Attack of the Puppet People Page #5

Synopsis: Deranged doll-maker Mr. Franz is deathly afraid of being left alone, so he creates a machine that can shrink humans down to only a few inches tall. He soon accumulates a troupe of shrunken prisoners whom he forces to perform for him and keep him company. When he shrinks his secretary Sally and her fiance Bob, the pair decide against spending their days as pint-sized playthings and try to find a way to escape and re-enlarge themselves.

DO SOMETHING THEN?

THAT ALL DEPENDS.

WHO WERE THEY?

JANET HALL.

ANYONE ELSE?

A MAILMANNAMED ERNIE.

ERNIE LARSON.

GO ON.

ISN'T THAT ENOUGH?

I GUESS IT IS.

OKAY. LET'S GO SEE

THIS MR. FRANZ.

HE'S TAKEN BOB DOWN.

HE MUST HAVE:

HIM INSIDE.

[Sergeant]

IS THIS THE MAN?

[Sally]

YES.

THE LADY SAYS YOU'VE

BEEN MAKING PEOPLE

DISAPPEAR MYSTERIOUSLY.

[Sergeant] TURNING

THEM INTO DOLLS.

WHY, MISS REYNOLDS,

WHAT MADE YOU SAY

SUCH A THING?

[Franz] THAT'S

PERFECTLY RIDICULOUS.

[Sergeant]

IS THAT WESTLEY?

[Sergeant] HOW COME

IT LOOKS JUST LIKE

HER BOYFRIEND?

I MODEL ALL MY DOLLS AFTER

PEOPLE I KNOW AND LIKE.

PEOPLE I LIKE:

TO HAVE NEAR ME.

[Franz] THERE'S NOTHING WRONG

WITH THAT, IS THERE?

[Sergeant] MAY ISEE IT, PLEASE?

[Franz] CERTAINLY.

IT'S LIFELIKE,

ALL RIGHT.

[Franz]

I SHOULD HOPE SO.

BUT I ASSURE YOU,

IT'S ONLY A DOLL.

WATCH.

[Franz] WHAT DID

YOU EXPECT, DEAR?

THEY'RE ONLY MADE

OF PLASTIC.

YOU SEE, HERE'S A WHOLE

CASE FULL OF THEM.

LOOKS LIKE YOUR:

BOYFRIEND KIND OF TOOK A

POWDER, DOESN'T IT?

OKAY. I'LL PUT THROUGH

A TRACER ON HIM, ANYWAY.

BE SEEING YOU.

FEEL FREE TO DROP IN

ANYTIME, SERGEANT.

[Sergeant]

THANK YOU.

YOU WEREN'T THINKING

OF GOING TOO,

WERE YOU, DEAR?

OF COURSE.

PLEASE, DON'T.

IT WOULD MAKE:

ME SO UNHAPPY.

DO YOU REALLY EXPECT

ME TO WORK FOR YOU

AFTER ALL THIS?

I THINK OF YOUR:

PRETTY EYES AND:

YOUR LOVELY VOICE,

AND THE BEAUTIFUL

FLOWERS ON YOUR DESK,

AND I ASK MYSELF,

HOW COULD I EVER

BEAR TO LET YOU GO?

BUT IT'S

IMPOSSIBLE.

NOW WHY DO YOU:

SAY THAT, MY DEAR?

BECAUSE I CAN'T

STAND BEING IN THIS

PLACE ANOTHER MINUTE.

IT'S LOCKED.

OPEN THE DOOR.

IT'S LOCKED. NO, NO!

[Intense, high-pitched drone]

[Franz] BE CAREFUL,

MY DEAR.

YOU AREN'T AFRAID

OF ME, ARE YOU?

WHY, I'M YOUR FRIEND.

[Franz] YOU MUSTN'T FEEL

BAD, MISS REYNOLDS.

IT'S TIME FOR

YOU TO PUT ON:

YOUR NEW CLOTHES.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MEET

YOUR FIANCE DRESSED IN

NOTHING BUT A NAPKIN,

DO YOU?

[Franz] HERE

THEY ARE.

FIRST YOUR TOILET ARTICLES.

[Franz] AND YOUR

STOCKINGS.

AND THE DRESS.

IT'S VERY PRETTY. YOU REMEMBER

YOU SELECTED THIS YOURSELF?

[Franz] YOU WANT TO

MAKE YOURSELF LOOK

NICE, I'M SURE.

YOU'RE GOING TO MEET

BOB. SHALL I HELP YOU?

THAT'S BETTER.

HE'S ONLY ASLEEP,

MISS REYNOLDS.

WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL

A STATE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION.

BOB!

[Franz] BE PATIENT.

HE'LL BE WITH YOU

IN A MINUTE.

THIS FRESH AIR:

WILL REVIVE HIM:

IN NO TIME.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I

ENJOY THESE LITTLE REUNIONS.

[Franz] YOU FUNNY

LITTLE PEOPLE.

I WONDER WHY IT IS YOU

ALWAYS HATE ME SO AT FIRST.

I HAVEN'T REALLY HARMED YOU.

[Franz] YOU GET THE BEST CARE.

I NEVER LET YOU GET
