I‐I don’t mean to laugh at you

22
00:01:27,788 --> 00:01:30,256
but you’ve got to admit,
it’s kinda peculiar.

We’ve gone for a nice
Chinese lunch at Wong‐Su’s

and his lovely wife, Su.

I want to talk to you.

The theme of next Sunday’s

00:02:03,456 --> 00:02:05,358
and I want a new
Dimitri cartoon for the cover.

35
00:02:07,594 --> 00:02:09,429
Dimitri is going to be
a cover sheep?

who used to work up here?

a federal case out of it.

maybe you should do something

take your mind off Dimitri.

00:08:35,982 --> 00:08:37,317
and therefore much much more

176
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:40,186
important than Dimitri’s life.

177
00:08:40,220 --> 00:08:41,955
How could I be so heartless?

178
00:08:43,857 --> 00:08:45,659
Keep the dryer.

179
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:47,561
I’ll get you my facial sauna.

180
00:08:51,331 --> 00:08:52,933
Balki!

181
00:08:52,966 --> 00:08:55,335
Incredible news!

182
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:58,071
You’ll never guess what I found
in the trash dumpster

183
00:08:58,104 --> 00:09:00,674
outside behind the Chronicle.
What are you doing?

184
00:09:00,707 --> 00:09:02,275
Get... Stop it!

185
00:09:02,308 --> 00:09:03,810
Balki.

186
00:09:03,844 --> 00:09:06,212
I found...Dimitri.

187
00:09:06,246 --> 00:09:07,914
Oh! Cousin!

188
00:09:09,616 --> 00:09:11,585
Now we are so happy,
we do the dance of joy.

189
00:09:11,618 --> 00:09:13,620
[chattering]

190
00:09:13,654 --> 00:09:15,589
Good idea. Good idea.
Good idea. Good idea.

191
00:09:15,622 --> 00:09:19,092
But first, first we draw,
then we dance.

192
00:09:23,764 --> 00:09:26,066
Cousin, cousin,
why can’t I hold Dimitri?

193
00:09:26,099 --> 00:09:27,167
Oh, well, Balki, uh,
Dimitri’s been through

194
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,268
a traumatic experience

195
00:09:28,301 --> 00:09:31,004
and he needs
to spend some time alone.

196
00:09:31,037 --> 00:09:33,173
But, but, cousin,
I, but the thing is, I‐I

197
00:09:33,206 --> 00:09:36,109
yesterday he wanted
$10,000 for Dimitri

198
00:09:36,142 --> 00:09:37,644
and‐and
why he did change his mind?

199
00:09:37,678 --> 00:09:40,180
Well, uh, maybe somebody
saw him with Dimitri

200
00:09:40,213 --> 00:09:42,649
and, and, and so he had to get
rid of the evidence

201
00:09:42,683 --> 00:09:45,051
but the important thing is,
Dimitri is here

202
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:47,353
and now we can get that cartoon

203
00:09:47,387 --> 00:09:49,956
to Mr. Wainwright
by Monday morning.

204
00:09:51,658 --> 00:09:53,794
Okay, now, here we go.

205
00:09:53,827 --> 00:09:56,029
Do your warm up.
Five finger push‐ups.

206
00:09:56,062 --> 00:09:57,097
‐Five finger push‐ups, ready
‐Cousin, co‐cousin, cousin...

207
00:09:57,130 --> 00:10:00,233
One...two...three, four, five.

208
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,135
Okay, good, good, good.

209
00:10:02,168 --> 00:10:03,637
‐Okay, here we go.
‐Argh!

210
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:05,271
We’re going to write your name

211
00:10:05,305 --> 00:10:08,141
in the air with your nose, okay?

212
00:10:08,174 --> 00:10:09,643
‐B!
‐Oww! Oww!

213
00:10:09,676 --> 00:10:11,044
‐A!
‐Oww! Oww!

214
00:10:11,077 --> 00:10:14,147
‐L! K!
‐Cousin!

215
00:10:14,180 --> 00:10:16,016
Cousin! Cousin!

216
00:10:16,049 --> 00:10:17,851
I always write my name
with capitals.

217
00:10:17,884 --> 00:10:19,219
You using lowercase.

218
00:10:23,123 --> 00:10:25,659
‐Sorry.
‐No, that’s alright.

219
00:10:25,692 --> 00:10:27,193
‐Okay, here we go.
‐Oww!

220
00:10:27,227 --> 00:10:28,394
‐B!
‐Oww!

221
00:10:28,428 --> 00:10:30,063
‐A!
‐Oww! Oww! Aah!

222
00:10:30,096 --> 00:10:31,264
‐L!
‐Oww! Cous...

223
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:32,699
‐K!
‐Cousin! Oww!

224
00:10:32,733 --> 00:10:34,701
‐I!
‐Oww!

225
00:10:34,735 --> 00:10:37,370
Why does it have
to hurt so much?

226
00:10:39,439 --> 00:10:40,841
Just be glad
you don’t have a longer name.

227
00:10:40,874 --> 00:10:43,343
Okay, here we go!

228
00:10:43,376 --> 00:10:45,411
‐Alright, we’re going to‐‐
‐Ah‐ha!

229
00:10:45,445 --> 00:10:47,681
You wait
just a cotton candy minute.

230
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:52,819
Dimitri was made of pure wool

231
00:10:52,853 --> 00:10:56,089
and this little imitation
is made of some synthetic fiber.

232
00:10:56,122 --> 00:10:57,390
Uh‐uh‐uh...

233
00:10:57,423 --> 00:11:02,028
Cousin, my little friend Dimitri
was not 32% rayon.

234
00:11:02,062 --> 00:11:03,163
This is not Dimitri.

235
00:11:03,196 --> 00:11:06,299
This is some puny
polyester imposter.

236
00:11:06,332 --> 00:11:08,935
Now, Balki, Balki,
of course it’s Dimitri.

237
00:11:08,969 --> 00:11:10,971
I‐if it wasn’t Dimitri,
how do you explain that

238
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:12,072
that when I walked
by the dumpster

239
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:13,306
he was, he was calling my name.

240
00:11:13,339 --> 00:11:16,910
[bleating]
Cousin Larry! Cousin Larry!

241
00:11:21,181 --> 00:11:22,448
Get a grip.

242
00:11:25,118 --> 00:11:27,120
This is a stuffed sheep.

243
00:11:28,522 --> 00:11:30,724
Alright, alright,
maybe it’s not Dimitri!

244
00:11:30,757 --> 00:11:32,793
[panting]
But‐but
if you don’t draw Dimitri

245
00:11:32,826 --> 00:11:34,360
Mr. Wainwright
is going to fire us.

246
00:11:34,394 --> 00:11:37,764
Cousin, look, I‐I,
I don’t know how to say this.

247
00:11:37,798 --> 00:11:39,265
I cannot draw Dimitri

248
00:11:39,299 --> 00:11:42,035
unless I have Dimitri
in front of me.

249
00:11:42,068 --> 00:11:44,037
It’s like,
you cannot take a pill

250
00:11:44,070 --> 00:11:46,106
unless Jennifer
hides it in apple sauce.

251
00:11:48,809 --> 00:11:50,110
I‐I’m sorry.

252
00:11:50,143 --> 00:11:51,978
Okay. Okay.

253
00:11:53,413 --> 00:11:54,915
[sighs]
If you can’t draw Dimitri

254
00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:56,482
unless Dimitri’s here

255
00:11:56,517 --> 00:11:58,418
we’ll just have to
get Dimitri back.

256
00:11:58,451 --> 00:12:00,987
But, cousin,
we cannot afford the‐the ransom.

257
00:12:01,021 --> 00:12:02,188
Balki, forget the ransom.

258
00:12:02,222 --> 00:12:04,224
We are gonna catch
the kidnapper.

259
00:12:07,427 --> 00:12:09,462
Now, what we have to do
is to get him to meet us

260
00:12:09,495 --> 00:12:11,765
in a place
where we have the advantage.

261
00:12:11,798 --> 00:12:14,801
I’ve got it, cousin.
The jungle gym down at the park.

262
00:12:14,835 --> 00:12:16,903
I know that thing inside out.

263
00:12:18,138 --> 00:12:19,205
It’ll never work.

264
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:20,974
How about the market?

265
00:12:21,007 --> 00:12:22,042
What advantage
will we have there?

266
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:23,143
None, but we need milk.

267
00:12:24,545 --> 00:12:26,112
[telephone ringing]

268
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,849
Hello!

269
00:12:28,882 --> 00:12:31,017
Yes, this is Balki Bartokomous.

270
00:12:31,051 --> 00:12:33,053
Cousin,
it’s the man who has Dimitri.

271
00:12:33,086 --> 00:12:35,188
Listen, listen, l‐he‐he‐he likes

272
00:12:35,221 --> 00:12:36,422
to be scratched behind the ears

273
00:12:36,456 --> 00:12:38,358
and, and he likes to sleep
on his left side

274
00:12:38,391 --> 00:12:39,926
and he has lived...

275
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,494
Yes, I know
he’s just a stuffed animal

276
00:12:41,528 --> 00:12:43,897
but I’ve been under
tremendous emotional strain!

277
00:12:43,930 --> 00:12:45,331
Please indulge me!

278
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,069
Balki, if we’re going
to get Dimitri back

279
00:12:49,102 --> 00:12:51,404
we’re gonna have to get tough.

280
00:12:51,437 --> 00:12:53,206
Alright, listen, pally!

281
00:12:55,008 --> 00:12:56,510
Listen and listen up good.

282
00:12:56,543 --> 00:12:59,179
We’ve got your $10,000,
but we’re not gonna meet you

283
00:12:59,212 --> 00:13:02,148
in some dark dangerous alley!

284
00:13:04,017 --> 00:13:06,286
No! Shut up! Don’t talk!

285
00:13:06,319 --> 00:13:08,889
We’ll meet you tonight
at midnight

286
00:13:08,922 --> 00:13:12,058
in the, in the
the basement of the Chronicle.

287
00:13:12,092 --> 00:13:15,295
A‐and bring the sheep!

288
00:13:15,328 --> 00:13:17,964
And that goes
double for me, pally!

289
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:23,469
[intense music]

290
00:13:33,446 --> 00:13:36,216
Balki, help me
spread out these marbles.

291
00:13:36,249 --> 00:13:38,919
Uh... Cousin, you know,
I, I love playing marbles

292
00:13:38,952 --> 00:13:41,287
just as much
as anyone else but...

293
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:43,890
...now it seems
kind of an odd time.

294
00:13:45,926 --> 00:13:46,993
I don’t know how you play

295
00:13:47,027 --> 00:13:48,428
but you know
what we do on Mypos?

296
00:13:48,461 --> 00:13:51,397
We put all the marbles
in our mouth

297
00:13:51,431 --> 00:13:53,366
and then...we’ll see

298
00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:55,569
who can spit them the farthest.

299
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:08,314
Balki,
we are not playing marbles.

300
00:14:12,085 --> 00:14:13,554
We are setting a trap
for the kidnapper.

301
00:14:13,587 --> 00:14:14,888
Well...

302
00:14:14,921 --> 00:14:17,423
Now, when he comes in

303
00:14:17,457 --> 00:14:19,025
he’ll step on the marbles.

304
00:14:19,059 --> 00:14:22,162
When he falls,
that’s when we jump him. Okay?

305
00:14:22,195 --> 00:14:24,197
It’s almost midnight.
Hit the lights.

306
00:14:36,409 --> 00:14:37,978
Cousin.

307
00:14:39,613 --> 00:14:41,615
What are you thinking?

308
00:14:45,351 --> 00:14:47,087
I was just thinking...

309
00:14:48,655 --> 00:14:51,091
...that I’m waiting
here in the dark...

310
00:14:52,425 --> 00:14:55,395
...for someone deranged enough

311
00:14:55,428 --> 00:14:57,664
to kidnap a stuffed sheep.

312
00:15:01,034 --> 00:15:03,303
And therefore, probably

313
00:15:03,336 --> 00:15:06,172
deranged enough to be carrying

314
00:15:06,206 --> 00:15:09,009
one of those
automatic assault rifles.

315
00:15:11,978 --> 00:15:14,648
And I’m doing this...

316
00:15:14,681 --> 00:15:17,450
...so I can fill in a bubble...

317
00:15:17,483 --> 00:15:19,319
...over a cartoon...

318
00:15:21,555 --> 00:15:24,991
...to please my boss...

319
00:15:25,025 --> 00:15:27,360
...who thinks
I’m a babbling twit.

320
00:15:32,132 --> 00:15:34,067
Maybe I should
re‐examine my life.

321
00:15:36,637 --> 00:15:38,539
You want to know
what I’m thinking?

322
00:15:41,407 --> 00:15:42,609
No.

323
00:15:51,718 --> 00:15:52,753
[footsteps approaching]

324
00:15:52,786 --> 00:15:54,755
[gasps]
Cousin, someone’s coming.

325
00:15:54,788 --> 00:15:56,156
It’s the kidnapper.

326
00:15:56,189 --> 00:15:57,624
Alright, alright, when he falls

327
00:15:57,658 --> 00:15:59,459
that’s when we jump him.

328
00:15:59,492 --> 00:16:02,162
[intense music]

329
00:16:02,195 --> 00:16:03,329
Now!

330
00:16:05,498 --> 00:16:07,100
[screaming]

331
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:14,040
Cousin, it’s Miss Lydia.

332
00:16:14,074 --> 00:16:16,409
Boy, you think
you know a person.

333
00:16:18,344 --> 00:16:20,113
What are you two doing here?

334
00:16:20,146 --> 00:16:21,281
[groaning]

335
00:16:21,314 --> 00:16:23,283
Miss Lydia, Miss Lydia

336
00:16:23,316 --> 00:16:25,185
you, you have kidnapped Dimitri

337
00:16:25,218 --> 00:16:27,654
and you’re here
to collect the ransom money.

338
00:16:27,688 --> 00:16:30,156
I love you, Miss Lydia,
but you have thrown me into

339
00:16:30,190 --> 00:16:32,593
a terrible emotional conflict!

340
00:16:32,626 --> 00:16:34,494
You have done a horrible thing!

341
00:16:34,528 --> 00:16:35,395
But I want you to know

342
00:16:35,428 --> 00:16:37,698
that I am going
to do everything I can

343
00:16:37,731 --> 00:16:39,265
to help you become once again

344
00:16:39,299 --> 00:16:41,167
a useful member of society.

345
00:16:41,201 --> 00:16:43,369
Cousin, get her out of my sight.

346
00:16:44,505 --> 00:16:46,439
I didn’t steal your sheep.

347
00:16:46,472 --> 00:16:48,208
I don’t even eat lamb.

348
00:16:49,475 --> 00:16:51,211
Balki!

349
00:16:51,244 --> 00:16:53,213
It wasn’t Lydia.

350
00:16:53,246 --> 00:16:55,215
It was a man’s voice
on the phone.

351
00:16:55,248 --> 00:16:57,083
Oh, never mind.

352
00:16:58,819 --> 00:17:00,120
I‐I‐I‐I’m sorry, Lydia

353
00:17:00,153 --> 00:17:01,688
a‐all this Dimitri stuff

354
00:17:01,722 --> 00:17:03,323
has gotten us a little tense.

355
00:17:03,356 --> 00:17:06,026
Oh, shame on you!

356
00:17:17,571 --> 00:17:19,573
False alarm. Come on.

357
00:17:19,606 --> 00:17:20,774
‐Watch your step.
‐Watch it. Yeah.

358
00:17:20,807 --> 00:17:22,308
You be... Hit the lights.

359
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:28,448
[intense music]

360
00:17:32,653 --> 00:17:35,288
[footsteps approaching]

361
00:17:35,321 --> 00:17:36,657
Hey! Balki!

362
00:17:36,690 --> 00:17:38,291
This is it!

363
00:17:41,394 --> 00:17:42,596
Now!

364
00:17:44,665 --> 00:17:45,732
[screaming]

365
00:17:49,169 --> 00:17:52,438
Cousin, it’s Mr. Gorpley.

366
00:17:52,472 --> 00:17:55,241
Boy, you think
you know a person.

367
00:17:57,678 --> 00:17:59,179
Do you ever think maybe you two

368
00:17:59,212 --> 00:18:01,147
spend too much time together?

369
00:18:02,616 --> 00:18:05,519
Mr. Gorpley,
why didn’t you come to me?

370
00:18:05,552 --> 00:18:08,488
We could’ve talked this over.
I‐I thought we were friends.

371
00:18:08,522 --> 00:18:10,557
Hey! It’s Balki.

372
00:18:12,926 --> 00:18:16,196
Balki, that’s not why
Gorpley is here.

373
00:18:19,365 --> 00:18:20,867
Lydia’s upstairs.

374
00:18:20,901 --> 00:18:23,469
Oh, she is? Oh.

375
00:18:23,504 --> 00:18:26,239
Well, maybe
I’ll just stop up and say hi.

376
00:18:32,546 --> 00:18:35,148
Hit the lights. Watch out.

377
00:18:35,181 --> 00:18:36,382
‐Careful. Yeah.
‐You be careful.

378
00:18:36,416 --> 00:18:37,417
Easy, cousin.

379
00:18:43,489 --> 00:18:44,424
How long do you think

380
00:18:44,457 --> 00:18:47,293
this parade
of innocent people will go on?

381
00:18:51,932 --> 00:18:53,499
I don’t know, Balki

382
00:18:53,534 --> 00:18:55,769
but when this monster shows up

383
00:18:55,802 --> 00:18:57,403
we’re gonna be ready for him.

384
00:18:58,605 --> 00:18:59,806
‐Ah‐ha!
‐Aah!

385
00:19:01,975 --> 00:19:03,544
Rob Bob!

386
00:19:03,577 --> 00:19:04,578
Rob Bob, how are you?

387
00:19:04,611 --> 00:19:06,613
Oh, I‐I’m just fine,
thank you, I’m fine.

388
00:19:06,647 --> 00:19:08,849
Cousin Larry, look,
this is Rob Bob Phillips.

389
00:19:08,882 --> 00:19:10,183
He used to work here.

390
00:19:10,216 --> 00:19:11,217
Well, get down, Rob Bob

391
00:19:11,251 --> 00:19:13,219
because we’re waiting
to catch a kidnapper.

392
00:19:13,253 --> 00:19:15,388
‐Uh, Larry, Balki‐‐
‐Balki, hit the lights.

393
00:19:16,957 --> 00:19:19,726
[intense music]

394
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,194
I’m the kidnapper.

395
00:19:25,265 --> 00:19:26,700
Balki, hit the lights.

396
00:19:28,368 --> 00:19:29,836
I’m sorry
to put you through so much.

397
00:19:29,870 --> 00:19:32,238
I know it was hard on you.

398
00:19:32,272 --> 00:19:35,576
‐Here’s Dimitri.
‐Oh, Dimitri, Dimitri.

399
00:19:35,609 --> 00:19:37,811
I took real good care of him.

400
00:19:37,844 --> 00:19:39,479
He really wasn’t much trouble.

401
00:19:41,948 --> 00:19:44,250
Listen, uh, Rob Bob, uh

402
00:19:44,284 --> 00:19:46,452
we haven’t been able
to raise, uh

403
00:19:46,486 --> 00:19:49,523
all of the $10,000 ransom,
so, in‐in a couple of days‐‐

404
00:19:49,556 --> 00:19:52,793
Balki, Balki,
we are not giving him any money.

405
00:19:53,927 --> 00:19:56,262
You know...

406
00:19:56,296 --> 00:19:58,699
...you short guys
really tick me off.

407
00:19:58,732 --> 00:20:02,703
You know that?
You sleazy little worm!

408
00:20:02,736 --> 00:20:04,270
I‐I‐I don’t want any money!

409
00:20:04,304 --> 00:20:05,371
Oh, sure, sure now that you know

410
00:20:05,405 --> 00:20:07,608
you’re dealing with somebody
bigger than you are

411
00:20:07,641 --> 00:20:09,910
you sawed‐off
little criminal, huh?

412
00:20:09,943 --> 00:20:11,411
H‐how tall are you?

413
00:20:11,444 --> 00:20:13,747
‐Huh? Huh?
‐Cousin. Cousin...

414
00:20:13,780 --> 00:20:14,915
That’s enough.

415
00:20:16,817 --> 00:20:19,553
I just want Balki to forgive me.

416
00:20:19,586 --> 00:20:21,021
The reason your Dimitri cartoon

417
00:20:21,054 --> 00:20:22,355
got into the Chronicle

418
00:20:22,388 --> 00:20:24,457
is ’cause the cartoon I draw

419
00:20:24,490 --> 00:20:26,760
Kangaroo Cowboy, was dropped

420
00:20:26,793 --> 00:20:28,829
from the paper.

421
00:20:28,862 --> 00:20:30,931
I was hurt.

422
00:20:30,964 --> 00:20:31,998
And I wanted to hurt you

423
00:20:32,032 --> 00:20:34,034
so I took Dimitri.

424
00:20:34,067 --> 00:20:36,603
I thought the paper
would pay the ransom.

425
00:20:36,637 --> 00:20:39,706
But I felt so awful
about what I was doing.

426
00:20:39,740 --> 00:20:42,275
Then I realized

427
00:20:42,308 --> 00:20:43,744
"Kangaroo Cowboy" would never

428
00:20:43,777 --> 00:20:45,812
do something that despicable.

429
00:20:47,914 --> 00:20:49,482
So I’m giving
Dimitri back to you.

430
00:20:49,516 --> 00:20:51,852
I’m sorry, Balki.

431
00:20:51,885 --> 00:20:52,953
I forgive you.

432
00:20:52,986 --> 00:20:54,588
[sighs]

433
00:20:55,388 --> 00:20:56,489
Here, Balki.

434
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:02,328
You know what you are?

435
00:21:02,362 --> 00:21:05,331
You’re short. You’re so short!

436
00:21:05,365 --> 00:21:06,767
You little worm!

437
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,469
Just a,
just a short little worm!

438
00:21:09,503 --> 00:21:11,572
Just, j‐just... No, come on! No!

439
00:21:11,605 --> 00:21:12,673
Just let me have
one more shot at him.

440
00:21:12,706 --> 00:21:13,774
Hey, hey, hey!

441
00:21:13,807 --> 00:21:15,542
How’s the weather
down there, huh?

442
00:21:22,816 --> 00:21:24,718
Well, why didn’t you tell us
all this when you called?

443
00:21:24,751 --> 00:21:26,987
I tried!

444
00:21:27,020 --> 00:21:28,922
You wouldn’t let me talk!

445
00:21:31,491 --> 00:21:33,359
I hear that.

446
00:21:33,393 --> 00:21:35,461
It’s late. I better get going.

447
00:21:35,495 --> 00:21:37,564
I’m sorry, Balki.

448
00:21:37,598 --> 00:21:40,433
Rob Bob, it’s really,
it’s, it’s, it’s okay.

449
00:21:40,466 --> 00:21:43,369
And, uh, hey,
give Kangaroo Cowboy

450
00:21:43,403 --> 00:21:46,006
a real big buckaroo
howdy for me.

451
00:21:47,674 --> 00:21:48,809
‐Howdy!
‐Howdy!

452
00:21:50,677 --> 00:21:52,345
I’ll tell him. Bye.

453
00:21:52,378 --> 00:21:53,580
Bye.

454
00:21:57,984 --> 00:22:00,821
Come on, Balki,
let’s go up to our office

455
00:22:00,854 --> 00:22:03,089
If we hurry, we can still
get the Dimitri cartoon

456
00:22:03,123 --> 00:22:04,925
on Mr. Wainwright’s desk
by morning.

457
00:22:06,793 --> 00:22:08,461
[screaming]

458
00:22:14,968 --> 00:22:16,770
This is why on Mypos

459
00:22:16,803 --> 00:22:19,072
we leave the marble playing
to professionals.

460
00:22:22,609 --> 00:22:25,546
[theme music]

461
00:22:31,752 --> 00:22:34,120
[theme music]

462
00:23:02,148 --> 00:23:03,950
[music continues]
