Mighty Max (1993) s01e06 Episode Script

1
Oh,
this just isn't my day!
(tribe members mumbling)
Can't we all just be friends?
Whoa!
Bring her here!
Yeah, I'll have a large
pizza with mushrooms,
onions, anchovies,
pepperoni, olives, spinach,
yeah, spinach, chicken,
pineapple, green peppers,
broccoli, and extra cheese.
What the?
Max, Go To, Library -
-Turn left at Shakespeare -
Well, not wild about
Shakespeare, but duty calls!
(dramatic music)
Whoa!
Hi, guys!
Whoa!
Is this where the
gladiators did battle?
We don't have time
to ponder that now.
A more pressing
dilemma is at hand.
Oh, yeah. Well, you need
me to save the world again?
You know, actually, this is
getting to be quite a habit.
It isn't the world that's
in danger right now.
It's your mother.
Mother? What's
wrong with my mom?
She's had an archeological
dig in the Congo.
Did.. did something happen?
She's in a great deal
of jeopardy, Mighty One.
The scrolls for tale
trouble there right now.
Well, then what
are we waiting for?
Where's the nearest
exit? Let's go!
I hope we're on the right track.
The native guide said this is the direction
mom was heading when she was last seen.
It might not be very safe since the
guides were so reluctant to come up here.
Excuse me, Virgil. If mom
went this way, I'm going this way.
Good thing we knew this
brush was gonna be here.
Right.
You think that
mom came this way?
Well, it would explain
her disappearance.
Yeah. Well, then let's go.
Holy Ford Fair lane,
look what I found you guys.
Why, from the looks of it, I'd say
this baby's been here a long time.
Heh, what do you know?
Key still in the ignition.
This reeks of foul play.
Well, we know they
didn't run out of gas.
Boy, they really made
these things the last.
Norman, we've got visitors.
Oh man, I told on I needed
a new pair of sneakers.
Cool! These guys must
be really into heavy metal.
Uh, behold, the
power of rock and roll.
Evil Spirits.
Must prefer Sinatra.
(laughing)
Monkey see, monkey do.
Not now, Norman, rock for it.
Get them.
What on earth are gorillas
doing driving chariots?
Trying to kill us, birds.
(grunting)
Kill them!
This way.
Of course, this way
it looks good too.
I believe we've run
out of running room.
Well, they're looks like
we're going for a swim.
But I don't know how.
Gotta learn some time.
No!
Whoa, oh this isn't my
idea of a day at the beach.
Whoa!
- Whoa!
Wow!
Oh man, why does this
always happen to me?
Mighty One!
(screaming).
They are dead.
Let us go.
We lost him.
And I almost lost my lunch.
Oh dear, I've been thinking, what
if your mother had the bad fortune
to run into those simians
the same way we did,
only was not so fortunate?
Well then let's make like an ape
and follow them before they get away.
This is amazing, the whole
alternate gorilla civilization,
how extraordinary.
Yeah, maybe so, but all
I wanna do is find mom.
Take my mount
and be quick about it.
Where is my food?
(making excuse sounds)
How dare you make excuses.
Radiant, I will get another
slave to take your place.
The gorillas can talk.
Left untouched by the modern world, they
must have developed skills similar to ours.
Yeah, and the humans don't
seem to have made it past
their grunting and scratching
stage, they're all slaves.
No wonder they attacked
us when we arrived,
they must have been under
orders from the gorillas.
Get up.
I'll teach you to talk
back to your master,
tie him up.
(talking in undeveloped tongue)
Man, these gorillas are brutal.
They certainly haven't developed
compassion with their social skills.
Let's find my mom.
Ah, obviously a music lover.
Hey, baby, stop, stop with the
bowing, I'm human just like you.
(mumbling)
You like it? Yeah, it's
the heart of fashion.
Hey, I can get you
a good deal on them.
(mumbling)
Yeah, right, I agree completely.
Whatever it was you said.
Mighty One!
Listen bud, I'd love to stay in chat
all day, but I need to find my mom.
Have you seen her?
No, mom, mom, mom.
(mumbling)
Enough, quit nibbling.
Go ahead and eat me already.
Mom? mom??
Max?
Mom!
- Max!
It's you, it's really you.
What are you doing here?
How'd you find me?
Oh, it's a long story. I'll
tell you after we get you out.
I don't think so.
You'll never take us alive.
- Norman, no!
You never let me have any fun.
I could have taken them.
There were too many, Norman.
I didn't want to end up
a gorilla burger, okay?
Huh, do each his own.
This must be the Alpha
male of the pack, the leader.
Oh yeah?
Hi, how you doing?
Nice lost civilization
you got here.
Beats a heck out of San
Diego Zoo, six ways to sundown.
Where did you come
from strange ones?
And how is it you speak so well?
Well, we came from beyond the
valley, a place called Suburbia.
You'd like it.
- (all laugh)
You lie.
There is no beyond the valley.
Oh yeah? And how do you explain
that Jeep I found in the jungle?
We're not the first, you know.
There are only rumors
of visitors from long ago.
And where are they now?
Your great great grand gorillas
probably bumped them off.
Maybe they're afraid of us.
Afraid, afraid!
Gorillas fear
nothing, hairless one.
These animals bring evil thoughts,
kill them before they do us harm.
We should have killed the
female as soon as we caught her.
Hey, if you touch my mom, they're gonna
personally answer to me, you big ape.
No, Max!
How cute.
The feeble human cub
wishes to provoke me.
So little one, what would
you do, gnaw my ankle off?
(laughing)
Mike doesn't always
make right, Bonzo.
We can do things in our world
you guys never even dreamed of.
He's right, you know.
We have medicines to
heal the wounded and sick.
In our world, the weak die, so the
strong can survive to breed at better race.
It's helping people
that makes you better.
Yeah, we have laws that
protect the strong and the weak.
There is only one law,
the law of the jungle.
But we have things called telephones
that let us communicate
over really long distances.
We can yell and be heard
by everyone in the valley.
(screams)
Well, that's pretty cool.
Well, we can fly.
(all mumbles)
Unclean, unclean!
They bring evil sorcery.
They must be destroyed before
their words and deeds harm us.
(panting)
This is all very strange.
I need time to think.
Lock up the prisoners
until I reach a decision.
Come on, we're bringing you the
wonders of the outside world, not harm.
Hey, if you're so great, you
shouldn't be afraid of a little kid.
Well, at least you
tried to save me, honey.
And I'm proud of you for that.
What do you suppose
they're going to do?
Hey, Normie, give me a boost.
About time, Mighty One.
Whenever you're ready, big guy.
My pleasure.
(grunts)
Scratch one, monkey.
Come on.
This way.
(mumblings and cries of fear)
(mumbling)
Uh, thank you.
Um, yeah, I have
something for you too.
(mumbling)
Gee, I hope this doesn't
mean we're engaged or anything.
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, like this.
Oh, ah.
(mumblings)
Hey, maybe I started a
new fashion trend, huh?
The gorillas are gone.
Hey, if you're ever in
my neck of the woods,
don't be afraid to stop by
and I'll show you my crib.
Uh-oh, company.
Follow me.
- Yeah, follow him.
Do not let them escape.
(groaning)
The cavalry has arrived.
Kill them!
This way!
Okay, okay, you there, you
there, you there, and you there.
Now we got a game plan.
Look.
Aim.
Fire!
Yes!
Charge!
Throw!
Keep going!
(all scream)
Reminds me of that
time with the Philistines.
Come on, Norman.
(growling)
Kill them all!
Mom, my handkerchief!
We give up, we give up!
No prisoners, no prisoners!
Norman!
(growling)
It is over.
Execute them.
Hey, we only tried to
escape to go back home.
Just let us go outside the valley
and we'll never come back, I promise.
There is no outside the valley.
We defeated you.
It is done.
Big deal, it was only 20 to one.
You wouldn't be
so tough by yourself.
Fair enough, I'll fight you.
Me? Oh no, no, I don't
think that one, wait, Norman!
Norman's the one!
You heard him, it is
the ritual challenge!
You leave my son alone!
Okay, okay, okay,
I get the message.
I'll take the big guy on,
but if I win, we get to go.
Okay, so how am I supposed
to take this big guy on?
Well, perhaps,
um, the fisticuffs?
I got a better plan.
Do you have the portal map?
- Of course.
Gimme, you know what my plan is?
What?
- Run!
This isn't in the rules!
There are no rules
in the ritual challenge.
Thank fast, Maxie, or this guy's gonna
take you out before you even have a chance!
Ah!
(dramatic music)
(tires screeching)
(Mighty Max theme music)
Nice move, you oversight baboon!
There's only one way out.
Whoa, what do you
know, Air conditioning!
There it is!
So long, sucker!
I don't know, Virgil.
You think Max is okay?
Oh, don't worry, I'm
sure he'll be all right.
I mean, it's only a
bloodthirsty 800 pound gorilla
wanting to tear
him limb from limb.
He's faced much worse.
Gee, thanks.
Hi, gang, am I late for dinner?
Max!
Thank you, thank you!
You have triumphed.
I was afraid to make.
All you told is two things.
There is an outside world.
Here is the throne, take it.
I am done.
Uh, thanks, but no thanks.
I just wanna go
home and get a pizza.
I don't think mom would understand
if I became Max of the jungle.
But, is it there
anything you want?
Well, you could treat the
tribes people as equals.
After all, we're all just human.
Your victory forces
me to Grant your wish.
(cheering)
You know, it'd be fun to come back here
in a thousand years and see what I started.
This week, we went to the
Congo and came face to face
with the world's largest
primates, the gorillas.
Did you know there are
only 50,000 lowland gorillas
left in the whole world
and only 320 mountain
gorillas remaining in
a tiny corner of Zaire?
And that's not counting
my Aunt Matilda.
Always do what you can
to help the world's wildlife.
See you next week.
