teen girl #2: They're so big and huge!
Teen Male #3: Oh, from Texas, huh?
Rick: Oh come on. (to the others)Shut up! (to Mike)Now come on, man, don't hand me that. What happened to them? What's going on?
Mike: Well, it's partly the rsult of an experiment.
Harry: Man, what a meal they'd make, huh? (to Mike) What have you been feeding them?
Mike: Ahh, it's my secret. It's a million-dollar secret.
Having run recon, Harry, and Rick report back to the others.
Fred: Hey, listen. Pete's got a great idea.
Pete: Harry asked the vital question: what they've been feeding those ducks?
Merrie: So?
Pete: Well, it's some sort of a food additive, obviously.
Rick: Well it couldn't be anything else, could it? They're keeping it a secret.
Harry: A million-dollar secret they said.
Jean: I like the sound of it.
Fred: Thought you'd like that.
Fred: Now, tell you what you're gonna do, it's gonna be very simple. Come on.
Mike begins to coraal the ducks up, leading them out the front door.
Mike: Ok, wattusi out of here.
Nancy's House- Night Genius is hard at work, still trying to mix the formula. Nearby, the giant Woof looks on. As Genius adds a chemical to what he's mixing, it explodes in his face, causing Woof to bark.
Genius: Interesting, but not quite what we wanted.
Go-Go Club- NIGHT Red is about to come down, but makes a small annoucnement.
Red: Ok, while the Beau Brummels take a break, it's record time.
The record starts to spin, and the couples move onto the floor to slow-dance. Fred and Jean begin to make their move to get Nancy and Mike to spill the Goo's location. Jean moves over to a booth where Mike is sitting.
Jean: Ok?
Mike: Sure.
Jean takes a seat next to him.
Jean: Don't you want to dance?
Mike: Waiting for my girl.
Jean: 'Bird in the hand' they always say. They say it's good for the figure-'the jerk.'
Mike: Must be. How'd you get into town, anyway? The roads out.
Jean: We walked down, all the way from the slide.
Mike: It's a long walk.
Jean: They say it's good for the legs.
Jean: That's what they say.
Fred has moved over to the nearby bar, to catch Nancy's eye.
Fred: One Coke, please.
Fred: Thank you.
Fred: Say uh, they got a pretty good crowd here tonight.
Nancy: Uh, yes.
Fred: Here you are, honey.
Nancy: I never saw anyone do that before. Fred: You got to have strong hands.
Nancy: I guess.
Fred: Muscles, are very important to me.
Nancy: Oh really?
Fred: Oh yeah.
Jean: What is it, some sort of vitamin?
Mike: Vitamin?
Jean: The stuff that made the ducks grow like that.
Mike: Oh, yeah, that. Well, I guess you could, call it a vitamin if you wanted to.
Jean: Like a pill of something?
Mike: Yeah, yeah that's right.
Fred: No I-I spend a lot of my time keeping around sides of beef, my old man's in the meat business in Los Angeles.
Nancy: Isn't that interesting?
Fred: Yeah. A 400-pound side of beef over your shoulder really does tighten up your muscles, let me tell you. Yeah, he's about the uh, 'biggest in the business' I guess. My old man, I mean.
Nancy: Oh, yes.
Fred: Y-yeah, you ought to see the size of his place, God.
Fred: Got an idea...you and I, are gonna dance, little lady.
Nancy: Uh, wait a minute.
Fred: Come on now, this is good music, this is the kind of stuff you don't like to dance to, you know?
Jean: I bet you've got it hidden away someplace.
Mike: Sure we do.
Jean: Like it's a secret? Mike: Like it's a secret.
Jean: You wouldn't mind telling me, would you?
Jean leans over and slightly kisses Mike.
Mike: I don't know, I'll have to think about that.
Jean kisses Mike again.
Jean: Tell me?
Mike: Getting better. Almost made up my mind for me.
Fred: Hey uh, I just thought of something.
Nancy: You're supposed to be dancing, not thinking.
Fred: Yeah, I was just thinking, right? Now this stuff that you guys came up with, uh, like you'll need some help won't ya?
Nancy: Mike knows what he's doing.
Fred: Yeah but uh, in a hick-town like this, I mean if you knew somebody in town, somebody in Los Angeles, somebody who really knows the business-
Nancy: Someone like you're old man.
Fred: Exactly, right, right! I'd take him some of this stuff, see what I mean, and it would just be amazing what this old man can do-
Nancy: I see exactly what you mean.
Jean is once again lip-locked with Mike.
Jean: Please?
Mike: Just one more time, and I think I'll make up my mind.
Jean pulls Mike in for a longer kiss.
Jean: There. Got a deal? You gonna tell me?
Mike: The price is about right.
Mike leans in and kisses Jean. Mike: But you're just a shade too eager, to pay it.
Mike gets up and walks away, leaving Jean looking a bit disgusted.
Fred: Now, come on the level, honey, now come on I'm trying to do something for ya, I wanna help ya.
Nancy: Why?
Fred: Why? I guess it's just because I can't resist helping somebody I like that's all. And, uh, you: I like. It's as simple as that.
Nancy: What about your girlfriend, what's-her-name?
Fred: Who, Merrie? Oh come on baby, she's not my girlfriend, she's, uh, she's one of the group that's all. One of the group.
Nancy tries to slowly back away, but Fred pulls her closer.
Fred: Come here. Suppose, suppose you and I take that stuff into Los Angeles, together. Just the two of us just you, and m-
By now, Mike's walked over, giving Fred the 'evil eye.'
Fred: Mike, baby. Listen, we were just, it's amazing we were just talking about this stuff that you just-
Mike: Beat it.
Fred.: Oh.
Fred quietly walks away, as Mike begins to dance with Nancy.
Horsey: How do you like those ducks?
Red: Barbecued, that's how I like them.
HAINESVILLE: AFTERNOON The teen population is out and about the town square, where it seems that Mike and Nancy have taken Red's advice. The two huge ducks are being roasted and served to the teenage community. Pete and Harry are helping to roast one, as Fred, Merrie & Elsa look on. Meanwhile, Mike & Nancy serve up the other duck to the other townsfolk.
Fred(to Merrie): Boy, that's a big enough duck for you, eh?
Merrie: Ohh, big duckie!
Fred: Yeah, looks pretty good, eh? Merrie: I wonder how big, honey, the wishbone is.
Fred: Come great strong warriors, turn almighty duck!
Harry: Yeah, you like this, huh?
Pete: Big bird, huh?
Horsey: You guys find a place to sleep?
Rick: Hmm? Uh, yeahyeahyeah, we're uh, we're campin' out at the old theatre.
Horsey: It's-good a place as any, I guess.
Rick(ignoring him): Uh,yeah.
Mike: You know what we're doing? We're making history.
Nancy: And eating it, too! Where's the 'Boy Wonder?'
Mike: Genius?
Nancy: Mm-hm.
Mike: He's trying to figure out how to make some more Goo.
HAINESVILLE-AFTERNOON As Mike & Nancy continue to serve up their giant ducks, singer Freddy Cannon begins to croon by the nearby fountain, causing all the young lovelies to bop to the beat of his song 'Little Bitty Corrine.' Nearby, Horsey is engaged in eating a giant drumstick. Soon afterward, Genius comes biking into the area. As he gets off his bike, he pulls out a small jar, with what looks to be more of the 'Goo.' However, it suddenly contracts into nothingness inside the jar. Laying nearby sunning herself, Elsa is watching him.
Genius: This time I was sure I had it. It's a very elusive formula.
Elsa: Had what, kiddo?
Genius: Kiddo!? I prefer to be called 'Genius,' if you don't mind.
Elsa: Ok, 'Genius,' no offense...what formula?
Genius: For the Goo. There's not much of it and they want me to make some more. But it's not easy.
Elsa: Why don't we, go for a walk, 'Genius?' I'll buy you an ice cream cone. Genius: I never touch it, it's high in cholesterol, but I'll go for a walk with you.
Elsa: Ok!
Nancy's House house-Night Mike & Nancy are down in the basement.
Nancy: They were trying really hard to find out about the Goo, weren't they?
Mike: Guess they can smell a profit.
Mike searches for a place to stash the Goo. Going into Genius' laboratory, he gets the jar containing what's left, and places it inside a nearby wodden cabinet, which he attaches a padlock to.
Mike: Guess this ought to be safe enough.
Suddenly, the sound of glass crashing can be heard.
Nancy: What did you break?
Mike: Hm?
Nancy: Didn't you break something?
Mike: Wasn't that you?
Nancy: No.
Suddenly, a giant shadow falls over Nancy. As she screams, we see a giant spider by the basement stairwell, enlarged from some of the Goo. Mike grabs a pitchfork and tries to stab at it, to which the spider growls back at him. As it slowly advances, Mike jumps up onto some overhead pipes, while Nancy runs and grabs some bugspray, trying to kill the spider.
Nancy: Mike!
Mike: Put that fool thing down.
Mike begins to knock at some overhead pipes, finally causing one to break, raining water down on the basement floor.
Mike: Get off the ground, get up the stairs, get up the wet floor!
As Nancy heads for the stairwell, Mike grabs an overhead cord with a lightbulb on the end. Mike breaks the bulb, and throws the cord into the water, electrocuting the giant spider. The giant beast cries in pain, and then dies. Mike: Don't go near the water, it's deady! It's charged!
Mike tries to get some leverage, and then makes a jump towards the stairwell. However, he doesn't quite make it, and begins to fall back onto the elctric floor. In a flash, Nancy pulls the handle on the nearby fusebox, shutting off the power. Mike comes down into the water, now perfectly safe.
Mike: You all right?
Nancy: Well, that's a fool-question to ask.
Mike: Well, are you?
Nancy: Well, sure. Just-just scared is all.
Mike: You don't have to be, not with me around. (noting the water flooding the floor)I like the pool better.Just gotta find that valve.
Later on, Mike & Nancy leave the house. As they walk away, Fred emerges from some nearby bushes, and walks around to the back of the house, followed by Rick, Pete & Harry. Behind the house, the girls are waiting by the basement window. Fred gestures, and Pete jimmies the lock on the basement window. Crawling through the window, he turns on a flashlight, and begins to look for the Goo.
Town Square-Night Horsey and Red are sitting by the town fountain, as Mike Clifford croons his song 'Marianne,' to a couple of swooning girls nearby.
Nancy's House-Night Pete has found the wood cabinet. Getting through the lock, he opens the door, and removes the bottle with the Goo in it. Walking back into the laboratory, he hands the bottle to Rick outside. He's just about to leave when he spies a gumball machine nearby. Unable to resist, he puts in a coin, and turns the handle, taking out the gumball. Popping it in his mouth, he then backs up: straigth into Genius' burglar alarm. The bear trap closes with a snap on Pete's leg, as he cries out in pain.
Pete: AAARRRGGHHH!! AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!
An alarm noise sounds, and a fuse lights something. Soon, the sky outside is lit with fireworks.
Town Square-Night The teens take notice of the sudden fireworks show.
Red: What on Earth?
Horsey: What goes on up there? Genius: That's my burglar alarm. Works fine doesn't it?
Horsey: Yeah.
Genius: (suddenly realizing) The burglar alarm!?
Mike, Nancy, Horsey & Red run off with Genius taking the lead, back to the house.
Mike's house-Night The delinquent teens have just gotten the bear trap off Pete's foot.
Fred: Hey come on, let's get out of here! Come on!
Running around to the front, they encounter our heroes and some other teens. Mike walks up, holding out his hand, wanting the Goo returned. The delinquents just smile, passing it amonst themselves, until Mike suddenly grabs hold of Fred and the two begin to wrestle on the ground. Merrie holds onto the Goo, watching the whole spectacle, until Red runs at her, trying to wrest the jar from her hands. It suddenly goes flying to the ground, and all the teens dogpile for it. Genius leans on a nearby fencepost, watching the spectacle. As one teen reaches around, he suddenly pulls out a bikini top (by the looks of it, it belongs to Red).
Teen: Hey! Who's the Size 40?
An arm reaches out and quickly grabs it back. As the fight continues, Harry sneaks off with the Goo.
Nancy's House- Night The fight is now over, Horsey and Mike are laying around, their energy spent, as Nancy, Red & Genius look on.
Red: Well, they sure don't make em' like they used to.
Nancy: No stamina at all.
Mike: Who won?
Horsey: We did. Don't we always?
Mike: Yeah, that's uh-(suddenly realizing) who got the Goo?
Genius: They got it. One of them ran off with it. I was going to stop him, but-
Nancy: But what?
Genius: Reasons of pure logic: he was bigger than me. Horsey: Holy smoldering crawdads.
Genius: Don't worry, as soon as I find the formula, I'll simply make some more.
Mike: Just hope you can.
Genius: Sure I can, there's nothing to it. Just a matter of perserverence.
Hainesville Theatre- NIGHT The teens are sitting around on the stage, as Rick is in the corner, trying to get the stagelights to come up right. Soon, he has some success.
Rick: And then there was light. Man, while that lasted it was a pretty good rumble.
Merrie: Anyone get hurt? Fred!
Fred is holding his face, but quickly stops.
Fred: Ah no, uh, two more minutes and I'd have flattened him.
Elsa: Okay, now we got it. What're we gonna do with it?
Pete: We get rich, that's what we do with it.
Harry comes over, having taken the Goo out of the jar.
Harry: H-hey, I wonder if this makes, everything grow, huh? Ha-ha.
Jean: You mean like, um, plants, and, things?
Pete: No, I don't think that's what he means at all.
Fred: Hey, don't be a jerk, huh?
Harry: what's the matter Fred? Running scared?
Georgette: Yeah, he's scared.
Fred: No, I just got more sense is all.
Harry: You always said you wanted to be a big man, now's your chance (chuckles)!
Pete: Yeah,a real big man.
Harry: (chuckles) Unless you're scared.
Merrie: Show him Fred. Show him that you're not no chicken. Fred: (to Merrie) Hey, will you cut it out?
Rick: Hey yeah yeah, that's a wild idea, man.
Pete & Harry: (laughing)
Fred: Yeah , that's what you think I am, 'chicken,' huh?
Merrie: Are you?
Jean: Merrie? Are you out of your mind?
Rick has taken the Goo and is now walking over, making like he's gonna take a bite of it, to which Fred suddenly jumps up, enraged.
Fred: Hey, will you cut it out, and leave it alone, huh!?
Rick: Listen to me, Freddy-boy, if I want to try some of this stuff just don't you try and stop me, understand? You're some kind of, coward.
Fred: Wh-ar-are you trying to prove something, huh, is that it?
Rick: Yeah. I'm trying to prove you're all talk. All talk, and no performance.
Elsa: Pete, you better do something...Pete?
Pete: No, why should I? This'll be very interesting.
Fred: Yeah, yeah eh-you want to try some of it, huh?
Pete: I will if you will.
Merrie: Mm-mm, you're on the spot, lover.
Elsa: No!
Merrie: Shut up.
Fred: Alright give me your knife, huh? Come on.
Rick: Huh?
Rick pulls out his knife, and offers the Goo and the knife to Fred.
Fred: Let's see there's uh, two, four six, eight of us. That's eight pieces.
Fred places the Goo on a nearby bed, and begins to cut it into sections. Fred (counting to himself) two, three, four, five.
Elsa: Not me Fred, heh, count me out.
Pete: You too honey, just like the rest of us.
Fred: We all take it. (offering a piece to Elsa)Well come on take it.
Elsa reluctantly takes her piece.
Fred: And nobody chickens out, alright? Nobody!
Fred walks over to Rick and Jean, noting that they're just eyeing their pieces. As if to prove that he's in charge, Fred quickly gulps his piece down, and walks by. Jean and Rick look at each other, shrug, and then feed each other their pieces. Merrie giddily takes a bite of hers.
Pete: Well eat it honey, don't be scared.
Pete eats his piece and walks off. Elsa very cautiously puts her piece into her mouth, chewing slowly. Suddenly, she begins to grow. As a shirt she was wearing falls from her hand, there's a sudden RIPPING sound, as her bikini top falls off. Gasping, she quickly covers her breasts, as she continues to grow, the last of her clothing finally ripping. Merrie has finished eating her piece. Smacking her lips she smiles, until she feels a bit strange. Looking down, suddenly the buttons on her baby-blue top begin to pop off! Gasping, her top then rips off, causing her to also cover her own chest. Arms crossed, she looks around at the shrinking theatre stage, a bit in awe and in shock. Fred rips through his shirt finally, and also begins to grow. Looking around, he's also as unsure as the girls. Elsa and Merrie also look around, surveying their now enormous friends. Pete just smiles at the situation, until realizing that he's naked! He quickly reaches for a stage flat and covers himself up. Some of the other teenagers follow suit. Elsa removes a hand, and covers herself with some stage curtains, blushing. Merrie follows suit, and Jean uses a piece of red material nearby.
Harry: (to Merrie)Wh-what's the matter hotshot, don't you like your new size?
Merrie: I was big enough before.
Harry: Huh-look what happened to us. And all these girls can think of is their...modesty! Hehaha!
Merrie: Fred...Fred, what have we done!?
Fred: Well whatever it is,we're stuck with it.
Harry: 'Stuck with it.' So why don't we make the most of it? It's gonna make a difference.
Rick: Yeah. I was just thinkin.' Wait til' my old man gets, 'tough' with me again, huh?
Jean: We-we're freaks, Rick.
Harry: Maybe we are, but you just wait'll the next guy asks me for my I.D. Card, Oh, BOY! (laughs)
Pete: Yeah, now maybe it won't be so easy for them to kick us around anymore.
Harry: Yeah!
Elsa: Them?
Pete: The adults, honey. This isn't their world anymore, it's gonna be outs!
Rick: Yeah, we'll turned the tables on them. Come on, let's split, and have some fun, huh?
All guys: Yeah!
Fred: Yeah let's get out of here, huh?
Harry: Right.
Merrie: But I don't have anything to wear!
Fred: Be my guest.
Fred notices a basket full of large amounts of different kinds of materials. He reaches in and pulls a handful out, and begins to rain them down around Jean, who is now overjoyed at being able to have something to wear.
Mike's House- NIGHT Genius is hard at work in his laboratory, trying to make more Goo. As he works, Woof watches nearby.
Town Square- NIGHT The teens suddenly look up, noticing the now giant delinquents. The men have made themselves toga-like outfits, and the girls look like giant harem dancers. As they arrive, the music stops.
Fred:(Chuckles)
Merrie: H-ha!
Merrie (whispering to Fred): See how small they are, Fred? Fred: Hey, now what happened to the music? Let's wail!
Merrie: Yeah, come on, let's dance.
As if on cue, the music starts up again, and the town's teens watch the 30 foot giants gyrating and dancing to the deep bass rhythms. As Fred and Merrie dance, she pulls him close and whispers something to him. She then kneels down til she's eye-level with the crowd, and plucks Horsey up, much to Red's shock. She then holds him close to her bosom, causing Horsey to cling to her enormous bra straps. Finally, Mike has had enough of the spectacle.
Mike: Hey Fred, tell her to put him down.
Fred: Ah-ha-ha-ha-haaaa.
Losing his patience, Mike grabs a nearby chair and smashes it against one of Fred's legs.
Fred: Oooooooowwwwwww!!!
Mike: Tell her to put him down or I'll beat the daylights out of ya!
Fred backhands Mike, sending him sprawling into some nearby bushes, as Nancy runs to help him. Merrie playfull puts Horsey back down.
Nancy: Mike?
Fred: Hey now, uh, let's cut it out, huh? I mean you little guys are taking this all wrong, we're on your side. All of us against the adults. Now how about that, huh? We're taking over them. And you regular guys are gonna be part of this, we're just gonna help you.
Horsey: Yeah, well what if we don't want to be a part of it?
Fred: How can you say that, I mean, haven't they kicked you around long enough?
Horsey:Maybe we don't like your club either!
Fred: You're in it anyway. Hey listen, you have nothing to worry about. Because when we've taken over, ama-
Horsey: Oh I'm already worried, I'm worried about how funny you really are.'We take over,' huh? Why you're just trying to trade places with them is all. It's the same result, if you had any brains you'd see that!
Rick: Hey man, this guy's a lousy rebel.
Fred: Yeah, uh, look uh, whether you like or not little man, we're just gonna have to show you what's good for you, that's all. What's good for all of us teenagers. Hm?
Suddenly, a siren is heard, and the Sheriff's car rolls into view, lights flashing. The Sheriff and his deupty then ster out of the car oblivious to the giant teens right nect to them.
Sheriff: Alright kids, listen. I've received a lot of complaints by the telephone that there's just a little too much noise, now-
Deputy: Sheriff. I think I'm seeing things.
Sheriff: Yeah, I'm seeing em' but I don't like em.' (back to crowd)Now everbdoy go back, go home, and-
Deputy: Sheriff. Up there.
Sheriff: why can't you take care of things-
For the first time, the Sheriff finally looks to his right and sees the giant teens.
Sheriff: For crying out loud, now what's this?
Deputy: Your guess is as good as mine.
Sheriff:Listen I don't pretend to understand what's going on around here, but it's just been brought to my attention that the theatre was broken into last night, and I got a pretty good idea who did the breaking in too. I want you to go back to the theatre and wait there.
Fred: Why don't you shut up and go home, Sheriff?
The other teens chuckle and giggle at this.
Sheriff: Now listen you do like I say you go back and wait there for me, do you understand, is that clear?
Jean: Anything you say Sheriff, you're the boss.
Harry: Unless, how long do you think it would take me to bend that rifle around your neck, Sheriff?(laughs)
Merrie: Or why don't we just step on them? Both of them!(giggles)
Rick: Yeah, why don't I do that? I never did like the 'fuzz' and that old-
Fred: Ok, man, ok, ok. Hm? (too Sheriff)Sure, Sheriff, there's no problem.
Rick (to Fred): Still a coward, eh? Pete: Do like he says, Rick. Leave him alone. Let's get back.
Rick(to Pete): (huffs) You little-
Fred: Now Sheriff, listen, you-you really are, a big man. At least us, you were until we came. Uh-but-uh, like you say we'll go right back to the theatre. No guns you have to worry about, nothing.
HAINESVILLE-Theatre-MORNING On the theatre stage, the girls are going about their morning routines. Elsa is primping herself in the dressing mirror, now so small she's holding it with one hand as she teases her hair with the other. Jean is using the now spoon-sized mirror to check her own blonde locks, while Merrie looks over the very-small copies of 'Teen' magazine they have. As she shows an article to Jean, Fred comes in.
Fred: How'd you sleep honey? You get a good rest?
Merrie: Mm-hm! But Fred, what's gonna happen to us?
Fred: I don't know, uh, as long as it lasts, I guess we'll have to live with it.
HAINESVILLE-MORNING Outside the theatre, the Sheriff and Mike lead a group of men down the town square area to right outside the theatre's doors.
Sheriff: Let me do the talking.
As they arrive outside the theatre, the Sheriff holds up his hand.I
Sheriff: I want the rest of you men to wait here.
The Sheriff then enters the theatre with Mike.
HAINESVILLE-Theatre-MORNING Inside the theatre, all the men and women have gathered together on the stage.
Rick: Hello, freaks.
Jean: Hello.
Harry: They're coming. Mike and the Sheriff. He's got a gun.
Red: A gun?
Harry: Yeah.
Pete: No sweat, it's been taken care of. Harry (to Rick) You get her?
Rick: Yep.
Harry: Where is she?
Rick: Out of sight.
Fred: Hey now what is happening!?
Pete: You'll see.
Rick: We got ourselves some 'insurance.'
Elsa: I'm hungry too. What's for breakast?
Fred: Sheriff, on toast.
All teens: (chuckling)
Mike and the Sheriff enter from one of the doorways, standing in the theatre aisles, looking up at the giants.
Fred: Morning Shreiff, Mike.
Shreiff: Alright, let's get one thing clear. I said I don't understand what's happened and I'm not gonna worry about it. But last night you people showed me the kind of trouble we can expect from you. And this kind of twon trouble is one thing I just won't have. Pack up and get out of town, now that's an order. I want you all out of town within an hour, is that clear? Get out and don't come back.
Fred: Yeah well that-that's clear enough Sheriff, only uh, we kind of like it here, you know, we kind of figure we might stay.
Rick: And there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing.
Sheriff: Well you just do what I say or else there'll be some trouble.
Fred: Oh no kidding, uh, what kind of trouble, Sheriff?
Rick: You aiming to use that gun?
Sheriff: If I have to, yes.
Pete: Sheriff, how many guns do you have in this town, huh?
Sheriff: Look, that's no concern of yours, you're leaving. Merrie: Oh don't make 'book' on it. When Fred wants something, he usually gets it. (to Fred) Dont'cha honey(giggles)?
Fred: You better believe it.
Sheriff: What makes you think I can't arrest you?
Fred: Oh now Sheriff, you-you'd shoot me in cold blood?
Sheriff: Mike, there's a coil of rope in the corner, will you get it for me, please?
Mike walks away and returns with the coil of rope.
Harry: This is gonna be mighty interesting, heheh.
Pete: How was your daughter when you left her this morning, Sheriff?
Pete: Show him Rick-boy.
As Fred watches, Rick suddenly holds up the Sheriff's daughter Cora, on his hand. The little girl looks frightened.
Cora: Daddy! Daddy! Make him put me down! Please, Daddy!
Rick: Go ahead Sheriff, use your gun, cut me down. But if you miss, you might hit this loud, screaming little brat of yours.
Sheriff: Cora, Cora dear, be still, don't move.
Merrie: That's not such a bad idea.
Fred: Well, I don't like it, see, and I am the guy that gives the word around here.
Rick: Like I said, Boss, we got ourselves some insurance.
Merrie: Something we need. They brought guns, remember? Just like always, 'keep the kids inline.'
Fred: Ok, ok. I don't like it.
Elsa: Oh Pete!
Pete: Don't worry, nobody's gonna hurt her. As long as the Sheriff is gonna play ball with us.
Sheriff: Alright.
The Sheriff lays down his rifle, and then his handgun. Sheriff: There's my guns.
Jean: Rick, uh, are you sure you know what you're doing?
Sheriff: Put her down NOW!!
Getting no response, the Sheriff gives in a bit.
Sheriff: I'll give you whatever you want.
Pete: You hear that Fred? 'Anything we want,' that's what he said.
Fred: Alright man, alright. Now, uh, Sheriff, we are going to take over this town and, uh, we are gonna make quite a few changes.
Fred: Now first of all, there's gonna be a 9 o'clock curfew for all adults. How do you like that huh? You'll all have 'freedom of speech,' Just uh, as long as we approve of what you say. A working part is going to have to find food for us everyday. And um, well needless to say our appetites are gonna be pretty big, hm? In fact uh, Why don't we start with something right now, huh? Mike, uh, why don't you get me uh, some chicken?
Mike: Why don't you-!
Mike is about to charge the stage when the Sheriff stops him.
Sheriff: Mike, Mike, Mike.
Fred: Okay, co-come on, boy, jump to it. Mike come on, there, that's a boy, yeah.
Sheriff: Do what he says, Mike.
Cowed, Mike walks out of the theatre
Fred: Now uh, Rick, Harry, now you guys know what you gotta do, huh? Now I want you, uh, take care of all the communications, knock out the telephones, radios, everything you see, alright?
Cora: Put me down!
Sheriff: Cora, it'll be alright. (To Fred)Alright, i'll say it again-'anything you want.' Bring her down.
Fred: No, she stays right here. Now, you do just as you're told Sheriff, and nobody is gonna get hurt.
Pete: and one more thing, Sheriff. We want all the guns in the town brought here. Is that clear!? Sheriff: Then I'll take my child home?
Elsa: We'll take care of her, Sheriff.
Fred: Yeah, we'll take care of her, just as long as you do as you're told.
Realizing he's in a fix, the Sheriff realizes he can do nothing. With the giants holding his daughter hostage, he dejectedly walks out of the theatre, as Cora begins to cry.
Cora: (crying)
Pete: You see, Fred-boy? All it takes is a little cooperation. We're really gonna take over this town.
Mike's House-Day Genius is still at work in his lab. As he works around a beaker, suddenly a weird bristly thing comes out of the beaker. It then snakes across the countertops, before going into a nearby sink drain.
Genius: Well, back to the old drawing board.
Genius: I'll have to remember to try that again sometime.
Woof: (barks)
HAINSVILLE Theatre-DAY Outside the Hainesville theatre, the Sheriff and Nancy are supervising, as every citizen who has a gun, carefully places it into a large wooden crate. For this task, the giants have chosen Jean to supervise.
Sherrif: You'll regret this! You mark my words!
Jean: Save your bad temper Sheriff, til' you can find a better use for it.
Later inside, Harry is reading a magazine, when something catches his attention. Mike and several other teenagers come up to a side stage stairwell, and offer Harry, Fred & Jean plastic trays heaped with fried chicken and bottles of Coke.
Fred: Mike, you are amazing man, really you're doing just fine, I don't think I could do any better myself.
Rick: Yeah, yeah yeah, we might even put you in charge of supervising the-uh, adults.
Fred: Hey why not man, really. You and a few of your friends, we'll put you in charge of checking adult I.D. Cards, huh? You know, just kind of keeping an eye on their social activities, make sure they keep out of trouble and, you know. Hm? Jean: And our music, they've gotta leave it alone.
Fred: Oh, quite definite.
Rick: Yeah, yeah.
Fred: Hey uh, man, what're you just standing there for, huh? De-part, man-leave!
Mike and the other teens leave amid a series of chuckles from the giant teenagers.
Nancy's House-DAY Mike, Nancy, Red *& Horsey are talking in the living room.
Mike: It's up to us now, Horsey. There's only one thing we can do.
Red: But there's nothing we can do, Mike. Not while they've got a hostage.
Mike: That's just it: we got to get a hostage of our own.
Hainesville suburb-DAY Some teens are seen running down a street. Soon, a giant figure looms into view. It's Fred, who continues to follow them. Meanwhile, down a ways, Horsey has rallied several teens in their hot rods. As Fred comes upon them, he notices a teen girl riding a moped. She quickly drives up to him and begins circling around his legs, before roping one of them. She then drives around and around, trying to encircle his legs. However, Fred manages to take the rope off. But before he can react, Mike in a Ford Mustang and Horsey in a red Hot Rod string a rope across, and trip up Fred, sending him tumbling onto his back. Other hot rods encircle Fred, trying to rope him, as Horsey lassos one of Fred's legs and ties the rope to his red hot rod.
Horsey: Ok GO!
A friend of Horsey's guns the Hot Rod, but Fred's weight causes the hot rod's body to fly off, clattering to the street. Suddenly a scream is heard, and everyone sees Nancy, stuck on a nearby church roof.
Nancy: (screams)Mike! Mike, Mike!!
Mike jumps from his Mustang, ready to fight the giants, but Horsey and several teens hold him back.
Mike: Let me go, I'll kill him!
We then see the 'he' to whom Mike has referred to, as Pete is standing right next to the church.
Pete: Ok fellas, you want me to leave her up there or shall I pluck her down for ya? What'll it be? (to Fred)I heard the noise, I figured you might need some help. Boy they almost got you, didn't they?
Fred finally shrugs off the last of the rope.
Fred: Nearly got me. Take her down, take her to the theatre. (to Mike and the others) From now on she's gonna stay with us.
Nancy's House-Day Mike, Horsey, and several other teens (including one called 'Fatso'), have relocated to the house's basement, as Genius toils away in the next room.
Horsey: Well, there's only one thing we can do. We gotta get those guns.
Mike: Right. Basically, the problem is this-how to get into the theatre, and get the guns without getting discovered. And how to put the guard, whoever that may be, out of action, long enough to recover the hostages with the guns.
Chuck: That's not going to be so easy. We try to pull anything, who knows what's liable to happen to that child, or to Nancy?
Girl One: Mike, there's nothing we can do!
Fatso: Yeah, we're on our own. The road's still closed. They don't even know outside what's going on in here.
Horsey: On our own is right, the Sheriff sure isn't much help.
Sheriff: Not much he can do under the circumstances.
Mike: Yeah, that's why it's up to us, we got to raid the theatre.
Fatso: Oh no.
Horsey: They always seem to leave just one guard on duty, sort of like a sentry.
Girl One: Mike, we'll never get away with it.
Mike: We will. And there's just one thing we need-Ether.
Chuck: Ether?
Horsey: Genius, we need your brains!
The guts walk into the laboratory, to talk with Genius.
Genius: i thought you'd need me sooner or later.
Mike: Do you know how to make Ether? Genius: That depends what kind you need. Psyclopople, Methol, Ethanpople, Poponeil ethel, Or Psyclopople Vinylethel. These are all fairly easy.If you want Dibynoxide it might be a little more difficult. Trichloretheline of course is terribly complicated
Mike: Any good anesthetic.
Genius: I have nitric acid and calcium chloride. If you give me some vodka I could make you some Deethyline then very easily.
Horsey: Vodka? Dig this crazy kid.
Genius: Or whiskey. Any kind of alcohol really. If I were a little older, of course.
Mike, Yeah, yeah we know about that. Hey, don't we have some alcohol in the first-aid kit?
Horsey: Yeah, I'll get it.
Chuck: But even so, if we're disturbed.
Mike: We won't be.
Fatso: Mike you can't be sure of that.
Mike: The main thing is to keep the rest of them away, kep them occupied. Red's come up with a scheme to keep the boys occupied.
Red: Don't worry. The way I plan it, the boys'll be watching me.
Chuck: And then?
Mike: We got a problem with giants, right?
Chuck: Right.
Mike: Ever heard of, 'David and Goliath?'
HAINSEVILLE Theatre-DAY Red is down on the stage, dancing around, her red locks and blue dress flying around as she keeps Harry, Rick & Fred occupied.
Fred: Hey, have some chicken, man!
Rick: Yeah.
Harry: Wow. Fred: Wild stuff.
Harry: She really knows how to move, doesn't she?
Rick: Baby, I wish I was your size again.
Fred: Go, go.
Fred: (to Nancy)Some chicken, Nancy?
Nearby, Nancy and Cora are sitting by a stage prop of a throne.
Cora: Daddy wouldn't let him hurt us, would he, would he Nancy?
Nancy: no of course not, honey. Everything's gonna be alright.
Fred walks over and leans on a nearby clothes basket.
Fred: Now you don't have to be sore with me, honey. Did you see what they tried to do to me? They could have killed me with those hot rods.
Nancy: You're lucky they didn't-they should have.
Fred: Now will you please not talk like that, huh? You know how I feel about you.
Nancy: Then let us go. Both of us.
Fred: I can't know better than that. You see, in this town, for the first time in my life, I'm a big man, in more ways than one. You know how it is at our age honey, 'don't do this,' 'don't do that,' don't-don't-don't-don't-don't. It's like it's the only word they know how to say. 'Don't drink,' 'don't smoke,' 'don't drive too fast.' The only word they know how to use, well I'll tell you something, you see, in this town, the authority is all mine. And nobody is gonna say 'don't' to me for anything.
Nancy: Ok, you're a rebel. I'm impressed.
Fred: Well you better be.
Outside the theatre, Mike walks up with a hand-launching slingshot. After swinging it around, he lets loose, and a rock crashes through a window. Fred reacts slowly. As Mike winds up again, Merrie emerges from the theatre to see what's going on.
Merrie: Hey Fred! We've got a visitor!
Merrie is soon joined by Fred, rick & Jean. Mike let's fly, almost hitting Merrie.
Merrie: What's he trying to do? Rick: Trying to show what a big man he is.
Another rock flies past the giants.
Jean: Why don't I just pick him up and throw him away?
Rick: Stomp on him'd be more like it.
Another rock flies past the giants.
Merrie: No, he's cute! He wants to fight!
Rick hands Fred a nearby tree.
Rick: Here Goliath, here's your spear. Mike: You're all guts, Fred!
Another rock flies past the giants.
Fred: Alright.
Fred takes aim and throws the tree, which bare;y comes close to hitting Mike.
Mike: You're no better with a spear than I am with a sling!
Fred: Well don't make Booka.
Merrie: Go on Fred, teach him!
Fred: That's exactly what i'm going to do.
Mike runs around the adjacent town square, acting like a moving target. Several of the townsfolk have come out to watch. Mike winds up and misses Fred Fred takes another shot, and just misses Mike.
Mike: Nice try, Goliath!
Backstage behind the theatre, Horsey, Fatso and Chuck are sneaking up the backstage ladder, holding a bag full of cotton containing ether.
Horsey: Come on, quick!
Fatso: Anybody want some candy?
Chuck: Not now! Let's go!
Chuck spills Fatso's candy, and they all begin to climb the ladder. Meanwhile, back out front, the other giants have come out to watch the fight. Fred: Merrie, get in there and watch that kid.
Merrie: But I wanna watch.
Fred: Don't worry, I'm gonna give you his head on a silver platter.
Pete: That was Samson and Delilah.
Fred: Go on, get in there.
Merrie reluctantly goes back inside.
Fred: I'm gonna cut you in pieces little man.
Rick: Come on, baby, this'll be better than the ball game.
The giant teens then move over closer to Fred to get in on the action. Back in the theatre, Merrie pauses by Nancy and Cora to gloat.
Merrie: That boyfriend of yours is gonna get the daylights beaten out of him. And how do you like that (giggle)?
Merrie then walks away, finished with her little giggle, leaving Nancy very dejected. As Cora looks around, she sees the three guys with the bag of ether on the overhead catwalk.
Cora: Nancy, loo-
Merrie now is laying on the too-small bed, her weight causing it to almost buckle. As she looks up from her tiny 'Teen' magazine, she notices Nancy saying something to Cora.
Merrie: Don't try anything honey, you just stay right there, and you'll be alright.
The three men maneuver on the catwalk. As the men look down, they see where they are aiming for: Merrie's gargantuan cleavage.
Horsey: Ok, I'm gonna need both hands for this.
Oustide, Mike and Fred are still going at it. Mike makes another swing, knocking Fred in the chest.
Fred: UH!!
Fred and Mike then continue to fight, this tmie with Fred swinging at Mike with the tree trunk, instead of using it as a spear. Inside the theatre, Chuck and Fatso are holding onto a pulley with Horsey at the other end, a gasmask over his face and the ether-filled cotton bag in his arm. Horsey: Bombs away!
Horsey is let loose and falls straight for Merrie's chest. As she watches him come down, Horsey sticks the giant wad of cotton in her face. The ether-laced cotton does the trick and within seconds, the giantess is out like a light.
Merrie: (gasping)
Horsey makes his way down the giantess' body, and rushes to Nancy's aid. The others come down from the catwalk.
Horsey: That's all for that, now for those guns.
Nnacy: I've got to get to Mike.
Horsey: Chuck, take the girl home, will you?
Chuck: Right.
Mike's House- Day Genius is presiding over a strange substance that's giving off a strange yellow vapor.
Genius: Woof, we've come up with another Pumice compound...failed again.
As Genius goes back to work, he notices Woof sniffing the concoction.
Genius: Hey don't do that! Keep away!
Woof: (barks)
Suddenly, Woof begins to shrink. Soon, he is back to his normal size.
Genius: Doesn't work on me.
Woof: (barks)
Genius: Woof, I have some quite astounding news for you. Fortuitously perhaps, we have discovered the antidote, and there must be something we can do with it, wouldn't you say?
Woof: (barks)
Back at the town square, Mike is still playing the role of 'moving target.' Fred winds up and takes a swing, as Mike hids in some small trees. The giant stick Fred has breaks as it makes contact with the trees.
Mike: Missed again! Come on, Goliath! Now without his weapon, Fred drops the remainder of his stick and approaches Mike with open hands.
Merrie slowly stirs from her slumber, and looks around. As she looks towards Nancy and Cora, she sees they are no longer there. In a panic, she quickly rises from the bed heading outside. Just then, Horsey and Fatso emerge from behind a stage flat.
Horsey: Oh, she'll warn em'! After her, quick!
Fatso: What do we do if we catch her?
Back outside Mike has reached the steps of the town square clocktower. As he takes another wind with his sling, he swings-only to find he's let go, and now weaponless. Meanwhile, Merrie has joined the others, who are moving in towards Fred. We suddenly hear a 'crunching' noise, as Fred has picked up a nearby lightpost, and is preparing to bash Mike with it. Mike is now cornered against one of the clocktowers' pillars, with nowhere to go.
Merrie: Hey Fred, look.
Everyone turns to look, and suddenly, a bike comes flying down the street, yelloe vapors emitting from something attached to the back. The bike is being ridden by Genius, who begins to circle in front of the giants, as the yellow cloud just pours around them. Within seconds, the giants begin to shrink, until they're back to normal size, albeit with enormous clothing draped over them.
Mike: (nothing Fred's shrinking)Just a little bit more, Freddie-boy. Yeah that's right, just a little bit more.
Mike then grabs the now shrunken Fred, and puches him across the face, knocking him down. The other shrunken tens stand nearby, holding onto their huge garments.
Mike: How'd you like that, Goliath?
Sheriff: Alright. Well, back down to size, huh?
Deputy: Where's your tailor, Freddie? You need some adjustments, right?
Fred: Hey, hey! We're goin,' huh? Just leave us alone!
The teens hold onto their overszied garments and run from the town, back from where they came from. Eventually, they make it back to where their ar crashed, but still, there's no hope of getting it fixed and using it to drive out of there.
Fred: Well, we've got a long, long, long walk. As Fred starts to lead them away, he's confronted by someone.
Deep-voiced man: Uh, beg your pardon. Are you people coming from Hainesville?
Fred: Yes, we're coming from Hainesville.
Deep-voiced man: Is that the place where they have the Goo?
Fred: Yes, that's the place where they have the Goo.
Deep-voiced man: Thank you so much.
As the teens watch, a line of short people walk past, and walk up the road to Hainesville. Once they are gone, the once giant teenagers head off down the road, leaving Hainesville and their wrecked car behind. THE END AN EMBASSY PICTURES RELEASE
As the closing credits roll, we are once again treated to the color-keyed scenes of the giants once again gyrating in their enormous dancewear.
