Wishbone (1995) s01e27 Episode Script
The Count's Account
What's the story, Wishbone?
What's this your dreaming of?
Such big imagination
on such a little pub.
What's the story, Wishbone?
Do you think it's worth a look?
It kind of seems familiar
like a story from a book.
Shake a leg now, Wishbone.
Let's wag another take.
Sniffing out adventure with
Wishphone on the trail.
Come on Wishphone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
I should have any old bones in here?
I was saving this spot
for my squeaky book.
For once, I like having
Wishbone to dig up my garden.
Wanda?
Wanda.
Try it the best. Who needs the rest?
I knew you'd come around.
Spring is the perfect time
to make a new beginning.
Yeah, just don't get
all mushy on me, okay?
Gotta do my job.
You know, the soil's a little hard.
Oh, I know, but for these beauties,
you have to wait until you're
sure the weather will stay warm.
One chill and they're doomed.
Well, it's really up to the fates now.
Yeah, and as fate would have
it, I'm ready for another one.
Wanda.
Well, I see Wishbone's ready for another.
Hey, what's the hold-up?
Come on, Sam.
D.
This time, rub your nose in it.
Excuse me.
Get a load of farmer, Sam.
Are you weird Wanda's new field hand?
DeMont, you need help.
Do you see what I'm doing?
It's called being a friend.
You know, you should try it sometimes.
I'm not that desperate.
Dumbat.
He just doesn't like
to see anybody happy.
You know, folks like that
can make nice people turn me.
That's what happens to Edmond Dantes,
the hero of the Count of Monte
Cristo, by Alexander Dumas.
He's the same guy who brought
you the Three Musketeers.
Innocent, happy Edmond Dantes was a sailor
living in Marseille, France in 1815.
He was as faithful and
obedient as, well, a dog.
Monsieur Morelle, I've brought
your ship and cargo back safely.
You heard of our misfortune.
Yes, it's terrible.
Captain LeClair fell ill and died.
We shall honor his memory.
Oh, excuse me for him.
a moment. Lower the flag and pen
it to half-mast. Slope the yards!
Mr. Monsieur, I have
the ship's accounts. Ah,
Denglard. Good to see you.
We'll review them first
thing in the morning.
He's done a good job
taking over and bringing
the ship back home
after the accident, eh? I suppose. He's
such a copy. Yes, he's young. He's young.
But he knows the sea.
And I'm told that the crew
all love him. Is that true?
If you say so, sir.
It must be.
Sorry about the interruption.
Oh, hello, Dunglass.
Please excuse me.
And now that the ship's in harbor,
sir, may I be permitted to
I know. You need time to
marry your enchanting fiancée.
Yes, sir!
Yes, sir!
Hurry home! The Fereon cannot
sail without her new captain.
New captain? You mean me?
Thank you, Monsieur Morel. I'm honored!
I know. You would rather hold
another hand. Off with you!
He leaves Port a common sailor.
He leaves Port a common
sailor and returns a hero.
No, Catarousse. I should
be the new captain, not he.
Por favor, Mercedes.
Easter is the perfect time for a wedding.
Give me an answer.
I have answered you a hundred times.
I love Admondantes and no other.
Mercedes!
Being a sailor is so dangerous.
What if he should die?
If he is dead, I too.
You shall die.
But if he forgets you
Edmund!
My Amour!
Mercedes!
My love!
Look at the way!
Poor Fernand.
So the wedding is for sure?
As sure as Dantes will be
captain of the pharaoh.
One thing stands between us and
happiness and his name as Edmond Dantes.
What can we do?
We will tell the authorities
That on his last voyage,
Edmond paid a visit
to the island of Elba.
The home of the banished
Emperor Napoleon.
We can say he can sort it with traitors.
He'll be thrown in jail forever.
I will be free to woo, Mercedes.
I'll be captain of the Faron.
I'm so happy. You will be my
wife, and I'll be a captain at 20.
I'm afraid it's too good to be true.
How odd.
What is it, my wife?
What is it, my wife?
Sweet?
Some chill in the air.
D'Mont makes my first stand up.
He gives me the chills.
Hey, wait a minute.
What's this?
Good heavens.
It's too warm just now.
Get a loaded David.
That is literally way cool.
It's awesome.
I'm really impressed, Day.
Thanks. It's my test model.
I want to be able to build
snowman in the summer.
David, you got it to work.
Yeah, I'm really psyched.
Taste that's the real thing.
Well, how does it work?
Well, I got this condenser
out of an old refrigerator.
How ingenious.
Now, the hopper I made
out of an old ice chest.
The one you borrowed for me?
Yeah.
Back to between the water
bottle and the hopper,
I put a needle now to
create a fine water mist.
I'm so sure.
sick of hearing about him.
He's so lame.
You know on Monday, all the
teachers will be talking about
Mr. Perfect over there.
Mr. Science thinks he
can control the weather.
And now that's an idea.
What are you going to do?
Tonight, there's going to be
a blizzard in Wanda's garden.
And who's going to take the blame?
David?
Bingo.
Stay my friend forever.
Okay, DeMont?
What are you talking about?
I just don't want you to be my enemy.
Shut up.
Poor David.
He doesn't suspect a thing!
Neither did Edmond on Tess.
I can't tell you how happy
we are celebrating our
engagement, surrounded by
the people who love us most.
I don't know how I have deserved the
honor of becoming Nessetti's husband.
Will one Monsieur Edmond
Dantes make himself known?
That's me.
I have a warrant for your arrest.
Is this a joke?
There must be a mistake.
What has he done?
I cannot say.
Please surrender
yourself, Monsieur Dantes.
Of course I will.
I'll find out what's happening, Edmond.
Edmond!
Don't worry.
A-vo, miss it is.
At least tell me of what I am accused.
We are forbidden.
But if I could just talk to someone
Silence!
But I'm
I'm getting married.
Tell me. What do you know?
They've sent him to Chateau Diff.
But that is for political prisoners.
This is lunacy. He is innocent.
I know. But they said
that he is a traitor.
That he conspired with Napoleon himself.
Ridiculous. But what proof do they have?
A statement sworn by three witnesses.
But who?
No.
Wait.
Please.
Let me speak to someone in authority.
You're commanding officer.
The warden.
I don't want to make trouble.
But you've got the wrong man.
All right.
You want to play rough?
No more Monsieur nice guy.
Hey! Stop!
Wait!
Don't you know who I am?
I am at Mon Dunpins,
Captain of the Good Ship Ferreau!
You are prisoner number 34.
Mercedes! Mercedes!
Hes!
Hes!
Hemp! Wichbonne, quiet down.
Joe!
Thank goodness you're here!
He's out there, right now.
Look!
You can sleep with me.
No, wait.
You don't understand.
Damant!
It
Okay.
Joe, look!
Ah!
Why doesn't he speak better dog?
Ah!
All right, David.
You love how everyone's
always talking about you.
Let's see how you feel tomorrow.
It's gonna be so, so
Oh, well, don't we look
chipper this morning?
Good morning, beauties.
There you go.
What?
What?
Oh, good.
Oh, I don't believe.
Oh, I don't believe it.
David, I'm very disappointed.
What's wrong?
I know you're excited about
your snow machine, but
Well, my innocence is shattered.
Frostbitten, ruined.
Yet I enjoyed it while it lived.
But I didn't do it.
David, don't make it worse.
I mean, I didn't do it.
Don't worry, David.
Damont can't hide forever.
I'm really sorry you got grounded, David.
Yeah, it's not fair.
Don't waste time talking about it.
I can only see you guys for a minute.
Well, what did you want to talk about?
I think I've been set up.
By whom?
I don't know.
I've been thinking and
thinking and think.
I'm thinking, but I'm stuck.
David, read my lips.
Damanta.
Damanta.
Wait a minute, I don't have lips.
Try to find something out.
Okay, we'll try.
You've got to.
I can't go anywhere for a whole week.
Poor kid.
Lock up in solitary.
Be strong, David.
Edmond Dantes was left to rot in prison.
For 14 years, not know
why he was a prisoner, all
he knew was loneliness.
He was nearly mad.
He stopped eating.
He nearly gave up.
And then
What was that?
Probably a mole.
An awfully large mole.
Oh, who are you?
Abafari.
fellow victim of injustice.
I have spent many years
in this wasteland.
A friend at last. I've been so lonely.
How can you keep sane?
Oh, by memorizing books.
By studying the stars through
the tiny window of myself.
Although lately I've been digging
around looking for escape.
Digging just happens to
be one of my specialties.
You dig some. I'll teach some. I'll teach some.
I've got to help David escape.
If only there was a clue.
Oh, I definitely smell a demand.
All right, Buster.
What are you doing here, Tomont?
Wishbone sit.
No false moves.
I just came to see if Frosty
could make a little snow for me.
Well, he's grounded.
Really? Too bad.
So I started thinking.
DeMont sure seemed
interested in your machine.
That's right. Follow the lead.
And he's always jealous of you.
Omen on the target.
And I saw him creeping around your house.
Bullseye!
I bet it is DeMont.
Oh, I can't believe that
he'd stoop that low.
I never saw it coming.
It was such a dummy.
Don't say that, David.
You don't think like a criminal.
That's good, remember?
Abbe Tharia gave Edmond many lessons,
and the Abbe used his wisdom
to answer Edmond's burning question.
And so they arrested me.
But I never found out who set me up.
You were so innocent then.
What do you mean?
Danglar wanted your job.
Fernand wanted your fiancé.
They must have betrayed you.
Those cowards!
They've stolen my life!
I'm down.
You were ignorant of evil.
I have taught you the ways of the world.
You must focus your anger.
Keep digging.
But we've hit bedrock.
It's too hard.
We'll never get out of here.
Abe?
Abe?
What's wrong?
I can't go on.
My body is too.
You're just tired. Rest.
Give me a lesson while I dig.
Edmond. I'm dying.
Leave me here.
Stop talking like that. You'll be fine.
Oh, listen to me.
Before I was sent to jail,
I inherited an enormous treasure.
I
I
Buried it on the island of Monte Cristo.
Take it, Edmo.
Promise me you will escape this dungeon.
I'll try.
Promise.
I will escape Montpell.
I'll find a way.
I'll find a way.
Edmond Dantes was desperate.
When the Abbe died, Edmond
hid inside the burial cloth.
Is this the one?
Must be.
Let me.
Three.
Come on.
He was rescued by a pirate game and
headed for the Isle of Monte Cristo.
Once on the island, Edmond found
ridges beyond his wildest dreams.
There, he picked up the scent
of his enemies.
I will use every ounce of gold,
all these riches, to seek revenge.
Innocent Edmont Dantes is dead.
From this day forward,
I am the Count of Monte Cristo.
It's payback time.
Let's go.
So, we're going to call
DeMont's parents, right?
Right?
Well, I can't leave
home, but this baby can.
Do you think DeMont will
try to use it again?
I hope so.
You do?
Why?
Because instead of water,
I'm going to fill a tank
with a special kind of food coloring.
Okay.
Time out.
I'm going to plug the nozzle like this.
Oh.
So if anyone tries to use it, they
get dye all over their clothes.
Exactly.
DeMont's going to be a marked man.
David, you are a genius.
Guys, I don't think this is the solution.
I want to set up the trap outside.
This'll be the bait.
Revenge will be so sweet.
That's the wrong lesson, David.
I have got to get a translator.
Edmond had changed so much that in Paris,
no one recognized him as
the Count of Monte Cristo.
He was rich, so no one cared who he was.
He tracked down Fernard.
Hurry, wife.
I won't be late.
for the opera.
Fernand had bought his
way into high society.
But there was something worse.
Not my dear Mercedes.
I paid extra to get seats
with the Duke D'Aulean.
The Duke is so coarse and me.
He's rich.
That's all I need.
That's it, Fanon.
You've stolen everything from me.
It's time the world knew
what a villain you are.
Ali, my private telegraph, please.
Well, I'm ready to spread the news.
Special to Le Mans de Paris,
Fernando de Mosef is a fraud.
His scandalous past is here revealed.
I'm ruined.
Oh, David, you little rat.
I'll get you for this.
Ha-ha, caught red-handed, so to speak.
What's going on?
Ah!
Stay back, Wanda!
David's revenge is out of control!
And getting all over me!
You little rat!
You little rat!
Fernandemosef's son to see you, sir.
I've been expecting this.
You, count!
You have destroyed my father's good name!
He destroyed it himself many years ago.
I will avenge his reputation.
I challenge you to a duel.
To the death.
To the death.
So be it.
Mercedes.
Edmond, Edmond Dantes.
Me? You must be mistaken, Madame.
I know it's you.
I've looked for you all these years.
Stop!
It's too late.
For us, yes.
This is not the life I dreamed of either.
But Edmond, is your thirst for revenge
so great that you would destroy me too?
Your husband stole my life.
I won't let your son steal my pride.
For your pride,
you would kill the one
thing that I love most.
No, I could never hurt you, Mercedes.
I can't change the past, and
I won't hurt the innocent.
Thank you.
So much for revenge.
Joe, how's Wishbone doing?
Not so good.
He's been hiding a lot.
We tried washing him, but
all the dye won't come out.
I look like cotton candy
with four legs and a tail!
So much for revenge.
And I owe you an apology, David.
I'm really sorry.
That's okay.
What about DeMont?
I talked to his parents.
I've got a full-time
weed puller for a month.
I meant to bust DeMont.
Never meant to cream Wishbone.
He's innocent.
I brought this to apologize to him.
Come on, boy.
This is so embarrassing.
Hmm.
This looks interesting.
Each time me to press this
little lever with your paw.
Surprise. Get a treat.
Hey, what do you know?
A kid might be onto something.
Nice colors.
Let's see, now you push this
down and you get a treat!
Ooh!
Hey, great.
You know, treatment like this,
pretty soon I'll be in the pink
Oh, that was a pun, wasn't it?
Oh, well, let's see ya.
Ooh!
Hey, I'm getting good at this.
Um, David.
Does this thing come with free refills?
Buddy?
Ready?
Dantes passed through the air
like a wounded bird falling.
At last there came a terrific splash
as he dropped into the icy cold water.
What if we didn't hear this sound
described in the Count of Monte Cristo?
Rather lifeless, don't you think?
To make this scene more
realistic, we need sound effects.
What about the sound of the
seagulls and this harbor scene?
With the wrong sound effect,
the scene just won't work.
That's it! That's not
the right sound effect!
A TV show can make a big
splash with sound effects,
dive into a book yourself, and
imagine your own sound effects.
Books like the Count of Money Cristo
are available at your local library.
Check them out!
What's this your dreaming of?
Such big imagination
on such a little pub.
What's the story, Wishbone?
Do you think it's worth a look?
It kind of seems familiar
like a story from a book.
Shake a leg now, Wishbone.
Let's wag another take.
Sniffing out adventure with
Wishphone on the trail.
Come on Wishphone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
I should have any old bones in here?
I was saving this spot
for my squeaky book.
For once, I like having
Wishbone to dig up my garden.
Wanda?
Wanda.
Try it the best. Who needs the rest?
I knew you'd come around.
Spring is the perfect time
to make a new beginning.
Yeah, just don't get
all mushy on me, okay?
Gotta do my job.
You know, the soil's a little hard.
Oh, I know, but for these beauties,
you have to wait until you're
sure the weather will stay warm.
One chill and they're doomed.
Well, it's really up to the fates now.
Yeah, and as fate would have
it, I'm ready for another one.
Wanda.
Well, I see Wishbone's ready for another.
Hey, what's the hold-up?
Come on, Sam.
D.
This time, rub your nose in it.
Excuse me.
Get a load of farmer, Sam.
Are you weird Wanda's new field hand?
DeMont, you need help.
Do you see what I'm doing?
It's called being a friend.
You know, you should try it sometimes.
I'm not that desperate.
Dumbat.
He just doesn't like
to see anybody happy.
You know, folks like that
can make nice people turn me.
That's what happens to Edmond Dantes,
the hero of the Count of Monte
Cristo, by Alexander Dumas.
He's the same guy who brought
you the Three Musketeers.
Innocent, happy Edmond Dantes was a sailor
living in Marseille, France in 1815.
He was as faithful and
obedient as, well, a dog.
Monsieur Morelle, I've brought
your ship and cargo back safely.
You heard of our misfortune.
Yes, it's terrible.
Captain LeClair fell ill and died.
We shall honor his memory.
Oh, excuse me for him.

it to half-mast. Slope the yards!
Mr. Monsieur, I have
the ship's accounts. Ah,
Denglard. Good to see you.
We'll review them first
thing in the morning.
He's done a good job
taking over and bringing
the ship back home
after the accident, eh? I suppose. He's

But he knows the sea.
And I'm told that the crew
all love him. Is that true?
If you say so, sir.
It must be.
Sorry about the interruption.
Oh, hello, Dunglass.
Please excuse me.
And now that the ship's in harbor,
sir, may I be permitted to
I know. You need time to
marry your enchanting fiancée.
Yes, sir!
Yes, sir!
Hurry home! The Fereon cannot
sail without her new captain.
New captain? You mean me?
Thank you, Monsieur Morel. I'm honored!
I know. You would rather hold
another hand. Off with you!
He leaves Port a common sailor.
He leaves Port a common
sailor and returns a hero.
No, Catarousse. I should
be the new captain, not he.
Por favor, Mercedes.
Easter is the perfect time for a wedding.
Give me an answer.
I have answered you a hundred times.
I love Admondantes and no other.
Mercedes!
Being a sailor is so dangerous.
What if he should die?
If he is dead, I too.
You shall die.
But if he forgets you
Edmund!
My Amour!
Mercedes!
My love!
Look at the way!
Poor Fernand.
So the wedding is for sure?
As sure as Dantes will be
captain of the pharaoh.
One thing stands between us and
happiness and his name as Edmond Dantes.
What can we do?
We will tell the authorities
That on his last voyage,
Edmond paid a visit
to the island of Elba.
The home of the banished
Emperor Napoleon.
We can say he can sort it with traitors.
He'll be thrown in jail forever.
I will be free to woo, Mercedes.
I'll be captain of the Faron.
I'm so happy. You will be my
wife, and I'll be a captain at 20.
I'm afraid it's too good to be true.
How odd.
What is it, my wife?
What is it, my wife?
Sweet?
Some chill in the air.
D'Mont makes my first stand up.
He gives me the chills.
Hey, wait a minute.
What's this?
Good heavens.
It's too warm just now.
Get a loaded David.
That is literally way cool.
It's awesome.
I'm really impressed, Day.
Thanks. It's my test model.
I want to be able to build

David, you got it to work.
Yeah, I'm really psyched.
Taste that's the real thing.
Well, how does it work?
Well, I got this condenser
out of an old refrigerator.
How ingenious.
Now, the hopper I made
out of an old ice chest.
The one you borrowed for me?
Yeah.
Back to between the water
bottle and the hopper,
I put a needle now to
create a fine water mist.
I'm so sure.

He's so lame.

What are you going to do?
Tonight, there's going to be

And who's going to take the blame?
David?
Bingo.
Stay my friend forever.
Okay, DeMont?
What are you talking about?
I just don't want you to be my enemy.
Shut up.
Poor David.
He doesn't suspect a thing!
Neither did Edmond on Tess.
I can't tell you how happy
we are celebrating our
engagement, surrounded by
the people who love us most.
I don't know how I have deserved the
honor of becoming Nessetti's husband.
Will one Monsieur Edmond
Dantes make himself known?
That's me.
I have a warrant for your arrest.
Is this a joke?
There must be a mistake.
What has he done?
I cannot say.
Please surrender
yourself, Monsieur Dantes.
Of course I will.
I'll find out what's happening, Edmond.
Edmond!
Don't worry.
A-vo, miss it is.
At least tell me of what I am accused.
We are forbidden.
But if I could just talk to someone

I'm getting married.

That he conspired with Napoleon himself.
Ridiculous. But what proof do they have?
A statement sworn by three witnesses.
But who?
No.
Wait.
Please.
Let me speak to someone in authority.
You're commanding officer.
The warden.
I don't want to make trouble.
But you've got the wrong man.
All right.
You want to play rough?
No more Monsieur nice guy.
Hey! Stop!
Wait!
Don't you know who I am?
I am at Mon Dunpins,
Captain of the Good Ship Ferreau!
You are prisoner number 34.
Mercedes! Mercedes!
Hes!
Hes!
Hemp! Wichbonne, quiet down.
Joe!
Thank goodness you're here!
He's out there, right now.
Look!
You can sleep with me.
No, wait.
You don't understand.
Damant!
It
Okay.
Joe, look!
Ah!
Why doesn't he speak better dog?
Ah!
All right, David.
You love how everyone's
always talking about you.
Let's see how you feel tomorrow.
It's gonna be so, so
Oh, well, don't we look
chipper this morning?
Good morning, beauties.
There you go.
What?
What?
Oh, good.
Oh, I don't believe.
Oh, I don't believe it.
David, I'm very disappointed.
What's wrong?
I know you're excited about
your snow machine, but
Well, my innocence is shattered.
Frostbitten, ruined.
Yet I enjoyed it while it lived.
But I didn't do it.
David, don't make it worse.
I mean, I didn't do it.
Don't worry, David.
Damont can't hide forever.
I'm really sorry you got grounded, David.
Yeah, it's not fair.
Don't waste time talking about it.
I can only see you guys for a minute.
Well, what did you want to talk about?
I think I've been set up.
By whom?
I don't know.
I've been thinking and
thinking and think.
I'm thinking, but I'm stuck.
David, read my lips.
Damanta.
Damanta.
Wait a minute, I don't have lips.
Try to find something out.
Okay, we'll try.
You've got to.
I can't go anywhere for a whole week.
Poor kid.
Lock up in solitary.
Be strong, David.
Edmond Dantes was left to rot in prison.
For 14 years, not know
why he was a prisoner, all
he knew was loneliness.
He was nearly mad.
He stopped eating.
He nearly gave up.
And then
What was that?
Probably a mole.
An awfully large mole.
Oh, who are you?

A friend at last. I've been so lonely.
How can you keep sane?
Oh, by memorizing books.
By studying the stars through

Although lately I've been digging
around looking for escape.
Digging just happens to

You dig some. I'll teach some. I'll teach some.
I've got to help David escape.
If only there was a clue.
Oh, I definitely smell a demand.
All right, Buster.
What are you doing here, Tomont?
Wishbone sit.
No false moves.
I just came to see if Frosty
could make a little snow for me.
Well, he's grounded.
Really? Too bad.
So I started thinking.
DeMont sure seemed
interested in your machine.
That's right. Follow the lead.
And he's always jealous of you.
Omen on the target.
And I saw him creeping around your house.
Bullseye!
I bet it is DeMont.
Oh, I can't believe that
he'd stoop that low.
I never saw it coming.
It was such a dummy.
Don't say that, David.
You don't think like a criminal.
That's good, remember?
Abbe Tharia gave Edmond many lessons,
and the Abbe used his wisdom
to answer Edmond's burning question.
And so they arrested me.
But I never found out who set me up.
You were so innocent then.
What do you mean?
Danglar wanted your job.
Fernand wanted your fiancé.
They must have betrayed you.
Those cowards!
They've stolen my life!
I'm down.
You were ignorant of evil.
I have taught you the ways of the world.
You must focus your anger.
Keep digging.
But we've hit bedrock.
It's too hard.
We'll never get out of here.
Abe?
Abe?
What's wrong?
I can't go on.
My body is too.
You're just tired. Rest.
Give me a lesson while I dig.
Edmond. I'm dying.
Leave me here.
Stop talking like that. You'll be fine.
Oh, listen to me.
Before I was sent to jail,
I inherited an enormous treasure.
I
I
Buried it on the island of Monte Cristo.
Take it, Edmo.
Promise me you will escape this dungeon.
I'll try.
Promise.
I will escape Montpell.
I'll find a way.
I'll find a way.
Edmond Dantes was desperate.
When the Abbe died, Edmond
hid inside the burial cloth.
Is this the one?
Must be.
Let me.
Three.
Come on.
He was rescued by a pirate game and
headed for the Isle of Monte Cristo.
Once on the island, Edmond found
ridges beyond his wildest dreams.
There, he picked up the scent
of his enemies.
I will use every ounce of gold,
all these riches, to seek revenge.
Innocent Edmont Dantes is dead.
From this day forward,
I am the Count of Monte Cristo.
It's payback time.
Let's go.
So, we're going to call
DeMont's parents, right?
Right?
Well, I can't leave
home, but this baby can.
Do you think DeMont will
try to use it again?
I hope so.
You do?
Why?
Because instead of water,
I'm going to fill a tank
with a special kind of food coloring.
Okay.
Time out.
I'm going to plug the nozzle like this.
Oh.
So if anyone tries to use it, they
get dye all over their clothes.
Exactly.
DeMont's going to be a marked man.
David, you are a genius.
Guys, I don't think this is the solution.
I want to set up the trap outside.
This'll be the bait.
Revenge will be so sweet.
That's the wrong lesson, David.
I have got to get a translator.
Edmond had changed so much that in Paris,
no one recognized him as
the Count of Monte Cristo.
He was rich, so no one cared who he was.
He tracked down Fernard.
Hurry, wife.
I won't be late.
for the opera.
Fernand had bought his
way into high society.
But there was something worse.
Not my dear Mercedes.
I paid extra to get seats
with the Duke D'Aulean.
The Duke is so coarse and me.
He's rich.
That's all I need.
That's it, Fanon.
You've stolen everything from me.
It's time the world knew
what a villain you are.
Ali, my private telegraph, please.
Well, I'm ready to spread the news.
Special to Le Mans de Paris,
Fernando de Mosef is a fraud.
His scandalous past is here revealed.
I'm ruined.
Oh, David, you little rat.
I'll get you for this.
Ha-ha, caught red-handed, so to speak.
What's going on?
Ah!
Stay back, Wanda!
David's revenge is out of control!
And getting all over me!
You little rat!
You little rat!
Fernandemosef's son to see you, sir.
I've been expecting this.
You, count!
You have destroyed my father's good name!
He destroyed it himself many years ago.
I will avenge his reputation.
I challenge you to a duel.
To the death.
To the death.
So be it.
Mercedes.
Edmond, Edmond Dantes.
Me? You must be mistaken, Madame.
I know it's you.
I've looked for you all these years.
Stop!
It's too late.
For us, yes.
This is not the life I dreamed of either.
But Edmond, is your thirst for revenge
so great that you would destroy me too?
Your husband stole my life.
I won't let your son steal my pride.
For your pride,
you would kill the one
thing that I love most.
No, I could never hurt you, Mercedes.
I can't change the past, and
I won't hurt the innocent.
Thank you.
So much for revenge.
Joe, how's Wishbone doing?
Not so good.
He's been hiding a lot.
We tried washing him, but
all the dye won't come out.
I look like cotton candy
with four legs and a tail!
So much for revenge.
And I owe you an apology, David.
I'm really sorry.
That's okay.
What about DeMont?
I talked to his parents.
I've got a full-time
weed puller for a month.
I meant to bust DeMont.
Never meant to cream Wishbone.
He's innocent.
I brought this to apologize to him.
Come on, boy.
This is so embarrassing.
Hmm.
This looks interesting.
Each time me to press this
little lever with your paw.
Surprise. Get a treat.
Hey, what do you know?
A kid might be onto something.
Nice colors.
Let's see, now you push this
down and you get a treat!
Ooh!
Hey, great.
You know, treatment like this,
pretty soon I'll be in the pink
Oh, that was a pun, wasn't it?
Oh, well, let's see ya.
Ooh!
Hey, I'm getting good at this.
Um, David.
Does this thing come with free refills?
Buddy?
Ready?
Dantes passed through the air
like a wounded bird falling.
At last there came a terrific splash
as he dropped into the icy cold water.
What if we didn't hear this sound
described in the Count of Monte Cristo?
Rather lifeless, don't you think?
To make this scene more
realistic, we need sound effects.
What about the sound of the
seagulls and this harbor scene?
With the wrong sound effect,
the scene just won't work.
That's it! That's not
the right sound effect!
A TV show can make a big
splash with sound effects,
dive into a book yourself, and
imagine your own sound effects.
Books like the Count of Money Cristo
are available at your local library.
