Gremlins Page #3

It's a puppy, isn't it?

Yeah, I can tell.

It's a new car.

- Honey, would you dim the lights?

- Sure.

Dim the lights?

Does it glow in the dark?

It's important. Trust me.

Go ahead, open it.

What is it?

It's your new pet.

Come on, Barney.

Be a good dog.

You're kidding.

Dad, it's really neat.

Where'd you get this?

Some little junk store in Chinatown.

Can I pick him up?

Sure, go ahead. Just be careful.

- You gotta be gentle.

- I will.

I hope he's housebroken.

Isn't he cute?

Has it got a name?

Mogwai.

Some Chinese word.

I just call him...

...Gizmo.

He seems to like it.

Look up here a minute.

We're getting our picture taken.

Smile.

Ready?

One, two, three....

Bright light!

What happened?

He hates bright lights.

There's some important things

I forgot to tell you.

Number one, he hates bright lights.

You gotta keep him out of the sunlight.

Sunlight will kill him.

Number two, keep him

away from water.

Don't give him any water to drink.

Whatever you do, don't give him a bath.

And the most important thing...

...don't ever feed him

after midnight.

Looks like you hurt yourself.

Light bright! Light bright!

Just sit down there

and don't fall off, okay?

I'll get you fixed up in no time.

All right.

Hold still.

Sorry. Sorry.

Try not to move so much, okay?

Good night, Giz.

I'll see you in the morning.

I got a tree!

Oh, Christ!

Billy!

I just brought in

your Christmas tree.

What happened?

Slight problem

with the Peltzer Peeler-Juicer.

I thought your dad fixed it.

I thought so too.

You should just buy orange juice

in cartons. It's a lot easier.

See, it works.

- I had to come.

- So I see.

Now I can see. It takes...

...a certain kind of guy.

And that guy needs

a certain kind of dame.

It's no problem, Pete.

Leave it up here.

What'll you tell him?

I'll just tell him a bunch of bikers

stole it from me on my way home.

Wow! The Hooded Menace.

Issue number one!

Pretty neat, huh?

Where'd you get it?

Dr. Fantasy's, I think.

What's that?

Come here. I'll show you.

This is my new pet.

My dad gave him to me.

Neat! What's his name?

His name's Gizmo. Hi, Giz.

He's a mogwai.

Cute!

Blink your eyes.

Go like that.

Can you do that?

Watch. Maybe he'll sing.

Come on, Giz.

Let's go over to the table.

I'll be careful.

There we go.

Gee, Billy, where

can I get one of those?

I don't know.

This is the only one I've ever seen.

Can I hold him?

Sure. I don't see why not.

He seems to like you.

Great! Thanks a lot.

Sorry.

What was in that jar?

Nothing! Just water!

Why is he making that noise?

What is it?

I don't know.

Is it alive?

I don't know.

One, two, three,
