The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking Page #4

Synopsis: After her father's ship is carried off by a sudden storm, the spunky Pippi Longstocking is stranded with her horse, Alfonso, and monkey, Mr. Nilsson, and takes up residence in the old family home, which is thought by neighborhood children to be haunted. Soon, two children, Tommy and Annika, venture into the house only to meet up with Pippi. The three soon become friends and get into various adventures together, including cleaning the floor with scrubbing shoes, dodging the "splunks", going down a river in barrels, and helping Pippi with the problem of having to go to a children's home. Older children will probably get the most out of this movie.

'Cause on scrubbing day

we make everything get wet.

Whoa! It was lucky

I was here to catch you!

What a great way to clean up.

I must try it someday.

This is my mom, Pippi.

Nice mom. My mom is... She's not

here right now. She's, uh...

I don't mean to be rude, Pippi,

but we're terribly late.

They've got to go

to the dentist.

Bye, Pippi. Bye, Pippi.

Wait! Here. Take these.

My father got them off of an old

sailor who didn't need them anymore.

I don't think we can use them just now.

But do come and visit.

That'll be fun. Bye, Pippi.

Bye, Pippi.

And when was your last checkup?

Get back!

Watch your step, boss.

Briefcase.

Good morning!

Nice of you to call.

I'm Pippilotta Delicatessa

Windowshade Longstocking,

daughter of

Captain Efraim Longstocking.

Pippi for short. Pippi.

Good morning.

What can I do for you? Selling vacuums?

I'll take a dozen.

Wrap them up. No, I'm not selling.

I'm buying. Oh, this is me.

Dan Blackhart. Blackhart's Ideal Homes.

If you need it, we've got it.

Well, to be very honest with you, I don't

think I need anything this morning.

But,

you can have this wonderfully spectacular

sewing machine for a dollar.

I don't want your filthy

sewing machine.

I would like to look inside.

Will there be anything else?

Oh! I wonder if you'd be

interested in selling this house?

My home? Selling?

How can you sell a home?

You can't wrap it up.

You can't carry it away.

And you certainly can't

fit it in your car.

Obviously you can't

make much of a living...

if you're trying to buy houses

other people are living in.

Here's a gold coin for your troubles.

Where did you get that?

No big deal. I have a whole mess

of them down in the basement.

I just help myself whenever I need to.

How did they get there?

It's a long story.

But I can tell you this much.

It's part of the treasure

from King Solomon's mines.

I'm afraid you'll have to go now.

It's Friday. Wash day.

I'm sure you'll understand.

Who is that girl?

What is she doing on a horse?

Watch out,

world 'cause here she comes.

And she's bound to teach you

more than one thing.

Pippi Longstocking is coming

into your town.

What is going on here? The

one no one can keep down.

No, no, no, no.

Get them in the bus. Get in there.

In the bus.

Get in the bus. Get

in the bus. Get in the bus.

That's no way to treat kids.

Is that where you go to school?

No. That's the home for children who

have no parents. Nobody wants them.

Well, all kids

should be wanted and loved.

Maybe their moms and dads

just lost them.

Whoa, whoa.

Pippi Longstocking is coming

into your world.

A freckled-faced red-haired girl.

You ought to know she'll throw
