Editing Ash's Adventures of The Rescuers/Transcript (section)

===Morningside Orphanage/Rufus gives information about Penny/Medusa's Pawn Shop===
(The scene changes to a rainy night where the heroes among with Bernard and Bianca come out of the bus.)

Bernard: (reading the map) "Morning Side Orphanage." Here-here it is. Three blocks and-and uh, four blocks over.

Bianca: Well, why don't we take the shortcut through the zoo?

Bernard: Yeah, gee, Miss Bianca, I don't know. I mean it could be risky.

Bianca: Oh, come on, remember our pledge? Through storm and rain and dark of night.

Bernard: Never failed to do what's right. All right, duty calls.

Ash Ketchum: Well, Bernard, like I always say "Don't give up until it's over."

Pikachu: Pika.

Bernard: Ash, that's very noble of you to say that.

(Bernard whistles as he goes along with Bianca and the heroes. Then Bernard starts to feel nervous.)

Misty: I really don't think it's such a great idea.

Bianca: Misty's right, Mr. Bernard, maybe we better go back.

Shaggy: Like, yeah, it's so dark in there.

Scooby-Doo: Uh-huh.

Scrappy-Doo: Dark? I'm not afraid of the dark.

Bernard: Who's afraid of the dark? Look, you, uh, y-you stay here, I'll check it out.

Ash Ketchum: Uh, I don't know about that, Bernard. You and Bianca can go in, but the rest of us can't.

Bernard: And why not?

Velma Dinkley: Because the sign on the gate says that it's closed. (points to the closed sign) See?

Fred Jones: And entering the zoo when it's not open would mean trespassing in the middle of the night.

Bernard: Well, then, leave it to me, kids.

(Bernard walks into the zoo as Bianca and the heroes look on with worry. Just, then, a lion's angry growl was heard and Bernard runs out screaming with fright.)

Shaggy: Zoinks! What was that?!

Ash Ketchum: I think it's an angry lion! So, we'd better get out of here!

Bianca: Wait for me!

(Bianca and Bernard run away from the zoo coming back to the heroes.)

Bernard: How about trying the three blocks down and four blocks over.

Bianca: What did you do to make him so mad?

Bernard: Nothing, he's just a grumpy old lion.

Bianca: Well, after all waking him in the middle of the night. Wouldn't you be grumpy too?

Daffy Duck: I would occasionally.

(Bernard, Bianca and the heroes continue on.)

Bernard: I didn't wake him up in the middle of night.

(The scene changes to Morningside Orphanage. Ash and the gang enter the front door while Bernard and Bianca quietly enter through the window.)

Bernard: All right. I'll take a look around, see what I can find. (Bernard walks to Penny's box then he turns Bianca and the others.) Psst! Psst! (Bianca, Ash get Bernard's attention) Psst! Guys, over here. I found something.

Ash Ketchum: What is it, Bernard?

Bernard: These are Penny's belongings

Ash Ketchum: Good work, Bernard.

Bianca: Now we're getting somewhere. (she and Bernard jump into the box; Ash and the gang look into the box) Oh, look! The little girl's treasures.

(An elderly cat named Rufus wakes up to hear what's going on. A woman who is taking care of the children also hears what's going on.)

Bernard: Boy, the things kids collect.

Bianca: Do you think she could be still here in the orphanage?

Misty: I don't think so.

Bernard: Misty's right, she can't be. It says on the box, "Hold until further notice."

Bianca: Well, maybe she's been adopted.

Bernard: No, because she would have taken these things with her. 

Rufus: (surprised upon seeing Bernard and Bianca) Mice?

Bernard and Bianca: (scared) Cat! (jumping into the shoe)

Rufus: Now look here, you two. If folks find out that mice moved in here, I'll get kicked out, lose my job. (to Ash and his friends) What's a bunch of nice children like you doing in the orphanage.

Ash Ketchum: Oh, we're not here to move in, sir.

Misty: We're sorry for intruding, sir.

Rufus: (kindly) There's no need to apologize, young miss.

Brock: We're just here to investigate.

Rufus: Investigate, you say?

Ash Ketchum: Yes for the disappearance of Penny.

Rufus: Oh, I see. (surprised) Did you say "Penny?"

Ash Ketchum: Yeah, do you know her?

Rufus: Oh, yes, I do, son. My name is Rufus.

Ash Ketchum: I'm Ash Ketchum and this is my partner Pikachu.

Pikachu: Pikachu.

Ash Ketchum: And these are my friends.

Ash's friends: Hello.

Rufus: Well, pleased to meet you, Ash and you too, children.

Brock and Misty: Likewise, Rufus.

Bianca; (coming out of the box with Bernard) Oh, don't worry, Mr. Cat. We won't be here long.

Rufus: (sighs in relief and stretches) I am a mite too old to be chasing mice.

Bernard: Uh, sir could you tell us what happened to a little girl named Penny.

Rufus: I sure can. But you ain't gonna find her around here.

Ash Ketchum: Why not?

Rufus: Well, you see, son, poor little thing ran away.

Heroes: Ooh.

Pikachu: Pika.

Bernard: When... when was the last time you saw Penny?

Bianca: Was there anything unusual? Try to remember.

Rufus: Let's see now, now. The last time I saw her. (the scene flashes back when Penny was sitting on her bed sadly as Rufus approaches her) (voiceover) She was sitting over there on her bed all alone. She looked awful sad. So I asked her. (concerned) What's wrong, Penny, honey?

Penny: (sadly) Nothing.

(Rufus jumps onto Penny's bed.)

Rufus: Aww, come on now. Come on. No secrets. (rubs his head against Penny, comforting her) You tell old Rufus, huh?

Penny: Well, it was adoption day at the orphanage.

Rufus: What...what happened?

Penny: A man and a lady came, and looked at me. (sheds a tear) but they choosed a little redheaded girl. (Rufus felt sad upon hearing this) She was prettier than me.

Rufus: Aww. (mumbling) She couldn't be! You listen to me, darling. You're something extra special.

Penny: (gets off her bed) No, I'm not.

Rufus: Why, someday a mama and papa will come to the orphanage (climbs up the chair to the window) looking for a pretty little girl just like you.

Penny: Honest?

Rufus: I'll bet my whiskers on it. But you've got to believe it. Keep the faith, sweetheart. (he and Penny look at the bluebird out the window) Do you see that bluebird?

Penny: Yes, I do.

Rufus: Well, faith is a bluebird you see from afar. It's for real and as sure as the first evening star. You can't touch it or buy it or wrap it up tight, but it's there just the same, making things turn out right.

Penny: Can't touch it or buy it or wrap it up tight, but it's there just the same, making things turn out right. (smiling, while holding her teddy bear) But whoever adopts me has to adopt Teddy, too. (shows her teddy bear to Rufus)

Rufus: Oh, they'll love him! (jokingly) He doesn't eat much, does he?

Penny: (giggles) Oh, here I brought you something. (pulls gingersnaps from her dress pocket and gives them to Rufus)

Rufus: (Takes the gingersnaps and licks it) Grand notion! Catnip snaps.

Penny: No, they're ginger snaps! (Giggling)

Rufus: (chuckling, while coming down from the window) Well, an old codger like me could use a little ginger. (jumps off the chair, then climbs onto the bed)

Penny: I take two extra ones for lunch today. (Whispering) We're not supposed to do that.

Rufus: Well, you can trust me. I won't tattletale on you.

Penny: (hugging Rufus) I love you, Rufus. (Rufus purrs affectionately) Gee, we better hurry or we'll be late for supper!

(Penny carries Rufus with her as she leaves the room.)

Shaggy:(voiceover) Like, that was beautiful.

Scooby-Doo:(voiceover) Yeah, beautiful.

Misty: (voiceover) Aww, that was really sweet.

Rufus:(voiceover) Indeed miss. (the scene flashes back to the present) She seemed happy enough but the next thing I heard, Penny was gone.

Bernard: Well, aren't the police still looking for her?

Ash Ketchum: Yeah, have the police found her?

Rufus: No. No, no. No, they gave up weeks ago.

Brock: (sighs in disappointment) How could Officer Jenny give up the search?!

Misty: Maybe they were too baffled by the whole case, Brock.

Rufus: Officer Jenny? Who's she?

Ash Ketchum: Officer Jenny is our friend.

Bianca: Oh, this is terrible. That poor little girl.

Bernard: I just can't believe that Penny would run away. Mr. Rufus, please think. Now there must be something.

Rufus: Well, come to think of it, there was. (shakes his head) No. it's nothing. Penny wouldn't get in with her.

Bernard: Get in with what? With who?

Rufus: Uh, oh. A weird lady tried to give Penny a ride, but she wouldn't have anything to do with trashy people like them.

Ash Ketchum: A weird lady?

Bianca: Trashy people? Who?

Misty: Do you know where they are?

Rufus: Well, she and her partner run a sleazy pawn shop down the street.

Brock: A pawn shop?

Bernard: Guys, we must go down there and investigate.

(Bernard, Bianca, Ash and friends are ready to leave.)

Rufus: Suit yourself, but you'd be wasting your time going down there.

Bernard: She could be in real trouble. We gotta find her and help her.

Rufus: (laughing) Yeah, (confused) but two little mice. What can you do?

Ash Ketchum: They may be little mice Rufus, but they're rescuers and as for us we're rescuers too.

Misty: We're Pokémon trainers.

Fred Jones; We're the Mystery Inc.

Bugs Bunny: And we're the Looney Tunes

Rufus: Oh, I see

Brock: Yes sir, we are.

Ash Ketchum: Anyway, we must be on our way to rescue Penny from two trashy people, and we'll bring her back safe and sound.

Rufus: (smiling kindly) Good luck, son and be careful, children.

Ash Ketchum:(shakes Rufus's paw) Thank you, Rufus. Come on, guys, time to go. (Ash and his friends leave)

(The scene fades to black. The scene changes to Madame Medusa's Pawn shop.)

Shaggy Rogers: Oh, no. It's closed.

Fred Jones: We're not preschoolers, Shaggy. We can read.

Daphne Blake: Guess we'll have to go around the back.

Velma Dinkley: Bernard and Bianca, you sneak in the front. We'll sneak in the back.

Bernard: Got it. (he and Bianca go in through the front door)

Ash Ketchum: Let's go, guys.

(The heroes go around the back lot where they find the back door slightly opened.)

Misty: Guess she left the back door open. Come on.

(They all enter into the pawn shop office.)

Brock: This must be her office.

Daffy Duck: Well, this is...quaint.

Bugs Bunny: Daffy...

Ash Ketchum: Now, if I were a trashy, pawn shop owner, where would I keep evidence of a kidnapped orphan girl?

(Bernard, Bianca and the heroes look around the pawn shop for clues.)

Fred Jones: (sees a pile of overdue bills on her desk) When was the last time she paid her bills?

(They keep looking around for a little while until Daphne sees a first-grade book.)

Daphne: Hey, check this out. It's a first-grade beginner's book. (opens the book) And it's Penny's, too.

Bernard: Then...Then she's gotta be here.

Brock: That's so weird.

Misty: Why would Medusa keep Penny's first-grade reading book in her office?

Velma Dinkley: I don't know, Misty. This is really strange.

(The cuckoo clock goes off startling Bernard and Bianca. Bernard tripped and the book closed on Bernard's tail. Bianca laughs in amusement. Some of our heroes just roll their eyes in amusement. For they too find it funny as well.)

Bernard: What's so funny?

Bianca: Your tail. (laughs) Here, here. Let me help you fix it. (fIxes Bernard's tail)

(Suddenly the phone rings which startled Bernard, Bianca, Ash and friends.)

Ash Ketchum: (yelps in startling surprise) Guys, the phone's ringing!

Velma Dinkley: (peaks through the door upon hearing footsteps; gasps) And someone's coming!

Brock: Everyone hide! Quickly!

(Everyone quickly hides in different parts of the office just as an annoyed woman marches in.)

Madame Medusa: (scoffs) Who could be ringing at this time of night? (Answers the phone) Madame Medusa's Pawn Shop Boutique.

Mr. Snoops: (over phone) Hello, boss.

Madame Medusa: (gasps excitedly) Snoops! Don't tell me, Snoops. Let me guess. You found it! (laughing) You've found the diamond! (Snoops speaks indistinctly through the phone) (getting angry) Give you time? You bungler! (Bernard, Bianca, Ash and friends quietly listen as they hide from her) You have been down there for three months. (Snoops continues speaking over the phone) (firmly) Bottles? What bottles? (furiously) You caught Penny sending messages in bottles!?  You blundering fool! (some of our heroes wince while others cover their ears) Can't you control a little girl? (Bangs her fist on her desk) Shut up! I am taking the next flight down to Devil's Bayou. (slams the phone down and then she brings out her suitcase before going to get her belongings)

(With the coast clear for a brief moment, our heroes peak out from their hiding places.)

Bugs Bunny: Eesh! What's her deal?!

Ash Ketchum: I don't know, but I really don't like this lady at all.

Misty: Me neither, she creeps me out.

Brock: But what is she talking about a diamond? Is it something that is rare?

Fred Jones: I really don't know, Brock.

Bianca: This is terrible. We've got to go with her.

Ash Ketchum: I have an idea. Bernard, you and Bianca go with her in the suitcase. We'll take the Mystery Inc. van and follow her to the airport.

Bernard: Good idea, Ash. (to Bianca) Come on, Bianca. Let's get in the suitcase.

Ash Ketchum: (to his friends) Guys, we better get out of here before she comes back.

Brock: Good idea.

Daphne Blake: Everyone to the van. Quickly!

(Ash and the gang immediately come out of their hiding places, quickly leave Medusa's office, and make haste to the Mystery Machine.)

Bugs Bunny: Daffy, what are you doing?!

Daffy Duck: (covered with jewels and pretty clothes) Accessorizing myself?

Bugs Bunny: (groans in frustration and grabs Daffy) Come on, you crazy duck! Quit fooling around! We've got work to do!

Daffy Duck: (gets pulled out of the store, making him drop the clothes and jewelry) Ahh!! Alright, alright! I'm going! I'm going!

(Medusa brings all of her clothes and starts putting them in her suitcase. She mutters as she stuffed her suitcase.)

Medusa: They foul up everything. Leave them for a few weeks and... (scoffs and puts her coat on) 

(Bianca takes Bernard's hand. Medusa struggles to close the suitcase.)

Medusa: (annoyed) Why won't that stupid thing close?!

(Medusa used her rear end sitting on her suitcase. Bianca holds onto the belt as Medusa carries her suitcase heading for her car. Bianca falls down and comes into Medusa's car. Medusa starts her car and drives recklessly.)

Ash Ketchum: There she goes, guys!

Misty: Let's follow her!

Brock: Now, Fred! Floor it!

(Fred floors the accelerator and drives faster to follow Madame Medusa. Bianca opens the suitcase struggling to get in with Bernard. Medusa almost hits another driver, honking her horn.)

Madame Medusa: (yelling to the driver) Out of my way, you road hog!

Daffy Duck: (annoyed) Didn't anyone teach that lady how to drive?!

Daphne: Such reckless driving!

Scrappy-Doo: Yeah, that crazy woman is such a reckless driver!

(Medusa falls into the ditch, she continues driving. Her suitcase falls out of the car. Medusa drives away so fast as Bernard and Bianca watch. Fred stops the van then everybody comes out.)

Brock: Are you both okay?

Bianca: Yes. Any luck, children?

Ash Ketchum: No, Miss Bianca. Medusa drove so fast; we couldn't catch up to her.

Bianca: Hmmm, I guess we'll have to take the flight ourselves.

(The camera fade to black.)
