Scene: Somewhere high in the Alps. Rescue Rangers stand
with the skies in their paws. Dale is playing out the Greatest
Skier of Alps in front of Gadget.
Dale: Just watch how I will make this descent!
Chip (ironically): Have you tried it at least once befo-
re?
Dale: Bet I'm better that you will ever be!
Chip: Oh yes?
Dale: You just jealous!
Chip: Of what? The snowball you will make from yourself?
Dale: If you won't take that back now, I...
Chip: Oh, I'm so sorry, Dale. I think I better go down
first, in case if you break something and end up needing
help...
Dale growls threateningly.
Gadget: Boys, can you stop arguing at least on vacations?
Monty: Yes, pals. Better make peace.
Dale: I will descend anyway! And then you will see...
Dale launches down the slope, only to immediately hit a
big snowpile, and end up tumbling down in a ball, from which,
for about a moment, can be spotted parts of skiing equipment
or Dale.
Dale (from the pile of snow): ...ups...
Chip (to Gadget): See - live Snowmunk!
Dale: I heard that!
Dale immediately crawls out of the snow, raises one of
the ski poles as bat and goes after Chip. Fencing with the
ski-poles follows.
Monty: Oh, same thing all the time. Cut it out, pals!
Chip: Okay... Peace?
Chip lowers his pole, sticks it in the snow and offers
Dale a paw. Dale regretfully lowers his pole and offers his
paw in return. They pawshake.
Dale: Okay. Peace.
Gadget: Did you hear that, Monty?
Monty: They make war and peace several times a day, luv.
Gadget: Not that sound, Monty.
Monty: Yes, now that you say, something is rumbling up
there.
Rangers raise their heads to look up the slope. Far up
there is a small cloud descending on them. Sound of approac-
hing avalanche.
Monty: It's an avalanche!
All: Run!
Rangers run downwards. Avalanche tries to catch their
legs. Dale falls a bit back from the rest and is swallowed in-
to a snow-wall.
Dale: Help!
From the rolling snow wall can be spotted his hat, skies
and paws.
Zipper squeaks and speeds for him.
Chip sees this, too. He stops and jumps after Dale.
Chip: Dale!
Avalanche covers them all.
* * *
Scene: Flat field of snow. From it sticks out five snow-
piles. Rangers, one after other, dig themselves out of the
snow.
Monty: Brrr. It's been while since I was last covered by
an avalanche.
Gadget: Dale?!
Dale climbs out and pulls off his hat. From it emerges
Zipper.
Dale: I'm here. Zipper's with me.
Chip: At least we all were still in one piece.
Camera gives a panorama of surroundings. Snow and mounta-
ins, and nothing else, and bright sun up into the sky. Gadget
is awed.
Gadget: Gosh, how beautiful!
Monty is digging out the remains of his skies.
Monty: Yes, but we no longer have skies.
Gadget: Don't worry, Monty, I will think up something!
Gadget picks up pieces of wood, tries them together.
Pulls out bent skiing pole, puts it aside.
Dale: Hey! If we all are here, then who is in there?
Fifth snow-pile shakes, and from it digs out a female mo-
use wearing a skiing coat.
Dale: Who are you?
Mouse: I'm Monica.
Chip: Wonderful!
Dale: Are you living here?
Monica (laughs): No, not there. I'm living in village,
down in valley. Who are you?
Dale: We are Rescue Rangers!
Monica: Wow! And whom are you rescuing now?
Gadget (still working on the remains of skies, absentmin-
dedly): So far ourselves... This definitely comes from Chip's
ski...
Dale: No, we are on a vacation.
* * *
Scene: Room an Alpine highlands house. Rangers are sit-
ting at a table and drinking something hot from teacups.
Monty: How good it is to have a warm drink...
He drains his cup and sights satisfied.
Chip: These alpine mice are very hospitable.
Some mouse is entering room.
Mouse: Dear guests, please come to the great feast. We
are making it on your honour.
Chip: Thank you, but what for? We didn't...
Mouse: No, no, You saved the only daughter of our chief-
tain, and he wants to repay you.
Dale: We saved? But we didn't even...
Gadget suddenly remembers something, jumps up and disap-
pears through the doors
Chip: Gadget, where you are going?
Gadget (voice from the corridor): Go, friends, I will
catch up with you later!
Rangers look after her.
Dale: Maybe she forgot some of her inventions.
Monica: I'll help you, fraulein Hackwrench!
Rangers exchange unbelieving looks, and watch Monica di-
sappear behind same doors.
Chip: Excellent! And Monica too. Does she have mechanics
as a hobby?
* * *
Scene: village, central plaza. There is a brightly bur-
ning big fireplace, around which are dancing young mice. On a
high chair is sitting a fat mouse in tirolean national costume
- it's Wilhelm, the chief of the village. On his right-hand
side, the Rangers are sitting, dressed in winter clothes.
Dale: Where's Gadget?
Chip: Yes, she is running late...
Monica appears with a plate of cups filled with hot drink
in her hands.
Wilhelm: She will participate in the 'Snow Mouse Dance'.
Chip: Snow what?
Wilhelm: It's the old ritual dance for the occasion of
big feast. Fraulain Gadget is Geegaw's daughter, we are honou-
red that she will participate in the dance.
Monica (in awe): And she will come up soon!
Chip: One from twos - either I don't understand anything,
or...
Chip turns and stares at Monty. Australian mouse had re-
laxed in his chair, and is slowly sipping from his cup. Noti-
cing Chip's stare, he smiles.
Monty: Chip, if our Gadget gets her paws into something,
she does it ‘til the end, right?
Chip: More skeletons in the family closet, Monty?
Monty: At least, not mine. Monica, luv, pour me some more
of that nectar, will you?
Monica smiles and obeys. Monty sips the steaming drink,
and his face blossoms into euphoria.
Monty: I had already forgotten what a beauty it is...
Zipper offers Monica small fly-sized cup for refilling.
Chip: Monica, how could Gadget know how to dance your ri-
tual dance?
Monica (offended): But she's from a highborn family!
Chip: Highborn? Hackwrench?
Monica: No, silly! That family name the Americans thought
out! Grandfather claims that they change all they can't un-
derstand, and that they don't understand much to start with.
You sure don't understand, right?
Chip: But, Monica... (sighs) Dale, did YOU understand
anything?
Dale (grins wide): Nothing at all!
Chip: I too... Americans...
Chip is watching the plaza, deep in thought.
Chip: But I still don't get it. Gadget never told us abo-
ut her ancestors.
Monica (teaching): It is under the family honour to spre-
ad praise for themselves, Herr Chip.
Chip is confused, but his thoughts are cut short by hys-
terical laughing of Dale.
Dale: I can't hold it! 'Herr Chip'!
Chip bonks Dale on the head so hard, Dale falls out of
the chair and lands face-first in the snow. Dale stands up,
angry, then notices something.
Dale: Look, Chip!
Gadget in the national Austrian costume is dancing with
the other mice around the fire. She starts the song.
Chip: Who'd though! Our Gadget sings?
Monty: That's into her heritage...
Monty eyes closed listens to Gadget singing.
Monty (whispering): Just like her mom...
Zipper is slowly melting on his shoulder.
Dale (to Chip): Chip, I can't understand the words!
Chip (Angry stare to Monty): I too. Although some...
Chip notices Monica listening, intrigued eyes and ears.
Chip's face twists in disappointment.
Chip: Darn... (in angry pride) Yes, yes, I'm a Yankee; I
don't understand!
Presses his head on one paw, continues watching, in dark
mood, so that he misses the look Monica is giving to Dale.
Monica (whispering into slight awe): He's so cute...
Dale at last notices her stare, blinks in confusion.
The song reaches refrain, and the whole plaza joins in.
Gadget's voice can't no longer be picked out from the rest.
Musicians on the scene are pouring their best from the instru-
ments.
Wilhelm: That's the language of our ancestors we are sin-
ging today.
Some mouse offers the cups to the Rangers.
Mouse: Please, this our finest...
A scream of terror cuts through the song. It is picked up
by others. In a few seconds, panic reigns everywhere, with mi-
ce scattering on all sides.
Dale: What's happening?
Wilhelm: O, not today... It's the CaveCat! Run!
Chip: We are Rescue Rangers, and we don't run from the
ca...
A big cat, with teeth that a sabretooth tiger would be
proud of, lands in the centre of the plaza and Chip's sentence
stops unfinished. Cat seems a bit confused, trying to pick out
one target from the all mice screaming and running.
Dale: Wow, Chip, and look! What a cater!
Monty: I would hate to ask to see his dentist's bill. On-
ce I met his cousin high up in the Himalayas. That time I ba-
rely escaped...
Chip: I hereby declare the evening of memories closed!
Rangers, forward!
* * *
Scene: the destroyed village. Rangers are seeing to their
wounds; luckily only a few scratches and some missing fur.
Chip: Okay, so the first round ended not in our favor...
Monty: Don't say... Oh my poor tail...
Monty's tail has burning red toothmarks on it.
Dale: Where's Gadget?
Monica: Herr Monty, let me help with Your tail.
Monica sits down near Monty and starts to bandage his ta-
il.
Chip: Not to be rude, but i sure can't see Gadget!
Monty: The village would have to be build for anew.
Chip: Hey! Where are you all running?
Some mouse: The CaveCat got Froulain Gadget!
Dale: Oh my! We need to save her!
Monty: I'm with you!
Chip (sceptical): With your tail?
Monty: It will be as good as new before marriage.
Monty touches his bandaged tail, winces, then rushes af-
ter the others.
Monica: She was so good...
Monica is sitting on the ground and crying into Gadget's
coat. Her father comes to her.
Chip: Don't feel down, we will save her, and deal with
this CaveCat, too!
Zipper very energetically shows how radically they will
solve this problem.
Wilhelm (after Zipper's karate show ends): Don't you
think we tried it before? For generations, our ancestors were
trying to kill Cave Cats, but every time it ended with our
village robbed and destroyed.
Chip: Wilhelm, Monica, we are Rescue Rangers, and its our
obligation - to fight for the justice and what's right.
Wilhelm: Thank you.
Monica hugs Dale. Dale's eyes bulge out.
Wilhelm: The Cave Cat lives on the other side of this mo-
untain, in the White Cross cave. Be careful.
Rangers start to scale the slope.
Dale: It's strange. They so well know, where the monster
lives, but can't deal with it themselves...
Below them, Monica is crying in her father's chest.
* * *
Scene: Inside cave. Near one wall lies piece of trash
that also serves as a bed. Near it - small scene, with the
curtain closed.
Cat: From now you will live here, my dear.
Gadget: What? Who are you, and why did you kidnap me?
CaveCat: I'm a Cave Cat, my dear. And if you will honour
and please me, maybe I won't eat you in the end.
Cat grins, showing his sabre-like teeth. Gadget gulps in
horror.
CaveCat: Oh, don't be so afraid. I don't eat wise and be-
autiful mice.
He moves his head closer to Gadget, still grinning.
Gadget: But... what will you then do with me?
CaveCat: Well, to live, you will have to sing and dance
for me - together with others. I love artistic souls, and eat
only dumb and clumsy mice. Say, you aren't dumb or clumsy, my
dear?
Gadget's teeth are clattering.
Gadget: I-I... d-don't.... k-know...
CaveCat: Okay.
He catches Gadget with his paw and pushes into the hole
into the cave wall, about a half way up from the floor.
CaveCat: Sit in there, dear. I will close the door, if
you don't have any objections? No? That's good.
Cat closes the exit with the round rock. Inside becomes
dark, into what blink Gadget's eyes.
Gadget: It's dark in there... Boys are probably looking
for me already... I hate singing for this dumb cat...
From the deeper cave appears and start approach the weak
light of candle.
Gadget: Oh! Who's there?
Around the corner steps another mouse with a candle-end
in paws.
Mouse: Just same, prisoner like you.
Gadget listens to mouse's voice, shakes her head in deni-
al.
Gadget (whispering): Mother?
Mouse stops.
Mouse: Do we know each other?
Gadget: Mommy! Mommy it's you! Don't you remember me?
Mouse's hand shivers.
Mouse (nonbelieving): Gadget?
Gadget launches herself on her mother and hugs her, cry-
ing. Both cry and hug one another. They speak in-between one
each, just to express their feelings on the again having their
family...
Gadget: O gosh.... Mommy, you alive... It's wonder... I
cried so much... I thought that the cats ate you... (see Note
3)
Violet: My dear... How long ago it happened... don't
cry... Don't cry anymore, my child, we are together.... No one
would part us now...
Gadget: Yes, mom. Only don't drop me anymore... Promise,
please? Oh mommy... (cries)
Violet: Come, daughter, I will introduce you to the ot-
hers.
Holding onto each other, they walk deeper into the cave,
light disappearing with them.
* * *
Scene: Slope of snowy mountain. In front of the Rangers,
a steep slope descends toward the valley below. It is dotted
with big and small cave entrances, and powdered with a bit of
snow. All caves look alike.
Chip: What did he mean with the "White Cross Cave"? There
are lots of caves, but I can't see even non-white cross there!
Monty: Look at that rock, Chip.
Slightly aside and below them is a rock outcropping. Into
the centre of it, straight over one of caves, can be spotted
white speck in form of the evenly-sided cross.
Chip: Great, Monty!
Rangers descend toward the cross.
Chip: How it could happen?
Monty: Ice filled the deeper part of rock.
Monty bends down to take closer look at the cross.
Monty: Someone has had one hellish time working with a
pickaxe. It's cut by hand.
Chip: Must be locals. So we need this cave (looks at the
dark opening)
Dale: Chip, maybe we first need to draw the CaveCat out?
Chip: Don't be chicken, Dale! We...
Dale: Who's chicken?! I will show you!!!
Chip: Dale, wait!
Dale runs into the cave. Chip and Monty follow.
* * *
Scene: Inside the cave. The body of CaveCat overshadows
rangers.
CaveCat: It's nice sign, when the food arrives right on
time.
Chip: Dream on! You already had your last dinner, you ug-
ly cater!
CaveCat: Phi, how vulgar. Where did you learn to curse so
well? At once it's clear that you aren't locals, you are out-
landers, uneducated outlanders at that, and from that I make a
guess, that you can be only Americans.
Chip (in shock): What? How?
CaveCat: Idiotic question.
Chip: Goddamhell! Every local dismisses us as idiots!
Where's Gadget, you bloodsucker?!!
CaveCat: O? Oh, gentlemen, such big ruffians as you I met
only once. And need I say, they turned out...
Cat jumps at the Rangers.
CaveCat: ...very tasty!!!
Cat has catched Dale by back.
Dale: A-a-a-a!!! CHiiip!!!
Chip jumps and hangs into cat's whiskers. From the shock
and pain, cat's grip relaxes, and Dale escapes.
Chip: Got you!
CaveCat (angered): Did you squeak something?
Few seconds later, it's Chip's time to be in the Cave-
Cat's paws. He is waving with all his paws, but cat just sne-
ers at his attempts to twist free.
Dale: Chiip!!!
Monty has a good hold on the cat's tail, and gives it a
mighty pull. Chip at last twists free, leaving pieces of his
fur on the cat's claws.
CaveCat: Hey, careful with my tail, rat! Or I will tear
yours off completely!
Monty: Whom did you call rat, pussycat?
Chip: Strategic withdrawal, Monty! I have a plan!
Monty pushes Chip aside and stomps toward the Cat, who
had turned to face him.
Monty: I haven't yet taught this idiot a few things,
Chipper...
* * *
Scene: Deeper into the cave. Rangers are standing on a
small carnise on the wall. Below them, in fact far, far below,
is visible a pool of boiling lava. On the other side of the
pool stands CaveCat.
Chip: Look what you did, Monty! It's your fault that we
are now...
CaveCat: ...trapped. Oh, what sharp eyes you have, ro-
dent. I see you are the wisest in the company. Even if you
aren't a mouse, I think you will make quite a tasty first co-
urse.
Gadget is listening to the sounds from outside. She ven-
tures to the crack in her prison wall. From it she sees the
cave, where rangers are opposing CaveCat. Gadget tries to push
her head through the crack, but it is too small. She can only
get her snout through it.
Gadget: Don't touch them!
CaveCat: When I need an after dinner music pause, I will
ask you to sing. Until that - shut up!
Rangers are looking around for the Gadget.
Chip: Gadget? Where are you?
Gadget: I'm up here!
Chip notices Gadget's hand waving out from the crack near
the roof of cave.
Dale: We will save you, Gadget!
Monty: Yes, as soon as we tear the whiskers out from this
monster!
CaveCat: Listen you, main course! You start to get on my
nerves!
Dale: Chip, Chipp, listen! I thought out something!
All three are whispering.
CaveCat: Excellent! Just stay that way, so that I can set
the jumping distance...
Cat crouches down on the edge of the pool, wiggles his
back a bit, and launches over the lava.
All: Jump!
Unfortunately, as all good plans this one didn't survive
the test of impressing it. Only Monty has reached the other
carnise, and is holding onto it, while chipmunks hang into his
tail.
CaveCat: Bwa-hah-a! Three stooges! Hey! What you need?
Zipper is aiming at the Cave Cat's eyes. Cat waves his
paw, till he hits him and sends Zipper-pancake crashing into
the far side of cave.
All: Zipper!!!
CaveCat: Streetpizza from your Zipper!
Cat is again turning toward the bigger 'victims', and
Zipper has time to regain his senses. He sits up, shaking his
head.
Dale: Chi-ip! There below...
Chip: I know, I know! Don't panic! Hold a bit more Monty,
we are crawling!
Monty: Hurry up you two, please...
Chipmunks crawl up Monty's back, then pull him on the
carnise, too. Cat checks the distance, then jumps back over
the pool of lava to the big cave. He walks around the pool and
pushes rocks on the wall. Few fall out and into the lava. Part
of the carnise, rangers are now standing, disintegrates and
falls into the lava too. Chip looses the ground under his feet
and nearly follows them, but Monty and Dale manage to catch
him and pull back.
CaveCat: Ahh, excuse me please. Forgot to warn you, that
my cave floor is not at all strong in some places as one may
think.
CaveCat now is on that side of lava pool, that is closer
to the new carnise, rangers are standing on. Monty is busily
checking the wall behind them for any cracks that would let
them crawl up. Suddenly from above falls a rope and hits him
on head. Chip and Dale are watching Cat, and doesn't notice it
yet. Monty tests the rope's strength; it holds. From the crack
at the ceiling waves Gadget. Monty holds harder onto the rope
and makes a sign like jumping.
Chip: You crazy?!
CaveCat: I like dinner with sense of humour.
Monty: All questions later. Just hold unto me.
CaveCat: Talks is good, but I'm getting hungry. Dinnerti-
me, here I come.
Dale: Look! Zipper!
Cat jumps. Instantly Zipper hits him in the left eye. Cat
starts to madly wave with his paws and looses his speed. He
doesn't reach the carnise, he just gets his forepaws on the
ledge, hanging down the wall. Rangers are crawling up the rope
fast, trying to reach the crack. Dale is the last in the cha-
in.
Dale: He's jumping!
Cat has pulled himself up on the carnise and has the rope
in his paws.
CaveCat: Curse you rodents!
Suddenly, the carnise with loud crack breaks, and he ends
hanging into the rope. For a moment all freeze. Then rope bre-
aks. Zipper for a second stops Dale from falling, then Monty
with one hand grabs him by collar and pulls him up to the
crack.
CaveCat: Nno-oo-o-o!!!
Look from the top - cat together with the pieces of rocks
and rope falls down. Iris out.
* * *
Scene: The cave with the sleeping mat and scene. The
skinny ex-prisoners are sitting here. Rangers are standing
around Gadget.
Chip: Well, all are now free, and our job is finished.
Gadget: It was terrible! Chip, he forced mice to perform
for him, and if he didn't like the performance, he just ate
them on the spot!
Monty (calming her): It's over, luv. Over.
Gadget: Thank you. O, I nearly forgot! This is my mother
Violet!
Rangers hurry to straighten their appearances. Chip pats
his jacket. Dale presses his shirt and corrects non-present
butterfly-tie, while Monty straightens his hat on one ear.
They come to Violet. Chip and Dale simply shake paws. Monty
raises her paw to his mouth and kisses gallantly.
Violet: Pleased to meet you, Rescue Rangers. Monty, You
eternal globetrotter, how did you get into such a non-wande-
ring company?
Monty (with pathos): I discovered, that there are some
eternal values in the world, madam.
Violet: Happy to hear. But why I don't believe you, you
old liar!
Violet laughs and shakes finger at Monty. Monty smiles
back.
Violet: Thank you all, you did it like real heroes. I'm
so glad that my daughter has such good friends.
Chip (blushing): Oh, no, madam...
Violet (comforting): Just call me Violet.
Chip: Sure, ma.. Violet. May I ask you a question?
Violet: Yes?
Chip: How did you escape death on that warehouse?
Violet: To say the honest, I was very close to death
then...
* * *
Violet's story. Violet's voice behind the cadres trails,
while the clips are shown - black&white silent film with the
scratches and tears on the celluloid from the old age - that
illustrates the most effective and significant fragments.
Violet: I got lucky. I slipped through the cat claws,
when they all jumped at me at once, getting one in each ot-
her's way. And then they started to fight over me. While they
tore into each other, I managed to crawl into the mousehole.
Cats are fighting, rolling on the warehouse floor. Fur is
flying. Under them Violet sprints toward the hole into the
floor.
Violet: I was feeling very sad, in our empty house... But
then Daedal returned. He said, that he would save us all this
time. I found out where Geegaw went, but I was too late.
Violet is sitting alone into the empty mouse hole. Enters
Daedal, pulls his hat off.
Violet and few other mice on the warehouse roof, there
are few mouse-sized plane skeletons been built. Some time la-
ter. Planes look ready to lift into the air.
Violet: The humans appeared and started to load the
sacks. They spotted me. I escaped, but Daedal and others left
without me...
The workers are carrying sacks outside.
Violet is sitting into her hole and shaking. The sack-ro-
of of her hole is lifted, worker notices her. Stretches his
hand to catch.
Violet is running, humans try to catch her, tossing hats
on her. She escapes them, and hides in a crack in the floor.
Empty warehouse. Violet is running over it, fearfully lo-
oking around.
Violet on the roof. Darkness is falling. Some trash, some
pieces of broken furniture and dropped personal belongings are
scattered there. Planes are gone. Violet cries into the night.
Violet: I then had no chance than to become a tramp...
NewYork. Violet, in rags, is digging through the trash-
cans, running from the rat-police, fighting with other tramps
for a warm place to stay for a night.
Violet sleeps under the metro platform, wakes when the
train speeds past her.
Violet walks through the slum districts past the ban-
dit-looking mice and rats.
Violet: Once I found a place for a night in the airport.
I awakened already on the air. That way I ended up in Euro-
pe...
Violet is cutting her way through the tiny wood plank,
then falling asleep on the something furry and warm.
She wakes up from the low roar. She crawls out to find
herself into the plane baggage compartment. Through the glass
below can be seen clouds, between them even further below the
endless blueness...
Violet: After I got here, it got easier. My relatives
helped me. I was living in Paris for a some time. We meet in
Paris--remember, you heartbreaker?
Monty scratches his head, blushes.
Violet, in rags, is sitting in a policestation. Her name
is called. Her face lights up.
Outside of the police building. Violet cames out, held on
either side by mice - on one side a respectable old mouse, on
other a young mouse gentleman.
Violet working into some office.
Some social gathering. The cheaply dressed Violet - poor
relative - is sitting at the corner, glass of champagne into
her paws. Her eyes fill with tears. She remembers...
Violet walking alone through the night streets. Suddenly
there are some robbers around her, one holds her, and another
pulls her purse. She shouts, suddenly the robbers are tossed
away like by hurricane. Monty grins widely.
Violet and Monty sitting into street cafe, trying not lo-
oking one at other. Monty is served cheese, and he does his
usual cheese chomping. Violet turns away in disgust.
They stand outside cafe. Monty asks forgiveness. She
nods. He says her something. She show's him Geegaw's photo.
Monty turns sad and leaves. Violet looks after him.
Violet: At a bad time did I decide to visit uncle Wil-
helm. The CaveCat caught me.
Alpine village. The CaveCat is raving on the streets. Vi-
olet is running, but Cat catches her and leaves.
CaveCat's cave. Violet is standing on the small scene and
singing. He tosses her piece of cheese. She picks it up and
leaves the scene.
Violet: Then you came and saved me.
* * *
Scene: Back into the CaveCat's cave.
Chip: And what will you do now?
Violet: Maybe I will return to Paris, maybe I will stay
here. Wilhelm is long time dreaming of opening a skiing centre
up here.
Violet (joking): Boys, take care of my Gadget, she's so
fragile.
Gadget (blushing as beetle): MOM!!
Rangers and Violet are laughing. Gadget stands red from
shock, one leg trying to grind a hole into the cave floor.
* * *
Scene: CaveCat's cave, now cleaned and decorated with
dried flowers. On the raised up place is sitting chief Wil-
helm, on his right hand Monty and Zipper, on his left - Chip
and Dale. Into cave centre mice are dancing, between them can
be spotted Violet and Gadget. Other cheering mice stands near
the walls.
Monty: Well, my tail is nearly well, the last CaveCat got
baked in a lava pool; only thing to worry about is that the
local food is very tastey and satisfying...
Quickly downs another piece of cheese...
Monty: ... not to mention the enormous variety of cheese.
Chip: But most importantly, Gadget found her mother.
Dale: But our vacation was ruined!
Chip: Dale, aren't we relaxing?
Monica: O, Herr Dale, you are so brave! Please accept
this drink from me. Please?
Chip, with some doubts, considers the small cup into Mo-
nica's paws.
Monty: Be careful, Dale.
Chip: I hope, that even such a good-looking girl as Moni-
ca won't cloud what little you have of brains, Dale? Dale?
While Chip had spoken, Monica had given Dale a quick smo-
och on the cheek. If there had been some doubts in Dale's he-
ad, they are gone now. Dale downs the cup in one gulp and sta-
res at Monica.
Dale: I don't think, Chip...
Chip sights and turns to Monty again.
Chip: What's about Violet?
Monty: She decided to stay here. Her relatives live here.
It is her motherland, Chip...
Monty is looking at how Dale and Monica are pressing clo-
ser and closer.
Monty: Chip, I think it's time to save Dale, before it's
too late...
Dale has some trouble focusing his eyes. Monica is loo-
king on him with such eyes a week, hungry cat would look on a
pot of milk, and caressing his chin. Dale is on cloud nine
from all the attention.
Monica (with oiled eyes looking into Dale's similarly
clouded ones): O, min hero...
Chip notices this and slaps himself on the forehead in
hopeless denial...
* * *
Scene: On the main plaza of the village. Everywhere are
signs of rebuilding. The Ranger plane is standing here, ran-
gers are near it, and all villagers too.
Wilhelm: Many thanks to you. You saved us from our most
terrible enemy.
Chip: We are Rescue Rangers! We did only what had to be
done!
Gadget: Mom, I will visit you every year. I'm so happy!
Only dad...
Violet: Your dad was a real hero, Gadget. Try to be proud
that you are carrying his name. Geegaw didn't save himself for
the best of all rodents.
Violet's eyes fill with tears.
Gadget: Don't cry, mother, I swear by the honour of our
ancestors, I will stand for right as long as my heart beats!
Violet: Thanks my child.
Violet kiss Gadget.
Monica: This is for you, my Strippedback!
Monica gives Dale huge bouquet of edelweiss.
Chip: Dale, don't get distracted!
Monica: But, Dale! Just one... (places lips into butterf-
ly) kiss... to farewell...
Dale can't decide. Monica pulls her lip up, and manages
to squeeze out a tear. Dale's heart melts out. He surrenders.
They kiss, and Monica happily watches the reaction.
Dale (eyes closed, grin from ear to ear): O--ohh, what a
girl...
Monica smiles happily.
Chip: Dale?
Dale: A? E? Yes, Chippi, I'm coming...
Monica (demanding): One more time?
Dale: Monica....
Follows a kiss, after which Dale has trouble standing.
Monica looks at him, considering.
Monty notices this, walks up to Dale, and without any ce-
remonies press him under an arm and walks to the plane. Dale
doesn't resist, still dreaming.
The plane starts to rise up.
Wilhelm: Good bye! Safe travel to you!
Gadget: I will fly back soon! I promise!
From ground comes Monica's playful voice
Monica: Come to me, my chipmunkie!
Dale: I'm coming! Moni...
Dale raises one leg over the plane board and near falls
out. Lucky, Monty manages to pull him back in.
Chip: About what do you think, Dale?!
Dale (whispers dreamily): Monica...
Chip (sights): And why did I ask?
Dale attempts another escape, but Monty and Zipper are on
guard now and stop it before it starts in earnest.
Monty: We are holding him, Chip.
Chip: No, that won't help. You can't hold him all the
way. Let's do it this way...

Scene: The Ranger Plane is flying over the frozen river
valley.
Dale is sitting on the back seat, tied up, and surrounded
by edelweiss, and grinning from ear to ear. From his eyes are
popping out pink hearts and with loud 'pop's popping over his
head, dousing others with the pink liquid.
Gadget has turned to him, and is speaking, blinking by
each 'pop'.
Gadget: Dale, promise me, when we co...
'Pop'!
Gadget: ...me home, you go...
'Pop'!
Gadget: ...to the psychoanalyst.
'Pop'!
Dale is out of it...
Dale: Yes, Gadget... (smiling dreamily) Monicaa....
Chip (enthusiastic): Gadget, I know one v-very good psyc-
hoanalyst!
Gadget: Sure?
'Pop'!
Chip: Yes. Top notch! One word from her, and Dale will be
as well as a bean!
Monty: You mean - Mexican jumping bean?
'Pop'! 'Pop'! 'Pop'!
Gadget (looks at Chip sadly): Chip, if you ever try...
(her tone changes to threatening) I will call YOUR personal
psychoanalyst. The one from the other studio! (See note 5)
Chip (for a moment voiceless, just gasping and turning
pink): But Gadget, I just wanted...
Chip opens and closes his mouth a few times without so-
unds, then explodes into anger.
Chip: And in the end, SHE DID IT HERSELF!!!!
Gadget: I understand, Chip, I understand.
She just looks at Chip, and he slowly looses all his ste-
am and sighs hopelessly at the end.
Chip: Okay, I pass.
Dale (same tone, like background sound): Monica-a-a....
Chip: But we HAVE to do something with this monicamania!
It starts to get too loud there!
Upon word 'Monica', the single 'pop's grow up to automa-
tic fire, and the pink mist encircles the plane. One drop hits
Zipper and forces him to land.
The scene iris out into form of a heart, centred upon Da-
le's blissful face.
Translator's notes.
I found, that Lawainee's method of describing the things
with long descriptions works quite fine. ;-) Due lack of the-
saurus, I had to use that tricks a few times. I would have to
ask Karen for help, though.
For how Violet was broken off from the Hackwrench family,
read "Ghosts from the Past".
On how Violet met Monty, I don't know how exactly, and
when. Ask the author. I believe it was before Monty met Des
and later Geegaw. But it still contradicts with the series,
one way or other.
Gadget's threat at the last part to "call Chip's personal
psychoanalyst from the other studio" was a snip upon the anot-
her Russian RR story "Kiwi big alternative", a RR/TTA crosso-
ver. Three guesses, whom did she mean to come for poor Chip
treatment? Name starts and ends with 'fi'.
