Tom and Jerry Tales

Hmm.

Huh? W-What? Thomas.

Get out of my room, you crazy cat.

Go back downstairs, Thomas.

Thomas!

Get off me.

Don't tell me you're afraid of that little mouse.

Has your pea brain dropped right out of your soft little head?

Heavens, this cat's off his nut.

Close the door, Thomas. You'll let the weirdoes in.

Come, Thomas, there's much work to be done.

Be careful with my monster-hunting equipment.

V... V... Van Helsing.

The famous monster hunter.

What are you doing here at the monster convention?

Business and pleasure.

I'm going to get you, Van Helsing.

Hmm.

Thomas, I forgot my siiver werewolf trap.

Take the luggage upstairs. Guard my equipment.

I'll be back before midnight.

Welcome to Monster Con. I am the count.

As one of the first guests to arrive, allow me to get your ID badge...

...and to say...

Fine, get your own badge.

Hi, I'm Jasper, the social ghost.

Wanna be my friend?

Guess not.

What the...?

Hey, pal, we got this room till 3:30.

Yeah, the sign-up sheet is outside.

Uh-oh. Is that a ghost vac?

Oh, how rude.

I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go.

Help. Help.

Hello? Hello?

Me love Monster Con.

Mummy outfit ruined.

Me go home now.

Never win costume contest.

What's going on here?

My word. Is that a werewolf cat?

-Huh? -I've never trapped one of those before.

I'll add it to my collection.

Ah. Battery bad.

Wha... ? No.

I've got you in my sights, werewolf cat.

You can't escape from Van Helsing.

So we got a pair of newcomers to the cursed forest.

Finally, some entertainment.

Yeah, I got bat wings. And it ain't polite to stare.

That's just the way things work around here.

Oh, boy, I guess I gotta explain.

You see, this is a cursed forest, and I'm, uh, sort of a bat now.

Listen, I don't make the rules, I just follow them.

And here's the main one:

Anytime somebody enters the forest, at least one sucker has gotta stay behind.

But because there's two of you, only one has gotta stay.

Forever.

Yeah, that forever bit always gets them.

Hey, wait a minute. If I get out of here first, I can leave.

Uh, ahem.

Oh, hello. You weren't supposed to hear that.

So long, suckers.

Nuts. Exploding nuts.

You ain't seen the last of me.

Like I said, one of us has gotta stay behind.

The waterfall? That's our ticket out of here.

Oh, I'm sorry, did I say "our"? I meant my.

See you.

Yahoo! I'm the first one out.

Hey, no wings.

Wait a minute, if I ain't got wings, I can't fly.

Bleh!

Now, I hope the both of you realize that being a lifeguard is serious business.

The requirements are very demanding.

So keep that in mind, Droopy.

Oh, and you too, Tom.

Always remember, a lifeguard must be alert.

What?

Where did everybody go?

A lifeguard must be swift.

Oh, dear.

And a lifeguard must be strong.

I'm never going to get this job.

Okay, boys.

Your first test will be diving from this high board.

Now, you'll be judged on style, form and grace.

My assistant, Miss Shapely, will keep score.

She's very good at figures.

I shall go first.

Oh, dear.

Oh, my.

Sports lovers, I'm ready.

Ta-da.

Slight advantage, Droopy.

Your next test will be to swim across this debris-filled pool...

...over to Miss Shapely on the other side.

Good luck.

I shall do my best to avoid each and every obstacle.

Who turned out the lights?

On your mark, get set, go.

Glug, glug, glug.

Ready, Droopy?

-Ready. -On your mark.

Get set.

Go.

Oh, I just can't make up my mind.

They're both excellent candidates.

So I want you to fake a "real emergency" so we can see how they respond.

Sounds smart.

Help! Help!

Uh, save me.

Help.

Whatever. I'm out of here.

Stomach cramps.
