Gidget's TaleSpin Review
A
TOUCH OF GLASS
Rating: 5 out of 5 Krakatoa Specials
Summary
Rebecca is happily making
sandwiches for her ‘new class of clientele’ when a smelly guy tries to bring a
sack of Grade A fertilizer into her office.
A swarm of flies buzz madly around him (either from him or the
fertilizer, probably the former). She
bodily throws both him and his pungent package out the door, sniffing,
“Peasant”. An outraged Baloo storms in,
demanding, “What’s the idea of insultin’ poor Fred?”, instigating an argument
about the ‘right kind’ of clientele for Higher for Hire. Rebecca tries to
attract wealthy clients by cashing in the company’s insurance policy to buy
advertising space in a ritzy magazine for $500. In something she smoothly explains as ‘collateral insurance’,
when the plane takes off, the client gets the deed to the Sea Duck. If anything happens to the client’s
valuables/cargo, they get to keep the plane.
Baloo overhears this and goes berserk.
But the deal is made and he grudgingly goes along with his boss’s
reasoning, despite his misgivings about both the deal and Muffy and Buffy
Vanderschmere, the rich couple. They
want to be taxied to Hyenasport to store their inheritance (big sparkling
diamonds).
After
takeoff, strange events occur. Muffy
opens the window for fresh air and Buffy coaxes his way into the pilot’s seat,
insisting on flying the plane. Baloo complains to Rebecca, who scoffs,
unwilling to chastise rich customers.
The plane tips into a nosedive and Muffy shrieks, “Help! My jewels have fallen out of the
plane!” Mayhem ensues as the plane and
jewels both fall. Baloo roughly
reclaims his seat and thanks to his quick thinking, manages to save the jewels
from falling into the ocean.
They land
at Louie’s to refuel, much to Rebecca’s dismay. But the Vanderschmeres are keen to go slumming, so they
(particularly Rebecca) end up suffering through one of Louie’s aggressively
friendly introductions, including hand-kissing and a nauseating fork-cleaning
demonstration.
After Muffy
and Buffy express their displeasure and demand to leave the island and insult
Louie, hinting snidely that he’s not to be trusted.
Rebecca: “They’re
right, Baloo. He’s a sleazy, low-life
jerk!”
Baloo:
“Just because he’s not dressed like you doesn’t
mean you’re better than him!”
Rebecca: “Oh, please. Let’s just get out
of here.”
Cody: She was being at her snobbish best in this
episode, wasn’t she?
(Baloo’s angry defense of his friend seems to deflate… his
facial expression is sorta dopey) Rebecca suddenly notices that her purse is missing, then later found
in Louie’s office. Tensions rise and
the Vanderschmeres are not
happy. Which means Rebecca isn’t
happy. Which will mean Baloo won’t be
happy…
Louie
senses her animosity and tries to win her over by dancing with her, only to end
up with a half a cantaloupe melon in his face and sitting alone in the middle
of the floor. On the way out, Rebecca
is furious with Baloo for bringing them to the island until Muffy slyly brings
something to her attention:
Muffy: “Uh, dearikins… weren’t you wearing a
necklace?”
Becky (gasps): “My pearls!”
Buffy: “Someone must have taken them!”
Louie is
suspected and again Baloo confronts him; the necklace accidentally falls out of
Louie’s shirt, branding him the thief and ending their friendship.
Cody: I admit it looked
bad for Louie, but I can’t believe Baloo believed those three over someone he’s
known for years!
Baloo stands guard outside the Vanderschmere’s room, guarding the jewels. But alas, he falls asleep and is startled
awake by Muffy’s shrieks that their jewels were stolen. The rich couple leaves Louie’s in a huff,
taking the plane. Baloo chases after
them and gets dragged into a floating buoy for his trouble.
Rebecca confronts Louie, who reveals that the Vanderschmeres are con artists
wanted for fraud (the bag of jewels are found in the bushes and Louie smashes
them, exposing them as worthless glass; disappearing ink renders their check
invalid).
To her
surprise and humility, Louie helps Rebecca chase down the runaway Sea Duck and
overpower the crooks. The plane is
restored to B&B, the felonious couple is behind bars and Rebecca learns
tolerance… sort of.
Quibbles
and Bits
Notice how
Rebecca fusses over the food arrangement on her desk and says in satisfaction,
“There. Perfect!”… yet she doesn’t
provide chairs for her clients?
Cody: I guess they
forgot to cover that part in business school.
Muffy and Buffy are about to sit on thin air when Baloo kicks over a
pair of bongos (Cody:
Not…saying…anything….;)) just in time.
I mean, they don’t even check if there’s anything to sit on first.
The
sandwiches and finger food Rebecca lays out on her desk never gets eaten and
looks different (some plates missing; different food) depending on whether
POV is over Muffy or Becky’s shoulder.
Cody:
She keeps
switching the trays, hoping to tempt her delicate clients. ;)
Gidget (as Rebecca):
Which one has the arsenic? Go on
--- guess!
Rebecca
again makes sandwiches (well, one big towering sandwich, to be exact) in the
cockpit, which again nobody eats; Baloo reaches for one and gets his hand
smacked for his trouble. At least Becky
didn’t do the Wildcat Thing and store the sandwiches in her pocket, then offer
it to the passengers. Ya just can’t
beat airline food…
When
Rebecca tells Baloo that she’s ‘going to go change’, she shows up in the next
scene in the same outfit, wearing a pearl necklace and totes a purse. She’s trying to be classy, but the ensemble
just doesn’t go together (I know…
*meow*)
Cody (preens her whiskers):
It’s a definite fashion don’t. ;)).
The woman has no taste in clothes, especially when she dresses up for the
evening (My Fair Baloo and Gruel and Unusual Punishment) or spends the night at a castle (The Balooest of Bluebloods).
Cody: And don’t forget
that hideously dowdy dress she wore in A Star is Torn.
Gidget: I can’t. I want to, but I just can’t.
Since when does the Sea Duck have an intercom?
Cody:
Baloo had Wildcat install it so he could check on his cargo without
getting out of his seat. ;)
Gidget (as Baloo, on intercom mike): Hey, Kit… is the cargo still tied good an’ tight?”
Kit (pitching the last crate of precious mangos out the
door): Uh, sure, Papa Bear!
When Muffy opens the
window to 'lose' her jewels, why isn't she sucked out? Open windows on
airplanes are like vacuums in the movies. No way would she be able to
keep that wig on.
Cody:
And since when does somebody just ‘pop open a window’ on an
airplane? It ain’t a car, for goodness’
sake! Then again, Baloo and Kit have
the windows open often and are never sucked out (Vowel Play, I Only
Have Ice for You, A Bad Reflection on You, and Stormy Weather, to
name a few).
The water
is pretty deep when Baloo lassoes the hijacked plane to prevent the crooked
pair from taking off. He gets dragged
along the surface, falls and hits his head on a floating buoy. But he doesn’t sink!
Cody:
It’s all the fat. Keeps him
pretty buoyant, especially if it’s saltwater and not fresh.
Gidget (as Baloo):
Saltwater taffy? Where? Where?
The Case of the Missing Pearl Necklace
Notice how
Rebecca’s necklace keeps appearing and disappearing from scene to scene.
Louie
kisses her hand (necklace is gone)
Rebecca
(repelled by Louie’s gallantry): “We really
can’t stay.” (necklace returns a second later)Since the pearls are the same
color as her white turtleneck, it’s hard to spot unless you look for it (and I
did!). Louie got a raw deal with that stupid necklace thing.
Cody: She looked like
Wilma Flintstone. Those pearls were huge!
The Case of the Missing Eyebrows
Rebecca is
frequently drawn without her eyebrows (her eye patches are outlined, but the
top part isn’t darkened at top… it looks weird).
While she
takes a peek at the jewels (“Is that the jewelry? They’re beautiful…”); then Buffy snaps the
bag shut before she can get a really good look at the stash. Louie would never be fooled---he’s an
expert on precious stones, as he proved in P&L, Part 2.
Cody: I don’t think he had to worry. Becky probably wouldn’t have known even if
she’d picked one up and got a really close look.
-during the Louie/hand-kissing scene
-when Muffy and Buffy leave for the restroom (hopefully not the same one, but
knowing Louie…)
-Buffy: “First her
purse. Then her pearls. Next that thief will steal our diamonds. And remember, Baloo, if anything happens to
the diamonds, the plane goes.” Becky’s
eyebrows disappear during this speech.
-P&L, part 4 (when
Rebecca and kids stare at Baloo until he agrees to save Cape Suzette (“Now,
hold on, people… I ain’t the hero type!”)
-Time Waits for No Bear (when
Rebecca wakes up… also, her nightgown changes from blue to white for a second)
-when
begging for more time to find the lost jewels, Rebecca chases the
Vanderschmeres as they leave the island.
She doesn’t have her purse with her.
Muffy: “We should have known when we saw your shabby little office. Now
we’re taking the plane. Ha!”
Louie
follows Becky, asking what the ruckus is about. When she turns to snap
at him, the purse suddenly appears over her left shoulder.
Know what’s
funny about Becky? Her clients insult
her office, then, when Louie tells her they set him up, she rushes to their defense.
Rebecca: “How dare you talk about---!”
Louie:
“Did they ever pay you?”
Rebecca: “Well, of course. See?”
Shows him the blank check, to her surprise. And gets a rude awakening about
‘classy’ clients.
Cody:
(snorts) And this from the supposed ‘brains’ of the outfit. Boy, was she ever snowed!
Gidget: That drives me
nuts. A businesswoman with a child
shouldn’t be that naïve!
Neat
Little Details
In the
glossy magazine ad (“Fly the Affluent Skies with Higher for Hire”), Kit, Baloo
and Becky are all wearing smart navy uniforms, Baloo is thinner and doesn’t
obviously remember posing for the picture.
Cody:
D’you think she could have just filched a couple of pictures and got the
magazine to rearrange them to make the ad?
Gidget: Wouldn’t surprise
me.
Also, B&B switch roles here. Becky is easy-going about her classy clients
ability to pay and Baloo demands payment up front.
“Well, if
they’re so rich, they shouldn’t mind payin’ us.”
Gidget:
Rebecca flexes her muscles:
Shoves the scruffy Fred and his smelly fly-ridden Grade A fertilizer out
of her office and later shoves Baloo in the closet, locking the door (wonder if that closet is in the other
eps?). Later, when Baloo protests when
Buffy insists on flying the plane, Becky shoves him down the aisle into the
cockpit, saying, “It’s all right, Baloo.
They’re paying us a lot of money.” (Gee, what won’t Becky do for money?
(Cody
opens her mouth)
Gidget: Don’t answer that!
J
Cody: Well, you’re
no fun! J
Gidget: Anyway, both are
large guys… she must be pretty strong to overpower them (or else she took them
by surprise)
Cody: I think she just
took them by surprise. She might be
strong, but she couldn’t move either one of them if they didn’t really want to
be moved.
Louie is
reading a comic book when Baloo enters his office to ask him about Becky’s
purse (Bearcat says it might be a Roger Rabbit comic)
Rare occurrence: Louie’s employees have
speaking parts (mechanic and white-haired monkey)
Cody: They both sound like they’ve got emphysema
or something.
Baloo
visits Rebecca’s room (to return her necklace after it’s found in Louie’s
unwitting possession, nothing more… *sigh*).
Cody: (breathes a sigh
of relief)
Gidget: (breathes a sigh
of disappointment)
Baloo (tosses necklace angrily on Rebecca’s
bed): “Here! If you need me, I’ll be guardin’ those jewels. (flatly) I… guess
you were right about Louie after all.”
Rebecca (genuinely compassionate): “I’m so sorry, Baloo.”
Cody:
Aww, she wasn’t really sorry.
She was gloating on the inside.
Becky: I was right! Y’see, I’m never wrong, Baloo. ;)
Outside on
porch, Baloo prepares to stand guard with a weapon:
“If Louie
shows his face, this flare gun’ll light up his life!”
Then he
falls asleep with the muzzle pointed at himself (!) and shoots a hole in the
ceiling when Muffy’s shrieks startle him.
Muffy and Buffy’s wanted poster shows them in prison garb and Muffy’s fluffy
blonde hair is missing. They look like
twins.
Cody:
Which leads one to wonder if they’re really male and female or both
male…
Gidget: Maybe they wonder
too.
(as Buffy):
Precious Metals, which one of us
am I again?
Funny Stuff
Baloo:
“Ya don’t make money by shooin’ customers away. (conveniently forgetting that he mistook
Rebecca "as ‘just a customer’ and shooed her away when they first met in
P&L, Part 2)
Cody (as Baloo): I’m a reformed bear!
Gidget (as Rebecca): Can you form yourself a little thinner?
Rebecca:
“Customer? He looked more like a
bum.”
Baloo:
“Rebecca, don’t judge a bankbook by its cover. That ‘bum’ is worth half
a million shaboozies.”
Rebecca: “Him? Now who’s full of fertilizer?”
Baloo: “The problem with you, Becky, is you’re too hung up on
appearances. You oughtta… (sees a
portrait of a snooty-looking nobleman on the office wall) “ Hey-hey! What’s this? Your gym teacher? What happened to my picture of Louie?”
Rebecca:
“I was tired of looking
at that pile of matted fur.”
Baloo (spies Louie’s picture in the trash and fishes it
out): “Hey, that matted fur is my
friend!”
Rebecca:
“He’s a slob, and I don’t like slobs around me!”
Gidget (whispers): “Get used to it, Beckers.”
Rebecca:
“Did I say ‘manure’? I meant… bon jour!”
After the
deal is clinched, Rebecca tells Baloo to get the plane ready for take-off at
3:30.
Rebecca:
“Now I’m going to go change and I’ll meet you here at 3:30—uh, could you
paint the plane before then?”
Baloo (incredulously):
“Are you out of your so-called mind?”
Rebecca:
“All right! Then at least wash it!”
Baloo:
“All right! Everyone
aboard! (sarcastically) I hope the
trip’s not too roughy!”
Rebecca:
“Baloo! That’s enoughy… I mean,
enough! Get the bags.”
Baloo (mutters to himself): “Get the bags…! Where she gets off, I dunno…” (throws the
bags into the hatch of the Sea Duck, hitting Muffy off screen)
Muffy (surprisingly coarse
voice): “Hey! Watch it, you dumb ox! (suddenly remembers
her patrician role) I mean… I’d appreciate it if you were more careful, young
man.” Baloo is left scratching his head
in puzzlement.
Cody:
If Kit had been in this episode, he would have seen through them right
away. He might have even sided with Louie
when Baloo turned on him, which would have made an interesting storyline.
Gidget:
I have to agree
with you. Kit definitely wouldn’t have
gone along with Baloo.
In the
cockpit, Baloo voices his suspicions to Becky:
Baloo: “I’m tellin’ ya, Becky… those two
aren’t as classy as they look.”
Rebecca:
“Au contraire, dumb bear.
They’re rich and refined.
Educated too.”
Baloo: “How do you know that?”
Rebecca:
“Look how smart their clothes are.”
Baloo: “Smart clothes don’t make smart
people.”
Rebecca: “Anyway, if they like us, they’ll tell their rich friends,
so you be nice to them.”
Cody:
Buffy gleefully flies the Sea Duck:
Buffy: “I don’t know a thing about aviation, but I’ve
always wanted to dabble in it!”
“Oh, this
is amusing! Wheeee!”
When Baloo
snarls at Buffy, Rebecca’s sweetly threatening voice floats over the
intercom: “Baloooo… be niiice…”
While the
plane nosedives toward the ocean, Baloo digs through his belongings,
desperately seeking something to snag the falling jewels. After pawing through the pile of junk,
several items are unearthed, including a pogo stick.
Baloo: “Come on, where is it? (finds pogo
stick) Gee, I’ve been looking for that!”
Goes on digging until he finds a small net. “Eureka!”
Baloo: “These are clients and they mean a
lot to Rebecca, so be on your best behavior, okay?”
Louie: “Say no more! Those them?”
Baloo: “Yeah. Muffy and Buffy.”
Louie: “Which is which?”
Baloo: “I don’t know.”
Cody:
Me, either!
Louie
welcomes them to the bar, shaking everyone’s hand, grossing out the
Vanderschmeres:
(to Buffy):
“Hi, I’m Louie. I dig your chapeau,
Joe.”
(to
Rebecca): “Hello, gorgeous!” (grabs her hand and sloppily kisses it)
(to Baloo):
“How’s that for class?”
Baloo pulls
his hat down over his eyes, embarrassed by Louie’s gaucheness.
Louie grabs
Rebecca’s hand. “Come now. Let me take
you to my very best table. It’s the one
I reserve for headhunters.”
Muffy:
“Waiter! My fork’s dirty.”
Louie: “Man, oh man, am I sorry!” (breathes
on it like he’s cleaning a pair of glasses, then wipes it on his bare hip)
“There! Good as new. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some
business to attend to.”
Cody: Kinda makes me
wonder why the health department doesn’t shut him down…
Gidget: They came close in Pizza Pie in the Sky,
remember?
Muffy and
Buffy are completely appalled.
Buffy: “The man is disgusting!”
Baloo (sarcastically): “What? Too scruffy?” (love the way he makes fun of
their names)
Cody: Me, too!
Baloo
questions Louie about Rebecca’s missing purse:
Louie:
“Hey, Baloo! What can Louie do
for you?”
Baloo:
“Uh, this isn’t easy. It’s
Rebecca, ya see. She’s kinda…bent outta
shape?”
Louie (laughs lewdly):
“Her shape looks fine to ol’ Louie!”
Gidget (as Baloo):
Yeah, me too! The way she wears
that turtleneck sweater in tropical weather drives me nuts!
Muffy:
“Buffikins, I need to go… freshen up!”
Buffy:
“Wait, Precious Metals! I shan’t
let you wander around here alone!”
Muffy (when they return):
“Have you seen what’s
written in the restroom?”
Cody (as Baloo): Be careful—the toilet paper can be a bit…roughy?
Baloo finds
the necklace in a buried in a load of junk in Louie’s office:
Louie:
“Well, pluck my face! One of the
waiters must’ve found it!”
Rebecca to
Baloo (about Louie’s lack of refinement):
“Tell him
to mind his manners or I’ll wring what he has for a neck!”
“Baloo, I’m
going insane and I’m taking you with me!”
Cody:
That’s probably my
favorite line in the whole series.
Couldn’t you see that on a bumper sticker?
Louie:
“It’s great to have your as my guests tonight. I got you the best rooms in the place!”
Buffy:
“La-di-dah.”
Louie: “Rebecca, did I ever tell you that I
love your hair?”
Muffy:
“Only thirty-two times.” (leaves end of seat and hurries to other side,
away from Louie.)
Louie: “And what fabulous teeth!”
Gidget: What if he opened
her mouth and examined them, like at a slave auction?
Rebecca (to Buffy): “The better to bite him with!”
Cody: LOL! Wouldn’t it
have been funny if Buffy had said, “Don’t bite that. You don’t know where it’s been!”?
Louie: “And such nice pearls! South Seas, am I right?”
Rebecca
joins her clients on other side. “Balooooo….”
Baloo (undertone):
“Louie. Eeeeasy.”
Louie: “Is it just me, or does she seem a
little cold?”
Baloo: “Like a Thembrian icebox.”
Louie: “Well, maybe this’ll warm her up. Hit
it, Maestro!” (grabs Becky for a dance)
The Sea
Duck is sabotaged so they can’t leave Louie’s island:
Baloo: Plane all set up?”
Mechanic:
“Yep.”
Baloo:
“Then we’re ready to go.”
“Nope. Bad news.
Plane sabatage.”
Buffy:
“Saba-what?”
Mechanic (impatiently): “Tage… part missing!”
Muffy:
“Oh! It’s a plot! They’re trying to keep us here so they can
steal my jewels!”
Cody: Oh, that’s
great. Announce it to the whole island,
why don’t you?
Mechanic (unimpressed):
Relax! We got new part. Ready first thing morning.”
Baloo:
“I guess that means we’ll have to stay here overnight.”
Muffy (horrified): “Stay? Here?” (faints)
Baloo (disgustedly): “Wouldn’t she be great to take on a
camping trip!”
After Louie
reveals that Muffy and Buffy are crooks, Rebecca is incredulous: “That means Baloo was right… they were
phonies! (then pained) Baloo was
right?”
Muffy’s wig
comes off, revealing her to be as bald as Covington. Maybe that’s why she leads a life of crime…
Louie: “Ah-ah-ah… where’s your manners?”
(rubs Muffy’s bald head until it squeaks)
Muffy: “Don’t you touch me, you sleazy,
low-life joik!”
Rebecca:
“I don’t let people talk to my friends like that!” (slugs her off-screen
while Louie covers his eyes. Actually,
she wasn’t very sportsmanlike… Muffy was restrained by Baloo’s net and couldn’t
defend herself. Oh well. I like Becky when she does these
things.)
Cody: Who cares about
sportsmanlike? It’s survival of the
fittest! J
Rebecca: “Say you’d better get some ice for that eye,
it looks a little puffy!”
Louie:
“Gimme me some skin, mama!” They
high-five each other (with both hands)
Rebecca
prods Baloo awake after apparently getting him first aid (his head is swathed
in bandages).
Rebecca:
“Wake up, flyboy. How are ya
feeling?”
Baloo:
“Oooohh, I had the worst dream, Rebecca. These snobby people who talking funny stole our plane.”
Gidget: Notice how he says
our plane, not my
plane. Little Baloo is learning to
share!
Rebecca:
“You weren’t dreaming, Baloo.
But my good pal here got it back for us. Right, Louie?”
Louie:
“Right, Becky, baby!”
Baloo:
“Good pal? Becky baby? Now I know
I’m dreamin’!”
Rebecca: “Louie, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship.”
(loosely quoting Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca)
Cody: You think she was deliberately quoting
him? We know from A Star is Torn
that she thinks ‘Bumphrey Hogart’ is dreamy. J
Louie gives
her a big wet kiss on the cheek.
Startled, she shoves him off the pier and wipes her face in disgust.
“Then
again, maybe not!”
Commentary
Gidget: I almost gave this episode four Krakatoa
Specials instead of five. Although it
had great characterization, humor, action and pacing, (the elements that decide
my ratings) I didn’t feel the rare but not always necessary emotional wallop I
expect from TaleSpin. Then I
remembered: The friendship of Baloo and
Louie is seriously threatened by Rebecca’s presence. Without her to police Baloo’s actions, they can sit around and
scratch themselves, burp, fart, whatever.
They can ‘be themselves’, say, in For Whom the Bell Klangs and The
Road to Macadamia (presumably before Baloo’s Air Service went bankrupt and Higher
for Hire took over). Rebecca’s
insistence on civilized behavior comes in degrees: grudging tolerance and cringing embarrassment when Baloo does
something stupid in public and outright anger when it affects her
business. Rebecca and Baloo both learn
something in this ep. Baloo is forced
to make false ‘discoveries’ about Louie’s character and learns that blindly
following orders can have consequences (when he nearly loses a dear friend). Rebecca learns not to judge a book by its
cover, especially when it hurts other people (like Baloo and Louie). I found her unlikable most of the time,
except when she hauls off and slugs Muffy.
Cody: I’d have to disagree with the rating. Although I do like this episode, I would
have liked it even more if it had included Kit so I’d rank it at a four. Louie shows his true colors, Becky acts
like, well, herself (aka: judgmental and dogmatic), and Baloo goes over to the
Beck Side. ;) It was
interesting that he chose to believe Becky, whom he’s known for less than a
year, over Louie, who is his best friend of many years. I did love Muffy and Buffy, though I can’t
tell you which was which. ;)
Gidget: Muffy and Buffy are delightfully snobbish and seemingly too
delicate to live. The voice acting is
marvelous. (Linda Gary and Danny Mann,
respectively) do a great job going from haughty, precise diction to coarse,
guttural tones when revealed as no-good criminals. They also have non-speaking cameos on the Spruce Moose near the
end of My Fair Baloo and the terrorist scene in Vowel Play.
When
Rebecca finally apologizes to Louie for the way she treated him, he forgives
her:
Louie: “Hey, love means never having to say
you’re sorry, baby.”
(“Love
never means having to say you’re sorry” is a famous tag line from the 1970 film
Love Story)
Cody:
Wow, Becky learns a lesson. Who
knew the banshee businesswoman could be taught? ;)
Gidget:
Louie is very heroic here. Not
only does he solve the mystery, but he saves lives (stops Sea Duck from
crashing into a mountain).
Cody:
And all this after being treated like crap. I hope he charged them double for their rooms.
Gidget: I wonder: If Baloo, Rebecca and the Vanderschmeres all
accuse him of being a thief, why is Louie allowing them to sleep over? They’d have nowhere else to go, but I’m
surprised he doesn’t make ‘em spend the night in the jungle instead.
Cody: Or at least short-sheet their beds. ;) But I agree. He’s a real gentleman here.
Gidget: And Baloo was all
primed to blow him away with a flare
gun? Hospitable to his guests,
polite to a fault, Louie really does take a lot of crap. He is way too good for these ingrates. In
my opinion, that ‘pile of matted fur’ is the real one with class.
