SONG OF THE NIGHT'N DALE (Ruslan, SVZ) http://www.cdrr.ru
Gadget's gone too far this time, Chip.
She's got these blinked propellers facing the wrong way!
She knows what she's doing Monterey.
I'm sure the Ranger Wing is perfectly safe!
Oh, darn! I'm always ending up with parts left over.
Yeah! About as safe as a joy ride on the Titanic.
Are you sure power's getting through those connectors?
Looks like it to me.
What do you think you're doing in the pilot's seat?
That's OK.
I told Dale that I wanted everyone to know how to pilot the Ranger Wing.
The controls are really simple.
Simple controls for a simple mind.
Aw, you're just be in jealous 'cause you don't have a scarf.
I was just thinking,
it's a shame no one's saving this moment in pictures heh-heh.
I'll just pop down to the camera store...
Aah!
Wowie! This is great!
How do you make it go up and down?
Whoa!
Never mind. I found it.
Are you cuh-razy?
Why do I even ask?
What's this?
That's the hover switch.
It should turn the Rangerwing into a helicopter.
Should?!
Gosh! I've never been up this high!
Pally, I know birds who've never been up this high.
Wow! Look at those clouds!
Better stay away from them Dale. The updrafts can be very tricky.
Oh, I can handle a little draft.
Aah! Aah! Aah!
Take it down pally!
I left my stomach back on the ground floor.
I'm not doing anything.
We must be come in the jet stream. What's that?
Do you have to ask?
Hang on, mates!
E-eh... You don't mind if I do the piloting?
Do you, Dale?
Is everyone all right?
I let you know when my noggin stops spinning.
Actually the jet stream is a high-speed wind
current in the upper atmosphere.
A very cold wind current.
Golly! Where are we?
Looks like the Himalayas!
Crickey! This jet stream carried us halfway around the world!
We made it! Yay! Yay! Yay! Whoo!
I thought we were out of the jet stream!
We are! This is just a blizzard!
Oh! Lucky us!
Wait! There's a bird out there!
Oh, great! Now he's seeing things!
No! Dale's right. Look over there!
He'll freeze if we don't get him!
Hurry up with that net, Dale.
All set!
Very good shot, mates.
Now we just need to find place to land,
preferably someplace warm.
Golly! It doesn't look like that's going to be a problem.
These hot springs must be what keep the valley warm.
Just like a steam radiator.
'cept you don't have to bang on the pipes to get more heat.
Just the thing to warm up our bluebird.
He's not blue anymore.
Why did you save me?
Huh?
We're the Rescue Rangers. It's our job.
I'm Chirp-Sing, former pet to emperor Dim-Sun.
How did you get stuck in that blizzard?
I was trying to leave the valley.
Leave? Why?
This seems like as close to paradise as you can get...
Outside of my cheese factory.
I've brought shame to my family.
I am cursed and have given the emperor a sickness of the mind.
I saw them!
It is the emperor Dim-Sun.
I am not imagining it.
They wait until the night, then fly out to cause a horible mess.
But what, my lord, what hides in the imperial closets?
Was it the spirit warriors again?
No, the dragons, you foollish fish!
They tore my entire bed in two.
But Emperor, your bedchamber was undisturbed.
And your bed was in a single piece.
And remember, you were under it.
I was? Those fiendish devils must have sewn it up again!
Goodness, but they are most tricky.
You see? He is not in his right mind.
Dragons? Spirit warriors?
I guess you not the only crazy one in the valley.
But, most wise one, how can...
How can most loyal ministers
peck at our leader with such annoying questions?
A-ah, sister!
I was just telling...
I have heard.
I've taken the liberty of having your closets nailed shut.
That's Su-Lin, the emperor's sister.
She cares for him very much.
Little brother, you work too hard in a service of the valley.
It's time to get some rest.
Yes, that would be good.
You're sure the closets are nailed tight?
Quite, sure.
That dragons have made a shambels of my argyle sweaters.
But Su-Lin, there are affairs of state
that our emperor must attend to.
My brother's in no condition to be deciding such matters.
Perhaps he can look at them later.
Come. I must see him again.
Wow! This place looks like a toy store!
They're all presents to the emperor from Su-Lin.
This one looks about like you, Chirp-Sing.
It is my replacement.
Replacement?
Why would they replace you with a toy?
Su-Lin thinks I was sent by evil spirits
to drive the emperor mad.
What?
Hey! look at me! I'm a warrior!
Any dragons show up around here, and I'll skewer them!
All right! It moves!
En garde! Whoo, hee, whooh!
Golly!
Su-Lin has extraordinary talent for mechanical things.
Gotcha!
I always said Dale makes quite an impression.
You're lucky you only hit your head.
Here, let me wipe that oil off.
Can't you be serious for once?
Ow, you just don't know how to have fun anymore.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah! You don't have any imagination!
It's just that I know what's real and what' not I do, too.
Any dragons in there have better run and hide.
I've brought a great and fierce warrior with me.
Yes, I love to chop dragons into the littlest of bits.
I'm going to stay with the emperor all night long...
And while I sharpen my sword.
Oh, he's crazier than Dale.
He is not! I mean... We're not crazy.
And don't touch my argyle sweaters.
Well, at least, I'm not.
I must go to him.
What? Get back! Get away!
It's Chirp-Sing! My little nightingale.
O-ho, I have missed you so.
Do you have a song for me?
Ahem.
What? It's that bird! Get away!
Get away, you evil thing!
No! Stop!
I cannot stay. I must fly.
Don't worry. We'll watch the emperor for you.
Get out!
O-oh... It was only Chirp-Sing!
He was trying to cheer me up with a song.
It's an evil spirit sent by your enemies
to give you bad dreams.
Didn't your visions start when that bird started visiting?
Well, not exactly.
And hasn't you sister crafted a new nightingale for you?
Do you not like it?
It is exquisite, but...
Then let it's song sing you to sleep.
Good night, brother.
Yeah, good night, Su-Lin.
Well, it's past midnight.
No sign of dragons or anything else.
These clockwork figures are fantastic!
I bet Su-Lin has a workshop with everything I need
to finish repairs on the Ranger Wing.
Well, let's check it out!
Monterey Jack!
You and Dale keep an eye on the emperor for Chirp-Sing.
And try to keep Dale awake.
And try to stay awake!
I'll show him that I can take things seriously.
Say, you think this can play any other tunes?
I hope not.
I couldn't stand another chirp of that mechanical filibuster.
Hey, this thing still working.
What's going on?
A-a-a-ahh...
Now I mention that song does have a sweet lilt to it.
Oh! What have I here?
A little elf person.
Whoo! Elves are much nicer than dragons and warriors.
Have you come to do tricks for me?
I call this is a trick.
I wonder how I did it.
Oh, little elf! My tummy's not liking this.
That makes three of us.
Oh, goodness! I am a growing boy.
No! No! The room is shrinking!
Elf-person, I am not ready to be made smaller!
It is safe again. Please, no more tricks!
I must get some sleep!
Wake up Monterey! We got to save the emperor!
Huh? Right! To the rescue!
Right after me nap.
Ooh! Yikes!
It has been the nicect of times visiting with you fellows,
but I really must be...
sleeping?
Wow, she's got every size gear I need.
I won't even have to modify anything.
This stuff'll make the Ranger Wing better then ever!
Golly! I haven't seen a left shafted comp wrench in ages!
Hey!
Oh, my gosh! Sorry, Chip.
I'll have you out in a jiffy...
or not.
Hold on, Chip!
I don't have much choice.
Oh, no, thanks, Zipper. I'm not thirsty.
Oh, it's oil! Great idea, Zipper!
Gee, I thought Su-Lin's inventions were just windup toys.
Well, just be careful.
We don't need any more surprises.
Golly, a computer!
Hey, that's a picture of this valley!
Gee, I don't remember those buildings.
They cover the whole valley!
Hi, Chirp-Sing.
I thought it was safe to return.
But... But why aren't you watching the emperor?
Don't worry, He's safe. Monterey Jack and Dale are with him.
Aah! Aah!
Dale?
Aah! Chip! There was guys with swords!
I was an elf and made a bed fly.
And then we started growing, but the room was shrinking!
Ouch! Why did you do that for?
What are you talking about?! You're not making any sense.
There's no point in talking to you! Where's Monterey Jack?
He still back in there! We got to save him.
Be ready to run for cover
in case the bed is flying around again!
And be quiet! The sword guys might be waiting for us.
What sword guys?
Monty, you're all right!
Are all the sword guys gone?
Hey! What happened?
Who cleaned everything up?
That was all cut up. And those things cut the bed in half.
You saw it, Monterey. Tell them what happened.
Sorry, pally. When I woke up, you and Dim-Sun were gone.
It's OK, Dale.
Everything is all right.
But it's not all right!
I mean... This stuff's all right, but it shouldn't be all right!
'cause it wasn't...
I understand, Dale. Maybe things shouldn't be all right!
Of course it should be all right!
Say, why are you being so nice to me?
How come you aren't calling me crazy!
Nobody's said you were crazy. You aren't crazy!
I am, too! Am too, am too, am too!
What am I saying?
Aah!
There were four of them!
They attacked right after the bed landed!
You see! He saw them, too.
And this one cut my nightshirt.
But, emperor, this is only a bedpost.
And the room seems in perfect order.
But... But it was...
It's obvious that the emperor's nightmare has upset him.
But I was awake, wasn't I?
I will have the royal physician
mix a potion that will allow you to rest.
Yes, sister. Perhaps that's the best.
Honored sirs, I'm afraid the emperor can no longer perform his duties.
Ooh!
You do mean replace the emperor?
B-b-but then who would...
Of course, as his sister, I'll assume the throne until he's well.
Su-Lin was right. I am cursed.
I've brought madness to my emperor, now to friend Dale, too.
Me? But I'm not crazy...
Am I?
Oh, Dale, it's all my fault!
I put to much pressure on you.
And I was always calling you crazy!
But I'm not crazy!
Those sword guys real did moved.
Oh, poor Dale.
But he may be right, Chip.
This is the same kind of oil that Su-Lin uses in her inventions.
I think this thing's easy able to move.
You see? You see?
And I do remember some sort of smoke coming out of this thing.
Wow! After getting a wipe of that stuff,
anyone would think those mechanical things were real.
The emperor isn't crazy, Chirp-Sing!
But somebody wants everyone to think he is.
That potion will ensure you sleep soundly.
Thank you, Su-Lin.
It has to be her. Let's check it out.
I've been looking at the plans.
And I'm sure we can squeeze in another dozen condominiums.
Look. Once I'm empress, I can do anything I want.
We'll make room by knocking down the palace.
I won't need it.
Once this deal is lock down, I'm Monte Carlo-bound!
Golly! She just wants to control the valley so she can to sell it off!
But it's gonna be your mind hard proving that.
No problem! We'll get her to confess.
Confess? Are you crazy?
Yes, I'm crazy... Crazy like a fox!
To bad we couldn't move the walls, but at least the bed's all set.
And let's give her a taste of her own medicine.
What is...
Ow! Ooh.
My nightingale? But you can't fly, only sing.
Aah!
What? What...
You can't walk! I made you!
Ow!
You're as snug as a bug.
All right, Chirp-Sing!
Where are you?
Show yourself... Ooh!
Aah!
Dim-Sun, you must... Ooh!
This is all a trick.
This is merely a mannequin.
Oh... Hello, Su-Lin.
Ooh! Aah! Aah!
A-a-ah!
What is all this nonsense?
Ooh! Oh, no! It's happening again!
Emperor let us help you. Are you all right?
You see this, too?
Yes, emperor. It's some sort of cruel trick.
Thank you! Thank you!
It's a trick, thank goodness, much better than my tricks!
What do you mean, your tricks?
I only use my inventions
to made Dim-Sun think he was crazy.
This is much...
I mean, uh... I...
So, my own sister, huh,
tried to drive me away from my throne?
Ministers, take her away!
But it was only a... A joke.
That's it... A joke.
Great plan, Dale.
Sorry we thought you were crazy.
No, we're the ones who are crazy...
Crazy about you!
