Gremlins Page #4

Synopsis: Minature green monsters tear through the small town of Kingston Falls. Hijinks ensue as a mild-mannered bank teller releases these hideous loonies after gaining a new pet and violating two of three simple rules: No water (violated), no food after midnight (violated), and no bright light. Hilarious mayhem and destruction in a town straight out of Norman Rockwell. So, when your washing machine blows up or your TV goes on the fritz, before you call the repair man, turn on all the lights and look under all the beds. 'Cause you never can tell, there just might be a gremlin in your house.

four, five new ones.

Now can I have one?

I don't know.

Look, that one's got

a cute stripe on its head.

Isn't that incredible, Pete?

Yeah, great.

Don't you think this -- ?

This is incredible!

Oh, it is neat.

I'm serious. It's neat.

Gizmo, what's the matter?

- There's something I should tell you.

- Look.

You're familiar

with the Bathroom Buddy?

I have made an improvement.

Watch this.

Now, let's say you're

late for the big meeting.

It's really important.

You're on your way. You reach up.

You forgot to shave.

What're you gonna do?

Under normal circumstances...

...you are in trouble.

But not if you have

the Bathroom Buddy.

Watch this.

What do you think?

That's pretty neat.

What's this button?

- Sorry, Dad.

- It's okay.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault. I'm working

on that. I haven't finished that.

I came up here because

there's a problem with the mogwai.

Yeah, what's that?

It multiplies with water.

Do you see what I mean?

I don't believe that.

All that from water?

They got wet?

Plain water.

It's funny.

The new ones aren't like Gizmo.

The striped one

seems to be the leader.

You know what?

I'll bet every kid in America

would like one of these.

They might replace

the dog as the family pet.

Think about it.

The Peltzer Pet.

This could really be the big one.

Barney, who did this to you?

Hold on, I'll get you down.

Stay still.

Poor dog. Another minute

and he would've been a dog-sicle.

All I know is that I'm positive

that I closed and locked the door.

How else did she get to him?

We can't point any fingers,

not even at Mrs. Deagle.

She's been threatening him.

She'd love to get her hands on him.

We don't have proof. We can't even

find footprints leading up to the house.

I'm gonna take Barney

to your grandmother's.

Take him there on the way to the

convention, pick him up on the way home.

He'll be here for Christmas.

It'll be all right.

I don't think we can drink this.

Why not?

What's wrong with this?

Is that a mogwai?

Yeah, I'm gonna have

Mr. Hanson check it out.

And all of a sudden, there were

five new ones like this one.

Now watch this.

Can I keep one of these here,

run some tests on him?

I think I can spare one.

This is some Christmas, Katie,

I'll tell you.

First the old bat closes the factory,

and now it's my goddamn plow.

Mr. Futterman, guess what?

It's time to go home now.

- How about one more beer?

- No, it's late.

One more beer,

I'll help you clean up.

No, thanks, though.

It'll be okay.

- It'll be okay.

- It will not be okay.

I brought my plow in for a tune-up

and found it loaded with foreign parts.

I mean, everything.

Gaskets, pistons, spark plugs.

All of it's foreign.
